Chapter 241.The Fury of the 24-pounder Guards Infantry Cannon!!
Luck was not bad, seeing where the pointer finally fell, Chopin's heart was also suddenly relieved, with the addition of these 600 Mamluks, to deal with the surging skeleton army in front of him, not to say anything about victory in hand, but at least he could contend with it.

As long as the cavalry in front of him can entangle the surging skeleton army in front of him, and give the 600 line infantry and 12-pounder cavalry guns in the rear enough time to output, the number of skeleton troops in front of him will double or even several times, and Chopin is confident that he can wipe out all these skeletons cleanly.
After all, in the modern history of warfare in Chopin's time, the appearance of firearms, along with the way the whole world fights, has changed greatly, and with the passage of time, the role of firearms in warfare has also become more and more important.
In the era of cold weapons, there are no collisions between swords and guns, but with the continuous development of modern scientific and technological civilization, there are fewer and fewer collisions.
Science and technology are always the first force of development, and this is an eternal truth, whether in the dreamlike world in which Chopin once lived, or in this other world.
And Chopin, with muskets and cannons, is destined to change the entire Endless Sea!
Determined, Chopin looked at the last disc.
With a movement in his heart, the pointer spun rapidly again, and this time, the item he drew undoubtedly shook his heart again--the 24-pounder Guards Infantry Cannon!
As one of the artillery powers on the European continent at that time, France's artillery was undoubtedly quite powerful, and in the whole war of the Empire, the 24-pounder Guards infantry gun was a bug-like super artillery, although the range was the same as that of the 12-pounder infantry gun, but the power of the two was completely incomparable.
Chopin never imagined that his luck would be so good, first drawing the galleons and Mamluks, and now the 24-pounder Guards infantry gun.
However, being pressed and beaten by these skeletons like this for a long time should also let them know what is called the romance of catharsis of artillery!
As Chopin's mind moved, the two golden cards with Mamluks and the 24-pounder Guards Infantry Cannon, respectively, that had been hovering in his blue pupils quickly shattered.
Then, with the golden ripples rippling like water waves, the holy light will finally dispel all darkness!
***********
The fierce battle continued, and just as the Guards Heavy Cavalry desperately blocked the almost endless skeleton warriors around them, the Hellhounds on both wings no longer hid their figures, but rushed forward like a tiger descending from a mountain.
And what awaits them is the deadliest metal frenzy of the line infantry.
The destructive power exerted by 600 line infantry is not a star, it is enough to make any enemy fear and even tremble.
However, the skeletal dog that rushed straight towards faced the black muzzle in front of him, but he still rammed through without hesitation.
The speed at which these skeletal dogs could move was so incredible that it would be difficult for a line of infantry to aim at them, but with such a dense range of musket fire, no amount of speed was enough.
The body of a skeleton dog shattered and cracked under the wild buckshot shot, and finally turned into white bones all over the ground, but these skeleton dogs had no idea what fear was.
Even as one companion fell, the speed and movement of their forward rush did not change in the slightest, mechanical and terrifying.
200 meters, 100 meters, 80 meters, 60 meters......
Just as these skeletal dogs were about to burst in, thousands of spearmen suddenly emerged from the bunkers of the ruins.
One by one, they held three-meter spears, and then rushed towards the skeletal dog in front of them without fear of death.
These spearmen were all dressed in lean pale white military uniforms, carrying sturdy rucksacks on their backs, and the three-meter spears in their hands were made of fine wood, the shafts were hard and still tough, and the tips of the spears made of steel were like a forest of steel at the top, shining with bewildering colors in the shining light.
Thousands of spearmen stood next to each other in a "spear wall", a formation that was in a sense invincible in the face.
This kind of purely passive hand-to-hand combat is naturally powerless against musketeers, and it can even be said to be a target for passive beating, but in this other world, where can the muzzle of a gun be aimed at them in a world where musket technology has not yet developed.
