Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

386 The source of all fear is insufficient firepower

The impact of the Witch King on Milin's army was not as great as the impact of the mammoth war elephants. However, under the command of Attila, the Darahan cavalry did not rush up directly and were killed by these mammoth war elephants like the Rohan escort flag. Instead of stepping on the formation, they directly bypassed the mammoth formation and killed the enemy in the rear like mercury pouring down the ground.

But similarly, these Darahan cavalry did not cause substantial damage to these mammoth war elephants. It was the guards led by Arthur who really achieved results in front of these war elephants.

When the Imperial Guards who were sprinting at high speed passed by these mammoth war elephants, they stabbed their lances hard into the unarmored legs of these mammoth war elephants. Even though their skin was rough and their flesh was thick, they faced the forging of Damascus steel. The tip of the spear is still defenseless.

But what really caused the damage was not the stings that were at most like mosquito bites to the mammoth war elephants, but the ring of things attached to the lance that looked like firecrackers.

...Seriously, those were indeed firecrackers, but their scientific name should be Fire Guns. When placed on these lances, they became Fire Spears.

The method of use is to simply rush over and poke it in. No matter where you poke it, it will "boo".

It is not very powerful and cannot penetrate too strong armor, but it is enough for these elephant legs, and the impact it brings can easily allow the user to pull the lance out of the target's body.

Milin knew that there was such a thing, but he could only give a general idea. It was Gelina, an expert, who really transformed Milin's ideas into practical design solutions.

After all, ideas are ideas and results are results. If the power is too high, it will not only become a one-time use, but also easily cause the user to suffer secondary damage. If the power is too low, it will only make a sound.

Afterwards, Galina used the subsystem left by Gray Wind as a tool to change the weapons of all the Guards Cavalry in just a few days, and also conducted some training.

The training is not too difficult, because the method of using the lance itself has not been changed. This is a gunpowder weapon that belongs to this era.

The exploding gun blasted open gaps of varying sizes in the legs of the mammoth war elephant. The pain-stricken mammoth war elephant swayed wildly from side to side and trampled randomly, trying to trample to death these rats that had gotten through themselves.

But just like the mouse defeating the elephant in the battle of beasts, among the guards who ran away after being exploded, only a few of the guards whose equestrian skills were not so flexible were crushed or knocked away. Most of them scattered to the side and faced the others who had not yet encountered them. This suffering mammoth war elephant.

It didn't take long for the dozen or so mammoth war elephants to fall into chaos because of the pain, which was similar to hitting their toes on the corner of the table or stepping on Lego with bare feet.

The Harlanders who were driving these war elephants tried their best to pull the reins on the elephants' ears, trying to comfort the giant beasts under them.

Before the comfort could take effect, an arrow accurately hit the driver's head. The fallen driver fell off the war elephant together with the reins.

The entire elephant was spinning in circles because of the pain in its ears.

"What a pity..." Milin sighed when he saw that Attila's arrow did not act out the scene of an elephant hitting an elephant in the movie.

After all, these mammoth war elephants are still quite far away from each other. They may be specially guarding the artillery position over Milin.

Thinking of the artillery, Milin looked back at the unmoved position. As expected before the battle began, a group of cavalry rushed out from both wings and rushed towards the artillery position where only Galina was left.

If there is no cavalry force to stop these mammoth war elephants, then what they have to face is a three-sided pincer attack dominated by mammoth war elephants.

Now that the mammoth war elephant is trapped, Galina only needs to deal with the cavalry attacks from both sides.

Seeing the enemy cavalry rushing over from both sides, Galina commanded the hand-propelled artillery team staying in the position.

Under the command of Galina, the golden silhouetted person appeared again and pushed the push cannon into the convoys that had already been arranged on both sides of the position.

Each cannon was just stuck in the two caravans connected end to end.

After settling into position, without any further orders, these hand-propelled cannons fired a volley at the cavalry that rushed over.

Accompanied by the deafening sound of artillery, the solid artillery shells hit the high-speed moving cavalry very accurately.

Even though the bodies of these cavalrymen had been transformed into humanoid shapes by the power outside the curtain, they were directly blown into a ball of blood mist under the concert of steel and gunpowder.

"It's a pity that it can't be loaded with explosives." Looking at the enemy's unabated momentum even after suffering such a precise hit, Galina complained about the hand-propelled cannons produced by these systems.

Facing this kind of cavalry charge, using blooming bullets is much more efficient than solid bullets. Unfortunately, the hand-propelled cannons produced by these systems do not provide a bullet-reloading function.

Knowing that the hand-propelled cannon alone could not completely stop the cavalry, Galina blew the whistle hanging around her neck.

Hearing Galina's whistle, some of the veterans who stayed in the position took out their shields and spare fire spears and walked out of the vehicle formation.

A group of three or five people stood in front of the caravan, setting up a shield wall with their backs against the caravan. At the same time, they placed the fire spear lance, which also had a fire blunderbuss, on the ground and passed through the gap in the shield. Just wait for the other party to hit you.

The remaining people moved boxes one by one from the caravan that had been transformed into an armed vehicle.

Opening the lid of the box, there are rows of neatly arranged black balls inside, with a rope attached.

These black balls with a rope attached are the most classic gunpowder weapons, grenades. This usage existed even before the advent of gunpowder.

However, regardless of whether it contains gunpowder or kerosene, the method used is the same as throwing a hammer, by rotating the rope above to create centrifugal force and throw these explosive things out.

If there is any difference, these explosive hammers are more powerful and safer at the same time.

Using this kind of weapon that should have been used for city defense instead of arrows to deal with these cavalry is really effective because of the puncture wounds caused by the arrows.

(Unfortunately, there was not enough time to load all the arrows with bombs.) After thinking about a better way, Galina visually measured the distance between the enemy cavalry and the position, and blew a short whistle again.

Even amidst the sound of artillery fire, the loud whistle still reached the ears of every soldier. After hearing this order, the grenadiers immediately spun the hammers in their hands several times, and it didn't matter where they landed. Throw it outside.

"Boom..." The enemy cavalry that had just rushed through the nearest firing range of the hand-propelled cannon was immediately attacked by the grenadiers like a carpet bombing.

When they rushed through the smoke, they happened to hit the waiting wall.

A few lucky ones jumped into the position from the middle of the caravan, facing the Guards cavalry that had been waiting on the spot as a reserve force.
