our family is gone

Chapter 106
"The best training results of the artillery under my command can achieve three rounds per minute under the condition of complete personnel, but firing two rounds per minute in actual combat is already very good. The powerful firepower can instantly destroy the enemy's army formation , no army can resist the power of artillery.

But monsters are not human beings. They are not afraid of the casualties caused by artillery. On the contrary, every monster that dies stimulates their greed. At the same time, they ignore the attacks of firearms, and now they are within a hundred meters.

At this time, only the knights and crusaders recruited by the church could maintain their will to fight. The defense line composed of a hundred knights and more than 300 armored crusaders stabilized the formation.

When the long sword slashed at those monsters and easily caused damage, those monsters that could not be killed by muskets fell on cold weapons.

At the same time, the attacks of monsters wielding rusty kitchen knives or gnawing with their mouths have no effect on the crusaders wearing armor. On the contrary, the attacks of crusaders can cause monsters to be injured or even killed. The monster howled in pain.

This discovery raised the low morale. When the artillery is in direct contact with the enemy, the artillery may accidentally injure it, so I issued an order to let all the artillery retreat and open a distance to re-establish a position. The pressure of the battlefield. "

All the situation was originally developing in a good place, but this made them even more nervous, because they knew what the result would be, and it was precisely because of this that they were more curious about what happened to make the situation worse.

Fortunately, Barton didn't mean to delay, but went straight on.

"We say it is the imperial army, but it actually belongs to the eastern provinces directly under the jurisdiction. It is the best in the empire in terms of equipment. When other armies of the empire were still using cold weapons, we began to install a large number of guns and artillery.

As for the cold weapons, although the training items are still retained, the intensity is very weak, and even some teams with less strict management have already been eliminated from daily training. "

Button did not directly talk about the situation at the time, but complained to everyone about the problems he faced at the time.

That is, among the 2000 troops, excluding the [-] serfs who accompanied the army in charge of logistics, only [-] were truly capable of fighting.

Among the 2000 people, only 1000 belonged to the imperial army, but their [-] artillerymen and [-] musketeers didn't have much close combat ability, and among the remaining [-] people, except for the church armed forces, only those who The aristocratic armed forces that are usually looked down upon still retain the ability to fight in close combat.

It stands to reason that as long as these people are dispatched to cooperate with the people of the church to build a position to buy more time, even if they can't win, at least they can hold off for a while, and fight for the army to retreat and regroup.

But something went wrong. Because of the command system, those nobles were not familiar with the imperial orders at all, so when they saw him evacuating the artillery, they thought that the imperial army was going to run away.

Almost at the same time, those noble armed forces chose to retreat, because of the issue of command authority, the army commander could not order others at all.

After one started running, everyone ran away, and the armed escape of the lords caused a chain reaction, which made the situation that was not so good even worse.

After losing those lord's armed forces, how long can the frontline resist with less than five hundred church armed forces?

"Many people in the Musketeer team fell into a frenzy and wanted to escape, and even pointed their guns at their companions. Soon, even the veterans of the Supervising Team couldn't bear the pressure and fled.

In this case, I can only be forced to organize some artillerymen who dare to fight in close quarters, but all the artillerymen under my command are artillerymen. I led the team to fight monsters, and there were not enough weapons and armors to cause heavy casualties. I saw it with my own eyes. The scene where they are killed by monsters and then eaten. "

When Barton said this, his breathing became short of breath, and even a look of panic appeared on his face. Presumably, that scene had a profound impact on him. After all, seeing his familiar comrades being eaten alive, it was because of his strong will that he didn't go crazy on the spot.

I don't know what came to mind. Button suddenly became angry.

"This war has been lost at this time, but after the fight, I found that those monsters are not so terrible, as long as they retreat in an orderly manner, most of their strength can be preserved.

But as the order was interrupted, we found out that the commander had taken his cronies to flee the battlefield without knowing when, and they were in complete chaos when they lost command. Even if they wanted to escape, they were soon chased by monsters on kill.

Fortunately, the people of the church were very powerful under the blessing of divine arts. The church knights continued to charge among the monsters to divide the battlefield, and only then did they suppress the defeat of the defense line.

But soon I discovered a problem, those monsters like meat animals seem to never have enough to eat, the more we kill, the more corpses they eat, both the monster itself and us humans will eventually become became their food.

After eating these corpses, the monsters began to become stronger, their bodies swelled, more and bigger mouths and teeth were born, and some monsters with special attacks appeared at the same time.

I saw with my own eyes those monsters grabbed a corpse and stuffed it into the mouth, and the next second, the big mouth spit out horrible green gastric juice.

Ordinary people were sprayed all over, their skin and muscles wailed tragically as if they were being melted, and the whole person died in the struggle.

Even those crusaders wearing armor were hard to stop. Once sprayed, the metal armor was corroded, and then the flesh and blood, until they were swarmed up and eaten by monsters amidst the screams.

There are also some monsters who burp after eating the corpse, accompanied by gray-green gas radiating from their mouths, not only ordinary people, but also armor can't stop the gas, and anyone who inhales it will scream and then Dead, no one knows what happened to them.

There are also monsters of flesh and blood that are as huge as a hill..."

Barton described the scenes he saw on the battlefield, and everyone couldn't help but feel chills.

Originally, Disma and the others despised Patton's status as a deserter, but now they understand his situation. If they were there at that time, they probably wouldn't be able to last long.

"I admit that I was frightened crazy by those monsters at the time. I wanted to escape but found that the surroundings were full of monsters, and we were surrounded.

And at this moment of desperation, the roar of the artillery made my mind firm again. It was the artillery who was withdrawn by me before, and they did not give up on us.

Taking advantage of the shells tearing apart the monster's line, I led the remaining musketeers and artillerymen to escape from the battlefield.

The last thing I saw were those church knights who were still shouting for the Holy Light and charging towards the monster, even though there were less than ten left at that time, as for the crusaders who had already been submerged in the monster. "
