Chapter 116: A Fierce Battle
"Ah!" another heavy cavalry of the Kingdom of Norsland was shot off his horse, and when facing the crossbow arrows, the Norslan cavalry, which had been looking very strong, finally began to suffer casualties. Anna, who had already lost a hundred cavalry, just casually calculated, knew that this time she wanted to get close to those enemies who were constantly firing, and she would have to lose at least two hundred people.
The two bolts hit Anna almost simultaneously, and the bolts were bounced off by the arc of the armor, but Anna felt the force that shook her heart.
She finally suppressed the uncomfortable feeling, and whispered a prayer for what she longed for the most: "Victory!"
"Die!" Almost at the same time, one of the surviving gunners of the Delman Empire aimed the magic crystal cannon, which had been used as a reserve, at the heavy cavalry of the Kingdom of Norsland, which was rapidly approaching them not far away.
"Hopefully, you can carry this too!Northern Barbarian!" After cursing loudly, he opened fire, and then the magic crystal cannon began its performance.
"Bang!" The seemingly unfast rate of fire, and the unpleasant-sounding sound of fire, suddenly made the battlefield noisy. A cannonball hit the knight blocking its path, and then shredded the poor creature in its path.
Then, after breaking the neck of the Norslan hoplite, the cannonball broke the knight's body, and then flew behind the knight, shattering the armor of another soldier and piercing the knight's chest.
Then, with an indomitable momentum, the cannonball continued to fly forward, burrowing into the body of the third knight, shattering the knight's heart. When he spat blood from his mouth and rolled over and fell off the back of his warhorse, a mist of blood was already filling his side.
Another cannonball entered the crowd at this time, and it was also in an unstoppable state. The knight's blood splattered on the face of the other knight, and the arm of the other knight fell into the arms of his comrades behind him.
The new firepower began to reap the lives of countless heavy cavalry of the Kingdom of Northland, and the Norslan cavalry who were about to crash into the position of the Delman Empire fell one after another in their own path.
Once again, the battlefield turned into a complete slaughter, only this time it was not the hoplites of the Kingdom of Norsland who began to kill their opponents, but the magic crystal cannons that used even more terrifying shells.
"Crossbow!" shouted the crossbowman hysterically as he turned his head to his companion as the enemy was already in front of him, and he had to fire the bolt against the clock.
Beside him, several crossbow bolts were thrown at him
Once again, the archer aimed his crossbow at the Grosland hoplites, who had been crumbling by the cannonfire. Without hesitation, he pulled his trigger, and his crossbow bolt charged at the enemy on the opposite side, leaving a mist of blood on the enemy's body.
Anna felt that her breathing was becoming difficult, and she saw the knights in front of her fall one after another on the way forward, and she saw the knights beside her one by one shattered in the bloody rain.
Perhaps, her casualties have exceeded two hundred, right? Perhaps, there are already three hundred, right? Anna, who did not dare to look at how many knights were left, now had only one thought, and that was to rush into the enemy's position in front of her as soon as possible.
Once upon a time, she longed to rush into the enemy's position because she longed for victory after victory, for the kind of great victory that would stimulate her nerves. But this time was different, she longed to rush into the enemy's position, because she knew that only then would she be able to live.
It was a ridiculous causal relationship, but Anna found that she couldn't laugh at all. The enemies in front of her didn't know when they began to become invincible, and the figures of those cowardly Imperial people became tall like giants at this moment.
In her path, there seemed to be an invisible wall, and the heavy cavalry of the Kingdom of Norsland who crashed into this wall would be blurred and shattered. No matter how brave and powerful they once were, they became fragile and small in front of this insurmountable wall.
"When was the last time you felt powerless to defeat your opponent?" Anna asked herself bitterly in her heart, but no one gave her this answer.
"For the Kingdom of Norsland! Forward!" Anna was in the center of the cavalry, shouting loudly to encourage the soldiers to advance. This may be the first time in several years that the army of the Kingdom of Norsland has been beaten so badly by the Imperials.
"Long live the Kingdom of Norsland!" As if from a roar in their hearts, these hoplites of the Kingdom of Norsland shouted as if this was the only way to give them the courage to continue their assault on the enemy position.
"It seems that on the frontal battlefield, we have won. Alonso looked at the troops of the Seru Khan, who had been beaten again.
As he spoke, the Kurut cavalry of the Seru Khan on the frontal battlefield had almost half fallen. This is definitely a fatal blow to a cavalry team, because the remaining troops are completely unable to continue the attack.
These cavalrymen were disorganized, they didn't know how to face the corpses of their comrades and countless blood, they had lost their fighting spirit, and they didn't even have the courage to continue charging forward.
Some soldiers wanted to turn their horses back, some wanted to stop and wait for orders, some had already been shot through the body, and some were helplessly following their generals to continue the charge.
Anna wants to stabilize her troops, and she wants to work hard again towards victory. She rode her Norslan steed, constantly approaching the enemy position directly in front of her.
"Closer, closer!" Seeing that the target was already close at hand, she felt the horse under her crotch suddenly lose its strength. Her whole body fell forward because of inertia, and in front of her, the adjutant who had been protecting her was covered in blood and fell down at the same time.
The cannonball pierced the lieutenant's body, and at the same time hit the Norslan horse under Anna's crotch. Anna didn't have time to think, she rolled on the spot the moment she fell to the ground, and at the same time threw away the broken riding spear and drew the sword at her waist.
She crashed into the corpse of the adjutant's warhorse, stood up unharmed, and then stepped into her own footsteps to meet the Delman Empire soldiers who were close at hand. Her armor had gone gray, and she had begun to breathe, the heavy armor that had become a burden to Anna after losing the support of the Norslan horses. So her gait was a little staggering, and her figure was no longer sharp.
