The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 196 Overcoming this Hurdle

The wooden oars that came with the log rafts were also very simple. They looked like they were made from tree branches. Some of them even had leaves on them, adding a different touch of color to the battlefield.

The swaying of the wooden oars showed that the rowers had tried their best to hide themselves, and it was no longer so easy to attack them.

The raft continued to move forward and once again approached the newly marked attack line. Since the demon hunter rifle had scales on its scope, it could measure the distance very well, so the demon hunter did not need any flares or other commands.

At a hundred meters, they no longer need a scope. They can just aim along the long barrel and hit the densely packed enemies on the raft.

Unlike the crisp sound of a rifle, the latest version of the demon hunting rifle is equipped with a muzzle brake. The sound is dull but loud, and sounds like thunder in the sky from a distance.

Muffled rumbling sounds came from the battle line, and the Viscount on the other side of the river was stunned. Not only that, the demon hunters and rifle soldiers were also stunned for a moment.

Since the demon hunting rifle was "invented", although it was named as a demon hunting rifle, its main target enemies were magicians and monsters. When necessary, it could even be used in conjunction with demon-breaking bullets to forcibly kill magicians who had opened their shields.

But apart from being extremely powerful on the training grounds, the Demon Hunting Rifle has also been used to kill several Cyclops, but it is a rare opportunity to use it. The bullets are difficult to make, the rifling of the barrel wears out quickly, and the cost of firing a shot is too high. It can't be used to shoot birds.

Therefore, apart from a small amount of live-fire training, the demon hunting rifle snipers mostly accompany the synchronized riflemen to participate in live-fire training using rifles to enhance their gun sense. There is no other way around it.

But today, the debut of the demon hunting rifle, which can attack heavily shielded enemies at short range, really surprised everyone on both sides of the war.

The Brocade Empire's fine iron shields were indeed powerful, able to block powerful rifle bullets without injuring the soldiers holding the shields. This made the soldiers of the Brocade Empire somewhat proud and relaxed, including the Viscount on the other side of the river.

But after the demon hunting rifle was fired, the situation was completely different.

When the bullet from the demon hunting rifle hit the fine iron shield, the process of being blocked had already generated a huge force, but before the fine iron shield could swing back and injure the warrior holding the shield, the bullet had already penetrated the fine iron shield.

It was not just one enemy that fell. The log rafts made for quick crossing of the river were very large, providing ample buoyancy and stability. Each raft was almost packed with soldiers of the Brocade Empire.

A shot from the demon hunting rifle caused the shield to fly backwards and hit the enemies behind the raft. The enemies behind the shield collapsed on the raft without even having the chance to scream.

Unlike rifles that kill paddling enemies, soon after the demon hunting rifle was fired, the river water on the south side of the raft was visibly filled with blood.

At this moment, the demon hunters could no longer care about so many things, because there was a riot on the raft and the rifle soldiers had already opened fire. If anyone was cowardly at this time, it would not be a matter of cowardice itself.

Their families were among the residents of the three tribes in Cattail City, and their relatives were among the one-third of the elves who fell in the Elf Forest. Could cowardice win the sympathy of humans? Would it prevent them from being laughed at by the residents of the three tribes?

The dwarf warriors and halfling warriors around them have already opened fire, what about them!

An elven demon hunter raised his head and roared, then pushed the bolt as if he had used up all his strength. After taking aim, a bullet from the demon hunter once again created a deadly gap on a log raft.

The elf warrior would roar every time he fired a shot, but after he used up one magazine and replaced it with another, he realized that his throat had been broken and he could not roar anymore for the time being.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes red as he began to load the bullet numbly, firing one shot after another, continuously.

Massive deaths began on the log rafts, and the warriors on them were in panic because the heavy iron shields they trusted and were proud of could no longer bring them a sense of security.

The holes in the heavy shields and their fallen masters, the line of casualties, and the warriors knocked down by rifles from time to time caused the elite soldiers of the Brocade Empire to collapse.

"Hurry up and jump into the river! Everyone jump into the river...!"

A soldier who was pushed into the water in the chaos looked at his comrades who were dying one after another and the scarlet river water around him. He finally reacted and shouted loudly.

Intelligent life has a strong desire to survive. Jumping into the river and reminding other soldiers to jump into the river became the main theme on the river.

Feng Yu's legs began to wobble as he watched the tragedy unfold on the river. However, as he watched the soldiers who were still firing, he managed a wry smile and said with relief, "Soldiers, we have overcome this hurdle!"

After a long while, Bo Rui whispered, "Yes!"

At this time, there were no enemies on the large log rafts of the first echelon on the river. Some of the soldiers who fell into the water were clinging to the edge of the log rafts, while others were floating in the cold river water, all with dull eyes.

Feng Yu said to the messenger who had returned to the wooden platform, "Tell the soldiers not to waste bullets on those who fall into the water, and attack the second wave of enemies without shields.

If anyone swims to the shore and shouts surrender, he will not be killed."

What's the point of not surrendering? How many people can swim to the shore carrying heavy weapons? If you come here empty-handed, you're just delivering food!

Even if they swam to the shore with their weapons on their backs, they had to know that the shore was still thirty meters away from the battle line of Cattail City.

Why do we have to set up a defense line at a distance of 30 meters? It is because at 30 meters, a revolver can kill the enemy quickly and effectively. 30 meters is also the best attack distance for a fragmentation grenade.

If they don't move and wait to be captured, they may have a chance of survival. If they resist stubbornly, they and those around them will die.

The Brocade Empire suffered a great loss. The Viscount who led the operation found that the enemy had deployed defenses on the other side of the river. He wanted to achieve success in one battle, so he adopted a strategy similar to that of Cattail City, stretching the battle line to disperse large-scale breakthroughs.

To put it simply, it formed two waves of attacks one after another. The first wave was a raft of shield warriors and dagger crossbowmen, which were arranged in a straight line and pressed towards the entire defense line of Cattail City.

The second wave of attack was the archer rafts carrying war horses. Originally, the distance between the two waves of rafts was about 500 meters.

However, a lot of time was wasted when the first wave of shield warriors' rafts were blocked and they continued the attack.

Although the log rafts were moving very slowly, the log rafts in the second row still managed to get to a position more than 300 meters from the river bank when the log rafts of the shield warriors in the first row were attacked by the demon hunting guns.
