Chapter 1508: The Last Samurai (I, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The ironclad cavalry suddenly appeared behind the battle line, and at the urging of the knights, the horses kept increasing their speed.
Countless iron hooves stepped on the earth, making a thunderous roar, and the earth trembled with a roar.
The knights, like wolves and tigers, raised their shining sabers and shouted at the Free Army.
Looking down from the sky, they were like an unstoppable torrent of steel, and with overwhelming momentum, they pounced on the free army opposite.
Like a tsunami frenzy, like a stormy wave.
No matter who dares to stand in front of it, they will inevitably be crushed by the huge waves.
For a moment, all sounds were lost between heaven and earth, and only the sound of the iron hooves of the war horse remained.
'Boom, boom, boom...... 'The terrible sound of iron hooves seemed to trample on people's hearts, like drumsticks beating violently on the hearts of Semitic Free Army soldiers.
Thousands of horses are running together, and the indomitable momentum is terrifying, and I can't breathe at all, and I even feel that my abdominal cavity trembles involuntarily with the sound of iron hooves.
Under the strong coercion, all the soldiers of the Free Army panicked.
Despite their lack of combat experience, they also understood that once they were approached by enemy cavalry, their infantry had no choice but to die.
Under the nervousness, some soldiers immediately raised their guns and opened fire on the cavalry in the distance.
But because the distance far exceeded the range, and there was no aim at all, the bullet had long since flown somewhere.
At the same time, it also attracted a group of soldiers to involuntarily open fire, banging gunshots scattered sounds, from this chaotic gunfire can be heard that the soldiers of the Free Army are unorganized, just instinctively shooting to protect themselves.
But when they fired a bullet, they found that their hands trembled involuntarily, and they couldn't help but be more nervous, but the more nervous they were, the more they couldn't pull the nimble bolt and load the second bullet, as if their bolt was suddenly stuck.
At this time, I saw that the enemy cavalry on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and I could clearly see that the cavalry on the opposite side was holding a blitzkrieg flag in his hand, and in a few breaths, he was about to rush in front of the free army.
The Semitic Free Army, at this time, was like a basin of water spilled, spreading out a large area, and it was impossible to organize an effective formation before the enemy cavalry rushed to the front
The situation became more and more urgent, and once the cavalry broke through into the infantry, it would be a one-sided slaughter.
The nearest Semitic Free Army to the enemy was the unarmored rifleman.
The officers of the Free Army all showed fear on their faces, but none of them retreated at this time.
This is also the benefit of these officers, although they were all defeated under Lord Luo, but they have also accumulated rich combat experience and excellent psychological quality.
No one will, and no one dares to casually follow the example of my officials in the Qing Dynasty, and escape from the battle......
They scolded angrily, brandished their whips and knives, beat the timid soldiers around them incessantly, stomped on their buttocks with their leather boots, scolded them in the most vulgar language, pushed them, and ordered them to form a formation as much as possible.
Gather as many people as you can, as long as you gather, maybe there is still a fight~!
At this moment, the generals of the Free Army represented by Melun prayed to the heavens, hoping that the gods and Buddhas in the sky could bless them, and hoped that a miracle would happen.
They are even willing to sell their souls if they can.
At this moment, in front of the position, there was a sudden sound of 'tutu tutu'.
The sound was crisp, cheerful, and full of rhythm, and it was the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun that the Free Army was equipped with.
Hearing the familiar sound of machine guns, the soldiers fell silent.
As long as they are surrounded by machine guns, they can feel much more at ease, and machine guns are always the most reliable weapon against the dense crowd of enemy troops.
Immediately afterward, another machine gun rang out next to him.
And then the third, and then the fourth......
At this critical juncture, the machine gunners of the Free Army stepped forward, set up the machine guns in the shortest possible time, and opened fire on the enemy.
In fact, this is also a very normal thing for them, after all, one of their main tasks is to provide fire support to large forces.
A Gatling gun spewed tongues of fire, and a torrent of bullets swept towards the cavalry on the opposite side.
The long strip magazine was emptied in a matter of seconds.
The red-hot bullets were connected end to end, like whips of hell, shaking back and forth on the battlefield.
The Freith infantrymen, who had just been blinded, immediately found the group, spontaneously gathered near the machine guns, raised their rifles and fired at the enemy.
The cavalrymen were immediately overturned on their backs by the shots, screaming and falling to the ground. The horses behind them couldn't dodge, and immediately roared and stepped over their heads. It turned into a blur of flesh.
But the rest of the knights still stared at the blood-red eyes, clenched their teeth, leaned down and lay on the back of the horse, desperately urging the horse.
Rush, rush, rush~!
As long as you rush forward, you can defeat those old soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
As long as they see blood, the cowardly soldiers will be frightened and run away like rabbits.
As long as you rush in, you will win~!
These last few hundred meters will determine the victory or defeat of the war and their life and death.
People kept falling off their horses, and then they were heavily stepped into the dirt by the horses galloping behind.
Some horses tripped over the men and horses that fell in front of them, rose into the air, tumbled and fell heavily to the ground, and then were trampled by the horses behind.
