Chapter 630: The Power of Cannons
"According to the interrogation of the nobleman who had just been caught, several groups of rebels had already gathered. If we let them continue to run rampant, our supply situation will deteriorate further, and the morale of our servants will be shaken. ”
Vytautas said in a sincere tone, "And I have to sit here, make sure that there are no accidents, and if the Schönbrunn people do anything next, I will find a way to deal with it." As for dealing with the rebels, it's all up to you!"
No matter what, Vytautas is also the strongest of the four army leaders of Beran today, and no one is embarrassed to refuse when he puts on this attitude again.
"Wait and see! even those little trash fish want to rebel, I'll screw their heads off and bring them to you!"
"It's better to be careful. ”
"They're not Schönbrunn soldiers!"
In this way, the three army leaders embarked on the journey.
"Commander, our brethren seem to have been discovered!" reported a light cavalryman, returning from a distance.
Williser's face was pale, and he immediately said, "Take me to the highlands!"
He followed the hussars to the high ground with a few cronies, and looked at the rebels in the distance, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's all right," he said, "and it's a rabble like this, even if you have to be on guard. ”
He immediately ordered the whole army to advance, and since the other side was already prepared, he would not make any surprise attacks, and just press over in a dignified manner.
Three hundred and seventy-nine horsemen marched forward slowly, and at first glance a dense patch of men and horses pressed over the horizon, rolling up dust, as if the sun was setting and the night was about to swallow the world.
The group of rebels who were blocked by them actually numbered more than 200 people, but most of them were infantry, and they were not the well-trained infantry under Luo Ming, so some people were already panicked for a while.
Of course, their commanders are also of some level, and a series of orders have been given in advance to deal with them.
They piled all the wooden carts that carried the baggage outside, and then made the soldiers densely form a circle, and the outermost soldiers stood with shields to protect the soldiers inside.
The advantages of this formation are many, firstly, it is much simpler than the requirements of the spear phalanx, secondly, it can strengthen the defense despite the basic loss of mobility, and finally, it also gives the soldiers a sense of security in the presence of the crowd and makes it much more difficult for them to escape.
That's right, part of the strength of this formation is to prevent the soldiers from escaping - after all, the good and bad of this force are mixed, and the morale and courage of some soldiers are very questionable, and if a few people run first, there will be a chain reaction that will break the morale of a large number of people.
The people of Beilan slowly approached a hundred meters away, looking at such a shrinking formation, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It's been so long, and we've finally encountered a battle where the other side is afraid of us!
Some time ago, every battle was beaten by the Meiquan people, and the Meiquan people built a small stronghold in front of the Belan defense line and stuffed hundreds of people, but no one in the whole army of Beran dared to go out and pull out this nail, which was really aggrieved, making them all a little suspicious of life.
Now, at last, they met the "normal situation", and their faces all glowed, and Williser was even in a happy mood, and couldn't help humming his hometown tune.
After a snort, several cronies began to applaud, and he had already roughly figured out how to deal with these enemies.
It didn't take long for the Beran cavalry to split into three teams and take turns rushing towards the opposite circle.
Of course, they didn't really intend to charge directly into battle like this - even if the opposite side was not a phalanx of spears, but a circle of rabble, but the enemy army was at least closely aligned, and the cavalry would encounter a lot of resistance when they collided, causing some unnecessary casualties.
The first wave of cavalry, armed with sabers and spears, rushed to the front of the circle, and found that there was a slight commotion in the enemy army, but there was still no obvious distraction.
This circle and the several baggage carts surrounding it did have a certain binding force, and it seemed that a few guys who looked like nobles were also shouting to maintain morale.
The cavalry turned their horses' heads and swept over the edge of the circle without crashing in.
When the second wave of cavalry saw this, they put away their sabers and spears, and then drew their riding bows.
Yes, there is a big gap between the riding bow and the starting bow, but there are less than thirty infantry bows in the opposite circle, which is completely unable to suppress the riding fire of the Beran people.
After one round of firing, the second wave of cavalry also turned their horses and left, and the third wave of cavalry rushed in and fired another round.
The three waves had passed, and it looked like they should be able to breathe a sigh of relief, but the original first wave of cavalry made a big circle and returned to their original position, and they also put away their swords, spears and other melee weapons, and took out their riding bows to continue shooting.
By the second round, there were already dozens of dead and wounded in the circle, and some soldiers had really started to flee - but they were cut down before they could run five steps.
But even if you use the Overseer to cut down the deserters, it won't be able to support it for long......
It is estimated that after another round, the panic of the soldiers will accumulate to the limit, and then explode, drowning that little bit of the Overseer and the nobles like a flood.
Of course, the infantry after the rout lost their formation, and it was impossible to run faster than the horses, which would only make the Beran cavalry easier and more enjoyable, but in the face of such a danger to their lives, the sanity of ordinary people had long been blown away, and it was impossible to hold on.
The other side was already a little scattered, and seeing this familiar reaction, Williser couldn't help but laugh.
Next, let's make the final decision -
The two teams of cavalry were still harassing the enemy on horseback, while the last team was slightly more distanced, and as they formed a group, they changed their weapons.
"Oh no!" The commander in the circle saw the movement of the Belan army in the distance, gritted his teeth fiercely, and then joined the front line with the few remaining guards around him, holding ordinary spears, facing that direction.
Although he made the last bit of effort, intellectually he already knew that he would not be able to survive this hurdle......
The third team of the Beran Army trotted up, the speed was not fast, at first even people could catch up with all their strength, but this speed gradually increased, and the kinetic energy accumulated, and soon reached an extremely high level!
It is simply impossible for a group of rabble to withstand such an impact when the formation is scattered!
However, at this moment, three roaring sounds like thunder suddenly sounded from the side of the battlefield!
"It's Viscount Schönbrunn!"
Different people shouted this sentence in different accents, and it also contained hope and panic respectively. Before the shells arrived, the sound of the cannons alone had triggered a series of reactions on the entire battlefield, and this is Luo Ming's majesty now!
