Chapter 320. The catharsis of the madness of musket artillery!!
This is an incomparably terrifying picture, under the rising smoke of gunpowder, a "Knights of Judgment" is like stuck in a huge quagmire, constantly struggling to move forward.
However, in the face of the grenade bombardment like cannonballs, these "Knights of Judgment" had no resistance at all, and their strong bodies, which were strong enough to withstand the lead bullet shot, were as fragile as paper in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, they were drowned by the smoke brought up by the huge roar.
No matter how crazy and fearless these undead warriors are, they are not steel after all, and under the effect of the amazing impact that is enough to penetrate everything, the so-called madness, bravery, and fear of death are just a joke, because they are of no use at all.
And because of the small number of griffins, the grenadier kept throwing for only about a minute.
But this short minute will undoubtedly turn into a huge nightmare for these "Knights of Judgment" that will haunt them for the rest of their lives, if they can dream at all.
However, the number of cannonballs thrown was undoubtedly a little stretched compared to the thousands of "Knights of Judgment" pouring in from all sides.
Hundreds of grenades were thrown, and only about half of the bodies of these "Judgment Knights" were destroyed, and the remaining half of the "Judgment Knights" were actually more or less traumatized.
If it is an ordinary army, after suffering such heavy casualties, the rout is naturally inevitable, but the current army is different, they are not normal human beings, they are emotionless devils, before the head is cut off, or the body is completely destroyed, even if the body has become bloody and blurred under the roar of the grenade, their actions are the same as before, continue to face expressionless and crazy ramming.
At the same moment as the artillery fire rang out, a team of hundreds of people rushed from Chopin's side.
These soldiers wore bearskin hats on their heads, dark blue gowns, breeches and black leggings, and the dress of more than 100 soldiers was quite different from those soldiers under Chopin, and they were Chopin's ace troops - the Old Guard!
The cold muzzle of the gun was pointed at the front, for the final victory, for the glory in the heart, the old guard, which was once the most glorious in the French Empire, once again set out to fight!
This is the real battlefield, cruel and bloody, the losers, will lose everything, and what they want is the final victory, and at the moment, the duty of these old guards is to stop the existence of these devils at all costs.
"Gun on the shoulder, aim..."
The command knife in the hand of the leader had already been raised high, looking at the terrifying and suffocating picture in front of him, his expression revealed only unimaginable perseverance, and then let out an angry roar: "For the French Empire, fire!" ”
"Bang bang-"
Driven by the expanding force of the gunpowder explosion, the lead bullets fired out instantly turned into a deadly black tide, and a muffled thunderous sound appeared instantly, and the crystal flickering sky seemed to be torn apart at this moment, but the sharp roar was still transmitting in all directions.
The distance between the two sides at this time is less than fifty meters, and at such a close distance, the power of the bullet will be vented to the greatest extent.
And these old guards were loaded not with ordinary lead bullets, but with Miner.
These "Knights of Judgment" have just proved one point with practical actions, that is, the shooting of ordinary lead bullets is not useless for them, but the effect is not great, so Chopin directly sent the Old Guards as soon as he learned the news.
In tests conducted in 1849, the Minne rifle was able to penetrate two two-third-inch thick planks of aspen wood within 15 yards, with 20 inches apart, demonstrating the power of the Minne.
And under this death-like noise, the picture in front of him seemed to suddenly stand still, and the figure of a "Judgment Knight" who rushed over frantically paused suddenly, and in the next second, everything returned to normal.
With the huge impact force pouring out, the figures of these "Judgment Knights" immediately flew back upside down, and those "Judgment Knights" who were directly hit in the head, with the bursting of piles of white brains, the figures swayed a few times, and fell forever, only this time, they finally did not move.
"Bang bang-"
Another salvo, the shot of the Migne bullet, was undoubtedly fatal for these "Knights of Judgment".
Under the continuous roar of thunderstorms, the devilish figure in front of him was shrinking, and the distance between the two sides was also shrinking.
From beginning to end, these old guards did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and when these "Knights of Judgment" swooped down like a tidal wave, the Barek infantry regiment, which had been waiting a little impatiently, met it at the first opportunity.
At this moment, what they showed was surging battle intent, bloodthirsty excitement and ...... Fight without regrets!
The final and most fierce battle spread like a front, and then collided like cold and hard steel.
The dragon fights with the wild, and its blood is yellow!
Soon after, with the roar that boiled like hot water, the thick blood stained the whole land red......
And in the process of this tragic battle, what no one noticed was that as one "Knights of Judgment" fell, dots of white light began to flicker and emerge in this space.
Feeling the movement of the necklace around his neck, Chopin was a little surprised at first, but then, he showed a clear look, and then muttered: "Sure enough, ......"
************
Just as the battle in the rear gradually came to an end, the collision between the frontal armies of the two sides had just entered the climax.
The sound of shouting and killing was like thunder, boiling over the entire battlefield.
I don't know what Corderson really thinks, at such a moment, he actually ordered the initiative to attack.
At this time, if you talk about the number of people, Chopin and their side are undoubtedly in an absolute disadvantage, although Chopin after returning to the city of Paris, and recruited a lot, at this time, the number of all kinds of soldiers who landed on the island alone combined, there are nearly 3,000 people, but even because of the bloody battle and the roar of artillery fire before, the number of elite soldiers under Colderson is still close to about 10,000.
