Chapter 111: Thunder (2)

The sudden attack made Wesley stunned on the spot, and the nobles who were frightened behind him also panicked.

The black orc cavalry was extremely fast, and the rune war knife in his hand cut the front army like chopping melons and vegetables, and at this time, the only thing that a slightly capable officer dared to meet him was a few cold war spears.

The bloodied cavalry slaughtered in all directions, and the front army soon collapsed, and the huge contrast made the remaining warriors completely discouraged.

Horses in all directions, smoke and dust.

A large number of enemies swooped down from the hills behind, and the blue and white crosses on the banner were the infantry of the Talissu family, known as the "moving iron wall".

The ancestors of the Talissu family made a fortune with their military exploits, and most of the children of the family were army generals, but unlike the violet cavalry with a strong knightly atmosphere, their family was good at infantry.

In the recent Northern War, the infantry of the Talissu family showed good military strength, and the two infantry legions forced Vitan and a main mixed army to a desperate situation.

In the past, in the era of William Parrs, in the Northwest War, in addition to the cavalry going abroad to plunder, the Talissu family served as the "gatekeeper" of the eastern plains.

Seeing the arrival of enemy reinforcements, Goss, the moa commander of the Enraged Knight, slashed a well-behaved officer with a single sword, he reined in his horse, shook off the blood from his sword, and shouted, "Withdraw!"

"The enemy is pressing up!"

Goss was a strong orc, he waved at the other cavalrymen, gave a few snorts, turned away, and kicked up a cloud of dust, and the furious knights who came and went hurriedly killed only to leave the enemy with an arrogant back.

With Wes Pars' gritted teeth, the furious knights quickly disappeared from view.

"This damn Dick fat man?!Is this my dismount?!Give me a rearmament, let's go to Balatan!When I get a foothold, I'm going to chop that Dick alive!"

Wes was annoyed, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, and had just arrived in the south, and he thought it was Dick who had given him a blow.

Looking at the pale faces of the nobles and young masters whose legs were still swinging, Weiss was annoyed again, the enemy was only a thousand people, relying on the maneuver of the cavalry to catch them off guard, this time the assault came down, they lost three or four thousand people.

Unsuccessful.

Weiss also realized that the group of young masters under his command were not the material to lead the troops at all, and the problem was that these private troops were largely only under the orders of the family young masters. Thinking of this, Weiss's face became gloomy again, and he realized that after occupying Balatan, the first thing he did was to reorganize the army, and first controlling the military power was the foundation of his life.

After a surprise attack, looking at the plains of Balatan, the crowd became a little noisy.

As the army all crossed the Balatan hills, the spread of the 10,000-strong army was still very strong, and on the plain in front of Balatan, it looked like a black patch, with the moving human heads and the blades that exuded a ghostly light, giving people a great sense of oppression.

When the army arrived at the city of Baratan, the soldiers in front could even see the flying banner of Balatan.

"Woo, woo, woo!"

With the sound of a loud trumpet, the gates of Balatan burst open, and countless soldiers rushed out of the city, all of whom held spears glittering with runic power in their hands, and rushed towards the Wess army like a stormy wave.

Behind the spearmen, the orc man with a double-sided battle axe followed, followed by other troops.

According to rough statistics, the number of troops rushing out of the town is about 8,000.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Seeing this scene, the front army composed of the main force of the infantry led by Budos of the Talissu family shouted loudly, the general of the Talissu family, who had participated in the Northern Campaign and had sufficient combat experience, he quickly organized his soldiers.

Here you can see the difference between the soldiers of the Talissu family and the other soldiers.

The Talissu infantry held the weapons in their hands, full of energy, and in the face of the attacking enemy, they held a large shield in their left hand and a spear in their right hand in front, just like the warriors of ancient Greece, full of fighting spirit. Although the other soldiers maintained a formation in front of them, their faces were very ugly, and there was a look of panic, and these soldiers estimated that as long as they experienced another big defeat, the psychological defense line would be broken in an instant.

"The enemy is only a few thousand, while the enemy formation has not yet expanded, rush forward for me!"

Budos drew his long sword, shouted, and immediately took the lead, and the Talis Su infantry put on an attack posture and pressed steadily, and under their leadership, the other soldiers were also gradually pressing the formation.

From the sky, more than 8,000 orc soldiers rushed to the enemy's front army, but the orc side responded in a hurry, and the formation was relatively scattered, which looked very disadvantaged.

Rear.

On the walls of Baratan, an orc general looked at the approaching enemy and ordered with a sneer.

"Cannon!"

“...... Rack loaded!"

"Core Reload!"

“...... Loaded!"

"Fire!"

Boom! Boom!

Not the crisp explosion of cannons, but the dull roar of the earth, dozens or hundreds of hardened cannons of that kind were erected at the head of the city.

The main body of that rune cannon is a pitch-black cannon barrel, the cannon barrel is about two meters long, and there is a dark black rune pattern on it, and the cannon barrel made by the secret steel tempered by the dwarves is extremely strong after attaching the runes, and under the dark black rune pattern, there are green gem fragments, these are a method of stabilizing the rune cannon introduced in Wang Xiaotian's "Rune Cannon Production and Materials", borrowing special enchanted gems to stabilize the energy of the rune cannon.

This cannon was named "Burst Cannon Change" by Wang Xiaotian.

It is an improved version of the Rune Cannon that combines the existing forms, techniques, and materials of the Alliance, which is more powerful than the portable cannon, but weakens its portability, and often requires more than three gunners to cooperate with the attack.

The huge roar of artillery fire surprised Budos Talissu, and the Talissu infantry galloping at the front suffered heavy losses for a while. And with the heavy losses of the Talissu infantry, some of the soldiers behind simply dropped those expensive and sophisticated weapons with pale faces and ran back in a swarm.

"Raise your shield! Raise your shield! The front army evades the enemy's magic cannon! The second column throws a spear!

Budos shouted hoarsely, and just now a cannon fire exploded not far behind him, and he left to stabilize again. The casualties caused by artillery fire of this scale were actually small, mainly because there were only a hundred bursting guns at the head of the city, and it took time to fill.

The most deadly thing is that the artillery fire caused confusion in the formation, and the rout began to appear in the back, and the enemy's spear vanguard not far in front of the Talissu infantry was already approaching, once the battle was fought, the rune cannon was bound to be unable to be used anymore, Budos was worried that his infantry would not be able to withstand the first round of impact, so the first thing he did when he stood up was to stabilize the formation in front.
