Chapter 317 Blockade and Division
A bullet knocked down the imperial soldier who wanted to penetrate the street, and his blood left a splash mark on the ground scattered with gray embers along with the rolling lead bullet.
The gathered imperial soldiers shrank back at the death of their companions and continued to hide behind the wall waiting for the turnaround.
The precision shooter pulled the bolt, waited for the gun to cool down, and reloaded a brand new paper shell fixed bullet.
Rotate the bolt, load the chamber, and reset the hammer.
Only a team of precision shooters occupying the commanding heights can control the entire street/the passage near the tower as the center.
No scope, in the night.
The scout hunters dispersed and sneaked into the building, ready to use their lives to provide the precision shooters with the enemy's coordinates.
The scenery of the street was reflected in their pupils. Most of the wooden buildings were only left with charred remains. The houses and wood that had not yet burned out provided the only remaining light for this front-line camp that accommodated nearly 10,000 people.
The dark red afterglow was active under the half-burned charred wood.
The rifle shooters relied on their long-range rifles to block one street after another from a high position, and the scout hunting spiders that could perfectly blend into the night were their best sentinels.
The army of the territory was more suitable for night battles than the invaders.
The scout hunting spiders themselves were extremely adaptable to the dark environment. In the dim light, the scout hunting spiders could also maintain extremely sensitive vision and vibration perception.
Constructs, constructs have two sets of perception methods. They are not limited to the conventional light vision like humans. Their punishment in night battles comes more from the soldiers fighting with them.
The support capabilities of the soldiers are limited in night battles, which leads to their inability to fully exert their combat capabilities.
Some torches that are obviously taller and brighter than other fires also rise as the battle progresses.
The gray-clothed soldiers held rifles and stood guard beside the tree man who was already surrounded by flames, and the grenadiers kept throwing crystal ore explosive packs tied into square bags into the flames to promote its death process.
These living trees grow on human flesh and blood, and they dig their roots into corpses to extract rich nutrients to feed themselves. Their active roots that can penetrate deep into the ground pose a considerable threat to infantry units, and the tree armor made of lignin gives it a natural advantage when facing small ammunition.
The steam mechanized soldiers will not be disturbed by its active roots. The two-ton mechanical structure unit treats the roots that emerge from the ground as nothing when advancing.
Extending the mechanical arm to block the tree man's self-defense swing, raising the arc spear to penetrate the tree man's skin, inserting it into its trunk to begin releasing electrical energy.
The arc suppression of the steam mechanized soldiers has little effect on plants. The roots of the tree man penetrate deep into the earth and can transfer a large part of the current received to the earth.
Killing has never been all of the steam mechanized soldiers. Paralyzing the target is also a key part of the electric energy troops.
During the short period of time when the tree man was continuously paralyzed by the steam mechanized soldiers, the grenadiers tied up the crystal ore explosives and threw them into their bottom tendrils and the long and thick arms that were spread out.
This is written in the soldiers' tactical manual: When encountering a target that cannot be killed immediately, the first task is to limit or destroy the opponent's mobility.
The tree man without mobility is just a living tree wall with a lot of blood. The soldiers are least lacking in various explosives.
Thanks to the existence of crystal ore, the territory has a large amount of explosives for these soldiers to squander.
They sprinkled the powder in the explosives on the tree man, using these extremely flammable gunpowder as ignition, and then set the tree man's whole body on fire. After the steam engine ran out of power and pulled out the arc spear used to suppress the tree man, the grenadiers threw explosive packs into the exposed wound.
The flames will do the rest for them.
The battlefield was divided by a large number of soldiers and steam structures. The mixed-species troops that should have complemented each other's shortcomings were fighting on their own at this time.
After the battle, the mixed-species troops separated because of their different interests.
Humans and elves plundered property and spoils. They were eager to vent their desires and collect spoils that could show their status and wealth.
The tree people drew nutrients from the corpses on the battlefield. They needed to grow and nutrients. Flesh and blood were extremely rich supplements for the tree people.
And the trolls... the silly green monsters didn't know what they were going to do. They just wandered aimlessly on the streets following the footsteps of other races.
The mixed team of humans and elves was cleared in the high-temperature flow of the steam spiders. The tree people and trolls without the assistance of the auxiliary army were the perfect enemies in the eyes of the steam machine soldiers and grenadiers.
A large battlefield was cut into several small battlefields in the camp. The soldiers of the territory were completing their cleaning work in these small battlefields created by them.
Hackett focused his eyes on the tree people who had begun to burn in the distance. Its face was distorted in the flames and it let out a very harsh wail.
He lowered his head and took out the light crossbow hanging on his waist and held it in his hand.
He pulled the bowstring of the special light crossbow in his hand and put a new steel-tipped feather arrow on the rail.
The subhuman reconnaissance troops are equipped with two weapons, one is a silenced light crossbow, which is used to deal a fatal blow to unarmored enemies at medium and short distances. The other is a long-barreled breech-loading rifle like other soldiers. In order to facilitate the movement of the reconnaissance troops, this type of rifle has been reduced in weight.
It is more powerful and is responsible for directly killing targets at medium and long distances.
As rookies, they don’t have good accuracy in long-range sniping, so Hackett prefers to use this rifle as a superior alternative to the silent light crossbow.
The light crossbow has limited power and cannot help them solve all problems.
As long as the rifle uses shotgun shells, it will have the ability to penetrate light armor and kill soft targets at the same time. With single-headed bullets, its penetration ability will be further enhanced, and it can easily kill an enemy infantryman as long as it hits the torso.
It’s just that it makes too much noise every time it fires.
He quite likes this weapon as a substitute for the light crossbow in close combat, if the barrel can be shorter.
This rifle is one centimeter longer than the longbow he used.
Hackett looked at the small stone fortress in the camp not far away. It was originally the residence of the mage and the knight, and now it has become a temporary residence for the invaders’ command level.
The invaders successfully accepted all the achievements left by the cowards.
