Warlord: King of All Clans

On both wings of the line infantry, Bjorn led five hundred wild folk snipers to spread out across the battlefield in a more disorderly manner.

As the production of rifled guns increased, Bjorn had more elite shooters. Not only the wild folk, but also the river musketeers with excellent shooting performance could join the special sniper regiment.

In addition to the musketeers, Marvin's artillery regiment no longer looked for artillery positions, but instead pushed two-wheeled artillery with iron gun mounts to fight in coordination with the line infantry.

Because half of the artillery was still in charge of the artillery positions in various parts of Asgar City, Marvin only had twenty field guns in this battle.

The thinness of the front line caused the queue to be stretched out, turning it into a loose line of soldiers stretching for a kilometer.

Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like a group of scattered ants facing five large beetles.

Their only defense was to temporarily bury some sharp wooden stakes protruding forward in front of their feet before the battle to slightly block the cavalry's head-on charge.

From the perspective of the generals in the cold weapon era, such a deployment of troops was simply vulnerable. Three hundred light cavalry could turn them into a mess.

But Locke knew how powerful the enemy was and did not dare to underestimate them. After slowly advancing several hundred meters, he slowed down appropriately when he was 500 meters away from the River Bend Legion, allowing the slightly loosened infantry phalanx to restore order.

Seeing the enemy approaching, Leo no longer hesitated and ordered, "Artillery coverage."

The messenger beside him quickly waved the command flag and blew the horn.

Amid the melodious sound of the horn, Marvin looked at the flag in the direction of the commander, and then gave the order, "Three rounds of shotgun rapid fire, target, infantry phalanx."

After several baptisms of war, the artillery of Hewan became more calm, moving quickly and smoothly. In just a few seconds, the first round of artillery shells fell into the infantry phalanx.

Dense shotgun shells penetrated the shields and armor of the front-row heavy infantry, creating a gap between the two phalanxes.

The dense rain of deadly bullets covered the sky and even though only a few of them hit the soldiers' heads, it still caused a large number of casualties.

For the lucky heavy infantrymen, the shotgun shells lost most of their kinetic energy after penetrating their shields, leaving a dent in their plate breastplates.

It was as if the strong infantrymen who had been hit by a hammer were still able to continue fighting.

But there were also some unlucky infantrymen who were hit directly by shotgun shells and killed instantly.

Some infantrymen were hit directly in the head, their iron helmets were smashed, their heads exploded, and their blood was smeared on more than a dozen teammates around them, continuously releasing terror.

Even Leo couldn't bear to watch it. The new shotgun bombardment of the tightly-packed infantry phalanx was simply a massacre.

Meanwhile, the flag-bearing knight in charge of the heavy-armored phalanx in the Kurolov Corps could not help but yell, urging the soldiers in the back row of the phalanx, "Fill in! Fill in! Maintain the formation!"

As the Hewan artillery opened fire, Locke also ordered: "Cavalry attack, charge the enemy's artillery positions!"

The cavalry commander was a mid-level extraordinary knight. Seeing the enemy's artillery was so sharp, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

But he is a brave knight of the North who dares to charge towards a dragon. How can he shrink back at this time?

He immediately shouted, "Knights! The moment of glory has come! Charge!"

Under his leadership, the armored knights of the Kurolov Legion began to cross the infantry phalanx and rush towards the artillery at the river bend.

These are the fiefdom knights of the Earldom of Kurolov. Many of them have been promoted to extraordinary levels and their families are much wealthier than the knights of Isenbol.

Not only are all members armored, but even the knight squires around them are armored knights.

If they crossed the line of fire and rushed into the artillery team, the unarmored artillerymen would become human targets under their lances.

Marvin had no choice but to give up bombarding the infantry phalanx and turn the gun to aim at the armored knights who were rushing forward first.

Seeing the Armored Knights rushing towards them, the River Bay artillerymen couldn't help but panic and began to reload hastily.

The new artillery had a faster rate of fire than the previous old model, but it was still a smoothbore muzzle-loading cannon, and could only fire a few shots against the charge of armored knights.

Leo couldn't help but respond to these brave armored cavalry, so he ordered: "Let Bjorn handle these armored cavalry."

