At the same time, Randy also redeems a command general who specializes in muskets!

It's just that for some unknown reason, it was not a middle-aged uncle in heavy armor who pursued chivalry and patriotism, but a young woman with curly blond hair in a Renaissance musketeer suit, a long tube and a flintlock pistol.

Asami Basami !!

Asami Ba: Excellent General, Born in Military Academy, Natural General, Four-Star Domination, Musket Talent, Musket Unit Domination III., Musket Commander III., Artillery Unit Domination III., Artillery Commander, Living Artillery Unit Domination III.,

This girl who seems to be just very beautiful, should be the best at the world, the person who understands gunpowder gun weapons combat the most, after all, this is just a weapon that has just been born, in the history of the original world, modern firearms and artillery have gone through a process of hundreds of years from birth to perfection, tactically from the auxiliary weapons of the Spanish phalanx, to the dense firepower of the line era, three-stage shooting, and then to the free fire of the Napoleonic era, until the skirmish attack of modern times, the musket itself has also experienced early hand cannons, Large arquebuses, lightweight arquebuses, flintlock pistols, breech reloading, rifled bursts, and a series of improvements.

Randy was very relieved that with Asami, the Gunpowder Armed Forces didn't need to explore too much, and they could automatically arrange the most suitable combat methods, if this wasn't the case, these early gunpowder weapons might really just be used as decorations.

Randy didn't rush to communicate with Asami, because the battle with the Cuman Centaur coalition was too important to allow for the slightest mistake, so the musket troops that were still in the experimental stage should not appear on this kind of battlefield, but in a big battle of hundreds of thousands of people like this, the musket troops could not help for the time being, but it seemed that the musket troops could still participate in the battle against Príncia's 5,000 centaurs.

The Battle of the Nameless Hills was the first official appearance of the Norman firearms unit.

The reason for this battle is that after entering the Norman Empire, the Princeian army was continuously harassed by Norman soldiers, and the second hussar corps led by General Saito was reduced to zero, with a small number of professional hussars leading the light cavalry temporarily recruited from the nobility of Eastern Europe, day and night, all the time wanted to attack Principia's army, which made the centaur warriors annoyed, demoralized, and wanted to pursue, but because the terrain of the other party was familiar with the terrain and the speed of the horses was amazing, some soldiers would be left behind at the necessary moment, As a result, it has not been able to be resolved, and even sometimes the centaur soldiers will fall into the ambush trap carefully prepared by the Normans, and suffer heavy losses.

By the time it was about 200 kilometers away from Krakow, the centaur army had lost nearly 700 soldiers and thousands of wounded centaurs, which greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of this army and made these brave centaur warriors lose most of their courage to fight.

Seeing that this exhausted army has reached a critical point, Joan of Arc feels that if this attack continues, the other party may flee directly because of discouragement, which is not what she wants to see, Joan of Arc, who has returned to the army, urgently needs a hearty victory to prove her ability, although her strategy was successfully implemented before, but it was General Saito who was specifically commanded on the front line, so the nobles in the army inevitably had some gossip, feeling that today's victory was brought by this irascible old general, Not the sick commander.

So in this battle, Joan of Arc decided to go out in person......

When Printhia and most of the centaur troops were frantically harassed and couldn't help but get angry, a hussar hundred-man team led them to this hilly terrain that had been prepared for a long time, just like the previous pursuits, the hussars quickly disappeared from the sight of the centaurs by relying on the familiar terrain, unlike before, these hussars led the centaurs into the trap carefully designed by Joan of Arc.

With the sound of a horn, a large number of Norman soldiers appeared in the woods of the hills and woods of the centaur tribe, they were armed with hunting crossbows, compound bows, javelins, and even wooden blocks and stones, these weapons fell like raindrops, making the centaurs extremely confused, and at the same time, some soldiers used trees, stones, haystacks, and sealed several lowland passes that allowed the centaurs to retreat calmly, and a shock rocket fell from the sky, igniting those haystacks, so that the centaurs were trapped and died inside.

Under such alarm, the centaurs reacted quickly, and they were powerless to resist.

Printhia asked the centaur soldiers to raise their shields to protect their heads, and some drew their bows and arrows to attack the Norman soldiers on the hills, but such a counterattack seemed futile, and the Norman losses were minimal.

