Chapter 466 Battle of Pintus (3)

Seeing the barbarian cavalry fleeing like bereaved dogs, the following Lumi coalition forces were too shocked to advance rashly. They captured several of them and finally learned what happened to them through severe interrogation.The ambush set by the Winsters made them furious, and they cursed the commander of the Winster army with all kinds of vicious words, as if this would make the enemy die suddenly.

After cursing, they did not dare to take the initiative to attack. Several generals discussed with each other for a while before deciding to take a detour for support. There is not only one road to the Trikasi coalition camp from here, but also that road. The road is just closer than other roads.

On the other side, under the joint attack of the Second Army Headquarters and the Second Brigade, the camp of the Trikasi coalition army was quickly breached, and countless line infantry in dark blue uniforms rushed into the camp with great strides. Shoot and kill any enemies who dare to stand in front of you. The pungent gunpowder smoke from the burning gunpowder almost covers the entire battlefield. After the gunpowder smoke clears, you can clearly see a corpse lying on the ground.

The Tricaxi coalition forces who were almost slaughtered had never felt such powerful firepower before. They almost didn't even touch the enemy's body before being shot through by bullets halfway, and then screamed and fell to the ground. The soldiers who barely rushed to the enemy were stabbed with bayonets, and were stunned by the butt of a gun if they were lucky. Except for long-range attacks, they could hardly cause any damage to Winster's army.

In this kind of one-sided massacre, the already chaotic coalition forces finally lost their morale. When the two kingdom commanders took the lead in fleeing, they also fled in all directions. But how did they escape from the encirclement of Winster's army? Or you can only lay down your weapons in despair and become a prisoner of the enemy.

Eliminating a threat so easily brought the morale of the Winster army affected by Lumi's disastrous defeat back to its peak, especially the results of the ambush army's return, which made the whole army cheer.The murderer who wiped out the comrades of the second brigade of the first army was almost wiped out, and the only thing left was the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Lumi and the Kingdom of Karta—without the barbarian cavalry, the most threatening enemy, the rest The armies of the medieval period were also less of a concern.

And this is indeed the case. The Lumi coalition forces who came to support them thought that their friendly forces would be able to persist until they arrived, but they did not expect that when they entered the battlefield, they would be greeted by the Winster army waiting in full force and the blossoming flowers that fell from the sky. bomb!

"attack!"

"go ahead!"

boom boom-

The sound of orderly footsteps resounded from the advancing Winster line infantry. They strode forward, and the muskets loaded with ammunition were tilted in front of them. They looked serious and high-spirited, and black shells whizzed from above their heads from time to time. However, it fell heavily into the crowd of coalition troops, and then exploded violently, sending deadly shrapnel into the bodies of the surrounding soldiers. After a shell exploded, all the soldiers within a few meters around were injured and fell down. The comrades-in-arms feel sympathetic.

Looking at the menacing enemy, the noble generals Lorenzo and Lumi of the Kingdom of Ballaria all turned pale. Although they personally destroyed an army of Winsters, they had no sympathy for the Winsters in their hearts. Even if the entire alliance's army is concentrated here, the enemy will definitely be there, let alone people like them who have come from afar. Dare to take the initiative to attack.

They want to retreat, and their side has come from a long distance. The soldiers must be tired and not suitable for continuing to fight, but before they gave the order to retreat, they heard a few screams from the crowd, and they turned their heads subconsciously. Looking, following the direction where the soldiers exclaimed, they saw that the way they came was actually intercepted by a group of Winster troops who did not know when they appeared.
There were jackals in front and tigers in back, and the coalition forces suddenly fell into a dilemma. They wanted to take the initiative to attack and break through, but they felt that the enemy's firepower was strong and they could not break through. They wanted to retreat and escape, but the way they came was blocked. Will be caught up quickly and perish in chaos.Even if they stood still, the continuous artillery bombardment made them complain, and they would be blown to pieces without waiting for the enemy to attack.

Now, they finally felt the despair of the Winster army that was besieged by their own side at the time, but even so, they did not have the idea of ​​surrendering. The generals knew very well that the Winsters would not let them go Yes, they will not accept their surrender - because they are one of the chief culprits who annihilated their comrades in arms!

When they were tangled, the infantry of the Winster line was less than 200 meters away from the coalition formation, and the archers in the formation also began to draw their bows and arrows, preparing to shoot. Before they received the order to surrender, they It is necessary to fight back to win the chance of survival.The cannons were still rumbling, roaring and falling into the crowd, inflicting heavy casualties on these medieval troops. The Second Regiment of the Second Brigade, which blocked the retreat of the coalition forces, also began to move forward, coordinating with the main force to encircle them step by step.

The demise of the Lumi coalition army is already a certainty. Although they have the courage to break the boat (?), under the advanced firearms of the Winster army, the archers who were shooting at the front line were quickly defeated and defeated. The light infantry broke up the phalanx formed by the melee infantry who were waiting in full formation behind, causing a small-scale chaos. After the broken soldiers who trespassed in the formation were beheaded mercilessly by a few nobles, the soldiers who got out of the chaos were shocked It was discovered that the Winsters had taken advantage of this time to bring them into the optimal range. The next second, the muskets fired, and the soldiers in the front row screamed and fell to the ground without checking the results. The infantry quickly half-kneeled, and the comrades in the second row raised them up to shoot. After several rounds of salvos, the coalition army fell down like ears of rice harvested by a sickle.

Encountered on three sides, Lumi's coalition forces fell into chaos again, but this time they had no chance of recovery, because black balls were thrown from the enemy's formation, and the balls smashed into the crowd, killing some soldiers. They were smashed to the ground, and before they were on the same road, the ball exploded with a bang, and the flying shrapnel pierced deeply into the soldiers' bodies. These explosions were like the last straw that broke the camel's camel's back. Finally, the psychological defense line of the Lumi coalition army was broken. They had no intention of fighting any more (even though they hadn't even touched the enemy's side), and retreated one after another, exposing their fragile backs to the enemy's gunpoints.

What followed was a brutal massacre.
