Smoke and dust billowed from the right flank, and a large group of Beran cavalry detoured from the right flank, outflanking, and tried to surprise the artillery positions of the Loming army.

However, Luo Ming looked at these cavalrymen, but did not give any instructions, but just watched his officers meet the enemy according to the prior instructions.

With the development of Meiquan, Luo Ming could not personally do every battle and personally command every squad, and even now he was already facing the situation of lack of skills - if he hadn't really projected a doppelganger with the Eye of Secret Law, he would not dare to lead his troops to leave Meiquan now.

But the number of doppelgangers is naturally limited, and it is impossible to sprinkle doppelgangers everywhere, and the cost and maintenance costs of doppelgangers are actually very high, and they can only be used in the most critical occasions, otherwise it will be a loss.

As a ruler, he has always benefited from the operation of the system, so where can there be a ruler who has been operating at a loss for a long time by overturning the subsidy system from his own pocket? Then he is not called a ruler, he has become a real servant of the people -- it is hard to say whether Luo Ming's ideological consciousness is too good to pass, but he still does not want to do so at this stage.

Therefore, Luo Ming still attaches great importance to the training of officers, and expects them to be able to take charge of themselves in the future.

And now, it's an opportunity to train them.

It's not that they are improvised, it's just that they just carry out the original plan in an ordinary way, which is not difficult at all!

Unless something goes terribly wrong, he will never give orders for such a thing. This is the test of the right-wing soldiers.

Of course, Luo Ming didn't cram a lot of recruits into that kind of place to defend the artillery—that would be to send the soldiers and officers to death together. There are quite a few veterans there, and as long as they are handled properly, there is no problem.

Listening to the sound of artillery and smelling the smoke of gunpowder, Hermir was full of discomfort.

A true battle-hardened knight, he'd seen choking smoke from mages and seen fireballs blow people up. It's not surprising to him, he can quickly adapt or even ignore.

But the horses could not do this—his horses had heard a few loud noises of all kinds, which they could support, but they clearly did not like the smell of gunsmoke, and the horses of almost a third of his cavalry were already restless, and the formation could not be maintained to the optimum.

Of course, a well-trained war horse basically won't flip its owner to the ground or run away because of this emotional turmoil, but it is enough to cause a certain adverse effect.

As he approached the first artillery position, he realized that something was wrong.

Ordinary soldiers would be distraught in the face of cavalry charges, even if they did not break up, but the soldiers guarding the artillery position, which numbered less than two hundred, appeared very calm.

It's impossible to say they're not scared at all, but they're far from wavering, they're in a steady formation, they're determined – and they're not the kind of people who look at death in the face of a tough opponent.

This composure made Hemir feel a little uneasy in turn, and he immediately felt a pang of shame at his vacillation, but at the same time he raised his guard and shouted a slogan.

Suddenly, what appeared to be a large group of cavalry divided into two groups, one of which numbered about one hundred and fifty men, and while changing direction to the outside of the battlefield, they shot at the defenders with bows and crossbows in hand.

Hermir had already observed that there was not much proportion of crossbowmen in the Roman's army, and the only powerful long-range projectile weapon was artillery, but the artillery that fired solid shells was not much of a threat if it was approached, so he resorted to this move.

The accuracy of the cavalry was poor, and the lethality was less than that of the infantry shooting, but the one hundred and fifty arrows that shot into the defender's array still caused a dozen people to fall, causing a commotion.

Even if there is no fear, the defenders here are not numerous, and the spear formations that resist the cavalry are not thick enough, and if someone falls, someone must be replaced as soon as possible - there will inevitably be some confusion in the process!

Seeing this opportunity, Hermir shouted, raised his spear, and led the other two hundred and fifty cavalry to rush forward.

"Steady, steady...... Shoot!"

An officer clutched his wounded arm and roared in hatred, and then three cannons responded to his anger by spewing blazing hellfire!

The artillery itself is placed relatively high, and the area around it that can accommodate infantry defenses is dug a little lower, which allows the artillery to shoot shotguns over the heads of the infantry standing nearby!

Hermir felt a pain in her abdomen and couldn't help but "mumble", but she forced herself to endure the pain and turned her head slightly to look at the queue she led.

I don't know if I don't see it, but when I look at it, it almost makes him spurt blood - nine cavalrymen fell to the ground, six of them simply fell with men and horses, and several more men and horses did not fall, but there were also quite a few wounds on their bodies.

The corpses of men and horses together blocked the way of the rush, which could trip the cavalry, and the wounded men and horses would slow down, and the momentum that was almost brewing to the peak was dealt a blow to the head.

Three seconds later, the cavalry finally rushed to the defenders.

Generally speaking, in the face of a bright and dense forest of guns, the war horses will not take the initiative to collide, but at this moment, Luo Ming's soldiers are less than two hundred, which seems a little thin, and the Belan cavalry is also well-trained, and they try to take advantage of the chaos to break the formation, without slowing down at all - so, a fierce collision occurred!

The sound of spearheads piercing iron armor, the sound of flesh piercing, the sound of broken poles, the sound of sabers swinging, the sound of falling, the sound of horses' hooves, roars and neighings, all mingled at this moment.

The heavily armed knight in a single horse is almost no less than a cannonball, although the spear array in front of him is well-trained, but there are not enough people, it seems to be like using a tough cowhide to block the crossbow arrow, although it can buffer a few of its kinetic energy, but after a few milliseconds, it will still be shot through by the crossbow arrow.

But no matter how much he was attacked, the spear formation was not completely penetrated, and Hermir pulled away a piercing halberd with his mounted spear, turned his horse to the side, and ordered the cavalry to follow him out of contact with the spear formation.

No matter how great the impact of the unity of men and horses is, it is not as good as a real cannonball after all, once the impact of the first row of people and horses is exhausted, if you don't leave quickly, it will turn into an obstacle for the people in the second row behind you, and the assault of the unity of men and horses is not used to backstab your own people.

Once the cavalry has exhausted the momentum it has accumulated for a long time, it is a dead end to entangle with the infantry - or rather, the cavalry that loses its mobility may be solved by the infantry at a relatively small cost.

The infantrymen clearly understood this, and although they did not turn into a mass of scattered sand and chase after them, they also took three steps forward in a dense array of spears, and stabbed the two cavalrymen who did not flee fast enough.
