A tumbling mushroom flame appeared in the sky above the Blue Mountain Pass, blinding the eyes of tens of thousands of dogs around them, and the ensuing earthquake tremor terrified them even more, and many people began to kneel and worship, hoping to be forgiven by the true God.

"Damn, there's too much gunpowder!"

Charles who had entered the interior of the Blue Mountain Pass had only seen this kind of violent explosion on the screen, and it was a little shocking when he faced it in real life.

Even if the black powder is purified and granulated, its detonation rate is worth several hundred meters per second, and theoretically it can only explode in a closed space, and can only deflagrate and burn in a non-enclosed space.

The city gate on the southern city wall of the Blue Mountain Pass is a semi-enclosed space, and Xia Er thought about it and felt that it was difficult to blow up the effect of black powder alone, so he improved the black powder, added a small part of nitrification explosives, and mixed it into the kind of Zhou's explosives used by the "conscienceless cannon" in the previous time and space, and feared that the twenty-meter-wide city wall would not collapse, and it also piled up a terrifying magnitude, and then achieved the current amazing effect.

More than a dozen battalion commanders of the Lorraine Regiment had been practicing their troops outside, waiting suspiciously for the signal to attack, and then they finally understood what "a loud bang" meant.

"Get up, get up, attack forward, and advance according to the strong attack training subject!"

The rough and simple boy Neo Griver reacted first, kicking several soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and trembling with a few kicks in a row, and the loud voice continued to spread in the field, and the five hundred soldiers under his command got up in a panic under the rude abuse of the grassroots officers who led the team.

The impact of the explosion made these soldiers a little dizzy, but the supernatural shock made them feel even more frightened, but the training subjects that they usually repeated many times made them form a physical conditioned reflex, and when the whistle sounded briefly, they obediently lined up according to the training process and followed the leading officer with his head down.

In fact, before the start of this war, many people were not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Lorraine side, because whether it was the Charles's family private army or the Lorraine Legion, the proportion of recruits was too high, and their opponents, the Black Oak Legion and the Red Oak Legion, were recognized as second-rate legions on the mainland, and the two sides had a very obvious difference in strength.

The reason why the Red Oak Legion shrank in the Blue Mountain Pass a while ago and couldn't come out was just because the battle losses were too big and there were too many wounded, so they couldn't afford to risk breaking up the formation and fighting with the Lorraine Legion.

However, Charles had a different view, although his Lorraine regiment had a large number of recruits, but the backbone was veterans with combat experience, and for the first time established a complete tactical command system of battalions, companies, platoons, and squads within the regiment.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Lorraine Regiment have been trained with the intensity of two or even three exercises a day, and have basically completed various basic training so far, and the commonly used tactical subjects have also been simulated in a targeted manner, although the tactical manual compiled by Charles is somewhat simple, but the basic leading officers at least know what they should do in a certain tactic.

The soldiers of the Red Oak and Black Oak legions are semi-professional, serving as soldiers in wartime and farmers in leisure time, even if most of them are veterans of the battlefield, but can passive and numb combat be the same as fighting with tactical purposes?

The two infantry battalions of the Lorraine Regiment were scattered in infantry companies of about 100 men and approached the defensive positions of the Lucers under the Blue Mountain Pass, waiting for the artillery support of the artillery team behind them according to the flow of the attack tactics.

"Master Neo, ...... ahead"

"How many times have you said it, call me battalion commander!"

The humble boy Neo Graft scolded the commander of his guard company, this family warrior who taught him martial arts skills since he was a child is very uncomfortable with his new identity, and always brings the same set of the noble private army into the army, and has made the counselor say it several times.

"Battalion commander, the Lucernes on the other side seem to be wrong, do you think we still have to wait for the artillery behind?"

"Is that guy from Passel waiting for artillery support?"

"Battalion Commander, the third battalion has begun to assault the positions of the Lucerins. ”

"Then what are you waiting for? Signal the artillery in the back, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies will attack head-on, and the 4th company will be in reserve, up!"

The soldiers of the 1st Infantry Battalion, under the leadership of the company commander, platoon commander, and squad leader, slowly moved and gradually increased the speed of movement.

The fighters, who were trained daily for armed long-distance running, quickly crossed a distance of several hundred meters and came into contact with the defensive positions of the Lucernes.

Several prominent sharp-knife infantry platoons ran away from the brigade, shook their hands and threw the grenades in their hands, and then half-crouched and raised their guns to aim ahead to prevent the enemy's sudden counterattack, and a series of movements were exactly the same as during training.

