: 1899 The Princess War (9)

　　 "Let all the archers light the rocket, wait for the next approach, and concentrate their firepower to kill it!"
　　
The Duke of Andia turned his head confidently and shouted to the adjutant behind him that the meat grinder of the Fiya Dynasty was not a completely invincible war tool. The meat grinder was large in size and slow in speed, which was destined to appear on the battlefield The first is the first target of the enemy's trebuchet, and the meat grinder has a major flaw, that is, it is afraid of fire. As long as it is ignited, the meat grinder and the soldiers behind the meat grinder will fall into chaos.
　　
　　 But his voice was just able to fall, and he saw his adjutant's face changed,
　　
"Asshole, did you listen to me!" The Duke of Andia thought that the adjutant did not understand what he meant, and said angrily, "I heard my order! Nothing is afraid of fire, as long as you have a fast enough rocket, After the meeting, you can destroy it before approaching! Immediately convey this news, as soon as you find an opportunity, fire it and fire it!"
　　
"grown ups.
　　
　　 I think you may be wrong, it seems that the Estonians have improved it! "The adjutant's face was pale, and with a smile on his face, he carefully extended his finger and pointed behind Duke Andia behind him,
　　
　　Andia turned her head, and when she was just about to scold, she blocked her mouth and siege the meat grinder! How could the Istanians know this! "The Duke of Andia looked stunned, took a breath, and squeaked his fingers holding the reins of the warhorse. It is said that during the Fiya Dynasty, the real battleground meat grinder was also called the mobile fortress of war.
　　
At that time, the meat grinder barrier had two functions: field and siege. When fighting in the field, the meat grinder will be covered with a layer of fire-proof felt, which will advance with the synchronous troops to crush and cut the enemy array. In siege battles, the large and slow meat grinder is the first target of the enemy's trebuchet, so the strengthening of the meat grinder is not only a fire blanket, but also a baffle that is sufficient to resist enemy rockets and slingshots. These baffles are made of the strongest iron wood. This wood is the best material for building naval warships. It is as hard as iron. Even if it has been soaked in sea water for a hundred years, it will not crack at all.
　　
I saw five giant tanks like the mobile fortresses of the Istanians neatly stopped at a distance of about 100 meters from the archer's range. The light infantry queue in the back began to cover up, and the light shield with the small round shield in his hand. The infantry quickly cleared the roadblock in front, paving the way for the meat grinder's advance. At the rear of the meat grinder, the Istanian infantry are discharging the queue with two wings spread out. The engineers are finalizing the meat grinder. On both sides of the meat machine, two baffles covered with fire-proof felt slowly rose, and the skin of the baffle was dense metal spikes, like a huge hedgehog.
　　
The top of the 　　 is also covered with a layer of wooden boards. The outer sides of these wooden baffles are covered with metal skin, and the middle of the side baffles is a row of small round holes, which should be used for internal personnel ventilation
　　
"Go forward! Ural!" The Istanian army shouted slogans. The infantry in the back began to cling to the meat grinder in front. Everyone began to push hard. The thrust behind the meat grinder began to expand. The wooden wheels clucked and rolled again. The sound of crushed stone clanged, and the heavy car body pulled out two deep cars on the ground, and the dull sound was like a kind of depression, so the heart of the soldier was not crushed.
　　
　　 "Sir, what should we do now? The adjutant's tone is obviously panic,
　　
　　 ‘Don’t mess up, the more nervous you can’t mess up, we must have a way! "Andia said angrily, he didn’t know where the Istanians got these meat grinders, but clearly it can be seen that this thing is definitely a product of the last period of the real Feiya Dynasty
　　
　　Because of the ambitions of princes around the world, the meat grinder, which had always been a siege weapon, began to use field battles with the enemy army. At that time, the meat grinder was already the pinnacle of land machinery.
　　
As you can see now, not only the front end of the meat grinder is equipped with a more shocking giant sickle and a three-blade blade, but also the side baffle. The craftsmen also added a row of long guns. The spear muzzle, the wide rear compartment can accommodate 20 to 30 soldiers, the open opening of the mobile fortress is designed at the safest tail, the top baffle is added to the third floor, and the spear muzzle on the side of the baffle Is the most terrible place in this fortress of war. Once this big hedgehog pierces into the array of the enemy’s army, the long spear lurking inside will give a large amount of damage to the dense enemy from the spear muzzle.
