Chapter 89 Pulling Up My Italian Cannon
On the border of the Eastern Roman Empire, on the left flank are four battalions of infantry archers.

The right wing is the traditional elite of the Eastern Roman Empire that has lasted for hundreds of years. It once ruled the history of heavy cavalry. It is a disciplined iron army with men and horses in heavy armor-6000 armored holy soldiers.

On the front, it is the main force of the Eastern Roman Empire, and it is also the strongest force composed of all the troops of the entire Eastern Roman Empire that Alexei mobilized - an army of 30 people.

However, even if Alexei mobilized all the troops that could be drawn from across the country, there was still a natural gap compared with the 50 Song army.

Especially when the two sides have a modern gun force of 50 people, and the other side has only 30 cavalry and infantry in the cold weapon era.

The 50 Song army lined up in battle formation, and a sense of iron and blood pervaded the entire battlefield, confronting the 30 Roman army at a distance.

Neither of the two sides took the initiative to attack, and the scene was full of chills.

"Alexey, don't you have an army of magicians in the Roman Empire? Why don't you show your last hole card and let me see, when technology versus magic, when guns versus elemental attacks, which one is better? Which is worse!"

Before the battle, the little emperor was riding on horseback, looking at Emperor Alexei a thousand meters away.

His voice was not loud, but it was heard far away on this vast battlefield, reaching Alexei's ears thousands of meters away, as if it was ringing right next to his ears.

Listening to the little emperor's words, Alexei's face turned gloomy and cold.

If the Roman Empire could still form a legion of magicians, how could it have declined to the present situation?
As early as hundreds of years ago, a large number of magicians mysteriously disappeared, leaving only some low-level magicians. At the same time, many advanced magic inheritances disappeared.

And this directly led to the decline of the mysticism of magic in the Roman Empire.

Up to now, the profession of magician has almost disappeared from the world.

"Zhao Xu, when I personally wrote a letter to invite your father to come to our Roman Empire, your father was afraid to go forward.

Now, as the son of a tortoise, you dare to bring troops to our Roman Empire.

Little guy, miss you as a guest from afar, I will give you a chance to kiss my shoes! "

In the ancient Roman Empire, in the era when the Roman Empire was powerful and holy, ruling the whole of Europe.

The country belongs to the emperor, and the imperial power is supreme.

Important ministers of the state can kiss the emperor's right chest, while some important foreign envoys are qualified to kiss the emperor's shoes.

Alexei's words are tantamount to humiliating the little emperor.

However, the little emperor did not feel annoyed in the slightest.

"Oh? It seems that the magician legion of the Roman Empire has become a legend!"

Having said this, the little emperor no longer has any interest in continuing the conversation.

He led an army of 50 all the way to the west, firstly to expand the territory, secondly to plunder points, and thirdly to see what would happen if the modernized army fought against the magician army.

It's a pity that now that the Magician Legion has become history, the only fun left is the first two.

"attack!"

Although it was a pity that he could not see the magician, the little emperor still ordered excitedly at the thought of conquering another empire.

The little emperor gave an order, and the army maintained an offensive formation, trying to suppress the Eastern Roman Empire.

Seeing the Song army attacking, Alexei also gave the order to charge.

The left-wing archers bent their bows and set arrows, shooting arrows at the Song army to cover their friendly troops.

On the right wing, the [-] Iron Armored Paladin Legion launched a charge, intending to give full play to the advantages of the heavy cavalry, and wanted to disperse the Song Dynasty army in one fell swoop.

Facing the armored heavy cavalry whose soldiers and horses were all covered by iron frames, the Song Army's weapons lost for the first time.

Relying on the protection of heavy armor, ordinary bullets dare not penetrate the armor of these cavalrymen.

The value of the armor-piercing projectile is too high, because it has not been encountered before, so there is not much preparation, not enough to destroy this cavalry unit.

Under the shooting of the Song army, the armored heavy cavalry charged, and while leaving more than 1000 corpses, they took the lives of more than 1000 Song soldiers, and then rushed out of the encirclement relying on the protection almost like a tortoise shell.

Seeing that a charge was evenly matched, Alexei seemed to see hope.

While ordering the cavalry to charge again, they also ordered an army of 30 to attack and rush forward to fight the Song army.

It's just that he was caught off guard by the armored heavy cavalry's defense just now, and suffered a loss once, how could the little emperor suffer a second time?
Therefore, before the cavalry launched a second charge, the little emperor glanced contemptuously at the heavy cavalry who accelerated to charge.

"Second battalion commander bah, deputy commander, bring my Italian cannon over!"

Following the little emperor's order, he was ready to follow behind the army, ready to let the magician army that might appear at any time enjoy the Italian artillery baptized by artillery fire, and was pulled to the front of the formation.

"Did you see that group of cavalrymen? Six artillery bursts were fired, and the strikes were divided into points. Let me blow up those turtle shells!"

Pointing to the charging cavalry, the little emperor said to several young soldiers manipulating Italian cannons.

"promise!"

Hearing this, six of the twelve gunners agreed in unison.

then
"Bang~bang~bang~"

After six consecutive cannon shots, a puff of gunpowder smoke engulfed and drowned nearly [-] heavy cavalry who were charging.

As the gunpowder smoke dissipated, only a few of the five thousand heavy cavalry who charged were left moaning on the ground with missing arms and legs.

The others, on the other hand, have turned into pieces of stumped limbs, scattered messily in the soil.

The sudden change brought the advancing Roman army to an abrupt halt.

Anyone who faced an attack that could instantly wipe out the bones of five thousand heavy armored cavalry would lose the courage to charge forward even after thinking about it.

Not to mention the charging infantry and light cavalry.

Even Alexei himself couldn't help but panic after seeing his five thousand heavy cavalry being wiped out in an instant without leaving a single corpse.

In fact, not only the Roman army, but even Song Dynasty's own army of nearly 50 soldiers was frightened by the power of the Italian cannon.

It turned out that the Italian cannon they had been pulling but had never used was so powerful.

This kind of power, not to mention during plain warfare, if it is used in siege warfare, what kind of city gate can block the power of this cannon?
What's more, they have twelve such guns.

Yes, such fellows, they have twelve doors.

Alexei also thought of this question.

Only six gates are so terrifying, if twelve gates spread out a plane attack, how many rounds can his 30 army be enough to sweep?

Moreover, the opponent not only has cannons, but also has a kind of equally terrifying weapon called a gun, and each person has one or even two.

so.
"Surrender! Emperor Song, we surrender! Surrender without killing, we demand preferential treatment for prisoners!"

In an instant, Alexei made the wisest choice, but it's a pity that this wise choice was made a bit late!

so.
"Sorry, I don't accept it!"

Looking at the thousands of cold corpses placed behind his camp, the little emperor's voice was cold.

This battle was the most costly since he led the army, so he was not prepared to accept any form of surrender.

For foreigners, there are only massacres and assimilation, and he has seized so many territories at once. There are too many foreigners he needs to assimilate, not bad for the Roman army.

So, his choice is.
"The whole army attacks, leaving no one behind!"

ps: The second update, the recommendation tickets are getting less and less every day, is it almost no one will read it.want to cry.
