Chapter 71 Shotguns against Cavalry
The artillery on the high ground had noticed the enemy approaching, and the spearmen who came to assist them fixed the bottom of their spears on the ground, ready to defend against the cavalry.
After Paul's order was passed, the artillerymen adjusted the direction of the cannons filled with shotgun shells and pointed them at the place where the Bayerdin knights had to pass on their route.
Abbott saw the Arda soldiers who turned around and took a defensive posture.
Humph! Graman only arranged two thin layers of spearmen to face them, and they could rush through them in one go.
The knights of this era had their own fiefs, wore the best equipment, ate the best food, and had a lofty social status. Under the repeated indoctrination of virtues such as loyalty and bravery, they regarded honor and faith as more important than their own lives. All of the above gave the knights powerful material and spiritual strength.
Once they violated the virtues of loyalty and bravery, such as receiving the order of the lord to charge but shrinking back, they would lose everything, which was a punishment more terrible than death for the knights.
Therefore, although charging is dangerous, they will still rush towards the enemy without hesitation. The first knight to contact the enemy will receive supreme honor and reward, regardless of whether he survives or not.
The knights and their horses are all wearing thick armor, which makes them natural heavy cavalry.
The horses also wear special iron masks on their heads. This mask only leaves an opening in the front. The horse's field of vision is close to 360 degrees. It can see the terrain and obstacles in front through a small field of vision between the mask opening and the blind spot in front. The smaller field of vision prevents the horse from being distracted by things on both sides or being frightened by the endless forest of spears.
When facing the spear formation, the knight's charge is not to hit it head-on. Even if the person is determined to die, the horse will instinctively avoid sharp objects. That is done when the horse's eyes are completely blinded when the battle situation is forced, and it also needs to meet certain terrain and distance requirements.
Generally, the first row of knights throw javelins or shoot with short bows, then spread out to both sides, and the knights behind decide whether to continue throwing javelins or charge directly according to the situation. After opening a small gap, the subsequent cavalry will quickly expand the breakthrough and rush into the phalanx to kill.
Unless they have undergone long-term rigorous training, ordinary people will collapse psychologically before the opponent starts throwing javelins when facing the powerful power of the knights' group charge. Those infantry phalanxes composed of temporarily recruited militias will often scatter in a hurry.
Although Abbot led only a few dozen cavalry, as they got closer and closer, they still caused a huge sense of oppression to the Alda army, and many soldiers were nervous and sweating.
"It's bad, I was too arrogant!"
Looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, Paul regretted it in his heart. He might not be able to stop the two rows of spearmen.
He and the two battalion commanders whipped their horses hard and ran along the formation of the team, hoping to quickly convey the new order to the entire army: "The third to sixth rows all move backwards!"
The sudden order to change the formation caused some confusion in the team, especially when the enemy cavalry rushed over at high speed.
Abut looked at the changes in the Arda team and sneered in his heart: "Humph! It's too late! The formation is so thin that it's simply looking for death."
He chose the gap between the two infantry battalions and prepared to break through there and attack the infantry in front from the front.
Then the artillery of the Arda army sounded!
It was a terrifying thing for 8 cannons to fire shotguns at the same time. With the flash of fire and the rise of thick smoke, each cannon sprayed hundreds of shotguns, creating a fan-shaped area with an arc length of 30 to 50 meters within a distance of 400 meters in front. The terrifying and deadly metal storm rushed towards the Bayerdin cavalry.
Just as Abbott and the knights near him raised their spears, countless deadly projectiles also attacked from their right side. Nearly half of the 30-horse assault team were swept down directly, and both the horses and the riders were shot into sieves. The protection they wore did not play any role.
The rest were almost injured. The horses that were not dead either fell to the ground and neighed in pain, or ran around uncontrollably. The knights who fell to the ground struggled to avoid being trampled by their mounts, or wailed uncontrollably because of the pain of their wounds.
The knights who followed the team were very lucky not to be hurt. The tragedy in front of them made them lose their judgment directly, and let their mounts carry them around on the battlefield after being frightened.
Paul stared at the tragic scene in front of him in a daze, feeling a little familiar, and said to himself: "Morale is white."
He quickly reacted and ordered the four rows of spearmen in the back to turn around and deal with the infantry in front with all their strength.
In fact, the will of the Bayerdin soldiers in front had been shattered. In the process of approaching the Arda army again, they were hit by two rounds of volleys from the musket company and a round of mortar bombardment. Their morale had reached the bottom, and many people had quietly deserted.
Finally, the soldiers who were not close to the musket company reached the front of the Arda army. They tried several times to disrupt the line formation of the spearmen, but no matter how they "teasing", as long as they dared to approach, the other side had only one action - stabbing, stabbing without avoidance or cover.
Following the officer's command, a row of spears stabbed in unison, and each time they could take the lives of a group of people.
Finally, after there was no hope of breaking through, they subconsciously distanced themselves from the other side. The fear of death made them instinctively resist moving forward and let the whip of the supervising knights whip themselves.
When the knights of the Governor pulled out the sword and were about to slaughter several timid ghosts, he saw the terrible passage of the entire army through the gap between the Alda army.
A lot of Bayerdin militia standing in front also saw it. "The Cavaliers who copied the enemy were overwhelmed!" The terrible news soon spread in the crowd, but it was the prestigious knight in the usual way!
The militia next to the Cavaliers of the Governor prayed for him not to let them continue to death. The knights who reacted to the whip scattered the crowd, and rushed to the back without looking back.
Seeing that the Alfa in front raised his spear, he was about to rush over. The abandoned Bayerdin militia cried and knelt on the ground to pray for the enemy's life, and even the escape was gone.
The overall situation has been set, and Paul said to the officers around him: "Everyone, it seems that we can have dinner in the city of Butuya today."
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
The order was quickly issued: The first Step Camp and the muskets were close to the city gate of Butuya, and the second Salvaton camps gathered the captives.
Nympho
An Qiluo and others have been observing the battlefield, and now they finally realize that failure is already inevitable.
"Abut, an idiot, bastard, he failed!"
He cursed Aibut fiercely, and now everything is over.
"Master Guan, what should I do now? Should I return to the city and stay in the city?"
The two baron's face was desperate.
An Qiluo shook his head: "Even if he gathered back to some defeats, he could use it with farts. Butuya couldn't keep it."
He pointed to the south: "We can't stay in our own territory, so we can't resist the Graman's army with the remaining old and young women and children. Earl, he will definitely keep us. "
The three immediately reached an agreement and ran in the opposite direction of the Alda army.
Thanks to the reward of "Purple Fan Kui", "Irvoda" and "Hades, Harley".
