18th century total war

Chapter 398 Xuanwu Destruction

"Fire!"

Under the command of the officer, hundreds of Bobosha submachine guns sprayed deadly gunfire when the No. 1 enemy cavalry rushed into a distance of 200 meters.

With a rate of fire faster than the Maxim heavy machine gun, they will immediately step into the fire net, escape the Garand semi-automatic rifle fire by chance, and even the cavalry of the Basalt Legion who bounced the bullets away with their own grudge shields will be beaten immediately. Turn over the ground.

Merlin had leaked information about the masters of the human legions of the Arigado Empire who were able to hold up the grudge shield and bulletproof. Merlin had already leaked the information to Emperor Li Wei. Naturally, the entire imperial guards had already known about it.

That's why the soldiers of the imperial guards didn't panic at all when they saw the enemies who could bounce bullets away. Instead, they kept pouring firepower at the enemies whose bodies were glowing (the external manifestation of the grudge shield).

As a result, the few masters were exhausted one by one, and their battle energy shields were exhausted, and the light on their bodies decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they shattered into a piece of light and dissipated in the air.

The cavalrymen of the Xuanwu Legion who had lost their brilliance were beaten into a sieve every minute like ordinary people!

Because the Bobosha submachine gun directly obtained the mature manufacturing technology from Xiaobai, there were no accidents in actual combat.

The Bobosha submachine gun with a caliber of 7.62mm is also used, with a magazine capacity of up to 70 rounds. It is the individual weapon with the highest magazine capacity in the Europa Empire today!

Sufficient magazine capacity is enough to ensure that the soldiers of the Imperial Guard holding the Bobosha submachine gun can maintain a super continuous firepower to kill the enemy in a short period of time. Hitting the body is like a master of tickling, very easy to use.

Even the most radiant cavalrymen of the Xuanwu Army could not withstand the concentrated fire of the Bobosha submachine gun!
The theoretical rate of fire of the Bobosha submachine gun is as high as 900rds/min, which is enough for those powerful soldiers of the Basaltic Legion to break their vindictive shields before they can react!

In addition, the Bobosha submachine gun also has two shooting modes: single shot and continuous shot, which can be used as an ordinary rifle.

The range of the gauge is 50 to 500 meters, which is sufficient to cope with the battlefield situation of this era.

Of course, when soldiers use the Bobosha submachine gun, the effective range that can generally be aimed accurately is often only about 100 meters to 200 meters.

After all, it doesn't make sense for a bullet that can't hit it to be more lethal.

This is limited by the human eye.

Otherwise, why in the 21st century, the effective range of the main rifles of various countries is still within 400 meters?

It is because this effective range is exceeded that there are no technical problems in ensuring the accuracy and lethality of bullets, but it is difficult for soldiers with guns to hit them.

Those who can become a sniper are not ordinary soldiers. No matter which country they are in, a sniper is the endorsement of the elite!
Even a sniper needs to rely on auxiliary tools such as a sniper scope to extend his shooting distance.

To put it bluntly, the short shooting distance is the limitation of the human body, not the limitation of technology!
In fact, by the time of World War II, the effective range of firearms manufactured by humans had exceeded the range of human vision.

Instead of pursuing longer-distance bullet accuracy and lethality, it is better to enhance the performance of firearms within the effective range that the human naked eye can grasp.

After all, it is impossible for soldiers on the battlefield to kill each other by looking at the scope...

Even, for most people, even with a rifle equipped with a scope, it is actually difficult to hit a human target over 400 meters away.

It is so easy to kill enemies with a sight in movies and TV shows. To put it bluntly, it is all for the sake of art. Killing a sniper is not just about pulling the target into the crosshair of the sight to hit the target.

If it were really that easy, wouldn't it be like a player in a shooting game, with just a little practice, everyone would be a sniper?
In the vast majority of cases, it is easy to miss the enemy when aiming at the enemy with a cross-target.

The speed of air flow, environmental factors, and even the stability of the gunman itself are all crucial influencing parameters.

Even if it is off by a micron, it is impossible to accurately hit a target beyond the visual range.

Li Wei understood this truth a long time ago, so naturally he would not pursue the effective range of individual weapons.

