Chapter 295

The battle on the highland lasted for nearly half an hour. Schroder, Claude, Tirbitz and other senior officers personally led the team to participate in the melee, and finally recaptured the artillery position.

Even if the mercenaries are older than the sand field and the combat experience is rich, it can't stop the united cooperation of more than 600 Alda soldiers. Besides, the mercenaries on the highlands are mostly long archers, and close -up operations are not their best job. In the end they were helplessly defeated.

As for those ordinary soldiers who sent the long archer, they scared their courage after seeing the power of the musket.

In Paul's design, his army will not follow the line of soldiers. It is more to rely on discipline and organization. Soldiers must absolutely obey the order of superiors. Even if this order is not the best or even defects, it will obey.

They do not need to be proficient in style skills, but they must master their skills in their respective skills. During the battle, they have their own duties. With good collective organizations and division of labor and self -sacrifice spirit, they complete the task, just like ants or bee.

Of course, because of the limitations of the times, the so -called [Jingbing] in this era is not much elite, so the quality of Alida's single soldiers can be considered as high in the dwarf. Soldiers of some army.

In short, the Duke Army on the high ground faces a powerful opponent beyond their half or even a generation.

Leave a bunch of wounds who can only be lying on the ground, and the Duke Army retired back to the woods in the opposite direction of the Alida army.

Schroord's order to quickly clean up the battlefield is to check the loss of artillery.

Fortunately, although there were traces of being moved, no artillery was pulled away, all of which stayed on the position, but the cannon frame of more than half of the artillery was destroyed.

"Why don't you get away the artillery earlier?"

Schroder was strange, and the questioned captives stayed on the position.

"Those southern guys (mercenaries) who have seen the world who have seen the whole world, there is nothing they can use, so they want to use these lightning hammers to bombard you, but later I saw you hit it, but could not pull away in time. , I destroyed the following shelf. "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "

The captive's answer made Schroder laugh a few times, but the weapon of artillery has appeared in history. Even if the mercenaries have been knowledgeable, how can it be fiddled with it, let alone the artillery moved the gunpowder when the artillery retreated. It's right.

"Immediately use the intact artillery to bombard the enemy, and at the same time organize artillery to repair the damaged artillery frame."

Schroder immediately issued an order.

Ferguson and Emans were still waiting for news.

Earlier, they sent a army to attack the Alida where the Aldar was deployed to deploy a thunderhammer. After seeing the banner that expressed his success, he fell into ecstasy. According to the next plan, the army on the high ground will pinch Alida with the front attack troops. people,

I saw the enemy forces below separated a group of people to the high ground. Ferguson ordered the second offensive forces to launch the second offensive forces. Back aid.

Later development caused Ferguson and Emonda to disappoint, and the Alda troops stayed in the same place remained motionless. The cavalry and infantry of the front attack continued to give up. The worse thing was that the banner of the high ground fell on the high ground.

"They are back!" A servant rushed over to report.

Then a group of people with a dying, full of face came to Fergus and Emanson.

Do not need to know what the situation is now, Fergus asked coldly, "What about a thunder hammer?"

The leader of the leader did not dare to raise his head, and shook his head with his head.

Fergus was stunned: "Didn't bring it back?"

After that, it was a long silence.

"waste!"

The mercenary captain was furious and raised his whip to pump his subordinates fiercely.

"Can you go up for a long time, can you do not do a few more people back?"

The captain was beaten uncomfortable, and he explained: "Lord Fergus, although the shelf with a lightning hammer is equipped with wheels, the Alida took away the horses on the high ground when retreating. Such a cunning guy The wheel was locked, and it was not far from manpower to drag or carry it.

Fergus stopped his whip. Tie Qing asked, "Do you have any gains?" He saw that after the mercenaries captured the highland, there was no movement on the thunder hammer on the highland. Obviously, he did not touch his subordinates. What clue is.

"Uh ... because the opponent counterattacked too fast, we haven't explored how to use them, but there is a brazier next to them, which is obviously related to the fire."

Fergus stared at: "Use your nonsense? Spray such a big smoke when launching, do you think I'm blind?"

The captain suddenly said in a hurry: "There is another important information. There is a strong strange smell on the high ground. The taste seems to ..."

He grabbed his ears and scratched his cheeks, quickly recalled the smell he heard in his mind, and suddenly patted his head and shouted, "Yes! It's sulfur, the strange smell of sulfur should be the smell after sulfur burning."

"sulfur?"

Fergus and Emanson issued questions at the same time, and they looked at each other. Sulfur is a very common fire, but no matter how severe the combustion, it cannot be linked to the kind of stunning momentum when the lightning hammer is launched. There must be something else.

No mistakes, read it in the 6-9 book forum!

Emerson leaned down while sitting on his horse and asked, "Did you carefully see the specific structure of the thunder hammer?"

The mercenary captain touched the back of his head, "The structure is very simple, just a large metal pipe, some are made of bronze, some are made of iron."

"When we return to the camp, you will draw a detailed picture for me."

"Yes, sir."

Just as Emerson and others were discussing the thunder hammer, the Alda army began to attack them actively, and the remaining artillery bombarded this side. Many troops deployed in the front began to move backwards without orders to avoid the whistling shells.

Fergus and Emerson could see that after the failure of the flanking attack and the failure of the multiple frontal attacks, the morale of the troops had fallen to the extreme.

"Damn it, this is the first time I've encountered such a small number of tough guys." Fergus complained bitterly in his heart. In his previous war career, he encountered tough opponents many times, but that was when the strength of both sides was not much different. In today's battle, even after the enemy received reinforcements, his number was three times that of the enemy.

The result was so humiliating...

Fergus looked north and saw the Arda people moving towards this side in a horizontal formation. The neat formation gave people an illusion from a distance - it was not a person, but a moving wall, full of oppression.

"Lord Emerson?"

The mercenary captain no longer had the arrogance he had before when he spoke.

Emerson nodded unwillingly: "Alas... retreat."

The battle on the border of the Dukedom finally came to an end.
