Chapter 1018: Battle of Prisca (4, Undefeated Record)

Due to the use of more advanced gunpowder, when the cannon fired, the white smoke that was thick and permeated for a long time was different from the thick and long-lasting white smoke when the cannon was fired, and the muzzle of the cannon emitted a slightly black and yellow gunsmoke. And it's a lot less than before.

But Rao was so, the smoke swept with the wind and rain, and the soldiers next to the choking cannon were uncomfortable for a while.

As high-ranking officers, the people of Lorraine naturally stood a little farther away and were not affected at all.

On the contrary, when the cannonballs roared out of the barrels, in order to see the results more clearly, they even unconsciously stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look in the direction where the cannonballs were flying.

Everyone felt as if a long time had passed, but in fact, just two seconds later, in the sky above the densest military formation of the Southern Army, a lightning bolt suddenly lit up in Chapter 1018 of the Battle of Prisca (Fourth, Undefeated Record).

It's just that this lightning bolt is a weirdly round orange-red color.

Immediately after, there was a bang.

Fueled by the gunpowder, hundreds of small steel balls shot in all directions, mercilessly tearing through the soldiers' armor, burrowing into their fragile skin, tumbling through human tissue, breaking bones in their path, and finally shooting out from the other side. Leaves a horrific wound the size of a bowl on the human body.

Immediately, bright red blood spurted out of the wound.

Even when shot into the muddy water, the high-speed steel ball still made a crackling sound.

The orange-red flames dissipated, leaving only a cloud of smoke from the explosion.

When the smoke slowly cleared, a terrifying scene was revealed.

I saw that the soldiers of the Southern Army, as if they had been trampled flat by invisible big feet, immediately fell down in unison.

Blood, stumps, and human tissues were scattered all over the ground, and the visible place was covered in scarlet, looking like a slaughterhouse.

There was a sudden silence on the battlefield.

All that remained was the mournful wails and screams of the wounded.

Looking at the blood-colored pool that suddenly appeared in the crowd of enemies, the coalition officers next to the artillery all slowly lowered their hands from the telescope in Chapter 1018 Battle of Prisca (4, Undefeated Record), and were relatively speechless for a while.

Even though the enemies on the other side were all enemies, even though they were all professional soldiers who were accustomed to seeing life and death, they still felt unbearable to see that kind of hellish miserable situation.

"Demons. Someone muttered in a low voice, "The man who invented this thing is definitely a terrible demon." ”

The officer next to him couldn't help but nod slightly in agreement.

Lorraine looked back and gave the man a cold look.

The officer's face turned pale with fright.

As the saying goes, if you don't work hard and don't be lazy, you won't be able to grow your eyes.

That thing was brought by Lord Luo, even if he didn't invent it himself, but it couldn't escape his love - the greatest alchemy wizard in five hundred years, Lorena.

It's okay to say a few bad things about him secretly. But to his face......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

Lorraine looked at his face, but smiled indifferently.

The officer's heart immediately jumped: It's over, the ruffian has heard it all~!

I don't know how I'm going to die?

Is it to let yourself lead the death squad to rush Haddou's own formation?

Or send a nail clippers and let yourself go and play with Haddou?

......

He couldn't stop thinking about it, and a layer of sweat appeared faintly on his forehead.

Although bullying junior officers and abusing them mercilessly has always been the duty of a commander. But Lorraine looked at him tremblingly, and couldn't help but think of the first time he went out to work and was bullied when he was a rookie.

For a while, it was quite a bit mixed.

He immediately bared his teeth and smiled at the officer with relief, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

The young officer was stunned for a moment, and then a layer of excited blood welled up on his face. This boss is so magnanimous, it's really worth it~!

By this time, General Hassell had recovered from the shock he had just had.

He looked at the cannons, his eyes lit up, and he barely drooled.

The adjutant next to him saw that his image was too embarrassing, and immediately reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes next to him.

General Hassel couldn't help but blush, coughed lightly, and said, "This thing is really good~!"

