Chapter 175 Perfect Ambush
In fact, the Martial God Empire did not intend to tell the Xuanling Empire about this method of using trench warfare.
However, in view of the fact that the royal army received too little ammunition, even with the support of troops, it may not be able to defeat the parliamentary army.
In addition, the firepower of both sides has become very strong after receiving the arms of the Valkyrie Empire. Every war between the royal army and the parliamentary army may have laid the foundation for the outcome of this civil strife!
Therefore, in order to make the civil war of the Xuanling Empire more protracted and consume more of the Xuanling Empire's national power in the battle, Su Chen decided to tell the royal army about the method of digging trenches.
Although both sides will greatly reduce the casualties of their soldiers because of the emergence of trenches.
But in this way, the capital invested by the royal army and the parliamentary army in this war will also increase accordingly.
You know, the ammunition they use, whether it is the bullets of the semi-automatic rifle or the TNT shells of the land artillery, all need to be purchased from the Valkyrie Empire!
The royal army and the parliamentary army spent more capital, but it was the Valkyrie Empire who benefited in the end!
This kind of result of harming others and benefiting oneself is Su Chen's real goal!
At the same time, ten miles to the west of Tianyue City.
Under Ye Xize's order, a small parliamentary army of 50,000 people was preparing to harass Tianyue City.
These 50,000 soldiers are all cavalry, and the value of the horses they ride is even twice that of the semi-automatic rifles in their hands.
In their view, the weapons of the royal army in Tianyue City were backward, even if they only had 50,000 people, they were enough to kill all the soldiers of the royal army.
Even if their whereabouts would be discovered by the ancestors of the royal family in Tianyue City, as soon as they finished fighting, they would run away. With the speed of their horses, they could escape back to the range protected by the council before the enemy caught up.
At this time, Tianyue City had already appeared at the end of the field of vision of the 50,000 parliamentary soldiers.
In their eyes, the gates of Moon City were wide open that day, and there were still a large number of soldiers of the Royal Army going in and out of the gates of Tianyue City.
Seeing this, the faces of these parliamentary soldiers showed joy.
Unexpectedly, the royal army was so careless, without the guard of the city gate, the royal army would be lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
These 50,000 parliamentary soldiers thought so in their hearts, they slapped their horses again, and galloped towards Tianyue City.
However, with a distance of several miles, they couldn't find the trenches in front of Tianyue City at all.
Under the special order of the Minister of Military Affairs, these trenches were buried very concealed.
In front of most trenches, there is a natural leeward slope. With the shelter of these leeward slopes, the originally inconspicuous trenches are like wearing an invisible coat, which is difficult for outsiders to see.
At the same time, in the six rows of trenches to the west of Tianyue City, the soldiers of the Royal Army's First Army and Second Army were all at war, and their semi-automatic rifles were raised by them.
Their fingers are tightly attached to the triggers of the semi-automatic rifles, and their pupils are also in line with the machine-sighting device on the semi-automatic rifles. They can aim at the parliamentary soldiers in the distance at any time, and pull the trigger to complete the shooting. !
With the passage of time, the 50,000 parliamentary soldiers had entered within two miles of Tianyue City, and they were only one mile away from the trenches where the Royal Army's first and second troops were located.
And this is already within the effective range of a semi-automatic rifle!
Therefore, the soldiers of the royal army in the six rows of trenches all poked their heads out, and their positions were staggered. While avoiding accidentally injuring friendly troops, it also greatly increased the density of firepower coverage!
The 200,000 soldiers fired together, and the bullets, like a storm of metal, surged out instantly, turning into a hail of bullets and falling near the 50,000 parliamentary soldiers!
In an instant, countless horses were killed by the flying bullets, and the soldiers of the parliamentary army on the horses also fell to the ground along with the death of the horses.
However, they did not escape unharmed, and the stray bullets that followed quickly shot and killed these parliamentary soldiers who fell to the ground!
In addition to these parliamentary soldiers, more parliamentary soldiers were even riding on their horses, and their heads had been shot through by the howling stray bullets, and the horses under their crotches were shot to death!
In just a few dozen breaths, more than 20,000 of the 50,000 parliamentary soldiers died under the continuous gunshots!
"Damn it! There's an ambush!"
"Insidious and cunning royal army! Where did these guys come from? It's like seeing a ghost!"
"Fuck, why does this royal army have semi-automatic rifles?!"
"Yeah, where did the semi-automatic rifles of the Royal Army come from? Could it be that they were seized from our dead Pao Ze?!"
"Impossible, these royal troops are at least over 100,000 people, we didn't have so many dead!"
"Are you fools, is this the time to discuss this?! Run away!"
"Help, help!"
"Ah, I got shot!"
The soldiers of the parliamentary army shouted frantically. After knowing that they were invincible, they all controlled the horses under their crotches, turned around and retreated.
However, in this extremely chaotic scene, if there is any unexpected situation, there will often be a long series of casualties!
Just like the team of ten in front, among them, the head of the horse of the parliamentary army soldier in the second place was pierced by the flying bullet, and the horse also turned upright and turned sideways.
This overturn was terrible, and the eight parliamentary soldiers behind him were less than five meters away from him. Under the sudden rollover of this parliamentary soldier, the eight parliamentary soldiers behind all had rear-end rear-end collisions. Get people off their backs!
And when they fell to the ground, they lost all chance of surviving.
Countless stray bullets flew from a distance, penetrated their bodies, and took away their vitality!
Although some of these parliamentary soldiers raised their semi-automatic rifles to resist, but under the volley of 200,000 soldiers of the royal army, they were battered by countless stray bullets in an instant!
Just in the process of these parliamentary soldiers turning around and fleeing, more than 20,000 of these parliamentary soldiers died under stray bullets and trampled incidents caused by chaos.
You must know that although war horses can make these parliamentary soldiers move faster, the trampling incident after they turned their backs on their backs is also one of the important factors that make these parliamentary soldiers die in battle!
It has only been five or six minutes since the soldiers of the royal army opened fire.
However, there are less than 8,000 people left in the 50,000 small parliamentary army!
But the 200,000 royal army soldiers had less than 50 casualties!
Such a casualty ratio is already the lowest since the civil strife in the Xuanling Empire, and this ambush battle is considered perfect in the eyes of these royal army officers and soldiers!
