Chapter 104: May 18 (Part II)

The firethrowers lifted the heavy cast iron pellet and pressed it towards the deep black muzzle of the fire bear cannon, and then the iron pellet spun and spun, rolling down rapidly in the chamber, and with a "poof" sound, it pressed on the paper medicine bag full of Khitan snow in the medicine room.

"Both the iron pill and the Khitan snow are loaded." Several of the firethrowers turned and shouted.

"Send a firing signal to the craftsman of the big prani cannon in the back." Nexus raised his banner and waved it at the towers of the camp.

On the opposite side, the emperor's imperial camp was in chaos, and the stubborn Brenus galloped to the front of the rearguard line with the flag and the guard, and shouted loudly, "I am the third glorious person of the empire, and now the soldiers in your line who see the flag of their team begin to move, follow the banner and my steps, go to the right flank of the large army formation, bravely block the possible enemy, and establish great feats, everyone." ”

So Atretis saw that the flag in his team was waving, and the soldiers of the same team made a low voice of complaint and uneasiness, Atretis turned around with everyone, stuck the tail hammer of the spear into the ground under his feet, tied the shield he had originally held on the side of the spearhead, and then picked it up and carried it on his shoulder, "The three saints guide us!" Then the flag officer shouted the slogan with everyone, and Atretis saw himself and the column, and began to march in the direction pointed by His Highness Brenus.

"I thought that if we were victorious we would be able to enjoy the enemy's tents and dinners, and if we were withdrawn we would be able to return and enjoy ourselves—but though night had begun to fall, and my comrades and I had received a temporary new order to fill the vacancy on the right flank, it was not clear what kind of order I would receive at once. I can only secretly pray to the Almighty Lord to bless my luck. ”

As soon as Artletis's thinking ended, after Gawain's carriage, the four large plani cannons began to rotate rapidly with the same command, and the craftsman next to him saw the weight box full of stones at the front end crashing down with a loud bang, pulling the long swing arm and looking at the night sky rising and soaring, the rope at the end of the swing arm pulled the burning fire, and swept out along the oiled chute of the base of the big plani cannon, and then it was thrown out of a semicircle, tumbling and catapulting to the high sky - all the soldiers between the two barricades, You can see that the four fire trees that can light up half of the dark sky, swept through all the battlefields, and also flew over the imperial camp through the eyes of the emperor, nobles, and guards, and finally smashed out terrifying light and fire in the emperor's chariot base!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Several shield-bearing guards began to steady Alexios' somewhat frightened mount.

"Don't worry about me, go and bring people and vehicles to transport the Khitan snow in the base from the concentrated tents and earthen pits - to the safety of the camp, it seems that I have really been tricked and deceived." The Emperor constantly sent heralds to instruct this matter of urgency.

It seems that I am really going to end up here in Philo Mellon...... The entire camp was in chaos, and both Raymond and Cetz began to search for their followers, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

"Fire Bear Cannon, shoot!" When the firethrower saw the "signal" from the Great Plani cannon, he raised the long pole wrapped around the burning rope, and in turn burned the lead drawn from the fire bear powder room, and the sparks sprayed rapidly, and everyone covered their ears and hurriedly hid to the sides and rear of the gun crater.

At this moment, Gawain on the earthen tower, facing the ochre-red rays of the sun, stretched out his hand and shouted, "The whole army - shelling, rushing!" Remember, it's not the strong who wins, it's the winner who is strong, go for the victory! ”

"Tong-Tong-Tong!" The earthen tower at Gawain's feet rose suddenly, and the Turkic servants and the rest of the garrison felt like they were about to fall. With such a loud noise, the fire bear cannon one after another, the heavy bronze body tube trembled, spitting out large balls of white smoke and red flying fire, even if there was an iron cable fixed, it couldn't help but carry the solid wood wheel trolley under the belly to scurry backwards, until it hit the back of the dirt pit digging slope, it was considered to offset a considerable part of the powerful recoil, and it went back and forth along the slope a few times before squeaking and re-stabilizing.

"O my lord!" Just as the fire of the fire bear cannon was firing ballistics, the team of Artretis, who had been brought by Brenus to fill the right flank, all the soldiers screamed, and all bowed their bodies, and they saw the iron pellets shot from the fire bear cannon, with fireworks, spinning and flying in the air, like a red comet that brought disaster overhead.

"If it's fast, it's not as fast as lightning, and we can easily see how it passes over the helmet, as if we can reach out and grab it."

Then, Atretis felt a blazing wind rush behind his back, and in the midst of a howl of ghosts and wolves, he and the soldiers around him all instinctively threw themselves to the ground: several iron pellets fired by the fire bear cannon smashed down at the barrier behind them, and several wagons were immediately shattered, and the broken compartments, frames, and antlers flew up layer by layer.

Then Artretis began to flee in such a daze, that from the moment the bombardment began, all the sense of honor and responsibility ceased to exist as if it had been struck by the barricade, and he turned around with many of the soldiers, threw down his spears and shields, and could not hear what the officers were shouting in the darkness and frenzy, but ran back frantically, and turned into the barricade and shivered with his head in his hands, "It was completely dark, and the only light was brought by the enemy's weapons called artillery, and with it came the wind and destruction, It was so loud and deadly that I wanted to dig a pit and bury myself in it, if I had the tools. ”

After the first round of firing silence, almost all of Brenus's troops were scattered, and then the emperor's rearguard line and left flank were also defeated in horror, and finally even the emperor's imperial camp hurriedly retreated behind the fortress - in fact, the cannonballs of the fire bear cannon killed only a few imperial soldiers, but their courage was all frightened, coupled with the betrayal of Tetisius, the emperor who rushed back in despair felt that "my world and the throne are about to sink and break." ”

But the emperor still wept, why did he lose so badly?

Before I set out, I did my best to the style and training of all the teams!

In the long barricade, there were soldiers lying everywhere, and the whole situation was completely out of control, some had begun to flee in the direction of Afyon, some were in a daze and did not listen to any orders, and some hid in the corner where they thought they were safe, shivering, and it took at least two days to restore order - that is, the 20,000 people who had been left in the barricade by the emperor and served as a reserve army could not exert any combat effectiveness at all.

"What about my son-in-law, Peni Passer Bastos of the Empire!"

"What about Raymond, Earl of Laudisia?"

"What about the kinship General Cezes that I promoted?"

In the darkness of the night, the emperor, who was surrounded by the guards, issued a series of troubled questions. (To be continued.) )