　　
Such a meat grinder, known as a mobile war barrier, is worthy of the name. Not only can it withstand the impact of ordinary trebuchets, but as long as the infantry that is not an is defeated, the other is not a problem for the meat grinder. It was against the Fiya Dynasty town. The rebels who crushed the troops seized the weakness of the side of the meat grinder. The design first defeated the infantry group, which led to the defeat of the largest corps of the Feiya Dynasty. More than 130 meat grinders were defeated in the battle. Burned, the war that led to the decline of the Fiya dynasty from strong to strong is called "the battle of the meat grinder!" is a very famous example of war in Central Europe and Baro.
　　
　　Can I copy that battle?
　　
　　 Impossible! The Duke of Andia was very sure of this. The Istanians were not the arrogant Feiya army. Their infantry clusters were right behind the meat grinder, and there was no trace of breakthrough. The hands are parallel with the cross queue, enough to give a destructive blow to any enemy trying to approach, and behind the enemy army, the heavy cavalry that the enemy has just withdrawn is taking a break, just like a cheetah lurking in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to give itself The most fatal blow, the opponent was a very vengeful and conceited person. From chasing and chasing himself for more than 600 miles, it can be seen that he had ambushed the opponent with heavy cavalry in the Foucir region. One hand, so that the other party hates themselves, the other party's arrogance, will certainly use this way to restore face!
　　
　　 "Rocket ready!"
　　
Gangfei's fast archer array of cavalry ran past the front. Although he knew that it might have little effect, the only thing that could threaten the opponent was the rocket. The entire row of Gangfei archers looked serious and pulled out the arrow cluster from the quiver. , Use a tarpaulin that is easy to burn to keep the metal arrow in front, and then ignite it with a torch inserted at the foot. Countless burnt arrow clusters at the front end slowly lift toward the 45-degree angle, and the archer held it. Breathing, only the crackling and popping sound of the front tarpaulin burning and burning in the air, their eyes closely staring at the "giant beast" slowly approaching in front
　　
　　 "shoot!"
　　
　　With the loud command, countless fingers loosened the tail feathers of the arrow cluster, just like countless meteors crossed a gorgeous arc, suddenly flew from the horizon into the sky, and quickly fell at a certain height
　　
　　 "Attention!"
　　
The Istanian infantry held up the shield in his hand and leaned against the rear wing of the five large meat grinder fortresses. The "clap" countless clusters of arrows fell like storms, hitting the shields with a dense sound like a storm, as clusters of arrows The top of the five meat grinder barriers of the main target was filled with dense clusters of arrows, just like a hedgehog that exploded suddenly, but when the arrows clusters were finished, the five mobile war barriers did not hurt even a hair, and it was still not tight. Keep moving forward slowly, just dumbfounded, the Istanians raised their shields filled with arrow clusters and cheered
　　
　　 "Roan, can your cavalry get rid of those things?" Andia shouted angrily to the cavalry commander,
　　
This non-general general wearing a cross lion helmet and a majestic shuttlecock scales glanced over the strong Istanian throwing gunmen on the side of the meat grinder barrier. Those gunmen were the killers of the cavalry. , And his cavalry is a southerner, he gritted his teeth and said, "Istan’s shooting is fast and accurate, and can penetrate the cavalry’s mail armor. If the adult can help me get rid of the other’s shooting, I might be able to Give it a try!"
　　
　　 "Come on, don't give me a gun, and give you those things!" Andia hesitated and said after all
　　
"As adults wished!" Roan knelt on one knee in front of Andia, stood up and turned away, he came to his cavalry unit, glanced over his serious men, and pulled out his sword, Pointing to the five meat grinders in the distance, shouting, "Have you all seen it? At that time, the new weapons of the Istanians, infantry and archers were no longer possible, and now we have to rely on our cavalry! Behind you is the empire In the south, we are very eager to go back alive, but if we can’t stop the enemy’s pursuit here, the war will burn to the south, to your hometown, think about what the Estonians did in the north, you Would you like to see such a result?"