Under the madness, some people even had red eyes and directly stabbed the war horse in the ass with a sword.
Under their desperate urging, although there were many losses, the speed of their charge did not decrease but increased, and they rushed towards the free army at a rapid pace.
By this time, the soldiers of the Free Army had come to their senses, and more and more machine guns were now joining in.
The sound of machine guns was incessant. The "thump" of rifle shots also joined in.
The charging knights kept falling, but the people behind still rushed frantically in the rain of bullets.
The rest of the soldiers, also under the command of the officer, raised their guns and fired constantly at the cavalry.
A torrential rain of bullets poured down on the heads of the cavalrymen.
Although the cavalry that charged was numerous, under the blow of this rain of bullets, it was like cutting potatoes with a knife, and the further they rushed, the thinner the ranks became.
However, the cavalry were getting closer and closer to the Free Army.
So that the soldiers could clearly see the hideous face protection under the opponent's battle helmet, and some soldiers stood up in fright, screaming and throwing down the guns in their hands, trying to escape, but then they were shot dead by the angry officer next to them.
The officer shouted angrily, "Hold on, prepare to ram ......"
Before his words fell, the cavalry had already collided with men and horses.
The impact was almost suicidal, like a rushing torrent crashing into a rock, and the horses rushed into the crowd, stirring up countless bright red blood flowers.
The knight on the horse, too, flew out of his horse under his customary name, and fell into the crowd of Free Army soldiers, knocking them to the ground.
Fragments of human limbs, parts of armor, and countless pieces of rag all flew up with the blood, forming a vast vortex of chaos.
The roars of the soldiers, the screams of the soldiers, the clashing of weapons, the neighing of the horses...... It all rang out.
Because the walls of the Free Army soldiers were too dense, the knights rushed in and knocked them on their backs, killing and wounding countless people, but when they brandished their swords and tried to extend their victory, they found that they had lost the most valuable speed of the cavalry.
Then the red-eyed Freith soldiers raised their guns, the muzzles of which were almost on the knights, and fired at them frantically until they were all broken into dice.
Some of the soldiers finished firing the bullets in their guns, and before they had time to pull the bolts, they immediately cursed angrily, raised their bayonets with great courage, and stabbed at the cavalry.
But in the midst of this delay, more cavalry were already cheering and rushing towards the gap.
The Semitic cavalry rushing into the gap passed the Free Army soldiers who were still firing, and without stopping, they quickly fought to the rear to open a larger gap in the crowd of the Free Army.
They all knew that although the battle formation of the Free Army was strong, it was like a piece of glass, and as long as it was stabbed down with a knife, it would inevitably cause a total collapse.
Once they broke and fled backwards, the cavalry and the Semitic forces behind could calmly pursue them and win the battle.
When Merlun and the others saw it, they couldn't help but turn pale: It's over, the enemy rushed in, and this battle was lost~!
The rest of the question is just a question of how many people you can die.
Despite this, they also fought hard to direct the resistance of the Free Army soldiers around them, hoping to reduce casualties as much as possible.
Only in this way will the judges be able to give a few years less sentences when they go to military tribunals in the future.
Merren can already imagine his own crimes, underestimate the enemy, rush forward, and fight for merit......
Just when General Melun felt that his future was suddenly bleak and his life was dark, at this moment, he suddenly heard a dull sound of machine guns behind him.
The voice was different from Gatling's, more rapid and fierce, like a pot of boiling water. Continuous, unstoppable.
Melen turned his head and, sure enough, saw that the SS machine guns mounted on the wagons had already opened fire.
"God of Light and Great Demon God bless, when did these guys keep up. General Melon was so moved that he almost shed tears: it's better to be his brother-in-law, who knows how to take care of his eldest brother.
Due to the height advantage of the carriage, the SS machine gunners were condescending on the carriage, and the firing range was not blocked, so they opened fire almost without scruples.
The bullets flew almost the scalp of the Free Army and flew towards the cavalry not far away.
Despite the heavy fire support of the SS, the soldiers of the Free Army were all frightened at this moment, and then cursed loudly and lay on the ground, afraid that the bullets that would not be long enough to hit them.
Everyone is automatic, and it is difficult for machine guns to be accurately controlled when firing continuously.
Due to the frantic strafing of the machine guns, at a rate of up to 600 rounds per minute, the cavalry fell to the ground as if they had been cut by a sickle.
Gatlin and Makqin fired a volley in unison, and for a while, people turned on their backs, and flesh and blood flew sideways, which was extremely tragic.
The cavalry who rushed into the Free Army were swept to the ground because their aim was too high.
But the knights behind were still not afraid of death, and charged forward desperately.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Old Political Axe Army on their flanks also shouted, swooped forward, and launched a counterattack at the right time.
What worries the Free Army even more is that on both sides of the cavalry, the infantry who had already broken and fled have also completed their regrouping and rushed forward with shouts again.
And the morale is quite high-pitched - because at this moment, they seem to have seen the hope of victory~!
Although the machine guns have fierce firepower, they are okay against the infantry. However, against the fast and mobile cavalry, it is still somewhat inadequate.
