Chapter 405 Life and Death Showdown
The Xiaowu Guards are elite soldiers who have received professional training in the new army's Zhu Biao and have extremely high combat skills.
In the fierce battle in this city corridor, they showed amazing tacit understanding and tactical coordination.
After the soldier in front fired his gun, he would quickly lower his gun and take a step back.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers behind raised their guns high and rushed forward to fill the position without hesitation.
This methodical rotation of shooting enabled them to maintain strong firepower suppression throughout the battle.
Basically, after two people take turns, the bullets can be fully loaded into the gun and continue to fight.
Facing them, Zhao Hong's army, due to the lack of guns, could only passively withstand the ruthless attack of hot weapons and retreat step by step.
Bullets are like messengers of death, ruthlessly reaping every life.
Faced with such powerful firepower, Zhao Hong's army was unable to fight back.
In this way, the Xiaowu Guards attacked all the way until they reached the hanging building.
The Xiaowuwei soldier who was rushing in the front suddenly shouted: "There are cannons ahead."
The soldiers who were preparing to shoot at the back heard the sound and looked over, only to see a tiger-shaped cannon pointed at them from the hanging building.
This is a corner with an arc-shaped angle.
It takes two breaths for the enemy's artillery to ignite and fire the shells.
Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone retreated hurriedly.
However, the shell still flew over mercilessly, hitting the city wall directly, then bounced back and fell into the retreating Xiaowu Guard team.
"boom……"
With a loud bang, three or four soldiers were blown to the ground in an instant.
Someone was lying on the ground, covered in blood and groaning in pain.
Before anyone could come forward to rescue him, blood spurted out of his mouth and then he stopped breathing.
Everyone continued to retreat, only to see another cannonball whizzing towards them, still hitting the city wall and then reflecting back.
However, this time it landed and exploded next to the soldier who had just died.
The already shattered body was hit again, and the ground was covered with red and yellow flesh and blood fragments. The whole person was in pieces, with not a single intact part.
Seeing this, Kou Xun, who was not far away, quietly stretched his head to look at the hanging building, and saw two tiger-barrel cannons facing him, and a large-caliber cannon was moving, with the muzzle slowly pointing at them.
"Not good!" Kou Xun was secretly shocked and shouted anxiously, "Quick, retreat out of the range of the artillery fire."
After shouting, everyone hurriedly evacuated.
But due to the large number of people, the retreat speed seemed a bit slow for a while.
The guard holding the dragon flag looked back and saw that the muzzle of the gun seemed to be still moving, pointing directly in the direction of him holding the flag.
He knew very well that if he continued walking like this, he would expose the position of the Xiaowu Guards, so he gritted his teeth, squatted down and stopped moving.
"boom……"
Not long after he squatted down, a cannonball flew over and hit the entrance of a battlement, sending bricks flying everywhere.
"Bang!" A stone hit his head, his eyes suddenly went black, and a warm liquid flowed down his cheek.
"Xiao Hu, Xiao Hu!"
A soldier holding a revolver rifle lowered his head and shouted while groping towards him anxiously.
Seeing Xiaohu's face covered in blood, a wound on his head, and unconscious leaning against the city wall, still holding the dragon flag tightly in his hand, the people who came shouted loudly: "Xiaohu..."
He hurried forward, gently put down the dragon flag, took out alcohol from his arms with trembling hands, carefully cleaned the wound, and bandaged Xiaohu with a bandage.
At this moment, another cannonball flew over and hit another battlement of the city wall.
"boom……"
Rocks flew up and one of them hit his back hard. He couldn't help but groan, secretly thanking his lucky star for the armor, otherwise he would have been seriously injured.
After bandaging the wound, he picked up a guard's helmet on the ground, gently put it on Xiaohu's head, and prepared to carry him away.
"wrong."
The soldier's heart shuddered as he suddenly heard the sound of someone coming. His nerves instantly tensed up. He gripped his rifle tightly and quickly moved to the side.
When I looked over, I saw that they were several enemies holding tiger cannons.
I saw some people carrying gun barrels and others dragging gun carriages.
Perhaps the corpses on the ground blocked their progress in pushing the Tiger Barrel Cannon, or perhaps the person carrying the barrel was moving too fast, causing the gun carriage to separate from the barrel.
The enemy was so close that there was no time to retreat. The guards raised their guns and fired without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang..."
After a few gunshots, those who were carrying the gun barrel, dragging the gun carriage, and even carrying the shells all fell to the ground.
The appearance of Zhao Hong's Tiger Barrel Cannon is almost the same as that of Xiao Wuwei's Tiger Barrel Cannon, except for the shells. However, the shells are in the mother-and-child tube, and he has no time to check them at the moment.
The personal guards quickly supported the gun barrel and gun carriage, adjusted the direction, and also used the principle of the rebound of the city wall to load a cannonball and fired decisively.
As to whether the shot hit anyone, the guards did not know, but a thick smoke rose from the spot after the shot was fired.
He pushed the cannon forward a few steps, but was blocked by a corpse. In desperation, he had to pick up the corpse and throw it behind the Tiger Barrel Cannon.
Judging from the shooting just now, the Tiger Barrel Cannon can fire at a distance of 400 steps, but the flat shot just now only reached about 300 steps.
He was now at least six hundred steps away from the large-caliber cannon, and he could only push the cannon to the closest position.
The Tiger Barrel Cannon had just moved a dozen steps when an explosion was heard behind it.
This means that the previous firing has exposed their position.
After moving a few more bodies, the cannon moved forward more than 200 steps and was about to reach the place where it was first bombed.
After thinking calmly for a while, the personal soldier suddenly pushed the cannon out resolutely, completely exposing it to another tiger barrel cannon.
Without waiting for the enemy to react, he lit the fuse and aimed at the tiger barrel cannon on the opposite side.
"Boom...ah..."
The tiger-barrel cannon suddenly overturned the tiger-barrel cannon on the opposite side, scaring the enemy so much that they screamed and fled in all directions.
The large-caliber artillery was at a distance and was not affected at all.
However, they were really shocked by the sudden attack. When they reacted, they quickly adjusted the muzzle of the gun and prepared to bombard the position of the personal guards.
"I'll kill you first..."
The recruit moved his legs and muttered to himself.
As he ran, he took out a grenade from the bag around his waist.
A distance of four hundred steps would take at least two hundred breaths to run.
The opposite side was adjusting the gun position, and the gun barrel was lowered lower and lower.
When there were still more than a hundred steps to go, seeing that the enemy was about to fire, the enemy soldier holding the fire stick had already raised his hand.
The bodyguards pointed their guns at the man holding the tinder, running and shooting desperately.
After pulling the trigger three times in succession, he finally knocked down the man holding the tinderbox. Unexpectedly, when the man fell, the tinderbox hit the ammunition box and ignited the shells stored inside.
"Rumble..."
The sound was earth-shattering. The submachine gun ammunition was equivalent to a small cannon, but without a barrel. The projectile burst out directly, hitting the gun carriage and splashing everywhere...
The personal guards who were a hundred steps away stopped when they saw this, and the subsequent explosion made him see a scene like fairies scattering flowers.
When he fully recovered from his shock, several comrades behind him supported his body.
