The dense network of firepower gave the Crusaders terrifying damage, but in the end, it could not stop the Crusaders from advancing.

Soon, the Crusader strikers rushed to within fifty paces of the first line of defense!

Fifty paces was the best range for muskets, and a volley of guns could knock out a single enemy army, but to no avail, the Crusader warriors had already used the corpses of their comrades as shields to resist the muskets.

Soon the musketeers of the first line of defense will be able to see the eyebrows and beards of the enemy soldiers clearly, and they will be close to each other, and they will be on the verge of fire!

"Get on the bayonet!" As soon as the military ordered, thousands of soldiers of the expeditionary force guarding the first line of defense drew their bayonets and put them on top of their muskets.

"For the glory of the Empire, kill!"

Thousands of musketeers jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the crusaders.

"Thirty steps! Twenty steps! ”

"Grenade!" At the order, tens of thousands of grenades slashed through the sky and smashed into the dense crowd of enemy troops!

The whole battlefield was exploding and trembling, tens of thousands of grenades fell into the dense crowd, causing unimaginable lethality......

At this time, thousands of soldiers from the first line of defense on both flanks of the expeditionary force had already entered the encirclement with muskets!

The cold light of the swords and guns, the not too dense gunfire, reverberated back and forth in the crusaders, and the ants bit the elephants to death, and soon the soldiers of the expeditionary force who were heavily surrounded fell one after another, although they died in battle, but they were glorious enough!

Both sides have already killed red eyes, hundreds of bed crossbows have fallen apart with high-intensity firing, and almost every time a round is shot, there will be dozens of bed crossbows that are difficult to use.

After dozens of rounds of shelling, the barrel of the artillery has already turned red, and when it is poured with prepared cold water, white smoke will immediately rise.

"Your Majesty, the artillery is already embarrassed, at most three rounds, the artillery will explode in large numbers!" As the most faithful reporter of the battlefield situation, Wei Bin earnestly performed his duties.

"The first round of defense has been breached." Zhu Houzhao pinched the handle of the knife and said in a deep voice.

The expeditionary force has a total of five lines of defense, according to the offensive of the crusaders, if there is no strong firepower to suppress, they will all be broken through before dusk, and then tens of thousands of expeditionary forces will not be able to stop the surging crusaders even if they are elite!

"Spread my military order! Reloaded! Counter charge! ”

"Whoa!"

The 15,000 hoplites came from the Huben Battalion of the Shence Army, but the speed of the Great Ming Fire Weapon was developing too fast, as if it was a posture to eliminate cold weapons, so when the expeditionary force was established, Zhu Houzhao, who liked cold weapons to fight, unceremoniously asked for this 15,000 hoplites.

But even in the European battlefield, the hoplites are still useless, but Zhu Houzhao never thought that this fifteen-thousand-armed predator with a big waist would become a chicken rib!

Now on this battlefield, he wants to build a great wall of steel for the army with hoplites!

He needs hoplites to stall for him, enough time, at least until dark!

The hoplites who received the military order immediately divided into three groups, and dragged their armor across the defense line at the fastest speed, until they reached a hundred steps in front of the second line of defense, and then all the hoplites stopped, took off all the weight on their bodies, and then put on the armor weighing seventy pounds!

A Mo knife flashed in the sunlight with a dazzling cold light!

Your Majesty has said that the heavy armored infantry wearing heavy armor and holding a Mo knife is a meat grinder on the battlefield, but any enemy who dares to stand in front of the heavy infantry will be defeated if they leave a whole corpse after the confrontation!

This is the creed that all hoplites adhere to, but for a few years...... They had never had a chance to test their combat prowess, and now their chance had come, and the battlefield in front of them was the Flesh Mill that would test their blades!

Fifteen thousand warriors were wearing armor, and their whole bodies, including their heads, were wrapped in thick steel armor, and the armor was a hideous beast with fangs, and just looking at it made people feel cold.

"Hoplites, I'm invincible!" I don't know who shouted first, and suddenly fifteen thousand armor soldiers shouted in unison, and then shouted while marching towards the first line of defense that was broken through!

The musketeers of the second line of defense jumped out of the trenches behind the heavy armor and rushed forward!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The clash of cold weapons unfolded in an instant, and the Crusaders' spearmen stabbed the armor of the heavy armor without any penetrating power, and the swords slashed on the armor and could only bring up a string of sparks.

And at this time, the heavy armor soldier at the front raised his Mo sword.

Split!

This action has been practiced by any heavy armor soldier dozens or millions of times, and it can even be said that they do not have a second action!

The sharp Mo knife sliced through the leather armor of the crusaders like slicing tofu, but any enemy who stood in front of the heavy armor soldiers, only one knife was needed!

There is only one knife, and after a knife, the body is two halves!

If the previous long-range shooting and melee combat were tragic, turning this battlefield into a Senluo Palace, then the battlefield at this moment is a real hell!

With a single sword, hundreds of crusaders were smashed, and various organs in their chests and abdomen flowed to the ground, and the musketeers who followed the heavy armor soldiers to support them at any time saw this scene......

This is a group of evil ghosts who should live in the sea of corpses and blood!

Chop! Hack again! Keep chopping! One step forward is a knife! If there is an enemy in front of you, it is a knife!

One side of 5,000 heavy armored soldiers was stunned to use the simplest chopping tactics to push 300 steps horizontally!

There were broken corpses within 300 paces, and the crusaders who were shot by the musketeers who followed behind were considered to have been favored by the Lord to avoid the end of being shattered!

Killing, not slaughter, is real killing, heavy armor is a humanoid tank on the battlefield, no matter how many enemy troops there are, they can't delay the pace of half a minute of heavy armor.

The easiest way to inflict damage on heavy armoured soldiers is to use blunt weapons, such as heavy hammers, plate axes, etc., but the Crusaders have studied the tactics of the expeditionary force for a long time, and they have always been on guard against the firearms of the expeditionary force, and even formulated a strategy of consuming enemy firepower at the cost of human lives, and after breaking through at the cost of casualties, they will start a white-knuckle battle.

But not the hoplites!

This mistake caused the Crusaders to be instantly disrupted when they were suddenly struck by such a blow, and no matter what kind of enemy would be terrified in the face of this group of iron-blooded butchers who were about to reap their lives with their swords raised.

"This group of Eastern heretics is the embodiment of Satan, who sowed the seeds of evil to the East, and let the demons of the East invade Western Europe, in order to sink the Lord into the abyss of darkness!"

Charles V's face turned blue......

In half a day, the Western European coalition army had already suffered heavy casualties, although it had also killed many Eastern heretics, but the price was ...... The cost is too great to bear!