"Boom... Rumble... Boom"

After the sound of the explosion, the large force behind just followed, and a group of people swarmed up according to the training queue distribution, gritting their teeth and rushing into the enemy's position.

"Oh my God! is ...... Is it divine punishment?"

All of them made you be blown away by the scene in front of you.

In the past, Rinho was worried when he saw the tall city wall of the Blue Mountain Pass, and he thought in his heart that he didn't know how many people would have to die to attack it, but now this tall city wall is like a dam that has been broken by a flood, and it has directly opened a gap of hundreds of meters wide.

The long boulders that built the city walls flew everywhere, and the city gate hole was gone. Even those city walls that had not collapsed had cracked like spider webs, and the Lucerne warriors on guard above did not move, and even the fortress guns seemed to be skewed by the shock.

And the Lucerne position was full of people who fell to the ground, their ears, nostrils, and the corners of their mouths were oozing blood, many of them had stopped breathing, and most of the rest only had the strength to "hum", basically without the ability to resist.

"Bang bang bang!"

Bursts of gunfire were heard from the other side of the position, and it was the third battalion of Passel Darnet that began to enter the position, and Neo Grievt immediately shouted: "Don't stand stupidly, keep the battle formation forward, clear the danger, and beware of the Lucerne counter-charge." ”

After many days of combat adaptation training, a group of peasant recruits who had never seen blood had become accustomed to the sound of gunfire and the death and wounding of their comrades, and the killing wildness hidden in their bodies had begun to be revealed, and now they shot at the sight of a figure, and when they saw a half-dead person lying on the ground, a bayonet was the only thing lying on the ground, and their wrists would never tremble as they did at the beginning.

"Stop firing, the first and second companies continue to move forward with me, the third and fourth companies keep the flanks on guard, and the guard company sweeps the battlefield and takes these damned Lucerne captives under control. ”

Neo Grifft sent his own company of guards to clean up the battlefield, gather the Lucernes who had not yet been shocked by the blast wave of the explosion, and who would probably be able to exchange them for a gratuity in the future, and led them to the center of the explosion.

The third battalion on the other side did the same thing, and the commander of the battalion, Passel Dannet, who was known as the smartest battalion commander, also let his cronies clean up the battlefield and led people to rush to the collapsed city gate.

The two of them have been trained as knights since childhood, and naturally know the great significance of occupying the breakthrough when attacking the city, as long as the breakthrough is held, the follow-up troops will continue to rush into the Blue Mountain Pass, and the tactical purpose of this battle has been half completed, and the balance of victory and defeat will begin to tilt towards their side.

"Hurry, hurry, go and plug the gap in the wall, you fools....... The people of Lorraine are coming up!"

"My lord, we ....... No weapons........"

"Stones, fists, and teeth without weapons........"

Anxious shouts were heard from inside the gap in the wall, and it was clear that the officers of the Black Oak Legion were aware of the importance of the gap, and were urging their men to block it.

Neo Griver was also anxious, shouting to the right: "Passel, let your men cover us!"

But there was only one cold word in the night sky: "You should cover us!"

There were already a large number of figures flickering in the gap in the wall, and the first battalion of Neo Graft and the third battalion of Passel Darnet were still more than a hundred meters away from the gap.

"Bastard! Passel, you're stealing credit!"

"The 1st Battalion stopped advancing, fired in formation, and alternated cover with friendly forces!"

Neo Griffott scolded angrily, and could only command his men to shoot in formation and shoot blindly at the figure at the gap, according to the tactical requirements in the tactical manual, at this time it was necessary to divide a team to provide shooting cover to reduce the enemy's concentration speed and counterattack strength.

At this time, the 3rd Battalion of Passel Danette also increased its speed according to the requirements of the tactical exercise, and rushed to the collapsed wall gap at the risk of being sniped by the Lucernes.

At the gap, people were constantly shot and fell to the ground, making oozing screams, and the shadowy figures panicked and wanted to return to the city, but scattered gunshots rang out from inside the Blue Mountain Pass, driving them out again.

"Don't shoot....... I beg you........ Don't shoot......."

The Lucernes at the gap were forced to run out, and by this time Neo Graft and the others had already seen that these people were not soldiers of the Black Oak Legion, but ordinary civilians who had been recruited.

The men, disheveled and shoeless, apparently had just woken up from their dreams, and they ran and wept, and the miserable cry for mercy was heard in the ears of the soldiers of the Lorraine Legion, awakening pity in their hearts, and many of them hesitantly stopped shooting and looked at their leading officers.

Neo Grifft was also hesitant, as the tactics manual distributed by the Marquis did not describe what to do in such a situation, but he also knew that the Lucerne soldiers within the city walls were rapidly massing, and a moment's delay would be one point away from victory.

