Chapter 896: Historical Changes
Teng~!
The Aoguo soldiers only saw a thing with a trail of white smoke flying out of the general's place and flying straight towards the Night Wolf army. It soon flew to the front of the Night Wolf cavalry, and then a flash of fire appeared. The sound spread slowly, and the soldiers heard a violent explosion after the flash of fire...
Boom! ! Without any cover, a team of elite warriors of the Night Wolf tribe were blown up and blood flew everywhere.
"Yeah! I love this damn rocket launcher! Shoot!"
The signal flare flew into the sky, and the first batch of soldiers who opened fire fired fiercely. The dense bullets left dense bullet marks and drilled into the Night Wolf cavalry. The horses and cavalry in front of them fell down one after another with blood mist bursting out of their bodies. The rockets exploded, the dense gunshots, and the battlefield was crackling with gunshots. The Aoguo soldiers fired a shot and pulled the bolt to push the shell and load the bullet. After firing five bullets, they quickly took out the bullets and pressed the bullets into the bolt. The second batch fired at this time to keep the firepower uninterrupted.
The Night Wolf tribe was in chaos. It was not a question of whether the cavalry was afraid of death or not. The war horses were frightened by the explosions and the dense gunfire and went crazy and out of control. No matter how they were driven, they refused to rush forward and ran back. The entire Night Wolf army was in chaos in the valley.
It was a one-sided massacre. The soldiers only needed to pull the bolt and shoot. When they ran out of bullets, they continued to reload. The cavalry with only scimitars and shields could not stop the coming of death...
At such a close distance, the rifle bullet penetrated the shield like a thin wooden board. Once the war horse stopped running and charging, it could only face the rifle shooting. Wang Er stood on a high place and fired all the rockets in a row. He immediately operated the Barrett to aim at the pot-bellied Night Wolf noble under the flag of the cavalry. Dust flew under the muzzle, and the sniper bullet flew out in a rotation, and then hit the noble and broke him in the middle by luck!
The Night Wolf tribe was too confident. They all rushed to the open valley in a swarm and had no time to turn around. If they were more cautious, they would not have suffered such heavy casualties.
The army after the classic industrial revolution officially fought against the most powerful nomadic people in the feudal era. The cavalry that had been in power for countless years officially bid farewell to its once powerful status and entered a state of decline. The emergence of firearms, especially the bolt-action rifle, accelerated the course of history. History entered a turning point on this day. Not only those sensitive people could see it, but all the soldiers present could see it. When they killed the once powerful cavalry with an ordinary rifle and shot them continuously, the feeling of being proud made the soldiers excited and crazy.
Some elite warriors of the Night Wolf tribe flushed and rushed forward with scimitars in their hands, but unfortunately, the hot blood and anger could not stop the bullets. The angry and irritable Night Wolf warriors died with their eyes open after being shot. They did not understand why the lambs of the past were being slaughtered now, and their dignity was trampled by those lambs...
Two flares flew into the sky, and new orders were issued.
The Aoguo soldiers fired their rifles and marched forward in formation. The entire army blocked the Night Wolf cavalry in the valley in a fan shape. The leader died, the warhorse went crazy, and the sound of bullets piercing the air was everywhere. The remaining Night Wolf cavalry could only dismount and gather together, but unfortunately they died faster this way. The Aoguo soldiers lined up in formation and walked forward slowly while firing. This was trained long ago. The best tactic for facing a cold weapon army was to line up and shoot in an orderly manner.
When they reached the place where corpses were scattered all over the ground, the bayonets on the rifles of the Aoguo soldiers stabbed into the bodies of the Night Wolf soldiers who were not yet dead. They did not need strength or fighting skills, but only needed to stab the seriously injured Night Wolf soldiers.
The slaughter of three thousand fierce cavalrymen by two thousand infantrymen was something that people in the past could not imagine at all, but now it has been easily achieved after the Industrial Revolution.
Less than a thousand Night Wolf soldiers retreated to the hillside, leaving corpses all over the ground as they retreated. No matter whether they were charging desperately or using various tactics, it was useless. The Aoguo soldiers just stayed away from the bow and arrow range and shot. If you can't hit me, I can hit you. If I can't kill you, I can make you angry. There are enough bullets and you can practice shooting. Why not?
Wang Er, who felt sorry for Barrett's special bullets, took a rifle from his men and followed behind to shoot at the Night Wolf soldiers on the hillside.
It was easier to fight on the hillside because the area was larger. This massacre was like a feast, a feast of the army slaughtering the cold weapon army after the Industrial Revolution. The Aoguo soldiers found that fighting could be so simple...
Massacre, crazy massacre. On the battlefield, the Aoguo soldiers kept stabbing the bayonets into the hearts of the injured and still alive Night Wolf soldiers, ignoring their pleas and screams. The Night Wolf tribe looted and robbed a lot of food and women countless times. Now they can't fight but want to beg for mercy and live? When those women begged bitterly, would they let those women go? Revenge! What we need to do is to drive bayonets into the hearts of these evil people who only know how to plunder! Watch them wail and die miserably!
Wang Er received a victory report from another main battlefield. Just like here, it was also a one-sided massacre. After all, the gap in weapons was too big. No matter how many cavalrymen armed with cold weapons there were, they could not defeat the rifle army that set up defenses in the mountains, especially since there were several artillery pieces deployed there. How could the war horses continue to rush forward with the deafening sound of the artillery?
"Notify them, keep the living war horses, eat the dead ones, and clean up the battlefield and prepare for rest."
"Yes!"
The messenger went to deliver the order. Wang Er found a wooden block to sit on and smoke a cigar. In order to prevent the Night Wolf Clan from retaliating, the army had to guard here for a while. It was estimated that a fortress would be built in this area soon. From then on, the Night Wolf Clan's army's looting of Aoguo would become a passage in history books. If things go wrong, Aoguo would send troops to wreak havoc on the Night Wolf Clan. After all, no one could stand robbing food and women.
At the end of the battle, except for a few Night Wolf cavalrymen who saw the opportunity and escaped, the rest were all killed in the battle, and only a few unlucky people in the Aoguo army were chopped by the Night Wolf Clan cavalrymen who pretended to be dead. It was a complete victory.
The army then set up a camp on a high ground with a water source in an open valley and removed the scouts and alerts. They began to eat and rest. The happy soldiers held their rifles as if they were holding their new brides.
The news quickly spread back to various cities in Aoguo. Aoguo celebrated throughout the country, and rifles in various factories sold well.
When the news reached the ears of the dignitaries of the surrounding countries, their first feeling was that it was impossible. Could the 50,000 or so Night Wolf cavalry and the 20,000 Aoguo army win? According to the previous combat ratio, if you want to deal with 50,000 Night Wolf Cavalry, you need at least 150,000 troops to defeat them. But suddenly, it was heard that 20,000 people defeated 50,000 people. The most outrageous thing is that it is said that the wounded of Ao State are less than 500. What's going on?
Many people keenly felt that the situation in the northern part of Shenwu Continent was about to change. What they didn't know was that the situation in the western coastal area south of the mountains of Shenwu Continent had already changed.
