Chapter 680: A Great Victory
var CPRO_9XU_ID = '117|u81'; -->
At this time, the coach Henry, who lacked experience in leading troops. Percy was completely stupefied. He saw that there were enemies everywhere, and the number of them was difficult to count. So, he was scared and overwhelmed......
However, there were still capable officers in the British army, and the adjutant Knight Hulk stepped forward at this time......
Hulk was originally Richard. Pol's subordinates have good military literacy. Moreover, Hulk followed Richard. Bol fought many battles, including the battle against False Richard in 1497.
Hulk, who also studied night attacks and counter-night attacks, knew that only by stabilizing his position could he try to fight back. It was already about half past four in the morning, and it was already dark. Just hold on a little longer, and the soldiers calm down and can fight back.
So Hulk climbed to the top and shouted:
"Officers of all battalions, gather soldiers on the spot and form a formation to resist!"
"Then, move closer to the middle in an orderly manner!"
Marin also heard Hulk's shout, and he was surprised:
"This kid has two brushes, so he's very good at it!"
"What's the use of getting it right, look at me!" Saqqara was right next to Marin, and he had many English archers under his wing. I saw Saqqara turn his head, call a few English archers, and point to Hulk, who was standing on a high place, and said:
"Shoot him!"
Several English archery masters nodded, and from a hundred meters away, they pulled out their English longbows and aimed at Hulk, who was still shouting......
"Officers of all battalions, gather soldiers on the spot and form a formation to resist!"
"Then, move closer to the middle in an orderly manner!"
Hulk shouted again, but as soon as he was about to shout a third time, there was a "whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-" sound in the sky. Then, several long arrows magnified in Hulk's eyes until they were all stuck in his body......
Hulk snorted and fell headlong from a great height, and his shouting stopped abruptly......
"Made, forgot to put on the plate armor......" was Hulk's last thought. However, it is no wonder that he is only busy directing the army to gather and counterattack, how can he have time to wear the troublesome plate armor......
Marin originally planned to use a musket, but looking at the distance, a distance of hundreds of meters, it was more accurate to bow and arrow. Because, if the smoothbore musket exceeds 50 meters, it is very difficult to aim. Therefore, it is not as accurate as the longbowmen under Saqqara.
But Hulk's words did work after all, although there were still many British soldiers running around under the deceitful shouts of the English soldiers of the Fourth Army. However, under the pressure of some British officers who heard Hulk's shout, many British soldiers, out of fear of their superiors, still obeyed the order, found weapons, and formed some small phalanxes to resist the onslaught of Marin's army......
"Yo, there are a lot of capable people! But, that's it......" After saying that, Marin turned around and beckoned, and called the men of the musket team:
"Go, attack the British who are in formation to protect themselves, and especially shoot the commander!"
Several commanders of the musket team immediately took their men and went around looking for the enemy troops in formation, armed with clockwork muskets that had just been reloaded...... Marin's soldiers are all wearing black cross vests on a white background, which is more conspicuous. In addition, now that the sky is bright, everyone basically won't hurt their own people by mistake......
Then, the scattered musketeers (including the English archers of the Fourth Legion), hiding behind the sword and shield men, aimed at the British troops in formation, and began to pull the trigger and fire the arrows. For those who formed small formations, or gunners, they were more careful to aim and shoot British commanders who were shouting to organize resistance......
"Listen to my command, raise your spear, and stab anyone who stands in your way! Then, head to the central tent! As soon as a British officer finished shouting, he heard a "snap" sound, and a large blood hole appeared on his body, and blood splashed the faces of the British soldiers around him......
The spherical buckshot was terrifying, and the projectile of the clockwork musket that Marlin equipped his men with weighed 30 grams, using the standard of a wartime brown bass flintlock pistol. According to this standard, a pound of lead makes 15 rounds of spherical buckshot, while the caliber of the musket is about 19.3 mm.
Although it was two-fifths less than the 50-gram bullet of the Spanish Mushquet musket, it was still very powerful. Moreover, the whole gun no longer looks bulky and does not need to be supported by a bracket for shooting. Marin believes that the British must have a reason for choosing this caliber and weight later. In the French army at the same time, the standard was to make 20 bullets for one pound of lead, and the bullet weight was 22.67 grams, which was much less powerful than the British musket, and the impact force in the face of plate armor was insufficient. There were many plate knights in this era, and in order to deal with the plate armor and facilitate the musketeers to march and assault, Marin finally chose the caliber of the British standard brown bass flintlock pistol......
