Vol 3 Chapter 45: Night Attack (Part 2)

Artillery, a battlefield weapon that was praised as a "God of War" by a genius military after many years, was recognized by Europeans after lessons.
From the time of the distant Mongolian invasion, the Mongols brought this terrible weapon from the far east to Europe, and then the fortified castles collapsed in front of it, and then more than half a century ago, Constantine The capital city of Tinburg, which will never be captured, was completely conquered by the giant Ottoman artillery. This terrible weapon was once a nightmare for Europeans.
Later, the Europeans began to manufacture and use such weapons. When the slamming continued, the hot flames ejected powerful projectiles from the muzzle, and then they were in the enemy ’s solid wall or dense soldiers. When the explosion exploded, the Europeans experienced the shock and joy of this powerful weapon.
Because of this, when Charlie decided to invade Italy, in addition to gathering enough troops, he deliberately collected more than 100 artillery pieces of various sizes from all over the world as an important bargaining chip for this expedition. Even in an era where this technology is still lagging behind, artillery has shown its unique charm due to its huge power.
Alexander believed that the French had artillery in the army of Lombardy, and that the coalition commanded by Gonzalo had artillery. Even he had seen that although there were not many, but still frightening artillery was placed on the walls of Rome, But he never imagined that he would be attacked by artillery on the bank of Lake Bracciano on such a night!
And just when Alexander was too late to make a second exclaim due to this accident, the enemy that had been prepared by the trees in the distance before the roaring echo of the first artillery had not disappeared, had already followed the cry from the night. The camp hurried over.
Alexander jumped over the low wall, and when his feet fell to the ground, his feet slipped slightly, but no one from the soldiers next to him helped him. Everyone was frightened by the unusual sound of the cannon, and many people did not even look at it. The enemies running towards them, but looked back at the wrecked wreckage in the camp behind them.
"Guard the position!" A roar came from somewhere far away from the low wall, and the rich experience of the mercenaries finally proved that the high price paid for them was indeed worth it!
With this cry, the frightened Aggris recovered, and turned their heads to look at the enemies who were about to rush to the short wall. Many people could not help but make a panic cry.
"The Musketeer! Prepare!"
No one knows who was the first person to shout this command, but when he heard this shout, the previous training effect showed up, even if he could only see the front shaking in the snow, The shadow of the indefiniteness, the Agri Musketeers were still accustomed to picking up their weapons in accordance with the training steps. With the command of "preparation! Let go ~" already used to, the short wall sprayed out immediately A piece of smoke with different density,
A few soldiers who rushed to the front because they ran too quickly fell to the ground. They tumbling in the snow painfully, but apart from tripping a few companions who were too late to dodge, no one controlled them. People desperately rushed towards the low wall.
"Prepare ~!" A mercenary shouted while waving his spear. He didn't actually use a spear, but now he was huddled with these Agris and had to pick up a spear to protect him like they did For himself, because otherwise, there may be a gap where he stands, and the enemy will immediately rush to the gap where he is like a shark.
In order to survive, everyone can only face the enemy head on.
As Alexander said, anyone's escape is throwing his own share of the danger to others.
Deserters will not be allowed at any time!
The enemies rushing across were only blocked by muskets for a short moment, and then the people behind rushed up.
Alexander's eyes stared nervously ahead, but his goal was not the enemy who was rushing in front of him, but the woods in the distance.
Artillery that can hit the camp directly without being discovered can only be hidden in the woods not far away,
Alexander remembered that when he looked back from the shock of the shelling, he saw a cloud of smoke rising from the edge of the woods in the distance, which made him for the first time glad that it was in winter.
The cold weather keeps the smoke from the artillery fire for a long time, which also makes it easier to find the location of the artillery.
The cavalry passing by on both sides pulled the attention of the Agri people on both sides of the low wall. Just as the attention of many Agri soldiers could not help being dragged by their figure back and forth, the enemy finally rushed to the low wall!
The first enemy who slashed the opposite spear with a knife to avoid the sharp gun pointed out a surprise not knowing whether it was the rest of his life, or an exclamation of excitement because he could kill the enemy. After swinging the first knife Immediately raising his hands like a pagan scimitar in his hands, he believed that before cutting off the head of the enemy who had been scared, the opponent's firearm could not shoot for a second time, because this world I have not heard of any kind of firearm that can shoot twice in such a short time.
This person's thinking is not bad, even Alexander's flintlock can't reload and launch again in such a short time!
But there are obviously exceptions to all things. These sneak attackers who are eager to rush to fight the enemy have not noticed. Unlike their partners, those musketeers often have a companion behind them, when the musketeers struggle to shoot , They stood behind, and when they took over the muskets fired by their companions, they would hand over the muskets that had been installed to their former partners, and then lowered their heads and silently reloaded the ammunition.
The muzzle of the pungent sulfur smell almost directly against the stolen chest that had escaped the spear and was preparing to hack the enemy! The second shot was fired!
The man saw his knife thrown high, and his man was hit in the chest and fell backwards. When he first hit the person behind him, he was pushed to the side and stuck in the snow. When he was shaking, he seemed to see that there were other people like him, who were shot in the face by this sudden second shot and fell to the ground one after another.
It turned out that it was n’t just me who was so unlucky. This person was lying in the snow and wanted to laugh. If he was shot without seeing someone, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, but now he thinks it ’s nothing. After all, he ’s not the only one to die. But it ’s just that he did n’t understand. He clearly avoided the opponent ’s musket and stab spear, but how could he still be killed?
