Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 205

However, according to Murphy’s Law, which is not available in this world but applies to all worlds, if there is a chance that things will go bad, no matter how small the chance, it will always happen.

The scene that the Enkelan officers least wanted to see happened. When the Imperial cavalry rushed to a distance of about 200 meters, some extremely nervous soldier accidentally pulled the trigger and fired the first shot at the enemy. Then, not only this trench, but the entire front line was filled with continuous pea-like gunshots.

At the moment when the first shot sounded, the officers realized that something was wrong, and they roared to stop more soldiers from shooting, but people’s herd mentality still caused most of the soldiers to shoot the projectiles in the barrel.

bang bang bang-

A cloud of white gunpowder rose up in front of the Enkelan position, and the fire was everywhere, but it did not cause any casualties to the running Imperial cavalry. Seeing that the shooting could not be stopped, the desperate officers could only order the soldiers to quickly load the rifles with new ones. projectile.

Bellomo was also affected just now and shot the projectile. After he shot it, he immediately realized what a stupid thing he had done. He quickly took out the paper bag containing black powder and projectiles that was faked by the Ministry of War, and bit the seal. He poured gunpowder and projectiles into the barrel one after another, and then watched nervously at the rushing enemy cavalry as he stabbed the clear rod into the barrel.

The soldiers around him also did the same, but the huge psychological pressure caused many soldiers to make various mistakes when loading. It was because their hands shook and the projectiles were poured out of the muzzle, or they couldn’t be inserted. Go in – but at this moment, the imperial cavalry has rushed to less than fifty meters away from the first trench!

“Shoot! Shoot!”

The officers shouted in despair, and at the same time raised their flintlock pistols to shoot at the enemy, but most of the soldiers’ projectiles were shot out before, and only sporadic gunfire could sound at this time.

Bellomo looked at the enemy who was close to him and knew that he was too late to shoot. He was very simply soft on his feet, and the whole person retracted into the trench to avoid the edge of the enemy cavalry. Apart from him, there were many reactions. The faster soldiers also followed and got into the trench. They were all stuck against the earth wall, their eyes closed, and they waited for the enemy to rush past.

boom–

A battalion commander who was on the front line shot and killed a cuirassier who was charging at him. Before he could throw down his pistol and raise his sword, a knight on the back of a warhorse crossing the trench swung a sharp saber. , chopped off his gun-carrying left arm. Those soldiers who did not indent in the trenches were also slaughtered by the cavalry. The saber more than one meter long could easily cut through the thin uniforms of the Enkelan soldiers, leaving a ferocious wound on their bodies. People try to resist, but they basically get killed before they kill an enemy.

As for the soldiers who were indented in the trenches, they were not able to escape. After the cuirassiers rushed over, the second division infantry who followed up jumped into the trenches and forced Bellomo and the others to disarm with their guns and bayonets. surrender.

After crossing the first trench, the cuirassiers continued to shout and rushed to the next line of defense – the line infantry deployed behind the breast wall, the infantry of the second line of defense had finished loading, they Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger at the rushing enemy, and a white gunpowder suddenly appeared in front of the dirt wall. The cuirassiers in the front row seemed to be hit by an invisible fist in the air. out.

“Keep shooting!”

After firing the first shot, the Enkelan soldier standing behind the earth wall quickly handed the empty gun to his comrade-in-arms behind him, took a fully loaded rifle from the latter, and prepared to fire a second salvo forward.

But at this moment, the cuirassiers roared through the smoke, jumped high from the front of the earth wall, rushed into the crowd, knocked down the line infantry hiding behind the earth wall, and the cavalry immediately waved The saber slashed left and right, and slashed the enemies who were still standing under the horse!

The ferocity of the cuirassiers completely shattered the unsettled hearts of the Enkelans soldiers, and after the smoke cleared, the second division infantrymen who followed the cavalry into the position with the sound of enthusiastic drums brought them. Under the pressure, these Enkelan soldiers lost their will to fight, threw their weapons on the ground and ran away with their heads in their arms.

All this was unknown to Bellomo. He was hiding in the trenches as he watched with his own eyes the enemy soldiers in blue-blue military uniforms jumped into the trenches from their heads and aimed themselves at himself with the dark muzzle and the bright bayonet. Loudly demanded his and his comrades surrender in the less proficient Enkelan.

Seeing more and more Imperial soldiers appearing in their sights, Bellomo and the other soldiers suddenly extinguished their thoughts of resistance. They obediently threw their weapons on the ground, raised their hands above their heads, and shouted “We surrender, We surrender”, climbing out of the trench under the threat of guns and bayonets.

While climbing out of the trenches, he recalled again his father’s persuasion to him before joining the army. His father’s words made a prediction, and he became a prisoner when he went to the battlefield. He didn’t know what he would receive after becoming a prisoner of war. This kind of treatment, before the war, he heard many bad rumors about the Lumen people in the training camp.

Some people say that the Rumeng people will torture all the prisoners to death, including but not limited to burying alive, flogging, living targets and so on. Some people say that after being captured by the Rumen, the only thing you can do is to pray to the Holy Spirit and pray that you will not be abused or executed by the Rumen in the future. It is also said that those who become prisoners will be given a terrible magic, and they will become the lackeys and puppets of the Lumen people~www.mtlnovel.com~ take up arms to fight against their former comrades.

In any case, the rumored prisoners will only get a bad end, which makes Bellomo’s heart extremely frightened, and the recruits around him who were captured with him also look horrified, as if they will be executed by the enemy in the next second. .

After climbing out of the trench, Bellomo was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him. In the open space between the first trench and the second parapet, many corpses of knights and warhorses fell. Those who did not die on the spot The people and the war horses also kept wailing, and many parts of the parapet had collapsed, splattered with crimson blood, and the bodies of many tragically killed friendly troops could be seen behind some of the collapsed chests.

Looking over the parapet, the friendly troops who dropped their weapons were still screaming and fleeing. The enemy cavalry did not pursue them, but instead continued to charge forward, waving sabres.

“Hurry up!”

Just as he was observing the battlefield, he was kicked **** the back of his butt, causing him to stumble and take a few steps forward. Bellomo didn’t look at the soldier who kicked him. He felt again about his fate. worried.
