As the bus moved forward, another large group of enemies secretly targeted Tang Zhen and his group.
Previously, someone was motivated by profit and launched an attack on Tang Zhen and his group, but ended up with the entire army annihilated.
The matter was handled quietly and few people knew about it.
If the method is strong enough and careful investigation is carried out, the investigation can still be made clear.
But even if he knows the truth, it still won't affect the careerist's plan.
It's just a human life. If it can be exchanged for money, there will never be a shortage of people to call upon.
When driven by profit, there will always be people who take desperate risks, just like crazy gamblers.
Not to mention that this operation was driven by a mysterious figure and the other party had powerful power.
The total number of participants in this operation was close to 2,000, using the most sophisticated new equipment.
The brand new breech-loaded artillery, placed on the hillside, can hit extremely long distances.
The shells used are not simple either, they are the latest explosive shells produced.
When a cannonball explodes, there will be absolutely no survivors within a thirty-five meter radius.
Once the target enters the designated area, artillery fire will inevitably occur, blowing it to pieces.
There are also many cavalry and new mechanical vehicles with new muskets mounted on them.
The combatants wear thick armor that can withstand the damage of bows and arrows. Once they charge, they will destroy everything.
The participants in the war are all martial arts masters with extremely strong personal fighting abilities. In order to hire these people, the sponsors behind them paid a huge price.
At the top of the mountain, three figures were looking into the distance, obviously waiting for something.
The three of them wore masks and black robes, and their faces and expressions could not be seen clearly.
From the beginning to the end of the operation, no one had seen their true faces.
"coming!"
One of the figures, holding a telescope-like device, suddenly alerted his companions.
Upon hearing this, his companion quickly took out the same device and looked towards the end of the road in the distance.
At this time, they saw a huge, weird-looking vehicle driving quickly along the road.
Above this large car, there were puffs of smoke rising, and it was clear that a large group of people were having a fire and barbecue.
From time to time there was music and bursts of cheerful laughter.
Judging from the appearance of this vehicle, it was exactly the same as the intelligence description. It was the target they needed to ambush.
"Artillery commander, get ready for battle!"
In the masked man's hand, there is a black box, which is obviously a tool for remote communication.
Soon there was a rustling sound from inside the iron box, and a man with a rough voice responded.
"receive."
"Cavalry commander, get ready for battle!"
"receive!"
Make sure everything is in order, and then wait for the battle to begin.
The strange-looking bus continued to move forward at a steady speed, as if it had no idea of the hidden dangers.
The artillery commander on the hillside stared closely at the marked point below, his round eyes like an eagle.
When the bus passed the marked point, he immediately let out a roar.
"fire!"
As the order was issued, gunners with rich experience recruited from various countries with large sums of money simultaneously pulled the firing switch.
With a dull loud noise, smoke and dust arose on the hillside, and cannonballs flew out of the barrel.
The shell drew an arc, crossed the open space between the hillside and the road, and hit the marked area accurately.
Amidst the loud rumbling sound, smoke and dust completely swallowed up the road, including the passenger bus that had just arrived.
After the first shell was fired, the artillerymen on the hillside immediately cleaned the gun bore and stuffed new ammunition into it.
Insert the primer into the tail hole and move the hammer to the firing position. Preparations for the second round of firing are completed.
The artillerymen involved in the ambush were all elite and worthy of the high hiring price.
"Free Fire!"
Upon seeing this, the artillery commander issued the order again while staring closely at the battlefield.
He wanted to find traces of the target in the smoke and dust, and then issue more precise attack instructions.
Before this operation, the employer had issued a warning that the targets of the ambush were a group of extraordinary beings.
He was not particularly clear about what a transcendent being was, but he knew that he could never underestimate his enemy.
Once the battle begins, all efforts must be made.
The artillery commander's eyes are as sharp as an eagle's, and he gained a great reputation in the early years.
However, due to special reasons, he had to retire from the army, and since then he has been wandering on the gray edge, acting as a mercenary.
By participating in this mission, he will not only receive a generous commission, but he will also be able to clear his name and live a normal life from now on.
For this reason alone, he would do his best.
In the billowing smoke, he suddenly saw a dark shadow, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.
For the commander, a fleeting trace is enough for him to make a judgment.
"Lock area 15 and launch an all-out attack!"
Seeing the signal flag of the messenger, the artillerymen, who were still firing freely, adjusted their direction at an extremely fast speed.
They are experienced and skilled in combat, and they can lock the designated position in the blink of an eye.
There was another roar of artillery fire, which caused dust to fly, and you could even see shrapnel flying everywhere.
Even a man of steel is destined to be shattered into pieces in such a bombardment.
For the artillery, this is a very standard battle. They lock the target at a distance and then launch attacks continuously.
Using fierce artillery fire to tear the enemy into pieces is the way artillery fights.
The bombing didn't last long, but tons of artillery shells were thrown out, leaving the ground in a mess.
According to the experience of the artillerymen, even a hilltop has been leveled to the ground at this moment.
Even an extraordinary person driving a special bus could not withstand the artillery bombardment.
The extraordinary person at this moment should have been buried by the overturned mud together with the bus.
The subsequent methods should be of no use.
The artillery mission has been completed, and in the coming time, other arms will appear on the battlefield.
Looking at the smoke-filled road, the artillery commander felt a little uneasy.
At this time, a group of cavalry were seen rushing out of the nearby forest and heading straight for the road after the bombing.
They were detecting the situation, determining whether the enemy had been eliminated, and then passing the news back.
Under the gazes of one after another, they rushed into the smoke and quickly disappeared.
Everyone was waiting for them to come out of the smoke.
Time passed slowly, but the scene that everyone wanted to see never appeared.
A bad premonition emerged from everyone's mind.
The artillery commander on the hillside had a bad premonition that grew stronger. He stared at the dusty road with his eyes widened.
He was tempted to give the order again for the artillery to continue the attack.
But at the same time, a thought echoed in his mind, telling him that there was no point in doing so.
The indiscriminate bombardment just now failed to kill the target at all, and continuing to attack was just a waste of effort.
Prior to this, the artillery commander was very superstitious about the power of artillery and believed that it was the most terrifying attack in the world.
No matter what kind of enemy they are, they will eventually be shattered to pieces under the violent attack of artillery.
But just today, he saw something incredible. The artillery that could destroy everything seemed to have failed to kill the enemy.
Could it be that extraordinary people are not afraid of artillery attacks, or have immortal bodies?
The artillery commander felt that such a thing was impossible, but the situation in front of him was beyond his explanation.
At this moment, his heart was filled with curiosity and fear, and his eyes were fixed on the battlefield ahead.
The waiting cavalry and the three masked controllers all felt nervous at this moment.
"Cavalry commander, continue to send people to investigate!"
The three masked men on the top of the mountain gave the order again, and then ordered all the cavalry to move forward.
Surrounded from all sides, bullets were loaded and aimed, and when the enemy was found, they opened fire immediately.
As the order was issued, more than a thousand cavalry immediately appeared on the scene and moved toward the smoke area step by step.
There are also some mechanical vehicles covered with iron armor, equipped with small-caliber artillery, and a row of large-caliber muskets.
It made a rumbling sound, like an armored vehicle, and moved forward with the cavalry team.
