Vol 3 Chapter 127: Legend begins

When the first loud noise rang out, everyone was shocked by the accident, and the continuous sound of gunfire made the two sides of the hills turn their attention to Apio Mountain.
To the surprise of both sides, with the sound of gunfire, a large cloud of smoke instantly rose on the open slopes of Rocca di Pas, and a large piece of mud splashed with a stone bomb, which was originally inclined However, the evenly spreading hillsides were full of pits and craters.
The two sides of the hillside, which were originally gathering to prepare for the attack, were suddenly stunned by the sudden shelling.
From the trebuchet used by the ancient Romans to siege the city, to the half-century ago when Muhammad II smashed the massive cannons of Constantinople ’s city walls, the power of projecting weapons has become more and more powerful. People are terrified, artillery has undoubtedly become the most terrible weapon of this era.
However, with the terrible damage caused by this powerful weapon, another headache problem can never be solved, that is, the accuracy of the artillery, the operation of the artillery based entirely on experience, its purity is not only completely incompetent with Compared with the crossbow, the near-strange trajectory of the artillery and the ejection effect of the projectile that jumped after the shot made many people feel awe at the same time.
It ’s hard to imagine what a powerful stone projectile might be like in a densely formed queue, or no one wants to think about this terrible assumption at all, not to mention that these projectiles will still follow inertia after being hit. The ground jumped and jumped, and the power of this gunpowder shot by the power of gunpowder was definitely not armor, nor was the flesh and body able to resist.
So when I saw the shells actually falling on the open space between the two sides, watching the dusty, bumpy land, the two sides, which were slowly approaching, could not help but slow down the pace.
Seeing that the armies that were already on the string and could collide and fight together at any time became a lot quieter, a little smile appeared on Alexander's face standing on the hillside.
The loud sound still echoed on the hillside, and the trembling recoil of the bronze artillery instantly made many people on the hillside shake.
Carlo's figure appeared in front. When he bypassed the muzzles that were still smoking, he looked at these terrible weapons and his face was very unsightly. Although he also used a musket to naturally understand the power of the firearm, but when he saw it with his own eyes By the roar of this huge beast, Carlo was still scared by these monsters.
But Carlo immediately yelled at the Agri who were also frightened by the power of artillery shooting. Looking at the following coalition team that seemed to have found something wrong and was turning around quickly, he carefully commanded to let the soldiers They gave way to what seemed to be some terrible artillery, while urging them to quickly form a formation.
And beside Alexander, the coalition artillery who had not run away and had just been forced to shoot by him also looked at Alexander with a blank smile with both hands covering his ears.
Although the artillery industry hasn't grown up yet, it is at least similar to the archer, so these artillery soldiers often get orders that must be accurate, only this one suddenly captured them, so far I don't know where it is The enemy generals who came, asked them to do "no permission".
Today's artillery, it is not easy to hit, it is too simple to want to hit. At least that large area of ​​empty land, wherever the blind man is not aiming at it, can hit anywhere. It's just that it's simple, but it's a problem how to ensure that it can continue.
Looking at a group of coalition forces that had begun to advance uphill, Alexander clutched his sword hilt. This would be his first official confrontation with a war.
Compared with the battle here, although the battle in the Bruini Valley is fierce, it is still within its grasp, but here, watching the Yamashita team interlace and cross the Mercedes-Benz team, Alexander has a fate The feeling that I can't control it by myself.
If you are not only commanding more than 200 Agris, but thousands, or even tens of thousands of troops, maybe this is not the case.
Alexander felt a little emotion, but he knew that it could only be emotion, not to mention that there were no tens of thousands of people to command him, even if there is such an army now, he ca n’t afford to support the limited territory of Agri. ,unless……
A horn awakened Alexander, and he shook his head to expel those confused thoughts from his mind, and then watched closely the movement of the mountain.
Although the unexpected sudden fire of the artillery disrupted the pace of both sides, and it seems that some people have noticed the strangeness on Mount Apio, Alexander is not panic because he knows that even if the strangeness is found on the battlefield, it is impossible for so many troops Turning around together, you can really change your direction in time to fight against yourself, and only the wing team of the coalition who was almost taken by Pagasos before the Yamashita team.
