Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Some people said that luck was even more unreliable than the morning mist. Although you could see him everywhere, trying to control him was just wishful thinking. Sometimes, after a breeze, one's luck would completely disappear.

Right now, the mist of luck that had been lingering around Xiao Letian finally could not withstand the fierce wind that was blowing towards him from the Austria, and gradually started to disappear.

From the very beginning, Xiao Letian felt that something was amiss. First of all, the density of the cannons had decreased, and would only fire five or six cannons in five or six minutes at most, as if Austrian was showing off how many cannons there were.

Right after that was the abnormal movements of the enemy troops, through the field of vision of the telescope, the east and west flanks obviously had a thicker formation, it seemed like the Austrian was going to choose a new break through.

Just as he was carefully observing the changes in the battlefield, he suddenly discovered that the whistling sound of the artillery shell cutting across the sky had changed. The piercing sound of the artillery shell cutting through the sky had actually become somewhat silent, and the whistling sound of the artillery shell falling to the ground had strangely disappeared.

"Not good? Did the enemy change cannons? Could it be that Austrian still has a trump card in his hand? "

It was impossible for Xiao Letian to see that behind the Austrian Army's heavy infantry formation, Wen Sente had already become the actual commander of the artillery. Under his orders, one by one, the cannons were dismantled and placed into the pits that were just dug.

"Set up the cannon and charge up at a 45 degree angle. Today, I will teach you how to fire a mortar round …" You, you, you, and you, are all trash? Didn't you learn trigonometric functions in the artillery academy? We have given you the data of the enemy's position, as well as the shooting speed and the straight line distance of our cannons.

"Bring me all the ammunition. The Division Commander has ordered that we must take down the position for this attack. Otherwise, we will all be court-martialed!"

Wen Sente was running back and forth in his shooting position like a madman. He would rush to his shooting position to help raise the morale and change the parameters, and then rush to the tall wooden watchtower to observe the results of the shot with his telescope.

Xiao Letian felt that the strange firing was actually not a real shooting at all. The reason the Austrian Army's firing rate was so slow was because they were adjusting the angle of firing. Countless of artillery majors and graduates were meticulously calculating and trying their best to improve the shooting accuracy.

When Xiao Letian heard the change in the sound of the artillery shell breaking in the sky, Wen Sente had already helped the whole team finish their final round.

"The cannons are truly worthy of being called the god of war. We artillery will forever be the kings of our various armies. The future is ours, and victory belongs to us as well … God will bless us... "Fire!"

Following Wen Sente's command, over seventy field cannons roared and tons of steel were launched into the air, drawing high trajectory as they fought against the Earth's gravity.

The moment the energy from the cannonball was exhausted, the gravitational force from the ground caused them to rush towards the ground at a vertical angle, towards their target, the special mix camp's trench.

"This is bad …" "Hurry up and evacuate …" Xiao Letian subconsciously let out a loud roar, just at this time, a cannonball accurately struck his headquarters, the flames and smoke from the explosion instantly covered the entire fortifications.

It was as if thousands of bees were singing in Xiao Letian's ears. When he shook his head and looked up, he discovered that the thick and heavy roof of the headquarters had already been blown apart, leaving only the last layer of wooden stakes behind. Through the cracks, he could see the blue sky and the trajectory of the birds flying in the air.

Xiao Letian used all of his strength to crawl back up. He pushed away the hand that Dragon Lord was supporting him with, and once again laid on the side of the trench and looked down.

It was only now that Xiao Letian truly realized that he had used up all of his good luck.

Wen Sente was indeed a talented person, the results of this round of artillery barrages were more than the sum of the previous rounds. Countless cannonballs flew straight into the trench from the sky, and the exploding airwaves and shockwaves created countless corpses one after another. Countless soldiers who were hiding in the dead corner were blown to death on the spot.

The change in trajectory greatly improved the shooting accuracy. In the past, when shooting straight, more than ten rounds of artillery shells could hit the trenches. But now, nearly forty percent of the artillery shells could actually hit the interior of the trenches.

Luckily Xiao Letian had prepared three parallel trenches today. Fortunately he had ordered his troops to be scattered in order to reduce the density, which prevented the whole army from collapsing.

"Disperse... Scattered … "Don't get together..." Xiao Letian shook his numb head, and spoke in an inhuman whisper.

At this time, the brothers in the trenches had all gone mad. All the officers had forgotten to dodge as they moved back and forth in the trenches. Not only did they need to cheer for everyone, they also needed to treat the injured.

"Don't be afraid, the enemy's ammunition is almost used up, their cannons won't last long …"

"Hold on, take out your courage. You've already killed three waves of enemy troops. You're now honorable veterans. Don't discredit the word 'veterans' …"

"Brothers, we have endured for an hour and a half. The brothers of Second Corps will arrive soon, and the victory will belong to us …"

Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun's mouths were filled with a thick bitterness. They were both from Heaven veterans and had muddled along on the battlefield since young, so they had an intuition towards danger.

