Chapter 1018 The Battle of Priska (four, unbeaten record)(1/2)
Chapter 1,018 Battle of Prisca (Four, undefeated record)
Due to the use of more advanced gunpowder, when the gun is fired, unlike the thick and long-lasting white smoke when the cannon is fired in the past, the muzzle sprays slightly black and yellow gunpowder smoke. And it is different from the thick and long-lasting white smoke when the cannon fires.
It was much less in the past.
But even so, the smoke rolled over with the wind and rain, which still choked the soldiers next to the cannon and felt uncomfortable for a while.
As senior officers, everyone in Lorraine naturally stood a little further away and were not affected at all.
On the contrary, when the cannonball roared out of the barrel, in order to see the results of the battle more clearly, they all stood up on tiptoes unconsciously, stretched their necks and looked hard in the direction of the cannonball.
Everyone felt that a long time had passed, but in fact, just two seconds later, a bolt of lightning suddenly lit up over the densest military formation of the Southern Army.
It's just that this lightning is a weird round orange-red color.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud explosion.
Under the huge push of gunpowder, hundreds of small steel balls shot out in all directions, ruthlessly tearing apart the soldiers' armor, burrowing into their fragile skin, rolling through human tissues, and breaking everything in their path.
It shoots out from the other side, leaving a terrifying wound the size of a bowl on the human body.
Immediately, bright red blood spurted out from the wound.
Even if it is shot into the muddy water, the high-speed moving steel ball still makes a crackling sound.
The orange-red fire light dissipated, leaving only a cloud of smoke produced by the explosion.
When the smoke slowly dissipated, a terrifying scene was revealed.
I saw those soldiers of the Confederate Army falling down all at once, as if they had been crushed by invisible big feet.
Blood, mutilated limbs, and human tissue were scattered all over the floor, and everything visible to the naked eye was covered in scarlet color, making it look like a slaughterhouse.
There was sudden silence on the battlefield.
Only the mournful wails and screams of the injured were left.
Seeing the pool of blood that suddenly appeared in the enemy crowd, the coalition officers beside the artillery slowly put down their telescopes and were speechless for a moment.
Even though those on the opposite side were all sworn enemies, even though they were all professional soldiers who were used to seeing life and death, they still felt unbearable when they saw the hell-like miserable situation.
"Devil." Someone murmured in a low voice: "The person who invented this thing is definitely a terrible devil."
The officer next to him couldn't help but nodded slightly in agreement.
Lorraine turned back and gave the man a cold look.
The officer suddenly turned pale with fright.
As the saying goes, if you don't work hard and don't work hard, you won't be able to succeed.
That thing was brought over by Lord Luo. Even though he didn't invent it himself, it couldn't escape the hands of his lover, the greatest alchemist mage Lorena in the past five hundred years.
It's okay to say a few bad words about him secretly. But say it in front of him...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.
Lorraine looked at his face and smiled lightly.
The officer's heart jumped immediately: It's over, that ruffian heard everything~!
Don’t know how you will die?
Are you asking yourself to lead the death squads to attack Hadou's main formation?
Or should I be given a pair of nail clippers and let myself go play begging with Hadou?
…
He kept thinking wildly, and there was a faint layer of sweat on his forehead.
Although bullying junior officers and mistreating them mercilessly has always been the obligation of a superior. But when Lorraine saw his frightened appearance, he couldn't help but think of the first time he went out to work and was bullied when he was a rookie.
.
For a moment, there were quite a lot of mixed feelings.
He immediately bared his teeth and smiled comfortingly at the officer: "Thank you for the compliment."
The young officer was stunned for a moment, and then his face flushed with excitement. This boss is so magnanimous and magnanimous, it's really worth following him~!
At this time, General Hassell had recovered from the shock.
He looked at the cannons one after another, his eyes gleaming, and he almost drooled.
The adjutant next to him saw that his image was too embarrassing, so he immediately reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes.
General Hassell couldn't help but blush, coughed slightly, and said: "This thing is really good~!"
Lorraine shook his head, but with an expression of regret on his face, he said: "It's not good enough. Due to technical limitations, the chamber pressure cannot be increased. This thing is currently more like a mortar, and its range is not far.
"
Hassell hesitated for a moment and said: "That's enough, my respected Earl, that's good enough..."
