Chapter 753 It's Began

Using drones for remote observation, Battalion Commander Bob did find an army approaching from the direction of Yangquan City.

"It seems that the people from Yangquan City have indeed detected us. Well, maybe our movement is a bit loud." Bob smiled, not very worried.

Yangquan City is backed by the Jianfeng Mountain Range, facing an endless plain to the east, and a hilly landform with shrubs and broad-leaved forests to the north.

And Bob's reinforced battalion appeared in the due east, and it was still a place with relatively high terrain. Theoretically speaking, the direction of Yangquan City may indeed find his own team.

Because there are a lot of people in the reinforced battalion, there are three infantry companies, one artillery company, one tank company, as well as a guard platoon, a combat platoon of awakened supernatural beings, a communication platoon, a medical platoon, and a logistics platoon. If all these personnel are counted, Major Bob's reinforced battalion has nearly 800 people.

The artillery battery is equipped with twelve M109 self-propelled artillery, equipped with 155 mm caliber howitzers.

The tank company is also equipped with fourteen M1A2 main station tanks.

In modern warfare, the traditional combat system of divisions, regiments and battalions has been gradually eliminated, and now all countries are beginning to implement the combat system of three-level units of military, brigade and battalion.

These 800 people camped tens of kilometers away from Yangquan City. Logically speaking, Yangquan City should not be visible. After all, they don't have modern observation equipment, they may not even have a telescope.

Looking at a city as big as Yangquan City from my side, it feels like seeing a small black frame. Could it be that there is too much smoke and dust because of the construction on my side?

Speaking of smoke and dust, the smoke and dust raised by the army coming out of Yangquan is really big.

"They dispatched cavalry. According to the drone's observation, there should be at least 3,000 cavalry." Through the drone's lens, Bob could clearly see every move of troops dispatched from Yangquan City dozens of kilometers away.

"Yangquan City dispatches troops very quickly. Are they coming for us?" Franky also leaned in front of the screen to look at the picture of three thousand cavalry. Although it looked shocking, Franky wasn't worried at all.

At the time, the Indians also had thousands of cavalry charging, but they would all be beaten to pieces by the first-generation Gatling machine gun invented in the 19th century. What's more, what about the modern army that is now equipped with stronger Browning heavy machine guns and even Gatling Vulcan cannons?

Major Bob nodded: "Judging from the judgment, it should be directed at us. But it's really strange, their horses are running at full speed."

"Run at full speed?"

"Yes, when a soldier is loaded, these soldiers are still wearing armor and holding weapons, and the horse is still equipped with a vest. With such a high load, the horse is running at a speed of 35 kilometers per hour, which is running at full speed."

"How did you calculate this speed?"

"Drones have range finders."

"Is this fast? Shouldn't cavalry be like this?" Franky didn't know where to stand, and his understanding of ancient warfare was limited to Hollywood blockbusters.

In that kind of large-scale cavalry battle, two groups of men and horses stand still, and then whistle and the two groups of people hedge against each other, and it's over. What you want is a big scene, what you want is shock, as for the similarity to a real war? Come on, which directors and studios care?

Facing Xiaobai in the war, Bob had to explain: "Cavalry only enters the state of full-speed charge at the last 100 meters. Otherwise, the physical strength of the horse cannot keep up. The horses in this world are very strange, and their endurance seems to be amazing. Well, I've been running at full speed for more than ten minutes, and I don't seem tired."

"Wow, you can run like this with such a heavy armor on your back, and you have such endurance. Doesn't that mean that you will be a champion stallion-horse when you return to Earth?! Major Bob will help me catch a horse like this later. I owe you a favor." Franky wondered if he had such a champion stallion, would he shine in the Marseilles and make a lot of money?

But Major Bob didn't listen to what Frankie said, he felt that these cavalry were weird.

Of course it's weird, others don't know it, but Wu Tiande knows it.

These cavalry are the strongest guard force in Yangquan City, the Blade Knights. Outside Yangquan City, there is a Jianfeng Academy at the foot of Jianfeng Mountain. Even Wu Tiande studied and practiced martial arts in it for several years.

Wu Tiande never brags. After returning to Earth, he never brags like other returnees about how strong he is in another world, and he is the strongest in the world.

Wu Tiande has always expressed modestly that he is at an average level in another world, neither high nor low, neither good nor bad. It is because of his non-bragging and low-key personality that many people think that what he said about his alien situation is basically true.

In Wu Tiande's description, the alien world he is in is neither very strong nor very weak, and the level of martial arts is average. Resources are relatively abundant, neither particularly poor nor particularly rich. There are strong ones, not many, not few. In short, the alien world he is in has always felt ordinary.

Sometimes what people want to know is not necessarily the considerable truth, but a "truth that they want to know" that they want to know.

But what is the real situation? Only Wu Tiande himself knows.

"Enter combat readiness!" Major Bob issued a combat command. Although my opponents are a group of primitive people riding horses with cold weapons, but I am a soldier, and I must maintain my combat quality.

The combat battalion was busy up and down, and everyone was in a state of combat readiness in an orderly manner. Through the positioning of the drone and the artillery radar, the self-propelled artillery has adjusted its firing angle.

The M1A2 tank has all combat personnel in place and entered the combat state.

