Chapter 246 Prelude to the Battlefield

In front of a new musket with an initial speed of more than 700 meters per second, the armor that can be worn on a human body can hardly block it. It took only one second in total from the bullet to the point of hitting the human body.

In just one second, this extremely brave Saxon general who was ten, fell down like this.

In the face of gunpowder and steel, the body made of flesh and blood is nothing. The gap between the strong and the weak has been narrowed infinitely. No matter how great a person or a powerful warrior is, he cannot stop a bullet shot from coming in person.

Simon's shot had a profound meaning that he didn't even know. To put it bluntly, it represented the end of the entire medieval war system, the decline of the entire knight class, and the rise of gunpowder and mechanical forces.

To put it simply, it represents the end of Viscount Tarik who had provoked Eugen from the beginning and hated each other. The bronze bullets were like a heavy hammer, and one blow destroyed the hope of victory of the Saxony Legion.

Bang bang bang bang!

Simon's gunshots officially kicked off the battle, or rather, the battle of the Dragon Horse Army.

The brave Saxon cavalry suffered an unimaginable tragic blow before they even approached the enemy. The power of the volley of a hundred new muskets was far beyond the imagination of these strong men in the north.

The scorching bullets penetrated into the body, like a burning stinger. The Saxon soldier who was hit first paused, and then a violent sensation of tension and burning pain came from the wound.

The bullets destroyed the flesh and blood tissue on the surface of their bodies and kept drilling into the inside of the body. The strong kinetic energy created a huge cavity in the soft internal tissue, just like a large balloon suddenly blowing up inside the human body.

Immediately afterwards, the flesh and blood were backfilled, and the balloon exploded with a bang. When everything was over, there was only a piece of dilapidated, mixed internal tissue, and dozens of cracks of all sizes.

The Saxon Cavalry team, which had originally been neatly formed, was bitten by an invisible giant. A huge gap was instantly empty in the first half. One by one, the soldiers fell to the ground with a wail. The war horses that had lost their master's control ran wildly, causing new chaos to the dense cavalry formation.

One round of volleys, another round of volleys, from loading, loading, to aiming, and launching, every Longxiong soldier is doing his best to fire all the bullets in as short as possible.

The dense sound of gunfire, screams and wailing formed a grand war symphony. The Saxony cavalry fell one after another on the charge road. Before they officially arrived at the battlefield, they suffered an unimaginable heavy blow.

For five minutes, the roar of the new musket lasted for five minutes. These five minutes were simply a doomsday experience for the Saxon Cavalry. The comrades around them fell one after another, and no one knew whether the next one to fall to the ground would be themselves.

In five minutes, the Saxon Cavalry lost nearly 370 people, including the brave general, the so-called Saxon Spear.

Before the war started, Tarik had conducted battlefield drills. According to his speculation, the total number of casualties on his side during the entire battle was only about 500.

But unexpectedly, at the beginning of the battle, Eugen's side suffered such a tragic blow without losing a soldier and a soldier. Now it seems that not to mention reducing losses, but the ownership of victory seems to have become an unresolved thing.

If Tarik knew the losses of the cavalry, he would have considered his previous decision again to slow down the attack. Unfortunately, he was at the back at this moment and knew very little about what was happening in front. In addition to the simple communication conditions, it would be too late for him to withdraw his soldiers at this time.

Following the cavalry, nearly a thousand mixed troops of infantry, archers and musketeers rushed up. Tarik had made up his mind to capture Lebir in one fell swoop, capture Eugen, and send Maria and Margaret to Izart's residence in person.

He was already determined to continue on this road, even if he offended the royal family and the Meidiqi family for this, he would do whatever he wanted.

On the front line, each of the soldiers of the Longxiang Army tried their best, and the shooting frequency increased to the extreme. Finally, all the bullets were empty in five minutes, and only empty boxes were left on the defense line. The war horses were led by the soldiers of the Longxiang Army. Everyone immediately turned over and ran towards the second line of defense behind.

At the same time, a brigade of nearly 100 shield-bearing infantry immediately entered the defense line to defend. They would then resist the aggressive Saxon cavalry and buy time for the retreating Longxiong Army.

At the speed of a war horse, the Longxiong Army will be able to withdraw to the near the second defense line in about two minutes and be ready for battle.

Therefore, this team of 100-man infantry had to resist the Saxony Army for two minutes before they could retreat. This was almost a mortal task for them, but no one complained.

This is war. Behind them, in addition to their comrades, there are also family members of their descendants and relatives. There are always people who have to stand in the most dangerous position and bear all the pressure.

But then again, since the war begins, where is there no danger? If the battle fails in the end, it is just a difference between early death and late death for everyone.

The infantry entered the defense line to set up defense, and Saxon's cavalry finally rushed directly in front of the defense line. For them, the battle finally entered a normal trajectory.

A fierce Saxon cavalry rushed to the front of the formation first, swinging the long-handed iron hammer in his hand and smashed it hard towards the simple defense line made of the wooden rack in front. With a sour sound of breaking, the loose wooden rack was immediately smashed and flew aside.

The war horse wearing a burqa was blindfolded and could not see any obstacles ahead. He rushed straight towards the defense line. The wooden frame was immediately knocked to the side, and the cavalry rushed into the defense line.

The shield-holding infantry guarding behind the defense line immediately rushed forward, raised the long sword in their right hand and rushed forward. The Saxon soldiers riding on the horse looked around and found a weak breakthrough between a team of infantry.

The man he was targeted by him was not wearing armor or shield, but was holding a long steel sword high, and there were scabbed scars on his neck exposed.

The Saxon cavalry sneered, raised the hammer and killed it. The war horses broke away from the other shield-holding infantry around them in one fell swoop, and they wanted to break through from the defense line.

Then he waved his heavy hammer and smashed it towards the head of the black-haired soldier. If the hammer was firm, the man's head would inevitably explode like a watermelon.
