heavy weapon is king

Chapter 140 Full Firepower! (Second update)
Outer defensive circle, Maxim heavy machine gun positions.

Inside a temporary fortification, Nie Zheng, Shi Zheng, Niu Meng and other hall leaders gathered here.

At this moment, the sun was setting and the sky was gradually getting darker.

Within the forty fortifications facing the lower reaches of the Yuanjiang River, forty Maxim heavy machine guns were densely deployed within a defense line of nearly a kilometer.

Every four-man machine gun team has already started to sort out bullets and reload ammo chains. As long as the enemy's large group of troops appears in front, they will launch the most violent fire attack without hesitation, and the enemy will have no resistance.

Nie Zheng looked at the machine gun position that had already been deployed in front of him, nodded in satisfaction, and said to Niu Meng behind him: "Bazooka launcher, are you ready?"

Niu Meng nodded and said: "One hundred rocket launchers have already been filled with rockets, waiting for the leader's orders at any time."

"So good!"

Immediately afterwards, Nie Zheng searched the crowd for a while with his eyes, and said, "Why don't you see Xue Changsheng?"

Hearing this, Su Dongshan, who has a good relationship with Xue Changsheng, hastily replied: "Several brothers under the leadership of Xue Changsheng, because they are not suitable for the water, soil and climate in the south, have been vomiting and diarrhea for the past two days. Luo Yaotou is taking their pulse and treating them."

Nie Zheng sighed softly, and said: "Indeed, the climate in the south is no better than that in the north. The humidity here is heavy, there is a lot of rain, and it is abnormally warm. The dry food we carry will easily deteriorate if it takes a long time. It seems that We have to hurry up and take down a city, otherwise, if this continues, it is estimated that there will be many brothers whose bodies will not be able to bear it."

As soon as this remark came out, all the hall masters and leaders nodded in agreement.

At this time, Nie Zheng seemed to remember something, and suddenly ordered to Su Dongshan: "By the way, Hall Master Su, can anyone pick up those fish floating on the river this afternoon?"

Su Dongshan said with a smile: "Boss Cao and the others have already picked up hundreds of big carps."

Nie Zheng nodded, and said: "That's very good, you go down and inform Mr. Cao and the others, let them start the stove quickly, cook a pot of fish soup in advance, and give it to those brothers who are sick, so that they can rest well .”

Hearing this, Su Dongshan's heart warmed up, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate will do it now."

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left the fortification, and ran towards the inner defense circle.

When Su Dongshan hadn't run a few steps, he suddenly heard Nie Zheng's voice coming from behind him again.

"Master Su, remember to inform Master Xue to come see me."

"Yes, leader!"...

Not long after, a short, middle-aged man hurried up to Nie Zheng.

This person is Xue Changsheng.

Xue Changsheng was also the core hall master of a cottage before. Because of his strong strength and quick mind, Nie Zheng later asked him to lead all the grenadier shooters.

After Xue Changsheng saw Nie Zheng, he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "Subordinate Xue Changsheng, I have met the leader!"

Nie Zheng waved his hand, and said with concern: "Master Xue excused the ceremony, are the brothers under your command getting better?"

Xue Changsheng smiled and said, "Thanks to the leader's concern, Lu Hou'er and the others have begun to improve after Luo Yaotou's diagnosis and treatment."

"That's fine."

Nie Zheng nodded, and asked again: "By the way, Master Xue, hurry up and gather all the grenadier launchers, and I have an important task for you to do later."

Hearing this, Xue Changsheng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, this subordinate will do it now!"

After saying that, Xue Changsheng left quickly.

At this moment, Shi Zheng, who was standing beside Nie Zheng, suddenly reminded: "Leader, the enemy's cavalry has appeared!"

Hearing these words, all the people present were shocked, and hurriedly raised their heads to look forward.

Sure enough, in the lower reaches of the Yuanjiang River, a few miles away from the machine gun position, a group of cavalry in black appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked forward.

Through the military binoculars, Nie Zheng could clearly see that a cavalry force composed of two thousand Da Yue natives was rushing menacingly, dragging hundreds of heavy crossbows.

I saw those crossbows, which were quite huge, with solid shields half a person's height mounted on both sides, and a thick layer of copper was wrapped on top of the hard shields. From what they looked like, these crossbows could continuously launch long-range attacks on the enemy , but also has the function of assault defense.

Seeing this, Nie Zheng's face darkened, and he immediately ordered everyone: "Everyone listen to the order and prepare to fight!"

"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

As soon as the order was issued, everyone responded with a loud bang.

In an instant, the forty Maxim heavy machine guns deployed in this area all adjusted their black muzzles and aimed at the galloping Da Yue cavalry ahead.

At the same time, Xue Changsheng had brought all three hundred grenade launchers to the machine gun defense line.

At this time, Xue Changsheng strode up to Nie Zheng, bowed his hands and begged for orders: "Leader, what is the task, please give me an order?"