The three infantry companies also entered the temporary fortifications they had just built.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

On the side of the Blade Knights, in fact, someone has already discovered the drone flying in the sky. Ah Zhong, the guard of the vanguard officer of the knight order, steered the horse to run slowly, and at the same time said to the vanguard officer Li Lie: "Hey, head. Don't you think there is something buzzing above our heads? Buzzing. I started I thought it was some kind of bird flying above our heads. I don’t think it looks like it. There is a small black spot that has been following our heads.”

Pioneer officer Li Lie looked up, the drone was flying very high, more than 800 meters high. It's just an inconspicuous little black spot in the sky. Li Lie snorted coldly: "If it's a bird or not, you'll know when you shoot it." After speaking, he took off the longbow he was carrying behind him while riding.

Frankie and Major Bob, who were 20 kilometers away, saw Li Lie's behavior through the magnified lens of the drone.

"Hey, isn't he stupid. This drone flew 800 meters high. He is going to shoot it down with a bow and arrow? Huh...ah?!" Originally, Franky wanted to laugh at the primitiveness of primitive people, but the next For a moment, his throat seemed to be stuck by something, and the original ridicule lost his voice.

Because of a flash of cold light, the drone in the sky was pierced by Li Lie with an arrow, and it disintegrated directly in the air.

At a flying height of 800 meters, the opponent shoots arrows from bottom to top while riding, and hits a drone with one arrow? ! Fuck! Apart from this adjective, Frankie couldn't find any other words to express his current inner feelings.

And Bob's face was a little darker at this time, but because of his racial talent, others couldn't see it.

On the other hand, Ah Zhong left the team and picked up the drone that Li Lie shot down from the sky and handed it to Li Jie: "Head, that's it."

"Can an iron lump fly in the sky? It's not a kite. What kind of thing is this?" Ah Zhong rode his horse curiously and followed Li Lie while evaluating this flying iron thing.

"No matter what it is. Mister sensed the invasion of foreign evil spirits today. It seems that the mister's perception is good. Hey, it's been a long time since I had a good fight. Brothers, don't ride slowly. Speed ​​up a little bit, and I will make the foreign evil spirits look good today !"

"good!"

The combat battalion dispatched a second reconnaissance drone immediately after the drone crashed, and within a short while, Bob found that the opponent's speed had become faster, and he was already very close to his side.

"Their cavalry is running at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour! And it has been running for nearly 20 minutes since the beginning! It is now 10 kilometers away from our position!" Bob remained calm until this time. Running fast is just a special horse, but the gap in fighting a modern army cannot be made up by some fast horses.

"The artillery battery aimed at the target and fired three times."

Bob's order was conveyed, and the twelve m109 self-propelled artillery that had been prepared over there had already adjusted their firing angles.

bump~ bump~ bump~

Twelve 155mm caliber howitzers let out the roar of war.

This is the first large-scale formal contact between people on Earth and another world, and the gift is a 155mm caliber howitzer. When the shells hit the ground, there was a whole day of roaring and huge clouds of fire and smoke. The sound of shelling can be clearly heard even at positions ten kilometers away.

"How can flesh and blood block the shells. It's a pity for my war horse." Frankie sighed.

Three thousand cavalry looks like a lot, but it's really nothing in front of modern artillery. In particular, the queue of cavalry riding is very dense, and a shot with a diameter of 30 meters will definitely cause death and injury without counting.

This group of primitive people who could be hit by thirty-six shells was directly killed and injured after three consecutive shots. Even if there were a few alive, they would probably be frightened and frantic.

Max, a soldier in the frontline fortification, looked at the huge smoke and dust rising ten kilometers away. He smacked his lips and said to his colleagues next door in boredom: "The war of bullying primitive people is really boring. They are not as powerful as those organizations in the Middle East. At least those organizations have guns and RPGs, right? I heard that these people seem to come on horseback? Hey, they’re still cavalry.”

The soldier next door to Max also put away the gun he was driving. He also felt that this war was just like playing house, so he said to Max: "Give me a cigarette."

"No." Max handed him a cigarette, and the two of them didn't bother to look at the frontline positions, so they simply leaned on the fortifications to smoke and chat. Chatting about various things, celebrity gossip and gossip in the army, the two had a great time chatting.

"Wait, did you feel the earthquake?" the colleague asked Max.

"Huh?" Max felt a slight tremor on the ground. That kind of tremor is not an earthquake, but it feels like tens of thousands of people are running neatly and fast, causing the earth to resonate.

Max stuck his head out of the fortification, and he saw an incredible scene. The artillery fire had just stopped, and Bob asked the artillery to assess the opponent's casualties again.

As the smoke cleared, thousands of cavalry in black armor, black helmets, and bright silver guns were galloping towards the position on their horses. They are so fast! With a speed of almost one hundred and sixty kilometers per hour, the current Blade Knights are truly running with all their might.

They formed an arrow-like charge formation, and a bright white sword edge outside the formation enveloped the entire knight group.

And above the Knights, a huge phantom has begun to slowly condense into substance.

Wu Tiande watched from a distance, he knew the treasure of the Sword Edge Knights: the Sword Edge Knights were about to condense and appear.

Frankie looked at everything in front of him in disbelief: "What's going on?! How can it be that even shells can't kill them!"

And what surprised him even more was still behind.

The treasures of the Sword Edge Knights were successfully condensed, and a golden giant rushed forward riding a white horse with a sharp sword in his hand.

At this moment, the ground it stepped on seemed to be split open. The air is torn apart where its blade swings.

Although he didn't know what it was, Bob already knew that the world was not as simple as he imagined. He issued the most simple and direct order: "Fire! Kill them!"

The wheels of war began their turning inexorably.