And the 30-gram buckshot is also very powerful. The shouting officer, like Hulk, did not even have time to put on the plate armor, so he hurried out, encountered a musket more fierce than a bow and arrow, and was shot directly in the chest, and a huge bloody hole appeared. It probably hit the artery, the blood pressure was relatively high, and the blood spurted out directly, which was very terrifying......
After the cargo was blown up by a single shot, the small group of British soldiers around him were dumbfounded - the officers died tragically, and they were suddenly leaderless. Coupled with the demoralizing shouts of the soldiers of the Fourth Legion who had specially shouted, the group immediately dropped their weapons and dispersed......
……
Just as Marin was triumphantly watching the British army scurrying around, suddenly a feathered arrow in front of the left flew at a very fast speed and shot at Marin's chest, making a "duang" sound......
Marin was so frightened that he quickly turned his head to look - it turned out that not far from the left front, a small group of British troops had gathered...... This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this small group of British troops is full of longbowmen......
Graham, the leader of the shooter detachment, saw that Marin was clearly dressed and surrounded by people in the middle, and concluded that this was a big man, and he should be a high-ranking general of the enemy army, or maybe even the commander. So, he quietly opened his bow and aimed at Marin......
Unfortunately, Marin was wearing the easily recognizable White Emperor Black Cross Vest, and Graham didn't know that the vest was a breastplate inside, so he aimed at Marin's heart. It's a pity that "duang" broke Graham's dream of killing Marin in seconds......
You know, Graham fired the arrow from 50 meters away. As a shooter captain and a sharpshooter, he has a good eye in his eyes. Even if the sky was not yet bright, he used the light of half past four or five o'clock to find Marin, who was held by the stars, from a group of generals.
However, Graham didn't know that Marin, a death-fearing ghost, was wearing high-manganese steel plate armor, which was smelted from high-strength high-manganese steel from Hungarian soft manganese ore and iron ore together. In the face of the bow and arrow, there was nothing at all, only the black cross vest on a white background that was put on the outside was shot. Even if the musket hits Marin's high-manganese steel breastplate, it will at most shock Marlin, but it will not be fatal...... If it were replaced to shoot Marin's face, that little gap might be able to kill Marin......
But there weren't so many ifs in this world, and Graham missed a blow, and Marin retreated, surrounded by a group of muscle clubs in plate armor. Kahn, on the other hand, angrily carried his mace and rushed to the Graham shooter team 50 meters away...... The young master was shot with an arrow right under his nose, and it was like hitting him in the face...... So Karn went berserk......
Karn, whose combat strength does not rain and Dian Wei, is definitely invincible. Despite wearing a full suit of high-manganese steel plate armor, Karn was still extremely nimble.
At a distance of 50 meters, Karn was wearing plate armor and had scurried past in 10 seconds. Those who stood in the way on the way were directly knocked away by him......
Coming to Graham, Karn shouted with anger on his face:
"You're damned!" With that, he talked about the mace and smashed poor Graham flat. Still not satisfied, Karn continued to smash Graham's flattened corpse to vent his fury......
After smashing Graham to pieces, Karn hadn't finished his anger yet, and then he roared at the English longbowmen around him......
"Oh my god, devil!" The surrounding English longbowmen immediately scattered and fled. And Karn didn't chase after him, he was full of anger, and he directly carried the mace and rushed to the big tent of the British army......
Under the furious onslaught of Karn's figure, the British soldiers guarding the British army's tent in front of the Chinese army retreated. After reacting from the shock, Marin saw a good opportunity and immediately rushed forward with hundreds of muscle stick guards around him. Of course, he stood in the middle of these muscle sticks, and he was safe...... At the same time, the troops behind Marin saw that the commander was charging with him, so they naturally rushed forward......
With the bullet of Karn's figure to open the way, coupled with the impact of hundreds of plate guards, the resistance team that the British army had finally gathered near the Chinese army's tent was suddenly dispersed. The scales of victory have completely tipped in Marin's favor. And Henry, who had just picked himself up and was about to fight back. Percy saw the hundreds of muscle sticks rushing towards him, and more enemy soldiers behind the hundreds of muscle sticks, and knew that the tide was turning, and he sat down on the ground in fright......
After the Chinese army tent was captured, the entire British army camp was completely chaotic. Marin's army completely defeated the British army in the large camp and won a complete victory......