Why is it that you are unlucky?
Because there are many people who are not willing to die, but more people are lucky not only to avoid the first round of muskets and sharp spears, but also the second round of unexpected shooting.
The brutal shortcomings start!
Face to face, looking at each other, the weapon in his hand slashed to the enemy in front of him!
Across the low wall, the weapons of the two sides are intertwined, the slashing noises of the two sides are mixed together, and even the bodies of the two sides are condensed together by the plasma splashed by the enemy's sword, and the semi-arc-shaped protective wall surrounding the camp becomes the of death The territory where the loot was harvested, from left to right, was screamed from time to time, or it ended up retreating because it could not face the terrible scene.
"Guard the front!" A leader of the Agri soldiers shouted loudly, trying to encourage the morale of his companions who had shown fear, but he undoubtedly made himself a good target, and several blades beheaded him at a time. In just a blink of an eye, this Agri man has been cut into flesh and cut into a blood man.
"They can't hold it!" A man wearing a cloak stood on the edge of the woods and screamed with joy, his voice even unbelievable.
After all, this Gumbre had defeated the French. Although no one had really seen his move on the battlefield, the people who could defeat the French army were always a little intimidating.
What's more, there are so many soldiers around him. If you don't already know their route, you are ready to ambush. Even if you have to carry the artillery to carry out the attack, you may not get it so easily. victory.
But that Gumbre did n’t matter too. After all, it took only a shot to completely scare his mud legs from Naples. Looking at their stupid looks, the man even wanted to laugh.
"Rush up, they will be unable to withstand it!" The man shouted loudly, "Don't let them escape!"
The man stood by the artillery and shouted excitedly to his hands on the bank of the river. No matter whether the Gombré had an empty name, at least he and not someone else defeated him on the shore of Lake Bracciano, which was enough for him to I am proud of myself. Although this pride cannot be told openly to others, it is enough for him to be appreciated by adults. After all, he defeated a guy who had defeated the French.
What's more, this Gombley army is not without resistance, but even with a seemingly powerful cavalry.
The man imagined for himself the good luck this victory might bring him, and then he suddenly frowned as if he felt something was wrong, but for a time he could not remember what went wrong.
The man turned his head suspiciously and looked at the artillery around him. This is an eagle gun that is much smaller than other artillery. The rough-looking gun pointed straight at the camp far away. A solid bullet directly hit the tent in the camp, and it was also the terrible roar when it fired. Once it came up, it completely shocked the soldiers of Gombray.
"Is the cannonball loaded?" The man suddenly asked anxiously, he didn't know what was wrong, but suddenly he began to become uneasy. "Two more artillery shots in the camp, I will kill the Gombray!" "
"Master, our people are still underneath," the gunner said a little anxiously. "It may hurt our people by mistake."
"Just fire a gun into the camp," the man urged hard, and he didn't know why he was a little irritable, although some people behind the low wall saw the back of the camp because they couldn't resist, and their own people He started to climb along and prepared to cross the low wall to charge the enemy again, but the uneasiness in his heart was still difficult to shake off. "I want to end this as soon as possible."
The gunner nodded quickly. He knew what the consequences would be if he was annoyed by this person. Besides, the shells had already been installed. Although the gun body had shifted a little bit just now, as long as it was pointed in the direction, it should not be very difficult to hit the camp difficult.
The gunner buried the medicine twist in the raised bolt, and after pressing hard, he raised the torch.
"Wait a minute, let me come!" The man suddenly stopped, and then took the torch from the gunner's hand, his eyes flashed with excitement. "I want you to testify, this is what I did."
The gunner nodded obediently, and when he stepped back two steps to avoid the medicine residue that might be splashed by the bombardment, a strange crushing sound suddenly came from the edge of the woods.
It was a weird sound like a squeaky squeak that sounded like a big heavy thing when it was squeezing and rubbing. It sounded very uncomfortable, and it made people feel inexplicably disturbed.
The torch in the man's hand stopped, and he followed the sound to look into the distance of the woods. When he saw that he was running towards them quickly along the edge of the woods, the man finally knew why he had that kind of inexplicable before. Feeling uneasy.
Cavalry, no bohemian cavalry has been seen since the battle started!
The late-night sneak attacks and the first use of artillery were intended to prevent the Bohemians from exerting their cavalry power.
The battle of Alexander in the Bruini Valley first deterred the French and most of the Roman nobles in the city of Rome, all because of this already famous Bohemian cavalry.
Therefore, at the beginning of the development, the loss of the Bohemian cavalry became the key to success, but now, the Bohemian cavalry suddenly appeared, and it appeared behind his team, with the man holding The torch, but now completely frozen.
"master!"
A man finally couldn't help but shouted ~ EbookFREE.me ~ When he reached out and grabbed the man hard, the movement seemed to suddenly touch his nerves that had been completely paralyzed by accident.
"Turn over!" The man shouted insanely, holding a torch in one hand and the other with his shoulders to push the artillery that was tampered with a few stones on the ground, while several people around him couldn't help Roaring, "Turn over and kill them!"
A group of people rushed to turn the artillery, but they did not see the gunner but kept going back. When they shouted and moved the gun body, the gunner suddenly turned back and went crazy towards the depths of the dark woods. Running up.
"Boom ~"
A roar sounded from behind, and the snow on the branches was shaken down one after another. The gunner seemed to hear a scream of the war horse and the cry of the rider before he died, but he did not stop at his feet. He ran faster, and soon after the edge of the woods a whistle of horror followed by dense horseshoes, followed by screams after another.
