The Sun King's Evidence

The imperial army formed in a hurry, and many soldiers were not ready for battle.

Elector Umberto immediately realized in a hurry that their previously discussed plan had failed, and Casfan's army had descended from the mountain ahead of schedule!

"Advance! Knights of Britannia! Tear the enemy to pieces! For the lady!" Casfan stood in the military formation and roared towards his army.

The knights blew the horns, the war horses moved their hooves, the knights errant formed a formation of lances, preparing to charge towards the imperial army, the serf archers drew their short bows, and rockets and ordinary arrows shot out from the cloth in pieces. The Retanian army spilled out of the formation and roared towards the imperial army.

Many Imperial swordsmen and spearmen were hit by arrows, and dozens of soldiers fell immediately.

Faced with the sudden attack, the empire's army seemed a little panicked. They pushed each other, their formations were chaotic, and they were looking for each other's formations. They were caught off guard by the Brittanian knights.

Seeing that the morale of the imperial army was unstable, Kasfann showed a satisfied expression.

This is what he needs.

After Casfan convened a military meeting, the Duke, who had experienced many battles, immediately realized that the imperial army would not only not defend, but would take the initiative to attack, because Karl Franz had this need.

And if the confrontation lasts for a long time, the situation will be harmful to the emperor. He must take the initiative to attack, otherwise Casfan's army from afar will be able to get enough rest time.

Kasfann immediately judged that the empire would launch an attack early this morning, so the Duke asked the Lake God Prophet accompanying the army to cast a large-scale magical spell - the goddess mist. Relying on the cover of the mist, the army entered the battlefield and waited for the ground to work. To the Imperial troops still crossing the river.

The knights quickly broke through the first line of the imperial army's formation. The weak crossbowmen and spearmen were attacked by the knights before they could react. The first line was quickly broken through. Brittania's knights-errant used The lance quickly broke through the Imperial army's defenses.

"Oh no!"

"Help!"

"Ahhh!"

The morale of several infantry battalions and crossbowmen companies in the first array of the Imperial Army collapsed under the impact of the knights. They screamed and fled in all directions. If the knights errant pursued them at this time, there would be a massacre.

However, the knights errant had received the Duke's order in advance and did not pursue these broken troops. They rushed directly towards the second formation of the imperial army.

According to Casfan's idea, the knights should take this opportunity to directly attack the central army. As long as they can break up the empire's front, victory will come.

The situation on the battlefield disappointed Casfan. Although the imperial army was in some confusion, the command ability of Elector Umberto was not easy. After the great elector reacted, he immediately commanded the imperial army. Regroup and launch a counterattack.

Reikland and Iveyland are the two richest provinces in the empire, and these armies are direct descendants of the emperor and electors. They reacted immediately after a brief daze, and the elite swordsmen and golden fleece knights commanded the remaining troops. The troops below formed several fronts.

At the call of the elector, the well-trained imperial troops still quickly formed their formations. The musketeers lined up in three rows, and the crossbowmen and archers formed a line and launched an attack on the galloping Brittanian army. attack.

"Bang bang bang~" A row of musketeers fired at the knights, and the lead bullets fired a barrage. Dozens of knights who rushed at the front fell instantly. The musketeers who had finished firing the ammunition were immediately reloading. Retreat, and the remaining musketeers immediately attack.

But none of this was any deterrent to the knights of Britannia. The knights errant shouted the name of the Lady of the Lake, galloped across the battlefield, and swept everything. The first row of the imperial army was completely overwhelmed by the knights errant.

"Kill! Madam, give us strength and protection!" The remaining serf infantry regiments, led by sergeants, rushed into the empire's military formation, and fierce hand-to-hand combat began, although the quality of Britannia's serf infantry regiments was not as good as The imperial army, but when the array was broken through, the imperial army could only get into a fight with the serf infantry regiments.

"Lady, protect me!!" A serf infantry thrust a spear into the chest of an imperial spearman, but then his arm was cut off by the imperial swordsman next to him.

"Suffer death! Mudblood on the other side of the mountain!" The imperial officer tried hard to restore the situation, but he immediately found himself surrounded by a tide of serf infantry.

Several spears pierced his chest and belly, and then a lance from a knight penetrated his body from behind.

The first line of the Imperial Army began to collapse.

