Iron Powder and Spellcasters

   Chapter 447 The great alliance moves forward (nineteen)

  Colonel Bode overlooked both sides of the river valley from the church bell tower, and the thick smoke turned the distant scene into a blurred afterimage.

   But it didn't matter, because the whole picture of the battlefield was already in his mind. Thousands of humans and war horses seem to be a huge living body, and Bode Gates listens to its pulse clearly:

   To the south, the army of the White Mountains under Colonel Geisa Adonis was marching forward, and the pioneering centurion pierced the river like an awl, and successively seized the farmhouses along the coast where the enemy was garrisoned;

To the north, Bianjiang County and Leiqun County troops under the command of Colonel Skool are fighting fiercely with the enemy. Skool's front flanks the enemy's flank, and the enemy's reinforcements also outflank the troops of Bianjiang County and Leiqun County. flank.

  The two sides are like a pair of ouroboros, tearing apart each other's wreckage like a madman, only to see who can bite the other first, bite fear, and bite to death;

   As for the place where the battle was most intense, there was no earthen mound where the enemy troops set up their artillery to the east. There can no longer be seen the desolate appearance of the grass before, and the horseshoe ploughed the surface all over. Looking around, there was no more green to be found, only black mud and red blood.

  The cavalry of Leiqun County surrounded the enemy and launched an attack in turn. The enemy formation, which was almost submerged in war horses and smoke, seemed to collapse in the next second, but it just didn't collapse.

  South, North, East, three separate battlefields are fighting to the death, no matter where the result is divided first, it is possible to decide the outcome of today.

   The most "irrelevant" thing is the River Valley Village located in the center of the whirlpool at this moment.

  Captain Losson did not have the overall view of Colonel Broad, and in the frenzied fight, he gradually only had instinct. He is not afraid of anything, has no desire, he growls loudly, swings his sword vigorously, splits his chest, and cuts off his neck.

   A buckshot that flew from nowhere hit Luo Song's mount, and the horse wailed, slammed down, and then fell to one side. If it weren't for the captain's quick reaction and his legs being pulled back in time, he would have broken his shin with just one blow.

   It was too late to mourn for the beloved horse. Luo Song, who had just pulled out his right leg from under the war horse, rolled on the ground and would dodge the piercing spear. The point of the spear slid across his back, leaving a shallow mark on his armor.

The captain    roared at the enemy who was drawing his spear and wanted to stab again, but felt a great force grip his arms and shoulders - a sergeant dragged him onto his horse and whipped him away.

  The two of them have been withdrawing out of the range of the muskets, and the other Leiqun County cavalrymen also got rid of the enemy one after another and retreated to regroup.

The sergeant    brought back a lost warhorse to the captain, and Lozon took the reins and saddled them in the stirrups.

   "Sabre." The captain gritted his teeth and undid the spike from his wrist.

  The sergeant found the captain a saber without a rolled blade. Handing the saber to the captain, the sergeant noticed that the captain's arms were shaking involuntarily.

   "Queue."

The horn of    assembly sounded again, and the cavalry of Leiqun County, who were still able to fight, lined up again. The cavalry with swords drew their swords, and the cavalry who lost their swords picked up the spears discarded by the enemy, and once again rode their horses towards the enemy formation.

   But even if the Thundershire cavalry had the fighting spirit to launch a new charge, their steeds were exhausted by the constant strenuous exercise.

   No matter how the riders used their whips and boot spurs, the horses couldn’t sprint at full speed like they did at the beginning, but could only jog.

   Riding a tired warhorse, the charge interval of less than 200 meters was as long as a kilometer.

   In the phalanx at the other end of the killing field, the interprovincial colonel jumped into the carriage, shouting and waving the military flag, inspiring his subordinates to continue fighting.

  Sparse red flames shot out from the inside of the spear wall, and the enemy was unable to organize the musketeers to conduct a disciplined salvo.

   However, Luo Song caught a glimpse of a change in the corner of the phalanx: the gunners in the rear were pouring gunpowder into the flares, and the enemy spearmen in the front row panicked to give up the shooting space.

   Another enemy cannon is reloaded.