However, because of the great weapon of artillery, the balance of victory was undoubtedly completely tilted towards Chopin and his side.
This is one of the most terrifying and efficient killing machines on the battlefield!
In the world in which Chopin once lived, the advent of artillery even changed the situation of warfare to a certain extent.
Although I don't understand the other party's crazy and even self-defeating actions, but in any case, before the two sides officially collide, these guys in front of them must first experience the baptism of death of artillery.
"Fire!"
As Chopin's calm, resolute and expectant roar sounded, a gunner did not hesitate to ignite the line of fire.
"Boom-boom-boom!"
Accompanied by the roar of the artillery, a large amount of gunpowder smoke also spread out like a fog.
The furious sound was like thunder, and the blazing light was like a door of light descended from God, as if to cleanse away all sin and darkness.
The incessant roar of artillery fire is like the most passionate and surging music, and the climax is repeated.
Then, the cannonballs that Coldson's soldiers could not imagine or comprehend crossed the sky like meteors, momentary and eternal, and then burst like fireworks, bright and dazzling.
It's just that what is hidden under this beauty is an incomparably turbulent killing machine.
As the blazing light lit up, driven by the expanding force of the gunpowder explosion, the blazing heat and terrifying power spread out, like an invisible net shrouded forward.
Each solid iron ball flew like a meteor across the sky, and then fell fiercely, with a terrifying force that shook the heavens and the earth, ruthlessly tearing apart all obstacles in front of him.
And the incomparably tragic and bloody scenes that followed seemed to silently confirm all this.
Driven by the terrifying power of gunpowder expansion, the seemingly tough human body is actually extremely fragile, the solid iron ball is like the sharpest sharp knife, tearing apart the body of one soldier after another, and finally it will slowly stagnate, and the ground is full of stumps and broken remains, and the red blood flows out of the body of a screaming soldier like no money.
These soldiers are elite, but they are not emotionless "living dead" like the "Knights of Judgment", they will also be excited, afraid, and ...... Flinch.
As the elite soldiers of Fordeson who made a name for themselves in the West Sea, they are actually not afraid of death when necessary, but the premise is that they can achieve victory, but the current nightmarish scene makes them unable to see a trace of victory and survival, so with the fall of one partner after another beside them, the minds of these soldiers are also irrepressibly active.
However, the roar of the artillery will never pause for a moment because of their thoughts, and the continuous roar of the artillery seems to be endless, wave after wave, and even the dark earth below him seems to be trembling.
With the frantic charge of these soldiers on the opposite side, the distance between the two sides is actually rapidly shrinking, but this last point of distance that seems to be within reach is like a moat, standing between the two, and these soldiers will have to pay an extremely heavy price if they want to continue to advance every step.
"Bang bang-"
When the roar of the artillery stopped for a short time, the infantry had already lined up in several rows, and the flintlock trigger was pulled at the first time, and then, the metal storm formed by the convergence of hundreds of lead bullets also ruthlessly swept towards the first approaching soldiers.
The dense flames burst into flames in an instant, and the continuous fiery snakes roared wildly like angry dragons, writhing their bloated and fiery bodies, and wantonly scorching the soldiers in front of them.
And under this dense buckshot shot, the screams and moans were like a raging wind, which did not give people the slightest time to think, and then swept through everything in the most violent and crazy attitude!
The thick smoke spread like a mist, accompanied by a violent cough, and no matter how unwilling a soldier was at this time, he could only fall weakly.
After a round of firing, the line infantry in the front row quickly crouched down and began to quickly reload the lead bullet, and at the same moment, the line infantry in the second row also pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Accompanied by the blazing flames, a large number of tiny black shadows suddenly fell towards the soldiers who were still struggling to advance at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
As the lead bullets roared out, the withered flowers of death continued to bloom.
And as time passed, the originally continuous artillery offensive began to sound intermittently.
After that, there is the inevitable head-to-head confrontation.
The first to rush out was still the Polish Guards cavalry, followed by the spearmen, the Barek Infantry Regiment, the Cold Creek Guards, and the line infantry that was steadily advancing at the rear.
And as the roar of the artillery stopped, these soldiers who were originally struggling in the abyss of hell finally saw a glimmer of hope for victory, so these extremely embarrassed soldiers under Colderson launched a fierce counterattack at the first time.
The rain of arrows like locusts came in waves, and under the embellishment of the crystal light, it was like a flickering meteor shower, and the scattered arrow rain kept swaying down from mid-air, and under this dense tide-like attack, whether these soldiers in front of them could survive under this dense rain of arrows depended entirely on luck.
Then, the fierce battle that could not be described in words, from here, and then without any fancy, it climbed to the top in an instant.
In the eyes of the soldiers under Colderson, most of the reason why the other party is so powerful is because of those unknown weapons, but then in an instant, they rose to the extreme of the fight, but they found that everything was not the same as what they wanted.
And as the collision became more and more intense, this dark black land was also completely transformed into the bloodiest and most crazy slaughterhouse, and the fresh lives were instantly turned into broken minced meat under the rotation of the death mill.
Scarlet blood was flowing, a large number of bone fragments, blurred flesh, and broken limbs were spread all over the ground, and the originally dark black ground was dyed a thrilling blood red.
The air was filled with bloody, rancid, choking, and unpleasant smells, and in the haze-like closed sky, the smoke of gunpowder continued to rise, turning into a devilish smile, which seemed to mock everyone silently.
