Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1013 Deadly Threat

A group of people and horses galloped across the night, and all the knights on the horses were in black clothes and armor. They ride lightly, with long knives on their backs, and muskets straddling their horses. The knight kept silent, and even the horses on which they were riding had cushioned hoofs and a hood over their mouths, making the sound of the horses galloping so small that it could be ignored. This team of people advanced quietly like ghosts, and the direction they were heading was the short slope where Alan's caravan was located.

When the horse team passed a low hill, a black shadow suddenly floated from behind one of the hills and came over the horse team. The leader of the team leader suddenly noticed and looked up. Through the faint moonlight, I saw that it was a piece of black cloth, but behind the piece of cloth, there were more than a dozen swirling black spheres whose fuses were shining with sparks. The leader gasped, not caring about hiding his whereabouts, and shouted: "Be careful of fire and thunder..."

At the end of the sentence, there was an explosion above the head, a large piece of flame exploded, and the impact caused the dozen or so riders below to fall out violently. The horses and knights were all broken and broken, but the leader didn't know that those were not ordinary fire thunders. It is the nitrate oil fire mine that has been transformed by Lins. The inner layer has been modified on the basis of the original fire mine, and the nitrate oil and the gunpowder liner are separated by a metal sheet. When the fire thunder explodes, nitrous oil will be sprinkled in all directions, and it will burn when it touches the fire, which increases the destructive power of the fire mine and prolongs the burning time of the flame.

Now more than a dozen nitrate fire mines exploded, forming several walls of fire on the ground. The wall of fire not only disrupted the formation of the cavalry, but also allowed Alan and others on the hillside in the distance to see the situation of the cavalry clearly. The leader yelled "Rush over", and the knight immediately took out a black square scarf from behind his waist in a well-trained manner, and quickly wrapped the horse's eyes so that it could not see the flames. Then clamp the horse's belly tightly, urging the horse to rush away from the wall of fire.

Far above the hillside, Allen saw horses bursting out of the flames by the light of the fire, quickly recovered their formation, and continued to advance in their direction. Allen narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you think?"

Edward next to him affirmed: "It's not like a bandit group, it's more like an army. Not only are the knights well-trained, but even the quality of the horses is quite good. But there is no logo, so it is difficult to judge the identity."

Allen pointed to the horse team in the distance and said: "Now there are hundreds of miles around here.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page), there are no other caravans, obviously coming for us. And they came prepared, which means they knew in advance that we would come. Edward, do you want to make a bet with me, this must be a gift from some adult. "

"Don't think about me participating in a game that is obviously going to lose." Edward said in a deep voice: "The number of opponents is quite large, about twice as many as ours. Lord Allen, what are you going to do?"

"It's quite a lot." Alan didn't even think about it, and said, "Kill them all. No one will be left alive, no prisoners will be taken. Kill them all. Since someone gave you a gift, then I will accept it without hesitation!"

Fares standing behind him was shocked, and he also saw the size and performance of the cavalry. Not only does the opponent have a numerical advantage, but the combat power of the opponent is almost comparable to the regular army of the Empire.

Under such circumstances, Allen even wanted to swallow the other party. If he hadn't known what he was like, Fares would almost have thought him crazy.

Edward ignored Fares' thoughts, and simply said a few words to the copper blade next to him. The copper blade nodded and left, and then passed down the order layer by layer. The Mountain King warriors carried their shields and hammers, and first set up an arc-shaped defense line under the hillside. This line of defense has three layers in total. Behind the line of defense, inch fire shooters pressed in, and everyone raised their guns and waited with bated breath. After these shooters came the foot soldiers.

Allen raised his hand, and several wooden piles arranged in front of the formation burst into flames, lighting up the battlefield. With the light of the fire, the enemy cavalry could clearly see that Allen and his party had already set up their battles down the hillside. The leader was slightly surprised, surprised at the efficiency of Allen's guards, but he was also unafraid. He raised his hand and shouted: "Musketeers ready!"

Dozens of musketeers behind the leader immediately picked up the side muskets of the horse, controlled the horse with their legs, and raised their guns with both hands. While the leader was still waiting for the opponent to enter the shooting range of the musket, he was shocked to see the flickering fire on the opposite hillside, and then the violent gunshots rang out.

The opponent actually opened fire first?

Now the distance between the two sides is about 500 meters. Even with the latest muskets of the empire, shooting at this distance is useless. But under the darkness of night, the leader desperately saw the roaring lines of fire coming from the opposite hillside. One of the lights was right on his face.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Boom, the leader draws his sword, infused with source power, and slashes under the firelight. With the sparks flying everywhere, he swung the saber violently, the leader's heart was shocked, the impact of the opponent's bullet was so terrifying!

The leader deflected the bullet, but the knight behind him didn't have the ability. After a round of shooting, the cavalry shooters fell to their horses and died one after another, and the leader's eyes were extremely heavy. They failed to fire a shot, but they had already lost the lives of about twenty shooters. But now there is no way out, the leader can only point forward with his sword: "Charge! Charge!"

Now he can only hope to use the speed of the horse to attack the enemy's formation, making the opponent's powerful musket useless. But the gunfire sounded down the hillside again, and the distance between the two waves of gunfire was very short, so short that there was almost no interval between reloading. This was another desperate discovery.

Only when the second wave of shots fired, the cavalry shooters had already entered the firing range. Without the leader's order, the archer immediately launched a counterattack.

At this time, the Shanwang warriors set up a shield wall, and the inner and outer layers of shields were layered on top of each other, protecting the inch fire shooter at the rear. Let the opponent's shooter shoot a burst of fire, sweeping out a series of jumping sparks on the shield wall, but not even a single soldier was brought down. At most it was just a bruise or a shot in an insignificant place, while the first enemy shooter finished firing, taking advantage of the gap between their reloads. The shield wall was cracked, and a fiery rifle reappeared ferociously, cutting off a large area of ​​the enemy cavalry.

The expressions of Fares and Rick were almost dull. They had seen the power of the Flame Rifle when they were in the Blackwood Forest. But the battle was too short back then, far less shocking than it is now. In particular, the range of the fire rifle subverted their common sense, which shocked them more than the power of the rifle.

Elise, who had made up her mind to stand by from the beginning, was also dumbfounded, her small mouth opened into an o-shape and closed for a long time. The fiery rifle, which is far beyond the technology of this planet, made Alice unbelievable that there is such a battlefield killer in this world. Even though this rifle poses a limited threat to the strong, there are so many strong men on the battlefield, and most of them are ordinary soldiers with low or no source of power.

This kind of rifle is definitely a deadly threat to ordinary soldiers!