Lorraine shook his head, but with some regret on his face, he said, "It's not good enough." Due to technical limitations, the chamber pressure cannot be increased, and this thing is currently more like a mortar, and the range is not far. ”

Hassel paused for a moment, and then said, "Enough, my esteemed earl, it's good enough......"

At this time, the artillery officers of the security army had already assessed the effect of the shelling, and then waved the small flag in their hands and ordered loudly: "All ready, the angle of fire is thirty-five degrees, reload~!"

The order was passed down layer by layer.

Nearly 100 new artillery pieces have long been deployed under small earthen bags and are ready to go.

The black-clad security soldiers received the order and went into action.

Correct the angle of the muzzle, push the shell into the chamber, and then hold your head in your hands, crouch to the side without saying a word, waiting for orders.

The artillery commander standing at the top of the dirt slope glanced to the left and right, and saw that at the bottom of the hill, the starters behind the artillery all raised the red flag in their hands in unisonβ€”that was the signal that the artillery was ready and waiting to be fired.

The officer immediately raised the red flag in his hand, pointed it to the sky, and waved it down vigorously, and at the same time, shouted angrily: "Fire~!"

Nearly a hundred cannons were firing almost simultaneously, and the flames from the muzzles of the guns gathered together, looking like the breath of a group of dragons at the same time.

And the sound of the artillery that gathered together, with a power louder than thunder, rolled across the entire battlefield, shocking everyone on the battlefield.

When the shell exploded above the head of the Southern Army, orange flames burst out, looking from afar like a blooming fire rose. But the dazzling glamour was fleeting, followed by a deadly rain of bullets.

A large area of the Southern Army was instantly vacated.

When the first cannon sounded, Haddou, who was standing at the head of Prisca City to watch the battle, instantly clenched his fists, straightened his old body, stared at the direction of the cannon fire with wide eyes, his face was pale, and the only thought in his heart was: miscalculation~!

The intelligence that General Haddou gathered from all sources showed that Lorraine's artillery was a lot of artillery, but it had a fatal weakness - it could not be used in the rain.

Neither the naval guns on the Victory nor the guns under Grand Duke Juman could fire normally in wet and rainy conditions.

This is clearly written in the textbook that teaches Almohad artillery.

Two days ago, he also ignored the casualties of his soldiers and forced them to attack. A large part of the reason for this is precisely to prove this~!

And without artillery, the coalition forces lost a sharp claw, and even Haddou could conclude that Lorraine dared to go deep alone, and all they had was the artillery in their hands.

On the battlefield, they play too much of a role.

Although Haddou did not know that Lorraine called artillery the god of war, he knew very well the meaning of artillery in war.

Artillery is a weapon that changes war.

Originally, it didn't surprise him, and after continuous rain, the artillery of the opposing coalition army turned off.

He gathered his superior forces again, and in only two days took the outskirts of Lorraine's camp, blocking all the roads to escape.

Although the casualties were not small, it was only a matter of time before Lorraine was eliminated.

Once Lorraine is killed, it will have an immeasurable impact on the operation of the peacekeeping force in Almohad.

Don't look at Lorraine, this guy is a ruthless person who dares to fight face-to-face with the undead high priest, and someone will naturally deal with him when the time comes.

But the sudden appearance of artillery fire ruined Haddou's qiΔ“. Before he knew it, his nails had pierced his palms, and blood was dripping down his fingers.

When the continuous firelight flashed in the center of the coalition forces opposite, Haddou was completely desperate.

He calculated correctly, and only misestimated the strength of the Flying Eagle Group.

This is not surprising, because the activities of the Flying Eagle Group have always avoided the south of Almohd, and they will not be stupid to go to the enemy.

And Leo, as the little grandfather of the Ruman Empire and the boyfriend of the cousin of Her Majesty Queen Isabella, even adopted unilateral trade embargo sanctions in order to trap this group of southerners.

Once anyone was found to be doing business with those southern Yankees, they were immediately blacklisted by the Flying Eagle Group.

Under such a powerful situation, it is naturally impossible for General Haddou to have a very detailed understanding of the Flying Eagle Group.

