Bang, bang, bang, bang … A series of machine gun sounds resounded above the stronghold. This was the first time that this kind of weapon, which was very unfamiliar to this world, had brought about a result that made people shudder.
Click, click. When the combination ammunition chain was emptied, Ren Baqian threw it directly below the corner tower and said, "Reload."
His hand didn't stop pressing the other combination ammunition chain onto the gun. He aimed at the Great Xia soldiers who were at a loss after discovering that the people in front of them had fallen to the ground in pieces and pulled the trigger again.
The captain of the Great Xia army looked at the people at the front of the line who had fallen into a pool of blood. He listened to the miserable howls of the Great Xia soldiers whose limbs were broken or who had a big hole in their abdomen.
He originally thought that an aboriginal village would only cause a little trouble at most, even if it wasn't as easy as falling to a rock under the attack of 1,000 elite soldiers.
That was what he was thinking a minute ago. He didn't expect that a corner tower in the stockade would suddenly spit out a tongue of flame, accompanied by a clear and strange sound. Then, the soldiers in front of him fell down like straws.
A quarter of the 200 elite soldiers were turned into a sea of blood and minced meat.
This wave of attack was too sudden, and the method of attack was completely unfamiliar. Until now, he still didn't know what exactly the other party was using.
Whether it was in terms of power or speed, it was much more powerful than an arrow. It was so powerful that it terrified him, and he couldn't help but reveal a panicked expression.
If this went on, he was afraid that these 1,000 elite soldiers would all fall to the ground before they could even reach the walls of the stronghold.
Although he shouted for a retreat, the Great Xia soldiers were too densely packed. Ren Baqian's second ammunition chain was emptied, and another half of the soldiers fell to the ground.
At this moment, half of the 1,000 Great Xia soldiers had already fallen to the ground.
"Reload!" Ren Baqian threw the ammunition chain below the corner tower without any expression on his face. At this moment, all his emotions had completely calmed down. His heart rate dropped from 160 to 70, and the bloody scene and the miserable howls outside the stronghold had been completely cast out of his mind.
There was a saying that went, "After watching all the action movies in the world, one would naturally have no code in his heart."
Ren Baqian did the opposite. After seeing so much blood, he would naturally have a code in his heart.
Ren Baqian felt that this was his realm.
The loneliness of being an expert arose spontaneously.
Who was the one who shouted for a retreat just now? Was it that person with a green feather on his hat? He was dressed like a military officer! As Ren Baqian thought about it, he aimed and pulled the trigger.
The Great Xia captain's body seemed to have been electrocuted. He magically twisted his body and actually dodged the bullet.
Ren Baqian's eyes widened. Your waist is as thick as a water bucket, yet you can twist your waist like a water snake? As expected of an expert!
"Da da da!"
Several large holes immediately appeared on the bodies of the two soldiers beside the captain.
Ren Baqian simply swept the muzzle of his gun horizontally and finally turned that Great Xia officer into a pile of mosaic.
Ren Baqian then turned the muzzle to the Great Xia soldiers who were fleeing in all directions.
It was a bit of a waste just now. 600 bullets killed or maimed 500 people. Given the density of the Great Xia army, a considerable number of them killed or maimed two people at a time. Based on this calculation, the hit rate was at most 50%.
What's more, this was when the enemy was so densely packed.
This time, Ren Baqian slowed down a lot. The almost non-stop gunshots were reduced to two or three short gunshots.
Those guards watched as Great Xia's battle formation closed in. They watched as the strange weapon emitted a sound and the Great Xia battle formation was set off in a rain of blood. They watched as the Great Xia soldiers fell in rows and the Great Xia army, which originally had an imposing aura, scattered in confusion.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They looked at the Great Xia army and then looked at the flaming tongues from the other corner tower. They looked as if they were looking at a god.
All the nervousness and apprehension from before had completely disappeared.
Ren Baqian stopped pulling the trigger. About 100 people ran away from the enemy with four ammunition belts. In the end, some of them even evolved to run in an S-shaped pattern, which made Ren Baqian exclaim in admiration.
He had brought a total of 5,000 rounds of ammunition. This kind of bullet was too heavy. One bullet weighed 131 grams, which was a little more than two and a half ounces. Four of these bullets weighed about half a kilogram. Including the box, he could only bring more than 2,000 rounds at a time.
After firing these four ammunition belts, there were less than 4,000 rounds left. It was better to use them sparingly. As such, he couldn't be bothered to shoot those who ran too far away. Even though the effective range of this gun was more than 1,000 meters, Ren Baqian was very confident in his marksmanship. It wasn't worth it to waste too many bullets on those few people.
Outside the stronghold, there were corpses and flesh scattered all over the ground. The area closest to the stronghold was the most concentrated, and the further away it was, the more scattered it was.
"How lonely it is to be invincible. How empty it is to be invincible. Standing alone at the peak, the cold wind blows continuously. My loneliness … Who can understand me …" Ren Baqian hummed a tune as he picked up the binoculars and looked at the Great Xia army that was one kilometer away.
He saw a few people standing in front of the Great Xia army and looking in his direction. The 100 Great Xia soldiers who ran back to save their lives were telling them something.
Following which, Ren Baqian used the binoculars to look to the side. His eyes suddenly froze.
What was that?
That black cylinder that was being pulled by a carriage …
"A cannon!" Ren Baqian exclaimed.
There was actually such a thing in the Great Xia army?
Lin Qiaole, who had been staring at the anti-aircraft machine gun, finally regained her senses. "What cannon?"
Ren Baqian pointed in the direction of the Great Xia army. He opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time. The Great Xia army actually had cannons? This was too much of a surprise.
He never thought that he would actually see such a thing in this world.
However, as he continued to observe, he realized that the cannons of the Great Xia army should be very primitive, like the early iron cannons from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. They were very clumsy and didn't have much power. However, he would only know the specifics after obtaining them.
Ren Baqian frowned. He felt that it was necessary for him to bring his Italian cannon over.
If Great Xia took out something else, he wouldn't feel anything. However, they actually took out cannons. Ren Baqian felt that he was being provoked.
"Sir Ren, this is really too powerful!" Shi Hu hurriedly ran to the corner tower and exclaimed.
Although he already knew that this thing wasn't weak, he didn't expect it to be so terrifying.
Especially in the face of a military formation.
Ren Baqian grunted twice. He had to maintain the demeanor of an expert.
He then continued to use the binoculars to look at the other side. There were a few people who looked like generals standing in front of the army and pointing at them. Many of them were frowning, showing either fear or anger.
One of them was particularly eye-catching. The silver helmet on his head was shining brightly. Ren Baqian felt that he would be going against his conscience if he didn't shoot him.
If he killed the other party's general, would the other party retreat?
Even if he had to waste more bullets to kill the other party, it would be worth it.
Needless to say, the other party's generals actually gathered together …
At the thought of this, Ren Baqian gently moved the muzzle to aim at the other party and then held the trigger.
Da, da, da …
Through the scope, the general wearing the silver helmet revealed an astonished look. Soon after, a long saber appeared in his hand and he waved it in the air.
A few sparks flashed in the air, and the long saber in the general's hand turned into a pile of fragments.
Then, the general tried to dodge.
However, the bullets from the machine gun were too dense and fast.
The killing range of this gun on flat ground was 1,500 meters. At 1,000 meters, it still had considerable lethality. In addition, it could fire six rounds per second.
The general wanted to dodge, but he was turned into a mist of blood.
