Chapter 465 Battle of Pintus (2)

"Assemble! Assembly!"

Beep-beep-beep-

Amidst the shrill whistles, groups of line infantry rushed out from the trenches or the barracks, and assembled in companies in the open space behind the positions. After more than ten minutes, the soldiers of the three regiments After the assembly, each of them carried their musket on their left shoulder and endured the licking of the scorching sun.

Looking at these well-trained soldiers, the commander of the second brigade, Gilad Price nodded, coughed a few times, and said to the soldiers who were watching him, "Brothers, today is July 7th, please remember this day, because this will be a date that will be recorded in history.

Today, we will leave our solid positions and launch an attack on the opposite side of the Trikasi and Petrok who have been confronting us for nearly two months. Our friendly forces, other brothers of the Second Army will also join this military Action, they will launch an attack from another direction, and cooperate with us to pinch the invaders together.

This will be a crucial military operation. If we win, we will be able to turn the tide of the battle and sweep away the haze of Lumi's fiasco; if we lose, the city of Tus behind us will fall under the enemy's iron hoof, and our corpses It will become the road to victory paved with enemies and become their stepping stones!

I know which one you will choose, but in fact, a true warrior always pursues victory. "

"We must win!" Girard clenched his fists and said firmly: "For the eagle emblem on your military cap, for the glory and dignity of the kingdom, we must win!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

the soldiers shouted in unison.

……

On the other side, Mathias Horn, the commander of the Second Army, also led his troops to attack the camp of the Trikasi Allied Forces after taking the oath. The enemy camp was being bombarded indiscriminately. Amidst the rumbling sound like thunder, shells fell into the camp one after another, and then exploded suddenly. The scattered shrapnel shrouded the surrounding coalition soldiers like flowers scattered by a goddess. , The sharp shrapnel easily cut through the armor of the soldier, even a shield cannot resist the flying shrapnel.

The sudden shelling plunged the coalition into panic and chaos. Numerous soldiers screamed and rushed out of the barracks like headless chickens. Only some soldiers and officers could barely keep calm, grabbed their weapons and ran to the wooden fence surrounding the camp. Behind them, at this moment, they saw one after another of Winster soldiers forming a rectangular formation running towards the camp, and black shadows flew over their heads from time to time, and when the black shadow fell into the camp, it exploded again. .

The advancing Winster infantry caused the coalition soldiers in the camp to panic even more. They wanted to retreat from the opposite direction, but they were horrified to find that even in the opposite direction, there were enemies with long-barreled weapons. It is the Winster infantry holding high the banner of the yellow double-headed eagle on a black background!
And as the distance from the camp became smaller and smaller, the advancing Winster soldiers also began to raise their muskets and shoot at the enemies behind the wooden fence. In an instant, the gunshots rang out, and a dense barrage of lead bullets formed Flying towards the wooden fence, the surface of the wooden fence was riddled with holes, dense like a honeycomb, a large number of bullets also penetrated the thin fence, flew to the rear, hit the running coalition soldiers, and shot them to the ground. Let out a painful wail, because the distance is still far away, and the bullet penetrates a layer of wood, so the power of the bullet is much smaller. Even if it hits the human body, it cannot cause fatal injuries, but the pain can still make the enemy scream again and again , and the bullets made of lead are highly toxic. Once absorbed by the human body, even if they survived by chance, they may not live for many days.

The long coalition camps were all attacked by the Winsters. This was unexpected by the generals of the two countries. They hurriedly put on their armor and ordered soldiers to fight back. However, the army in the Middle Ages was not as strong as them. Ruo wished to launch a counterattack quickly. It was not until Wenster's army was less than 30 meters away from the camp that some soldiers broke away from the chaos and used bows, arrows and javelins to counterattack the incoming enemy. Instead, the continuous musket fire was able to penetrate the cover of the wooden palisades and hit soldiers firing from behind.

If it is said that the Winster army only has this method, then it is really underestimating them. When they were only ten meters away from the wooden fence, those tall grenadiers ignited the early grenades they carried. , and then threw it towards the fence. A few seconds later, there was a deafening explosion. Along with the black smoke and the blasted soil, the wooden fence fell down. Then, the grenadiers once again carried forward the fine tradition of charging first, roaring He straightened his bayonet and charged into the chaotic coalition camp.

At the same time, the Lumi coalition army stationed in Nansen Village also heard the faint sound of artillery from a distance, because the friendly army did not inform them of the attack mission in advance, and several commanders immediately felt bad, and could not care about the gunfire above their heads. The scorching sun led the soldiers and horses to leave the station and rush towards the direction of the sound of the guns.In order to be able to reach the battlefield faster, the leader of Kurban personally led his barbarian cavalry to the front, and quickly distanced himself from the infantry. As they advanced, the sound of the cannon became clearer. Leader Kurban The uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.

"Speed ​​up! Our allies are under attack!"

He shouted loudly, and at the same time whipped the horse under his crotch, causing the horse to neigh and speed up. However, just as they rushed through a forest, they heard a crisp gunshot, and then, came out from behind the forest. The dense barrels, before the barbarian cavalry could react, the muskets fired, and countless bullets roared into the running cavalry, shooting all the unprepared barbarian knights off their horses, and a large number of horses were also shot several times. Falling down suddenly, the Kurban leader who rushed to the front was undoubtedly the target of the musket fire. In a blink of an eye, the barbarian leader who had traveled thousands of miles to the battlefield of Vardasia was beaten into a sieve, and he couldn't even scream. Then he died of anger.

After a round of violent volleys, the barbarian cavalry fell into chaos. Before they were given a chance to get out of the chaos, countless black iron balls were recognized from the woods. The black iron balls fell into the cavalry group like raindrops and hit The knight gave them a head-on blow, and before they could react, a few seconds later, there was a series of violent explosions in the crowd, people turned their backs, and those barbarian cavalry fell down in screams. Even if they died, they would never have imagined that they The wanton massacre of Winster infantry will be massacred by the Winsters in turn today!
