In the past hundred years, the Crusaders have been invincible across the European continent, and even in West and Central Asia. They have conquered countless cities and lands.
In addition to strong soldiers and horses, well-equipped equipment.
The most feared thing is their discipline.
And this discipline, in the final analysis, comes from their almost crazy power of belief.
If you look purely at the composition of the Crusaders, this army is composed of private soldiers of major feudal lords, and is a completely ragtag group. Even if there are knights with excellent swordsmanship among them, it is just a ragtag group of knights.
But, the light of faith that comes from the bottom of my heart and is buried in my bones.
But they gathered this ragtag group of people together and formed a torrent of steel, starting from the heart of Europe and crisscrossing the east and west. Wherever they went, rivers of blood flowed and corpses littered the fields.
Therefore, Wang Liye knew what kind of people he was facing.
Su Dingfang also knew.
This is a bunch of lunatics!
A group of crazy people who have no fear in their hearts.
And the cardinal in red robes who appeared in the Crusades on a horse covered with iron armor was undoubtedly the catalyst for their madness.
Su Ding showed no expression on the group of soldiers with cross-stitches embroidered on their chests who appeared in the desert.
He just tightened his grip on the sword at his waist.
Although, he has a musket on him, and it is the most sophisticated repeating musket.
But due to the habit of fighting for many years, he still gripped the handle of the knife tightly.
After seeing this, the adjutant beside him looked majestic and slowly raised his hand.
Behind them, the dark cavalry troops of the Principality stretched out their hands and opened the buttons on the scabbard. Then, they held their muskets in both hands and aimed at the front.
With a bang, the anticipated fireworks finally exploded in the air.
In the blue sky, a white cloud suddenly appeared.
This is the signal for a general attack.
It is the signal of the blue sea and the signal of the Crusaders.
The Crusaders took the lead.
The red archbishop, who was riding a horse and standing in front of the formation, raised his scepter. He pointed at the general who was riding a white horse and standing at the center of the army a few hundred meters in front: "Follow the will of God and purify this group of people."
pagan!"
The voice was noble and cold, without any emotion.
The knights in the Crusades, after hearing this, pulled down the masks on their helmets.
"Victory belongs to us, glory belongs to God!"
The cardinal waved the scepter in his hand vigorously, with a crazy look in his eyes, and shouted: "Kill!"
As hundreds of knights galloped out and whipped their horses, the Crusaders' heavy armored cavalry roared behind them.
The tall horse trampled the ground. Like a raging torrent, it rushed forward.
The rumbling sound resounded throughout the Black Mountain Valley.
The horses' hooves flew and the yellow sand rolled up instantly filled the entire sky.
The sun, which was in the sky, was also covered, leaving only a pale spot.
Sand and dust are flying, and the murderous aura is strong.
Su Ding's face was like sinking into the water, his eyes full of coldness as he stared at the rushing crusaders in the smoke and dust ahead.
He drew out his saber with a swishing sound, held the steel sword in one hand, and pointed at the sky.
"kill!!"
After giving the order, the ordering soldier behind him raised his hands high, with the blood-red flag in his hand swaying violently in the wind.
Amidst the roaring sound, Ling Qi quickly changed his defense.
The whistling wind blew by, and the rapidly swaying flag made a crackling and tearing sound as if it could not withstand the raging wind.
Boom...boom...boom
Several earth-shaking muffled sounds were heard behind the Principality Cavalry.
Then, streaks of fire emerged from the smoke that towered into the sky.
swish swish
Black projectiles, dragging long tails of fire, like meteors falling all over the sky when the doomsday comes, shot out from behind the cavalry brigade, with the power to destroy the world, towards the silver fire ahead.
It was smashed into the torrent of steel.
The first cannonball landed accurately on the path of a knight charging.
There was a loud bang and flames shot out.
The knight, who was covered in thick iron armor, was torn into pieces by the shrapnel and fire from the explosion.
Countless pieces of flesh and blood flew across the air, and the smell of smoke and blood suddenly became thick in the air.
But the other knights still seemed unaware.
He lowered his head, leaned on the horse, held a spear in his hand, and charged without fear of death.
It was as if the tragic situation of their companion who had just been torn into pieces was not seen at all in their eyes.,
Boom boom boom...
A salvo fired, and dozens of artillery shells fell into the enemy camp.
Each shell exploded with a loud bang, followed by a burst of fire and smoke that was getting thicker and thicker.
Along with the flames rising into the sky, there were countless broken arms and flesh and blood flying everywhere.
"An admirable opponent!"
The adjutant's lips trembled, his eyes were a little blurred, and he said absently.
"On the battlefield, there is only life and death. The spirit may be worthy of admiration, but it is not worth learning! At least, not now!" Su Dingfang said indifferently, still staring at the enemy troops getting closer and closer in front.
"Yes!" After the adjutant came to his senses, he nodded quickly.
"Don't be distracted. The other party won't give up on cutting off your head just because you admire them!" Su Dingfang glanced at him coldly. There was no emotion in his eyes, only a cold light that was sharper than an unsheathed sword.
.
"Prepare the musket!" While speaking, Su Dingfang lowered his head and slowly fixed the handle of the knife in his hand.
Behind them, the cavalrymen saw this and pulled out the long swords on their horses in unison.
The sharp cold light flashed, and the murderous aura suddenly rose!
The dark spears were raised one after another, and the black muzzles shimmering with light were like the eyes of the god of death. There was no mercy, only endless darkness.
"put!"
Su Dingfang's voice remained indifferent.
Said something softly.
As the blood-red flag in the hand of the ordering soldier behind him was waved forcefully.
Brilliant tongues of flame spurted out from the dark muzzle.
The angry bullets, with a sharp whistling sound, tore through the air, passed through the proud iron armor of the Crusaders, and penetrated into the bones and flesh.
Bang bang bang...
In the thick smoke, gunshots continued to sound.
The tongues of fire were spitting out, and the knights who were galloping on horseback were like straw in the autumn wind, hanging down powerlessly and falling to the ground.
Then he was trampled into a pile of minced meat by the horses behind him.
After the crackling gunfire.
The Crusaders were already within a hundred meters.
Su Dingfang reined in his horse with one hand, and with the hand holding the saber, he swung the knife back with a flash of cold light.
He leaned on the horse's back and shouted softly.
Under the crotch, the war horse is moved by his thoughts.
Gallop out.
Behind him, the cold-faced cavalry galloped forward, shooting like black and suppressed arrows towards the approaching silver torrent.
At this moment, the sun is covered with dust and the battle flags are flying. (To be continued)