"Surrender! The Norman Empire will treat you equally according to who you are. Joan of Arc, who was in a wheelchair and dressed in a white light gauze nun's dress, shouted in the hope of persuading the centaurs to surrender.

"Never!"

Although she knew that she had fallen into the trap of the other party and was in danger, Printhia still believed that she had a chance to fight her way out, and after looking around, the Centaur Lord found a place where the enemy defenses were weak, and although the soldiers there were heavily armoured, they were not impregnable under the attack of the centaurs.

"Soldiers, let's break through!" Printhia gave an order, pointing to the gap, and then the centaur lancers who had already finished the formation rushed there, although the hills with some vegetation slowed down their speed, but Printhia believed that this group of elite centaur lancers could still complete the task, but for some reason, this group of soldiers suddenly raised the black iron rod in their hands......

When the centaur warriors were still about 50 meters away from the Norman soldiers, a crisp, loud and sweet word "fire" shouted from the mouth of the musket captain Basumi, and then the Norman soldiers with rudimentary firearms pulled the trigger, accompanied by a loud sound and pungent smoke, large pieces of iron sand and iron filings whistled like iron sieves, and shot at the centaur lancers.

In the grassland, steel is an extremely scarce resource, even the extremely powerful force of the Oirat centaur tribe only made up two thousand pairs of heavy scale armor, and this group of centaur lancers here, because Printhia is carrying out harassment and raid missions, speed is the first key, except for some only equipped with some light leather armor, more centaurs are naked upper body, without the slightest cover.

This piece of iron sand flew over, and there was a wail on the spot, and the centaurs in the front row were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, and the small black holes that were beaten by the iron sand were like a hornet's nest, which made people tremble.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

The centaur soldiers on the opposite side were shocked, this smoke of gunpowder and invisible weapons were more like legendary magic than means on the battlefield, even if the centaur soldiers were strong-minded, they felt extremely frightened.

"What the hell is going on?" The Centaur Lancers' charging posture was blocked, but the Norman musketeers on the opposite side did not stop attacking, it was too troublesome to reload ammunition, the musketeers directly dropped the musketeers in their hands, took the musketeers of their companions behind him, and fired again, only a few seconds later, another piece of iron sand like a net hit over, and the centaurs fell on the spot.

This time, if you observe carefully, you will find that the centaurs are much less than the previous one because of the distance, but don't expect these ordinary soldiers to be able to analyze these at this time, in fact, the vast majority of centaurs have been frightened by this scene, although in the Battle of Moscow the Norman Empire also used iron artillery, but because of the lack of information, these five thousand centaurs saw gunpowder weapons for the first time, and they were more powerful than iron artillery, the primitive bomb, An early firearm that is more deterrent.

"Go on, fire!"

Asami continued to order, and the musketeer once again took the loaded musket from the soldier behind him, aimed at the other and pulled the trigger.

There was no need to aim, and the attack was very ineffective, hitting only a few centaurs slightly ahead, and it was the last time the musketeers attacked.

200 musketeers were armed with 300 early guns, one hundred for shooting and one hundred for reloading.

At this moment, 300 guns have been fired, and if you want to reload the ammunition again, it will take at least tens of seconds, and tens of seconds are enough time for the centaurs to charge back and forth several times.

Not far away on a hill......

General Joan of Arc frowned, it was the first time she had deployed this brand new, rather powerful unit.

He also had no experience, so he ordered the soldiers to guard a place alone, and after seeing the power of these firecrackers, Joan of Arc also sensed that something was wrong.

Although these firecrackers are indeed shocking, and the scene is even greater than imagined, the power is not flattering.

"Thanks to the ambush behind them, even if the other side defeats this group of musketeers, they will not be able to escape, they will just fall from one trap to another."

The ammunition had been exhausted, and the centaur soldiers still had no intention of retreating, Captain Asami did not laugh angrily, raised his hand to withdraw her command knife, removed the flintlock pistol behind his back, and aimed at a centaur wearing light leather armor and decorated with a hat and the appearance of a leader on the opposite side and pulled the trigger.

