Proof of the Sun King

Chapter 286: , The Battle of Helmgart (middle)

The army of the Empire was in a hurry, and many soldiers were not ready for battle.

The Elector Umberto immediately realized in a hurry that the plan they had negotiated before had failed, and the army of Kasfann had already descended the mountain ahead of schedule!

"Go forward! Knights of Brittany! Shred the enemy! For the lady!" Kasvann stood in the army formation and roared at his army.

The knights blew their horns, the horses moved their hooves, the knights formed a lance and prepared to charge the imperial army, the serf archers drew their short bows, and the rockets and ordinary arrows were scattered from the cloth. The Litanian army spilled out and roared towards the imperial army.

Many imperial swordsmen and pikemen were hit by a large number of arrows, and dozens of soldiers fell immediately.

In the face of the sudden attack, the army of the Empire seemed a little flustered. They pushed each other, the formation was chaotic, and they were looking for each other's preparations. They were caught off guard by the knights of Brittany.

Seeing that the morale of the imperial army was unstable for a while, Kath Vann showed a satisfied expression.

This is what he needs.

After Kasfann held a military meeting, the battle-hardened duke immediately realized that the imperial army would not only stay on the defensive, but would instead take the initiative to attack, because Karl Franz had this need.

And if the confrontation lasts for a long time, the situation will be harmful to the emperor, he must take the initiative to attack, otherwise the army from Kath Vann will be able to get enough time to rest.

Cass Vann immediately judged that the empire would launch an attack early this morning, so the Duke asked the Prophet of the Lake God to cast a large-scale magical technique—Goddess Mist. Relying on the cover of the mist, the army entered the battlefield and waited for the ground. To the Imperial troops still crossing the river.

The knights quickly broke through the first column of the imperial army. Those weak crossbowmen and pikemen were attacked by the knights before they could react. The first column was quickly broken, and the ranger knights of Brittany used The lance quickly broke through the defenses of the imperial army.

"Oh no!"

"Help!"

"Ahhh!"

The morale of several infantry battalions and crossbowmen in the first array of the Imperial Army collapsed under the onslaught of the knights. They screamed and fled. If the ranger knights pursued at this time, a massacre would be formed.

It's just that the knights of the rangers received the order of the duke in advance and did not pursue these rout soldiers, they rushed directly towards the second line of the imperial army.

According to Kath Vann's idea, the knights should take this opportunity to point directly at the central army. As long as they can break the front of the empire, victory will come.

The situation on the battlefield disappointed Kasfann. Although the imperial army was a bit chaotic, the commanding ability of the Elector Umberto was not easy. After the great elector reacted, he immediately commanded the imperial army. Regroup, launch a counterattack.

Rickland and Aiweiland are the first two richest provinces in the empire. These armies are the direct line of the emperor and the elector. They reacted immediately after a short period of stunned. The troops below formed several fronts.

At the call of the elector, the well-trained imperial army still quickly formed formations, the musketeers formed three rows, the crossbowmen and archers formed a front, and launched towards the galloping Breton army. attack.

"Bang bang bang~" A row of musketeers fired a salvo at the knights, and the lead bullets shot out a barrage, and the knights at the front instantly fell dozens of times. Backing up, the remaining musketeers stepped up immediately.

But this did not form any deterrent to the knights of Brittany. The ranger knights shouted the name of the fairy in the lake, galloped the battlefield, swept everything, and the first column of the imperial army was completely overwhelmed by the ranger knights.

"Kill! The lady gives us strength and protection!" The remaining serf infantry regiment rushed into the army of the Empire under the leadership of the sergeant, and the tragic hand-to-hand battle began, although the quality of the serf infantry regiment in Brittany was not as good as The imperial army, but when the array was broken, the imperial army could only get into a dogfight with the serf infantry.

"The lady protects me!!" A serf infantry stabbed a spear into the chest of an imperial spearman, but then his arm was cut off by the imperial swordsman next to him.

"Suffer to death! Mudbloods across the mountain!" The imperial officer tried his best to recover, but he immediately found himself surrounded by a tide of serf infantry.

Several spears pierced his chest and stomach, and then a lance from a knight pierced his body from behind.

