Chapter 150: Three Kilometers Covered in Death

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Four or five shells fell into Alfonso's cavalry, killing more than a hundred knights, who were much luckier than the rest of the troops who had been washed by the shells.

However, they can also be unlucky.

The war horses are all trained, because they are afraid that the enemy may bury an explosion circle on the battlefield, and the sound of the explosion will panic the war horses, thus disturbing the morale of the army, so these horses have all undergone special training, and they will not panic too much after passing through the explosion zone.

Of course, the premise is that the explosion can't suddenly happen around you, in that case, not a horse, even a monster will have to be scared half to death.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Alfonso urged the knights around him, charging in a wall formation, in a dense formation, and rushed towards the new army of Remlos Castle.

Most of these knights were landless knights, and the armor and weapons provided by Haraus were all knights, so all the knights, including Alfonso, had the coat of arms of the blue maple leaf on their bodies, indicating the power they belonged to.

The road, which had been muddy due to the previous heavy rain, was now flat again, and the horses trampled on the ground and raised dust four or five meters high, which looked unusually spectacular from a distance, like a landslide cracking the ground.

"Raise your gun!"

The commander of the first battalion drew his command knife, put it on his shoulder, and shouted.

The soldiers moved in unison, raising their guns in unison to aim ahead, and the open space was spacious enough that the 500 rao teams lined up in two rows to ensure that the fire would not stop and the enemy would break through.

The speed of the rebels was extremely fast, and the distance of three thousand meters ran to about a thousand meters in a few minutes.

"The cannon is coming!

Not all of the cannons were dropped to the rear for artillery support, and three newly created howitzers were sent to the front by Murphy to bolster infantry firepower.

It's just that these three cannons are different, and the purpose of their falling to the front line is to use direct fire, that is, to strike at the enemy in the form of cannons.

"Quick! Where's the artillery crew, Hurry up and reload!" Vanner, the commander of the 2nd Regiment, personally came to the front line and commanded.

"Commander Vanna, the cannon can't be so close to the battlefield, right? In case the enemy rushes up......" Kevin, the deputy commander, touched his chin, a little worried.

"Hey, what are you afraid of? Look at the enemy barracks! Do they have the strength to fight the artillery? As long as a cannonball goes down, no matter how strong the knight is, he has to lie down!" said Vanner, with a twitch of disdain.

"Report to the Commander!

"Fire!"

Three cannons were erected on the slopes of the hills on either side, aimed at the cavalry rushing in the distance.

The artillerymen used trigonometric functions to calculate the position of the commander, using a large tree near the enemy as a reference, and then adjusted the muzzle of the gun and aimed at Alfonso.

At the command of Vanna, the artillerymen opened fire!

"Boom, boom!!"

Three shells came out of their chambers, almost in a straight trajectory, and flew towards Alfonso's cavalry below.

There was basically no sound when the cannon was discharged, and the cavalry team was unaware of the approaching danger, but still held the cavalry guns and charged in a dense wall pattern.

However, the light of the moment was noticed by the knight who was observing the surrounding situation, but it was too late at this moment.

"Danger!

The knight, who had noticed the cannon fire, roared, alarming Alfonso, who was silent.

At this time, Alfonso also reacted, his legs clamped violently, the war horse was in pain, and rushed forward, Alfonso took advantage of this power to stick his body on the horse's back, and also charged forward!

"Boom!"

A cannonball exploded near the place where Alfonso had just landed, and a few knights were unlucky, just within the range of the explosion, and the fragmented stump was directly blown up four or five meters high.

Alfonso only felt the heat in his back, and two pieces of unknown things broke through his back armor and embedded themselves in his flesh.

"Damn it!"

Alfonso cursed angrily, and drove his horse to speed up, in his opinion, as long as he attacked the opponent's army, everything would be better.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The light on the mountain flickered almost all the time, and after each flicker, a cannonball flew into the cavalry formation

The original wall charge formation of the Alfonso cavalry team also dispersed at this moment, turning into a line charge, and after approaching a distance of about 300 meters, it changed into a wedge charge formation, which was the most lethal formation for infantry.

"Aim!"

The commander of the first battalion shouted again, and the fighters standing in the first row aimed at their target.

Because Alfonso rushed the hardest, at least two dozen guns were aimed at him at this time.

Alfonso sensed danger again, but now the artillery fire on the mountain was far away from him at this time, and it was impossible for the enemy army to have archers of level 5 and above, so it stands to reason that there was no one on this battlefield to threaten him, but where did this feeling of palpitations come from?

"No matter, let's finish this battle first!" Alfonso shook his head, banishing all these thoughts from his mind, and leaned down to hold his gun.

"Put!"

"Bang bang ......"

When the enemy was only 150 meters away, the command knife in the hand of the first battalion commander fell, and a row of smoke and dust was instantly raised on the front line, and all 250 flintlock guns in the first row were fired.

Alfonso was horrified when he saw the smoke rising from the opposite side, and finally understood where his palpitations were coming from, but it was too late.

"Why do they have arquebuses? Aren't all arquebuses made in Crescent City?, and why do those guys use them too?"

"Puff puff ......"

More than twenty buckshots, eleven of them hit Alfonso's body, penetrating his fighting armor and armor, penetrating his body and carrying him off his horse.

However, his feet were still hanging from the stirrups, and his frantic neighboring horses dragged his corpse around, and the hooves of the other knights' horses were constantly trampling Alfonso's head, chest, and abdomen......

Even his helmet had been deflated, and a large depression had been stepped on in his chest, and the last of Harlaus's men had died in such a place.

However, once the knight charges, there will be no rear turbulence, otherwise the morale of the entire cavalry will directly collapse, causing a greater chain reaction.

So even if the commander is dead now, they have to grit their teeth and rush up, as long as they break through the infantry defenses of the armies, and this is how they dealt with the musketeers when they conquered Crescent City.

"First row loaded! Second row!"

The commander of the first battalion kept commanding, and he could see that the enemy was thinking, but the musketeers of Remlos Fort were not the musketeers of Crescent City, whether in terms of equipment, organization, or will to fight, this was a rare strong army in the world!
