readx;?“ I can't think of it, I can't think of it at all, I can't think of it at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm really a genius!" the young general, at least in his capacity as a "general", said to himself excitedly: "I would use such a whimsy, such a stroke of genius to fight against him, ahahaha...... Genius, genius mouth, I'm a total genius, bastard. Even if it's me, I'm moved by my own genius, bastard!"

It's like all the guys who think they've done something really good. At this moment, General Leopold was so happy that he almost burst out laughing.

Of course, if he did, he wouldn't really laugh.

The offensive has begun, the expeditionary force of the Visigothic Republic has undoubtedly begun to attack now.

"But why now?" saw the other party act like this, William was a little puzzled.

Now, he has transported two legions past. The battle sappers have all the fortifications ready. Although it cannot be said to be impregnable. But as long as it is well defended, then in the case of a three-to-one ratio of enemy and enemy forces, the expeditionary force of the Russian Gothic Empire can hold it.

What's more, these forward bases were all within range of the ship's guns.

More than thirty cruisers, frigates, and the main battleships were concentrated in the canal patrolling back and forth, ready to strike at any moment.

These hundreds of large-caliber guns can inflict considerable damage on the enemy on the opposite side with just one salvo.

William could not understand at all why the opponent would attack in such a situation.

"If I were the other side, I would completely abandon the canal banks. After all, our army has perfect sea dominance. At William's side, Charlumi said, "It should be inland." In the inland areas that are out of reach of the coast, regroup and fight to the death with our army. However, why did the other party ...... at this time"

After this, William's aunt Freya also replied: "Is it because of the morale of their soldiers......? However, if you retreat after defeat, the morale will be even worse, right? In that case, what does the other side want to do...... I don't understand ...... at all."

"Is it to consume cannon fodder?" William himself was thinking as the two of them thought about the battle.

He saw the thousands of people rushing to the front - because the other side basically didn't have any modern flags or markers or anything. Nor is it arranged in a tight-looking array that can be seen clearly. Therefore, William can only reluctantly judge and use the most simple and primitive technical method, that is, "thousands" to show the opponent's strength.

Thousands of people.

Quantity. The class seems to be ......

"Mamluks?" William looked at the cavalry troops opposite, thoughtful.

These heavy cavalrymen with turbans, or pointed helmets, with two layers of heavy chain armor and clothing, with rich Persian and Arabic armor and clothing, seem to be the famous Mamluks.

"Attacking the enemy's well-defended positions head-on with elite heavy cavalry, if it were in the Middle Ages, this tactic might have been very powerful. It's just a pity that the era of heavy cavalry has passed. In this way, Seiko is completely looking for death...... So what was the commander on the other side thinking? I don't understand at all. William thought so in his heart, watching these guys holding Damascus patterned steel knives charging towards their own positions, and he couldn't help but think in his heart-

Such a scene can be said to be quite shocking. Since the Gothic Empire of Russia continued to develop modern infantry tactics, the accuracy of muskets has increased with the range and power of their muskets. There are fewer and fewer scenes like this in which thousands of elite heavy cavalry are dispatched in one breath to charge head-on.

It was quite spectacular, and it was even said that many officers and soldiers were somewhat shaken in their hearts. This is even true for veterans who have served in the army of the Russian Gothic Empire for several years.

None of them had ever seen anything like this when faced with a variety of enemies. That is, a powerful cavalry cluster like this.

This was true against the Uzbek Khanate, against the Zoroastrian Empire, and against the princes and nobles of Afghanistan and India. Such a war is also quite new to them.

Of course, the Russian Gothic Empire is very strong and very good, and it will definitely not lose its square inch because of the two things of "seeing it for the first time" and "it is spectacular", panic and even be bombed by the enemy.

Under the orders of the generals and officers of the Gothic Empire in Russia, they quickly formed a strong defensive line against the enemy's heavy cavalry units with a bayonet hollow phalanx.

Of course, several cavalry regiments that had crossed the river ahead of schedule also received orders and were ready to attack.

Although in appearance, these Mamluks are really quite gorgeous. These are the finest armor with patterns that have been passed down from the ancestors for many years, coupled with Arabic attire, gorgeous silk cloaks, scarves and turbans, etc., to set off the majesty of these Mamluk cavalry.

