As the impact point of the shelling slowly extended into the distance, a whistle sounded on the position. Infantrymen wearing chest plate armor and integrated steel helmets, holding wind guns, also jogged through the traffic trenches to reach their battle positions.
position, and began to shoot at the blocked cavalry.
At the same time, the crossfire caused by a large number of steam machine gun fire began to mow down the cavalry in the fire trap one by one.
Suddenly, the Dothraki commanders in front of the position who were trying to reorganize their formations were swept away one after another. Even when some commanders commanded their cavalry to try to open a new path of blood, potato mines, exploding cherry directional mines and those who had just been electrified
The barbed wire fence made their movement difficult.
At this time, the cavalry at the front were in chaos. Although they still had the will to fight, they had no idea how to fight back on this battlefield they had never seen before.
After seeing this situation, the Dothraki rear team began to take out bows and arrows from the side of the saddle to fight back. Unfortunately, this hasty and disproportionate design was not lethal to the armored soldiers hiding in the trenches.
Only a few unlucky ones had arrows in their limbs and were carried down along the traffic ditch. Soon, backup personnel took up their positions.
When the seventh round of heavy artillery fire again blasted a large number of blanks in the reserve formation behind the cavalry, some small khalasar cavalry had begun to hesitate. Taking this opportunity, the Lazarin infantry began to fire steam machine guns and small
Under the cover of caliber artillery, follow the sound of whistles and alternately move forward along the communication trenches into the trenches that were previously abandoned because they lured the enemy deeper. Bring more enemy troops into your killing range.
In their shooting, the enemies gathered in a group were peeled off layer by layer like an onion. Many of the small khalasar's cavalry finally couldn't bear it and began to flee backwards, although these deserters were quickly executed by Drogo's own cavalry.
, but the decline of the Dothraki has been revealed.
The cavalry behind them who tried to line up and provide cover with bows and arrows were quickly bombarded by artillery and were unable to maintain their formation.
Finally, the battlefield was shrouded in smoke and dust. Ryan and the others could only adjust the direction of firepower projection based on the approximate magic power perception of surface creatures when the rose crystal flew over the battlefield.
Suddenly, the Dothraki cavalry began to retreat slowly, as if they were unable to attack. However, Rose Crystal discovered that a large number of troops were gathering behind the cavalry line.
Is this a plan to retaliate? Ryan ordered the weakened firepower and artillery fire to move forward. At the same time, he contacted every field priest through the rose crystal and asked them to tell all soldiers to stay alert.
In this tense atmosphere, a new force of ten thousand people suddenly came out from the retreating cavalry. The leader was a burly man with long hair, bare arms, brandishing a sword and roaring. Regardless of his
Both the man and his horse are larger than other cavalrymen around him.
This man may be the leader of the Dothraki. Under his leadership, many disrupted cavalry also joined the charging team, setting off billowing smoke and dust on the ground.
At the whistle, the troops who had jumped out of the trenches on the way to the cavalry charge and pretended to pursue them jumped back into the trenches, and then began to push away like water on the two wings, revealing a large row of soldiers behind them who were waiting in the trenches.
Explosive cherry directional mines and several medium-caliber steam cannons loaded with shotshells.
When the cavalry charged, many arrows clanged against the gun mantlet, which made the artillerymen hiding behind feel extremely nervous. Many people's facial expressions were stiff and their hands and feet were numb. However, under the intimidation of the priests' roars and waving swords,
They all suppressed the urge to turn around and run away, and did not do anything impolite.
When this group of cavalry rushed to a place dozens of meters away from the position, dozens of flowers mixed with flesh and earth suddenly exploded in their formation. This was when Ryan felt that most of these cavalry entered through the frontline plants.
After the fire range is reached, the potato mines that directly awaken the cavalry are formed by the explosion.
These explosions also became signals. The soldiers on the front battlefield heard the screams of artillery shells coming from the other side of the river behind them, and then they 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.
"Grapnel, rapid fire, elevation angle 0, release!" Following the artillery commander's order, the small and medium-caliber steam cannons on the surrounding positions joined the firing. At the same time, the infantry officer also issued the same order.
The Lazarin position was like a volcano erupting. All weapons joined in the firing, trying their best to pour out as much firepower in a short period of time. Especially the steam machine guns and artillery on the flanks were in this situation.
Their fangs were revealed for the first time in the battle.
The cavalry galloping towards them seemed to have hit an invisible wall and fell down one after another. Countless blood sprays burst out from both the man and the horse. Especially the tall leader who was immediately targeted.
The target of the concentrated fire was hit by more than a dozen bullets and fell to the ground in an instant.
He was not the only cavalryman who fell. At the moment of firing, many soldiers in Lazarin's army felt that time seemed to slow down at that moment. Large areas of the cavalrymen in front of them fell to the ground, and then were killed by the rear troops.
The numerous hooves of the cavalry stepped over.
But the Lazarin soldiers did not have time to appreciate the strange beauty in front of them. Amid the officers' whistles and roars, they mechanically shot, loaded, and fired according to the steps of previous training. The cavalry in front of them also fell layer by layer.
Down.
As the soldiers' mentality slowly adjusted, the frequency of shooting became higher and higher. The smoke caused by the explosion on the battlefield and the white steam leaked from the steam cannon filled the entire battlefield, forming a smoke that could not be dispersed temporarily.
.This makes the approaching cavalry appear blurry like a monster in the shadows.
I don't know how long it took, but two short whistles came from the position. Only then did the soldiers break away from this mechanical shooting state, and under the command of the accompanying priest who was carrying the saber, he drew it out of the scabbard on his thigh.
The triangular bayonet was stuck on his gun. Then he detonated the directional mines installed in front of the bunker one after another at the cavalry who were getting closer and closer.
However, after the continuous explosions, there was no cavalry rushing up as expected. Only the faint noises coming from the fog could be heard. The soldiers could only watch the fog in front of them nervously and clenched their guns.
Finally, after waiting for a few minutes, the fog began to dissipate, revealing the empty battlefield in front of them. The corpses of men and horses were piled on top of each other and fell to the ground. Only a few seriously injured Dothraki groaned there.
In the distance, some fleeing cavalry turned into small black dots, and many steam robots coming from both wings were chasing soldiers carrying soldiers.
"This, is this a victory?" A Lazarin staff officer who saw this scene said in confusion. He felt that this victory was a bit incredible. Because he saw through the telescope that there were now more than 100,000 menacing people.
Most of the Dothraki cavalry have turned into corpses and covered the entire battlefield. The number of Dothraki cavalry who escaped scattered will not exceed 20,000, and it is still unclear how many people can escape under the pursuit of steam robots.
puzzle.
The total population of the Dothraki, including slaves, is about 300,000, and the nearly 100,000 troops here are equivalent to almost all of their young adults. Now it is basically certain that the backbone of this nation has been completely broken.
"They... are finished like this? Have the Dothraki 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 has ended like this.
"As far as I know, most of the troops on this land began to flee when their casualties reached 1/10, and the elite troops fled when their casualties reached 3/10. These Dothraki just suffered casualties of at least 7/10 when they fled.
.They are well-deserved elites, and they have not become weaker. It's just that times have changed, gentlemen." Ryan walked out from behind, and the staff raised their hands in a military salute to him. "Now let us cheer, we win.
