The knight charge does not refer to the speed at the highest level from the beginning, the horse is limited in strength, and can only maintain the speed in a short time.Normally, they would let the horses trot in a thousand to eight hundred meters, to five hundred meters to gradually accelerate, and finally enter the two hundred meters to start sprinting.

When the twelve-pound Napoleon cannon fired a solid projectile, the theoretical effective range can reach 1,300 meters.Perhaps because the diameter was too short, Roland's gun was too small to see it from a distance, so he had to fire again within 800 meters of training.At this time, the correct head of the gun has been guaranteed, and the projectile will still bounce forward after landing, causing wire damage, and the possibility of hitting the multiple targets is still high.

In order to get the mercenaries first, the Duke ordered the knights to be on standby in the accelerated area, which is usually an absolutely safe area, and the bow and crossbow can not threaten the knight, and the latter leave sufficient distance to increase the speed.The low collection efficiency of the mercenaries allowed the already-in-placed knights to pull their horses and wait quietly in place.For the artillery group, they were almost fixed targets.

The duke did not know that when his troops entered the land, he had already fallen into the battlefield that Roland had presupposed.The middle road is flat and spacious, and the sides are filled with leaf-catalyzed plants, which look like ordinary grass, and under the knees-deep weeds, they cover the thick vines, like a stumbling horse.If the cavalry wants to copy the side of the defense line, it can only advance at a very low speed.The distance has been marked by Soroia within a kilometer, the ground may not be clear, but in the air to look down on the overall lightning, the battlefield is precisely divided into several segments, different colors of markings represent different distance enemies as if on a straight ruler, the artillery team no longer need to calculate the shot angle, only according to the pre-determined steps in the exercise to implement.

The twelve-pounder gun of the Vanners group was the first to roar.

The large amount of gas generated by the gunpowder ignition pushed the projectile out of the bullet, and when it flew out of the mouth, it was accelerated to more than 400 meters per second, almost between two rounds of breathing, and the cannonballs smashed on the ground with a whistling sound, passing through the middle of the two knights, and falling into the grass beside the road.The spleting of mud and rubble made the horses run away, and one of them was too late to react and accidentally fell off the horse.

The other two rounds of the next cannonball were also lost, bringing a series of dust.

The first round of shooting of the four guns was only the last composition for the lucky man in front of the iron ball, a knight happened to pass through the front of the frightened mount when he took control of the frightened ride, the armor was virtual in front of the huge kinetic energy, the iron ball will be thin iron skin together with flesh and blood after a small jump on the ground, and then broke a knight's calf.The horses under his crotch were also washed away, and their internal organs flowed to the ground.

If the Order was in a normal acceleration phase, the next round of shelling should have adjusted the angle of the shot first, but this sudden blow clearly deterred the Duke's coalition, and they did not even know where the strike came from, and how the shells flew faster than the naked eye.The knights did not receive the order of attack and were still wandering in place, trying to calm the restless mount.

The Vanners completed the reloading process as quickly as possible, and the second round of shelling began.

The flesh and blood body exposes its fragility and softness under the hot weapon, and once it is rubbed by the iron ball, it is irreparable serious injury.The knight who was directly hit, in addition to breaking into a number of limbs, there was also a flying blood mist.Only the secondary ejection formed after the shell landed can one vaguely see a vague black ghost and arbitrarily plunder the lives of his companions in the crowd.

Two rounds of shelling, the duke finally linked the fire, roar and inexplicable blows in the enemy camp.The other side seemed to have an incredible weapon, which had a range far beyond the bow and almost equal to the stone-throwing machine of the fortress.With this in mind, the duke ordered his men to blow the trumpet of the attack as soon as they were close, and this long-range strike weapon would basically lose its effect.

The Cavaliers, however, showed a very different reaction.Some people began to accelerate in the direction of the town after hearing the trumpet, some people were still struggling with the mount, and a small number of people had retreated to the rear, plus the mercenaries, the whole scene was chaotic.

The attacking knights returned to the main road, and the gun crews were busy, and in addition to clearing the cannons and loading ammunition, they needed to re-move the gun racks.At this time, the lightning returned to the defensive line again, and the ribbon in his hand was replaced with red.

The red signal means that the other side has approached 500 meters, and within this distance, the shooting rate of the gun can reach more than 80%.

Vanner yelled, “Shoot the angle straighten!Hurry up, light the fire!”

The deafening roar, he even did not care to observe the results, and turned directly to the ammunition distribution personnel and shouted: "shots, send the shotguns up!"

In the artillery training, His Royal Highness of the Prince has repeatedly stressed that if you see a red signal and have been loaded with solid shells in the cannon, you should immediately fire and load the shotgun.If it is not loaded, it should be replaced with a shotgun and wait for the other party to enter the 300-meter range and then shoot.

The shotgun looks like a barrel-shaped tin can, which is stuffed with finger-sized iron balls and sawdust, and the diameter of the can is smaller than the cannon, so after filling the medicine bag, it must be extra into a thin wooden board, and then fill in the shotgun.

Waiting for the lightning to hit the purple signal, the four cannons fired almost simultaneously.

This is also the first time that Vanner has used shot live ammunition, according to His Highness, it is not easy to recover after the shotgun is fired, so it is not easy to ignite the procedure.Today, for the first time, he witnessed the astonishing damage that such a particular projectile could cause.

The iron barrel broke after flying out of the muzzle due to a huge pressure difference, the internal iron balls were scattered to the enemy like rain, and the knights within three hundred meters were suddenly covered by a metal rainstorm.People and horses start with a bloody flower, like cutting wheat in an instant to fall down a piece.Some iron pills still have low kinetic energy after penetrating the human body, and overlapping targets can not escape this robbery.

Fortunately, the knight who was not covered by the barrage could not easily approach the sprint distance, and they had only one idea in their minds that broke through this thin line of defense and slaughtered the cowards who would only fly evil weapons behind the line.Crossing the last 150 meters away only takes a short twenty breath time, and the remaining knights are lying down and speeding up to the highest.

However, this 150 meters seems to be close at hand, but it is a distance away, and the last round of shotguns is close to shooting the fighting will of the knights who have completely destroyed.Within a hundred meters, the iron pellets that are not easily deformed have been able to penetrate two or three people, and the conical area in front of the muzzle has become the domain of death, and almost none of the more than 20 knights in the front are spared, and the difference is only a few projectiles.

The team collapsed.

The team that was scattered because of fear was no longer possible, and the knights behind them turned their heads and wanted to escape the battlefield.

Seeing the Knights scattered and fleeing, the mercenaries would naturally not be willing to take another step forward, they had always worked for money, and desperately this loss-making trade had never been their turn.Now it was time for the retreat, and the mercenaries were running much faster than they had been.

The wave of defeats swept the Union of Prince Lane's allies, and the situation soon became uncontrollable, and the crowd fled back, and the crowding down was put on death alive, no one had time to take care of others, only hated why they did not grow two legs.

The tune of the guerrilla song resounded throughout the scene at this time, and the infantry lined up in the battle line took a neat step and began to clean the battlefield.(Not completed.If you like this work, you are welcome to start the project, and your support is my biggest motivation.
