As a rule of thumb, within 150 steps is the distance a magic gun can shoot.

However, the soldiers of the kingdom army are ultimately laymen and do not understand:

Only within a hundred steps, can the bullets fired by the magic gun truly unleash their terrifying power.

This is the difference between "maximum range" and "effective killing range."

Similarly, the kingdom army's archers have a maximum range of 120 steps, but it is only within ninety steps that they can penetrate the target.

If they want to destroy the armor on the target, they must bring the distance closer to within fifty steps.

So the consistent battle strategy of the kingdom army is to wait until the target is within fifty steps before launching an attack.

The arrowheads of their bows are six to seven inches long, shaped like a chisel, penetrating deep and hard to remove;

Those hit by them can basically prepare their farewell letters.

Four.

Ye Chuxue watched as the enemy troops rolled forward but hesitated to give the order to fire;

The knights in the circular formation all held their breath, and the front row magic gunners were biting their lips until they bled.

As the enemy cavalry on the other side accelerated their charge, almost reaching a hundred steps, the knight captain shouted:

"Prepare for rear layer shots."

At the command, the magic gunners in the second row directly in front and the remaining shooters at the corners aimed their guns at the approaching enemy iron cavalry.

Three.

The intense sound of thousands of hooves, dust flying, even the earth seemed to tremble under the pounding of the iron hooves.

The impact of the cavalry charge was so powerful that even the knights in front felt their hearts pounding incessantly, their faces flushed red;

Even among the long spear soldiers on the inner side of the circular formation, many were sweating profusely on their foreheads, whether from the scorching sun or their own tension.

In the blink of an eye, the elite cavalry was about to charge within a hundred steps, and dust was rising from the ground;

The heavy sound of iron hooves hitting the ground made people's hearts thump.

Two.

Finally, as the enemy approached within a hundred steps, she waved her hand and said calmly:

"Let's begin."

Using death to tell the enemy what kind of era this is!

One.

Under Ye Chuxue's raised right hand, the knight captain on the ground pointed the blade forward with all his strength, roaring hoarsely:

"Fire!"

Deafening gunshot sounds rang out, and all the magic gunners in the front row of the circular formation fired at once;

A row of blazing fire flashed before their eyes, and billows of smoke rose at the same time.

With the sound of gunfire, the charging enemy soldiers in front immediately fell in heaps;

Even if they intended to spread out, due to charging too closely and the previous soldiers standing too close together, over a thousand men were shot down.

The light armor archers who couldn't find cover immediately emitted puffs of blood mist, screaming miserably and falling to the ground;

Not to mention them, even those heavy knights in double-layered armor with heavy shields at the front also suffered over half casualties from the round of volleys;

They were at the forefront, more targeted by the shooters, and the bullets shot out by the magic guns pierced through their double-layered armor and thick shields at a hundred steps distance;

Subsequently, the bullets hit them with a powerful impact, causing them to fall off their horses one by one;

They lost their lives before hitting the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the vanguard of the kingdom's army had already suffered heavy losses.

A pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air in the military formation.

Under the scorching sun, this smell served as a warning to those present, reminding them constantly that this was a brutal battlefield of death.

The knight captain then ordered the front troops:

"The first two rows, fall back, the third row, move up."

Following the command, the magic gunners in the front of the circular formation and at the corners all moved back;

They passed through the gaps between the shield soldiers and the long spear soldiers to join their comrades in the rear, where they regrouped, reloaded with fresh ammunition.

At the same time, the third row of knights took a step forward and began aiming again.

Fire!

A smoke rose from the left side of the circular formation, flame erupted from the left corner, then spread across the left side of the formation.

Ear-splitting gunshots rang out as the rear magic gunners all opened fire, screams and horse whinnies followed, and eight or nine hundred riders were immediately dismounted.

Shoot the rider first.

Due to the circular formation, some of the magic gunners started shooting at the cavalry from the side, as the target of the horses was larger, it was almost impossible to miss.

The kingdom army's warhorses had never heard such sounds before, and they were immediately frightened.

Some horses hit by bullets went into great pain and agitation, either jumping around or rolling on the ground, or struggling desperately;

Many riders couldn't control their frantic horses and were thrown to the ground;

Some unlucky ones were even trampled into a pulp by the horses coming up from behind.

After the first round of attacks, the third row of knights quickly retreated back into the formation.

The two rows of companions who fell back immediately swapped positions with them and did what they had done before.

Many of the kingdom's horsemen tried to control their mounts and lower their bodies as much as possible.

