Vol 3 Chapter 132: Knight's Elegy

To Alexander's surprise, the heavy cavalry's turbulence did not start from the front that was repeatedly hit, but the right flank that just worried him.
Although the number of spearmen arranged on the side of the square is very small, there are not many circuitous cavalry. In this way, despite the great pressure, after the initial impact, when the cavalry finally rushed to the spear array, they followed Since several people have been hit by muskets, the forward momentum has been somewhat weak.
But it was those heavy muskets that really made the cavalry feel horrified.
Although the sound was deafening, the first shot did not hit any target.
Even so, the heavy cavalry were frightened by this terrible gunshot.
The riders rushing in front could not help pulling the reins to stop the warhorse, and the people in the rear could not help slowing down. They looked at the array that was not deep on the opposite side in fright, and the sound of heavy guns made them unable to help. Thought that there were artillery among the enemy.
Although today's artillery is not so easy to hit the enemy, at such a close distance, it is difficult for anyone to dare to face that terrible weapon, especially when the artillery is completely fired in a straight line, it is like sweeping everything The horrendous scene of siege hammer that can plow the ground in the crowd will never be forgotten by anyone who has seen it once.
French Charlie is a man who has a special liking for artillery, so he spent more than 100 kinds of artillery from France on this expedition, although most of these artillery did not play an important role, but even if only a little Trial skills are also impressive enough.
These heavy cavalry had seen the power of French artillery in the early days. Even if they were not as huge as siege artillery, they were still powerful enough to smash people into a mud in a moment. They were so frightened that when the coalition decided to siege the French of Rome Although it was impossible to fire artillery at the city of Rome, we still tried our best to collect more than 20 artillery pieces of various sizes in case of unexpected needs.
Did these people bring the artillery from Mount Apio?
This is the terrible thought flashed in the hearts of the heavy cavalry. Perhaps these artillery pieces are not powerful on Apio Mountain, but here the faced cavalry rushed to the front, those artillery pieces are a formidable slaughter weapon.
The cavalry who could n’t help but stagnate because of their timidity listened a few yards from the front of the square. They huddled around the horse and huddled around the spot, but they had n’t decided whether to continue the charge. The muzzles that protrude from the gap between the spearmen have already started.
The shock caused by the heavy muskets gave the musketeers a short time, because the fear of the cavalry often shot indiscriminately and could not hit the target, because the short pause of tens of yards distance faded, the musketeers had After enough time to aim, some people did not choose to shoot huge horses, but directly aimed at the heavy cavalry who pulled the reins and slackened.
There was a lot of gunfire, and the smoke was flying. No one paid attention to whether the enemy on the opposite side was hit, just reloading the ammunition immediately after the first round of shooting.
When the Musketeers were busy, the heavy cavalry opposite had awakened from the initial panic, watching the screaming companions screaming and struggling on the ground, the heavy cavalry's anger and honor replaced The fear of "artillery".
They began to urge the horses again. Although the distance of tens of yards was a little short, they still believed that they could rush over and slash those enemies.
The horse's four hooves planed the ground, and another charge is about to begin!
Then, there were two horrible loud noises!
This time, the heavy cavalry saw the terrifying power of the heavy musket!
The head of a cavalry who was originally behind exploded in an instant!
The huge projectile that passed through the flashing gaps of several people directly hit the head of a hapless egg.
As the helmet hit the flat first, then tore apart, then the projectile pierced the skull of the cavalry without mercy and ripped his entire brain, and his entire head became a rotten apple.
At that moment, the cavalry who lost most of his head was planted from the horse, and the red and white pulp splashed on his head splashed on the armor of his companion, and some splashed directly into their mouths. The charge initiated was another stagnation.
It is these two terrible accidental stagnation that determine the fate of these cavalry.
The distance of tens of yards became an obstacle that they could not seem to cross. The interval shooting of light and heavy muskets made them subject to continuous blows whenever they wanted to attack, and after several rounds of shooting, they seemed to be aware of this coincidentally formed way. After the threat to the enemy, the Musketeers began to cooperate intentionally, so in the scattered shooting, the heavy cavalry always faced the continuous shooting of the Muskete at a distance of dozens of yards, unable to charge forward.
