Chapter 147: The War of Independence
, the army methodically sneaked, and Thor suddenly raised his right hand.
He had been staring at the front for a long time, and his pupils had shrunk into small dots!
Because he saw the sparkling fire, the projectile scraped the soldier's head with a terrifying speed, and then, lifting the bone fragments, the soldier twisted to the ground in pain!
The projectile was a frantic thrashing of the soldiers' queue like a stone, and the bullet did not come from the front, but through the dense places of the woods, falling down in the form of a drop point!
Thor quickly ran to the artillery! His eyes were getting deeper and deeper bloodshot!
Raising the muzzle of the cannon and meowing forward, through the woods, he seemed to see the playful smile of the Elsie cavalry, although he did not know the direction, let him judge and judge again with years of shooting experience!
Grit your teeth and then, launch!
The shaking came, the artillery retreated in time, and then in the majestic tremor, it was cushioned on the dirt behind it.
The remnant sun was like blood, and under the dark sky, there was another ray of light, illuminating the scene in front of him, and the cannonball galloped into the distance.
A dense burst of projectiles fell, and the soldiers listened to the thunderous roar, the howling wind, roaring down, and they rolled to the ground one after another, and the gunfire like fried beans rang out incessantly.
On the ground, drenched in blood, the soldier's eyes were filled with endless despair, and he hadn't been locked in for a long, long time.
Everyone wanted to escape from the dark jungle and run in all directions, dodging the locked "salvo".
The son of Mayor Hobbit followed Thor, and they watched as the roar grew louder and louder, and the barrage enveloped again from a distance, a barrage of bullets.
The Elsie Imperial projectile is a continental common type, and its explosiveness and lethality are recognized by various countries.
A dense rain of bullets swooped down, blocking the vehicles transporting the baggage, and the massive kinetic energy shattered the vehicle's baffle, and the broken wood pieces flew and scraped through the arm of the Hobbit mayor's son, but he did not bother to be injured.
Yin Hong was spreading, but he quickly approached, helping the soldiers unload the baggage from the cart, bypassing the horses that had been pierced by the projectiles, and keeping up with the group.
Thor quickly climbed up a tall tree, and he opened his binoculars to watch the flickering firelight and smoke-shrouded cavalry formation in the distance under the gaze of the monocular.
In front of me, there were still projectiles raging everywhere, and salvos over and over again, soldiers scraped by bullets, and all kinds of carriages.
The soldier quickly tied his body with ropes, braved the rain of bullets, and followed the team's orders to move closer to the depths of the forest.
The woods were shot with holes, and sometimes the trees were smashed and then fell, and the rest of the lieutenants were armed with sabers and roared as the soldiers turned to the right.
In the endless despair, the gun in the soldier's hand was used as a weapon, and he fought back in a daze.
Thor prayed silently in his heart, just to judge the enemy's position, in the rain of bullets, human beings were so small in front of this salvo general, and the natural disasters brought by human beings were drummed again and again.
Thor clenched the single lens tube in his hand, watching the war coldly with the eyes of a bystander, he couldn't let the pain affect his judgment.
Although the casualties of the army made him uncomfortable, calm down!
The situation of the troops fell deeper and darker, and the flames of life were extinguished.
Under the remnant sun, he stared ahead, ignoring the ubiquitous howling wind, and looked at the opponent's position before the troops were about to be swallowed up by a rain of bullets!
Quickly spitting out a series of data, the adjutant and the artilleryman adjusted the cannon, and stuffed the last two cannons with lead bullets!
They just need to hold out until sunset, after sunset, and it will be safe here!
Several bolts of lightning streaked across the sky, dispelling the darkness, and the thick darkness broke down, and the cannonballs roared and flew towards it.
The Elsie Empire's final hiding position, Thor couldn't, and his eyes couldn't see what was happening on the other side, but there was no doubt that the other party's bullet rain had decreased a lot, and he could no longer see the overwhelming barrage!
Aftermath!
Many soldiers sat on the ground tiredly, rubbing their twisted or bruised arms, and sitting on the snow-soaked ground, the blood making it all lifeless and warm.
