Chapter 181 Facing the Golden Eagle Empire Army

"Very good! This gun barrel is very thick, it seems that there is no cut corners, and this fixed gunpowder has also been made, so it will be much more convenient to load!" Ge Xiaolun was skillfully loading the matchlock gun, while commenting .

The person in charge at the side couldn't help showing a smile on his face when he heard his emperor's satisfactory words. As an orc who was not good at fighting, he thought that he would have no future, but since his emperor wanted to study this firearm, He finally found a suitable position for him, and quickly demonstrated his talent in this area, and now he has become the chief of the Firearms Bureau.

After Ge Xiaolun loaded the matchlock gun, he came to the shooting range outside, and shot at a humanoid target wearing an iron armor.

This matchlock gun has a large caliber and a lot of charge, and the recoil when fired is naturally very strong, but most of Ge Xiaolun's orc fighters are much stronger than ordinary human soldiers, and they can still control these weapons.

And another shortcoming of this matchlock gun that uses black powder is that it may produce a lot of smoke after firing. After waiting for the smoke to disperse, Ge Xiaolun came to the target and found that the lead bullet fired had already penetrated the target. A piece of iron armor was deeply embedded in the wooden humanoid target.

"Not bad! The power has reached the standard. With this kind of power, even if you can't penetrate the heavy plate armor, you can still knock the opponent's heavy cavalry off their horses!" Ge Xiaolun looked at the damage caused by this shot. , also expressed satisfaction.

Then he inspected weapons such as artillery and grenades under the leadership of the person in charge, and found that the quality of these weapons was also very good, and there was not a single inferior product.

"This is thanks to the new system established by His Majesty the Emperor. Now every craftsman needs to engrave his own name on it. If there is a problem, he will be held accountable. So now none of the craftsmen dare to steal Slippery!" Seeing Ge Xiaolun's satisfied expression, the person in charge smiled and flattered him.

"Very good! Old curly hair, I really did not misunderstand the person at the beginning, you have done a good job! After this battle is over, I will promote you!" Ge Xiaolun is indeed in a good mood at this time, Hearing what the other party said, he immediately made a promise to give him a promotion.

Hearing the words, the old curly hair was so happy that he couldn't find Bei, he was already imagining where he would be promoted to by then!

And Ge Xiaolun quickly assembled an army of 15, carrying these firearms, and rushed to the front line, preparing for a decisive battle with the Golden Eagle Empire army.Of the 15 troops, [-] were equipped with those matchlock guns, about [-] were artillerymen, and about [-] were bombardiers.The remaining [-] are traditional cold weapon troops, including [-] infantry, [-] crossbowmen, and about [-] cavalry.

Compared with the Golden Eagle Empire, Ge Xiaolun's troops are 2 fewer, and the Golden Eagle Empire has more than 11 heavy cavalry, about [-] light cavalry, and the remaining [-] horsemen. Ten thousand are infantry, fifty thousand are crossbowmen.And leading this army is the veteran of the Golden Eagle Empire, Agukosi.It is said that this veteran general has never lost a battle!At most, it was a draw with the enemy.

With veterans with rich combat experience and a well-equipped and experienced elite army, Trump XII really can't think of a reason why the Golden Eagle Empire will be defeated. He is now waiting for the veteran Agucus to return home And it's time to return.

And Ge Xiaolun is also full of confidence in the firearms in his hands, and feels that he can definitely rely on these more advanced weapons to sweep the opponent's backward cold weapon troops into the garbage dump of history in one fell swoop.

Three days later, the two armies finally met on an endless desert plain.Veteran Agukos expressed his satisfaction with this battle location, where he can make good use of his own cavalry advantages.And Ge Xiaolun said that it doesn't matter, he has more advanced firearms in his hands, so it's not right to fight anywhere!
After the two sides quickly set up their formations, the Golden Eagle Empire army first launched a tentative attack. The veteran Agukos was still very cautious. Although his side had the upper hand in strength, he still sent [-] soldiers first. The light cavalry went to test the enemy's reality.

Ge Xiaolun naturally also saw that this was the opponent's temptation, so he immediately ordered the firearms troops under him not to make a move, and let the cold weapon troops go up first.