"Stop, line, aim, shoot!"

The 3rd Battalion, which had already approached a few dozen meters from the gap, was also blocked by the people who had been driven out of the gap, but Passel Danette did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately issued a cold-blooded and ruthless order.

"Bang bang bang!"

"No...... I beg you to ......"

"We surrender ......."

"One company and two companies fired in formation, three companies and four companies with bayonets, forward!"

The dense volley of guns fell on the close Luxem Minfu, and the miserable cry of the wolf could not shake the determination of Passel Danette to move forward, and the soldiers endured the discomfort in their hearts, mechanically mounted their bayonets, walked in unison, and stepped forward to stab with their eyes closed.

"Neo, don't you hear the neighing of the horses in the pass? What are you waiting for? they're all Lucernes!"

Neo Grift suddenly realized that the Lucerne soldiers in the Blue Mountains Pass had deliberately driven these men out to hinder the attack of the Lorraine people, and if he could not quickly deal with these poor people, the cavalry gathered in the Blue Mountain Pass could scatter the Lorraine soldiers who had just rushed to the gap and had not yet gained a firm foothold.

Now both sides are buying time, the Lorrainians have the advantage of having already assembled, the Luxians have the advantage of suppression in the troops, and who loses and who wins is only a thought.

"Put on the bayonet, push forward, without pausing......."

The humble boy Neo Griver shouted out the order in a hoarse voice, and his company commanders, platoon commanders, and squad leaders took the lead in putting on the bayonets, and the bright bayonet wall trembled and pushed forward.

In the space of two minutes, the gap in the southern wall of the Blue Mountain Pass was like a Shura hell, and the pungent smell of blood, the terrible screams, and the roaring orders of the officers left a scene that the recruits of the Lorraine Legion would never forget.

Blood soaked the ground beneath the walls of the Blue Mountain Pass, and the warriors of Lorraine stepped over the corpses all over the ground, and finally rushed to the gap in the city wall, and the remaining hundreds of people fled back to the Blue Mountain Pass, this time they were not driven again, because a cavalry team of two hundred horsemen in the pass had been assembled and began to run in small steps.

Cavalry needs enough speed to exert its great impact, and cavalry without speed is a target for infantry, especially the Lorraine regiment with revolvers up to the squad leader.

"Quick, the first and second companies will build defensive positions, the third company will prepare to take over, the grenadiers will prepare, the fourth company will pay attention to the enemy on the city walls on both sides, and the signal bearers will send out a light signal to the back, asking the artillery team to urgently come forward to support!"

"Be sure to hold it for five minutes, and in five minutes our reinforcements will come in. ”

Neo Gricht and Passel Graft each had a tacit understanding of sending two companies to the forward position, ready for a difficult infantry confrontation.

In the tactics manual issued to them by the Charles, there are complete points of infantry tactics against them.

Somewhere in the dark, Charles had the "Fire Dragon Roar" in his hand, ready to save the scene at any time, he could actually disrupt the assembled two hundred cavalry now, but he now needed a strong-willed descendant army.

High-intensity training can sharpen good military skills, but the will to fight requires blood.

The sound of horses' hooves of "knock knock" was getting closer and closer, and the warriors of the Lorraine Legion were getting more and more nervous.

Luxon's cavalry, dressed in metal armor like ancient knights, reflected the cold glow in the moonlight, and the two hundred horsemen were divided into three rows, with three or four meters of cavalry spears at the end, forming a rectangular mobile fortress.

"Two hundred meters ......"

"One hundred and fifty meters, fire!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The new rifles of the Lorraines could inflict some damage on the cavalry at a distance of 150 meters, and also gave the riflemen a safer firing distance.

Five or six of Lucerne's front cavalry were dismounted, which was nothing to the determined knights, and in another twenty seconds, the iron hooves of the horses would kick the swarm of ants in front of them.

But only two or three seconds passed.

"Bang bang bang!"

Neat gunfire rang out again, and this time the salvo knocked down seven or eight cavalrymen.

"Bang bang bang!"

Two or three seconds.

"Bang bang bang!"

Two seconds.

The physical reflexes honed by the intense training played a role, and the soldiers of the Lorraine Legion constantly switched positions with their companions, striking a continuous fire dragon over the gap in the city wall of more than 100 meters.

Charles put down the "Fire Dragon Roar" in his hand, looked at the knights who bravely moved forward without hitting the south wall and not looking back, and sighed secretly.

"The end of the large-scale knight duel is an inevitable historical result, and knights who don't know how to be flexible can only be abandoned by this world. ”