　　
"You can order, sir!" A captain of the cavalry put his hands on his right chest and patted heavily. "We have failed once in Foucir. This time, even if it is life, we have to Fight for reputation!"
　　
"Okay! All are there, ready torches and porcelain weapons, we can attack at any time!" Roan nodded, Foucir battled, he led the cavalry to attack the Istanians, and the result was against the Istanians in the center line. The defeat caused the entire battle to be a joke, and it has always been regarded as a shame and shame by the cavalry.
　　
　　 "Yes!" A neat voice resounded through the sky, and all of the five thousand cavalrymen pierced like clouds. Arranged in an array of delta wings. They held the bayonet in one hand and the torch in the other. The sunlight from the distant sunset shone on them, reflecting a fascinating light, and a breeze gently took the cavalry helmet lace. As if the battle flag was fluttering,
　　
　　The horses Roan straddled were in the front row of the phalanx. He calmly looked at the moving barrier in front, and his right hand began to slowly lift.
　　
The line behind 　　 was solemn, only the rough breathing and the whispering jet noise of the warhorse were heard
　　
　　 Received a report that the cavalry troops were ready to attack, and the Duke of Andia also ordered to change the target of the attack at this time. "Order the archer forces, all attack the enemy's shooting troops! Suppress them until they collapse!"
　　
The aiming target of the bow and arrow troops was changed, and the countless Gangfei war bows were neatly shifted to the left by about 15 degrees "shot!" Three minutes later, countless arrow clusters exploded from the direction of the Gangfei group, just like It was a wide black cloth bag flying into the sky, and the dyed red quickly fell towards the array of shooting guns flanked by the barrier,
　　
"this is?"
　　
　　 An Istan shot a gun and raised his head, his eyes were dull, and he looked at the cold light of the cluster of arrows above his head that covered the sky like an infinite number of stars in the night sky,
　　
The Istanian shooters did not expect that the target of the non-archer suddenly turned into their own direction. It was not until now that it was found that it was too late. The Istanian who found the troops dropped the gun and turned around in a panic, but the arrows clustered. It fell faster, like lightning, and penetrated his body at once.
　　
　　"Attention, arrows..."
　　
　　 The scream of the Istanian shooter and the violent hand just rang out, and immediately stopped abruptly in the sound of a torrential rain.
　　
　　 Uncountable arrow clusters pierced his body, and he was shot as a hedgehog, his front foot was soft, and his whole body fell to the ground,
　　
Like him, many of Estan’s guns were caught by countless arrow clusters alive, and their bodies were like targets filled with straw. There were no screams and no wailing, only the arrow clusters penetrated through the flesh. The buzzing voice, the blood stained the ground under their feet,
　　
　　Istanians’ shooting hands are light infantry. The protective weapon in their hands is only tied to a small round shield in the left hand that has just covered the chest. It can’t resist this explosive long-range counterattack.
　　
The cluster of arrows swept and washed in a line-like queue like rain. The soldiers on the entire road were instantly shot over, blood was flying, and screams were everywhere, and countless arrows flew and could be seen continuously. A series of shiny metal waterfalls flew from above.
　　
　　 "Regardless of shooting guns and ordering war barriers to move on!"
　　
The governor of the East of Istanbul, Hajira, was riding on the horse, wearing a silver-white mail armor and a white robe. The whole person looked like a chubby white fox, his expression was blank. Watched that the shooting team was hit hard and demanded that the troops continue to move forward
　　
The barriers of war were what he called the five meat grinders. In fact, these five meat grinders were completely obtained by an accidental grave digging, because the battle of Focordil was stubbornly blocked by the non-human and even missed the emperor. Converging the battle plans to surround Gangfei and Kyoto, the angrily harassed Hayla knew that the tomb of Gangfei’s first king was nearby, and he suddenly ordered the soldiers to dig out the tomb of the Gangfei. The result was an accident in the huge tomb. I discovered these five huge meat grinders. Although they were damaged and eroded by the years, they were still able to be used under the repair of the craftsmen.
　　
　　 "Strike!"
