Chapter 243 The Battle of Veronica

After realizing that he was actually being targeted by demons, King Campas of the Principality of Veronica expressed his panic. After all, the total population of his small country is less than 200 million, and there are fewer soldiers, only about 15. It's okay to maintain law and order, but it's really not good to fight against the devil.He has heard that the two powerful countries, the Freedom Federation and the Dilijia Kingdom, have lost millions of troops during this period of time in order to fight against the devil.

And no matter how panicked Campas is, the facts will not change. The devil has indeed marched towards the Principality of Veronica, and sent 100 million troops at a time, as if to directly wipe out this small country.

Seeing that the neighboring country was in crisis, the Freedom Federation urgently mobilized 50 troops to support it. This is all the mobile forces that the Freedom Federation can produce in a short period of time.

When Campas saw the 50 reinforcements sent by the Freedom Federation, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. These reinforcements and his own country's army added up to 65 troops. If so many troops defend, they should be able to last for a while.When other countries recover from God, they will definitely come to support him. After all, demons can be said to be the public enemy of all intelligent races on the Xuangu Continent. No country or strength will sit back and watch it annex other countries and continue to grow. .

The demon side obviously understands this truth, so the demon generals in charge of leading the team are all urging the Red Sun Star soldiers to march quickly, wanting to take down the small country of Veronica before other countries react .

In this state of marching at full speed, it only took three days for 100 million Chiyangxing soldiers to arrive at the border of Veronica, where they met the Freedom Federation and Vigilante who had already camped here and were ready to fight. Ronika Principality Allied Forces.

Since the Principality of Veronica is as wealthy as the Freedom Federation, the soldier's equipment still looks very luxurious. The steel plate armor, especially the super heavy plate armor worn by the nobles and knights, looks very luxurious. Like iron cans, the defense is extremely powerful.

On the other hand, on the side of the Chiyangxing cannon fodder, most of the soldiers are only equipped with a steel breastplate and a pot helmet, and only those officers can be equipped with half-body plate armor.As for the full-body plate armor, only a few generals with the highest status can equip it.As for weapons, most soldiers only had a flintlock rifle and a bayonet, while the officers and generals had an extra command knife.

It is precisely because the armor of these cannon fodder is so crude that the bull can arm it in such a short period of time. If it is replaced with steel plate armor, the materials and time spent on manufacturing it will definitely not few.

Looking at the crude equipment of the enemy on the opposite side, Campas suddenly felt that he might not have to defend, but could directly attack and eliminate the opponent.

After all, almost all of their soldiers are in plate armor!They are not weak either, with the average strength of the soldiers reaching around level five swordsmen.There are also a total of [-] heavy cavalry.

After seeing the enemy on the opposite side launch a series of artillery, Campas became more determined to take the initiative to attack.After all, he had heard about the power of this thing a long time ago, no matter how thick the armor he wore, he couldn't resist its bombardment.So if they continue to stay in the camp and stand firm, they can only be bombed and unable to fight back.After all, the Freedom Federation came in such a hurry this time that heavy weapons such as artillery did not have time to bring them over, and all the ones who came were regular infantry and cavalry.

After listening to Campas's suggestion to take the initiative to attack, Yang Yan, the leader of the Freedom Federation, agreed with the other party's idea and prepared to lead the army to take the initiative to attack.

As a result, more than 60 troops from the Freedom Federation and Veronica's allied forces rushed out of the camp, and then formed a fairly neat formation outside the camp.

On the other side, the Chiyang Star fighters who had already formed their formations were already approaching the enemy step by step under the leadership of those demon generals.

"Who am I to charge!" Seeing the enemy approaching quickly, the distance between the two sides has been shortened to less than 1000 meters, Campas roared, mounted his horse also wearing heavy armor, and rushed towards the enemy. The formation charged.

Behind him, more than 5 heavy cavalry from the Freedom Federation and the Principality of Veronica also followed closely, mobilizing their horses and rushing towards the enemy.

