145 Three Fronts Shooting Knight
The Great, who had no way out, first drove a large group of Knights directly under the Frank Empire to launch a charge, while he himself brought more well-equipped. Many people were wearing full-body armored guards who were "imported" from the dwarves.
It has to be said that these direct knights of Emperor Charles the Great are much more reliable than those noble private knights. They kept shouting "For the Emperor", ignoring the rows of colleagues who were knocked down by lead bullets, and crashed into Xiao Yunyang's French Flintlock Squadron.
This is really a bloody battle that is evenly matched!
Because these French flintlock rifles generally do not have armor-piercing, they are very fragile in the rushing in Frank Empire knights. In addition, the formation of gun queuing is very thin, and the first level of gun queuing line was drilled through when one hit the first layer of gun queuing line...
The Frank Empire knights who had just chiseled through the Han army musketeers in front of them before they cheered for victory, they found another row of Han army musketeers in front of them...
However, the speed of the Frank Empire Knight who had just been cut through inevitably decreased. Although he was still moving forward, he would not be able to hit the opponent's second row of fronts for a while.
As a result, I heard rows of gunfire sounds one after another, sweeping by!
The Frank Empire Knights who had just drilled through the first flintlock corps line fell down again, even more casualties than when they first attacked the first Han army musketeers!
"The whole team, keep charging, don't stop!"
After all, the Frank Empire Knights were a battle-hardened force. After seeing this scene, the leading captains shouted loudly, while gathering the surrounding Frank Empire Knights, they drew out their saber or knight's sword to charge again!
When I broke through the first Han army front, I had already used a rifle.
The cavalry is a disposable item on the battlefield. When the cavalry strikes the enemy, no matter whether the cavalry breaks, the knights in the charge must let go!
Unless the knight slows down before the armed rifle hits the enemy's body, under the charge, the kinetic energy transmitted from the armed rifle is enough to destroy its actual arm under the inertia of charge.
Therefore, ninety percent of the Frank Empire knights who broke the first Han army front had no guns in their hands.
The Frank Empire Knights, who were disciplined and highly honored, quickly accelerated their rush again amid gunfire.
They didn't stop at all, so it was not difficult to rush again. If it weren't for the lead bullet's lethality, they wouldn't even need to slow down.
After all, a piece of lead bullet hit and fell down a group of Frank Empire knights. If you don’t want your love horse to trip and hit, you must slow down and avoid it.
The lead bullets of the musket are terrible, but they cannot withstand the many knights of the Frank Empire!
The most important thing is that they are not only crowded, but also full of courage!
So, the Frank Empire Knights, who had experienced the baptism of lead bullets, rushed into the French Flintlock Corps again on the second front, and successfully drilled through its thin line!
The front line of the French Flintlock Corps is actually four rows. When firing, the first and second rows fired volleys, the first row and half-squatted and the second row stood, and then loaded on the spot after the volley. Then the third and fourth rows walked forward to become the first and second rows, and then fired volleys.
While waiting for the Frank Empire Knights to rush up, the first two rows of French flintlock spearmen will set up bayonets to serve as spear formations.
The flintlock spearmen in the back two rows continued to shoot.
However, because the Frank Empire knights rushed too hard, the French flintlock spearmen in the back two rows often had a few chances of volleys.
The French flintlock spearmen on the first and second fronts that were broken did not collapse, but instead retreated from line rows to defensive circles, continuing to shoot and kill the Frank Empire knights who were rushing over.
These French flintlock corps can withstand up to 70% of casualties, so they will naturally not be easily destroyed.
For the French Flintlock Corps with a scale of 10,000 people, 70% of the casualties mean that 7,000 people lost their combat effectiveness!
Although the Frank Empire knights broke through two fronts one after another, in fact, the French flintlock spearmen they killed were less than half of them.
The gunfire on the battlefield was not only weakened because the two fronts were broken, but instead became increasingly dense!
Because the Frank Empire Knight who had just broken through the second front found that there was a third one ahead...
This really cost a life!
At this time, the Frank Empire knights who were slashing with horsepower did not consume much physical strength. After all, they were the body boards of middle and high-level warriors, and their physical strength was far superior to ordinary soldiers.
However, the huge casualties and the Han army musketeers who fought to the death kept shooting black guns and volleys, causing the morale of the Frank Empire knights to inevitably begin to decline in the face of their passing lives.
As for Xiao Yunyang behind, he was already smiling from ear to ear at this time.
The fighting spirit of these Frank Empire knights is too strong, and the fighting spirit on the personal panel is soaring. After a while, the battle will exceed the total of all previous battles!
However, when the Frank Empire Knights rushed to the third front, that is, the last front, the speed of the war soul increasing was significantly reduced.
Xiao Yunyang took off his personal panel and took a look to find out the reason.
The Frank Empire Knights who rushed to the third front could no longer form a unified rush, and many Frank Empire Knights had already begun to run away toward the two wings!
Xiao Yunyang Neng can see it, so can Charlie the Great!
So, Emperor Charles ordered the flag-holder around him to raise his flag high and charge with the last guard knight!
Emperor Charles did not rush towards the first and second Han army fronts that had been broken and had become one defensive circular formation node, but rushed directly to the relatively complete third front.
The French flintlock spearmen on the third front soon saw a team of Frank Empire knights rushing over from the flanks with obviously higher armor.
The French flintlock spearmen on this side quickly turned the formation and pointed their muzzle at the knights who were charging.
This is another major advantage of the flintlock.
Because flintlock rifles do not require too large soldiers to be spaced, the length of the array is often not too long, and changing a formation is much easier than a raider!
The speed of the French flintlock spearmen is one of their points, which is obviously one level higher than hiring musketeers.
After losing the advantage of armor, the troops of this level have super strong modern military discipline and array change advantages. They are very flexible on the battlefield and do not require Xiao Yunyang's orders to command.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, Xiao Yunyang did not issue any other orders except for a defensive order that set out three fronts, and it was entirely up to the French flintlock spearmen to command and mobilize them.
