Chapter three hundred and seventieth horror tree man
In addition to panic, many soldiers who threw their guns at the scene were even panic. The most common ones were natives who ran around like headless flies or simply threw the guns to the ground, and then trembled and panic to bow to the giant tree.
With the Indian Servant Army.
It would be reasonable to say that the indigenous people feared this huge tree man because of the totem beliefs transformed by all things in the native African countries.
However, those Indian minions who came from across the ocean would also behave like this, so we have to talk about the reasons for the traditional religious beliefs in India.
Speaking of the four ancient civilizations, the belief systems are actually relatively complex, but as representatives of polytheistic beliefs, Middle-earth civilization and Indian civilization are the two with the most complex god systems.
Especially the Indian civilization, which has been conquered by many civilizations one after another, is so complicated that its divine system can collapse beginners.
Various historical reasons have led to many sects in India. In addition to being unified as Brahmanism, there are also various branches of various religions such as Buddhism, Star Moonism, Sikhism, etc. It can be said that a region is a religion.
Even every village or town, the sects they believe in are completely different.
This also led to Indians paying great attention to religion and have integrated into all aspects of their lives with the caste system.
Therefore, when seeing such a terrifying monster comparable to a god, these servants could not resist. They became too afraid to surrender and believe in it. It was not surprising that they knelt on the ground and knocked on the spot.
In the fight against the army, the only one who can maintain a certain degree of rationality is Colonel Henry and a few officers on the command center, as well as some elite soldiers from the five hundred British troops. Of course, there is also a well-informed expedition team.
Among the soldiers, they are bold and careful artillery soldiers and machine gunners who like to release metal storms when encountering problems. These soldiers are used to life and death, and they are trained more strictly than ordinary soldiers. In other words, they have been attacked for a long time.
If the enemy's shells explode in their ears, they can calm down and continue to load. This is the best artillery.
Of course, these people can't do the same thing as sacrificing their lives, but in the face of the terrifying monsters dispatched by the enemy, these artillery and machine gunners also had a feeling of not admitting defeat from the bottom of their hearts.
So there were several metal storms and rapid-fire shells on the battlefield, attacking the treeman monster in the middle.
Puff puff puff puff... Buff buff...
At present, humans' relatively top lethal thermal weapons are difficult to play a decisive effect when facing extraordinary monsters of this level.
Although thousands of machine gun bullets can tear up all flesh and blood that blocks the way, when hitting the tree man, it only makes wood chips fly. For huge tree man who is dozens of meters tall, it can cause damage at most.
Some epidermis do not harm their body at all.
The pounding cannon can explode shallow pits on the tree man, but compared to the giant's huge size, that little damage is a drop in the bucket.
I guess I just knocked out all the shells, and at most I would just smash a few thinner branches of the tree man.
When Colonel Henry saw this result, a cold air suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, but he did not show it at all, and still shouted with a ferocious look:
"I don't believe that I can't kill it. I'll put the mortar up and fire it at the monster's legs."
The tree man, dozens of meters tall, came from the core of the unexpected cannibal tribe two kilometers. Even compared to animals, the tree man, as a plant, had to move slower, and could not take dozens of steps to come to the siege position. Now he has left. Half the distance, Colonel Henry understood that with their legs and feet, they could not escape the pursuit of the treemen, so he simply broke the cannon and saw if the treemen came first to trample them to death, or their artillery fire was strong!
The two mortars, originally brought as reserve weapons, were prepared for any incidents, became life-saving straw for the siege army.
But one of the artillery soldiers didn't know if they were nervous or what. They failed to load ammunition twice, and the more anxious they were, the more wrong they were. The captain of the artillery platoon could not bear it and kicked the guy down, filled the shells himself, and then calibrated them. Direction, shouting slogans.
Whoosh!
Two 3-inch (76.2 mm) caliber mortar shells hit the target separately. This is not because of the high artillery technology of operation. The mortar is not known for its shooting accuracy, but because The target of the tree man opposite is too large, and he can sweep it with a rifle bullet two kilometers away, let alone a mortar.
The crusade army brought the first mortar in Britain, the Stokes mortar that was put into use in 1917. After the end of World War I, the British funds for military use were greatly reduced. The gun continued to be used for many years without any improvement. .I know that a new version will be developed in 1930. The caliber is still unchanged, but there is a gap in the battlefield compared to the German heavy mortars of 100mm or even 120mm.
However, for humans, the 72mm shell is still a deadly weapon that will die when it is wiped and will die when it is next to it.
Two shells hit the middle and upper part of the tree man's left leg and the calf of the right leg. The former exploded a hole the size of a car when the tree man's thigh was thick, but because the tree man's thigh was as thick as a residential building, this Pointing a wound does not affect the other party's actions.
Although the shell that exploded in the calf did not hit the front, it exploded in the calf of the tree man, but it just tore the "big tendons" of the twisted tree roots that formed the support force of the calf.
He lost the support of his right leg and calf. The tree man suddenly failed to stand firm next time. The huge weight broke one-third of the calf that injured one-third of the calf on the spot. The whole tree man pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar, just like a tall building. It collapsed and fell diagonally towards the front right.
Rumble...
The fallen treemen stirred up dust in the sky, crushed countless shacks, and killed more than a hundred indigenous people who had no time to escape.
Just when the crusade soldiers thought they had finally defeated the monster and started cheering, they saw that the tree man actually supported the ground with his hands and crawled towards the crusade positions hundreds of meters away like wild animals.
The cheers came to an abrupt end, and the officers immediately panicked and anxiously urged the artillery to continue. Colonel Henry, the supreme commander of the army, frowned deeply. He obviously understood that the power of the two mortars alone would not be able to solve the monster, so he shouted. :
"The mortar continues, aim at the monster's arms, machine guns and pounding cannons to assist in the strike, be sure to block the monster in front of the position..."
...
At this time, John, a young expert in exploration and archaeology, was no longer the position command center.
As soon as he saw this terrifying blood-colored tree man appear, John knew that this time the siege army would be cold.
If there are several medium or heavy artillery on the scene, or just an inland gunboat, and the firepower of several naval guns does not exceed 80 mm, they can destroy the tree man with powerful firepower, and at the worst they can get rid of this food
The troll tree man incarnated in the primitive totem god of human indigenous tribes.
Of course, this is because the tree man whose target is too big is not as mobile as a target. If it were a human-shaped golden strongman, then a person could completely destroy a 10,000-ton battleship of the Royal Navy.
Although the battleships during this period are powerful, no matter how powerful the giant ships and cannons are, they must be able to hit the target.
However, the crusade army had only two pounding cannons that were not much bigger than machine guns and two three-inch caliber mortars. John did not think these could deal with a totem body that had at least the strength of a golden powerful man.