Thinking of Pagasos, Alexander couldn't help but look back into the woods behind. When he saw the endless Pagasos still lying on the back of the mother horse, even the sound of artillery was ignored, The corner of his mouth twitched.
Just thinking that this is the last time he has enjoyed this kind of good deed in his life, Alexander will not be so generous with his generosity.
Another horn came and the coalition under the mountain began to ascend. It was clear that the officer who led the team clearly understood the importance of Mount Apio to the coalition. Although it turned out that the number of enemies occupying the mountain seemed to be high, all The artillery fell in the hands of the enemy, which is absolutely not allowed.
The soldier who walked in the front pointed the spear in his hand flatly forward, although doing so in the face of the artillery was purely meaningless, but if you think about the huge roar, there are still shots that can be seen from a distance. The large dust rising from the land made the soldiers feel cold.
The pace seemed a bit stiff, and what was worse was that I did n’t know what was about to face. The coalition soldiers kept breathing heavily. When they finally reached the half-waist on the hillside, the rapid horseshoes on the reached their ears. The coalition soldiers were inexplicably relaxed. It seemed that they never thought the enemy cavalry would be so kind.
At least, no need to face artillery or anything terrible.
This was the first thought flashed in the minds of the coalition soldiers, and then they heard the bursts of muskets mixed with the horseshoes of the cavalry.
Carlo urged the horses to keep running in front. He had seen the edge of the coalition ranks. It was a company composed of six or more ranks. The team consisting of infantry spread to the hillside. On the hills farther away, two teams of cavalry are running down the mountain along the rough road.
Carlo took his cavalry closer to the enemy again. He held the saber in one hand, his blade close to the leg, and the other hand pressed tightly against a musket hanging from his waist.
Carlo quickly looked back, and then found with satisfaction that the Bohemians were still behind him, and with the Bohemians, the hunting guard sent by Alexander.
The enemy seemed to be aware of the cavalry's intentions. Some of the rows of infantry that were closest to the edge had already been turned around with orders to prepare to form a formation. Carlo saw a smile on his face when he saw this.
Hunting guards, the earliest guard cavalry composed of a group of real hunters, although Paul Busako is the captain of the hunting guards, but he often stays beside Alexander to protect the lord at any time.
And Carlo, not only the earliest Agri people who followed Alexandria, but more importantly, he was also the most powerful among those hunters.
Although he wasn't used to using muskets immediately, Carlo had a good teacher.
Nashan ’s near-genius mastery of cavalry allowed him to effortlessly even with a large group of bohemian cavalry known for his unruly nature, and Carlo learned deeply from Nashan ’s study at this point.
The musket was quickly pulled out of the specially made holster, and Carlo also blew the whistle in his mouth.
A sharp whistle sounded, and at the same time several soldiers behind him heard the whistle.
With this whistle, the hunting guards who were constantly running along the edge of the enemy queue raised their guns, and then pulled the trigger.
The white plume of smoke erupted in front of the running cavalry, and then the hunting guards passed by quickly not far from the coalition.
As they ran incessantly, several screams made when they were hit by muskets immediately sounded in the coalition queue.
The right wing of the coalition queue couldn't help because the sudden attack was stagnation, and the entire queue suddenly tilted to the side.
"what happened?"
The commander of the coalition army on the left of the queue looked at the other side of the long queue in amazement. He could see the enemy cavalry vaguely running, and heard the sound of guns, but he did not combine the two.
In this era, war horses and muskets are still two things that have little to do with each other. Because muskets not only need to ignite the musket, but also prevent the musket from accidentally extinguishing when it is burning, so at least no one has thought of cavalry running. The method of shooting on the battlefield.
The captain's question was answered after only a short while, but the answer to him was that despite the unevenness of the second round, it was already obvious that the gun was shooting.
The right wing of the coalition queue was delayed further because of the accidental attack. At this time, this queue has even become the left wing standing on the hillside, and the right wing is dragged far behind, originally facing the top of the mountain. The coalition forces unconsciously became a long column.
The sound of the third round of muskets also sounded. The coalition commander ’s face became ugly and unbelievable. Of course he knew about muskets. Although he did n’t like this new weapon that seemed to be threatening cold weapons, he still understood the horror of muskets. power.
