The cannonballs fired in the face roared and flew into the array of charging knights and retinues of cavalry. Puff after puff of sand and gravel flew around like a fountain. From time to time, someone was hit and fell apart or exploded.
came, but they were unable to shake the accelerating charge wave.
The momentum of their attack was so resolute and unyielding that even the friendly troops on the battlefield who could not dodge were trampled to pulp without hesitation, or their limbs were broken and knocked away; in the blink of an eye, they were scattered among the people.
The trampling on the battlefield opened up a large bloody passage.
At the moment when this bloody passage extended to the Free Army's preset front line, the retinue of cavalry who had been enduring the rain of artillery bombardments and bullets suddenly spread out towards the two wings.
And revealing the heavily armored knights who had been surrounded by men, horses and armor.
Hidden among the groups of cavalry retinues, these heavily armored knights rushed in groups; like stormy waves crashing on the beach, or like torrents breaking through the dam; one after another on the battle line/fortifications that were originally like iron walls.
, smash, break open, and cut through gaps.
In the blink of an eye, the frontal defense line that had remained unmoving in the face of the impact of most of the Burgundian army; after these heavily armored knights broke in one after another, it became fragmented as vehicles were overturned and limbs flew over. However,
The knights didn't even have time to expand their victory and rushed to the second formation.
Then came the third formation... After breaking through the fourth formation, these knights who were ready to go slowed down slightly, and under the cover of the accompanying cavalry, they let go of the broken flag guns and spears; they picked up again
The long sword on the saddle drives the horse to trample and collide among the crowd.
However, this time, the projectiles fired by the Free Arms Gun Company arrayed in the rear could only make a clanging sound on these knights; only occasionally would a projectile happen to hit the gap between the armor of the men and horses, splashing out a
There was a thin stream of blood, but it had almost no impact.
Only the continuous bombardment of artillery shells can knock these obviously superior knights to the ground, including men and horses. However, apart from the mounts with broken legs and feet, and unable to cry, there are still people who can stagger.
He stood up leisurely and continued walking to rejoin the battle.
At this time, the large group of armed attendants following on foot finally caught up and swarmed in through the gap opened by the knights. They stepped on the abandoned gun emplacements and broken vehicle barriers, and squeezed in from both sides.
Free Army soldiers; roaring and fighting.
Under the encouragement and excitement of these armed attendants, the sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and armored halberdiers who had been defeated and scattered were also reduced to falling under the slashing and whipping of the officers and the supervising team.
They came back like a rolling bead curtain and rushed into the ruined formation one after another.
On a high platform hundreds of meters away from these rampaging knights, surrounded by several guard companies, grenade companies, and special attack companies, Jiang Tian was also watching these heavy equipment with interest.
The knight's performance; just like the scene outside Avignon.
Although there were probably only a few hundred of them, they were like a heavy hammer swinging with all its strength, smashing the lines of several Free Army gun companies and white soldier companies to pieces from the inside out, and continued to drive peace and harmony.
Encourage more enemy troops; rush into the inner lines of the Free Army's positions.
However, today's Free Army is not the new team that it was at the beginning, which has been fighting all the way. Instead, it has a vast territory and a deep rear area of more than ten provinces in the south. It has a registered population of at least six to seven million, and can continuously supply it.
A political power that provides troops and material output.
The abundant manpower and material resources, coupled with the political system and military construction concepts that are ahead of the times, are enough to select and build an elite division that is relatively indomitable and firm in a short period of time. Therefore, the forward company is called
After breaking through and being defeated, they still kept fighting.
It’s just that if there are not big changes and changes; the majority of people who are broken through the position and defense line, and lose the cover of the formation and lineup, can only spontaneously gather together to resist; sooner or later, they will still be submerged in the local battlefield.
In the midst of a wave of enemy forces with relative numerical superiority.
"Sir, please let us attack!" At this time, Duval, who is the leader of the Redemption Knights of the Free Army and the chief cavalry trainer, could not help but invite the battle again: "These knights obviously belong to the power of special blood.
,According to the tradition of the kingdom, only knights can deal with knights."
"Don't worry, just wait a little longer. We still have corresponding trump cards that are useless." Jiang Tian shook his head lightly and said: Before he finished speaking, he saw the grenadier company blocking the front row. Suddenly,
Sparks and flashes of light burst out, but it was them launching some new type of weapon.
They were trails of thick smoke and sparks, drawing zigzag arcs in the air; they crashed down behind the advancing group of knights one after another, exploding into clouds of fireworks and air waves. They also hit those who were accompanying the attack.
The retinue of cavalry and armed attendants were knocked down and the ground was overturned.
This is one of the newly equipped firearms of the Free Army, the Hale rocket from another time and space. Although its accuracy and accuracy at long distances are limited, when used suddenly in such situations, it achieves unexpected killing and deterrence effects.
;but the knights seemed unaffected.
Instead, it attracted more attention, and several attack formations were reorganized on the spot. Without hesitation, they broke away from the cover of most of the armed attendants; they quickly penetrated like sharp knives; but at this time, most of the
Man's power has been exhausted and he is trapped by many obstacles.
