Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World Chapter 69

"Father in heaven!" An Qiluo and the others who stayed in place were stunned. Within half an hour of the battle, two of their four teams collapsed. Shocked, they forgot to send archers to reinforce them.

From this distance, they couldn't see clearly what weapon the opponent was using. According to the description of the people who came back to ask for help, the Arda people used a powerful "fire crossbow". Come on, the power is outrageous, those militiamen who don't wear any protection will die next to each other, and they will be injured when they touch it.

As soon as the soldiers asking for help finished speaking, the lords saw another group of people walking in the front fell, and the soldiers fled in all directions. Then the third phalanx was "opened" with several big holes, and they watched helplessly. Watching the whole team collapse in an instant.

The most difficult thing now is Bairding's second phalanx. The troops in front were disintegrated, and the troops behind were also disintegrated. He stood alone in the middle, and if he continued to move forward, he would end up in the same way if he failed to keep it in order. If he retreated , and did not receive the order from the lord, for a while, from the commanding knight to the soldiers below, they were all caught in a tangle.

The knight commanding the fourth phalanx saw that the people in front were hesitating, so they also stopped advancing, standing still and watching.

According to Paul's original plan, the pikemen should charge after a salvo of muskets to completely defeat the first phalanx, but now they have almost run away without charging men. Being cautious by nature, he instructed Bryce not to Chasing the rout, he didn't want the troops to be too far apart. It would be troublesome if they were surrounded by the opponent's cavalry.

Paul then ordered all the troops to move forward as a whole, the marching drums were beaten, and the two battalions moved forward slowly stepping on the beat of the drums.

Abbott's face turned blue: "It can't go on like this!"

An Qiluo said anxiously: "Let's gather all the knights and militiamen and crush them with one charge!"

The two barons were shocked, and begged with bitter faces, "My lord, please think carefully! This time almost all the labor in our territory has been brought here." "If they all die here, no one will work in our territory." If you live, the old, young, women and children will starve to death!"

The men of Arda had been terrified of their terrible weapons, and only the evil magic of legends could have such malevolent power in their knowledge. Small lords like them have a small population in their territory. This time, they brought all the young men who could be recruited. One is to please the two viscounts, and the other is to grab more things and gifts when they reach the Arda Territory. Divide a little more loot. Looking at the confident looks of the two viscounts, they thought it was an armed parade that would end within a few days without delaying the farm work in the fields. Who would have hit a big snag before they started.

Angelo was furious: "Go to the **** territory! Go to the **** old, young, women and children! Don't forget what we did to old Ganard, this time is no ordinary dispute between lords! Man won, do you think it's over if you pay him a sum of money? Do you think you can continue to be a lord safely? We will all go to jail, we will all be hanged, and our property will be deprived!"

He threatened the two little lords with a hideous face: "Your family members will be reduced to slaves, and your wives and daughters will be toyed with by Greyman, but at that time you will already be hanging on the gallows."

The two barons fell silent, overwhelmed by the horror described by Angelo.

Abbott was somewhat calm: "Looking at the effect of the opponent's weapon, rushing forward will inevitably end up being destroyed again!"

An Qiluo was furious: "Then what do you say?" He was good at government affairs and only knew a little about military affairs. Don't look at how he threatened the two barons just now, in fact, he is now in a state of confusion.

Before the battle, I was full of confidence, but after the battle, I found out that the opponent was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. It feels uncomfortable to fall from the clouds.

Abbott said to the soldiers who asked for help just now: "Ride a horse and tell the people in the remaining two teams to spread out as much as possible and not to crowd so densely."

He was deeply annoyed. The opponent's weapon should be similar to a bow and arrow. If he hadn't used such a dense formation when advancing, he wouldn't have killed so many people in an instant.

In order to defend against the impact of the cavalry and to form a greater weapon attack density on the same frontal width, the infantry was very close to each other, which just enhanced the lethal effect of the Arda army's firearms.

He hated the knight commanding the army in front of him: "Gleiman has no cavalry, and we have more people than them. Why are we lining up so densely?"

Now that his annoyance was useless, he said to the other three lords: "Send the archers to follow behind to suppress their long-range weapons, and let those in front scatter to entangle the people of Arda to attract their attention. I will lead All the knights go around and charge behind them from the right!"

Everyone agreed and ordered all the knights around them to gather and charge after Abbott, and the messengers also ran forward to deliver new orders.

The knights assembled much faster, and after a while, they formed an attack formation and urged their mounts to gallop.

On weekdays, knights in several adjacent territories would gather together from time to time to hold martial arts competitions or group hunting. The martial arts competition was to learn from each other to improve their personal martial arts skills, and the hunting was to improve the knights' team combat ability. Although the group combat ability honed in this way is not as good as those regular knights who have been training together for many years, but in a rural place like the Northwest, once they are assembled, they are a powerful and unparalleled force.

With the cover of the infantry still on the battlefield, Abt led the knights to make a big turn, and ran from the right to the rear of Arda's army~www.mtlnovel.com~The formation of the Bairdin has changed , the knight in charge shouted: "Everyone disperse, all disperse! After you disperse, the opponent's weapons will not be able to hit you."

The soldiers distanced themselves from each other in a chaotic manner, and the two phalanxes gradually joined together to form an indescribably shaped formation. From a distance, it looked like a large group of people standing there sparsely.

This also brought about difficulties in command. When the knight ordered to move on, many people couldn't hear them at all, and stood there blankly, at a loss as to what to do.

On Arda's side, the Musket Company and the Artillery Company fired again, but the effect was not very satisfactory. One was because the distance was too far, and the other was because the opponent's formation became loose, and the hit rate plummeted. However, it still caused the enemy's attack. Panic again.

Paul ordered: "It's time to put our spearmen on the field, tell the artillery battery to fire two rounds of shotgun, and then the two battalions will rush to smash them together."

Since the solid ammunition of the artillery is not effective against the enemy's loose formation, replace it with shot ammunition to increase the killing area.

At this time, some soldiers spotted the enemy knights who tried to rush over from the side and rear, and immediately issued an alarm. A staff officer yelled in panic: "My lord, the opponent's knight has circled behind us!"

Paul was startled, and he turned his attention to the infantry in front of him. Unexpectedly, the knight on the other side went around and touched him.

"The last two rows, turn back! Get ready to withstand the impact!" Fortunately, he discovered in time that there was still a large group of enemy infantry in front, and he did not intend to form a hollow phalanx.

Another order was issued to the artillerymen: "Quick! Let the artillerymen turn their muzzles and bombard the enemy knights approaching us!"

When the artillerymen received new orders from Paul, they had just finished loading shotguns...