Their distractions prevented them from paying attention to the front, and it was in this situation that the second round of the knights' assault began.

After two rounds of attacks, the casualties on the other side were considerable,

At this point, the kingdom cavalry charging forward was less than seventy steps away from the knight squadron.

This distance passed in the blink of an eye for the cavalry, but many soldiers hesitated and slowed down the speed of their horse charge instinctively;

They could see clearly and knew that even the heavily armored knights would struggle to survive under such firepower;

If that was the case, what about themselves with less protective gear?

Once they charged forward, who could guarantee that they wouldn't be heading to their deaths?

The shock of the previous volley had left a deep impression on their hearts.

The legion commander leading from behind was furious to see this, he grabbed the job of the signal soldier next to him, personally waving the flag and shouting:

"The magic gun is just a toy played by children, no threat to our knights. Aqima's warriors, follow me in the charge!"

His shout was so loud that even Ye Chuxue sitting on the back of the flying dragon could hear it clearly.

"A toy?"

Ye Chuxue lowered her head, but she did not feel discouraged;

On the contrary, she now had a keen interest in witnessing the end of that elite army.

"Attack!"

The legion commander, armored in three layers, held a shield in his left hand and a long iron halberd in his right.

Upon hearing the legion commander's command, the infantrymen waved their weapons, charging forward alongside him.

The remaining heavy knights pressed forward, followed by the heavy infantry;

At the same time, over a thousand lightly armored archers on horseback emerged from the sides of the heavy knights;

They drew their bows and arrows, spread their legs wide in the saddle, ready to fire as soon as the bows were taut;

Arrows shot out simultaneously

in the blink of an eye!

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

After the gunshots, the soldiers of the kingdom army's continuous mourning cries echoed incessantly.

Under the intensive firepower attack, another thousand soldiers were knocked to the ground;

And more than half of them were the heavy riders roaring up;

At a distance of less than seventy steps, no matter how many layers of armor they were wearing or what massive shields they held, it was useless.

The bullets easily broke through their protective gear and armor, knocking them to the ground one by one.

The archers on horseback were not spared either.

In fact, despite the advantage of the warhorses, the mounted archers were at a significant disadvantage on this battlefield.

The magic gunners had no lack of bullets, and the archers had arrows on the strings, both sides aiming at each other simultaneously;

In this situation, pulling a bow would take at least a second longer than squeezing a trigger, and that one second could make all the difference.

Ye Chuxue once mentioned:

Most people think that bows are superior to guns, but in reality:

When a person is targeted by an arrow, they can still evade, but once they are locked on by a magic gun, there is no escape for ordinary people;

Because bullets are faster and more penetrative compared to arrows.

Most people do not understand this fact;

Therefore, some among them will die in confusion, a necessary price paid for ignorance.

"Just because we cannot meet the worldly expectations, we are defined as 'inferior'."

Ye Chuxue spoke calmly.

Perhaps it was for this moment that she let that person sit on the back of the flying dragon, keeping him by her side.

"In this era, those who are not skilled in magic, swords, knives, bows, and other weapons during their student years are defined as poor performers."

Like telling a story unrelated to herself, there was no warmth in Ye Chuxue's eyes, her voice was cold:

"Even as a royal, if you fail to earn respect from your elders, you will only be abandoned..."

However, her heart was burning, accompanying the scorching fire on the earth, causing a change in this world.

"They, like my sister, are all students no one expects much from..."

Standing beneath the sky, the person at that moment was as awe-inspiring as the sky itself.

"That's why we have to bring down the 'elite' in our own way, and destroy them with our own hands."

With a quick flash of her left hand, a barely noticeable gleam, it flew swiftly from above and descended towards the legion commander in an instant.

Chi!

Due to the subsequent staining of blood, Wang Xiaole was able to see clearly:

The gleaming object under the sunlight was a thin, slender thread imbued with penetrating power by the user.

The commander's body was pierced by the thread, his running movement immediately halted, and his head drooped as blood spurted from his mouth.

"Unfortunately, you can't see; but it doesn't matter, I'm here to announce your fate."

Raising the magic gun with her right hand, she aimed the muzzle at the commander's head on the ground, and lightly declared as she pulled the trigger:

"This time, the underdog wins. It feels hollow."

Bang!

The bullet pierced through the head, and as one person fell, Ye Chuxue let out a long breath.

At this moment when time seemed to freeze, Wang Xiaole saw her face;

He couldn't control his body's movements, unable to take his eyes off the girl's face.