Most of the light cavalry of the Golden Eagle Empire were equipped with long-range weapons such as riding bows and javelins. When they were more than 200 meters away from the army of the Great Xia Kingdom, some of the stronger ones bent their bows and set up arrows. Arrows were shot from the enemy formation on the opposite side, trying to lure the enemy soldiers to counterattack.

But these orc soldiers under Ge Xiaolun followed him to the Hanhai Empire, what a world they have never seen!Of course they won't be fooled by the other party. They all stood quietly in place, keeping the formation in order, and didn't care about the arrows that were shot. Even if some comrades were shot down from time to time, their faces remained unchanged. .

The Golden Eagle Empire saw that this level of harassment was ineffective, so they continued to press forward, but when they approached about 150 meters, the crossbowmen from the orc side all pointed at the light cavalry unit A dense rain of arrows was shot.

As the rain of arrows fell, most of these light cavalrymen of the Golden Eagle Empire equipped with leather armor hurriedly raised their shields to cover them, but the arrows fired by the orc soldiers were not small. With a large number of arrows falling, some light cavalry shields They were shot and exploded soon, and the horses of some people were also shot to death, causing casualties continuously.

However, the soldiers on the side of the Golden Eagle Empire are obviously also elite. Although there are continuous casualties under the attack of the arrow rain, they are still approaching the big formation on the side of the Great Xia Kingdom at an extremely fast speed.When they approached about 50 meters, the remaining 8000 light cavalry immediately transformed into a circular cavalry formation, and began to launch long-range attacks on the opposite orc soldiers with their cavalry bows and javelins.

And the orc soldiers are naturally not the kind of soft bastards who will not fight back when they are beaten. Immediately, a denser rain of arrows and a large number of throwing axes and javelins were also shot from the orc army, killing thousands of Golden Eagle Empire light cavalry at once. It fell down.

Although the casualties were getting heavier, the light cavalry of the Golden Eagle Empire did not retreat. Instead, relying on their own cavalry maneuver advantage, they kept fighting with the enemy, consuming the physical strength and arrows of the enemy soldiers.

Finally, when the number of this light cavalry unit was less than 5000, it finally withdrew to the main formation under the order of veteran Agukos.

"The fighting strength of the orcs is really strong. It seems that it will not be so easy to take down the opponent in one fell swoop!" Veteran Agukos immediately made his own judgment in his heart after watching the confrontation between the two sides just now.

But even though he knew that the orcs were not easy to mess with, but he had the king's life on his body, so he had to fight, otherwise, their emperor would never spare him.

"This battle is over! I don't know how many soldiers of the Golden Eagle Empire will have to die!" In the sigh of Agukos, the most elite cavalry of more than 2 soldiers began to enter the battle preparation at this time state.

The heavy cavalry of the Golden Eagle Empire is extremely well-equipped, and each horse is equipped with two horses, one of which is responsible for carrying equipment and riding the cavalry during normal marches, but the real war horses are only put on horses before the battle Armor joins the battle.At this time, those heavy cavalry were putting thick horse armor on their horses with the help of their respective followers, and at the same time putting on their own armor one by one, first an inner cotton inner armor, and then a lock Armor, the last is the outermost breast plate armor or even the whole body plate armor.After the barrel helmets were put on, these heavy cavalry of the Golden Eagle Empire became real tin cans.

In order to destroy the enemy army in one fell swoop, the veteran Agukos decided to make full use of his superiority in strength and press all his troops up at once, and he would lead the heavy cavalry to charge together.

Looking at the heavily armored cavalry who had already prepared combat equipment, Agukos didn't waste any time. He directly pulled out the knight's sword from his waist and shouted: "We must win!" Then he took the lead and faced the opposite side to prepare for the battle. The orc army rushed over.

When the soldiers of the Golden Eagle Empire saw that their general was leading the charge, their morale immediately became extremely high, and they all roared and charged behind Agukos.

"Haha! Is it a wave? The general on the opposite side is quite courageous! It's a pity that the times have changed, and it will no longer be dominated by these heavy cavalry!" Ge Xiaolun looked at the blackness, rushing towards his own army. The enemy army showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Soon, the artillery that had been deliberately hidden before was pushed to the front of the formation one by one, and the musketeers also lined up in a neat formation, lit the matchlock, and were ready for battle.

