"Fight back! The enemy's offensive is over, and a quick counterattack is launched! ”

Several heralds in the defenders were running back and forth, conveying orders to counterattack.

"Get up, you sons of bitches, attack and drive those Prussian pigs back into their wombs!" The squad leader kicked his soldiers with his feet, and vulgar shouts came out of his mouth.

An infantryman with a shield lowered his shield and stared blankly at the arrows nailed to the entire shield, the arrows were so powerful that some of them had even pierced the shield.

More than a dozen tiny cracks spread along those breaches, and the shield-wielding infantry could see the entire shield tremble with a slight exertion.

Obviously, this shield will not be able to withstand a few attacks.

"Kill!"

The shouts of the Prussian hoplites were heard, and a soldier who was running fast had already rushed to the defensive line, raised his heavy broad-faced axe in his hand, and smashed it into the wooden fence at the front of the line.

With a click, how could the wooden fence, which had been 'ravaged' by the rain of arrows, withstand such a heavy blow, and a huge hole suddenly cracked on it.

The hoplite took another big step forward, reaching out and grabbing the log, trying to make the breach wider.

Bang! A puff of smoke rose and the hoplites fell, their muskets exerting their greatest power at this distance, piercing the thick armor with a single blow.

"Rush! Kill them! ”

In the rear, the hoplites rushed forward one after another, and they began to raise their heavy weapons like big iron bumps, violently destroying the defenders' defensive lines, trying to open up a passable road.

"Counterattack, archer shoot!"

Whoosh!

Arrows fell, but instead of going for the hoplites, they flew to their rear.

On the hillside below, groups of sword-and-shield infantry and pikemen rushed up the hillside like dense locusts.

Among the Prussian infantry, there were more than a dozen large catapults that drove up to the front of the hillside, and one after another round powder barrels were loaded onto the launchers of the catapults.

"Ready! Put! ”

The order was given, and the soldiers who were guarding it immediately lit the fuses on the powder kegs, and then cut the ropes that bound the launchers.

With a roar, the long firing arm bounced up, and the powder keg was thrown into the air and smashed into the Habsburg line.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A loud explosion resounded throughout the battlefield, and flames rose into a thick cloud of black smoke, flying stones and sawdust, and tossing mutilated limbs.

"Kill!"

The Prussian hoplites took the opportunity to storm forward, and some had even broken through the lines and began to fight among the defenders.

The thumping sound was incessant, and the musketeers in the defenders sought out the hoplites, and the muskets fired accurately, digging finger-sized holes in the tin bumps.

"Ready! Put! ”

Boom, boom, boom.

The catapults continued to pour fire on the line until their own sword and shield infantry came closer.

"Fight back!" General Ike roared, "Roll those powder kegs down for me, and let those bitche-bitched Prussian infantry taste the power too!" ”

The order was given, and the defenders on the defensive line also raised the powder kegs that had been prepared in advance, lit them, and rolled down the hillside.

Of course, the Prussian soldiers who rushed up also knew the power of these powder kegs, so they all bypassed the two sides to dodge, but the powder kegs on the defensive line continued to roll down, almost blocking the way forward, and there was no way to avoid it on the hillside.

Rumble! Rumble!

The flames drifted and a loud noise rang out, but this time it was the Prussian infantry who were attacked, and one by one the powder kegs exploded, forming flames that were almost connected to each other, leaving no gap.

The Prussian soldiers, who had just rushed halfway through, either hurriedly turned back or crawled to the ground to resign themselves to fate, and such a dense gunpowder attack was simply a disaster for the infantry.

"Ahh Help me! Please, kill me! ”

A soldier whose legs had been blown off screamed hoarsely, his whole body was charred and black, and his identity was almost unrecognizable from his appearance, but his voice was louder than ever, and waves of terrible cries hit the hearts of every Prussian soldier like a tidal wave.

"Rush me, rush me!" When Kyiros saw the infantry retreating, he immediately shouted angrily! The generals in the rear immediately reorganized the soldiers and relaunched the assault.

On the defensive line, the Habsburg defenders rolled down the powder kegs one after another, and for three minutes, the front of the defensive line was completely turned into a field of flames.

God knows how many powder kegs the defenders had prepared first, but in three minutes they had already put all their firepower on the battlefield.

The Prussian infantry charge was contained, and the defenders on the line immediately began to clear the rushing hoplites, as well as a small number of shield-wielding infantry and pikemen who were rushing quickly.

The sound of swords clashing is endless, and the sharp blades cut through armor, clothing, and then flesh, blood vessels, and bones!

Blood spilled all over the line, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, and even forgot their own exhaustion, desperately trying to plunge their blades into the enemy's chest.

A hoplite squad leader raised his battle axe and smashed it down, slicing one of the defending archers in two from top to bottom, before a pop sounded almost close to his ear, and the heavily armored squad leader shook his body and fell to the ground.

On the back of his head, there was a steaming bloody mouth, and the powerful iron projectile almost tore his entire Heavenly Spirit Cover out.

In three minutes, 5,000 hoplites were cleared, and the Habsburg defenders paid almost the same price.

The powder keg ran out, and the Prussian infantry below rushed up frantically again, the defense line had already been destroyed, and there was no food left to stop the charge of these soldiers.

Bows and arrows fell in thin numbers, knocking out some of the charging infantry, and the Habsburg archers had suffered heavy casualties in the previous encounter, and there was no way to carry out large-scale long-range suppression.

Finally, the Prussian infantry, like a tidal wave, flooded the hillside and stormed the defensive line.

General Ike had gathered all the infantry at his disposal, leaving only a handful of sentries on the western line.

He hadn't forgotten that there was also a Saxon legion watching over him, and the role of these sentries was to spy on the cavalry of the Saxon legion.
