Chapter 260. The strong !! of the Old Guard

And as soon as these skeleton knights crossed the range of artillery, a phalanx of thousands of spearmen met them fearlessly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Sen Leng's spears took root like a forest of steel on the dark earth, and their posture at this time was also obvious, that if these skeleton knights wanted to attack the artillery camp, they had to step over their corpses.

These skeleton knights didn't feel any pity because of this, and as the undead war horses under them accelerated, the dark black earth also shook wildly.

More than 300 skeleton knights swept by like a raging wind, and at the moment of the charge, these more than 300 skeleton knights seemed to turn into one, like an incomparably sharp giant blade, cutting a ravine more than ten meters long in the camp of the spearmen.

Under this earth-shattering terrifying power, a spearman's face also involuntarily turned pale, and his eyes inevitably showed fear and retreat, but these emotions were only fleeting, replaced by astonishing perseverance, heroism in the face of death, and ...... Hysterical madness.

The terrifying power of the chiseling attack of hundreds of cavalry can be imagined, but from beginning to end, none of the spearmen chose to retreat, and they relied on their own flesh and blood to stop the brazen charge of this group of skeleton knights.

But all this is far from over.

Taking advantage of the moment when the charge of these skeleton knights came to a standstill, spears that were three meters long immediately stabbed at them from all directions.

It's just that this seemingly lethal spear stab fell on the bodies of these skeleton knights, barely bringing out insignificant rifts, and there was no possibility of inflicting any fatal damage on these skeleton knights.

The momentum of the charge was halted, and after a brief pause, the skeleton knights launched a ferocious attack.

No matter how brave and fearless these spearmen under Chopin were, it was impossible to stop the group of skeleton knights in front of them, who were definitely elite among the tens of thousands of undead skeletons.

In addition to being as fearless as cannon fodder-level skeleton warriors, these skeleton knights also possess greater strength, speed, and perverted tough bones, and even the lead bullets fired by flintlock pistols cannot cause any fatal damage to these skeleton knights.

The bones in the hands of these skeleton knights are all sharp bone blades nearly two meters long, and unlike the bone knives held in the hands of skeleton warriors, these bone blades are far superior to the latter in terms of sharpness, but also quite heavy, combined with the already amazing strength of these skeleton knights and the momentum of the war horse when they charge, as soon as they fall down, a spearman will fall in response, and there is no resistance at all, even if they use a spear to resist, they will be immediately knocked away by the huge force.

The skeleton knights in front of them are completely inhuman perverts, no matter how brave those spearmen under Chopin are, they are just flesh and blood after all, they will be afraid, they will be afraid, they will be afraid, and they will be tormented by the great pain, Rao is so, after seeing the strong combat power shown by these skeleton knights, they are still fighting to the death, at the cost of their own lives, stopping the advance of these skeleton knights.

However, what these skeleton knights didn't notice at all was that more than a hundred soldiers with cold eyes and serious expressions had approached, and the distance between them was less than fifty meters.

Wearing a bearskin hat on his head, dark blue gowns, breeches and black leggings, the dress of more than 100 soldiers was quite different from those soldiers under Chopin, and they were Chopin's ace soldiers - the Old Guard!

As the strongest ace army under Napoleon, they are definitely the legend of the French Empire, the Old Guard fought all of Europe with Napoleon, the great emperor, and it can be said that they have never been defeated (except for the Battle of Waterloo), which shows the strength of the Old Guard.

And in the whole war of the empire, the strength of the old guards is needless to say, its own attributes are terrifying, and what makes people even more speechless is the morale that makes people rush, even if there are only a dozen people left who have been exterminated, they are still standing.

However, the most talked about thing about the Old Guards is their stormy bayonet assault, these brave Imperial soldiers seem to have no idea that guns are used for shooting, but the bayonet assault of the Old Guards is indeed extremely strong, and the enemies who fought with them are not able to withstand it at all, even the Russian army, which was famous in Europe for bayonet white-knuckle warfare at that time, had to retreat under the power of the Old Guard.

Therefore, at a certain time in European history, whenever a team wearing a bearskin hat and advancing in a dense formation appeared on the battlefield, the officers and soldiers of the Central Powers could not stop retreating.

And in front of these veterans, there seems to be no position that cannot be broken through, and there is no line of defense that cannot be held, they are the essence of the French Continental Army. Of course, Napoleon would not easily take the Guards out to risk, even in the former Battle of Borodino, when the Russian army was obviously unstable, and as long as the Guards could be used to deal a devastating blow to the main force of the Russian army, Napoleon did not use them.

Although this was a controversial decision, it turned out that during the retreat from Moscow, when the entire French army had completely collapsed, only the Guards maintained good military discipline and protected the great French emperor from Russia safely.

The loyalty of the Old Guard was unquestionable, and in 1814, when the anti-French coalition invaded France, Napoleon, who was trapped in Fontainebleau, abdicated. By this time, the marshals, who had received all the glory and wealth from him, had rushed to leave Napoleon and swear allegiance before their new master, Louis XVIII.

The palace was empty, and almost all the servants were gone, but the soldiers of the Guards stood at their posts, guarded their emperor, and decided to share their fate with their heroes.

But, like all things, the Old Guard has finally come to the end of its history.

