Chapter 370 Battle of Hulun River

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of explosions echoed across the grassland.

Not only the Right Khan, but even the steppe bandit soldiers under his command were terrified. At this moment, these steppe bandit soldiers were all pale-faced, staring at the dense black dots in the sky, their expressions filled with fear.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless shells landed and exploded on the grassland.

The explosion sent dirt flying everywhere, and some grassland bandit soldiers were killed on the spot, their blood splattering and their flesh mangled!

In a short period of time, the entire grassland bandit camp has lost nearly half of its men!

The number of dead and injured is as high as 10,000 to 20,000!

Keep in mind that less than half an hour has passed since the start of the battle. The fact that such a terrifying casualty rate has been incurred in such a short time is understandably shocking to all the grassland bandit soldiers.

At this moment, the Right Khan was completely stunned.

Only now did the Right Khan realize why the Great Khan of the royal court had ordered them to evacuate.

These big shots are actually quite formidable!

No wonder the Left Khan's troops and the main force of the royal court were completely annihilated and severely damaged by the Da Gan Army!

But it's too late to realize this now.

Seeing the horrific scene on the battlefield, the Right Khan felt a sense of despair.

This can no longer be described as a battle; it was a complete one-sided crushing defeat by a large army!

These massive troops are incredibly powerful!

The grassland bandits were no match for them at all!

Just then, a series of shouts came from afar.

A dull sound echoed across the wilderness.

As soon as the Right Khan looked up, he saw a large number of soldiers rushing along the grassland toward the Hulun River and Lake Bel.

The massive, dark army, clad in cyan-blue uniforms, stood out starkly against the green grassland. Like a surge of cyan-blue water rising from a vast green sea, they crashed towards them with overwhelming force.

However, a dense barrage of artillery shells continued to fire from the sky.

"this……"

In an instant, the Right Khan was stunned. He stared at the scene in the sky and murmured, "Aren't these soldiers afraid of being blown up by their own cannons? Are they even human?"

What the Right Khan was unaware of was that this was a subject that the Great Gan Army frequently trained in—infantry-artillery coordinated operations!

Under artillery cover, the infantry charge!

This is the most basic tactical subject!

Although it is somewhat simple, all infantry divisions of the six major military regions of the entire Dagan Army are undergoing such training thanks to their strong willpower and rigorous training.

And this tactic is always successful!

Artillery fire! Infantry charge!

After the artillery fires, the infantry charge!

Like a tidal wave, the large number of soldiers gradually approached the banks of the Hulun River.

At this moment, the artillery of the distant army finally ceased its bombardment.

The sky over the entire grassland gradually became clear.

With the thunderous roar of cannons gone, the Right Khan's tense mood gradually calmed down. Looking at the situation on the distant battlefield, the Right Khan took a deep breath and said, "Heh heh, the Da Gan army has finally stopped firing!"

"Khan, Khan, look!"

Just then, a bandit soldier from the grasslands pointed into the distance and reminded them, "Those big army soldiers are almost at the Hulun River!"

"Yeah?"

The Right Khan looked up at the scene in the distance, his eyes lighting up. He said, "Heh heh, it's finally our turn to show our power! With the Hulun River blocking our way, it's a natural barrier. I want to see how these Da Gan soldiers cross the river! Tell the warriors at the front to fire arrows at them! Make sure they don't get across the river!"

"yes!"

His trusted confidants quickly responded.

After the order was relayed, the grassland bandits throughout the Hulun River and Lake Bel area shook off the mud from their bodies. Looking at the large army soldiers across the river, these grassland bandits gripped their bows and arrows, nocked them, and aimed at the large army soldiers on the opposite bank.

"Hahaha, it's finally time for us to unleash our power!"

A bandit leader from the grasslands burst into loud laughter.

Although the Hulun River is not wide, only about a hundred meters wide, and not very deep either—warhorses could easily wade across it in normal times—it is undeniable that one cannot travel quickly in the river.

The Hulun River, which is about 100 meters wide, will also become the graveyard of these soldiers!

Upon hearing this, the grassland bandits burst into laughter.

He held the bow and arrow, aiming at the distance.

However, at that moment, these grassland bandits were shocked to see a large number of soldiers on the opposite bank of the river building something.

On the other side, countless soldiers arrived at the riverbank, carrying their weapons, and waded across the water.

Seeing this, the grassland bandit leader sneered and said, "These big army soldiers don't take us seriously at all! Heh! Archers, prepare!"

However, just as the grassland bandit leader finished speaking, he was startled to see clusters of faint lights flashing across the river.

Before I could even figure out what those lights were, I heard a series of urgent sounds.

The sound was like an old piece of cloth being torn apart by someone.

Sizzle—

What is that sound?

Just as they were wondering what was going on, a dense hail of bullets came flying toward them from afar.

Da da da!

Da da da!

The Yanning Type 1 machine gun began to roar wildly, and a dense hail of bullets rained down like a storm, enveloping the bandit positions on the grassland.

Before the grassland bandit archers, who stood in neat, dense formations, could react, they fell in rows like ripe wheat meeting a sickle.

Da da da!

Da da da!

The terrifying sound of machine guns raged along the Hulun River. Rows of bullets swept across the land, instantly killing hundreds, even thousands, of grassland bandit soldiers.

The entire grassland bandit camp was shocked!

this……

What kind of firearm is this?

How can it be so amazing!

The grassland bandit leader stared wide-eyed, his heart filled with horror!

He never expected that the weapons and equipment of these large army soldiers would be so powerful.

Despite being separated by a river, and at such a great distance, they were able to kill so many grassland bandits in such a short time.

These weapons are like scythes that reap lives!

"Archers! Fire! Fire!"

Seeing this, the grassland bandit leader roared hysterically.

The grassland bandits' archers along the Hulun River released their grip. Arrows flew from their bows, heading straight for the Da Gan army soldiers.

Most of the arrows fell into the river.

While some arrows occasionally struck the soldiers of the main force, they did not cause much casualties.