More and more knights began to dismount and fight; and these knights in infantry battles, under the continuous bombardment of rockets, became the backbone of the armed retainers and retinues of the cavalry, leading them through waves of platoons.
Rains of projectiles and clouds of explosion smoke fell from the sky from time to time.
And this is when the northwest wind slowly blows on the battlefield, and some of the knights who still have the energy to ride their horses charge forward; suddenly they find that behind the smoke clouds that have been blown away, there is suddenly a cheerful atmosphere. Only the last hundred meters are left.
Outside, there are several small artillery positions and vehicle-mounted box launchers in preparation.
In an instant, a cloud of gray smoke bursting out of flames once again enveloped and obscured the array on the opposite side; but it was another big killer weapon prepared by the Free Army - the box organ cannon. In an instant, thick metal projectiles sprayed like rain.
, pushing these knights back step by step with continuous bombardment.
Moreover, the heavy armor could not withstand the continuous blows, so it cracked, cracked and even sunk in. Even if some people were able to get up again, blood lines continued to flow from the masks and helmets; but from freedom
The successive counterattacks within the army did not end.
The next moment, there were loud clouds of smoke, ejected by a row of special short-barreled mortars lifted by two people; the can-shaped projectile was pushed up with the power of gunpowder explosion, and was thrown diagonally at these people who were still standing.
Among the enemy knights, they were chopped into pieces with their quick eyes and hands.
However, Duval, the leader of the Redemption Knights, couldn't help but stiffen when he saw this scene. Relying on the extraordinary recovery ability of the inheritance knights, some kind of trauma that had long been healed and disappeared also made him feel faintly again.
The constant phantom pain was a painful memory that was unbearable to look back on.
Flames and sparks exploded in an instant, rising among these enemy knights. But this time it was no longer the most common flammable fire oil, but instead, based on the formula contributed by the member of the alchemy association, it was made from overseas.
Fire glue made from provincial asphalt, naphtha, and rosin.
In a short period of time, most of the dozen heavily armored knights who bore the brunt of the attack were turned into blazing human-shaped torches; while the other enemy knights who were infected to a certain extent also screamed and shouted, desperate on the spot.
He flapped desperately and even rolled on the ground trying to extinguish it.
However, it was contaminated by this and ignited the fire of more armed attendants who tried to help and treat them; and the smoke and fire burned on their armed uniforms and robes and began to fly all over the ground. From then on, the enemy
The last wave of offensive launched by Fang's heavily armored knights quickly collapsed.
Duval, the leader of the Knights, looked at this scene and was in a state of palpitations, fear and joy that kept alternating memories. After all, times have changed tremendously. In the face of the potential means possessed by the Free Army, tradition swept away all forces.
If Fang's bloodline knights cannot adapt to the changes in time, they will end up like this.
In the end, the more than ten heavily armored knights whose whole bodies were set on fire lost their screams and calls for help; their whole bodies were scorched and fell to the ground. The other enemy knights who were affected were also burned by the high temperature through the armor.
Unable to bear it any longer, he began to scramble to take off the hot protective gear and expose his inner body.
However, Jiang Tian, who was watching from a high position, couldn't help but let out a sigh; because he suddenly noticed that these enemy knights who looked like tin cans, after taking off their outer armor and protective gear, revealed extremely hairy
Dense physical features; however, the next moment, Duvall roared loudly:
"Heresy!" "Blasphemer!" "Damn bloodline pollution!" "It's really you aliens!" "Have the bloodline and ancient heritage of the Northern Knights been subverted by these evil spirits?" He turned to Jiang Tian again.
Begging: "Sir, please allow me to eradicate evil spirits for you."
Amidst the rapid drumbeats that sounded a moment later, as several grenade companies in the front began to advance slowly; Duval personally led a special attack company composed of inheritance knights, and several attached cavalry companies, also bypassed the flanking battle line;
He pounced on the retreating enemy knight like a charging tiger.
The remaining enemy knights even abandoned their armed attendants on foot, and seized the horses of the attendant cavalry, only to run away with their lives. At this time, it seemed that there was no way or strength to save it. Kongtai, whose various offensives had declined and all means had been exhausted,
The legion was completely defeated on the frontal battlefield.
Only half an hour later, the Ardennes Army, which was facing a bad situation on the Western Front, took the lead and led its remnants to desperately retreat from the battlefield. The Champagne Army, which was locked in a bitter battle on the Eastern Front, completely collapsed. The entire film
Thousands of soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt in the dust, praying for surrender.
However, most of the companies of the Free Army did not care about their troops to accommodate and organize them; they then had no time to pursue the Conté Army, which was crumbling in the middle, and chased them with corpses all the way to the vicinity of the Dijon city wall; they surrounded them.
In the fortress on the outskirts of the city, the legion headquarters was located before they could escape into the city.
At this time, the city gate of Dijon suddenly opened quietly, and an army with both foot and cavalry rushed out. It was holding high the Burgundy family emblem flag with yellow and blue diagonal stripes; but there was another embroidered "
There were only silver horse hoof prints; and it rushed towards the besieged fortress tower.