At this time, the three troops were like three monstrous waves, swooping towards the Free Army from different directions.
Because of the pursuit, the free army was disorganized and scattered, and it was only later that the battle formation was reformed under the efforts of the officers, but after all, there was no top-down system to command.
It is impossible to rationally allocate troops and firepower and deal with them calmly.
Dealing with the enemy on one side alone is already overstretched, and now the enemy is divided into three sides, and all of them are pounced.
They can't cope with it.
To make matters worse, they pursued too far, far beyond the range of the artillery, making it impossible for the mortars in the rear to fire.
The large-caliber artillery on the coalition positions could only be watched dry.
Seeing this situation, at the rear of the position, some unscrupulous dogs in the human alliance army immediately began to bet, is Lord Luo's name of winning a hundred battles going to be folded here today?
Although the battle situation is unfavorable, the human generals have a little expectation in their hearts,
Lord Lorraine's undefeated record since the exhibition is really bloody. It's also good to be able to hit Lord Luo's arrogance hard.
Anyway, the dead Semitic Free Army, the enemy has not yet rushed to the position of the coalition army.
Former Semitic generals like Hawkes gritted their teeth and scolded Madorins and Fell: this is really too unsophisticated.
They were so crazy that they threw all the elite soldiers of the Semitic race into it at once.
This is really a big gamble~!!
This is like gambling with an unskilled gambler, although the puppy on the other side has no ability, but he dares to work hard and play showhand.
No matter how high the level of the gambling god is, at this time, he can't play any tricks, and he can only fall into a passive situation.
Hawkes and the others used to look down on Madorins and Fell, thinking that these two mud-legged men had no ability, and they all climbed up by slapping horses and engaging in intrigues behind their backs, but at this moment, they couldn't help but feel impressed by their madness and boldness.
It's so fucking shameless enough~~!
For his own selfish interests, he dared to drag all the elite warriors of the Semitic tribe into the water.
But then again, in the face of human machine guns and cannons, and in the face of the world-famous Flying Eagle God of War, they can't come up with a better way. The only thing I can think of is to build a trench system like Veraprani and close the distance as much as possible.
Even though Madorins won the battle, it was only a battle.
At such a cost, at most, it will be a lose-lose situation, and the military strength of the temporary political axe will be exhausted.
They had lost all their chips, and in the end, Lorraine's million-strong army would still be pushing forward. It was a terrible legion that was several times more powerful than the Free Army.
Compared to them, the Semitic Free Army can only be regarded as an ordinary group army-level unit, not to mention the iron-blooded and ruthless security army that claims to 'can drag the devil out of hell'.
At that time, what did they use to resist the human army in Lorraine?
A few people were puzzled.
At this time, I heard Lorraine muttering and scolding in a low voice: "Grandma's, those dog things in the back of the back have to be cleaned up well, these bunch of unfed puppies~!"
Hawks and the others couldn't help but be stunned, at this time, why did this Lord Luo suddenly talk about things in the rear.
But it soon dawned on him that Lorraine had been promoting that in Semitic, according to the Declaration of the Rights of Man, the coalition army abolished a qiē nobility and its privileges wherever they went.
Second Master Lei ruthlessly collected taxes from them and confiscated their land, it can be said that none of the nobles in the occupied area like Lord Lorraine and the human alliance.
Although under the suppression of his machine guns and artillery, no one dared to speak out, but it must have been full of complaints, and resentment had accumulated in his heart.
This battle was not only for the Free Army, but also for the recalcitrant nobles in the occupied territories.
As long as Mardolins and the others win this battle, then with the prestige of a great victory, there will definitely be countless people in the rear who will jump out in response, create all kinds of disturbances, engage in armed gangs, sneak attack on the human coalition army, sabotage the lines of communication, and even organize riots to set the entire rear on fire.
Although Lorraine has a million-strong army, after all, the Semitic territory is too big, and in the face of this situation, it will definitely not be busy, and it will not last long, and in the end, it will definitely be a gloomy withdrawal.
What a clever strategy~!
Thinking of this, Hawkes and the others couldn't help but glance at Madorins again. They also have to admit that although this trick is crazy, it is also really clever.
Move a shot and pull the whole body, and cover the plate with a son, worthy of being a conspirator. This trick is really clever~!
At this time, the shape on the battlefield became more and more critical.
In order to resist the onslaught of the cavalry, including the SS, all the machine guns were hastily placed in the front, and the frenzied rain of bullets was used to stop the cavalry onslaught.
On their flanks, the firepower was naturally much weaker, and only a few rows of soldiers raised their single-shot rifles in their hands and kept firing at the soldiers who pounced on them from the right.
Although many soldiers of the old political axe army were shot and fell, because the firepower was too weak, every time a soldier fell, more people shouted and pounced.
They were only a few dozen meters away from the free army's makeshift defensive line.
On either side of them, the infantrymen were also shouting and rushing over. The distance from the Free Army was less than a hundred meters.
Once they come in and fight hand-to-hand, no matter how heroic the free army resists, in the face of several times the enemy, it will inevitably collapse completely, or even annihilate the whole army~!
