Chapter 1281 Stalemate

That’s right, hold on.

There is a gentle hillside behind the camp, and it is almost impossible to retreat to the top of the mountain despite the rain of bullets. Moreover, the rescue team operates separately and cannot get reliable support in a short time. Under extremely unfavorable circumstances, holding on here is currently the only way to cause maximum damage to the enemy.

After all, the gap in the number of people on both sides is too big, and everyone's backpacks are full of food, clothes and other supplies, and they don't even bring a heavy machine gun. This makes the weapons on both sides basically at the same level, making it difficult to rely on each other like in the past. Long-range firepower makes up for the lack of numbers.

Fifty to a thousand, Yu Wan could already predict the result.

He admitted that when the idea came to him, he was still a little scared in his heart, but he was no longer the coward who could only hold his head and shrink back in the past. Fear would not affect his duties as a monitor.

Even if he dies here, he will make the other party pay a high price!

Obviously other teammates had the same idea at the moment, otherwise they wouldn't have deliberately suppressed the shooting speed and put the enemy within two hundred meters.

The bullets everyone carries are limited, and only in medium and close combat can the best hit rate be achieved.

Of course, the enemy's accuracy will also be improved due to the shortened distance. This is a double-edged sword, and will determines everything.

The hillside delayed the opponent's movement. Yuwan waited for nearly a minute before he saw someone entering the 100-meter circle - at this distance, he could already see the face of the sneak attacker clearly with a lookout glass. This once again confirmed his previous guess. Most of the people's faces were clean and completely different from the refugees who had come and gone in the wind and rain. Their actions and expressions did not show any signs of being forced.

He no longer has to worry about killing innocent people by mistake.

Fish Ball aimed at the enemy at the front and pulled the trigger.

The teammates around him also chose this moment to fire.

Suddenly, the gunshots in the camp suddenly became louder, instantly covering up the other party's movements. The attacker at the front fell down in the blink of an eye, and the offensive momentum suddenly stalled. The surrounding enemies lay down one after another and fired back at the First Army. It was not known whether they had figured out such a confrontation method in the past battles or had been instructed by the devil. The situation then turned into a mutual shooting. .

While the two sides were in a stalemate, the enemy behind pushed several two-wheeled carts covered with cloth close to the front line.

Fish balls are no stranger to this kind of thing. Compared with horse-drawn carriages and mules, carts that rely on human power to push and pull are more suitable for ordinary people to use, especially when the family is moving and needs to carry a large amount of goods. He originally thought they were just props used by the enemy to hide their identities, but he didn't expect that even after they started charging, the enemy still didn't give up on these heavy carts.

It wasn't until he lifted the cover that Yuwan discovered that what was being hauled on the pallet was actually a Mark I heavy machine gun!

"Da da da--"

The rapid burst of fire immediately suppressed the firepower of the First Army, and the bullets it was equipped with had a tracer effect, and their accuracy was much better than that of a bolt-action rifle. The area in front of the camp seemed to be boiling, and the grassland full of wild flowers and mud were splashing everywhere. If there were not a camp to resist, I am afraid that this wave would make them lose the ability to fight back.

Fortunately, the enemy did not set up a machine gun position at the furthest distance, but threw it into the charge together. Now the machine guns were only about two hundred meters away from the defense line, and the First Army was spread out enough, giving them a chance to breathe.

"Hansen!" Yuwan shouted.

The latter made a clear gesture and ran towards the edge of the camp with his rifle in hand.

The First Army rarely encounters situations where its firepower is at a disadvantage. According to the regulations in the combat manual, once it is in an unfavorable situation of weak firepower, it should call in rear artillery for support as soon as possible, or specifically target the enemy's firepower points to carry out countermeasures. Obviously, the only action the rescue team can take at this time is to use efficient and precise sniping to deter the enemy's attack.

Taking advantage of the gap between machine gun reloading, Yuwan and his teammates raised their heads and fired fiercely, trying to attract the opponent's attention to themselves as much as possible. Hansen did not disappoint him, knocking the shooter on the cart to the ground with two shots. Subsequent people who wanted to climb onto the cart were also called out one by one.

Without the suppression of the machine gun, the enemy who took advantage of the opportunity to charge was beaten back by a round of fire before they could take ten steps, and the battle situation returned to the starting point.

…

"Damn it, why haven't these losers captured the camp yet?" Marvin looked up at the setting sun and stamped his feet impatiently. "Viscount Nannos, are your people too cowardly? They can't even take down a flank! If it's delayed until night, the Graycastle people will flee."

As commanders, they naturally don't have to rush to the front line like retinues and mercenaries. Moreover, these Graycastle people never pay attention to the rules of engagement of nobles. There is no such thing as deliberately keeping their hands and exchanging ransoms after being captured... none of it exists. They have long seen the attitude of the people of Graycastle towards the nobles. They will not get any honor or respect from leading a charge like in the past. They will only be beaten into a hornet's nest by being the first one.

"They have tried their best, and your people are not much better," Nanos said dissatisfied. "They are obviously the largest in number, but the front line is the furthest back. If your central troops can advance another hundred steps, the camp will It’s been taken long ago.”

"You-" Ma Weien was blocked and could not speak. He could only look at the front line, but he remembered this hatred in his heart.

When I become the King of Eternal Winter, I will definitely make you look good!

But the most important thing now is to win. Without victory, the Lord of the Sky will not look at him differently.

It's just that he doesn't understand why the situation has become so anxious?

Everything went as smoothly as planned. In order to prevent the Graycastle people from discovering the flaw, they did not choose to set up an ambush in the town, nor did they divide their routes to outflank the opponent in advance. In this valley, the strength and layout of both sides were clearly visible. He carefully considered any detail that might lead to exposure. As for those townspeople who might have leaked the news, he didn't let any of them go.

And the fact is that this is also the development. By the time the people of Graycastle noticed something strange, the distance between the two sides had shortened to hundreds of steps. With far more guns and more people than the opponent, the battle should be over soon, but why are they still unable to break into the camp despite the stalemate?

Even if the opponent has one gun per person, they only have about fifty guns, while the aristocratic coalition has as many as two hundred!

In Marvin's imagination, facing such ferocious firepower, the Graycastle people should have been so frightened that they collapsed.

But what he saw seemed to be the other way around.

The coalition forces were pinned on the hillside and could not move. Several charges were repulsed by intensive shooting. However, the counterattack organized by this side was painless. The attacks so far have not weakened the Graycastle people's defensive strength. It was as if the enemy had With three heads and six arms, it can control several muskets at the same time.

The repeating musket he had placed high hopes on before was even more ineffective. Not only did it fail to destroy the will of the Graycastle people, but it also swept away his own people during several charges. Looking from the foot of the hillside, I saw a circle of corpses lying around and in front of the several repeating muskets that were finally transported up. No one dared to touch them anymore.

If this continues, won't the bright future that I'm looking forward to come to nothing?

You must know that Yongdong cannot produce bullets. If he fails to seize enough ammunition in this battle, how will he have the chance to take a bite of Graycastle flesh in the next battle?

"Don't be impatient, sir," Fleur comforted. "According to my observation, the enemy's gunfire is much sparser than before, which shows that they have very little ammunition left. As long as we persist, we can use the best method to obtain Victory. After all, they only have muskets and we have everything.”

But then, it would be impossible to seize more bullets, Marvin thought bitterly. Forget it, you can ask the Lord of the Sky for the bullets later. The top priority is to completely annihilate this team of Graycastle people! He called a guard, "Send my order. The reward promised before will be doubled, and the first one to rush into the position will be rewarded with a hundred dragon coins!"
