The weird game of the ancient gods

Chapter 216 The power of heavy artillery

"Stand your position, soldier! Don't complain like a bitch!" the lieutenant colonel yelled into the communicator.

"The enemy's cavalry appears on the flanks, asking for support." It was another call for help, but this time it was not without purpose. From the woods on the right side of the position, dark cavalry could be seen pouring out, numbering at least five thousand.

There is a small river on the right side of the position as a barrier, but the river is not deep and the cavalry can force the crossing. The lieutenant colonel arranged two platoons to rely on the river embankment to defend.

"Hold them off, don't let them rush across the river!"

Xia Yu said: "Do you need me to bring the special forces over to increase the number?"

The lieutenant colonel hesitated, "No, it should be fine."

Facts proved that the lieutenant colonel's judgment was correct. The cavalry dispersed across the river and were shot by several machine guns ambushed on the river embankment. The men were turned upside down and the river was dyed red with blood.

But there were too many enemies after all, and they quickly rushed up from the river banks on both sides. Four all-terrain vehicles rushed over immediately, putting down a dozen infantrymen to block the gap. The machine guns on the vehicles blasted those who had just The cavalry who came ashore were beaten to pieces, and the broken flesh and blood covered the river bank.

The remaining cavalrymen saw that it was not good and were so frightened that they crossed back one after another, but they were unwilling to retreat and lingered in the woods on the other side of the river. Some scattered cavalrymen came ashore further away, but the number was too small and they could not escape at all. Not daring to rush over, they were traveling in small groups through the woods, and the chariot team had to drive them back and forth to hunt them down.

Boom boom boom! An explosion suddenly sounded at the rear of the position. Xia Yu raised his binoculars and looked behind. Another group of cavalry, about three thousand in number, arrived at the rear of the position at some point. There was only one platoon there, but it was buried. A large number of directional anti-infantry mines unexpectedly worked.

This time the lieutenant colonel finally showed a solemn expression, "Mr. Consultant, please take the special operations team to reinforce us!"

"Leave it to me." Xia Yu said, picked up the gun and went downstairs. However, when he led two teams to the rear position, he only saw corpses on the ground, and the cavalry had long since disappeared. It disappeared. It turned out that it broke into the mine array and received a wave of heavy damage. Then it was stopped by the barbed wire fence. The machine gun swept it and it collapsed.

Xia Yu only caught a few heads and returned to the castle with his men.

When the battle progressed to the 37th minute, the expeditionary force finally suffered its first death.

A catapult projected a sky full of rubble, and an unlucky guy was hit on the head. The violent impact caused him to fall directly to the ground, scaring the pit mate next to him to shout.

"Henry is down, Henry is down! Medic!"

Only then did we discover that the unlucky guy was later found to have only suffered a concussion, and that the helmet had blocked most of the impact of the gravel.

But not everyone was so lucky. More and more rocks were fired, and several people were injured one after another.

The loss was not big, but it was a very dangerous signal. Some archers even crawled to a place more than a hundred meters away and started shooting.

Although the accuracy of this shooting method is not very good, it still poses some threats to the soldiers on the front line. One soldier did not hide in the foxhole, but half-kneeled on the ground and opened fire, and was shot in the thigh by an arrow. Blood flowed.

Another soldier's neck was scratched and he screamed and left the battle.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we have suffered heavy casualties and can no longer withstand it. There are too many enemies and we need support!"

"Then withdraw, abandon the first line of defense, and move to the second line of defense!"

The two platoons of infantrymen on the front line quickly ran out of their bunkers as if they had been given amnesty, ran to the second line of defense, and continued fighting against the sandbag wall.

The second line of defense originally had a company of troops, but it was further strengthened at this time and had a "strong" force of nearly two hundred people.

More than twenty light and heavy machine guns fired bullets like raindrops, and the density of firepower suddenly increased. The Imperial Army suffered heavy casualties every time they took a step forward.

Manuk's eyes widened when he saw it. This was the army he used to sweep the world.

"Your Majesty, the third legion is completely destroyed!"

A corps of 5,000 people, with a total of three corps invested in it. Considering that there are only a few thousand remnants on the front line still fighting bravely, that is to say, more than 10,000 people were lost in less than an hour after the war started. Not counting the casualties of the two cavalrymen.