  When the Leiqun County cavalry charged repeatedly, the four enemy artillery that had not been destroyed were also firing rapidly without interruption. They inflicted more damage on Lozon's subordinates than the two phalanx musketeers combined.

   Now, the lead rain of death is coming again.

   "Disperse!" Luo Song raised his hand and shouted: "Fare off!"

   Just then, the cannons opened fire.

   Luo Song only felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, and the airflow cut his cheeks with pain. Luo Song thought he was dead, but the sergeant next to him died first.

   The sergeant's left arm was chopped off by the cannonball shoulder-length, and blood rushed out from the short wound with his heartbeat. He gave the captain a painful look and fell off the horse.

   In the fierce battle, the enemy learned new tricks.

   They hid the artillery inside the human wall, so that the attackers could not see the reloading progress of the artillery, and did not disperse the spearmen in the front row until a moment before firing.

   The sudden artillery attack plowed a gap in the charge formation of the Thundershire cavalry, but the screams and wailing from the enemy formation were more tragic than the wailing of the Thundershire horses.

   There was a tragic scene around the heavy artillery that had just sprayed the fire rain, and there were broken human bodies and wood chips everywhere.

   There was a terrifying tear-like gap at the rear of the heavy gun, and the metal stripped from the gun body turned into deadly fragments, directly blowing the phalanx that was on the verge of collapse.

   "Go up! Go up!" The school official was shouting wildly.

   "That's it!" Luo Song's blood was swollen, and he raised his knife and pointed at the location of the blasting gun: "Come with me!"

   Leiqun County's heavy cavalry roared and broke into the last enemy formation on the mound.

   The front row lancers of the parliamentary army in other directions either fled, or turned to face them. However, as soon as they were shaken, the hussars of Leiqun County, who were out of range of the muskets, also rushed over.

In the sound of horses' hooves resounding in the sky, no matter how the Union Provincial Colonel took the lead, no matter how motivated the Union Provincial Colonel, the last parliamentary army formation on the artillery position was still like an ice cube hit by a heavy hammer. Restoratively collapsed.

   In the chaos of the army, Luo Song fiercely searched for the Union Provincial Colonel, but could not find the light blue Union Provincial uniform.

  Luosong Lema looked around at the scene around him: the brown-clothed soldiers fled to all directions in a panic, and the Leiqun County cavalry chased after them and slashed like crazy.

   "Blow the trumpet!" Luo Song shook off the blood dripping from the saber, and habitually turned his head and ordered the trumpeter: "Call all members! Assemble and reorganize!"

   No one responded to him, and his trumpeter had been killed in the charge just now.

  Luosong pursed his lips and ran towards the positions of the flags of the third and fourth squadrons, looking for the trumpeter of the light cavalry squadron.

   At this moment, Luo Song heard the familiar sound of hooves.

   It was not the chaotic roar of thousands of horses galloping, but the sound of the hooves of hundreds of thousands of war horses advancing in unison with the same footwork—the sound of charging hooves.

  Luo Song looked back in horror, and saw that the enemy cavalry, who had been resting at the southernmost end of the battlefield, had not known when they had completed their preparations for the attack.

   The cavalry squadrons of the three newly reclaimed land expeditions were fully deployed on the field, forming a huge net, and they were rushing towards the earthen mound where the artillery positions were located.

  Luo Song rushed under the flag of the light cavalry squadron for the first time, and the mournful reception horn sounded through the mound. The cavalry of Leiqun County gave up chasing and killing the fleeing enemy, followed Captain Luo Song's flag, and withdrew from the artillery position from the west like the ebb tide.

  Losong wanted to bring his troops to the periphery of the battlefield to regroup, but the cavalry of the New Reclamation Corps did not intend to give him this opportunity.

  They rounded the mound from the east, and after briefly disappearing from Lorson's field of vision, they reappeared in the rear of the Thundershire cavalry.

  The cavalry of Leiqun County was already at the end of the line, and many of them were still carrying the wounded and comrades who had lost their horses. On the other hand, the cavalry of the New Reclaimed Land Expeditionary Army had not yet been engaged in combat.

