Chapter 894: Wang Er Leads the Troops to Battle

The emperor generously let Wang Er serve as the commander of a 2,000-man army. So, Wang Er, holding Barrett and leading the rifle team, went to war. Before leaving, Tiejia gave him an iron egg, saying that it was a mechanical mantis that could protect Wang Er. Wang Er didn't care but still carried it with him as a mascot.

The Night Wolf Tribe is estimated to dispatch more than 50,000 cavalry, and Aoguo only sent 20,000 rifle troops. The small number shocked the scouts of various countries. You must know that in the past, the army that dealt with the Night Wolf Tribe was not ten times the local army. In addition, it carried ten artillery pieces. The army rushed to the border between Aoguo and Gusu Grassland to prepare for the battle.

In the era of cold weapons, the combat effectiveness of nomadic peoples was off the charts. A horse riding and a roar swept the world. The Shenwu Continent was no exception, except for those monks. If the Night Wolf Clan was not bad at living in the mountains, they would have swept the surrounding countries long ago. There were no monks participating in this expedition. The tribes of the Night Wolf Clan did not take Aoguo seriously at all. Even the muskets were not good. They had to pour gunpowder into the gun sand after firing a shot. When the reloading was finished, the war horses were in front of them. They didn't know that the musket technology had been improved again and had a powerful lethality. Five rounds were loaded and one shot was fired once. The speed was greatly accelerated. One hundred soldiers fired 500 rounds of bullets in a row. If they didn't pay attention, they would suffer sooner or later.

Originally, Wang Er meant to take off the light armor and fight purely in cloth clothes. Maybe the army's armor thinking was still there and did not adopt this suggestion. It was very tiring to walk along the way.

A few days later, the army arrived at the border and came to the area where the Night Wolf Clan often entered and exited Aoguo, and began to deploy defenses.

Wang Er led his two thousand soldiers to guard an open valley. The valley was open and rolling logs and stones was not effective. The Night Wolf cavalry even used this place as a passage to go back and forth. The first thing Wang Er did after he arrived was to order trenches to be dug in the valley. Don't get me wrong, he didn't plan to use trenches to shoot, but to use trenches to block the running speed of war horses. In addition, there were a lot of chevaux de frise, etc., which made the open valley full of them.

"The cavalry, including the people and horses, should be very easy to be shot..."

On the top of the mountain, Wang Er stood on a high place and looked at the open valley with a telescope. He arranged his troops on the low hillside. The valley was not wide, and the bullets could completely cover the entire valley, but the accuracy might be lacking. With two thousand soldiers using rifles, Wang Er had the courage to challenge the opponent's ten thousand cavalry alone, and he also had a cannon man here. Not only did he have a cannon, but he also brought a few RPG rocket launchers and several rockets when he came. This thing is the favorite of African black uncles. It is simple, rough and easy to operate. Wang Er also likes it very much. On the contrary, he looks down on those high-tech rocket launchers. This thing is good.

"General, the Night Wolf army is still ten miles away from us! About three thousand people!" The scout reported to Wang Er.

The word "general" made Wang Er feel proud. Look, it's good to follow the monsters. He used to be nothing more than a bachelor who hunted. Look at him now, a fashionable man, a gun man, a general, alas... people can't be too proud.

"Notify them to act according to my signal flares. Everyone must be brave enough to live up to the guns in their hands. Tell the brothers that there are enough bullets, and fight to death!"

"Yes!"

Several men ran back to their respective teams. Wang Er took a puff of the cigar and blew out smoke rings. His worried eyes were particularly charming.

Soon, two thousand soldiers lined up on the hillside. The front row lay on the ground, the second row squatted, and the third row stood. The shining bayonets were already installed, and the soldiers were loading bullets into the guns. These were veterans who used old-fashioned gunpowder. Shooting was not a problem after training. They just needed to wait for the opponent to rush up and shoot. They didn't need to hit the head or the neck. They didn't need sniper-like precision. They just needed to hit the opponent. The effect of hitting the stomach was the same as that of hitting the head.

Wang Er took out his Barrett, and after a simple maintenance, he began to load bullets into the magazine, while loading bullets and playing a little song he heard from somewhere.

"General, those Night Wolf spies have seen us." A subordinate said to Wang Er.

"It's good to see them, so they will rush over and want to kill us. We are not afraid of them seeing us. All the friendly forces are going to the battlefield to fight. Let's kill two salted fish here to start the fight and let them taste the new rifle."

After assembling the guns in a few quick moves, Wang Er sat in front of a huge rock and set up the tripod to test the wind direction. It was okay. There was no wind today. After getting ready, Wang Er took out the bacon from his backpack and lay in the grass, looking at the sky and eating bacon. He was not in a hurry for the upcoming battle. No matter how fierce the Night Wolf Clan was, could it be more fierce than those four huge perverts? They were not on the same level at all.

Just as Wang Er was lying down and feeling the smell of bacon in the sky, his subordinates told Wang Er another piece of news that surprised him.

"What? Ten Night Wolf Clan cavalrymen rushed over in a show of force? They grew up eating grass?" Wang Er felt very strange about this news. Ten cavalrymen were going to sweep away two thousand people?

His subordinates blushed and nodded.

"Do they think they are those four perverts..." Wang Er muttered.

"General, what did you say four?"

"Oh, nothing. Can you tell me why those ten robbers dared to rush towards us? They don't have the guts to be so arrogant, right?" Wang Er asked his subordinates. The embarrassed look on his face was a little strange.

"Well... Actually it's like this..."

After his subordinates talked for a long time, Wang Er finally understood what was going on. The Night Wolf tribe was fierce and ferocious because of their living habits. They were the type who would draw their knives when drunk, and they had bad tempers and cruel personalities. As time went on, several nearby countries treated the Night Wolf tribe members as ferocious and fled at the first sign of trouble. Every time, these ferocious people could rob a large amount of supplies and women and bring them back to the grassland. The armies of various countries were originally fighting against them, but somehow the literary style prevailed in the surrounding countries and the status of the army declined, making the soldiers' combat effectiveness low and unable to fight against the Night Wolf cavalry.

Once, a group of seven or eight Night Wolf cavalrymen actually chased a thousand-man team of a certain country for more than ten miles. Good news doesn't go out, but bad news spreads a thousand miles. This incident was known to everyone in the surrounding countries, and from then on, ordinary soldiers of various countries became afraid of the Night Wolf tribe members.

A thousand people could kill the ten cavalrymen with just their hands, but the general's reason at that time was that the other party was good at riding and shooting and ran away after shooting, and his bows and arrows were not as good as theirs and could not be hit.

Wang Er's contemptuous look was almost real. It was a wonder that a thousand men were chased by ten cavalrymen and became famous for generations. The fundamental reason was that they were afraid of death and dared not fight. No wonder they let others rob them for no reason. They were just giving them food, silver and women. What a coward!

"All of you take a break and see how I deal with their backward and barbaric bows and arrows. This is a greeting from the industrial world." Wang Er said a classic motto and set up the Barrett. If they don't see how powerful Wang Er is, they will be in trouble!
