"Enough! Sure enough, it is worthy of a strong army that helped Charlemagne pacify the Western Continent! ”

Seeing that the enemy's infantry phalanx was pressing up violently, Liu Dade, the commander of the 109th Infantry Division of the Royal Army of the Central Empire, took off the big-brimmed military hat on his head and threw it on the ground, snatched the steel helmet from the guards, and seriously buckled it on his head!

"Master, are we going to catch up?" A guard asked tentatively. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Dade glanced at the guard, and said angrily: "They are the attackers, we are the defenders, each has its own responsibilities, if we rush to meet it, won't the empire's battle formation be chaotic?" Isn't this in the hands of the other party? ”

"That's true, but if we stay where we are, won't we lose our momentum?" The guard whispered a little depressedly.

"Momentum?!" Hearing this, Liu Dade grinned and smiled, he turned his eyes to the enemy formation that was steadily approaching, and said coldly: "Think you can take the initiative to press up and take the lead?" Don't be funny, what age is this?! ”

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Dade's words fell, dozens of 75 guns of the division's artillery regiment roared neatly, throwing the unparalleled power of destruction at the enemy!

At this time, the distance between the two sides has been shortened to three kilometers, and it has completely entered the effective range of 75 guns!

The infantry divisions on the front line of the battle formation are not only Liu Dade's 109th Infantry Division, but also the 105th, 106th, 107th, and 108th Infantry Divisions.

Suddenly, General Buck Blaze's infantry formation was overwhelmed by artillery fire! Flying shrapnel tore through thin armor and flesh, powerful shockwaves shattered the internal organs of all nearby lives, and the dense infantry formation made the shelling damage extremely terrifying! The bombardment is like the scythe of death, and every time it is swung, it can reap a lot of lives!

Liu Dade looked at the enemy formation that was bombarded by the rain of shells, and said in a meaningful tone: "The courage is good, but today's victor must not be you!" ”

It's just that, unbelievably, despite the heavy losses suffered in the shelling, the heavy infantry of the Western Empire did not stop, and under the calm command of the officers, the soldiers who were originally in the back row ran forward and made up for the incomplete battle formation in a very short time with great efficiency!

"This ...... How can it be?! Faced with this situation, Liu Dade and the soldiers of the 109th Infantry Division were stunned.

"Yellow-skinned cubs of the Eastern Continent! How do you think the armies of the Western Empire fought against the rotten bones before they got their artillery?! Compared to the magic cannon, your artillery is not much more lethal! General Blaise wiped the shredded flesh from his visor and stared contemptuously at the stunned enemy across from him, sneering with disdain.

The wars of religion that have lasted for thousands of years have long made the humans of the Western Continent look down on life and death, and for them, it makes little difference whether they die in their own bed or on a bloody battlefield! Especially these northerners who grew up in the white mountains and black waters, who leaned on Charlie's arms, were even more happy to die, treating life as something worse than grass mustard!

And after Charlemagne rose and taught the soldiers of the Western Continent what is the honor and dignity of a true soldier, compared to before, dying on the battlefield for the benefit of the country has more noble glory in their hearts! How could they be destroyed by a round of shelling?!

After the consternation, something called respect appeared in Liu Dade's eyes.

"They, like us, are real soldiers who can give everything for the people of the country!" He said.

"Division......" The guard who asked the question just now stopped talking.

Liu Dade knew what he wanted to say: "Prepare to die on the battlefield!" Because, today it is either them who are dead, it is us! ”

The guard replied awe-inspiringly, taking off his rifle from his back, he knew very well that the next battle would be extremely fierce and brutal, and if he could not kill an enemy and die, he would not be reconciled to be a ghost!

In the next ten minutes, the artillery companies of each regiment under the division also joined the attack, but they still could not stop the advance of the Western Empire heavy infantry phalanx, and the other party was like a giant with many wounds all over his body, but he did not waver, and he was moving forward step by step, no one or anything could stop him!

The distance was quickly shortened to two hundred and fifty steps, and the grassroots officers of the Western Empire gave an order, and suddenly, the entire huge battle formation suddenly stopped, and the soldiers of the Western Empire neatly raised the huge crossbow machine in their hands!

It was the Six-Stone Crossbow, the most powerful individual crossbow in the world, with an effective killing distance of a terrifying 400 paces against unarmored targets, and an effective distance of 250 paces against heavily armored targets!

"Squat !! in the front row"

Seeing that the other side was planning to fire a salvo, how could the Imperial Army be resigned? As soon as the officers gave the order, the front row of the entire battle formation seemed to be shorter in an instant, and the people in the front row squatted down, exposing the figures of the soldiers in the second row!

"The first two rows, guns raised...... Aim for ......"

The officers pulled out their straight-edged command knives one after another and raised them high!

The soldiers crouching in the first row and the soldiers in the second row leveled their rifled rifles at the same time, putting the enemy's figure into the crosshairs!

"Shoot !!"

"Fire !!"

Almost simultaneously, the commanders of both sides gave the order for a salvo!

"Buzz!"

"Phew!"

The trembling sounds of countless bowstrings and the sound of countless muskets were intertwined, forming a chilling thunderclap!

In the short seconds that followed, an extremely tragic scene appeared, the scene was as if there was an invisible Grim Reaper holding a sickle in each hand, and at the same time swept horizontally towards both sides, at least a third of the people in the front row arrays of both sides were shot and arrowed at the same time and fell to the ground, a large part of these people did not even have time to scream, they died, and the rest of the wounded covered their wounds, rolling on the ground and struggling, but even if these wounded were in pain, But there was no scream that would affect the morale of the army!

"Maybe I despised them before."

Witnessing this scene, General Blaise said with some emotion, and there was a rare trace of respect in his tone.

In order not to let the screams of the wounded shake the will to fight of the self-army, Charlemagne's army has carried out rigorous targeted training for this, and the army of the eastern kingdom of the non-subordinate can also do this, which can only show that the other party is as well-trained as himself, and ...... The same is a real army!

The crossbowmen and musketeers who had shot in the front row, and who had survived, did not glance at the wounded robes, and they immediately retreated to the rear of the battle formation along the gap reserved between the formations, and began to concentrate on reloading, while the soldiers who had been in the third or fourth platoon rose to the front, and under the command of the officers, raised their crossbows and guns as before......

There was no suspense, another round of unyielding shooting, and a large number of soldiers fell to the ground, giving their blood and lives to the country they were loyal to!

"Line up to shoot ......" Buchen raised his binoculars and looked at the tragic picture scroll that was still being staged in front of the formation, and his expression was indescribably strange.

"Your Majesty, war is like this, you don't need to have any regrets, as a soldier, fighting for the country and sacrificing for the country is our fate and responsibility." Wang Ergen saw that Buchen's face was different, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.

Buchen put down the binoculars and glanced at Wang Ergen, at this moment, his face was like iron, his tone was like ice, and there was no trace of wavering and hesitation!

"You're mistaken, Ergen." Buchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How can I not know this truth?" I just felt a little emotional. ”

"Emotion?" Wang Ergen frowned, "What is the emperor feeling?" ”

Buchen hesitated for a moment, but still said: "If there is no me in this world, Charlie Andris should be able to annex the world, right?" ”

"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Wang Ergen was confused.

However, Buchen just laughed and did not answer again. The reason why he was able to build a huge empire and build a firm and fearless national army was all because of the wisdom that transcended the times unique to being a traverser, and it can be said that he was open! And Charlie has done the same thing as him with his own talent, I have to say that the other party is really a once-in-a-lifetime genius!

"Victory is not martial~!" Buchen sighed silently in his heart.
