Ni Ming's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, his eyes narrowed, and the fingers holding the hilt of the knife were already tight and white, just a moment of light, and then disappeared without a trace.

In the darkness, torrential rain was pouring down, the wind was howling, and the feeling of being cold to the bones made everyone feel cold. The hundred guards all crouched quietly and silently, not panicking at the sight of the fierce spirits that appeared two hundred paces away.

The hat on Lieutenant Robben's cavalry helmet was completely soaked and hung tightly against the helmet, and his uniform was also drenched and cold. His eyes stared at him without a trace of fluctuation, and the lightning flickered just now, allowing him to see clearly the small black shadow in front of him, but there was no way to distinguish whether it was a stone or a human body.

"Lieutenant, it doesn't seem like things are going well." Beside him, a cavalry lieutenant, Fanny, leaned over to him and whispered. "The shouting of the front positions continued, and the gunfire continued, which is very strange, and it is impossible for our army's muskets to be used in such a bad situation. There is only one possibility, and the other party has this kind of firearm that can be used in a rainstorm. ”

"I know. Ensign Fanny, what did you see? Lieutenant Robben was still staring ahead, for fear of missing a single detail.

"I don't know, it's like a pile of stones, could it be that the enemy has observed that we are going to pass through here and attack them, so they have set up a barrier here?" Second Lieutenant Fanny was a little unsure.

"I think it's supposed to be the other side's blocking force." Lieutenant Robben saw Vanney's inquiring gaze, and Lieutenant Robben nodded his steel helmeted head: "Instinct, I trust my instincts, but in order to be cautious, we must wait until after the next lightning before attacking, because I need to know if my instincts are correct." ”

"Yes lieutenant, follow your orders." Fanny had always been convinced of his young chief's judgment. After giving Lieutenant Robben a standard military salute, he continued to wait quietly.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The neighing sound of the war horse under him was very short and dull under the cover of the heavy rain, Robben patted the horse under him again, he knew that no matter what, after the next lightning, he had to attack, even if he stood still in this storm, the physical consumption would be very huge. He didn't want his horses to fall due to physical exhaustion during the assault, and his cavalry unit would not be able to form an effective assault force.

The neighing in the distance continued, and Lieutenant Robben could already be sure that this pirate force was indeed far from being comparable to any Eastern army they had encountered, and two thousand soldiers were able to fight against three thousand battle-hardened Dutch elites for nearly an hour in such a storm, even if it was a powerful French [***] team, it could only do this.

Therefore, Lieutenant Robben's heart is already full of vigilance and uneasiness, and his cavalry will be the last killer weapon.

At that moment, a thick flash of lightning that illuminated almost the entire land in a reddish-white patch allowed Lieutenant Robben to see ahead. "It's not the stones, it's the enemy, the soldiers, it's time for us to attack." Lieutenant Robben let out a long breath and slowly rode forward, his unsheathed saber was quietly pulled out of the sheath at this moment, and the snowy blade was instantly covered with water droplets, forming a stream on the knife, and when the knife was lifted and pointed to the sky, the beloved horse under Lieutenant Robben seemed to sense the desire in the master's heart, neighed, and began to put down his hooves and speed up and gallop.

In just a few moments, a horizontal group of more than 150 cavalrymen formed a standard shock formation with Lieutenant Robben as the arrow.

"Steady, steady, ......steady" At this time, Ni Ming and the guards had already stood up, the rapid and heavy sound of horses' hooves represented that the other party had begun to charge, there was no need to hide, Ni Ming roared loudly, reminding the soldiers.

The flying heavy hooves trampled on the weedy-soaked, rain-soaked soft earth, like a heavy pile, cut out a hoof prints that exposed the dark black soil, and soon no rain smoothed them out, and the next horse rushed over, splashing the rain again, staggered hoof prints, wild galloping, like black lightning shuttling in the rainy night.

The sabers in their hands were already raised high, facing the wind and rain, and even the raindrops could cut two planes.

"It's coming!" At this time, the reconnaissance soldier shouted loudly, and without his warning, it could be heard from the rumbling hooves that were rapidly approaching, that the other party must have discovered the anomaly here and had begun to charge.