It is enough to effectively kill the enemy in the normal line of sight.

In large-scale wars, firepower will always be much more important than precision sniping unless large-yield precision-guided weapons are developed.

Jackson watched his loyal confidantes fall down one after another, tears had already blurred his eyes.

He didn't shed tears for righteousness, but he had predicted his own end!

The grenadier on the opposite side fired close-range bombs that Jackson couldn't understand one after another, and the Maxim heavy machine gun that kept spouting flames shot and killed his cavalry like leeks. Jackson knew that his charge was coming to an end...

However, what makes Jackson feel sad is that he has no retreat!
The enemy seems to have a pair of eyes watching them, no matter where they escape, they will escape their massacre!

Rather than being taken away by the explosives falling from the sky without any resistance, at least Jackson, who is charging now, can see what the enemy on the other side looks like, and maybe he can pull a few backs before he dies.

Jackson didn't want to be like his father, General Michael, who died in the fire without even seeing the enemy!

As for retreating and hiding, Jackson didn't even think about it. They were in the endless Gobi desert, without any supplies. Even if they ate human flesh and drank human blood, the corpses would be rotten and inedible within a few days.

How long can I last by myself?

Under the cover of artillery fire, not only the human body was destroyed, but also the few supplies they carried.

What's more, the enemy may not necessarily watch the Xuanwu Army, which lost its organizational system and suffered heavy losses, linger in the encirclement.

When the enemy's large forces pressed forward, he also had no chance of survival.

Even Jackson suspected that once he escaped, he would not be able to wait for the arrival of the large army. He might be buried by the artillery fire from the sky one day, and die worthless...

Because of this, even though his heart was full of fear of death, Jackson still shed tears while charging without hesitation.

A man does not flick his tears easily, because it is not time to die!
Jackson had always thought of himself as a brave and fearless general. It was only at this moment that he realized that he was just an ant full of fear of death, just like those people in the Arigado Empire whom he looked down upon.

Before death, everyone is equal!
Jackson held up the fine steel enchanted shield forged by the master of the empire himself, which can reduce the consumption of fighting energy and support a more powerful fighting energy shield.

Similarly, the armor on Jackson's body is all enchanted equipment.

Enchanting is just a name for Makabaka Continent. The magic pattern on it is added by a magician, but it does not mean that it must have magical energy to drive it.

On the contrary, magicians often don't need enchanted equipment, their ever-changing magic power is enough to make up for any shortcomings, and enchanted equipment will actually increase the burden of the magician!

After all, a magician who doesn't exercise is not much stronger than ordinary people.

Because enchanting equipment has to bear a large number of magic lines, it often requires a lot of material fusion, and the weight is not something ordinary people can bear.

Therefore, in the Arigado Empire, those who use enchanted equipment the most are those muscular men who don't know any magic and use fighting spirit to fight.

Among them, the most popular enchanted equipment is naturally various enchanted armors and shields that can protect the life and safety of muscular men.

On the contrary, the enchanted weapons used to attack are rarely paid for.

The price of enchanted weapons is too high, and the magicians have completely monopolized the creation of enchanted equipment.

Those who can afford to buy enchanted equipment are either rich or expensive. Even the great nobles will not waste a lot of money to buy a tasteless enchanted weapon.

After all, for the strong, they can use ordinary weapons to sway the sword energy, and the extra battle energy consumed is not a burden to them.

Those who can use enchanted weapons are often of low rank, which means that it is difficult to make a lot of money, so naturally they cannot afford enchanted weapons.

Unless it is used by a big family to train the children of the family, it will spend a lot of money to buy enchanted weapons.

The corresponding enchanted protective gear is sold out immediately.

After all, the consumption of fighting energy shield is exponentially higher than that of attacking with fighting energy.

In terms of self-insurance, most people are willing to spend money.

It's just that no matter how strong the enchanted protective gear is, it won't have much effect under the indiscriminate bombardment of high-explosive grenades fired by the 150mm howitzer.

General Michael's body is full of top-level enchanted armor, which is inferior to the enchanted armor on Jackson's body. The result is that he was bombed without making a sound, and even a complete body cannot be found...