At this time, the artillery officers of the Security Army had already assessed the effect of the shelling, then waved the small flags in their hands and loudly ordered: "Everyone is ready, the shooting angle is 35 degrees, reload!"
The order was immediately passed down layer by layer.
Nearly a hundred new artillery pieces have already been deployed under the small soil bag and are ready.
The security soldiers in black received the order and took action one after another.
Correct the angle of the muzzle, push the shell into the chamber, then put his head in his hands, squatting aside without saying a word, waiting for orders.
The artillery commander standing at the top of the slope glanced around and saw that down the slope, the commanders behind the artillery all raised the red flags in their hands - that was the artillery was ready and was just waiting to be fired.
Signal.
The officer immediately raised the red flag in his hand high, pointed it at the sky, and waved it downwards vigorously. At the same time, he shouted angrily: "Fire~!"
Nearly a hundred artillery pieces fired almost at the same time, and the flames ejected from the muzzles gathered together. From a distance, it looked like the breath of a group of giant dragons spitting out at the same time.
The sound of the cannons gathered together rolled across the entire battlefield with a power louder than thunder, shocking everyone on the battlefield.
When the artillery shell exploded above the Confederate army, it burst into orange flames, which looked like blooming fire roses from a distance. But the dazzling beauty was fleeting, and was followed by a deadly rain of bullets.
A large area of the southern army was instantly vacated.
When the first cannon shot sounded, Hadou, who was standing at the top of Priska City to watch the battle, clenched his fists instantly, straightened his old body, widened his eyes and looked straight in the direction of the muzzle fire, his expression changed.
He was completely pale, and the only thought in his mind was: miscalculation~!
The intelligence collected by General Hadou from all sources showed that Lorraine had many excellent artillery pieces, but it had a fatal weakness - those artillery pieces could not be used in rainy weather.
Neither the naval guns on the Victory nor the artillery under Archduke Rumain could fire normally in humid and rainy environments.
This is clearly stated in the textbook for teaching Almohad artillery.
Two days ago, he also ignored the casualties of his soldiers and forced them to attack. A large part of the reason was to prove this point~!
Without artillery, the coalition lost a sharp claw. Even Hadou could conclude that Lorraine and the others were brave enough to go deep alone because of the artillery in their hands.
On the battlefield, they play a huge role.
Although Hadou didn't know that Lorraine called artillery the god of war, he understood the significance of artillery in war very clearly.
Artillery is the weapon that changed warfare.
Nothing was beyond his expectation. During the continuous rain, the cannons of the allied forces on the opposite side went out.
He gathered superior forces and captured the outer positions of Lorraine's camp in just two days, blocking all escape routes.
Although the casualties were high, the progress was going smoothly, and it was only a matter of time before Lorraine was eliminated.
Once Lorraine is killed, it will have an immeasurable impact on the peacekeeping forces' operations in the Almohad.
Even though Lorraine is a ruthless person who dares to fight the High Priest of the Undead face to face, someone will naturally deal with him when the time comes.
But the sudden artillery fire destroyed everything in Hadu. He didn't realize that his nails had pierced his palms, and blood dripped down his fingers.
When the allied forces center opposite suddenly burst into flames, Hadou was completely in despair.
He calculated everything correctly, except that he miscalculated the strength of the Flying Eagle Group.
This is not surprising, because the activities of the Flying Eagle Group have always avoided the south of Almohad, and they will not foolishly go to the enemy.
As the young prince of the Ruman Empire and the boyfriend of Her Majesty Queen Isabella's cousin, Leo even adopted a unilateral trade embargo in an extremely despicable manner in order to trap these southerners.
means.
Once anyone is found doing business with those southerners, they will immediately be blacklisted by the Flying Eagle Group.
Under such a strong blockade, it is naturally impossible for General Hadou to have a detailed understanding of the Flying Eagle Group.
In fact, his understanding of the Flying Eagle Group is far less profound than that of the Vatican's bastards. Many people in the Vatican died at the hands of the Flying Eagle Group.
"This era is about to change..." Hadou looked up at the clouds in the sky and murmured.
The subordinates beside them only saw their always confident commander, whose face was frighteningly pale at the moment.
And they could only look at the chaotic battlefield in confusion, unable to think of any clues.
They have always been accustomed to following the alpha wolf, thinking that they only need to fight hard. But in this situation, even the alpha wolf doesn't know what to do. What solution can they come up with?
To be continued...