In contrast, the cavalry units of the Russian Gothic Empire were a little lackluster.

If it were the first time they had seen the cavalry units of the Russian Gothic Empire, they would have been shocked - although the cuirassiers did not pack themselves in plate iron cans, even with men and horses, like the Mamluk cavalry, or their predecessors a hundred years ago. But even if only the soldiers were equipped with three-quarters of the plate armor. Add to that the numbers, the arrays, and their armor, the shining brass stars on the shoulder armor showing off their martial prowess, and the Prussian nail helmet, and enough to make these enemies daunting.

The Mamluks, who had fought for the rest of the war, could feel how difficult the enemy was on their side. And those Mamluks, who are more experienced and have more vicious eyes, will also notice the sabers in the hands of the cavalry of the Russian Gothic Empire -

Unlike Damascus steel knives, which have gorgeous patterns on them. The steel produced through large-scale industrial refining is not so soft, and it is even claimed that it can be folded with a little force.

However, sharper and more resilient. Although the manufactured products are not as artistic as the murder weapons made by the craftsmen of ancient times, they are more than one step better than the other party in terms of quality.

It's just that because the soldiers of the Russian Gothic Empire have been accustomed to seeing the sophistication, bravery, and killing methods of their own cavalry, these guys will subconsciously feel shocked when they see a completely different Mamluk with a medieval style.

"This battle is not easy to fight. ”

The Mamluk commander who rushed to the front, who was also a staunch Nilesian nationalist, believed that the Nirosians needed to have their own country, and even further, to dominate the world.

He even regretted it a little, though before that, the general named Leopold had promised him that he would support himself as the new sultan of Nirosia as long as he won the war. But...... If this war is lost......

"I only have such a little capital in my hands, if I don't have it all, then ......"

There is a little tangled in my heart. After all, it is a troubled time now, and if you don't have soldiers in hand, even if you have the support of the Visigothic Expeditionary Force, it will be very difficult to become a Nirosian Sudan. What's worse is that if the other party is a little bit like that, then even if he becomes a Nilosia Sudan, I'm afraid he can only become the puppet of the other party. Or be eviscerated by the powerful ministers, the big nobles below.

"But now it's ready to fly. He thought so again.

There aren't that many good things in this world. If it is said that he can easily win the victory, can obtain the throne of Sudan, can become independent, and can become the boss of a great power, or at least a regional power, then it can only mean one thing, and that is that he has received the favor of the true God.

But, in reality, the true God only favors the brave. ”

After one last prayer, the general gritted his teeth and gave one final order—to charge.

Thousands of Mamluk cavalry. Of course, it is not possible for one person or force to gather so many Mamluk cavalry. Even if this guy is the biggest nobleman, warlord, and richest guy in Nilosia.

In fact, these Mamluk heavy cavalry were already all the heavy cavalry units of Silosis. All the nobles who had taken refuge with the Leopold general gathered all the Mamluk cavalry at their disposal, and finally assembled such an unimaginable army.

It is foreseeable that if this army is completely destroyed. If at least half of them are lost, then the native forces of Nirosia will be greatly damaged.

This was beneficial for the Russian Gothic Empire and, in fact, equally beneficial for the expeditionary forces of the Visigothic Republic.

"Oh, the charge was launched, and more than two thousand heavy cavalry were thrown in one go, and the opponent's determination was quite good. It's just a pity...... Can it really be done?" William looked at this scene and thought to himself-

"The other side didn't even have artillery units to support the charge. The capital in the hands of those Visigothic expeditionary forces is a little less, but it is definitely not that they don't even have artillery.

In other words, these stupid guys were sold. It's pathetic. ”

Thinking so in his heart, the corners of William's mouth turned up, revealing a sarcastic smile.

That is, at the same time that he had completed this round of psychological activities, the Mamluk cavalry unit on the opposite side had already rushed into the range of the naval guns of the Russian Gothic Empire.

"Ah, that's it. ”

As the words in William's heart fell, the fleet admiral of the Eastern Azure Sea Squadron of the Russian Gothic Empire gave an order.

"Artillery, fire!"

It was like a landslide, and more than thirty frigates, cruisers and capital battleships, hundreds of guns opened fire at once.

The power of such a salvo of artillery is even stronger than that of a standard five army corps and a 100,000-strong army. (To be continued.) )