  The two sides were slow and fast, and the distance was quickly shortened. There were constantly Leiqun County cavalry falling off their horses and disappearing under the hooves of the pursuers.

  Losong's warhorse was full of saliva, his two nostrils kept flipping, and he was panting violently like an old bellows. No matter how Lorson moved the warhorse, it couldn't run faster than the chasing warhorse.

  Luo Song gritted his teeth, just when he was about to give the order to "turn around and meet", an unexpected reinforcement burst into the Leiqun County cavalry and pursuers.

In the sequence of the four-county coalition, the cavalry in Bianjiang County had poor equipment, poor horses, and little training. They always took on the "chores" that the cavalrymen hated most, instead of being regarded as a team that could decide victory like the cavalry of Leiqun County. negative power.

   But this time, it was the cavalry of Bianjiang County who saved the cavalry of Leiqun County.

   Lieutenant Legener, the commander of the light cavalry of Bianjiang County, noticed that the situation had changed, and immediately gathered all the subordinates he could gather, and rushed to come to support.

Lieutenant   Legener seized a perfect attack window, which was beyond the expectations of both the friendly forces and the enemy. Although the enemy cavalry tried their best to adjust the formation to respond, they were still intercepted by the light cavalry of Bianjiang County.

   "People from Bianjiang County have dragged the puppet army!" The lieutenant commanding the light cavalry of Leiqun County caught up with Luo Song and shouted hoarsely: "The front is the field of soldiers!"

  Captain Luosong turned his head and looked back at the allies in Bianjiang County who were struggling to fight in the smoke-they were too few in number, and they were also exhausted from the task of covering the battlefield. All they can do is slow down the enemy.

   The lieutenant of the light cavalry of Leiqun County repeated: "Walk the field!"

   "Stop!" Luo Song yanked on the reins, and the horse was strangled and stood upright. The captain drew his saber and shouted the order: "Turn! Meet the enemy!"

  …

   Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Geisa Adonis easily captured the upper east bank of the Unnamed Creek.

  When the two battalions of the enemy deployed on the river bank used muskets to shoot at the Baishan County troops across the river, they fought back and forth. Once you get into hand-to-hand combat, you can run away immediately.

   The sword and shield fighters of Baishan County were like dogs chasing rabbits, and they swept the brown-clothed soldiers out of the small farms on the east bank.

   However, the unease in Colonel Geisa’s heart grew stronger—the combat effectiveness displayed by the enemy was completely inconsistent with Colonel Borde’s pre-battle predictions.

   The three battalions deployed by the enemy in the rear did not do anything either, watching the friendly forces defending the river bank be repulsed.

   Since he couldn't figure out what Sanel was up to, Colonel Geisa Adonis was not going to think about it. No matter what tricks Sanel has, he can tell the difference with one punch.

   "Drum!" Colonel Geisa ordered: "March!"

   Just when Geisa was determined to confront him, Sanel also rushed to the left flank of the parliamentary army.

Colonel Sarnell Carroy - the nominal commander of the Parliamentary Army - drove straight into the central one of the three phalanxes on the second front, and vehemently and vehemently scolded another man in the uniform of a colonel. Soldier: "Are you still moving?!"

   The colonel who was questioned gave Sarnell a cold look: "You and I are on the same level, Colonel Sarnell, I am not your subordinate."

   "Good! Good! Good!!" Sanel said good three times, suppressed his anger, and asked through gritted teeth, "When will you be willing to attack? Najib-Colonel!"

   "When the time is right, I will order the attack."

   "The plan has changed! It's too late!"

"The Sixth Legion is the ballast stone of the Republic. It is because of the existence of the Fifth and Sixth Legions that the younger generation has to bow their knees. If the Sixth Legion loses too much power here, the Great Council will have no choice but to take a stab at Plato's Rule will be shaken." The colonel, known as Najib, glanced at Sanel and said flatly: "As for your people, it doesn't matter if you die a little more."

  Sannell was almost shouting: "My people are dead, and yours will not survive!"

   "Really?" Colonel Najib looked as usual: "I don't think so."

   After saying that, he nodded slightly and ignored Sanel.

  Sannell froze for a long time, and finally roared angrily and rode away.