How much the team of more than 1,000 people has decreased, I don't know, the flag of independence that has been beaten to pieces is still flying, and the remnant sun is falling, and I can't bear to be here.
The adjutant hurried in, and in the silence, the North McCann Independence Regiment counted through the sky for 30 seconds again, and there was no more barrage of coverage, and excitement filled his heart!
The sun became more and more silent, the remnant sun was like blood, and it gradually turned to darkness, and in the woods, shadows gradually extended, and someone raised a broken flag, and then stood up in the sound of the evening wind that was howling more and more.
Whether white as paper or with an unusually red glow, they continued their march in silence, praying that they would be able to dodge possible attacks in the future.
Thor's eyes swept over the ranks, and he observed the recruits who were retching from the brutality of the battlefield.
Fortunately, such recruits are only a small minority, otherwise they would not have been able to cross the dense forest.
What's more, the days of their jungle career have made them extremely resilient.
After hours of marching, the night completely covered the land.
Camping site.
The soldiers lay down and felt the hard, heavy earth, the dim canopy, the lush woods, and the birdsong.
Thinking back to a day of brutal fighting, I feel the ease of lying on my back.
Due to the unknown, the highlands of the North McCann region have been without food for several days, the famine has lasted for several years, and only the Port Weil region by the sea has relied on the "bounty" brought by the sea, that is, fishing.
The fact that there is no widespread food shortage in Port Weir does not mean that there is no food shortage in the highlands.
The son of the Hobbit Mayor's family was proficient in medicine, so he often worked as a doctor, and his eyes were a little dark, for he saw many purple-faced soldiers, either exhausted or wounded, and dying in pain.
The son of the Hobbit mayor smeared the last bit of wine from the jug to reduce the inflammation, but it still did not save their lives.
The soldiers patrolled vigilantly, because danger was everywhere in the forest, and Thor knew that even if they made a pact with the spirit creatures, they could not be trusted.
Underneath the dense forest is a ground full of weeds, and there are often some centipedes, or other insects, that pass through it with its dense tentacles.
In this dense forest, there is no absolute master, the hunters search in all directions, only for their prey, their eyes focused on the officers and soldiers, they are all watching in the dark, waiting for the lone soldiers, stunned with poison, and then pulled into the abyss.
There was a loud noise, and something seemed to be agitating in the depths of the woods, and then a black shadow burst out, like a speeding car, smashing through many branches.
Wild boar!
The soldiers quickly rolled over, and then quickly loaded their breech guns ** and projectiles, someone pulled out the dagger at his waist, and then anxiously prepared to intercept, Thor was also ready to face the wild boar that rushed to load.
They had paid for three days in this dense forest, and they knew the danger of this place, and they had encountered wild boar-like creatures.
Seeing the rushing boar, the speed in the soldier's hand became faster and more crazy, because the boar with its fangs quickly struck a soldier!
Bullets swirled and rushed into the boar's body, squeezing out several surges of blood.
Poof, a blood flower bloomed from its body, and the boar let out a huge wail, but it didn't slow down.
Several projectiles sped at the speed again, staggering to tear through the boar's skin's defenses, and then recessed into the boar's body, and the boar, covered in several blood marks, continued to rush forward.
Blood dripped on the ground, and in the already dark jungle, the wild boar rushed towards the only few points of light, and it was the fire!
In a sparse rain of bullets, it knocked over the fire, and the air smelled strangely burnt, like a flame, roasting some creature.
The extinguishing of the light source attracted unknown peepers, the darkness seemed to become more numerous, and the shortage of water sources and food made the soldiers' throats itch unusually much.
After hours of marching through the forest, exhausted and now about to be attacked by wild beasts, Thor looked at the dark shadow, his eyes narrowed, he issued his saber, and rushed forward!
Poof!
Thor had misestimated the boar's strength! He couldn't compare, and cold sweat and green tendons quickly crawled all over his forehead.
Under the huge force, his body rolled, and he slammed into several trees one after another before stopping, and the nostrils were filled with a strange smell of rust.
