Chapter 526 Relief
"kill!"

"Kill all these damn traitors!"

In Kolmen City, the so-called rebels and the army loyal to the Republic fought fiercely with each other. A large number of soldiers in leather armor and chain mail carried one ladder after another to the city wall from outside the city. They put the ladders on the city wall Above, use the most primitive ants to attack the city.From time to time, people screamed and fell from the four-meter-high city wall, or fell backwards with the overturned ladder.

"attack!"

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

During the continuous battle roar, the soldiers of the Republic Army raised their shields above their heads and climbed up the ladder with one hand. A soldier who rushed to the front was climbing, but was hit hard by a huge boulder falling from the sky on the shield. The soldier suddenly lost his balance, left the ladder with one hand, screamed and fell down, knocking down a group of soldiers gathered at the bottom.

Seeing the soldier on the ladder next door being thrown down by the stone, the soldier on the other ladder was startled, and hurriedly accelerated his climbing speed, and soon emerged from the outside of the city wall, but before he could jump into the city wall, he was caught The oncoming spears pierced his body. The soldier looked at the spears passing through his body in disbelief. Before he could make a move, several defenders holding the other end of the spears joined forces He picked it up, and threw it out again. The soldier whose body was pierced flew in the air like a kite with a broken string, and fell to the ground again.

Despite the tenacious resistance of the defenders, a large number of Republic soldiers climbed the walls and fell into hand-to-hand combat with the defenders.Looking at this scene, the commander of the Republic Army outside the city was expressionless. This was not the first time his army had attacked the city wall. The same situation had happened several times before, but they were finally repelled.

However, at this moment, a soldier with a hasty look rushed over, broke through the blocking of the general's guard, half-kneeled in front of the commander, and hurriedly said: "General, holy, the army of the Holy Roman Empire is coming!"

"what?!"

The commander was shocked. He stared at the soldier, almost grabbed him by the collar and raised him up to his nose, asking, "Where is the Holy Roman Empire army now?" he asked.

"It's only less than two hours away from here!" The soldier replied in horror, "Their cavalry is coming soon, general, please deal with it!"

"It's so fast." The commander's face suddenly turned pale. He only felt the soles of his feet go weak. Fortunately, he was riding a horse now, so he didn't show any abnormality.

"Where are our cavalry?" he asked. "Let the cavalry go and meet!" he ordered in an unquestionable tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, an officer behind him took the order and turned around, leading less than [-] cavalry in the army to rush out of the camp and fight in the direction where the cavalry of the Holy Roman Empire was.

Then, the commander looked at the city wall where the fierce battle was taking place, feeling a little shaken in his heart. After a while, he still sighed and ordered: "Let the soldiers withdraw, our main enemy is the people of the Holy Roman Empire." army."

……

Just as the army of the Republic retreated from the city wall and returned to the camp, the cavalry of the Republic who went to take the initiative to meet the enemy finally met the cavalry of the Holy Roman Empire. I feel admiration, but it is never possible to release water.

So, they silently raised the loaded carbines, held the reins tightly with one hand, and controlled the horses, while holding the carbine with the other hand, with their legs tightened, they steered the horses and rushed out.

Rumble-

The horses on both sides galloped wildly, and the sound of the horseshoes on the ground was enough to make the ground tremble. Facing the enemy cavalry without shields, the Ansmara cavalry were not going to give up their shields because of the so-called gentlemanly demeanor. Hold the shield in front of your body to protect most of your body, raise your spear or long sword high in your hand, and let out a loud cry.

However, in front of the cavalry of the Holy Roman Empire with advanced weapons, the Ansmara cavalry, which is at a disadvantage, has no way to win.After the two sides entered the musket range of each other, the cavalry of the Holy Roman Empire broke their guns and fired. After a series of crisp gunshots, the imperial cavalry was immediately shrouded in smoke from the burning gunpowder, while the Ansmara cavalry running opposite them seemed to be attacked. The storm hit like a storm, and the cavalry fell in all directions. Those cavalrymen who rushed to the front turned on their backs, with many small red holes on their bodies, lying on the ground, only exhaling but not inhaling.

The sudden volley of muskets really disrupted the Ansmara cavalry's charge. The roar of the muskets sounded like a devil's roar in the ears of untrained war horses, which made them panic and irritable. The Ansmara cavalry immediately plunged into chaos.At this time, the cavalry of the Holy Roman Empire on the opposite side put away their carbines, because they did not have enough time to reload the muskets and launch the next salvo. They drew out the sharp knight swords hanging on the side of the horses and held them high Get ready to give the enemy the most violent charge!
boom!
A few seconds later, the two armies staggered past, and the sharp knight sword in the hands of the carbine cavalry used the inertia of the charge to easily cut through the thin armor of the Ansmara cavalry and cut it on the horse's back.The Ansmara cavalry had almost no strength to resist, because after they reacted, their own side was surrounded by enemy cavalry regiments, and they encircled and killed them.

……

The Ansmara cavalry were as humble as moths to a flame. Two hours later, the Holy Roman Empire army holding the flag of the double-headed eagle finally arrived outside the city of Kormen. It seemed that they knew that there was no way to escape and besieged the city. The army did not retreat, but defended against the city. The commander saw that the cavalry sent had not returned, and knew that they had encountered an accident, so he ignored it.

The battle quickly unfolded. The Holy Roman Empire army deployed [-] long-barreled cannons in the army as usual, and fired continuously at the positions of the Republic Army. Countless shells roared and fell into the Ansmara army formation. The soldiers in the formation were blown upside down.Under the cover of the artillery, the infantry in the front row moved forward slowly, and the double-headed eagle flags held high by each company fluttered in the breeze, making a biting sound of hunting.

The morale of the Republic Army fell to the bottom in an instant after a burst of indiscriminate bombing. Many soldiers screamed and wanted to flee outside the battlefield, but were killed on the spot by sharp-eyed officers. The officers killed without hesitation to prevent the soldiers from fleeing. But they couldn't summon up the courage to fight the enemy.

Looking at the shaky Republican army, the corners of Trond's mouth raised slightly. He was very familiar with this scene. It can be said that in his long career in commanding battles, the enemy army looked like this before every brilliant victory.