In the ensuing Battle of Waterloo, the once invincible Old Guards still tasted defeat after all.

However, in this other world, they will not repeat the mistakes of the past, but will write the most colorful stroke in the history of this other world!

In fact, the first time he found these skeleton knights rushing in, Chopin thought that he had a plan in his mind, he first arranged for the spearmen to try their best to stop the advance of these skeleton knights, and then when these spearmen were desperately entangled with these skeleton knights, and then arranged for these old guards to approach silently, only this time, they did not show their superb bayonet assault skills, but raised the smoothbore guns in their hands one by one.

The cold muzzle of the gun was pointed forward, this was for the ultimate victory, and when these spearmen were entangled with these skeleton knights head-on, they were already doomed......

This is the real battlefield, cruel and bloody, the losers, will lose everything, and what they need is the final victory, and at this most critical moment, with the least price to expand the results, even if it is their own people, can also be sacrificed!

"Gun on the shoulder, aim..."

The command knife in the hand of the leader had already been raised high, looking at the spearmen fighting to the death in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but flash a look of pity, but it was instantly replaced by a wave of perseverance, and then let out an angry roar: "For the sake of the French Empire, fire!" ā€

"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.

Chopin had already fought with these skeleton knights before, so he naturally knew the strength of the bones of this group of guys, and ordinary lead bullet shooting could not form any fatal blow at all, so he directly asked his old guards to go into battle together, and used Minne bullets, which were more lethal than lead bullets.

Tests conducted in 1849 found that the Migne rifle could penetrate two two-third-inch thick planks of aspen wood within 15 yards, with 20 inches apart.

Many of the spearmen couldn't even dodge, and their bodies were pierced by Mine's bullets, and like that, the lead bullets still lingered, hitting the skeleton knights hard, and the bones fell off, and then brought out scattered bone residue and fragments.

The fallen spearmen did not complain about this, because such a result had an answer in their minds long before the two sides clashed.

Everything, for the French Empire!

With just one volley, under the terrifying Kuroshio attack, the more than 300 skeleton knights had been reduced by nearly one-third.

However, before the old guards could fire a second volley, a skeleton knight's empty eyes flashed in unison, as if they knew that something could not be done, and the existence behind the scenes of this group of skeleton knights also immediately made these skeleton knights retreat, but it was too late for all this.

The large number of spearmen around them kept swinging their spears wildly, allowing their partners to fall one by one under the hammer blows of these skeleton knights, but still no one chose to retreat, but entangled these skeleton knights to death, so that they could not move forward at all.

"Bang bang-"

Another volley, and after the Migne bullet pierced through the flesh-and-blood body, it landed on the skeleton knights with great precision.

And under this continuous roar like a thunderstorm, the soul fire of one skeleton knight after another kept falling, and the white light spots that appeared with it absorbed these soul fires with great joy.

After three rounds of shooting, the skeleton knight who had originally charged over with an invincible momentum, who had been damaged, was still able to barely stand, but there were only a few dozens.

However, the price paid by Chopin's side was undoubtedly quite huge, and the thousands of spearmen who stepped forward to block it retreated at this time, but less than a third, and more than 600 spearmen returned here.

In fact, most of the more than 600 spearmen naturally died under the relentless swing of those skeleton knights, but there were still many spearmen who fell under the cathartic violence of the Minne.

Although it is extremely tragic, this is war, bloody, cruel, and helpless.

And at the same moment when these skeleton knights launched their charge before, the army of 4,000 skeletons gathered at the rear of the artillery camp also pounced like wild wolves.

The appearance of this skeleton army was completely beyond Chopin's previous expectations, after determining this area as an artillery camp, Chopin sent his cavalry several times to reconnoiter the situation within a radius of nearly a kilometer, but never found such a skeleton army.

How did Chopin know that this so-called army of skeletons was formed by the gathering of those skeletons who were ready to pour into the city of the dead from all directions, but under the guidance of the mysterious creature hidden behind the curtain of this city of the dead, those undead skeletons who were attracted gathered together and hibernated behind Chopin's queue, just to give them a fatal blow at the last moment.

Although Chopin was extremely confused, he did not seem to be panicked, and he naturally did not stupidly place all the soldiers under him, but left a large number of mobile troops.

Therefore, when he discovered the thousands of skeleton troops that had suddenly attacked in the rear, Chopin immediately arranged for more than 600 Barlake infantry and more than 300 guards cavalry to meet them.

"Dada-Da-"

With the roar of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, more than 300 Guards Polish cavalry and Guards Grenadier launched a fierce offensive towards the front with an invincible momentum.

This time, the purpose of these guards cavalry was not to kill the enemy, but to delay time, so after a chiseling attack and taking away the corpses of hundreds of skeleton warriors, the guards cavalry quickly retreated, not preparing to entangle with these skeleton knights.

While these guards cavalry retreated, more than 600 Barlake infantry brazenly met them, and after a fight, with the sound of a horn, these Barlake infantry also quickly retreated.

Because the 6-pounder cavalry guns that were originally bombarding the skeleton army head-on, at this time, ten of them had urgently changed the direction of their shots, and their targets were the thousands of skeletons that came from behind.

"Boom!"

"Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom T

With the earth-shattering roar of artillery, these four thousand undead skeletons also involuntarily sank in this mountain of corpses and blood......