"Fire!" Amidst the roar of the demon generals, the Chiyang Star artillery soldiers lit the fuses of the artillery one after another, and the more than 50 artillery pieces let out deafening roars one after another, and the bullets fell into the heavy cavalry on the opposite side. After entering the queue, flames and black smoke exploded.

Some heavy cavalry were unlucky and were directly killed by the bomb, while others were not directly killed, but were overturned by the shock wave of the shell explosion and fell to the ground.And if these knights fail to get their horses back up in time, they are likely to be trampled to death by the mounts of their comrades in arms behind.

Campas' luck was not very good. He was hit by a shell in the first round of shelling, but the king's strength was not weak. With a big sword in his hand, a purple sword glow flew out He went out, split the air wave and flame formed by the explosion of the cannonball in two, and then allowed him and his mount to pass through the explosion area smoothly and continue to charge towards the enemy formation.

After all, they were just some primitive firearms. These dozens of cannons did not really cause much damage. After two rounds of shelling, they only killed more than 100 enemy heavy cavalry.The only effect is that the formation of the enemy cavalry has become much more chaotic.

After two rounds of shelling, the 100 heavy cavalry led by Campas had already approached within [-] meters of the enemy's formation. Behind the cavalry, more infantry and crossbowmen were also coming quickly.

Facing these astonishing enemy heavy cavalry, those Red Sun Star fighters at the front were actually very nervous, but because of the training of more than a month before, they were still able to barely maintain their composure, and the muskets in their hands had finished reloading. .

"preparation!"

Accompanied by the voices of the officers beside them, these Red Sun Star warriors raised their loaded muskets one after another, aiming them at the enemy heavy cavalry ahead.

In the end, after the officers said 'fire', they all pulled the triggers and fired rounds of cone-shaped bullets at the enemy heavy cavalry.

Amidst the sound of tinkling metal impacts, at least a thousand heavy cavalrymen were thrown backwards from their horses by the bullets. After all, the bullets were still very powerful, even though their steel plate armor could block the bullets, but that However, the kinetic energy cannot be completely offset, and the knights will be knocked off their horses if they are not careful.And in the case of such a high-speed charge, falling off the horse is basically equivalent to death.

After the soldiers in the front row finished firing, the second row of Chiyang Star Musketeers stepped forward quickly and fired another round of salvos at the enemy heavy cavalry.

In order to prevent these new recruits who are on the battlefield for the first time from being too nervous to reload the ammunition as quickly as in the training, the coach Man Niu also deliberately divided the hundreds of thousands of Chiyang star fighters into five groups. Team, in this way, the musketeers have at least a minute or so to reload after firing. As long as they are not handicapped, they should be able to reload anyway!
And even if it is divided into five teams, each team has as many as 10,000+ musketeers, so every time you fire, you can shoot 10,000+ rounds of bullets, even if the distance is still far away, most of the bullets of the flintlock guns are not accurate. They all flew away, but tens of thousands of bullets successfully hit the enemy no matter what!

That is because the Freedom Federation and the Principality of Veronica spared no expense on the equipment of the soldiers, especially these heavy cavalry, the knight plate armor they wore was extremely thick, and the surface of the armor was also designed with a curved shape. It can have a great chance to bounce the enemy's bullets, which greatly reduces the lethality of the musket. Only in this way can only thousands of people be killed or injured in each round of salvo. If it is replaced by cavalry from other countries , I'm afraid it can't be destroyed with just one round of salvo!
"Knights, don't be afraid, keep charging! Victory is in sight." Campas watched the knights beside him fall under the enemy's musket volley, and the pressure was also great, so he roared again, giving Emboldened and courageous.

Unexpectedly, Campas' shout immediately made the enemy soldiers on the opposite side know that he was the enemy general, so they greeted him with bullets.