Although the line infantry has quite good melee ability after being equipped with a ring bayonet, how can the efficiency of melee combat be compared to the catharsis of the upper flintlock pistol.
As for the movement of those skeleton dogs, Chopin had already noticed the movement of those skeleton dogs, so before the lottery, he summoned a full ten, a thousand or two hundred spearmen, in one go.
In the whole battle of the Empire, the spearmen are undoubtedly the kind of troops that will be disbanded at the beginning, and their status is basically no different from the skeleton warriors who are used as cannon fodder in the skeleton army at this time, but they can greatly alleviate the offensive of these skeleton dogs, buy time for the line infantry behind them, and in addition, it can be said that the more important thing is - cheap!
A spearman only needs 150 energy to summon, and Chopin only has about 1500 energy left on hand at this time, but the current battle situation is imminent, so he simply summons ten lines of infantry at once.
And when the skeletal dog attacked frantically, the battle was undoubtedly extremely tragic and bloody.
These skeletal dogs move extremely fast, and once they burst into the vicinity of the spearmen, they will immediately pounce on them, then open their mouths and tear at the flesh of these spearmen with a terrifying bite comparable to that of a lion and a tiger.
But in the same way, when the skull dog burst in, a cold spear pierced into these bones without the slightest hesitation, and as the speed of the advance stagnated, the spear that fell on them was not one or two, and the body of the skull dog trembled, and the soul flame that flashed in the empty eyes was immediately extinguished.
It's just that one side is a human being with flesh and blood, and the other side is an undead creature who doesn't know pain or fear, and in terms of physical fitness, these skeleton dogs are even higher than those spearmen as a whole, and that amazing speed makes them send those spearmen into the abyss of hell again and again.
However, despite the attack of these skeletal dogs, the thousands of spearmen were like a flat boat on the endless ocean, which seemed to be about to capsize at any time, but they were always stubborn and difficult to run rampant on the surface of the sea.
As the skeletal dogs' offensive stalled, a line infantry who had been given a precious rest time reloaded with lead bullets, and then the torrent of metal that destroyed everything came again.
"Bang bang-"
The dense blazing light bloomed in an instant, and it seemed that at the same moment, the sound of "crackling" popping beans also sounded one after another, and the unpleasant smell of gunpowder smoke continued to drift and rise, and finally turned into a dead knot that could never be untied.
In the thick smoke of gunpowder, dreamlike flames kept blooming, but this flame did not bring warmth, but suffocating death.
In this high-speed shooting, the tips of the soft lead bullets are constantly deformed, as if tearing off the hypocrisy that originally shrouded the body, and then revealing the most terrifying and manic side.
The pale skeleton of the skeletal dog that seemed to have a good hardness was as fragile as white paper under the impact of a lead bullet no larger than the size of a fingernail.
"Click-"
The buckshot tore cleanly and neatly, piercing through the pelvic cavity of the skeletal dog in front of him, and then the broken half of the buckshot rushed towards the skull dog behind him.
With these spearmen to stop the attack of these skeleton dogs, their fate is already sealed, and there is only one, and that is - perdition!
**********
"Shoot!"
Looking at the dozens of figures in front of him who were constantly dripping scarlet blood, Chopin's heart was also dripping blood at this time.
The casualties of the two heavy cavalry of the Guards Polish Cavalry and the Guards Grenadier Cavalry at this time were undoubtedly quite heavy, but it was precisely because of their desperate blocking that the advance of the skeleton army in front of them would be so difficult, but the price was inevitably too great.
And with Chopin's endless angry roar, the 6-pounder cavalry cannon that fell silent again bloomed with great light.
As soon as the scorching tongs and the thick hemp rope collided, a foul black smoke rose and the flames rose straight into the tiny hollow.
The dense gunpowder ignited in an instant in that small and cramped space, and the black pressure of the cannon muzzle suddenly became extremely hot, and the surging force of the gunpowder expansion and explosion could not be unleashed wantonly because of the restraint of the tight bronze tubes around it, and could only impact along the specially set aside barrel opening.