But even in this way, he has never seen a musket that can be run and shot immediately, nor even a weapon that can shoot so quickly.
The enemy cavalry is still tangling around the right wing, but the captain knows that his team is in trouble. He cannot give up the right wing and continue to advance, but the artillery on the mountain must be recaptured.
When pulling the fourth musket from the waist holster, Carlo saw that the coalition cavalry who had rushed down the mountain had finally rushed to the foot of the mountain and started running up the slope.
Carlo turned his horse's head, they were on top, and the enemy cavalry was going uphill.
Carlo took a deep breath. Although the previous attacks on the enemy infantry excite him, he is now nervous about the cavalry.
Then he blew his whistle!
The hunting guards pulled out the last musket they carried with them. Each of them carried four flintlocks and sabers, and Alexander gave them the command to focus on fire and fire as much as possible.
Flintlocks that do not need to be ignited in advance have not appeared in this era, nor are there musketeers capable of shooting immediately, and musketeers with four flintlocks on hand are unheard of.
Carlo started to urge the horses, he did not forget that Alexander said to him that the cavalry was frightening at speed, so do n’t be entangled with the enemy easily, but looking at the shiny cavalry, Carlo looked at the hunting guard behind him. With the Bohemians, he felt he had another chance.
The hunting guards started to move forward along the right wing of the coalition infantry. When the infantry had to turn in the right direction with their figure, they were surprised to find that this time the enemy never stopped, but kept moving along their own queue. , And then rushed directly to the back of their queue in the pursuit of the already approaching coalition cavalry!
"What is he going to do?"
A knight who had already run up the hillside looked at him completely disregarding their arrival, almost the team of cavalry with their backs facing them. They seemed that almost no one was wearing armor. Such a cavalry could not and would not dare to go Shocked infantry that had already formed, even if they were already behind the infantry queue, but as long as they were caught in the entanglement with the infantry, with their unprotected body, they would be poked into the screen by the infantry spear .
What's more, his cavalry has already caught up, and the captain believes that his cavalry's power can certainly teach those enemies that look sloppy.
The captain raised his spear high, which was a signal of attack.
The coalition cavalry began to accelerate, and the captain believed that as long as those enemies dared to attack the infantry, even if it was only a little stumbling, he would be sure to catch up with the enemy and then cut them all into pieces.
It was getting closer and closer, and the enemy was still stubbornly advancing towards the rear of the infantry. The captain's eyes fell under the brim of the helmet and he smiled. He knew he would make a contribution.
Then he heard the sound of muskets.
Although it is dense, it is not neat. The sound of muskets does not sound very loud. It should be just the sound of short guns.
This was the result of the captain in an instant. Although he was surprised by the sound of the gunshot, he did not have the projectile that was on the face as expected, so he only immediately urged the horse to continue to chase after a short meal.
But he soon saw the infantry attacked by the enemy.
Many soldiers were hit by muskets, and some wounds still showed burnt marks, which was the result when they were shot at close range, while more soldiers were hit by sabers.
Relying on the speed of light riding and the sharpness of the muskets, the hunter guards and Bohemians led by Carlo rushed over the right wing of the infantry before the arrival of the coalition cavalry, and then the enemy's nose hair was almost visible in the near ~ www.mtlnovel .com ~ Whirled along the back of the enemy queue and launched a whirlwind attack.
Musketeers, sabers, but the instantaneous attack of stones thrown into the water caused the infantry to tremble like waves, and then the whistle in Carlo's mouth made a whistle that made the coalition infantry tremble.
Releasing the speed of the war horse and running forward in desperation, under the chase of the enemies behind, Carlo led the cavalry hurriedly along the enemy infantry to the left edge of the hillside.
The enemy cavalry chased behind, but Carlo was not worried because he led the light cavalry!
Almost in the nearly crazy roar of the infantry captain, Carlo took his cavalry through the edge of the enemy's left wing. He ran along the toward the side of Mount Apio, and at the same time he vaguely saw the hillside woods stretched out. Out of the rows of muzzles.
Carlo smiled, he knew he had completed the task.
The speed of the war horse, the sharpness of the saber, and the great power of the musket, the legend of the hunting guard began on the Apio mountain outside the city of Rome.
