More than ten minutes later, Henry returned to the slope corner.
After dismounting, he stored the horse back in his space, then exposed half his body around the corner and took out his "one-in-a-thousand" Winchester rifle, firing twelve consecutive shots to extinguish the 12 gas lamps hanging on wooden poles along both sides of the road.
Then Henry walked down the slope about ten meters, collecting the ten corpses and rifles that had fallen to the side into his space as he passed them.
At this time, faint commotion could be heard from the factory with its gates wide open.
In the darkness, Henry walked about fifty meters down along the rightmost edge of the road, took out three granite stones from his space and stacked them horizontally - this way they wouldn't be unstable on the slope. Then he half-crouched, reloaded his rifle bullets, and began shooting the 6 gas lamps near the factory entrance.
After 6 shots, all 6 lamps were extinguished. Only the internal factory lighting remained, with all external lighting eliminated. The sentries on the two towers could only see a dozen meters in front of the gate.
Henry waited half a minute, only hearing loud reprimands from inside the factory saying "Don't fire randomly, don't panic." Seeing no machine gun fire, he stored the granite stones and ran frantically back up the slope to the corner.
A few minutes later Henry reached the top, set down a vertical granite stone, then hid at the corner edge while reloading his two "one-in-a-thousand" rifles and waiting quietly.
At this time, factory commander Tom quietly instructed 36 cavalry, then had guards climb the towers to relay orders to the machine gunners above.
One minute passed.
"Bang" - a red flare rose up, illuminating several hundred meters around bright as day.
Simultaneously, 36 cavalry in groups of 6 and two German Shepherds charged out of the factory, while two machine gun teams on the towers searched for enemies.
Henry knew there was a problem.
The factory keeping its gates open deep into the night was obviously planning to assault or ambush enemies.
If Henry had run toward the factory just now, he would be surrounded by them right now.
Now of course it was different. Henry stepped out, hid behind the granite stone on the slope, raised his rifle and began shooting the charging cavalry.
"Bang bang bang" - Henry hit one rider with each shot, making them tumble from their horses.
His upgraded super vision and dynamic vision made his marksmanship even more precise.
The remaining 34 riders and German Shepherds quickly located the enemy and charged up the slope.
Following them, another 60 riders poured out of the factory, charging madly forward.
"Rat-a-tat-tat"
On the watchtower near the entrance, machine guns spat fire frantically.
Henry stood unmoved, shooting steadily.
Next he fired 27 shots and brought down 27 riders. The remaining 7 riders and two dogs charged to within 50 meters of him, their faces twisted with savage fury as if ready to devour people.
At this time the machine guns stopped firing to avoid friendly fire.
Henry instantly switched to two double-action revolvers.
"Bang bang bang" - within one second the two pistols spewed 12 bullets, bringing down all 7 men and 2 dogs.
The guard charging in front and the two dogs each took two bullets.
The frontmost guard fell about 30 meters from Henry, while the vanguard of the 60 riders behind had reached within 100 meters - arriving in about 5 seconds!
Henry took out a 5-pound explosive package, activated a 3-second delay detonator and threw it over the cavalry formation, then took out another package and threw it at the ground thirty meters away.
Then he took out two double-action revolvers and shot at the cavalry vanguard entering the 50-meter range.
Another second of firing 12 bullets brought down all 12 cavalry who had charged within 30 meters.
Another flare slowly rose into the sky.
Two explosions sounded in succession.
The shock wave exploding over the cavalry heads instantly harvested lives within a 5-meter radius, with everyone within 10 meters severely injured.
The ground explosion's shock wave injured and broke the legs of horses within 10 meters, causing them to lose balance and throw their riders to the ground.
These two bombs seriously impeded the cavalry charge behind them, with six riders colliding together.
Henry instantly switched to two new double-action revolvers, prioritizing shots at cavalry within the 50-meter effective range who were less affected by the blast.
After three or four seconds, Henry fired 3 rounds of 36 pistol bullets, precisely harvesting 36 heads within range.
Only 8 cavalry at the very back were still struggling to control their rearing, neighing war horses.
Henry immediately switched to his Winchester rifle and continued the harvest.
A few seconds later, the 8 remaining cavalry were hit and all fell.
Henry quickly hid behind the corner, letting the granite stone be peppered by machine gun fire that resumed sweeping over, with stone fragments flying everywhere.
Another 15 seconds later, the flare died out and the machine gun's roar reluctantly stopped.
Even hiding behind thick granite stone, Henry's upper body had been hit 9 times by those 34 cavalry and swept 3 times by machine gun bullets, causing 3 green pearl shells and 9 white shells to silently dissipate.
The 60 cavalry behind hit Henry 18 times, dissipating another 18 white pearls.
The machine gun firepower was simply too fierce, while those 34 cavalry charged too close and had excellent marksmanship.
The 60 cavalry behind had probably fired three or four hundred shots combined.
More than ten seconds later, the second flare died out.
On the slope, except for occasional weak groans, no one could move.
Tom and Fabio in the factory felt ice-cold inside.
Tom was like a gambler who had impulsively bet everything and lost completely, his bloodshot eyes glaring helplessly with no solutions.
This time he had seen clearly - one person had actually blocked the short-range charge of over a hundred cavalry.
The slope of about 350 meters had become a meat grinder!
The enemy was a devil! Definitely not human!
This thought flashed through Tom's mind and grew stronger.
As long as Henry was prepared, he wasn't afraid of their charges at all.
He regretted that if only he had a Maxim machine gun that one person could barely operate, he wouldn't need such precise calculations and could quickly eliminate the opponent through direct firefight.
Tom had the remaining ten guards quickly close the factory gates tightly.
He now only had these ten guards and two groups of 5 each in the machine gun teams on the watchtowers, and could only hope the enemy feared the machine guns and could do nothing about them.
At this moment, if there were regret medicine, Tom felt he would want ten doses.
How had he been so possessed to send troops to pursue the enemy?
Just because of the sentry's initial words "only one person"!
How could one person dare provoke so many elite soldiers and kill over ten guards early on without making people angry?
Tom felt he had truly seen a ghost - none of this made any sense!
Fabio thought Tom was just a waste!
Always boasting about how impressive he used to be, getting hooked once wasn't enough - he had to send a second wave!
Completely incompetent, harming others and himself!
What now?
