Chapter 100: Shifting the Sun

So several rows of Immortal Army soldiers carried firecrackers and hooked halberds, reorganized their formation, and continued to walk in front of the outer palace guards and imperial infantry behind, shouting and advancing towards the ring trench and wooden fence directly in front of the "convex" fortress.

At this moment, long arrows roared out of the smoke, and the neck of the first immortal army was immediately pierced, and his eyes burst out, and he fell to the ground in two circles in the same place. Another man was hit by an arrow in the chest and stuck his halberd in the ground in an attempt to support himself, but the second and third slammed into his head and side of his waist one after another, and blood splattered out, and he curled up and died with the halberd.

More and more terrifying arrows flew out, causing severe damage to the body and morale of the Immortal Army, and they were horrified to see that the strength and penetration of this long arrow was so great that it was almost equivalent to a lightweight javelin. All of them were shot by the Oghuz Volunteers who squatted behind the walls of the barricades and earthen baskets, and they were extremely fierce and good at riding and archery - behind the entire line of the barricades, the Oghuz Volunteers (who abandoned their horses) and the border army and the civilian army were all stationed here, which was all the defending force that Gawain relied on, and the Oghuz soldiers were responsible for using bows and arrows to strike accurately at the emperor's attacking team after the Khitan fire volley, and they used a reserve of bamboo arrows, which were used after the Guardian Army defeated the Mujahideen on the plateau, It was introduced into the military system of Tarsus.

In front of the bamboo arrows that flew one after another, General Selilarus, who continued to advance at the risk of danger, clearly saw that on the wagons and earthen baskets of the carriage, those Gawain firethrowers holding long iron guns took off the gun pipe and wooden tray (one) from the fork frame after shooting a round just now, directly took out the medicine cartridge on the shoulder strap, and poured the Khitan snow into it, and then an assistant next to him was responsible for reloading the projectile and tamping it with a cane, and the other helped to turn the extinguished fire rope upside down and clamp the burning other head between the dog's head hooks of the long gun. In a team of three, the speed efficiency is much faster than that of a firebolt.

And as the Immortals advanced to a distance of one hundred and twenty feet from the "convex" barricade, the platoon of long guns and the rest of the fire arrows stretched out again and took aim at Selilarus and his soldiers again.

Selilarous was stunned.

Brave and smart, he quickly thought of such a cruel answer:

Miss Plani, whom the emperor valued very much, deceived the entire empire when she came to the island of Respos to hand over the recipe......

And it's cleverly deceived.

Agnes gave the recipe and the blueprint, and the emperor asked the craftsmen to create a fire weapon that could shoot fire arrows of equal power, as well as create fire arrows in groups.

But when Alexios imitated Gawain to form the "New Immortal Army" and let them use firearms to really fight today, it was Celilarusus who understood Agnes. Prani, no, is the Gawain behind the scenes.

The formula is right, the structure of the fire bolt is also right, the shooting principle and regulation are also right, everything is right - but there is one biggest misunderstanding, this formula Khitan snow is not high in saltpeter, and the effective range of fire arrows is only 60 feet to 80 feet!

And this Plani Xiaoni has long left the more powerful formula in Tarsus, and now Gawain's long and fire arrows can shoot 120 to 150 feet, as evidenced by the fact that the range is longer, more powerful, and the fire is faster!

In firearms shooting, the difference of tens of feet is the difference between life and death, victory and defeat.

It is not only time that the empire has lost, but also the sophistication of its weapons.

With a flash of sparks, Celilarus saw the dog's head hook with a long gun held by the Gawain soldier opposite, which was turned down by the trap with the fire rope and ignited the fire door. Then lightning flashed before his eyes, thunder roared, and he was thrust to the ground with great force, and then there was a piercing pain, and several officers lifted him up from the back, and the emperor's most loyal young general, Selilarus, found that his legs were unconscious, and his belly under his armor seemed to be stirred by a dagger.

Several lead pellets shot from the long guns, striking the Commander's legs and abdomen.

At this time, Selilalius could only lie on the stretcher with hatred and was dragged down.

On the stretcher, he saw all the guards of the outer palace on the left flank, who had already launched a brave charge against Gawain's barricade, and there were leather leggings staggering everywhere, but his immortal army was destined to play no role: the shooter was killed and wounded, the formation could not be put in order, and now even he, the commander, was wounded in front of the battle......

"Hateful, hateful!" Selilaruss secretly kept bobbing his head.

After noon, after suffering a salvo of damage, the indomitable Emperor's army broke out a fierce offensive and defensive battle with the defenders of Gawain's fortress on all fronts. Arrows and pikes flew through the air, smoke continued to blow from the firebolts, and white-knuckle battles began on the wheels and wheels, with iron forks, battle axes, scimitars, and spears stabbing and slashing at each other. After the melee battle, only a third of the pyropers remained behind the board to shoot, and the rest began to fight hand-to-hand with hand-to-hand combat, not to mention the border people and the Oghuz volunteers.

Gawain had previously made a wish to the Volunteers: if the battle is won, the regions of Philomelon and Afyon will give you more fiefdoms, which will have the same status as the "shadow land" of the Gospel cavalry.

Even the personnel of the Sixth Division calculated the mining and field properties into account books in advance, so that all the Oghuz soldiers who came to join the army knew about it.

Therefore, in the bloody battle of that day, there was a quarry that changed four owners in one day.

After the Oghuz volunteers, the border people held spears, axes and guns to resist the reluctance, and once the emperor's soldiers climbed in, they would be ruthlessly stabbed and cut into meat sauce.

The sun slowly shifted, and the two sides took turns to fight bloody battles, advance and retreat, and sometimes the emperor's soldiers had already stood by the tower and raised the military flag, but in an instant they were shot down and slashed by the additional soldiers of the Guardian Army, and the military flag was thrown into the trench outside the barricade.

And the Emperor and Gao Wen, although they are in different positions, are watching quietly.

Because in such a battlefield situation, there are only two things that the Supreme Commander can do: stand with his own banner, look at the soldiers, and be watched by the soldiers.

Of course, it is the reserves that ultimately decide the winner.

What the lookout on Posta had just wanted to report to the Emperor was that in the Gawain barracks, a large number of enemy soldiers had magically poured out of the camp of Geemagis, and they had begun to support the barricade in the fierce battle.

Where were all these enemy soldiers hiding?

The emperor seemed to be in front of the imperial camp, thinking hard about such a question, and everyone saw that his face was getting more and more ugly - the commander of the immortal army was wounded, and the large army formation formed with all his strength was fired by Gawain's hidden firepower in a volley, and the outer palace guards and the Plonian cavalry have always been known to be brave and strong, but they could not advance an inch in the bloody battle in front of the fortress, and they could not hold each other.

But the soldiers have already used their lives!

The daylight gradually circled the head and back of the emperor, and the afternoon came in a brutal battle, and Alexios looked at the scorching situation in front of him, and the explosive flames that the fire was constantly throwing on and off (the emperor's army and the Weijiao army threw each other), and the sweat on his cheeks slowly flowed.