In fact, his understanding of the Flying Eagle Group is far less profound than that of the Holy See's pups, and many people in the Holy See died at the hands of the Flying Eagle Group back then.

"This era is about to change...... Haddou muttered as he looked up at the clouds in the sky.

The subordinates beside him only saw their eternal commander, and their faces were pale and terrible at the moment.

And they could only look at the chaotic battlefield in confusion, and they couldn't think of any clue in their hearts.

They had always been accustomed to following the wolf, believing that they only needed to fight hard. But now in this situation, even the head wolf doesn't know what to do. And what can they come up with?

As if suddenly grasping at the straw that saved his life, Hadu suddenly turned around, his eyes forced to look at the gray-robed man, and said, "You~!Can you go and kill Lorraine?"

The gray-robed man sneered, his tone was even slightly pleasant, and said, "Don't be stupid. If you can kill his soldiers, I can kill Lorraine. But now...... I can only die if I go up, let alone ...... Not to mention ......"

The gray-robed man shook his head, not saying "let alone saying" that there was still something to store.

Haddou's arm finally hung down weakly, and his chest, which had always been straight, suddenly bent down, and the whole person suddenly aged ten years.

The artillery slaughter continued, and the orange light shone brightly, and the soldiers of the Southern Army fell into the muddy water one by one.

Haddou stared at the banner of the Ruman Empire flying high in the distance, as if he saw a young man sneering at him just under that banner.

Haddu trembled slightly, raised his arm and tried to hold on to the city wall, but suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the sky.

The guards quickly held Haddu to him, only to see that his beard under his chin was stained with blood, and he closed his eyes tightly.

The guard shook Hadu and said anxiously: "My lord, my lord~!"

Hadu opened his eyes weakly and said slowly: "Retreat, retreat, all retreat, you can run as much as you can." ”

The gray-robed man let out a faint sigh and said, "Why are you so troubled, it would have been better if you had agreed to my conditions earlier." ”

Haddou's generals looked at their unconscious commanders at a loss, and anxiously asked each other, "What should we do?"

A stout general glanced at his colleagues on the left and right, took a slow step, stood in the center of the crowd, and said in a firm tone: "You withdraw, my troops will cover." ”

"General Helier, you ......"

General Helier lowered his head to look at the unconscious Haddou and said in a deep voice: "A disorderly retreat will lead to the annihilation of the entire army. We still have a chance. Besides, it was my duty to guard Prisca. ”

Haddou's generals looked at each other uneasily, and they could all see each other's hesitation. Accustomed to listening to orders, they themselves have lost the ability to make decisions.

General Helier hurriedly stomped his foot, pushed the general beside him, and said loudly: "Don't hesitate, do you want the adults to die here? It's safe to cross the river.

What my adult gave with this life will be repaid to my adult today. ”

In the end, one of the oldest generals shook General Helier's hands and said excitedly, "Helier...... Take care. Brothers, each of them gave the order to retreat, and only by preserving their strength can they make a comeback. ”

Haddou's generals had sad and solemn expressions, and they patted General Helier on the shoulders one by one, and then ran down the city wall as fast as they could.

The artillery from the coalition forces became more and more intensive, and after becoming proficient, the artillery of the security forces opened fire faster and faster.

The dense crowd made it impossible for the artillerymen to aim at all, just throw the shells roughly into place.

The rebels in the north had loosened, and those behind did not dare to advance, nor to attack in front, nor to retreat, and they were like a trapped beast, circling in place.

And in the middle, there was a floor full of corpses and wailing wounded.

Lorraine exhaled, watching the rebel soldiers fall neatly like mowing grass, and even he felt a palpitation.

No one can hold out under such artillery fire.

The artillery officer of the security army observed the battlefield and found that there was no longer any valuable target in the middle of the place covered by artillery, and immediately spit out coldly, "Fire extension~!"

"Firepower extended~!"

The order was loudly communicated.

The artillerymen quickly turned the steel wheel next to the gun carriage, adjusted the angle, and extended the range outward little by little.

The rebel soldiers, who had cowered and hovered beyond range, were immediately enveloped in a torrential rain of steel balls.