Nie Zheng took a deep look at them, and said in a deep voice: "Master Xue, now you lead all the grenade launchers, leave the machine gun defensive position, advance 50 meters, and be ready to attack at any time. I command!"

"Obey, lord!"

After Xue Changsheng cupped his hands, he immediately led 50 grenadier launchers, plus 89 assistants, and rushed out of the heavy machine gun defense line very quickly. At the outer [-] meters, they squatted down and quickly All the [-]-type grenade launchers are arranged incomparably, ready to be reloaded and projected at any time.

At the same time, under Nie Zheng's order, Niu Meng and others filled the rocket launchers with ammunition and placed them in the fortifications for emergency use.

Although they all hold light machine guns in their hands, when necessary, they can put down the light machine guns and take out the bazooka to bomb the enemies in front.

After all the personnel on his side were ready to fight, Nie Zheng was completely relieved at this time, and continued to pick up the binoculars to observe every move of the enemy in front of him.

At this moment, the [-] Da Yue cavalrymen on the field in front of them, carrying hundreds of heavy crossbows, approached mightily.

Soon, the enemy's soldiers and horses entered the attack range of 1000 meters.

This distance is already the effective killing range of the Maxim heavy machine gun, but Nie Zheng did not rush to order to fire.

Because, like this kind of wide and flat field, the penetrating lethality of heavy machine guns can be exerted best.

If you shoot at a long distance, I am afraid that the bullets fired by the Maxim heavy machine gun will be greatly reduced in lethality, and it will not be able to achieve the effect of serial penetration and killing.

Besides, if the distance is too far, the bullets of the heavy machine gun will scatter and drift. In this way, the hit rate will drop sharply, which is very uneconomical.

Now, in Nie Zheng's hands, there are less than a million rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition in total. If a few enemies are not killed after a blind shot, those ejected bullets will be wasted in vain.

You must know that dozens of heavy machine guns fired at the same time, and tens of thousands of bullets could be fired in a minute, and this was intermittent bursts.

If it is like that kind of crazy non-stop shooting, a Maxim heavy machine gun can shoot out five or six hundred bullets in one minute, like Nie Zheng's remaining ammunition stock, it is estimated that he can finish it today.

The plan to capture Annan County has only just begun. Nie Zheng only has so many weapons and ammunition, and it is impossible to use them sparingly.

Therefore, in order to give full play to the lethality of the heavy machine guns, the enemy must be brought as close as possible. Only in this way can the group of heavy machine gunners under Shi Zheng be able to completely annihilate the enemy.

At this time, Shi Zheng saw that Nie Meng was still refusing to give the order to fire, so he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Leader, the enemy is already less than [-] steps away from us, can I give the order to fire!"

With a faint sneer on Nie Zheng's face, he shook his head and said, "No hurry, let them get within three hundred steps."

"Three hundred steps? Isn't it too close? If those Da Yue monkeys launch crossbows against us, I'm afraid it will be troublesome." Shi Zheng frowned and muttered in a low voice.

Nie Zheng's eyes flashed brightly, looking at the approaching enemies ahead, he said, "Carriage crossbow? I'm afraid they won't have a chance to launch it..."

Soon, two thousand Da Yue cavalry dragged hundreds of heavy crossbows into the range of 600 meters ahead.

Suddenly, at this moment, those Da Yue cavalry all stopped and did not move forward.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng frowned, thinking to himself what the hell are these Da Yue monkeys doing, they are charging well, why should they stop?

Under the watchful eyes of Nie Zheng and others, the Da Yue cavalry who were a mile away suddenly dispersed like a tide.

I saw this group of Dayue natives pushing a chariot crossbow to the front and lined up on the wide field.

Immediately afterwards, after a short time, Nie Zheng saw a large group of people appearing from the back of two thousand cavalry, and the number was at least eight thousand or more.

"It turns out that these cavalry are waiting for the large troops behind?"

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng continued to observe.

Eight thousand Da Viet infantry followed closely behind, pouring in from the field like a tide.

In the distance, all the dragon and tiger elites stationed in the machine gun defensive position could clearly hear the heavy footsteps of the eight thousand Da Yue infantry running in the distance.

Obviously, the eight thousand Da Yue infantrymen were all wearing armor, otherwise, when they ran fast, they wouldn't make such a big noise.

After the [-] Da Yue infantry arrived, the [-] cavalry guarding the hundreds of crossbows suddenly divided into two cavalry teams of [-] men, one on the left and the other on the right.

At this time, [-] Da Yue infantry rushed to the crossbow with shouts, pushed hundreds of crossbows with shouts in unison, and slowly rushed towards Nie Zheng's heavy machine gun defensive position.

At the same time, two teams of thousands of cavalry gathered on the left and right sides of the crossbow suddenly held their long-handled scimitars high, screamed strangely, rode their horses and swung their whips, intending to charge from the two wings and kill the group of invaders crossing the river in front of them. Han people, kill them all...