Only when they finally seized a rare opportunity and finally rushed forward, dozens of corpses and companions who were wounded and groaning in pain were left behind them.
The cavalry who paid a painful price finally crossed the distance of dozens of yards, but at this time the cavalry ’s proud impact has disappeared, and the heavy cavalry who only supported by honor and anger struggled to raise their lances. Regardless of whether they hit the enemy or not, after throwing out all the stings, they threw away their spears and pulled out their swords. In their cries, these cavalrymen began their most tragic battle for honor.
The long sword was cut down, the plasma splashed, and then the horse was drawn back to the side by running the horse, and then the horse was driven away slightly to prepare for the next hack. A cavalry almost completed this series of actions. Fortunately, He actually didn't get a little hurt.
But then he wasn't so lucky. A projectile that didn't know where it came from had a small hole in the back of his heart armor. Although the hole was not big, the cavalry body was shocked. , His mount was still running forward, but the cavalry swayed on the horse as if drunk, and then finally slowly slid off the horse and fell to the ground.
The sound of a heavy musket sounded again, and no one cared about whether other people were hit or not. Everyone just instinctively shrank their bodies in the sound. It seemed that they could avoid the shock of that terrible weapon. Not just from the rumbling gunshots, while the cavalrymen slowed down because of their timidity, the spearmen pierced their horses with them.
The cavalry who lost its impact has become a prey in the eyes of the spearmen, gorgeous armor, tall horses and expensive weapons. These have become the biggest temptations. At this moment, fear is replaced by the desire for loot By the way, when the first spearman tried the previous step while a cavalry spare spear was stabbing on his thigh, the spearman cheered with excitement!
Although the spear tip slipped aside into the saddle because the spear tip did not pierce the armor, the spearman's move showed the opportunity to the people nearby.
Another spearman also risked piercing forward, but his movements were a little hesitant, because his goal was the cavalry horse.
But this hesitation was immediately replaced by greater temptation. The spear directly penetrated the chest of the war horse. In the painful cry of the horse, the cavalry was lifted from the horse and fell to the spearmen.
The Aggris are all mountain people. Even if they are not hunters, in order to deal with possible beasts, everyone will carry a dagger with them.
The two spearmen struggled to drag the struggling but unable to climb cavalry. In the horror of the cavalry, a spearman raised a dagger against his neck.
The heavy cavalry who ran back and forth along the formation but could not charge forward were blocked, which was not thought by the spearmen themselves. When they raised their weapons to the cavalry who jumped in front of them, they saw nothing but one The flash of anger on the face of the enemy, and the fear that had appeared, and the pungent smoke became their favorite smell at this moment, because whenever the gunshots made smoke, the enemy would be afraid. Retreat, which has become less important for the spearmen who need to face the cavalry, from the enemy.
What they want now is to take the opportunity to kill the enemy.
When another horse's sorrow came, a cavalry could not stand it anymore. He began to retreat, but not to pull the distance and charge again, but he kept retreating with the horse and kept turning. Direction, escaped without looking back.
No one noticed the escaped cavalry, but when there were gunshots again, the cavalrymen could not help but retreat one after another, someone saw his back.
Just hesitating a little, the cavalry who saw him also turned around, and after looking at the frightful square that did n’t look close in the smoke, the cavalry finally urged the horse to flee.
The captain became aware of the turmoil caused by his team, and he began to shout loudly to try to stop the soldiers who had been shaken. When he saw their blank expression, the captain raised his spear high.
"Rush!"
A roar of hoarseness burst from the mouth of the captain of the cavalry. He ignored everyone around him and reached out to try to stop him, using all his strength to urge the mount to rush towards the enemy in front of him.
The war horse is running, sweat is falling from the hair, and the spear pierces the cold air and screams to the front. This is the pride of the cavalry!
"Rush! Rush !!" The captain roared.
