"d.a.m.n it!" Ren Baqian swore and looked at the opposite side through the night vision device.
When he used to go to work, Ren Baqian would rarely curse anyone. However, he was now becoming more and more like a broken record. He didn"t care about his image anymore and cursed however he liked.
How many of the 4,000 sect pract.i.tioners could he shoot with his machine gun? Those pract.i.tioners weren"t fools and had legs that were similar to wheels. It would be considered impressive if he could kill a few hundred of them after firing all of the bullets.
Looking through the night vision device, he could only see patches of yellow and red heat sources moving rapidly in this direction.
Bang bang bang! The machine gun that was set up on the ground spurted out a tongue of flame and a line of bullets that looked like a long metallic dragon, opening a path in the crowd. All of a sudden, the Great Xia pract.i.tioners were shredded to pieces.
Ren Baqian pressed and held the trigger, shaking the muzzle left and right before the bullets scattered out at a small angle.
A row of red dots in the night vision device suddenly fell over. Some of the powerful experts deflected the bullets with the weapons in their hands whereas those slightly weaker ones were chopped into half.
After a round of firing, the other party momentarily stopped in their tracks.
This ferocious round of firing had scared the wits out of them.
"The opponent"s concealed weapon is very powerful. Disperse!" someone in the crowd shouted loudly, and just like how farmers let sheep out to pasture, everyone dispersed in no time.
Similar to the sport of gliding, some people jumped a few meters high and then floated a distance away.
Some of them pushed off from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the crowd.
In addition, there were others acting like apes and monkeys. They did a few somersaults in the air and landed outside of the crowd. After that, they fled into the distance.
Also, there were people lying on their stomachs who, like a lizards, crawled at a speed that was just as fast as running.
Ren Baqian used the night vision device to look at the situation. He then fired at the place that had the greatest number of enemy soldiers.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The gunshots paused for a dozen seconds before ringing out again.
After using four ammunition belts, Ren Baqian looked at the guard beside him, who was still stuffing bullets into an empty ammunition belt. The rate of fire was much faster than the rate of reloading bullets.
Next, he adjusted the angle of the mortar toward a densely populated place and fired. As there were too many people over on the enemy"s side, there were still places that were congested with people.
Boom! Boom! Two explosions went off as dozens of people were blown up.
Ren Baqian consecutively fired eight mortar sh.e.l.ls before the other party found out how to tackle the problem.
"Beware of your heads. Once a "boom" is heard, something will drop from the sky after 20 to 30 seconds.
"d.a.m.n it! Such geniuses," Ren Baqian immediately cursed after hearing what the enemy said.
After he cursed, he fired two shots in the direction of where that voice came from. In the distance, he could see people running for their lives while simultaneously looking at the sky. Some of them felt that it was too crowded in the vicinity and decided to run further away.
"It"s above your heads! Run quickly!"
Boom!
Following the explosion, it wasn"t only the targets of the bombing that were affected. People in other places were affected as well, scattering like birds and beasts.
The sky was quite dark and it was already fairly late when the mortar sh.e.l.ls were found, so there were still some soldiers that couldn"t run out of the explosion range. However, the casualties were indeed much lower, with two explosions killing only ten people at most.
The distance of 1,000 meters was shortened to 300 meters in less than a minute.
Thousands of people were shouting about killing the barbarian dogs on the other side and rus.h.i.+ng toward Ren Baqian"s position at the same time. Currently, they weren"t going to rescue the Great Xia soldiers in the woods anymore. Instead, their brains were filled with thoughts of killing the person who operated the concealed weapons.
At least three or four hundred people had been killed or injured, and the eyes of the survivors were filled with anger.
"Sir Li..." Ren Baqian miserably turned his head and looked at Li Qianqiu. Subsequently, he saw that Li Qianqiu"s d*ck was erect and as upright as a road sign.
Ren Baqian was dumbfounded.
This is war! Why are you so excited? Are you into masochism?
In the past, I still thought that you were loyal, considerate, and reliable. Never would I have expected this...
At this moment, his impression of Li Qianqiu fell from the clouds to the depths of the earth. Immediately, Li Qianqiu was labelled as a pervert by Ren Baqian.
"Sir!" someone shouted from a distance. Then, a few hundred winged cavalry warriors came out of the forest, surrounding Ren Baqian and the others.
There was still a portion of the winged cavalry dealing with the routed Great Xia soldiers in the forest, but about 500 winged cavalry warriors came out from the forest and were prepared to intercept the pract.i.tioners from the Great Xia sects.