　　
　　Roan also screamed at the same time, suddenly, the raised hand pressed down hard
　　
The cavalrymen behind them raised their spears and ignited torches, and gave a deafening roar, "The glory of our advance belongs to us!" Five thousand cavalry soldiers lurched on horseback, and the torrent of iron cavalry rushed to a war less than fifty meters away. Barriers, the sound of horseshoes thundering like thunder, rolling up the sky of dust, and the black cavalry, moving forward like an avalanche,
　　
　　 "Stabilize!"
　　
　　The Istanian army behind the meat grinder war barriers has three teams of 37,000 people,
　　
All are veterans with extremely rich combat experience. Due to the shortest distance, they are the most able to feel the terrible momentum of the oncoming team. The Istanians suddenly changed their formation immediately after the war barriers, and countless lance infantry quickly In the front, three sections of vertical guns, a sharp command sound, a uniform movement, the front gunmen suddenly squatted, the tail end of the spear in his hand was deeply inserted into the mud, and the spear was lifted to a forty-five degrees, The second row of lances pressed the lances on the shoulders of the lancers who crouched in the first row, and the third row of lances pressed on the shoulders of the lancers of the second row, but in just ten seconds, the front was dense The gun forest completely blocked the possibility of the cavalry approaching the barrier
　　
　　 "The first team follows me!"
　　
　　Roan shouted, the entire row of cavalry pressed like crazy beasts.
　　
Pappa, the rifle of the Istan infantry pierced the vest of the warhorse, and was also broken by a strong reaction force. The position of the front line of the "rumbling..." collision was like a sudden burst of an indescribable red blood tide. The nemesis impacted by the three-segment cavalry, the warhorse stabbed by the spear does not fall immediately, but because of its strong inertia, it continues to move forward, or kicks wildly under severe pain.
　　
　　The knight on the horse was thrown down heavily, fell into the gun array erected in front, turned into a piece of blood exploded in the air, or smashed heavily on the ground, and then trampled to death by the chaotic horse,
　　
In the first two rows of the Istan infantry, their blood and flesh are like a spark between a huge iron hammer and iron felt, almost avoiding the inevitable squeeze by the swarming cavalry horses Dead, the second row of cavalry in the back took the opportunity to throw the torch in the battlefield meat grinder less than 20 meters away. Their goal was not to ignite the meat grinder's baffle. Burnt arrow clusters have proved that this method is not feasible. They just threw the torches intensively. Soon, under the meat grinder of the battlefield, the torches ignited the dry grass on the ground, forming a fire belt. It was early spring. During the season, the fire ignited the wooden board under the meat grinder on the battlefield. There was no fireproof layer, and the kerosene on the torch burned almost at one point.
　　
　　Once the flame is opened, the gap is opened. Immediately turned into a huge fire snake, the flame first burned from the bottom of the battlefield meat grinder ~EbookFREE.me~ and then spread upward, the fire tongue burned out from inside the fire blanket, the huge battlefield The meat grinder is like a super torch that is quickly ignited and full of fire,
　　
"Asshole! How could this be!" East Istanbul Governor Hajera punched angrily on the saddle, a total of five battleground meat grinders, and one was reimbursed this time. It is difficult to replicate this kind of thing. , Even the best craftsman in the army can only say to repair some small parts
　　
　　 "Dried beautiful" Roan! "
　　
　　 In the rear, the Duke of Andia looked at the local cavalry deeply into the queue of the Istanians like a sword, and the Estan troops were forced to squeeze out,
　　
　　 Infantry and cavalry have been in close combat, it has never been cheap, this is not a word of mouth, cavalry is the king of melee arms of this era, even the best Northland infantry can only achieve ⑴ヅ proportional war damage,
　　
　　 It is very important for ordinary infantry to be able to hold three infantry for one cavalry when the array is complete.
　　
Most of the infantry queues were directly defeated by the cavalry shock. In the soothing sound of the separation of flesh and bones, the Istanian infantry was like clusters of green wheat seedlings, scared to face the sudden change of farming The giant scythe brandished by Grim Reaper, they were separated and laid down like a domino, and the only thing they could do was to use dazzling coherent blood. To complain about the fragility and ease of life.
