Chapter 238: Goblin Cavalry Charge
Although the wolf cavalry and the wild boar cavalry were not as swift as those camel cavalry, the thousands of people ran with great momentum.
Little Ivan was already a musketeer at this time, standing around the large phalanx, nervously watching the surging enemy cavalry.
"What to do?
As the son of Adair, he was very brave, but he couldn't help but be nervous when he participated in such a great battle.
At this moment, a big hand slapped him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it turned out to be his father.
Although Adair could stay in the rear as a high priest, he still carried his musket to the front line, and as a warrior, he preferred to prove his existence with his bravery.
"Ivan, don't be afraid, think about how I taught you, steady. ”
Adair comforted his son as he raised his musket.
At this moment, Grant shouted: "All have, the salvo is placed on five, ready!"
Soon, the officers of all ranks passed on the order, and the goblins raised their muskets as they adjusted the salvomer.
Gripping the musket tightly, little Ivan's mood stabilized, and he had no fear in the face of the huge shock.
On the goblin side, General Sander rode a boar and waved to the herald, who raised the command flag.
More than a hundred cyclops saw the flag waving and immediately began to release their magic, and the land in front of them soon turned into huge stone balls.
"Shelling!"
"Watch out for the stone balls!"
In a few moments, the eagles of Ebert Tsoft rained down on the goblin army from the sky and the cyclops from afar.
With a loud bang, the stone balls were stopped in the air by a layer of transparent substance.
Looking at the sky like water ripples, Krehack scolded angrily: "Magic Array!"
At this time, the new princess Vena also arrived in the center of the large array, and she shouted to the cyclops in the distance: "Cannon!
Boom, nearly 100 artillery pieces of all kinds began a fierce artillery battle under the control of the mechanical puppet.
"Bastard, the enemy also has a defensive magic array!"
Seeing that the enemy's sky was also rippling, and whether it was a bronze ball or a magic light pillar on his side, Sun Licheng said viciously.
"Your Excellency Solomon, the defensive magic array scroll you brought is really useful. ”
Krehack watched with interest as the bronze projectiles and pillars of magic light were blocked by his own side of the defenses, and he couldn't help but thank Solomon.
"Hehe, this is a gift from our Majesty, and it can also help you capture Sun Licheng as soon as possible, Marshal. ”
Solomon sat on the back of the earthwalker and laughed.
This time, Solomon brought many magic scrolls, which were given by His Majesty the God of Troubadours and Thieves, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Goblin army.
The artillery battle between the two sides was consumed in the magical confrontation, and the Goblins' 3,000 cavalry came within range of the goblin muskets.
"Put!"
With Grant's order, thousands of muskets erupted at the same time.
A goblin wolf cavalry wearing chain mail and holding a cavalry shield screamed strangely while wielding a battle axe, but at this moment, he felt that he had been hit by a large rock, spat blood from his mouth, and fell from the wolf's back, and the gray wolf under him also howled, and his right front leg twisted strangely and rolled to the ground.
"Good!"
Seeing that the goblin's cavalry battle formation seemed to have been gnawed off by a monster, Grant couldn't help but cheer.
The best way to deal with the cavalry charge is a machine gun, but Sun Licheng has not studied it until now, especially copper-shelled bullets, which are definitely high-tech.
In this case, Sun Licheng thought of a salvo. Before the popularization of machine guns, this kind of thing was the basic equipment of the rifle, and it was very simple to make, only a small card shoot was installed on the handguard of the rifle, and the soldiers used something to aim when shooting, and they did not pursue accuracy, as long as they were fired together.
Unexpectedly, the power of a salvo of a thousand muskets was so great that nearly two hundred goblin cavalry disappeared.
In such a high-speed movement, as long as you fall off your mount, you will definitely not survive, and you will inevitably be trampled to death by your companions rushing behind you.
Of course, for more than 3,000 cavalrymen, the casualties of 200 people did not make them flinch, their expressions were even more hideous, and in order to survive, they would also rush towards the enemy with all their might.
"Shoot!"
At this moment, the second volley arrived, and immediately, the goblin's cavalry array was like a hammer, and the sharp formation hair tips were hammered down in a large chunk.
But the cavalry went crazy, and they were getting faster and faster.
By the time the third salvo was completed, more than two thousand five hundred cavalry rushed to the goblin phalanx.
At this time, the goblin cavalry at the front was surprised to find that the goblin musketeers had run into the large array, and another group of barbarians came out of the large array with some thick iron pipes, and then these thick iron pipes exploded.
"Ahh
With a terrible scream, the cavalryman seemed to have suffered a rain of iron, and the iron armor on his body, which had made him proud, became like a piece of paper, and by the time the cannon was over, he and his beloved gray wolf had fallen to the ground.
This is a small cannon made by Sun Li as a goblin, referring to the mountain splitting cannon of the Hunan army back then, which is simple to make and has a short range, but it can shoot scattered bullets, which is much better than a musket.
The Goblin Cavalry was met with a head-on attack in front of the large formation, and their speed immediately slowed down, and when they tried to charge again, they were already surrounded by a dense array of spears and swords.
Although the gray wolf is braver than the horse, he will not make a fool of his head to attack the steel jungle, let alone the wild boar.
The goblin cavalry was blocked on the periphery of the phalanx, but the goblin musketeers in the phalanx did not hesitate and immediately began to fire freely.
Although the Flower Rifle is far worse than the bolt-action rifle on Earth in all aspects, it is not slow, and in the hands of goblins, it can shoot four rounds per minute, and it is much more powerful than ordinary rifles.
The large projectile represents a powerful kinetic energy, and more than ten millimeters of lead bullet hits the flesh and blood, which is not much less powerful than the battering ram.
In a few moments, the goblin cavalry was defeated, leaving corpses all over the ground and fleeing in a hurry.
"Great, everyone hurry up and shoot, don't let them run!"
When Grant saw the rout of the cavalry, he immediately shouted excitedly.
In this way, the goblin cavalry continued to fall under the rain of goblins, and by the time they returned to the town, there were only about a thousand men left.
Seeing the cavalry with heavy casualties, the goblin army couldn't help but gasp.
"Pass my order, the whole army will be pressed, even if you fill them with people, I will also crush them!"
Crehack gritted his teeth and commanded fiercely.
"Your Excellency Solomon, I will leave it to you. ”
When the herald had gone down, the commander turned to Solomon.
"No problem, I'll go and prepare. ”
Solomon nodded, and as soon as he pulled the reins of the beast, he ran to the rear of the great array.
"It seems that the enemy is about to attack in full force. Sun Licheng couldn't help but muttering to himself when he heard the sound of the horn coming from the goblin's side.
But then he said to Caroline, "Take out our trump card, and we'll greet them well." ”