Those masters who were smashed into a sieve by the Bobosha submachine gun were wearing enchanted protective gear, but after losing the energy blessing of battle energy, the enchanted protective gear was no different from ordinary steel protective gear.

Enchanting armor itself has no energy source!
Of the more than [-] cavalrymen, after being bombarded by grenades, Maxim heavy machine guns, Bobosha submachine guns, Garand semi-automatic rifles, and grenades, only a few hundred of them succeeded in closing the distance between the two sides.

Not a single deserter appeared, and it was not an easy task to charge and turn on the battlefield on a horse. Those who had a broken mind and wanted to escape were all turned into corpses by the bullets behind them.

After throwing the wooden-handled grenade in their hands, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards hiding in the trenches kicked up a cloud of dust in front of the trenches, and while the cavalrymen were fighting with the last barbed wire, under the leadership of the officers, they quickly passed through the traffic trenches in an orderly manner. Retreat to the rear.

By the time Jackson completely tore up the barbed wire in front of him and rushed out, the trenches that were crowded with people were already empty. They didn't even care about discarding the heavy Maxim heavy machine gun, which was difficult to move, on the machine gun position.

Of course, the hundreds of last cavalry who rushed in were not in the mood to capture those big guys.

These hundreds of people were not gathered together, but scattered across a trench that was ten miles wide!

If such a small number of ordinary enemies rushed over, the imperial guards would have already attacked them with bayonets.

However, Merlin has already popularized the powerful physical fitness of aliens to the high-level imperial guards, and none of the aliens who can break through the firepower net is weak!
Under that kind of saturated firepower, none of the enemies who can still charge forward without evading at all is weak!
Many of them were wearing enchanted armor!

After finally rushing to the enemy's trench, most of the battle energy in his body was consumed, but Jackson only saw the backs of a group of fleeing enemy soldiers, and he couldn't help but fell into a daze.

The next moment, the familiar screaming sound came again, and the grenadier soldiers who moved back threw rows of shells at the enemy who stepped into the trench!
The new force had replaced those retreating troops, and within a distance of 200 meters, opened fire on the cavalry who had just rushed to the first trench defense area.

The sound of the Maxim heavy machine gun sounded again, smashing the enchanted armor on Jackson's body into a pile of scrap iron, because his grudge was no longer enough to support the full body shield!

The moment the vindictive shield disappeared, Jackson felt that his body was hammered several times by a foreign object, and the severe pain spread all over his body in an instant. Accompanied by the wailing of the beloved horse under his crotch, he and the horse fell into a pool of blood .

Jackson fell on his back to the ground, his face was covered with black stains from gunpowder smoke, his nose was already filled with the smell of gunpowder, he looked at the clean blue sky, he vomited blood and shouted unwillingly: "Merlin! I wish you a good death!"

The top and bottom of the Xuanwu Army are not fools. With such a bad battle situation, they have long guessed that it was a trap set by Merlin.

The Xuanwu Legion hates Merlin far more than it hates the human enemies in the New World!

In human society, traitors are always more hateful than enemies.

The remaining hundreds of cavalry who finally rushed to the first trench defense area had the same fate as Jackson.

Even because these people were too tough, even if they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and surrendered loudly, the imperial guards did not dare to keep them alive.

These are all orders from the top.

Because as long as the Imperial Guard soldiers approached them, any knight could easily kill dozens of Imperial Guard soldiers with bayonets!

Anyway, Li Wei didn't need such physically strong prisoners, so he simply slaughtered them all.

Even if the bodies of these superhumans need to be studied, their corpses can be used for research.

Of course, for Levi, who has a complete technology tree up to the parallel universe civilization level, these materials of superhuman bodies are meaningless.

There is little difference between yes and no.

As long as he absorbs and digests the scientific and technological knowledge inherited from the technological empire step by step, Li Wei's empire can continue to progress across the ages!
Not long after Jackson's death, the former troops of the Basalt Legion who were scattered to break out of the siege were all wiped out in just one day, and those who survived were only stragglers and not a threat.

Subsequently, the 150mm howitzer launched intensive shelling on the last formed rear army of the Xuanwu Army, completely annihilating the main force of the Xuanwu Army!

Thanks to the big pigeon for rewarding 100 starting coins.
