Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1001

[Chapter 994 A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood]

“What’s the sound?”

In the barbarian camp, Pang Duo and a group of flag leaders suddenly raised their heads and cast their eyes at the camp of the Dayu Kingdom to the east. At this time, they were discussing how to encircle and suppress the Dayu Kingdom. cavalry.

The arrival of 160,000 cavalry, 200,000 slave soldiers, and 4 to 50 million tribesmen made Pang Duo more and more confident.

He believed that even using the sea of people, the camp of Dayu State could be razed to the ground.

“It sounds like the sound of firecrackers from the Great Chongqing Kingdom.” A flag leader said, “A businessman from the Great Chongqing Kingdom once sent me something like this. The sound is very similar. Generally speaking, they only set off firecrackers when celebrating. “

The expressions of the other flag leaders softened, and Pang Duo said with a smile: “It’s better to celebrate that they will die soon.”

“Hahaha…” The generals suddenly burst into laughter.

After a pause, Pang Duo said: “Now that all our cavalry are in place, we can’t wait any longer. Dayu has enough food and grass, so they can continue to wait, but our cattle and sheep have to eat grass. If they continue to consume it, we will have to wait. We are hungry, so we will launch an attack early tomorrow morning.”

Bach, Wotai and other banner leaders all nodded. They even drove cattle and sheep for food along the way. Now that so many people are gathered here, the number of cattle and sheep needed is huge. , but being fixed in this place, the young cattle and sheep will soon eat up all the surrounding grass.

Pang Duo was ambitious in making a plan to take the initiative to attack. Their original plan was to wait for reinforcements for a month, but now everything is perfect.

Tomorrow, they will officially have a decisive battle with Great Chongqing.

A night of silence.

The next day, accompanied by the unique horn sound of the barbarians, Niu Ben ordered the soldiers to quickly enter the trenches. Just as they thought, the barbarians could not help but launch an attack first.

Under the current situation, the supply of the barbarians was a big problem, so after losing the initial advantage, he was not in a hurry and slowly waited for the arrival of the machine gun company.

“Tricks that haven’t changed for a hundred years have really made no progress at all.” Luo Quan pinched his waist and his eyes stayed on the machine wall in the trench position. These murderous weapons would show their horror for the first time in the war.

Niu Ben nodded slightly, and then made a gesture to the artillery position.

In this battle, they brought 150 Guards artillery pieces. These artillery pieces were placed on relatively high hills, and the entire battlefield could be seen from above.

Under his order, the artillerymen immediately opened the ammunition box in front of the artillery. One soldier pulled out the breech block, another soldier stuffed the conical shell into the gun bore from behind, and the third soldier stuffed the propellant into the gun to complete the ammunition filling. The first soldier re-closed the breech block. At this time, the fourth soldier pulled the match rope. With a “boom” sound, the cannonball flew directly towards the densely charging barbarian slave soldiers.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

After the first shell landed, a series of shells fell among the charging crowd.

These shells exploded immediately after they hit the ground. The surrounding barbarian slave soldiers were blown away by the shock wave of the explosion, and the soldiers at the center of the explosion were left dead.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The first round of shelling killed more than 600 barbarian slave soldiers, and the second round of shelling sounded again after an interval of ten seconds.

Barbarian camp.

Pang Duo and the flag leaders could only watch the slave soldiers die tragically in the artillery fire. The artillery position of Dayu State was in the camp. If they wanted to destroy the artillery, they had to break through the trench.

However, he did not feel distressed at all when facing the death of slave soldiers, because in their eyes, slaves were not human beings at all. As long as they could win, it would not matter if they all died. Anyway, as long

as they won, the country of Chongqing would be full of slaves. They can catch it.

The other flag leaders basically had the same idea as Pang Duo. They quietly watched the slave soldiers being driven towards the Yu Kingdom’s position. They hoped that these slave soldiers could consume all the bullets of the Yu Kingdom. They also hoped that these barbarian slave soldiers could consume all the bullets of the Yu Kingdom. Their corpses can fill up the trenches of Dayu.

“These artillery pieces are more powerful and the rate of fire is much faster.” Pondo concluded after observing.

Bach showed a hint of greed, “If we win this battle, these artillery pieces will all be ours.”

“Hey, everyone will share these treasures equally.” Wotai was not to be outdone. Their cavalry was already gathering, waiting for the slave soldiers. Fill the trenches for them.

As they were thinking, suddenly a dense “ta-da-da” sound sounded, and Pang Duo was confused. This was exactly the sound they heard yesterday.

It was the long flat machine gun that was making the sound now.

The trench distance between the two armies was actually less than three hundred meters, and the barbarian slave soldiers quickly entered their shooting range.

Facing the overwhelming flow of people, the soldiers of Dayu began to fight back. They could not kill so many people even in one day. Although their weapons were superior, the pressure they faced was also great.

However, the arrival of machine guns seemed to solve this problem. Thirty machine guns were fully fired at this moment, and the continuous flames swept towards the barbarian cavalry that rushed over. Coupled with the soldiers’ shooting, the barbarian slave soldiers fell down row by row, and the charging team As if blocked by the torrent of bullets, the bodies were piled higher and higher outside the boundary.

Under such ferocious firepower, the hearts of the charging barbarian slave soldiers were gradually filled with fear. They had never seen a weapon that killed people so neatly.

Although they rushed forward with all their strength, they just became cold corpses under this weapon.

As the hill of corpses piled higher and higher, the despair in the hearts of the barbarian slave soldiers finally broke out, “Run!” Someone in the crowd shouted, and the charging slave soldiers began to break up.

Now even if they are killed by barbarians, they are not willing to die in the fire and bullets.

Niu Ben and Luo Quan were also shocked by this scene. Thirty machine guns consumed a total of 18,000 rounds of ammunition in one minute. From the barbarian charge to the pile of corpses, they continued to shoot for an hour, even if it was a minute. Shooting half the amount now consumes more than 300,000 rounds of ammunition, and according to Sun Changce, Maxim can shoot continuously for four hours.

But now he obviously doesn’t need four hours, because in just one hour, at least 60,000 corpses were left on the grassland forever. Although the Falcon rifle also contributed to this, the machine gun accounted for most of the credit. After all, he could not put all of them together. The soldiers were crammed into the first row of trenches, so the infantry’s contribution was limited.

Luo Quan’s body trembled slightly. The barbarians’ old and dense charge in front of the machine guns was simply asking for death. Looking at the corpses piled densely on the grass, he felt terrified in his heart.

What a terrifying monster Song Changping created.

Compared with the shock of Niu Ben and others, Pang Duo and the barbarian generals only had fear in their hearts. It was the first time they saw the slave soldiers running back like crazy and venting their anger on them.
