Tearing the air from the sky, the roaring shells landed precisely in the densest places of the army.

With such a dense crowd, there is no room to hide even if they want to, not to mention that this group of recruits is completely stupid by the scene in front of them, what are these things? Not to mention recruits, even the veterans are panicking.

Some well-informed people have already begun to think of the artillery that appeared on the border between Valoa and the HRE Empire, is there already artillery in the Krimu? How can this battle be fought, I heard that the power of artillery can destroy a city lightly, just their flesh and blood.

Oh my God, there's no way to turn the power of faith into armor, they're just ordinary soldiers, not paladins.

"Click!!"

"Ahh

The shells fell into the crowd and crushed several hapless soldiers on the spot.

The soldier standing by watched his companion turn into a pile of minced meat, and before he could rejoice that it was not himself who had fallen to the ground.

"Boom!!" Before people could react, the shell suddenly exploded again!

With the cannonball as the center, dozens of soldiers were directly shattered by the power of the explosion, and there were steel fragments maliciously filled by Chu Nan in the cannonball, which were directly embedded into the human body with the shock wave of the explosion.

The white bones exposed on the forehead, the white brains on the back of the head, and the severed corpses created a hollow area for a while.

Everyone was stunned, no one would have thought that these cannons would be so powerful, even better than Valois's artillery, could it be that the era of magic and vindictiveness on the Roland continent was about to pass?

This is the god of war. He is the true god of war.

But now for the soldiers of the Rus Empire, artillery is an out-and-out demon of hell. Even if he is the god of war, he is also the god of war of his enemies. It has nothing to do with them!

"We can't defeat it, it's a weapon that the undead have brought from hell, and the priests must fight it!" said one of the soldiers, already frightened. Just now, one of his companions was bleeding from a cannonball, and his own condition was not optimistic, his ears were buzzing all the time, and it was certain that he must have been deaf.

The words of the soldier aroused the approval of many people, and more and more people retreated in their hearts.

Seeing that the army was showing signs of collapse, the Overseers had no choice but to break into the army. A leather whip slapped on the soldier's body, and said viciously: "Who dares to bewitch the people again, the knife in my hand is not beautiful!"

As he spoke, the Overseer slashed off the head of the soldier he had just "bewitched the crowd."

The Overseer was also beating drums in his heart, and he had seen the power of the cannonball explosion before, not to mention these ordinary soldiers, and his own situation was not good. However, because of the military order, he must stabilize the army he is responsible for. If something happens, he's going to be court-martialed! The judge in it won't be distracted by the fact that he's a little Overseer.

It's different from the legend. The Crimean artillery did not seem to take several minutes to fill, but had not yet gone a few dozen meters, and the sound of the cannon sounded again, this time the shells exploded through the crowd with precision again.

Ten more hollow strips appeared. Human life was so lowly in front of the shells, and the light ones were plundered, leaving only a blur of flesh and blood.

Many serfs were already frightened, and their legs trembled, completely taken away by the forward movement of their comrades-in-arms.

They went through such battles there. Completely frightened, I don't know what to do, let alone serfs, and the Overseer is now terrified of being too scared himself.

We can't go on like this. The commander watched the battle scene with heavy artillery fire. He knew very well that if this situation continued, there would be no need to engage in close combat. His army had to be broken by artillery and hunted down.

"Get the cavalry ready, crush the enemy, and capture their artillery!" ordered the commander-in-chief.

There were still 60,000 cavalry in the army, which was more than enough to fight the enemy's 30,000 infantry, even if it was a phalanx of spears. As long as the enemy's artillery can be captured, I believe that His Majesty the Tsar will not blame him for the heavy casualties he paid because of the artillery this time, and maybe he will be promoted to the rank of knight! At that time, His Majesty the Tsar, who imitated artillery, will definitely not sit on the throne in peace, and a new round of war will eventually begin.

The infantry of the Rus' Empire advanced slowly under artillery fire, and the morale of the 500,000-strong army was completely suppressed by the 30,000 troops on the opposite side, and they were terrified in the face of artillery. Even though they knew that the 30,000 men on the opposite side would definitely not be the opponent of 500,000 in the event of close contact, the Rus soldiers were still terrified. The number of people who have died under the artillery has been close to 10,000 since then! If not 10,000, there must be 8,000!

The feudal army is not an army in the period of queuing to be shot, it can withstand a casualty rate of close to 40% or even 60%, and often 30% of the people in an army have casualties, and the feudal army will inevitably be defeated.

Although there are not so many dead and wounded now, the lethal shock brought by artillery is not comparable to that of swords.

Every cannon shot shattered a morale!

Ross's infantry was slowly advancing, and with each cannon fire, the pace of the advance trembled. On the other side, thanks to the superb command of the commander-in-chief, the cavalry of 60,000 men was quickly assembled. This is one of the few cavalry units among 500,000 people, although the Rus Empire is not a country lacking horses, but every cavalry is an elite regular army, not a random combination of serfs can be compared, so they are also the treasure in the palm of every general, if it were not for this crisis, the army would be in danger of rout at any time, and the commander would not order the cavalry to attack.

"Cavalry, advance!" The cavalry team was divided into three parts, forming a wedge-shaped formation, and they rode resolutely on horseback and armor and walked towards the spear phalanx.

The rumbling of artillery fire could not break their will, and besides, the artillery fell only in the ranks of the infantry, and they turned a blind eye to the cavalry, not knowing whether it was contempt or something else.

The phalanx of spears lined up by the skeletons is undoubtedly powerful for the cavalry, and it can theoretically be resisted without limits, after all, these cavalrymen do not have spears several meters long in their hands, and basically as long as they step forward, they will definitely be resisted by the spears.

But theory is theory after all, as long as the first layer of defense can be reopened, the pike-phalanx will be completely chiseled into waste by the cavalry that follows. (To be continued......)