Seeing their comrades in front of them being beaten into a sieve by steel balls under artillery fire, the rebel soldiers instantly collapsed, they threw down their weapons, screamed hysterically, and turned to flee.

The troops directly under Haddou to the south also had an anomaly at this time, and Haddou's soldiers retreated backwards like a tidal wave, but one unit suddenly rose up, holding high the battle flag, and rushed towards the coalition camp against the retreating crowd.

At the front, a big man with a ** upper body, let the rain fall on his body, holding a battle axe, roaring angrily, striding towards the coalition army.

The captain of the Hal District looked at the charging Hadu soldiers with his glasses, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's a little interesting." Little cubs, did you see that guy who is not afraid of death?"

"Yes, sir. The artillery around him roared.

Hal said flatly: "Kill him for me~!"

The artillery officer said slowly in an emotionless tone: "The distance is two thousand two hundred feet...... The angle of fire is forty-one degrees. Three shots in a row~!"

The five guns in front of Hal moved at the same time, and the artillerymen repeated the order loudly, "Forty-one degrees of fire", quickly adjusting the angle.

"Put~!"

Five shells were discharged at the same time and fell on the heads of the charging Southern Army soldiers, and the bullets rained down, and the running soldiers fell neatly.

But the soldiers in the back rushed up with their corpses in their footsteps.

The big man who was in the lead staggered, and the tomahawk slammed to the ground, and then staggered to his feet.

The second round of shelling was in the air.

Above him, a spark suddenly exploded, and the steel ball splashed on the ground.

The artillery fire formed a curtain of steel in front of the position, and all the soldiers who set foot on this path finally fell in the rain of bullets, and finally the soldiers behind could not bear it anymore, stopped the charge, and retreated with the other legions.

Hal watched the big man fall to the ground in the binoculars, and then nodded with satisfaction, and smiled briskly: "The firepower is extended, attacking the enemy's retreating troops." ”

"Forget it~!" Lorraine suddenly waved his hand and said, "Slaughtering the fleeing enemy will hurt the heavens and the peace, stop using the steel ball mother bomb." ”

Hal said unwillingly: "My lord, don't go back to the mountain, this is Hadu." ”

Lorraine said: "With artillery fire *** on the river, the cavalry pressed on and ordered them to surrender." Use grenades against assembled enemies.

The number of steel ball sub-bombs is limited, which is left at a critical moment later. The rout army in the north will not care about them, and it will not be the climate. ”

Despite his reluctance, Hal nodded and said loudly, "Yes, my lord." ”

Then he ordered: "Stop the shelling, change the grenades, the artillery squads 1, 2, 3 *** river surface." Four teams attacked the enemy's assembly part. ”

Hearing that the steel ball mother bomb was no longer used, Hassel breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, leave the order to pursue to us." ”

Although they were different enemies, Hassel was moved by compassion, he had also been to the South, and these soldiers were just ordinary people in the South, and they belonged to the same people and the same country as him.

Lorraine hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, with the Almohads on it, the chances of the enemy surrendering would be higher.

With the Ruman Legion, the situation is not easy to say, and they will not be soft on Haddou's men.

Hassel glanced at Lorraine gratefully, saluted, and quickly turned to organize the troops.

After it was completely dark, Prisca was temporarily over.

The artillery of the coalition forces kept bombarding the vicinity of the riverbank, and the Southern Army, which was frightened by the artillery, did not dare to board a boat to cross the river, and scattered upstream and downstream and fled in a hurry.

The new army led by Hassell succeeded in blocking a part of the Southern Army, and these people, seeing that there was no way to escape, retreated into the city of Prisca and held out, ignoring Hassell's surrender.

At this time, the rebels in the north threw down their camp and all their baggage, and had already fled without a trace, and it is conceivable that without supplies, in the vast land north of the Zamibiya River, what awaits them will be the liquidation of the new army.

Lorraine won the Battle of Prisca and defeated the continent's first general, Amor and Haddou, for the first time. The Flying Eagle God of War still maintains his undefeated record. !!!
