Chapter 180 The Battle Begins

A figure, wearing armor, riding a big horse, was walking at the front of the team. He had a fat body and a protruding belly, but he looked nondescript even though he was wearing armor. The tall horse was a little wilted under the pressure and was panting heavily. I am angry that this is not the lord of the border town, Viscount Elk. Viscount Elk and a group of nobles are riding at the front. Behind Viscount Elk, there are rows of fully armed cavalry, knights riding tall horses, wearing shining armor. , followed closely by the cavalry, were groups of well-equipped infantry, following in a fan shape. After the infantry were civilians in different clothes, pushing carts and carrying food, swarming up quickly, and the group The people and horses appeared in sight, 5000 people, but the sea of ​​people was like a tide, pouring towards River Valley Town. Little John, as a member of the border town guard, was trained by the two devil instructors Hogg and Yuler. , has transformed into a qualified artilleryman, but facing so many enemies for the first time, Little John is still very nervous. Of course, it is not just Little John, everyone is nervous. As the commander, Halson uses the loudspeaker equipment, Following the flag, directing the crowd, and looking at the enemy who was about to enter the shooting range, Halson shouted loudly, "Adjust the angle and add ammunition." The artillery team, after such a long period of training, is naturally very proficient in these procedures. At this time, Viscount Elk and a group of dignitaries stayed where they were, commanding the troops to launch an attack. After all, these nobles were not needed for charging into battle, and this was also because these nobles believed that this time, Halson would definitely attack. There is no doubt that they will be defeated, so they follow the troops to watch. Otherwise, how can these nobles easily go to the battlefield? Of course, in addition to the nobles like Vulture Viscount, Vulture Viscount took the lead and led the troops towards River Valley Town. Very quickly, the enemy dodged. After passing the mark set up in advance, the cavalry trotted and began to speed up. The horses' physical strength was effective. In order to achieve the best effect of the charge, the horses were asked to trot at a distance of 1000 meters, slowly increasing their speed, and then approaching about 200 meters. Meter distance, charge at full speed, to achieve the best effect. This distance is also the effective range of the artillery. Halson shouted loudly, "Fire" and waved the flag at the same time. There was a hint of excitement in his words. Hearing Halson's After the order, the gunners subconsciously lit the fuse and "bombed" Little John's artillery group. The first one roared, followed by a series of bombing sounds. Suddenly, the entire artillery position was filled with smoke, dust was flying, firelight flashed, and the sound of cannons The roaring gunpowder explosion and the violent energy generated violently pushed the shells out. Almost instantly, the shells flew to the enemy's camp. The enemies gathered densely together. The flying bombs exploded among the crowd. Suddenly, The shrapnel contained in the artillery shells was like a metal rainstorm, covering the surrounding enemies, cavalry and horses. Little bits of blood burst out, like purchased wheat. Large tracts fell down, and the flesh and blood bodies were covered by the hot weapons. , revealing his fragility. As long as he is scratched by shrapnel, he will be seriously injured, or even directly torn into pieces, with the remaining limbs flying everywhere, and the blood mist fills the air. Thirty artillery pieces, howling in anger, are like the gods of death, crazy The first round of artillery that harvested the enemy's lives resulted in nearly a thousand casualties. All the enemies were frightened by this sudden attack. Such a long distance and such great power, Viscount Vulture and other commanders hurriedly Shouting loudly, "Spread out, spread out." At this time, the artillery team had completed a reload, and then another round of artillery covered it, "Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom" the artillery was howling, It was not shells that were fired, but abyss demons, greedily devouring the lives of the enemy. Although the enemies had dispersed as much as possible, the area covered by thirty artillery pieces was not so easy to escape, and there were nearly a thousand people. Everyone was frightened by the casualties. They were so far away from the target, and nearly half of them were lost. Viscount Vulture's luck was surprisingly good. He was covered by two rounds of artillery fire. Apart from being a little embarrassed, he was actually unscathed in the face of such a terrifying attack. Viscount Vulture thought of catapults, guard towers, and other large-scale equipment. Viscount Vulture shouted, "Charge, charge quickly. This weapon has a distance limit, and the opponent's front is weak. As long as we rush over, victory will be ours." Although This distance is not the best distance for charging, but at this time, despite so many enemies starting to charge, the cavalry was very fast. Very quickly, the remaining cavalry, about several hundred people, took the lead to rush out of the artillery coverage. At this time, the artillery team had completed reloading, and then harvested artillery shells. Those short-legged infantry and civilians were repeatedly ravaged by rounds of artillery on the battlefield. Bomb craters were everywhere, corpses were everywhere, the war was burning, and smoke was everywhere. The power of artillery , made the world tremble, and made everyone remember this weapon of war. The lucky cavalry rushed out of the range, with strong hatred, and attacked Harsen's camp with all its strength, and the short-legged cavalry The infantrymen and civilians, under the ravages of artillery fire, had lost their will to fight and fled towards the border town in disarray. Viscount Elk and a group of dignitaries were originally waiting to see a good show, but in the end, it was indeed a shocking show. Viscount Elk and all the dignitaries were dumbfounded by the 1000-strong team. There were about 4000 cavalry, 500 infantry, and 500 civilians. In the end, there were only about a few hundred cavalry, and they rushed out of the bombing range. [-] people More than half of the infantry and civilians were directly wiped out by artillery. Only about [-] people fled the battlefield in rout. It was only after the driving of these noble personal guards that the remaining troops, Viscount Elk, gathered together, looking gloomy and ferocious. He thought on his face, "Although the losses are heavy, victory is not impossible. After all, there are cavalry approaching the enemy's defense line. How can such a weak defense line withstand the charge of our elite cavalry? I still have more than [-] people." , when the time comes, just rush forward, and the victory will still belong to you." The successive rounds of artillery attacks completely stunned the soldiers guarding River Valley Town. Due to the artillery attack just now, the soldiers could not clearly see the specific situation of the enemy, and they had no time. Observing, at this time, when the artillery fire stopped, it was discovered that more than half of the massive enemy was actually swallowed up by the artillery fire. Only hundreds of cavalry rushed to the position and the infantrymen who fled were also driven by the nobles' personal guards and chased them again. Following the footsteps of the cavalry, they quickly rushed towards the defense line of River Valley Town. Perhaps they were afraid of another artillery bombardment. This time, the infantry unleashed their full potential and moved forward at full speed. The distance was quickly shortened. Then, Halson's command sounded on the position. Hearing Halson's command, three rows of musketeers crossed the artillery team and met the cavalry rushing over from a distance.
