Chapter two hundred and ninety first decisive battle

As the impact of the shelling slowly spread farther, a whistle sounded from the position. The infantrymen, wearing breastplate armor and one-piece steel helmets and holding wind guns, also trotted through the traffic trenches to reach their combat positions, and began to shoot at the cavalry who were obstructed.

At the same time, the cross-fire formed by a large number of steam machine guns began to sweep down the cavalry who were in the fire trap one by one.

Immediately, the Dothraki commanders who were trying to reorganize the formation in front of the position were swept away. Even when some commanders directed their cavalry to try to re-open a bloody path, potato mines, exploding cherry directional mines and just powered on. The barbed wire made their movement difficult.

At this time, the cavalry at the forefront was already in chaos, although they still had the will to fight. But this kind of battlefield that they have never seen before makes them not know how to fight back.

The Dothraki's rear team saw this situation and began to take out bows and arrows from the saddle to fight back. Unfortunately, this hurried and unscaled design was not lethal to the soldiers with armor in hiding in the trenches. big. Only a few unlucky bastards with arrows in their limbs were carried down the traffic ditch. Reserves soon filled their places.

When the seventh round of heavy artillery fire once again blew out a lot of blanks in the formation of the reserve troops behind the cavalry, some of the cavalry of the little Karratha had already begun to hesitate. Taking this opportunity, the infantry of the Lazarin Army, under the cover of steam machine guns and small-caliber artillery, alternately moved forward along the traffic trench according to the sound of the whistle and entered the trenches that had been abandoned because of lures the enemy to go deeper. Incorporate more enemy troops into your kill range.

In their swarms, clumps of enemies are peeled off layer by layer like an onion. Many of the cavalry of the young Kharaza finally couldn't bear it and started to flee backwards. Although these deserters were soon executed by Drogo's main cavalry, the Dothraki's decline had already been revealed.

And the cavalry who tried to line up with bows and arrows to provide cover were quickly bombarded by artillery pieces, unable to maintain their formation at all.

Finally, the battlefield was shrouded in smoke. Ryan and the others can only adjust the direction of fire projection based on the approximate magic perception of the surface creatures when the rose crystal is flying over the battlefield.

Suddenly, the Dothraki cavalry began to retreat slowly, as if they were powerless to attack. But Rose Crystal found a large army gathering behind the cavalry line.

Is this going to go back and forth with the carbine? Ryan ordered the reduced firepower to move forward, and at the same time contacted each battlefield priest through the rose crystal. Let them tell all warriors to stay alert.

In this atmosphere of slack on the outside and tightness on the inside, a new force of ten thousand people suddenly came out from the retreating cavalry, led by a burly man with long hair and a shirtless wielding a big knife and roaring. Both his man and his horse were a lap larger than the other cavalry around.

This person may be the leader of the Dothraki people. Under his leadership, many disrupted cavalrymen also joined the charging team, causing billowing smoke and dust on the ground.

At the whistle, the troops who jumped out of the trenches before the cavalry charged on the road pretending to be chasing jumped back into the trenches, and then began to push away like water on the flanks, revealing a large line of soldiers in the trenches behind them. Explosive cherry directional mines and several medium-caliber steam cannons loaded with cannonballs.

When the cavalry charged, many arrows clacked on the gun mantlet, making the artillerymen hiding behind feel extremely nervous. Many people had stiff facial expressions and numbness in their hands and feet. However, under the roar of the priests and the threat of waving war knives, they all suppressed the urge to turn their heads and run away, and did not make a gaffe.

When the group of cavalry rushed to a place dozens of meters away from the position, dozens of flowers mixed with flesh and soil suddenly exploded in their formation. This was caused by the explosion of the potato mines that directly awakened those cavalrymen after he felt that most of the cavalry had entered the fire range through the frontline plants.

These explosions also became signals,

The soldiers on the frontal battlefield heard the screeching of artillery shells coming from the other side of the river behind them, and then exploded behind the cavalry.

At the same time, the officers in the rear also began to wave the small flags in their hands, and then a long whistle sounded.

Shot shot, rapid fire, elevation angle 0, release! With the order of the artillery commander, the small and medium-caliber steam cannons on the surrounding positions joined the firing ranks. At the same time, the infantry officer also issued the same order.

The Lazarin's position was like a volcanic eruption, and all weapons were added to the launch, pouring out as much firepower as possible in a short period of time. Especially those steam machine guns and artillery on the flanks showed their fangs for the first time in this battle.

The cavalry rushing towards him seemed to have collided with an invisible wall and fell down one after another, and countless blood flowers burst out from both the man and the horse. In particular, the tall leader became the target of the fire at the first moment, and he fell to the ground with a dozen bullets in an instant.

He wasn't the only cavalry to fall, the moment he opened fire. Many soldiers in Lazarin's army felt that time seemed to slow down at that moment. The cavalry in front of them fell to the ground in large swaths, and then they were trampled by countless hooves of the cavalry in the rear.

But the Lazarin soldiers didn't have time to appreciate the eerie beauty in front of them. In the whistles and roars of the officers, they mechanically fired, loaded, and fired according to the previous training steps, and the cavalry in front of them also fell down layer by layer.

As the soldiers' mentality slowly adjusted, the frequency of shooting became higher and higher. The smoke and dust formed by the explosion on the battlefield and the white steam leaked from the steam artillery permeated the entire battlefield, forming a smoke that could not be dissipated temporarily. . This made the approaching cavalry appear indistinct like monsters in the shadows.

After an unknown amount of time, two short whistles came from the position. Only then did the soldiers break free from this mechanical shooting state, and under the command of the accompanying priest with the saber, they took out the three-edged bayonet from the scabbard of their thigh and stuck it on their guns. Afterwards, the directional mines installed in front of the bunker were detonated one by one to the approaching cavalry.

However, after the continuous explosions, there was no cavalry as imagined to charge up, and only a faint noise could be heard in the fog. The soldiers could only stare nervously at the mist in front of them, clenching the guns in their hands.

Finally, after waiting for a few minutes, the fog began to dissipate, revealing the empty battlefield in front of him. The corpses of humans and horses fell on top of each other, and only a few badly wounded Dothraki groaned. In the distance, some of the fleeing cavalry became small black dots, and many steam robots from the two wings were chasing and killing soldiers carrying soldiers.

This, this is the victory? A Lazarin staff member who saw this scene muttered in confusion. He felt a little incredible about this victory. Because he saw through the binoculars that most of the nearly 100,000 Dothraki cavalrymen who were now menacing had turned into corpses and covered the entire battlefield. Exactly how many people can escape from the pursuit of steam robots is still a mystery.

The total population of the Dothraki, including slaves, is about 300,000, and the army of nearly 100,000 here is equivalent to almost all of their young adults. It is now almost certain that the backbone of this nation has been completely broken.

They... that's the end of it? Could it be that the Dothraki have become weaker? Another staff officer who was a freed slave also exclaimed. He still remembered how his fortress was easily breached by these barbarians. , so I really can't believe that a powerful nation that has dominated for hundreds of years is over like this.

As far as I know, most of the troops on this land fled when the casualty reached 1/10, and the elite troops fled when the casualty reached 3/10. The Dothraki lost at least 7/10 casualties when they fled just now. They are well-deserved elites, and they haven't become weaker. It's just that times have changed, gentlemen. Ryan walked out from behind, and the staff members raised their hands to salute him. Let's rejoice now that we have defeated the mightiest cavalry in the known world.
