Vol 3 Chapter 128: Closed battlefield

Clumps of horse shadows passed quickly in front of them, and the Agri Musketeers squatting in the woods tensed their lips. Some of them kept mumbling because of their nervousness, while others were Crossed across his chest.
The hunting guard was quickly flashing laterally from the front of the musketeer's position at the edge of the woods. At this time, the heavy cavalry who were catching up with the sound of rumble hoofs could be seen.
Although there was no suffocating horror like the French cavalry, when the shining armor appeared in front of them, the musketeers were still nervous and collapsed.
This is the first time they have truly faced powerful cavalry, and it is the first time to fight enemies in an unprotected field. Just think about the convoys that serve as barriers on Mount Bruini and now they But they could only hide in the woods and re-horse cavalry against the enemies coming, and many Aggris couldn't help but control themselves.
Although wearing armor, the cavalry chasing behind was also very fast. They followed the hunting guards diagonally along the hillside. Although they also noticed the movement of the forest, the hunting guards who were running along the edge of the forest in front were undoubtedly Their biggest goal.
And the knight as captain is also very clear that even if you want to recapture the artillery on the top of the mountain as soon as possible, it is very annoying if there is always a cavalry on the side to interfere, and their role is to drive away the queue of infantry who are climbing the mountain to grab the Nasty enemy cavalry.
"Rush up, don't let them run!" The captain's mask made a dull shout. Of course he knew that the people behind his voice could not hear it, but looking at the cunning hussars in front, he couldn't help it. Urging.
Over here, getting closer and closer, Agrig's muskets were raised one after another, and among them, several barrels, which were obviously thicker than other muskets, seemed to have built wooden supports.
Alexander stood straight on a small open space in the woods, and beside him Paul Busako stared at the enemy who was trying to rush diagonally from the edge of the woods to continue to pursue the hunting guards, and then he heard a short sound from Alexander 'S command: "Fire!"
Paul Busaco immediately raised a clenched horn in his hand, and with a sharp horn, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the slightly dark forest edge!
Rows of black dots sprayed out of the wood at a speed that was invisible to human eyes. Pieces of smoke spread into an undulating smoke strip at the edge of the wood. In the roar of the musket, the projectile cut through the air and roared in the wood. The raging flying before, with this oncoming roar, was the hoarseness of the hit horses and the horrified howling of the cavalry who fell from the cavalry troop that had just rushed across the woods.
I could not have imagined that there would be so many rifles shooting at the same time. Allied cavalrymen were hit from the side by merciless first round shots. Although not many were directly hit, the sudden attack still made them helpless. Chaos.
The captain felt that the armor seemed to be hit hard by something. Although he could not help shaking his body immediately, he was still seated quickly, but then accompanied by a harsh shriek, he felt that his head was being beaten hard by someone on the face. A punch, a huge shock from his forehead made his head slam back, pain and dizziness made him completely unintuitive.
When he finally sat down steadily, a warm stream of heat was flowing down his forehead, his mouth was salty, and the captain raised his hand to stroke the helmet on his forehead. He felt the faint dent on the helmet.
The captain did not know that his face under the mask had changed, but then he raised his spear. Although he knew that rushing into the woods was not a good choice, the sudden attack completely angered him, and the enemy ’s sharp firepower It also made him worry that the infantry behind could not win. In this case, then use his iron horse's hoof to open up a path first.
The captain struggled to wield a lance. Although his team was hit unexpectedly, the perennial training and bravery convinced him that his people would not be so easily frustrated.
Sure enough, after a brief panic, as the flag on the long gun of the team was pointed, the heavy cavalry began to turn their horses. They faced the woods and their eyes were angry. For those enemies who would only sneak in the corner, they except The anger is more contempt. In their view, even those clumsy civilian infantry are much more noble than these timid and foul enemies like mice.
"Rush in and trample them to pieces!" The captain issued an order, and after shouting out the horn of his family's "Hammer", he was the first to rush towards the woods.
The woods were so close that only a sprint that was negligibly short was already in sight, and the captain had seen the panic-stricken expression on the faces of several enemies who looked completely rural peasants, although they were still holding muskets. , But the shooting just recently gave them no chance to shoot a second shot.
Although the enemy's muzzle is right in front of him, the previous experience of continuously blocking several projectiles has given the captain great confidence in the armor, which is the treasure left by his ancestors and the honor of his family.
"Hammer!"
The captain shouted his proud battle number again. His horse's four hoofs stepped on the ground and his spear pointed forward. With just another breathing sprint, he could rush into the chaos that had become chaotic because of panic. Among the enemies!
Suddenly, the captain ’s afterglow in the corner of his eyes noticed something that was almost in front of him, pointing at his black hole, and then he did n’t wait for him to see what it was. A horrible shadow!
The captain felt that he was hit by something, or simply said that he was hit by a hit. The momentum from the chest at the moment of being hit knocked his body directly back, but the power of the horse's forward charge did not stop. Then, he felt that his body suddenly became empty, and then the whole person fell heavily on the ground.
The captain gasped, he felt his chest was stuffy and gasping, and he wanted to speak loudly, but his throat seemed to be blocked, so that he could not make a sound at all, and the most terrible thing was that the body that was hit hard did not feel The due pain, but the indifference of coldness made his consciousness cloudy.
"Am I going to die, but I haven't confessed yet ..."
The captain suddenly cleared his mind before completely losing consciousness. He miraculously struggled to sit up, but the armor on his body made him unable to move at all, so he wanted to draw a cross on his chest, but he slumped his arm aside He lifted it slightly upwards and fell helplessly, and then the faint sniffing sound that he could still hear in his ears gradually disappeared, and the eyes under his eyes gradually became sluggish until he lost his energy completely.
