Chapter 149: Annihilation
In this case, some soldiers who reacted quickly immediately wanted to slip away, but there were bustling voices of people in the surrounding castles, and I don't know how many people were ambushing between the castles.
Now there is only one dead end.
And this matter is obviously that Her Royal Highness the princess dug a pit by herself and let them jump down, obviously she will not be soft, and now the situation faced by the soldiers of the Eritwin Kingdom can be described as nine deaths.
However, the only ones who were able to organize an ambush of this magnitude in this area were the Elma people of the Northwest of the Empire, but why would they help Lilina, the empty princess, ambush herself?
There is no reason, and there is no benefit, it is simply inexplicable.
And how Her Royal Highness the princess found such a helper, I don't know anything.
It's not like a certain Elma boss and the little princess had a relationship during their study in the academy city, and the little princess fell in love, so they took the risk to come and grab their relatives, right?
Although the probability is small, it is the only one that is the most likely of all the scenarios.
If this is the case, then the reason for this ambush is actually because of a high-ranking figure of the Irma people who have a sperm in the brain, and such a thing will 100% lead to an international war with millions of casualties.
Crazy, all crazy. For the sake of personal feelings, he did not hesitate to attack the regular troops of other countries, and such a person actually became the top of the Elma people, which is simply an unspeakable absurd drama.
The thoughts of the soldiers and junior officers also stopped at this level, although everyone thought briefly at this moment, and their thoughts were also partially hit, such as the nearby Irma forces who came to ambush them. For example, the reason is that Princess Lilina has some kind of connection with the Irma people during her time in College City.
However, it was not the so-called personal feelings or other nonsense like "justice" that drove the Irma people to take risks, but the naked interests of the group that drove the ambush.
Of course, this was only a brief reflection on the part of the soldiers of the Eritwin Kingdom, and their most important thing now was to break through.
Among the guards who came to escort Lylina, there were still officers, and he also exerted the consciousness of an officer.
"Everyone gathered quickly, and before the ambushers could concentrate their forces on blocking this area, we immediately broke through from the southwest avenue."
More than twenty soldiers of the Yertwin Kingdom, riding horses and carrying guns, gathered into a triangular formation in a very short time.
They immediately lined up and broke through to the southwest avenue.
Scattered and broke through, they were all alone, and naturally they would be broken one by one by the Irma armed forces who had already been ambushed in various parts of the castle group, and none of them could escape.
And concentrating forces together and breaking through in one direction is highly likely to break through.
There are not too many people hidden in the castle group, otherwise they can find clues as early as when they enter the castle group.
The Irma forces lying in ambush nearby, at most three times the number of the remaining soldiers of the Eritwin Kingdom, now chose to concentrate their forces on breaking through in one direction, and the group of riders was likely to retreat in one piece.
The decision was the right one, and every soldier believed in the order and carried it out with all his might.
However, the more rational decisions human beings make in a certain environment, the more they can be deduced in advance.
And Fili Darke, the high-ranking of the Elma, clearly anticipated what choice the soldiers of the Eritwin Kingdom would make.
He immediately shouted to the inside of the castle, "Boys, give them cannons. "Let's have a book
Then, Philip Dahl cast a spell, and a gap and a small platform appeared in the castle.
A group of Irma gunners marched onto the small turret, with a four-pounder gun already housed in the castle.
The artillery spotter pointed his measuring tools at the cavalrymen who were breaking through, and then he shouted: "Aim southwest, adjust the muzzle downward, 21 degrees!" ”
One of the gunners twisted the wheel, and the muzzle of the gun began to move downward, and finally it was fixed, aiming at the southwestern avenue.
A second later, the observer shouted, "Launch!" ”
Another gunner pulls the string on the gun, triggering the ignition of the trigger.
"Boom"! The four-pounder cannon fired a cannonball, and the landing point was seven or eight meters in front of the Breakthrough Knight.
It was an incendiary bomb containing a flammable substance, and as soon as the shell hit the surface, it exploded, spreading flames in all directions, startling the moving horses and temporarily blocking the way of the cavalry.
After firing this shell, the recoil of the cannon shook the temporary turret made of earth magic and a large crack appeared, and several of the artillerymen had to retreat into the castle.
The horses were a little frightened, and the road in front of them was temporarily blocked, and more than twenty knights were delayed for nearly half a minute because of this cannonball.
It was a fatal half a minute.
The Elma forces hidden in the castle complex had rushed out and approached the southwest avenue from all directions.
When the flames of the incendiary grenades were about to be extinguished, nearly thirty Irma soldiers with rifles took up a position thirty meters from the path where the riders were traveling.
Half of them were half-crouching with guns, half standing with guns, and the Irma infantry formed a dense and regular line, blocking the way of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Eritwin.
And from the ancient castle in the rear, there were also Irma soldiers rushing over with muskets.
"Charge. Get out of their way! The officer of the Kingdom of Eritvin burst into flames, and he almost roared in rage.
Now that a wave of Irma people has broken down the formation of the Irma people who are in their way, they still have a chance to live.
But is it possible? A group of musketeers sprinted against a line of musketeers who had already formed a formation, which was obviously a suicide of headbutting the south wall, but every soldier of the Eritwin Kingdom knew that the only possibility of surrendering in this situation was to be killed, and it was better to fight last.
"Fire." The officers of the Kingdom of Eritwin ordered, and the musketeers opened fire together.
Unfortunately, they were small in number, and they couldn't spread out their formation on a road, so this round of shooting only knocked down four Irma soldiers, and it didn't hurt.
And the Irma side also gave the order.
"Shoot!"
The squatting and standing infantrymen fired neat tongues of fire from their muskets, and more than half of the cavalry fell from their horses in this shot.
"Sprint!!" The commander of the Irma gave the order again mercilessly, and this platoon of Irma, as well as the Irma who had come from all over the place, charged forward with rifles with bayonets.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Eritvin were wrapped in a circle, and they were about to break the gap of twenty people.
