Chapter 955 - Effortlessly Like On Flat Ground (1/2)

The sniper bullets that appeared suddenly on the battlefield dashed the expeditionary army's hopes of breaching the defensive position. Not only were the barbarians about to close in on the defensive line quickly killed, but some of their elites hidden among the troops were also spotted by Yang Xiaojin.

This way, the snipers exerted an even greater psychological toll on the expeditionary army. They could not understand how the snipers were able to identify the elite barbarians from so many soldiers, as they did not even put on any heavy armor in order to conceal themselves and avoid being fired upon by the Central Plains troops.

Ren Xiaosu was not capable of something like this. When he looked through the sniper scope, his observation ability would be weakened. Like any other person, his ability to observe things through a pair of binoculars or a surveillance camera would be weakened.

But Yang Xiaojin was different. She was used to looking at the world through a scope. Some elite barbarians hidden among the troops were looking for an opportunity to strike and did not charge forward fearlessly like the other barbarians, but she still managed to identify them at a glance.

Actually, Yang Xiaojin did not know the barbarians were the elites who were lying low.. But through her scope, she noticed they were moving stealthily and did not charge forward with the others, so she thought there must be something fishy about them.

Since there was something wrong with them, she would just take them out.

At first, when the two snipers joined the battlefield, the expeditionary army did not pay special attention to them. This was because they also knew about snipers from the Central Plains. Therefore, the commander felt the two snipers could not influence the situation on the battlefield.

If there were only two standard snipers here, they would not have much of an impact on the entire front. It would take a long time for them to reload, and they might also not have much ammo to kill enough of them. They would also require armor-piercing bullets to deal effective damage to their heavily armored warriors.

But Yang Xiaojin's and Ren Xiaosu's black sniper rifles were different from normal ones. First of all, they did not need to be loaded and had unlimited firepower. The fact that they could switch between whatever types of ammo they liked was enough for them to rule over the battlefield. It was like having two howitzers defending the position.

Back when Ren Xiaosu gave one of his black sniper rifles to Yang Xiaojin, she was so happy as she knew how powerful it was.

Therefore, P5092 no longer regarded these two as normal snipers on the main battlefield.

Throughout the course of the suppressive fire, the expeditionary army's commander continued keeping up their attacks for a long time. He thought the snipers would eventually run out of ammo. How many shots could the two snipers fire? 50? A 100?

Even if they could fire 4 or 500 shots, their expeditionary army still had tens of thousands of warriors. There would definitely be a time when the snipers ran out of bullets, right?

The expeditionary army's strategy today was to trade their lives for the defensive position, so they did not care about a few hundred of their comrades dying.

However, the expeditionary army's commander slowly realized the sniper shots seemed unending. After a rough count and several hundred shots later, they still did not hear the end of it.

He ordered his adjutant to record the frequency and number of shots fired by the enemy. In the end, he realized the two snipers lying on the opposite mountain were firing at a much more terrifying rate than the Central Plains snipers they knew. Furthermore, the number of shots fired gradually climbed to a 1,000, but there were still no signs of it stopping.

The gunshots of the anti-materiel sniper rifles were so loud they could be heard despite the continuous firing from the heavy machine guns. Gradually, the barbarians developed a fear of the sound of the gunshots. It was like someone was holding a remote control on the opposite side, and one of their comrades would die whenever it was pressed.

This feeling of having their fate decided by others was way too unbearable.

The expeditionary army's commander remained unmoved and did not order the barbarians to tone down their attacks. He still intended to sacrifice more lives to forge a path ahead.
