Chapter 5 The Great War Is Imminent
Eugen was still standing in front of everyone, his sword pointed straight at him, his eyes level, his body motionless.
The heavy cavalry was getting closer and closer, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, and one hundred meters, and they could already faintly see a little light from the tip of the knight's spear, which seemed to be able to pierce people's hearts through their eyes.
Eugen was still motionless, the surprise of the soldiers had climbed to a certain peak at this moment, this Lord Eugen was too brave and fearless, did he want to stand in front of the front line and command the battle?
Field Marshal Rausch Tyrande also saw Eugen in front of the front, such an obvious provocation stimulated the nerves of Marshal Rausteland in an instant, and when he had an absolute advantage, he was actually provoked, this is simply a sheep provoking an angry lion.
The marshal, whose eyes were red, immediately raised his horse's head, and the whole person turned to the right and rushed towards Eugen, and the spear was stretched out to Eugen, and the marshal could even imagine the wonderful touch when he rode his spear to smash Eugen's body.
The heavy cavalry troops also followed the marshal to the right, and since it was a sharp arrow formation, it was natural to follow the arrows.
Eugen's body did not move, but the horse under his crotch began to slowly retreat, and after a few steps, he just retreated into the line and returned to a relatively safe position.
This was simply the greatest contempt for the enemy, and the soldiers were once again stimulated, and the image of Eugen's strategizing and composure remained in their minds, and their morale was finally raised to the highest state.
However, if any of them looked back, they would understand that Eugen did not stand still in front of the line in order to mock the enemy, as they thought, but because when he looked back and saw the heavy cavalry, his courage disappeared in an instant, and the whole person was so nervous that he could not even speak, let alone move his body.
The last words he had just said to the soldiers were: Kill them all. As a result, he would turn his head to look at the three words that made him unable to say the last three words at all, and only said the first word: kill.
Fortunately, it didn't affect the understanding, and the soldiers were just right. If what he wanted to say was to kill them, it would have been a really embarrassing scene.
Fortunately, the war horse under Eugen's crotch was the first to notice Eugen's state, and brought him back on his own initiative, if he was replaced by a stupid horse and stood still, maybe Eugen would really die under the impact of the opponent's heavy cavalry, becoming a joke.
The second person to notice Eugen's state was Rambo, who hurriedly stepped forward and supported Eugen's body in two steps, and then quickly took over the command of the army.
"Musketeers, get ready to shoot." At the sound of the order, the musketeers raised their muskets in unison and began to aim, and in order to shoot at the heavy cavalry sitting on their horses, they all stood up straight and tried to make their muzzles on the same plane as the cavalry.
"Archer, get ready to shoot." The archer places the arrow on top of the bow and raises his hand to pull the bowstring into a semicircle. Then start adjusting the angle and aim at it.
"Pikemen, find a point of support and prepare for the charge." The strength of the heavy cavalry is its powerful impact, and sometimes with the help of the impact of high speed, they can even directly knock over several layers of defense and break into the formation of the infantry.
Therefore, the pikemen found a fulcrum on the guardrail in front of them, and inserted the tail of the spear into the ground under their feet, tense their muscles, and pressed all the strength of their bodies on the spear.
The speed of the heavy cavalry has been increased to the extreme, and the power has been accumulated to the peak. Eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters, the cold light on the tip of the spear was clearly reflected in the eyes of the pikemen, as if it could pierce their hearts along the line of sight.
Finally, fifty meters.
"Archer, shoot!"
Whoosh, as soon as Rambo's voice came out, a sharp wind whistle sounded in the air, which was the sound of arrows cutting through the sky.
A shower of arrows fell head-on into the cavalry, and the arrows sought out their knights on their horses like poisonous snakes.
The knight had already raised the round shield tied to his left hand to block it, but at this distance, the arrow was extremely penetrating, and after piercing the round shield, it still had enough power to shoot into the knight's arm.
A sharply angled arrow passed through the side, right into the neck of a knight, and then pierced through the other side. A bright red foam of blood gushed out of the knight's mouth, and then he rolled over from his horse and fell to the ground, never to get up again.
Because of the relatively large size of the war horse, it is easier to become the object of care, and several arrows are submerged into the body of a war horse, and the horse actually runs forward two steps before falling to the ground.
The knight on the horse smashed his head into the dirt, and could not get up for a long time, and the soft soil was also smashed out of a large hole.
In the blink of an eye, the heavy cavalry unit rushed to a distance of thirty meters.
"Musketeers, shoot!" Rambo immediately ordered, and a violent popping sound rang out, and a pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air.
"Reload, shoot!" The musketeers were equipped with specialized loaders, who alternately reloaded and fired back and forth to form a dense rain of bullets.
The gunpowder burned violently in the chamber of the gun, and suddenly exploded with a huge impact, propelling the iron projectile to a speed of nearly 100 meters per second, and then flying forward.
The projectile struck the round shield in front of the cavalry, instantly bursting into a fist-sized hole, and then tore through the cavalryman's armor, burrowing a bright red and steaming hole.
"Ah....... Yes! No matter how good these cavalrymen were, they couldn't help but burst out with a terrible cry when they experienced such pain.
Bang bang. "Reload, shoot! Archers, shoot! ”
The frequency of musket fire was maximized according to Rambo's command, and the archers fired arrows again, and another rain of arrows rose and fell.
One by one, the heavy cavalry fell to the ground, and a gap suddenly appeared in the front line, like a sandwich being bitten off.
Blood stained the surrounding air and the ground beneath his feet, splashed on the knight's armor, stained the horse's body, and added a fishy sweet taste to the air in his mouth.
However, until this moment, the tragic picture of war has only just revealed the tip of its iceberg.
Such a scene did not deter the French heavy cavalry, but made them charge even harder.
Finally, the first knight rushed to the front of the guardrail, and the spear in his hand stabbed straight out like a poisonous snake, and the horse carried the knight straight to the guardrail, and the spear that poked out of the guardrail was inserted into the chest, and a terrifying hole was drilled in the horse's body.