The captain's death did not stop the fighting, the gunshots were still ringing, and the fighting continued.
When the first wave of shooting ended, Alexander took the lead and retreated.
Let the Musketeers of this era confront the heavy armored cavalry, or a group of recruits who have never really dealt with such a strong enemy. Alexander never thought he had such a great ability.
Even for the carefully selected hunting guards, he did not expect them to really stop the infantry who were about to rush up the hill.
So at the end of the first round of shooting, the heavy cavalry who had been placed in the second row of the long rifle rushed into the woods, but because the terrain had to slow down, the heavy cavalry sent a fatal blow. Musketeers had already retreated to the depths of the woods with Alexander.
But although the retreat was a little hasty, Alexander felt that he still had time to do something else.
So when the cavalry of the Allied Forces bypassed the obstacle in front of them and finally rushed into the woods, someone suddenly saw a cloud of smoke moving forward on the ground, and a few sparks were ignited in the smoke, when they followed the one on the ground The black powder looked forward, and after seeing several carriages crowded together with large wooden barrels, some of the cavalry's faces that responded quickly changed instantly!
Even after having retreated to the other side of Mount Apio, the huge explosion accompanied by the vibration of the ground still made the horses running uncontrollably frightened, and the air behind him made Alexander look back, and then he looked At the top of Apio, the billowing smoke was rising.
A large area in the middle of the woods has been directly bombed into the sky. In this era, the vague understanding of the power of gunpowder has made people not really aware of its terrible, and the damage caused by the explosion of the carriage filled with gunpowder is not only instantaneous. Several heavy cavalry who had just rushed into the woods were blasted to death, and the nearby trees were bombarded into the sky.
Scattered branches and pieces of wood swept through the woods like a terrifying storm. Several trunks that had been blown from the center were first collapsed, and then shook down to the surroundings in the croaking of the crown branches.
There was chaos in the woods, and in the smoke that filled the surroundings, there were broken branches of broken stones and screams everywhere.
Suddenly, there was a hissing sound, and a horse with a half-broken trunk was screaming out of the smoke. It was horrified by the horror and ran in the chaotic wood until it ran out of the wood and ran down the hillside.
When it finally stopped, the horse-drawn horse looked at the figure of a team that had run far away, and issued a melancholy cry.
Pagasos, who was running, seemed to hear something. His beautiful, upright ears suddenly shuddered a few times, and the running speed was slightly slow.
With a "slap", Pagasos was immediately hit with a whip on the beautiful and slick horse stock. This time it completely smashed the dream that it had just seemed to be in a trance. In the snorting breath, Pagasos Had to keep running forward.
It just doesn't know that, even if it becomes well-behaved and waits for it in the future, it will be a terrible knife that will make it completely honest from now on.
The battle on Mount Apio is short-lived and even looks insignificant.
But when the shells landed on the open space between the two armies, the entire battlefield seemed to stop for an instant, and everything had to stop.
Although this stagnation was so short, even many people scattered on the battlefield did not notice it, but it was like a clock was unexpectedly disturbed. The sudden stoppage made this sophisticated machine seem to be unscathed, but the original ones were tightly closed. The gaps and misalignments between the gears and belts of the machine that have not been noticeable, but are real. With this small change, this original precision machine can no longer restore its previous accuracy.
The knights of Charalon strongly restrained the irritable mounts. They were warriors who had experienced countless battles, and their mounts were not so irritable when they heard the advancing horn.
But now everything seems to "stop".
Nor can it be said to be a stop. The French are still advancing towards their enemies, and the coalition forces in the distance are still trying to completely cut off the final retreat of the French to Rome.
But there are always something wrong. If you look closely, you will find that the speed of both sides has slowed down.
The French became cramped by the large crater that was suddenly smashed in front of them.
The flanks on the road leading to Rome from the Allied Forces had to slow down. This is because the sudden battle on Mount Apio really surprised many people!
A team of cavalry soldiers moved fast on the hills. The gorgeous armor made the knight who ran at the front look very striking. When he came down the hill, he looked at the thick smoke that was still rolling on the top of the hill. His face could not help shaking slightly.
"Can anyone tell me what happened?"
The knight asked the people around him angrily, but no one could answer this question. Just as he was about to ask again, a burst of smoke from the side of Mount Apio attracted his attention.
"Who is that?" The knight pointed to the smoke that was quickly spreading across the open space that blocked both sides. "Are we going to fight the French alone?"
"Sir, everyone is waiting for your order," Hu Huo said, but then he opened his mouth in surprise, because he found that the army that suddenly came out of nowhere did not only rush In the open space, and quickly approaching the French army.
"Is that guy drunk? The French will trample them into a pile of mud."
The knight shouted angrily. He tried to send someone to stop the stupid figure, but his messenger hadn't set off yet. A loud cry came out.
The knight listened carefully ~ EbookFREE.me ~ even took off the helmet just to hear clearly, and then he whispered with the cry:
"In the name of Archbishop of Genoa?"
The knight watched in amazement as he suddenly rushed into the open space, although the formation was so thin that only one charge could break the army. When he saw the tree shield badge on the front banner, the knight's face immediately became dark.
"Della Rovere?"
The knight's slightly yellow brows frowned, and he never expected to see the Rovere's army on the battlefield outside Rome.
At this moment, Constantine was panting and looking anxiously at the French, but before he could find Charlene, a man dressed as a slave had run towards them.
Constantine sank when he saw the mark of the eagle snake that was obvious from his chest.
"Sforza!"
He murmured.