The halberdiers formed a tight front, with sharp halberds lined up in several rows. Although the Brittanian knights-errant struggled to rush into the second formation again, they were already at the end of their crossbows, and the arrows were like locusts. The barrage of arrows and muskets caused the knights errant to fall off their horses.

More than two hundred pistol cavalry and pioneer cavalry flashed out from the flanks of the imperial military formation. These troops were composed of the children of the Nuer Gunnery Academy and the nobles. In the empire, all nobles put military merit first, and most of them Most of the children of the great nobles will be sent to study at the University of Braunschweig or the University of Nuer. Many children of the nobles will enter the Pistol Cavalry Regiment, looking forward to one day being recognized and becoming an official knight.

The Pioneer Cavalry is the best among the pistol cavalry. These people are also called Imperial Dragoons. They lead the pistol cavalry, ride war horses, have fancy beards, wear all kinds of bright clothes and fashionable hats, Surge out from behind the Imperial military formation.

There was only one chance, because it was impossible for the pistol cavalry to reload in front of the Brittanian knights. Therefore, when the pistol cavalry got slightly closer to the Brittanian army, the leading pioneer cavalry officer immediately shouted Said: "Get ready! Shoot!"

"Fire!" Groups of pistol cavalry and pioneer cavalry raised their muskets. Under the dim light of the early morning, thunderous volleys came from the battlefield.

"Bang bang~~" Although only one volley could be fired, this volley still achieved unimaginably good results. More than a hundred Brittanian knights-errant who were fighting hard in the second formation fell instantly, and they were densely packed. The barrage struck from the side, and the Brittanian knights-errant who were not prepared in a hurry suffered heavy losses from this attack. Many of the knights-errant's mounts were hit by lead bullets, and they fell off their horses and were captured on the spot.

(The army will not kill fallen knights. In the eyes of soldiers, these are living gold coins exchanged.)

The Pistols and Pioneers hit and run, and these light cavalry quickly disappeared behind the Imperial formation.

"For the Empire! For Charlemagne! Hold on!" Elector Umberto shouted angrily. The Elector's Holy Sword "Mother of Destruction" exuded aura of light in the darkness of the early morning. The morale of the Imperial soldiers was shaken. They worked hard to The Cavaliers blocked the second formation.

"Fight! Destroy the knights on the other side of the mountain! Victory belongs to the empire! For Charlemagne!" The great swordsmen entered the battlefield under the command of Elector Umberto. At the same time, the cannon brigade and the Hellstorm rocket launcher behind the battle formation finally Found a shooting opportunity.

Cannons roared, plowing deep furrows through the Breton army.

Hellstorm rocket launchers are made from single-barreled rockets mounted on vehicles and vehicle racks. These rockets are loaded with large amounts of black powder and are mounted on carts with tail fins and rocket ejection devices carefully crafted by Imperial engineering masters.

"Get ready! Fire!" Herman, the imperial engineering master from the Nuer Gunnery Academy, raised his hand: "Let go!"

"Boohoo~" Seven or eight rocket launchers shot into the sky. They put on a brilliant fireworks show in the sky of Helmgart, and then landed among the marching army of Britannia.

The devastating explosion shock wave swept through the Britannia military formation, and the accompanying ground shaking and roar swept away all the enemies. A large group of serf infantry regiments died on the spot in the bombing of the Hellstorm rocket pack.

The morale of Brittania's serf infantry began to deteriorate. Many serfs screamed and retreated. Groups of knights errant began to show their defeat. They began to retreat and try to reorganize their formation.

However, the poor accuracy of the Hellstorm rocket launchers also had negative consequences. Even though the Imperial engineers had worked hard to calibrate the accuracy of the rocket launchers, two rocket launchers also fell into the Imperial military formation.

The explosion blew the Imperials to pieces. The Imperial swordsmen who were directing the defense were bombarded by their own people, causing heavy casualties and shaking the array.

Casfan, who was in the middle of the army, finally waited for this opportunity.

After entering the battlefield, Casfan discovered that the empire's most elite demi-griffon knights, the Reik Guards and the emperor himself were not among the imperial army.

Obviously, Emperor Karl-Franz could not escape before the battle, so he must have led his elite to leave temporarily, or even planned to sneak around and attack his own army. Kasfan believed that there was no reason why the emperor should not know about such a huge war under Mount Doom. , so he must completely defeat Elector Umberto and the imperial army before Karl Franz returns with his elite!