It's near, just in front of you, as long as you sprint forward, you can rush into the enemy formation. The companions behind you will see that the proud heavy cavalry is still the most fearful opponent on the battlefield, and they will definitely follow !
The roar sounded.
The captain felt that he was hit by something. His mount fell forward, and the ground immediately got closer in front of him. Then his body hit the ground heavily.
It ’s strange that he did n’t feel pain, but stood up very stupidly. His spear no longer knew where he was thrown. When he instinctively pulled out his sword and shook it with the body of the sword, he saw the presence The enemy in front of you.
It's really close, just a sprint.
Behind him came the cry of a warhorse, the captain of the cavalry turned back blankly to see the love horse that was struggling on the ground but couldn't get up, and then he turned his head to gasp his hands and raised his sword, staggering under his feet, and gave the final 'S cry: "Crush ~"
One step forward, the gunshots sounded.
The heavy cavalry on the flanks collapsed.
When Alexander heard cheers, he turned his head slightly suspiciously. He saw the right wing in the smoke, which was a little chaotic but still able to maintain the formation. The cheers came from there.
what happened?
Alexandria guessed with a little thought, and only victory would make the soldiers cheer on the battlefield.
When Alexander thought this way, the idea also passed through the minds of the heavy cavalry's new captain, but the cheering sounded strange, and it was not his own.
The captain's heart sank in an instant. He looked towards the enemy's right wing. It seemed to be filled with smoke, but he didn't see the figure of the cavalry who had already seen the enemy's flanks.
The captain's heart sank again. He had a bad feeling, but he didn't want to believe that his cavalry would fail.
But his suspicions were soon confirmed by the changes in the Agrig formation.
The right-wing Aggris are shrinking. In addition to the spearmen becoming thicker with the retreating array, the musketeers have already squeezed to the front, becoming more dense muskets than before, even because of the splash of medicine residue The spearmen were cursed.
The denser gunfire also sounded, and the cavalry fell again. The captain ’s heart was too heavy to support at this time. He saw the scattered smoke in the distance from the enemy ’s right wing. Experience told him that he was a retreating cavalry, and then He couldn't help looking at the other side of the gentle slope.
There were still intermittent fighting sounds, but they never saw the figure of their cavalry.
Attack again, maybe only one time will succeed.
The captain urged the warhorse, and then he saw the look of the soldiers who couldn't breathe.
Tired, dazed, and a little fear and despair.
The captain looked forward, and only then did he discover that some of the enemy Musketeers had even dared out of the phalanx.
Some of them stood in front of the spears, while others used the bodies of dead horses and cavalry as cover. Several of the terrible-looking heavy muskets had been placed under the spear guns in front of the phalanx. The gunshots, the front heavy cavalry had already been forced to retreat.
Can you still attack, maybe only once.
The thought flashed through the captain's heart, and he raised the flagged spear.
So the heavy cavalry who could see the flag took a deep breath.
The honor of the cavalry does not allow them to retreat, follow the captain ’s flag to rush towards the enemy, return to honor or glorious death, this is the fate of the cavalry!
"Array ~"
The captain shouted, and he led the horse forward, preparing to cross the front to the front.
At this moment, he finally saw the figure that appeared on the other side of the gentle ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but his look soon changed.
The heavy cavalry were fast, but they looked very messy, and then he saw the bohemians behind the heavy cavalry.
The constant harassment and containment of the Bohemian light cavalry, as well as the attack of the rifle of the hunting guard, made the heavy cavalry who were brave but unable to get rid of the enemy finally unable to continue to consume. Their only option was to rejoin the frontal team.
For a while, the captain still insisted that he believed that he would still have a chance as long as he re-collapsed the team, but he finally closed his eyes in pain as he looked at the phalanx that had become thicker as the threats from both wings disappeared.
The long horn sounded, but this was not the charge horn that cavalrymen were familiar with, but retreat.
The smoke reappeared, but the heavy cavalry began to turn around.
The Aggris saw their unwilling and sorrowful eyes, then rolled away with the smoke.