"As long as the other party steps on the thunder, all the lares will be sounded in order from far to near!" Ni Ming's hoarse voice was a little indistinct in the heavy rain and wind, but those minelayers understood his intentions and had already held the hemp rope tightly in Lalei.

"For the king, for the Netherlands! Cavalry Charge!! Another thunderbolt shuttled across the battlefield, and Lieutenant Robben could already clearly see the enemy's figure, the originally raised sword was instantly changed to the front, his roar was mixed with the sound of wild hooves, and the rain was like that arrogant killing intent.

One hundred and fifty knights roared at the same time, and one hundred and fifty sabers overflowing with cold light swept through the enemy in front of them like a bolt of lightning that moved horizontally.

Lieutenant Robben squinted slightly, his head slightly lowered, so that the brim of the cavalry helmet on his head shielded the raindrops so that his eyes could be fixed on the enemy, and his target was the young officer who was standing in the middle of the dense formation of enemies, who was not wearing a helmet, but was surrounded and covered by several enemies.

The slightly curved blade of the saber was wandering with a strange cold glow, as if it were the evil smile of the god of death.

Ni Ming pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes were fearlessly facing the arrow of the Dutch cavalry charging formation, the Dutch cavalry officer with a hideous smile on the corner of his mouth. He raised his arm, breathed deeply, and shone the crosshair on the faint glow of the horseman's chest.

Will the cuirass of a cavalry be penetrated by its own bullets? Or will his head be cut off by the enemy, this point, Ni Ming has no time to think, his ears except for his own breathing and rain, as if he has been cut off from everything, between heaven and earth, only he is left with the Dutch officer who rushed wildly, the knife is like death and teeth.

The flying heavy hooves crushed the weeds growing on the ground brutally and brutally, and the sturdy and tall bodies of the war horses showed their graceful and powerful limbs, carrying their masters on horseback, and rushing straight ahead.

Boom...... Lieutenant Robben seemed to hear a slight noise on the ground, and then, to his left, suddenly there seemed to be a sun leaping out of the ground, and the blazing white light of the fire almost blinded all those who were accustomed to seeing in such a dim, rainy night.

Then, before Lieutenant Robben could even think about it, he felt a wave of air blowing, and the horses under him seemed to have a sense of flying up and deviating the direction of their progress.

Lieutenant Robben tried his best to keep his horse running firmly forward, he didn't know what had happened in that moment, he didn't care, he only knew that the enemy commander in front of him had to fall under his saber.

Then, again, his left wing suddenly lit up with a blazing white light, and out of the corner of his eye, he could even see the arm of one of his robes, holding the sabre, flying towards the sky.

At this time, the earth-shattering, thunderous explosion exploded in his ears.

"For the king!" Lieutenant Robben roared loudly, as if to hide his fear of the unknown weapon with his own rage. The knife in his hand was held tighter, and the nail on his thumb even scraped a trail of blood on the finger of his index finger.

Not far from him, Ensign Fanny's eyes were full of horror, because, just in front of his horse, he suddenly saw the ground trampled on by the heavy hooves of the cavalry in front of him suddenly cracked, and then, as if the ground in front of him suddenly turned into a small volcano, the thick and heavy hooves of the vigorous and windy war horse were as light and brittle as foam.

Immediately afterward, the entire horse's legs were freely split from below, whether it was flesh or blood and bones, as if they had been burst by a huge ball of light. "God, is this a flowering shell fired by the opponent's heavy artillery?" As soon as this thought flashed through Ensign Fanny's mind, he felt a scorching wind blowing in front of him, and then he felt as if he had been thrown into the huge oven, and the clothes on his body seemed to be ignited in an instant, and he felt as if his left leg had touched something slightly, and then, as if his left leg had lost contact with the left pedal, and then, passing through the scorching hell, and before he could even breathe a breath of moist air, his body fell uncontrollably to the left...... At the moment when he lost his balance, he saw his companions in front of him, and the ground where their horses were trampled on the ground seemed to bloom one after another bewitching flowers composed of petals of light and flames of eerie red, like water lilies with fatal temptation in the dreamlike pond in front of Pandora's palace......