Boom-boom-boom-boom!
With the thunderous roar of madness, all the heat and madness were completely released at this moment.
The loud sound shook all directions, and the thunder-like anger completely descended on the world at this moment.
Iron balls carried unimaginable speeds, like bright meteors, across the sky, and then in the surging army of skeletons, brought out one thorny road after another.
The sharp whistling was accompanied by the ever-spreading smoke of gunpowder, and then the ripples of death were also like rippling lakes, spreading outward in circles and circles.
At the same moment, the 24-pounder Guards infantry cannon summoned by Chopin was also the first time in this other world, emitting its violent and terrifying roar.
If the cavalry cannon smashed the corpse of a skeleton warrior to pieces in the wildest and most irritable manner, and the training iron ball that shot out of the 24-pounder Guards infantry cannon was like an iron fist smashed by a giant made of steel, everything, all the black pressed core iron balls pierced everything in the road, whether it was the skeleton warriors in the front or the skeleton archers in the rear, under the action of this surging and surging force, Their bodies couldn't even block the iron ball slightly, and there was an extra hole the size of a bowl in their chests, and all the bones in it were forced to "push" out with the most violent force the moment the solid iron ball passed through, and finally turned into countless flying bone fragments.
The skeleton warrior's body trembled twice, and then the skeleton of the entire body collapsed like a high-rise building about to collapse.
And as the skeleton broke, that little bit of dark blue soul flame also fell, but it was immediately plundered back by the white light.
However, after hitting the ground, the black iron ball still burrowed into the dark black ground in the wildest form, bringing up splashes of dirt all over the ground.
This wild dance of the training iron balls, like a bulldozer with an astonishing tonnage in the previous life, accompanied by the huge roar of the engine, and then forced to be born in this skeleton army, pear out of a bloody road dozens of meters long.
This is the "romance" of the 24-pounder Guards infantry gun!
After a short silence, before the skeleton army in front of him could make any movements, the roar of artillery rang out again.
The flames and heat of the 6-pounder cavalry guns and the 24-pounder Guards infantry guns scorched the entire battlefield back and forth......
**********
After the roar of the artillery fell silent, the smoke of gunpowder spread from all directions, but it continued to rise and expand, and finally turned into the face of a devil crawling out of the abyss of hell.
Before the smoke cleared, from the black fog, the ground suddenly trembled wildly, as if some terrifying monster was about to break out of its shell.
With the sound of horses' hooves hitting the earth, a full 600 Mamluks rushed out.
600 Mamluks drew their knives in unison, but what they brought out was the sound of uniform metal friction,
A famous horse mluk looked at the torn and disfigured skeleton army in front of him, his eyes were cold and cold, and the horses under the crotches of the cavalry slowly moved forward with their legs lightly knocking on the horse's belly.
"Long live France!"
The horseshoe stomped heavily on the dark earth, and a famous Mamluk roared wildly with wide eyes, and a heavy gasp seemed to carry the breath of gunsmoke, and even his chest seemed to be ignited by the raging fire of war.
And with this roar that seemed to be full of infinite cohesion, the charge was also officially kicked off.
A famous horse Muruk clenched the saber in his hand, accompanied by the undulating war horse, and their faces were only solemn.
The catharsis of the fire of the artillery and tunnel guns one after another, as well as the desperate killing of the two heavy cavalry of the Guards Polish Cavalry and the Guards Grenadier Cavalry, made the skeleton warriors who had been used as cannon fodder also suffered most of the damage at this time, and the catharsis of the last round of artillery fire just now made these remaining thousands of skeleton warriors all fall to the ground, and this also means that at this time, there is no protection in front of the nearly two thousand skeleton archers.
At this time, these energetic Mamluk cavalry will be like the sharpest knives, straight into the chests of those skeleton archers!
