Chapter 267: Nord: The Great Lord will use the fire of purgatory to burn everything!
The sudden change in the situation made Raeder, Hamm and the others stunned, they could not see the scene of the cannon fire in the valley, they could only hear the continuous artillery fire, but they saw every move of the musketeer team clearly.
The men simply stood in front of them what resembled a long stick, pressed it on a small pull ring, and a burst of fire erupted with a loud bang, and the fierce cavalrymen fell off their horses one by one.
"Lord Lynn, what kind of weapon is this? Is it the power of magic? Raeder asked curiously.
"No, it should be said that this is the power of technology!" Lynn said with a smile.
"Technology?" Reddell paused, a blank expression.
"Not bad!" Lynn nodded, "Actually, to put it bluntly, whether it's a musket or an artillery, in the final analysis, it's just a matter of throwing stones with more force!" ”
Hamm's expression became very strange, and he felt that this adult who appeared mysteriously must be joking, how could such a powerful and terrifying weapon be associated with throwing stones.
Philip and the others also had a smile on their faces, but they couldn't refute Lynn's words, after all, what the other party said was not wrong, the principle of the musket is to use the impact of flames and explosions to throw stones!
"Well, do you see what's coming?" Lynn straightened up and asked.
"The number of musketeers is still too small, and if the cavalry hadn't retreated, they might have rushed over......," Orlando said in a deep voice.
The effective range of the flintlock pistol is only about eighty or ninety meters, which is a matter of charge for the cavalry, and if it were not for the double deterrence of artillery and muskets to make those people lose their courage, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of casualties.
"The rate of fire is the biggest drawback of this thing, if only it could be loaded with two or even three projectiles at once!" Orlando said with emotion.
Philip shook his head, he thought that this flintlock pistol was already a perfect creation, and if he could fire more, wouldn't that skilled gunner be more powerful than many wizard apprentices or even a ring wizard.
……
"Don't panic, the believers of those evil gods will not be rampant for long, the great Lord of the stars is watching us in the evils of the kingdom of God, and those who fight bravely and die will be in the kingdom of the Lord, and will gain eternal glory......"
On the other side of the battlefield, Grand Duke Rickman shouted loudly, trying to maintain order in the legion, but his voice was faintly trembling, obviously not as calm as it seemed.
At this moment, Rickman is already difficult to ride a tiger.
Since this operation was related to the throne, when he gathered a large army to go south to fight, he reorganized the troops with the mentality of fighting the lion and the rabbit with all his strength, not only bringing a group of nobles' personal soldiers, but even a cavalry team of 2,000 people.
Such a force is more than enough to deal with a small mine slave rebellion, even as the main force to conquer a kingdom!
Who would have thought that thousands of well-trained regular troops armed with strange weapons suddenly popped up among those ragged miners, and their cavalry regiments were scattered, and even wizards were involved, bombarding them with magic......
The cavalry brigade, which fled in a hurry, finally managed to return to the queue, but it paid the price of nearly half of the dead and wounded.
Most of them died from muskets and artillery, but many fell from the trampling and fledging collisions of their teammates......
Seeing the tragic situation of these people, Joyce's forehead broke out in cold sweat, but fortunately, the reckless Johnson blocked it for him, otherwise he would be the one who died on the battlefield now.
But before Joyce could rejoice, Rickman grabbed him by the collar and said viciously. "Earl Joyce, is this what you told me about the Mine Slave Rebellion?"
With so many wizards and an army of thousands of men in the county at the same time, mingling with the rioting miners, it was impossible for Joyce, as a lord, to be unaware!
And now that I think about it, how could some unorganized miners just drive Joyce out of his territory, which is obviously the help of the believers of those evil gods behind it!
Joyce didn't even mention all this information, and Rickman couldn't help but wonder if the other party was a spy sent by the second prince, no wonder the one who sat firmly in the royal capital didn't look anxious at all.
One of the nobles present was also eager to kill Joyce alive on the spot.
Faced with the Grand Duke's questioning, Joyce was also speechless, after all, he really didn't know anything about the forces behind this group of miners.
"Now is not the time to ask for guilt, Rickman, find a way to end this battle first, and then slowly settle the ...... when you get back," Archbishop Nord said in a deep voice, and the priesthood behind him erected a strong divine barrier to block the incoming artillery fire.
But they obviously couldn't take care of every part of the battlefield, and could only shelter a small piece in the middle of the battlefield.
The sound of artillery fire continued, and Nord was also anxious, could it be that the magic of these wizards was unlimited?
Rickman pushed Joyce away in annoyance, and then calmed down a little and asked solemnly. "Bishop Nord, do you have a way to use divine magic to eliminate the wizards hiding in the valley?"
That's the key to breaking the game!
As for the musketeers with strange weapons? After the initial horror, Rickman quickly recognized one of the shortcomings of the weapon, which was that it had a range of less than 100 meters.
Once the cavalry brigade crossed this distance, their weapons could no longer break through the armor, and the musketeers would immediately stop firing.
The effective throwing distance of the longbow is about one hundred and thirty meters, and they can take advantage of the long-range projectile of the bow and arrow, and use the bow and arrow to return fire where the opponent can't hit it.
Then the heavy infantry with shields slowly advanced to attract the attention of these men, and the remaining thousand cavalry troops, flanking from both flanks, drove the miners, causing them to squeeze the musket team in the interior and interfere with their movements......
The battle-hardened Rickman was undoubtedly sharp, and after calming down, he quickly thought of a way to deal with it, but the most important problem was to stop the round bullets that kept flying from the valley, otherwise their longbowmen would not be able to stand at all.
Nord pondered what kind of magic could span hundreds of meters and still retain enough power.
"We can beg the great Lord to bring down the Last Judgment and burn everything with the fire of eternal purgatory, but ...... We need some time to gain the mercy of the Lord! Nord said slowly.