Casfan turned his head calmly: "Canel!"

"Yes!" The Duke's lieutenant general, Earl Canel, nodded, and he raised his lance: "Knights! In the name of ladies, we went to fight in the empire. In the name of ladies, we fought fiercely here. Now, let us Give the Imperials a fatal blow!"

Three hundred kingdom knights and forty Pegasus knights responded loudly: "For the lady! For Britannia!"

This is the most elite force in Casfan's army. The Duke left this force to the end. Now, the knights of the kingdom will shout the name of the goddess and crush all enemies!

"go ahead!!!"

The cavalry formation composed of the Kingdom's knights swept across the wilderness like a raging wind. They turned into a hurricane of death. The Kingdom's knights, wearing crowns and gorgeous blouses, spoke little, but the impact they unleashed He defeated the resisting imperial army in one fell swoop.

The storm composed of the Kingdom's knights swept through the second formation of the Empire's army. Even the halberd and spear formation could not resist the group charge of the Kingdom's knights. Count Carnell identified a weak spot in the Empire's army that had just caused chaos, and he took the lead. , the lance penetrated an Imperial captain.

The strength of the knights of the Kingdom of Britannia instantly changed the balance of victory and defeat.

Count Canel drew out the sharp sword from his waist and cut an imperial swordsman into two pieces with one sword strike. Then, a torrent of steel swept across the entire battlefield. The Pegasus knight flew through the low altitude, rolling up the imperial soldiers and crushing them. into pieces.

The second formation of the Imperial Army began to collapse after the group charge of the Kingdom's knights. Elector Umberto and his electorate bodyguards - the Golden Fleece Knights and the Great Swordsman Legion finally appeared in Brittany. In front of the demihumans, the Elector ordered the Great Swordsman Legion to join the battlefield, barely stabilizing the situation.

At this time, the sky has begun to brighten, and the time has entered the early morning. In the cold weather, the imperial army is still fighting hard with the Brittanian army. Any attempt to reorganize the army has failed, and there are only There was smoke of melee.

Casfan knew that in terms of the battle situation alone, his army was currently at a slight advantage. Relying on the knights' numerical advantage and group attack, the imperial army was now temporarily at a disadvantage.

Yes, it was only temporary. Casfan knew that his army seemed to have a slight advantage at the moment, but the serf infantry regiments and sergeants had begun to show fatigue. The knights errant had to get into trouble with the imperial army after charging. Fighting, the number of kingdom knights is too small, it is still very difficult to fight in front of Elector Umberto.

Casfan knew that he could not place his hopes in the hands of the serf infantry regiments and sergeants, because the quality of Britannia's infantry was definitely not as good as that of the imperial army. It was still able to persist because it relied on the group attack of the knights. , the imperial army was wavering, and once Emperor Karl-Franz led the knights to return for reinforcements, he would fail.

Duke Palavon was hesitating. In addition to a thousand-man infantry regiment to guard against the emperor's surprise attack from behind, he also had a reserve of two hundred knights errant and fifteen hundred infantry.

Is this reserve force now going to go into battle?

Casfan was hesitant. If all the reserves were put into the battlefield, then it would be a big gamble. The bet was that he could defeat Umberto and his Knights of the Golden Fleece before the emperor returned for reinforcements. However, Umberto chose the emperor. Hou is a strong man in the holy realm who has experienced the great holy war. Kasfann knows that his strength is not as good as him, and the chance of winning this gamble is not very good.

The Duke of Palaion was still hesitating, but in the imperial army formation, the Elector of Tuscany Umberto Corleone completely calmed down. The bearded elector nodded: "Although it is not the same as imagined, But Kasfan took the initiative to attack, and Karl-Franz's goal has been achieved."

"Now, it's time for the knights of Brittany to see the power of our empire." Umberto waved his hand, and the engineers from the Noor Gunnery Academy and the Royal Academy of Engineering in Braunschweig expressed their understanding.

The battlefield situation suddenly changed. From among the empire's central army, five steel behemoths finally showed their fangs. Their huge bodies were driven by the compressed steam in the roaring pressure boilers. The steel behemoths rolled their huge wheels. , spewing steam and white smoke into the sky, entered the battlefield.

The Empire finally showed its trump card in this war.

Something happened at home, so I updated it early.