In shock, Campas quickly condensed a vindictive shield in front of him to resist the dense bullets.But because there were too many enemy troops shooting at him, even for a great swordsman like Campas, the condensed grudge shield was only supported for more than three seconds before being shattered, and then he could only be Relying on the armor on his body to resist the enemy's attack, under the continuous shooting of bullets, Campas was so shocked that his blood was churning, and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.In order to avoid falling off the horse, Campas could only lower his body as much as possible, holding the horse's neck with his hands, and let the continuous bullets bombard him continuously, colliding with the plate armor and making crisp metal impact sounds.

The other knights around were all moved when they saw this scene, thinking that His Majesty the King is really loyal enough, in order to alleviate the attack they received, he actually took the initiative to attract the enemy's firepower, such a good king is really worthy of them Doom!

Campas naturally noticed the expressions of these subordinates, and felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly in his heart, roaring in his heart: You are so touched!I didn't even think about attracting firepower, cover you, okay?This is a complete operational error!
But even though he was roaring angrily in his heart, Campas still had to put on a dignified and dignified look on his face. After all, the glorious image of the king still needs to be maintained!No matter how bitter your heart is, you have to swallow it mixed with blood.

The cost of maintaining the image is indeed huge. Under the seemingly endless bullets, the magic light that was originally shining on the enchanted armor on Campas' body quickly dimmed, and then completely extinguished with a bang.

Campas knew that this meant that his enchanted armor was completely reimbursed. You must know that this is his ancestral treasure!It has been passed down for dozens of generations, but in the end it was destroyed in his hands, which made Campas feel so heartbroken that he almost fainted.

Fortunately, they had already rushed within 50 meters of the enemy. Many heavily armored knights drew out their javelins from behind and threw these specially made heavy javelins at the enemy musketeers opposite.

You must know that most of these heavy knights are descendants of nobles!The strength is naturally not low, most of them have reached the level of ninth-level swordsmen, and some of them have even reached the level of great swordsmen.

So the power of the javelins thrown by these people can be imagined. As these javelins fell, the musketeers on the opposite side fell down in a big way.

Just one round of javelin rain killed tens of thousands of musketeers. This killing efficiency is not bad.

It was the first time for the Chiyang Star fighters to go to the battlefield to suddenly suffer such heavy casualties, and their morale plummeted immediately, and some of them even wanted to flee towards the rear.

But as soon as these timid Chiyang star warriors turned around, they were cut off by the demon warriors who were the supervisors with their knives.

"Fleeers! Die! With bayonets! Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"

Looking at those demon warriors with murderous looks, these Chiyang star warriors quickly came to their senses. They all knew that demons would kill without batting an eyelid. If they said they would kill, they would really kill!
So in desperation, these Red Sun Star fighters could only pull out their bayonets from their waists, put them on their rifles, and then held their spears, ready to meet the impact of the enemy's heavy cavalry.

But how could Campas fight these enemy troops with sharp bayonets!At this time, all the enchanted armor on his body has been reimbursed, and there is not much defense left, so it is natural to save his life.

"Circle cavalry formation! Use long-range weapons to consume the opponent's troops first!"

Under the order of Campas, the remaining 4 knights in heavy armor quickly changed their formations and quickly divided into two teams in front of the enemy's formation, and then the two teams of cavalry quickly formed two ring cavalry. shooting array.While speeding not far in front of the enemy's formation, they attacked the enemy with javelins, bows and arrows, and even pistols in their hands.

In this way, it will be hard for those Chiyang star fighters who have already mounted their bayonets and are ready for close combat. Under the attack of javelins and arrows flying all over the sky, these Chiyang star fighters who are only equipped with a simple breastplate Pieces fell in pieces, killing more than 5 people in a short period of time.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly! The enemy doesn't rush over to melee, are you holding fire sticks in your hands? Can't you shoot back?" Those demon generals saw that these recruits had no resilience at all, and the enemy immediately All he knew was to stand still and be beaten when he changed his formation, and he couldn't help but cursed in anger.
