Chapter 312: Desperate Charge (Part II)

【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.

By the time Durand led the assault, there was only less than seventy meters left.

Crossing this distance is only ten seconds, which is not much longer even on a battlefield where life and death are instantaneous.

But, that's at least enough to do one thing.

Lockin gave Oss the task of commanding the soldiers, and he drew his slender two-handed sword.

At the tip of the sword, a little flame ignited.

I saw him swing his sword, and this Cangyan turned into six sparks and landed on the fire rope of the six tiger squatting cannons.

This crude arquebus, naturally, does not burn as fast, but it is still within the same time frame for the whole.

For about two seconds, all of the Tiger Squat Cannon let out their respective roars, projecting hundreds of lead pellets forward at a rate of fire comparable to that of a crossbow.

Although it is a little sparse, it can barely be regarded as a barrage for an enemy army of less than two hundred people!

Within two seconds, the people who rushed to the front burst into a blood mist and fell down in almost a row, adding up to more than a dozen people.

Although a few more people did not fall, they involuntarily stopped, covered their wounds, and began to scream.

At this moment, I don't know how many people were splashed with the blood of their companions, and how many people heard the wails of their companions in their ears.

And Durand also wailed, and the war horse under his seat fell directly to the ground, and he himself did not move after falling to the ground.

It can be said that although the time is short, the enemy soldiers are indeed at a loss at this moment.

Luo Ming's side naturally would not let go of this good opportunity, and with Os's order, the soldiers raised their spears and stepped forward with the roar of the junior officers.

"Kill ——!!!"

Sen Han's spear array crushed it like a landslide.

On this side, it is to wait for work, and on the other side, it is to charge with physical strength and be bombarded by artillery at the same time, the life and death of the main general are uncertain, and the morale is greatly weakened, how can it not be defeated?

If one person retreats, it will trigger a chain reaction of more people, and even a few soldiers who were originally in the overseer team were frightened by the artillery fire just now.

Next, it was almost the process of chasing ducks, and the so-called captives were captured all over the mountains, except that the number of enemy troops was not enough, it was almost exactly the same scene.

Fifteen minutes later, Luo Ming gathered his team and counted the results.

Of the 52 killed or seriously wounded in the enemy's ranks, 32 were wounded by artillery fire and 89 were taken prisoner, and the remainder are estimated to have escaped.

In addition to the usual seizures - military rations and ordnance, etc., a small catapult and two engineers operating it were also captured.

This thing was supposed to be used for defensive warfare, and it could throw dozens of pieces of gravel weighing a total of several kilograms twenty or thirty steps away, smash them down and hurt people, and it was really a big threat in a regular battle.

Of course, it is more likely that the equipment that was placed in the city to defend the city was pulled out of the field battle, and finally fell into his hands without a chance to play in front of Luo Ming's artillery.

And on Luo Ming's side, none of them died. One of the two most seriously injured was stabbed in the arm, and the other slipped and broke his leg while pursuing the captive.

Sure enough, beating a demoralized army was a very easy and pleasant thing to do.

Durand became the most honorable prisoner in Luo Ming's hands, should it be said that he was lucky or unlucky? This person's cultivation is still good, although he has not reached the sword master, he is also a good senior swordsman, and he is wearing armor, but he was not directly killed by the shotgun.

There was a huge depression in his cuirass in which completely deformed buckshot was embedded and barely penetrated, but it was this that saved his life.

In addition, his arm was grazed by lead bullets, but it did not hurt the arteries.

But his horse was killed on the spot and he fell off his horse, which was his most serious injury. Although his life was fine, his head was bleeding and he was still fainting.

Luo Ming personally interrogated several petty officers in leather armor and understood the reason for the battle.

This Luntingburgh Baron Durant was originally a low-ranking nobleman who was sealed in Randingburg by the Earl of Conler Hill and stationed him in this strategic place.

However, the barons of this generation are not willing to be lonely and always want to be in the limelight and make meritorious contributions.

Hearing that Luo Ming actually dared to send troops to rescue the Baron of Raven Ridge, whom Lord Earl hated, he naturally couldn't wait to jump out and make meritorious contributions.

Of course, before sending troops, he had already passed the news to the count himself.

In other words, even if he is really incompetent and can't stop Luo Ming, the Earl will get the news in time.

No one knows if the Earl will immediately send troops to surround Luo Ming, the provocateur.

No one but himself can say anything about it.

And these captives captured by Luo Ming are troublesome, and it is impossible to kill them all.

Killing monsters is still his honor, and killing enemies can barely be regarded as martial arts, but now these captives are simply from the Duchy of Lothar, and the two sides can't be called a formal war, it's just an "armed friction", an internal conflict, and if you kill them, your reputation will be stinky.

And even if they were all released and left with their own troops, they would have to walk for more than a day to return to the territory - since they could not march in the middle of the night, they had to rest for a night.

With so much time, if the Count was really angry, it would be enough for him to send his troops to kill him.

If you go back directly, you may be attacked halfway or chased by the tail, which is naturally not safe enough.

Based on the available information, Luo Ming quickly came up with a simple solution.

"Sons, the Baron of Landingburgh, regardless of his dignity as a nobleman, actually blocked the road and robbed, how can we let him go so easily?

Tonight, we'll go to his house in Randingburgh and eat and drink as much as we want!"

Luo Ming directly defined the other party's sex with one mouth, and then said slightly inflammatory words, and suddenly, everyone began to get excited.

Eating other people's things is always not distressing, but also makes people feel happy from the heart.

Not to mention, in addition to eating and drinking spicy food, you can also grab some money in Landenburg, which can be regarded as the practice of soldiers in this era.

Even Luo Ming only set the rule that the spoils of war should not be hidden privately, and he would distribute them uniformly.

With this encouragement, the march was quickened a little.

The captives were also tied to ropes and dragged along with the mules and horses at the urging of the soldiers, on the one hand, to drain their physical strength to prevent escape or riot, and on the other hand, to speed up the journey.

Two hours later, Lockin led his army to Rantingburg. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