Without Leo's order, the skirmishers scattered around the line of infantry had already pointed their rifles at the rushing armored troops.

If the armored knights on the opposite side fought a few more battles with the River Bend muskets, they would definitely abandon the iron armor and horse armor that they relied on to save their lives in the past and choose to travel light.

After all, under the attack of artillery and rifled guns, the fate of plate knights and light cavalry is exactly the same.

The difference is that the latter rushes faster and has a better chance of reaching the artillery.

The Virgil rifle in Bjorn's hand has a larger caliber, longer range, and greater power than the standard rifled rifle. He set his eyes on the intermediate-level extraordinary knight who was leading the way on the opposite side, so he raised his gun and aimed.

With one shot, the rune steel armor on the chest of the intermediate knight shattered and vomited blood.

He had extraordinary armor and magic self-defense, and he actually managed to survive the bullet.

But then several more bullets came and hit the horse he was riding.

The armored warhorse was hit by a bullet and lost control, wailing and rolling forward. The heavy weight broke its fragile front legs.

The aimed shooting of the Savage snipers slightly slowed down the charge of the armored knights, giving the River Bend artillery time to reload.

Two rounds of artillery fire and three rounds of concentrated fire from skirmishers successfully defeated the thousand armored troops, leaving half of their bodies scattered to both sides.

But the five heavily armored phalanxes had also approached and were within a hundred meters.

The musketeers on both sides began to shoot.

But the musketeers in Hewan kept firing in a three-stage pattern. The flintlock rifles in their hands had a faster firing rate and greater power. More than 2,000 line musketeers formed a one-kilometer-long firing line, which was five times longer than the opponent's musketeers crowded in the middle of the heavy armored infantry phalanx.

A heavy armored phalanx of one thousand men was only equipped with five hundred musketeers, and five phalanxes meant two thousand five hundred men.

The number of people is about the same, but the firepower they deliver is less than one-third of that of the line infantry.

After three rounds of shooting, smoke rose from the positions of both sides. The difference was that the smoke of Kurolov's Corps was thick and dazzling, gathered into a ball, while the smoke of the River Bend Line Infantry was thin and light, and dissipated quickly.

A large number of Kurolov Corps' sword-and-shield soldiers, spearmen, and musketeers fell on the battlefield, and although the line infantry of the river bend also suffered casualties, the number was not large.

After all, if you want to hit a thin line at a hundred meters away, you need accurate shooting or powerful firepower, but if you want to hit a dense crowd in an infantry phalanx, you just need to shoot in the general direction.

Despite this, the powerful Kurolov Corps did not collapse and continued to advance.

At this time, Locke saw the opportunity, raised his slender fingers and snapped them.

Invisible waves of blood magic spread out, and suddenly a large group of dragon knights emerged from the mountain ridge hundreds of meters away!

This is the real killer move of the Kurolov Legion. Fifty dragon knights control two-legged dragons to walk in the mountains and forests, lying in ambush near the battlefield, waiting for the two armies to become stalemate in the battle.

At this time, the artillery was dealing with the armored troops, the muskets were dealing with the phalanx, and the fifty unrestrained dragon knights became the key to victory.

Of course, the River Bend Legion could also choose to turn their guns around and shoot the flying dragons, but if they did so, they would be approached by the Kurolov heavy armored phalanx and would also be doomed to collapse.

If war is like playing chess, the Kurolov Corps was one step behind in every move, but they were the first to checkmate!

Leo had been watching the battle calmly, not even blinking when a stray bullet flew by him. When he saw the dragon rider swooping down from the horizon, he said to a brown bear-like sturdy man beside him, "Protect me."

This is a hunter king in Earl Beowulf's territory. This time, Leo blocked Kurolof's army from behind, so Beowulf entrusted him to assist the army as a high-level combat force of the River Bend Legion.

The wild hunter king, who was wearing snow bear skin, had war marks all over his face and looked like a brown bear, didn't know what to say, but still nodded: "No problem."

Leo then dismounted, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated.

The next second, a blue magic light gate opened behind him.

A huge black dragon rushed out from behind him!

Alchemical Dragon Nighold!