When the Golden Eagle Empire army rushed to a distance of about 500 meters, the large-caliber artillery on the side of the Great Xia Kingdom opened fire one after another. These artillery calibers were all above [-]mm, and the shells they fired were full of weight. Once they were hit, they would be smashed to pieces Even those heavy cavalry wearing double armor are no exception.

And Agukos looked at the solid shells that quickly passed through his own troops, setting off waves of blood and blood, and couldn't help having some bad premonitions in his heart.He had heard before that the Hanhai Empire, which is adjacent to the orcs, has developed a new type of weapon called a firearm, which is very powerful. With these new weapons, the Hanhai Empire is facing the Iron Bear Empire and the Great Xia. The armies of the two countries joined forces, and both were able to win more with less. Now it seems that the orcs also stole the technology of the Hanhai Empire during the war with the Hanhai Empire, and made their own firearms!

Just when Agukos was in a daze, a cannonball flew past him, and immediately smashed seven or eight guard knights under him into the air.Agukos turned his head to look at the bodyguards who had been smashed to pieces, and finally had an accurate understanding of the power of these firearms in his heart.

Those personal guards under him are all above the seventh-level swordsman, and they are wearing three layers of heavy armor. In the past, no matter how powerful they are, these personal guards can withstand the rain of arrows. Those who rush all the way will suffer a little injury at most.But in front of this firearm, those solid and thick armors seemed to be made of paper, unable to provide the slightest protection.

And because the cavalry charged very fast, they were already approaching about 300 meters in front of the enemy's formation. Immediately, more small-caliber artillery joined the ranks of the attack, and shells were continuously fired into the Golden Eagle Empire. In the army formation, especially those heavy cavalry, they focused on hitting the target, and hundreds of heavy cavalry were killed in one fell swoop.Hundreds of other soldiers were also accidentally injured.

"It seems that the reloading speed of this weapon is very slow! From this point of view, there should be a chance of winning this battle!" Agukos squinted his eyes and saw the busy appearance of the enemy artillerymen on the opposite side who were busy reloading the artillery shells. He quickly made a judgment in his heart.

So in the next second, he no longer saved horsepower, but swung his whip vigorously to beat the horse under his seat, quickly raising the speed of the horse to the highest speed, and at the same time shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Charge at full speed! "

Following the order of Agukos, the cavalry of the Golden Eagle Empire also raised their horse speed to the highest speed, and rushed towards the enemy formation not far away.

Under this kind of full-speed charge, the distance between the two armies was quickly shortened to within 150 meters. Immediately, many crossbowmen and musketeers from the Great Xia Kingdom also joined the attacking ranks. Those arrows were okay. , but the lead bullets fired by those arquebus guns are extremely lethal. Even if the heavy cavalry in double armor are hit, they will be beaten until they vomit blood, and then fall headlong from their horses. Down.

The [-] musketeers were divided into three teams, firing waves of dense and deadly bullets at the army of the Golden Eagle Empire in a three-stage shooting method, shooting and killing the enemy army one after another.

Even Agukos was accidentally shot several times. Who told him that as the enemy general, the armor on his body was more gorgeous than other soldiers!Fortunately, he is also a master swordsman, or a master swordsman in Su Li's new realm.Relying on the grudge armor on his body, Agukos finally withstood these powerful lead bullet attacks.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry at the forefront of the Golden Eagle Empire were already only about 50 meters away from the enemy's formation. Immediately, a large number of orc infantry began to throw javelins and throwing axes at the enemy in front. Fewer grenades.

The shrapnel exploded by those grenades is difficult to penetrate the armor of the heavy cavalry of the Golden Eagle Empire, but it is enough to scare the horses of the opponent. As the grenades exploded one by one, some cavalrymen of the Golden Eagle Empire who sat down and were frightened by their horses were immediately killed by themselves. His horse was thrown away, or completely deviated from the direction of the charge.

But just for a while, the most elite heavy cavalry unit of the Golden Eagle Empire suffered more than 4000 casualties, and those light cavalry suffered even more casualties, reaching more than 8000 people.

But even though there were heavy casualties, the charging speed of these Golden Eagle Empire cavalry did not slow down at all, and none of the soldiers fled the battle. Memorizing the body of the gun with his arm, he was ready to launch a spear sprint towards the enemy.
