Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 218

“Aim, shoot!”

The officer’s roar echoed in Walter Zeman’s ears. As the officer’s voice fell, he pulled the trigger with his comrades beside him as a conditioned reflex and shot the bullet. Then, he didn’t look at his own victory. Quickly turn around and crouch, leaving the shooting position to your comrades behind you.

In front of them, the Enklan army who took the initiative to attack was harvested by metal projectiles and fell down like the rice after the autumn under the salvo of the Imperial Army’s rifles, but they were still advancing towards them with their rifles one after the other. After so long During the battle, the Enkelans also understood that the enemy’s firearms advantage was mainly at a farther effective killing distance than the muskets they were equipped with. As long as they speeded up and shortened the distance to within fifty meters, the enemy’s range advantage would also be offset.

However, they also prepared another surprise for the enemy.

Zeman quickly poured the gunpowder and lead bullets from the paper packet into the barrel, and pressed it down with the slats. When he got up again and pointed the muzzle forward, he saw that the enemy had advanced to within a distance of them. A hundred meters away.

He saw with his own eyes that an Enkelan soldier who looked about the same age as him was hit by a bullet in the stomach, a cloud of blood burst out, covered his stomach in pain, bowed down, and the soldiers behind him didn’t even look at him. Go straight across his body and continue to move forward, human life is like a must at this moment.

He hesitated for only a second before pulling the trigger. The bullet he fired hit the thigh of an Enkelan soldier with great precision. The man screamed and stumbled a few steps before falling to the ground. Howling like a pig.

The Enkelans are not unswerving. The continuous firepower output of the enemy and the mournful wailing from the fallen comrades all touched their heartstrings and shook their hearts.

However, there are exceptions among them. Most of the Enkelans in the front line are tall warriors. They wear uniforms that look better than ordinary soldiers, and have a circle of bulging things around their waists. It is perseverance, and at a glance, you know that it must be elite.

They are the grenadiers in the Enkelan army, and they are regarded by Lehmann as the troop that breaks the line!

With the example of those determined grenadiers, the rest of the Enkland soldiers gritted their teeth and moved forward. How strong is the example, just like that sentence, a sheep led by a lion can easily defeated a lion led by a sheep.

After approaching a distance of about 50 meters, the Enkelans stopped advancing, raised their rifles and aimed and fired at the imperial soldiers who emerged from the trenches. The soldier suddenly screamed and fell backwards. The comrade who took over Zeman’s shooting was just shot in the head by a bullet, and he fell on his back before he even had time to scream.

Zeman, who was still filling, only felt that the side of his face was splashed by some hot and sticky unknown object. He deliberately reached out to touch it, put it in front of his eyes, and found that blood mixed with brains was on his palm. .

Seeing the unknown liquid on his hands, Zeman just froze for a moment, and then continued to reload the rifle. When he reloaded, other soldiers on the same front as him fought back one after another. The sound of gunfire suddenly erupted in the distance, and people from both sides were shot and fell from time to time, but in general, the Enkelans who stood in the open position suffered the most casualties.

The Enkelan people also adopted Xu Jin’s shooting tactics. They covered each other to shorten the distance between the two sides. After several rounds of salvos, they finally got close to the position less than ten meters away from the position. At this time, Enke Lan Grenadier finally took off the grenade from his waist, ignited the lead, and threw his arms around the trench with all his might.

“not good!”

The seasoned veterans and officers recognized at first sight what the black dots were flying towards them, and could not help screaming in shock, and Zeman watched as the irritated The ball fell from the sky and fell into their position. Because their queue was denser, the grenade also fell and injured many people.

“Retreat! Get out of here!”

Without the officers shouting, many soldiers who responded quickly turned around and climbed out of the trench. Zeman almost crawled out with his hands and feet on the ground. Just after he took two steps, a series of explosions suddenly sounded behind him. Those grenades The black powder stored in the interior was ignited by the lead wire and exploded from the inside. The shattered grenade shrapnel and the iron nails contained in it and other sharp objects splashed around, killing and injuring many soldiers who were moving slowly.

As for those who were knocked down by grenades and couldn’t get out of the trenches, they were naturally inserted into a hornet’s nest by the splashing sharp objects.

“charge!”

Seeing that the grenade had played a role, the tall grenadiers took the lead in raising their bayonets, roaring and charging, and the ordinary Enkelan soldiers followed closely behind, as if they wanted to shout to suffocate the just shot. Qu and anger vented.

Everything seems to be logical. After evacuating the first trench, the imperial soldiers took their weapons and retreated to the next line of defense without looking back. At the same time as they retreated, the Enkelan soldiers behind them were also chasing. Even without precise aiming, he could still hit the target at such a close distance.

Zeman listened to the sound of gunfire from time to time behind him, and ran desperately forward with his head covered. Soon he withdrew to the second parapet defense line, and then he and the surrounding comrades heard the officers in front shouting at them. Shouting: “Get down! Get down!”

Zeman didn’t even think about it, his instinct to obey orders made him dive directly to the ground ~www.mtlnovel.com~ very naturally, exposing the vision of the enemy behind him to the muzzle of the friendly army.

“shooting!”

Before the Enkelans could react, they saw a flash of fire in front of them, and then they seemed to be concentrated by invisible fists in the air, and they burst into a cloud of blood mist and screamed at the soldiers in front of them. Falling to the ground by inertia.

After this round of volleys were fired, the imperial soldiers standing in the first row handed the guns without bullets to the comrades behind them at the fastest speed, took the loaded rifles from the latter, and moved towards the comrades who had just been fired. A salvo hits the ignorant enemy and shoots a second salvo!

Two consecutive face-to-face volleys made Enkelan finally break through and the increased morale fell like a cliff again. They were suddenly shaken, hesitating whether they should continue to charge, and at this time, the empires lying on the ground The soldiers also quickly got up and climbed over the parapet to retreat into the safe area.

Soon, the Enkelans made a decision. They retreated back a certain distance in an orderly manner, preparing to regroup and make a comeback.