But Manuk knew that he could only continue to invest at this time. Otherwise, everything that was smashed in from the front will be in vain.

"Then let the fourth corps go up. The fifth corps is ready, beat the drums and march, blow the horns, and let the cavalry attack too! As for the baggage troops, push all the remaining trebuchets up!"

A series of orders were issued, and the imperial army immediately began to move.

"Lieutenant Colonel, cavalry was found behind our position!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, the enemy has stepped up its attack from the front."

"Lieutenant colonel, the left wing was attacked by the enemy's cavalry for the second time, requesting support."

Various news came one after another. Xia Yu stood on the city wall and looked at the bloody battles in all directions. He felt nervous. Can he win this battle? Looking around, Ergouzi was already shooting black guns, and Feihu had also gone to the front line to join the battle. Unfortunately, he couldn't play any role. How about spending military funds to buy a main battle tank to defeat the enemy among a hundred thousand troops? General's head?

But I can’t open it myself.

At this moment, the voice of the air team sounded in the communicator, "Lieutenant Colonel, we have discovered the location of the enemy's headquarters, coordinates 72.34!"

"Good job!" Lieutenant Colonel Sanchez shouted excitedly, "Fire team, get ready to work. It's time to counterattack. Coordinates 72 and 34, give me a covering shot!"

boom! boom! boom! boom! The huge roar instantly blocked the noisy sounds on the battlefield, and four heavy mortar shells fell on the enemy's rear. The Fifth Army Corps there was preparing to enter the battle. Because it thought it was in a safe rear, it had not had time to form its formation. , suffered a devastating blow almost instantly.

Although the 120mm self-propelled mortar is also a mortar, its power is already classified as heavy firepower. The shell's damage diameter is 40 meters × 40 meters, which is close to the size of two basketball courts. It can kill hundreds of people with one shot. casualties.

A legion was destroyed in an instant. What's more terrible is that Manuk is located nearby, and his command system is also there. The command system, including trumpeters and drummers, also became victims of the bombardment.

Manuk was completely stunned, but he was not killed because the so-called command headquarters was actually the drummers, trumpeters, flags, etc. used to command the army, which was still a little far away from him.

But this round of shelling had a huge impact on him. He originally thought that he was in a 'safe area' outside the range, but now he realized that he was overthinking it.

Moreover, the enemy's weapons were too powerful. This round of salvo not only caused huge casualties, but also caused the soldiers who were fighting hard in the front to look behind them.

"Firepower team, launch a round of artillery bombardment on the front line position, and then extend the fire backward to block the enemy's reinforcements!"

"receive!"

Boom boom boom! There was another salvo, and then the self-propelled mortars began to bombard the infantry phalanxes that had not yet entered the battle one by one.

Every time a shot was fired, scores of soldiers fell, especially those infantrymen in square formations who had not yet entered the battle and were in neat and dense formations. Once a shot was fired, a square formation basically collapsed.

Less than three minutes of artillery fire completely stunned the imperial army. Coupled with the loss of command ability, the tens of thousands of troops in front of the position fell into complete chaos.

"The mobile troops gathered immediately, and the infantry on the second line of defense prepared to counterattack and follow the tanks to advance forward!"

All ten tanks abandoned the mission they were performing and quickly drove towards the second line of defense. The machine guns and cannons on the vehicles fired at the same time. This time, even the walls of corpses could not stop the power of the 20mm machine cannon. It can easily break walls. Even if you hide behind a big tree, you will end up being shot in two.

The chariot not only brought enhanced firepower, but also brought a strong deterrent effect. The Imperial Army, which had been plunged into chaos, completely lost the will to fight and began to flee crying.

"Prepare a counterattack!"

Two hundred infantrymen lined up in a long skirmish line, firing as they advanced, accompanied by ten tanks, chasing the enemy to death.

Thousands of remnant troops on the front line fled wildly, and the army behind them that was originally going to fight was also disrupted and was at a loss.

Xia Yu's blood boiled with excitement. He had won. This battle seemed to be won!

However, at this moment, the voice of the air team came from the communicator again, "Lieutenant Colonel, there is some bad news. A cavalry unit is coming towards our camp. There are about five thousand people. I think It's best if you can provide some support, there is no danger for us to defend here, and we may not be able to withstand it."