The first line of the Imperial Army began to rout.

The halberdiers united into a tight line, and the sharp halberds were lined up in several rows. Although the ranger knights of Brittany rushed into the second line again, they were already at the end of their power, like arrows like locusts. The barrage of arrows and muskets caused the Ranger knights to fall.

More than 200 pistol cavalrymen and pioneer cavalrymen flashed out from the flanks of the imperial army. These troops were composed of the academies of the Nuer Gun Academy and the children of nobles. In the empire, all nobles put military merit first, and most Most of the children of the great nobles will be sent to Brunswick University or Noor University to study, and many children of the nobles will enter the pistol cavalry regiment, looking forward to being recognized and able to become a formal knight.

The pioneer cavalry is the leader of the pistol cavalry, these people are also known as the imperial dragoons, they lead the pistol cavalry, riding horses, with fancy beards, wearing all kinds of bright clothes and fashionable hats, From the back of the Imperial Army formation.

There was only one chance, because the pistol cavalry could not have the opportunity to reload in front of the Breton knights, so when the pistol cavalry approached the Breton army a little, the leader of the pioneer cavalry commander immediately shouted Said: "Prepare! Shoot!"

"Fire!" The hordes of pistol cavalry and pioneer cavalrymen raised their muskets, and in the twilight of the early morning, there was a thunderous salvo on the battlefield.

"Bang Bang~~" Although only one salvo can be made, this salvo still achieved unimaginable good results. The Brittanian Ranger Knights who were fighting hard in the second line collapsed more than 100 in an instant. A barrage of bullets came from the side, and the Brittanian knights who were not in a hurry suffered heavy losses from this attack. Many of the knights' mounts were hit by lead bullets, and they fell off their horses and were captured on the spot.

The pistols and pioneer cavalrymen fought and ran, and these light cavalry quickly disappeared behind the Imperial lines.

"For the Empire! For Charlemagne! Hold on!" The elector Umberto shouted angrily. The elector's holy sword "Mother of Destruction" exuded aura in the darkness of the early morning. The morale of the imperial soldiers was shocked. The Cavaliers blocked the second line.

"Fight! Destroy the knights on the opposite side of the mountain! Victory belongs to the empire! For Charlemagne!" Under the command of the Elector Umberto, the great swordsmen entered the battlefield. Found an opportunity to shoot.

Cannons roared, ploughing deep trenches in the Brittanian army.

The Hellstorm Bazooka is made from single-barrel rockets mounted on vehicles and vehicle racks. These rockets are loaded with a large amount of black powder, and are attached to carts after elaborate fins and rocket ejection devices by Imperial Engineers.

"Prepare! Launch!" Herman, an imperial engineer from the Noor Gun Academy, raised his hand: "Let it go!"

"咻咻咻~" Seven or eight rocket launchers shot into the sky. They performed a splendid fireworks display in the sky of Helmgart, and then fell into the marching army of Brittany.

Destructive blasts swept through the Brittanian army formations, and the ground shaking and roaring swept through all enemies, and large groups of serf infantry were killed instantly by the bombardment of Hellstorm rocket packs.

The serf infantry in Brittany began to have unstable morale. Many serfs screamed and retreated. Groups of knights and knights began to show their defeat. They began to retreat and try to regroup.

However, the poor accuracy of the Hellstorm Bazooka also had consequences. Even though the engineers of the Empire had worked hard to calibrate the accuracy of the Bazooka, two bazookas had also fallen into the Imperial army.

The explosion blew up the imperial people themselves, and the imperial swordsmen who were commanding the defense were bombarded by their own people, causing heavy casualties and shaking the array.

Cass Vann, who was in the middle of the army, finally waited for this opportunity.

After entering the battlefield, Kathvann discovered that the Empire's most elite half-griffon knights, the Rick Guard and the Emperor himself were not in the Imperial army.

Obviously, Emperor Karl Franz could not escape, so he must have led his elite to leave temporarily, or even planned to attack his own army. Kasfann believed that there was no reason for the emperor to not know that there was such a big war under Mount Doom. , so he must completely defeat the Elector Umberto and the imperial army before Karl Franz leads the elite back!