The rifled flintlock pistol, which was very different in accuracy from the early firearms, shot directly into the iron projectile, piercing the centaur's head, only to hear a bang, the centaur didn't even snort, and his head shattered like a watermelon falling from dozens of floors!

"Run! They used sorcery, and the leader shot them to death. With a frightened cry, more than 400 centaur lancers suddenly scattered, no matter what Printhia said, they refused to charge there, and the already demoralized centaur soldiers suffered from this, and they had no intention of resisting, and many people looked at the sparse musketeers in panic and said: "No wonder there are few people there, all there are Norman great shamans!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, disturb the morale of the army." Printhia swung her scimitar in a fit of rage, cutting off the head of the babbling centaur, and then looked at the Norman musketeers with reluctance, and she saw what they had just done.

The opponent's lethality is actually not strong, but the means are novel enough to effectively cause panic among people, in fact, it is still the weakest point of the Norman army's defense, if the remaining centaur cavalry can continue to charge forward, I am afraid that it has broken through at this time.

Things have come to such a point that Printhia can only threaten and lure, insisting that "if you are shot to death by those shamans, your soul will be sucked away, and you will not be able to go to heaven, and you will only go to hell to suffer if you die." ”

But the centaurs didn't listen to Printhia at all, so Printhia had no choice but to choose another place to order the centaurs to break through.

The centaurs probed left and right, and found that the soldiers on a hillside could only use bows, crossbows, javelins, wood and stones, and immediately burst into good spirits and rushed towards the hillside.

But things were not as simple as these centaurs imagined, the Norman soldiers on the hill suddenly changed their tactics, took out the more powerful heavenly flame canisters and iron cannons, and threw them at the centaur cluster, and suddenly the violent explosion and boiling flames spread wildly among the centaur soldiers......

"Attack! Soldiers! Offensive! That centaur lord must be caught alive! ”

"Whoever can catch her, His Majesty the Emperor will be rewarded!"

Seeing that the centaur soldiers were in chaos again, Joan of Arc immediately seized the opportunity and ordered the Norman army to launch a general attack, and the horn suddenly sounded on the hill, and nearly 50,000 troops rushed towards the chaotic centaur army from all directions, and even the Norman soldiers in front of the centaurs, those savage warriors from the Rus' race, did not wait for the flames to be extinguished, and launched a charge against the centaurs in the fire.

The centaurs, who were already in a state of confusion, were attacked by even more terrifying attacks from the Normans.

Rus' soldiers armed with long-handled tomahawks and two-handed tomahawks, Poles with scimitar shields, javelinmen from Prussia, two-handed swordsmen from Germanic peoples, not to mention trained professional Viking warriors armed with heavy chain mail.

The centaur warriors were quickly divided and surrounded by these brave human warriors, and little by little, some soldiers chose to be captured alive because they were worried about the ransom, but many more soldiers chose to kill in order to show off their martial prowess and military exploits.

But the centaurs were only a few thousand, and there was simply not enough for these temporary distributions, so there was such a scene on the battlefield.

Centaur warriors huddled shoulder to shoulder, braving the arrows and javelins that landed above their heads from the sky, resisting desperately, but occasionally a group of human warriors would cut a gap.

In order to compete for glory, the overly agitated Norman soldiers would often use all kinds of weapons to dismantle the hateful centaurs, plunder their ornaments, raise their heads, torsos, hooves, bloody internal organs and other organs, and roar excitedly, and the centaurs who fell into the hands of human soldiers often died horribly and their bodies were mutilated.

It's just that if this kind of encounter is against some farming peoples, the temporarily recruited peasant soldiers can naturally have a good deterrent effect, but now the Norman soldiers are facing centaurs from the grassland.

Seeing their own kind being dismembered, the centaurs were filled with righteous indignation, and all of them gave up their defenses without their lives, and launched a frantic attack on the Norman soldiers.

"Breakout!"

Seeing that the situation changed, Printhia's eyes lit up, and she took the lead with a two-handed sword, rushing towards a weakly defended place, and the centaur soldiers who followed her also charged, and forced her body to crash out of a blood-stained road, and the centaur warrior behind Printhia shouted:

"The county lord is leaving, I'll come to the palace." Forcefully block the Norman soldiers who are dozens or hundreds of times more than them.