Only eight minutes had pa.s.sed since the surprise attack, but the battle in the woods was coming to an end.
Great Xia had yet to form into their battle formations, had not made sufficient preparations, and did not have an advantage in terms of the strength of their army. Under such situations, they were like sheep in front of the winged cavalry, who were all at least at the Earth Wheel level.
Ren Baqian could finally heave a sigh of relief after seeing these winged cavalry warriors. Now, even if he took off the night vision device, he could already see the figures of the Great Xia pract.i.tioners. Each and every one of them were holding different types of weapons in their hands, and like wild dogs, they charged toward the winged cavalry with bloodshot eyes.
It was obvious that their minds were only filled with the thought of tearing the winged cavalry into pieces.
A few minutes later, the winged cavalry ran into those Great Xia pract.i.tioners.
The flickering of the sword gleams, the miserable screams, and the sound of weapons clas.h.i.+ng immediately emerged.
"Earth Wheel experts! They are all Earth Wheel experts!"
"It"s the winged cavalry!"
The Great Xia pract.i.tioners cried out in alarm as they were met by the quiet, yet merciless, winged cavalry.
However, among these Great Xia pract.i.tioners, there were quite a few Earth Wheel experts. At the very least, there were 300 of them. Even though they wouldn"t be able to match up with the winged cavalry when fighting one-on-one, they were able to delay the winged cavalry from further attacks with the a.s.sistance of the other soldiers.
Some of the more skillful experts jumped into battle formations.
Obviously, the person inside the battle formation would be the most important person. As the saying went, "Capture the ringleader before capturing the underlings."
It wasn"t only one person who thought this way.
Ren Baqian spat out a mouthful.
"Do all of you think that this thing is used to shoot ground targets? This is an air defence machine gun!"
Ren Baqian was fuming with anger. He ruthlessly lifted the machine gun and aimed at a silhouette in the air.
Bang bang bang!
Clang, clang,clang!
Sparks flew in all direction. That silhouette twisted and turned in the air incessantly, and a pair of sabers in that person"s hands glittered with countless sparks.
"Sh*t!" While aiming at the silhouette with the machine gun and spraying bullets, a thought immediately flashed through his mind that the other party"s weapon was definitely not something ordinary. Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to deflect the numerous bullets fired by the machine gun.
In the past, some people felt that their movements were very fast, but in the end, they all ended up with broken sabers. Currently, he had already fired off half an ammunition belt of bullets, but apart from dodging some bullets, the other party had deflected at least dozens of bullets with those sabers of his. Ren Baqian felt that he had encountered a treasure, and he definitely had to grab it from the other party later on.
Ren Baqian looked as the man brandis.h.i.+ng his sabers got farther and farther away from him while getting higher and higher above the ground from deflecting the bullets...
Ren Baqian felt that if he had unlimited bullets, he would have shot this person up to the moon.
Clang! Finally, that man failed to deflect the bullets and one of his legs broke. After that, he fell from the air while letting out a tragic scream.
Just like shooting clay pigeons, Ren Baqian fired the machine gun once again. An explosion occurred in midair and blood spurted out. What was left of the other party were only bits and pieces of his body.
Ren Baqian remembered the place where that man fell, waited for a while, then went to retrieve his sabers.
"Hah!" Li Qianqiu picked up his huge axe, jumped up, and advanced toward a pract.i.tioner that was approaching him. He then struck him with his axe.
Upon seeing the axe, which looked like a door, heading toward him, seven swords instantly appeared in the other party"s hands. Each sword struck at the surface of Li Qianqiu"s axe as a tremendous force was transmitted into his hand.
It was as if Li Qianqiu didn"t sense anything. The trajectory of his enormous axe didn"t change, and he directly hacked the other party in half.
After that, the axe was thrown out horizontally, travelling and streaking across the air in a straight line before chopping an expert, who was pouncing toward Ren Baqian, in half. Blood started raining down everywhere, and Ren Baqian"s entire face was splashed with blood.
Ren Baqian loaded another ammunition belt and continued to use the machine gun. His eyes were red with anger, and he would shoot the person who jumped the highest!
In the proximity, there were blood-curdling cries and the sounds of close quarters combat. Occasionally, severed heads and limbs flew about. In addition, there was also the yelling and cursing of those who had lost their family members and friends. All this had a great influence on Ren Baqian, causing him to shudder with excitement and flare up with an aura of death.
The machine gun finally played the role that it should have played long ago.