Kath Vann turned his head calmly: "Canel!"

"Yes!" The Duke's lieutenant, Count Carnell, nodded, and he raised his lance: "Knights! In the name of the lady, we will go to the Empire to fight. In the name of the lady, we have fought so hard. Now, let us A fatal blow to the Imperials!"

Three hundred kingdom knights, forty Pegasus knights responded loudly: "For the lady! For Britannia!"

This is the most elite force in the Kasvann army. The duke left this force at the end. Now, the knights of the kingdom will shout the name of the goddess and crush all enemies!

"go ahead!!!"

The lances formed by the knights of the kingdom swept across the field like a storm, and they turned into a hurricane of death. The knights of the kingdom wearing crowns and gorgeous smocks were reticent, but the shock they burst out Force will be stubbornly defeated the imperial army in one fell swoop.

The storm formed by the kingdom knights swept the second formation of the imperial army. Even the halberd spear formation could not resist the group charge of the kingdom knights. Count Carnell pinpointed a weak point in the imperial army that had just caused chaos, and he took the lead. , lanced through an imperial captain.

The strength of the knights of the Kingdom of Brittany instantly changed the balance of victory and defeat.

Count Carnell pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and cut an imperial swordsman into two pieces with one stroke. Then, a torrent of iron and steel swept the entire battlefield. Pegasus knights swept through the low sky, rolled up the imperial soldiers, and crushed them. into pieces.

The second line of the Imperial Army began to collapse after the charge of the kingdom's knights. Elector Umberto and his electoral guards, the Golden Fleece Knights and the Great Swordsmen, finally appeared in Brittany. In front of the demihuman, the Elector ordered the Great Swordsmen Corps to enter the battlefield, barely stabilizing the situation.

At this time, the sky had already begun to brighten, and the time had entered the early morning from the early morning. In the cold weather, the imperial army was still fighting hard against the army of Brittany. Any attempt to reorganize the army had failed, and only Under the melee smoke.

Kasfann knew that in terms of the battle situation, his army was currently in the upper hand. Relying on the numerical superiority of knights and the impact of the group, the imperial army was temporarily at a disadvantage.

Yes, only temporarily, Kath Vann knows that his army looks slightly better at the moment, but the serfs and sergeants are already starting to wear out, and the knights have to get entangled with the imperial army after the charge. Fighting, the number of knights in the kingdom is too small, it is still very difficult to kill the elector of Umberto~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Kasfann knows that he can't pin his hopes on the serf infantry and sergeants. In hand, because the quality of Brittany's infantry is definitely not as good as that of the imperial army, it is still able to hold on, because the imperial army has been shaken by relying on the group attack of the knights. Once Emperor Karl Franz led the knights If they come back, they will fail.

The Duke of Palaon was hesitating. In addition to an infantry regiment of 1,000 people to guard against the emperor's surprise attack, he also had a reserve of 200 knights and 1,500 infantry.

Is this reserve team going into battle now?

Casvin was a little hesitant. If the reserves were all put into battle, then it would be a big gamble that he could defeat Umberto and his Knights of the Golden Fleece before the emperor returned to help, but Umberto elected the emperor. Hou is a sanctuary powerhouse who has experienced a great holy war. Kasfann knows that his strength is not as good as him, and the odds of winning this gamble are not very big.

The Duke of Palaon was still hesitating, but in the imperial army formation, Umberto Corleone, the elector of Tuscany, was completely calm, and the bearded elector nodded: "Although it is not the same as imagined, But Kasfann took the initiative to attack, Karl Franz's goal has been achieved."

"Now, it's time for the knights of Brittany to see the power of our empire." Umberto waved his hand, and engineers from the Noor School of Guns and the Royal Academy of Engineering in Brunswick expressed their understanding.

The situation on the battlefield changed suddenly. From the middle army of the empire, the five giant steel beasts finally showed their fangs and huge stature. Driven by the compressed steam in the roaring pressure boiler, the steel beasts rolled huge wheels. , spit out the white smoke of steam, and plunged into the battlefield.

The empire finally showed its trump card in this war.
