The flames were everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Night battles have always been an epic test of the organization, and the Centaur general Crosus's private attack on Port Louis was not smooth from the start.
First of all, when he seized power, he encountered the joint resistance of senior officers, but he killed many people by mistake, and forcibly ordered the troops to attack in the resentful eyes of the other party, and because of the darkness, he didn't know if everyone had arrived at the position.
He's had enough of George's group of cynicisms about him, isn't it nice now? The warriors with the immortal sky wantonly slaughtered the cowardly and incompetent scumbags of the alliance, on the roads, on the rooftops, and somewhere, bullets flew everywhere, devouring the lives of the soldiers every second.
There aren't many enemies that infiltrate, and there are many unlucky ones who mislead their targets and are killed by the sentinels first, and as for the more use of the looted muskets, the stupid ones who are not excited in every sense of the word, die too miserably.
Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin, as the first officer to react, first killed several stupid centaurs who burned their heads in the killing, burning and looting, and gathered a group of soldiers to attack directly with cannons in tow.
The roar of cannons exacerbated the chaos in Port Louis, and Lorraine, who was running with the high-ranking officials, hid in a temporarily safe house and fired a barrage of missiles outside, "I said adults, hurry up and find a way, I don't have infinite spells to defend against the enemy." ”
"Shut up and keep that direction for me!" Princess Josephine shouted impatiently, and with a sword in her hand, she slashed the rushing centaur cavalry in two.
From time to time, the guards next to her threw the loaded muskets to the princess, and then each formed a formation to resist the rushing enemy army, efficient organization and good training attracted more and more enemies and allies, but the stronger Josephine was the real princess of the battlefield at this time.
The musket barely had to be aimed, the sword in his hand was soaked in the blood of the enemy, whether it was the strong heavy centaur cavalry or the Norman infantry with tacit understanding, none of them was the enemy of the princess of the battlefield.
Lorraine sighed, at this time, it is obviously safest to find a place where no one is hiding, but this princess is so attractive. Took out the inventory in his hand, and threw it to a crowded place with a slight aim, only to hear the explosion of 'boom', and a large cloud of poisonous gas burst out, making those unlucky people cry bitterly, I really can't stand the stench, and if you're unlucky, you'll be infected by bacteria, but now you can't see it.
"I didn't expect your thing to work well, give me some."
He handed over more than a dozen metal balls, "Lord Philip, aren't you going to kill them in battle?" ”
"Ha, I'm a gentleman of the Kingdom of Riberia, how can I kill him with a sword?"
Perhaps uncomfortable with Lorraine's disdainful eyes, the major general had no choice but to continue: "I only know how to swing a sword and shoot, this kind of battlefield sword and my practice sword are fundamentally different things, if an enemy really fights me, maybe my corpse will be cold." ”
After saying that, the major general threw out a metal ball, and a poisonous mist exploded in mid-air, so that the group of scuffles below had to flee in all directions, and Lorraine took the opportunity to throw a wind spell to prevent the stinky cloud from drifting to his side.
For a while, relying on Princess Josephine, a great master, the defenders temporarily suppressed the attack of the Norman soldiers, but unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and only about three minutes later, a figure that looked exceptionally tall appeared from a hundred meters away.
Armed with a heavy long battle axe, Crosas already knew from the soldiers that in front of him was the royal princess of the empire, even if it was an enemy, he had to admit that the opponent's martial arts were very strong, but this was the battlefield, and no matter how strong her martial arts were, she couldn't do it alone against the cavalry charge.
With ten heavy centaur cavalry and hundreds of infantry looted from all over the place, Crossus launched the strongest charge of the night battle, and no one could stop the whizzing centaurs from crushing the princess guards who were in battle.
Lorraine, who threw a rat bogey, naturally didn't dare to use metal balls, and could only use some single spells to name the enemy, the lethality was seriously insufficient, and in his magic terminal, there were not many attack magic, and he would soon be dumbfounded.
The princess in armor did not flee at this time, and Josephine, who dodged the first wave of charge, could not stand the desolate screams of the guards before they died, and rushed madly towards Cros with a sword in hand.
The centaur general can endure it with his physique, but Josephine is just a human, and the continuous attacks have caused her tiger mouth to crack, and it is difficult to continue fighting, and even her physical strength has seriously decreased, and she will soon be unable to support it.
Fortunately, friendly forces will always appear at the most dangerous moments, unfortunately led by Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin and his artillery team from the Rus' ethnic group, seeing that the resistance is getting weaker and weaker and the princess as the main general obviously can't beat the stupid big centaur on the opposite side, the lieutenant colonel dragged the artillery to the front as soon as possible, regardless of how dissatisfied the tired soldiers were, directly loaded the chain bullet and fired it in the shortest time, leaving no spare time for the enemy and friendly troops.
Not caring whether Her Royal Highness the princess would die, Lorraine felt that the shield was blessed and lying on the ground, and immediately heard the terrifying sound of a chain bullet cutting through the air and tearing through the human body.
The hapless Norman army once again failed to dodge Kalinin's chain attack, and finally flew to an unknown place after successfully killing and wounding dozens of people, and Princess Josephine, who took the opportunity to escape, did not say much, stumbling and wanting to escape, how could the embarrassed Crosus let the prey fly at this time.
Took out the musket captured from the enemy, reloaded the ammunition in quantity, Her Royal Highness the princess had not run far, looking at the girl fiercely, Crosas raised the musket and took aim, at this moment neither Lorraine nor Kalinin had time to run over to save Josephine, and the next second she might be hit by a bullet and become the biggest loser in this battle.
The gears collide in rotation.
The sparks that appear with the flint striking are shining.
The well-loaded gunpowder began to burn.
The cold lead bullet heated up and rushed out of the chamber.
Then the barrel exploded violently, the bullet actually shot backwards instead of forward, and the hapless commander of the Heavy Centaur Cavalry Corps, General Crosas of the Norman League, in the battle of Port Louis on the eve of the Chinese New Year's Eve of DR1822, because of the use of captured inferior muskets and impure gunpowder, the barrel exploded, and the bullet hit the face through the brain and died, becoming the second high-ranking officer of the general level to die in the conflict of Fontainebleau.
Because the Norman army, which died unexpectedly, finally collapsed, and they could no longer care about the discipline of the army with heavy casualties, even the roars of the officers and pistols could not stop the soldiers from escaping, and these fed up unlucky people rushed to the town of Fontainebleau, and even the newly rescued Count George had no way to stabilize the situation, so he could only retreat to the rear with the rout.
The Allied forces, which had managed to repel the enemy, were unable to pursue, and collapsed exhausted to rest in the ruined harbor.
Victory and defeat were almost instantaneous, and the surprise was so unexpected, only this time the gods of fate favored the allies.
Except for a certain hungry dragon knight and his mount, seemingly forgotten by everyone and abandoned in the clearing outside the first trench, staring blankly at the sky.
"Is there anyone there? I'm so hungry! ”
