Chapter 311: Desperate Charge (I)

"Love ♂ ÷ Story→" provides you with wonderful novels to read.

"Hmph, I know more than a dozen barons in the county, but I have never heard of you, so it seems that you are probably not famous......

I can understand your desire to be famous, but don't talk big in front of me, and don't be afraid to make my soldiers all laugh and break their tongues!

Get out of the way or you'll be the one to be caught. 【愛↑去△小↓說△網 Qu 】When the time comes, I will tie you up in front of your family, and I want to see how much ransom he can pay!"

Luo Ming sneered, and immediately squirted back.

Durand, the Baron of Landingburgh, wanted to talk back, but he soon realized that it didn't make much sense.

Even the lord of the principality today may not be able to speak harshly of a bard who often brags in the tavern.

In this kind of thing, it still depends on whose fist is bigger and harder!

The two men finished the ritual scolding, and then urged each other to return their horses to their formations.

Luo Ming thought about killing him directly, but this was contrary to the current popular etiquette of the nobles, and he came out this time to make a name, not to make a stink of his reputation.

However, after this ceremonial meeting, when it comes to the official engagement, there is no need to care so much.

Before Luo Ming stepped forward to scold, he had already arranged for his subordinates to prepare artillery, and when he returned to the front of the formation, he received a report.

Three Meiquan one-type mountain cannons, as well as six tiger squat cannons, are all fully loaded, and they can shoot as long as they give an order.

As a swordsman, Luo Ming's eyesight was far beyond that of mortals, and he could easily judge the distance between the two armies—only one hundred and sixty meters.

Of course, even if an ordinary bow and arrow is thrown, it will definitely not reach a distance of one hundred and sixty meters, and even if it does, it will not have much lethality, so in the eyes of the other party, this distance must be quite safe.

Well, Lockin's artillery is a long-range attack weapon designed to deal with these self-righteous guys.

Luo Ming had personally tested ten shots, and at such close range, he was completely able to hit a target of 200 people.

In particular, in order to form a deterrent, the opponent also made the soldiers relatively lined up, similar to a horizontal formation, so from the gunner's point of view, the area that could be attacked was larger.

He sneered and gave out a few indicators, and the gunners adjusted the angle of the guns.

It's still a little clumsy, but it's more than enough for this level of combat.

"Then, the first live ammunition, test firing, the whole army pays attention!"

As he spoke, Luo Ming waved his hand, and a fire rope was ignited, and it didn't take long for the hundreds of kilograms of heavy metal to retreat as if it had been kicked, and a thunderous sound echoed across the battlefield.

With a gust of wind and dispersed smoke, the heavy iron ball slashed a distance of one hundred and forty-six meters and smashed into the empty ground.

However, its kinetic energy was far from exhausted, and it bounced again, falling and bouncing...... It's like a drift from a master.

However, now it is a heavy iron ball that jumps forward like a stone in the water, and it is no longer a child's game.

Before its kinetic energy ran out, it bounced up for the last time, and when it landed, it "tripped" a person.

No, it wasn't just a trip, even if the ball couldn't bounce at the end, the remaining speed was enough to crush the unlucky man's ankle, and he immediately fell to the ground, howling.

Seeing this, Luo Ming immediately gave the order, and the first gun immediately began to be cleaned and cooled, and the second gun was slightly adjusted to the angle, and then fired again.

This time, the shells fell less than ten meters from the opponent's position.

In a leaping forward, the cannonball scattered a sawdust from a horse and rolled into the crowd.

A terrible scream was only halfway out before it was stuck in his throat and would never be finished...... The guy who first ate the cannon had a huge hole the size of a palm in his side ribs, his face was pale, his breathing stopped, and he fell directly to the ground on his back, and it seemed that his heart and lungs had been destroyed by the shock wave.

Then the cannonball broke another arm, and the section was as thin as if it had been gnawed by the teeth of a wild beast, and blood spurted out.

The hapless young man waved his broken arm in panic, as if to dispel the pain or escape the reality of becoming disabled, but the only result was blood splattering everywhere and on several people.

"Not bad, then, the third shot!"

At the same time as Luo Ming gave the order, Durand on the opposite side also began to roar.

He knew that his original plan to wait for work had been lost, but if he retreated like this, it would only be that he had lost a few people in vain, and the other party would be unscathed.

Onlookers will not carefully understand what kind of force Luo Ming has used, they will only look at the outcome of the battle with cynicism.

No one on the other side was injured, and his side retreated with only single-digit casualties, and a coward's hat would be completely buckled on his head.

Well, it's better to charge - whether it's magic or some kind of siege weapon, the accuracy will always drop when dealing with a moving target.

If you rush to the opponent's front of the battle and engage in close combat, even if you can't win the battle in the end, at least you can cause a lot of casualties on the other side, and it will be easy to go back when the time comes.

As for the loss of soldiers...... It's all because of helping Lord County Guard deal with Luo Ming, and then Lord County Master will definitely have corresponding compensation and rewards, which is almost enough.

"We can't just be beaten like this, let's rush up and follow me!"

Roaring, he arranged for a few soldiers to serve as overseers in the rear, and then he himself led a large army across the trench, through the gap between the rejection of horses and deer, and marched forward quickly.

"It's a bit of courage, but all I can say is regret. ”

Luo Ming's army had limited archers, and even if he shot with all his might, it would be difficult to inflict much damage in the short time that the enemy was charging.

But he also has artillery.

The third cannon smashed into the center of the enemy array, causing the three men to fall.

After a while, the first gun was almost cooled...... It can't be said to be completely cooled either, but firing again is still not a big problem.

"Shotgun loading, prepare—"

When there were still eighty meters away from Luo Ming's array, dozens of lead pellets hit the front of the enemy, and this cannon made five people fall.

But the morale of the other party has not decayed, at least, not too much.

After all, the total distance of one hundred and sixty meters has already been crossed in half, and it will soon be possible to enter the stage of hand-to-hand combat, turning long-range weapons into waste!

At a distance of forty meters, Durand let out a loud shout and urged the horses under his crotch, and then his men began to run - to run over this distance, to smash the enemy array with the greatest momentum!
