Chapter 43 Protection is Glory
Elfric's army is composed of ten teams of marauders (axe infantry, shielded), six teams of heavy weapon marauders (giant ax infantry), and four teams of marauder riders (throwing axes), totaling more than 100 people.There is no outflanking in depth, only a simple and rude charge!Elfric took the lead and rushed to the front. Except for the cavalry jogging on both sides, the others basically swarmed. The flying ax cavalry did not dare to run because of the small hole in the ground. If one was not careful, the cavalry turned into infantry.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The empire's ultra-long-range giant cannons and steam tanks began to harvest places with many people. However, due to the problem of reloading speed, the Northmen were already close to the melee trenches within a few rounds.

The Norse equipment follows the Chaos army, without fancy patterns, and the color is single and heavy, basically black from top to bottom.

After getting rid of the small pit in the ground, the light cavalry began to maneuver quickly, and the target was naturally the commander Zhang Hao who seemed to be pretending to be b on the tank.However, the strength of the arm cannot be compared with that of a machine. Before the light cavalry reached their range, they were already under fire from the musketeers and crossbowmen. The dense bullets and crossbow bolts hit the light cavalry in front of the trench and had no choice but to attack the two wings. withdraw.

The Northmen have no fear of the Empire's muskets and crossbows. At most, they can use giant axes to chop off the heads of these Empire chickens with four rounds of shooting from this distance. Hao's can still win with nine hundred Lieyang, but the battle damage will be very high. You must know that there are still two full groups of Norsemen approaching at high speed on the sea.

Seeing that the distance was about the same, Zhang Hao stood up and fired a signal flare at the sky, and the purple smoke flew across the sky with the ammunition.

"The Net of Armintok!" Ekbard placed the magic net directly in the middle of the crowd. The subtle manipulation allowed the edge of the magic net facing the direction of the empire to just catch Elfric, who was charging forward, just like Elfric. As Frick thought, this position was a living target. All the Norse in the center were controlled by the white circular magic net. Four teams of musketeers, four teams of crossbowmen, artillery, and tanks all turned their guns. Aim at the dense crowd trapped in the net and use full firepower!Waves of blood mist accompanied the stumps of limbs blown up by the shells, instantly filling the entire battlefield with the smell of blood.

"Everyone charge! Kill these bastards!" After receiving the order, the giant swordsmen in the trench avoided the middle where blood and flesh were flying, and blocked the Norse troops on both sides. The Knights of the Sun who received the signal also came from both sides. Rushing out of the forest, there was no horn or roar, just like two sharp daggers, slowly and bit by bit piercing in, there was only the sound of blood flowing and wailing.

By the time the cavalry on both sides had finished crossing each other and returned to the other side's forest, the first contact battle was basically over. The remaining light cavalry of the Northmen did not even have the courage to join the battlefield and retreated like crazy.Zhang Hao did not order the troops to chase the defeated Northmen. The giant swordsman quickly recovered the crossbow arrows that could still be used. Although everyone knew that there would be a big battle next, this fast and violent tactic shocked everyone, almost The negligible losses and the crushing rhythm of the war made everyone present excited. The empire has not yet fallen, the homeland can be rebuilt, and the enemy is vulnerable to artillery fire!Lee Roald is now like a god in the hearts of the soldiers!

The bravery of the Norse people is as fragile as Alfric's body. He thought he was possessed by Chaos, and he was smashed to see the Chaos God.

Although Wandrei and Pawe saw Elfric's army returning in defeat on the longboat, they did not know the details at all, so they still fearlessly disembarked from the shore. What gave them courage was two full-sized soldiers. There are 4000 teams of axe-wielding infantry, [-] teams of double-axe infantry, [-] teams of flying-axe cavalry, and [-] teams of Norscan war mastiffs (poisoned) with more than [-] troops.

Zhang Hao quickly adjusted his strategy, and the large army retreated to the high ground. The original trenches were filled with gunpowder, and then all the dry tree trunks were piled on top of them. The arc-shaped direction delays the time for the enemy to attack from the forest. The forest entrances of the new position are all inserted with small wooden sticks from the outside to the inside to prevent the enemy cavalry from rushing out of the forest. To be honest, Zhang Hao looked at the Norsemen with their heads surging on the shore , Regret transporting Marienburg's reserves and the like back to Altdorf, now it is more chance of winning with one more person.

Zhang Hao equipped his throne with a horse, and assembled with the Lieyang Knights.All the long-range troops were counting ammunition on a hill two people high. The melee troops were lined up tightly in two rows. The giant swords were inserted diagonally forward on the ground, and the sword surface protected the whole body. But the strange thing was that the giant swordsmen in the first row were There are stones half the height of a human leg under their feet, some of them are wood, all of them are neatly arranged, and they don't know their function.

Zhang Hao looked at the Northmen who started to advance towards him in the distance, and seemed a little nervous. There were too many enemies.Zhang Hao took the knight's spear and put on the Solar Knight's mask. Zhang Hao knew that everyone needed to boost their morale again.

"Everyone! You exist to protect the country! To protect the homeland! To protect the family! Now is the time for you to perform your duties!! In the name of protection, we will be invincible!!"

"Invincible!!"

"For the Empire! For Sigma!"

"For the Empire!! For Sigma!!" Although many people still don't know what Sigma is, it doesn't prevent them from shouting along.

The trench line is the furthest range of cannons and tanks, and the wooden sign in front of the forest periphery is the shooting range of musketeers and crossbowmen.

When the artillery shells hit the trench with a "boom!" and ignited a blazing fire, the second war began.

With the target line and knowing that there are a steady stream of enemies behind the line, the artillerymen only need to keep reloading and shooting!That's it, very mindless.The speeding shells precisely smashed into the black phalanx of the Norse people, blowing up huge pits, and the ignited dead wood in the trench ignited choking blue smoke, rendering the entire trench direction into a cloud of mist. .

"Woooooooo!" Zhang Hao's car and the entire Knights of the Burning Sun began to move forward slowly. The eyes of each war horse were covered to prevent them from being frightened and turning the knights over.

"Scorchers! Last time in Altdorf, you washed away the shame of traitors! Now is the time to reproduce your glory! If someone asks me! Your Highness, what is glory? Then let me! Prince of the Empire! Roald The heirs of the family tell you that protecting is glory! Protecting your lover! Protecting your family! Protecting this country!! This is what it means to be a knight. Come on, follow in my footsteps, even if you die, your name will be engraved in the Temple of Sigma , is admired by the world!! This is the glory you deserve!!" With the blessing of Eckbard, the entire Sun Knights once again shone with divine brilliance. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just remember it.Every time they charge in the future, the knights will know why they are fighting, so they have no fear in their hearts!Every time the horn is sounded, the knights know who they are fighting for, so they are fearless!
Zhang Hao brought new life to the Knights of the Sun, letting them understand that protection is glory!And the first teaching of Sigma - guardianship, is also introduced to the ears of the world for the first time. Dare to protect because of love, and obtain the highest glory because of guardianship, so for love!Soldiers will be fearless!