The Austrian was not an easy opponent, and was also an old European military power. Everyone relied on new strategy and tactics, coupled with advanced weapons, to take advantage of each other in the short term, but the fact that they were outnumbered wouldn't change at all. Even if the special mix camp had already eliminated close to three thousand Austrian Army, they were still outnumbered.

"Lord …" Lord, look at the headquarters! What is the prime minister gesticulating at us? Look, the Dragon Lord is rushing over … " Under the warning of the soldier beside him, Xiao Hexin saw Xiao Letian's anxious face and the figure of the Dragon Lord which was quickly approaching him.

At that time, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun felt a chill on their backs. He can make the Dragon Lord leave and come here personally? Without another word, the two leaped onto the earthen platform, their heads peeking out from the edge of the trench amid the roar of gunfire.

It turned out that behind the smoke, a group of Austria cavalry soldiers were rushing towards the trench at high speeds. Moreover, they were all holding square bags in their hands.

"Damn it!" The enemy's grenadier came up … They're going to attack with an explosive package... "The snipers are in position, we can't let them get close …"

This was truly the most critical moment. The rain of cannonballs had not stopped yet, and the sinister looking cavalry in front of the trench was taking the risk of accidental injury to quickly approach. It was obvious how much capital Austrian had invested this time.

Although the three of them loved to cause trouble, they had the best marksmanship. Si Diwen, Dan Nier and Grant stood on the ground with their rifles, and they were shocked when their heads popped out.

"Oh my god, the Austrian is crazy, why did they send cavalry to charge without stopping their cannons? Fire, fire, fire … " As the sharpshooters in the trenches desperately shot, the opposing cavalry soldiers fell off their horses one by one and were stomped into mud by the horses' hooves behind them.

Right now, the battlefield had become a chaotic one, the bombs falling from the sky had exploded everywhere, regardless of whether the enemy was here or not. All of the soldiers in the trenches, the charging horses were under huge threat, the bullets shooting through the bodies of the special mix camp brothers, the shock wave from the explosions overturned the war horses one after another.

Austrian was really crazy, these cavalry soldiers were shouting the slogan "Long live the King" as they rushed forward with red eyes. When they were about 40 metres away from the trench, which was where the broken limbs were spread all over, they ignited and threw out explosives.

"I have avenged my brothers …" Destroy this group of Chinese people, kill all of these Prussian... "Long live!" After throwing the explosives, the cavalry turned their horses around and started to move parallel to the edge of the trench. These fanatical cavalry soldiers were not done throwing the explosives, they actually took up their lances and shot at the soldiers in the trench.

A small explosive device was thrown out at a distance of 40 metres. The accuracy of the item used was beyond belief, the lethality of the item was truly shocking, special mix camp had already sacrificed over 100 of his brothers in just a few moments.

"Hahaha …" Great, great, this is the power of us Austria Warriors, we pay our respects to you all! " The Old Count behind him was all smiles as he sat on his horse and saluted to the riders who had risked their lives on the battlefield.

"Are you Chinese stupid? It is impossible to rely on your own intelligence. War is all about strength, the size of our thornbush gardener's twelve thousand people is not for show … Hahaha, Xiao Letian, how are you prepared to deal with this? You bunch of cowards, how can you all deal with them? "

All of the Austrian Army were excited, the correct strategy was to bring about the hope of victory, the depressed morale that was created from the desperate charge just now, had finally started to gradually recover.

"What should we do? What do we do now? " Even Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun were helpless. There were only 700 people in the two special mix camp s and in just 10 minutes, they had lost more than 200 people. There was no way to fight this battle anymore.

Just at that moment, Dragon Lord was as agile as a black panther as he charged towards the outermost trench, arriving before the two Battalion Commanders.

"The Prime Minister has an order! "You two are bastards …" Dragon Lord's roar had actually managed to suppress the sound of the artillery shell exploding. The veins on his neck were popping out uncontrollably as his eyes turned red.

"The lord is scolding you! Even if the lord is injured, he's scolding you!" You two are bastards, are you used to fighting by the wind? Have you guys gotten hold of the guns for too long? Have you forgotten how to take the knives? "

"Enemy cavalry taking the risk of accidental injury dares to rush up and throw out explosive packets, why don't you guys countercharge! Attack! At worst, we'll just die. Even if we die, we can't lose our morale … All of the Chinese officer s took the lead and charged out, killing all of these cavalrymen. "

Xiao Hexin excitedly pulled down his army cap and threw it on the ground. He picked up the Mauser's rifle that was filled with sharp blades and shouted, "All New Army officers gather immediately and form a death squadron … "Charge back and kill these cavalrymen!"

Sima Yun was going crazy too. He tugged at his collar and took a deep breath: "The Prussian recruits, now is the time for you to repay your kindness to your motherland. The Austrian wants to kill us all, what do you think we should do?"

"Blood for blood, life for life … Kill one to make enough, kill two to make one … "Long live Prussia!" Countless Prussian army s were shouting war proverbs in the east. Like a group of ferocious tigers, they charged out of the trenches and rushed towards the mighty cavalry.
