"Xu Jin alternately shoots!"
"Get ready!"
Bryce shouted, and he rode his horse and walked together with the officers and soldiers. Many generals of the coalition forces went into battle with their troops, not because they were brave, but because they were afraid that if they were not present, their Soldiers would collapse.
There was a crashing sound, and a thousand people of the Alarda Army lined up in three neat rows. After hearing Bryce's order, the first row immediately flattened their guns and pointed the muzzles at the Kent Army in front.
At this distance, Arda Soldiers could already clearly see the features of Soldiers on the other side.
Bryce raised his hand and waved it down heavily. "Fire!"
Looking from the perspective of the Kent Army, I saw a burst of smoke suddenly erupting from the opposite side, followed by a weird explosion sound and a "whooshing" sound caused by something rubbing against the air.
Many people will be unlucky next! Especially the spearmen who stand in the first row to protect the archers.
When they saw Alarda People stop, they judged that the other party was about to launch a "fire crossbow", so based on their past experience in dealing with bows and arrows, they kept swinging their spears in the hope of knocking down anything that might look like crossbow arrows.
But this set has no effect at all in front of the deadly Metal Projectile that shoots over quickly.
When the first Volley Fire sound sounded, the spearmen standing in front of the archers almost fell to the ground neatly. There were only a few left who continued to wave their spears in a daze, and they had not yet realized what was going on.
The Arda Soldiers equipped with Flintlock Gun are arranged very closely. At a distance of 50 meters, the Smoothbore Gun tube can also ensure a certain accuracy. Moreover, the spearmen opposite them were lined up very closely, so even if the bullets missed the target, they could still hit the people around the target.
Painful groans soon sounded throughout the Kent Army right-wing front. Soldiers who fell on the ground was twisting and struggling, and many people lost their breath after moving slightly.
"Cum! Cum quickly!"
"Remote suppression Alarda People!"
Kent Army The officers on the right wing remained calm and immediately urged the archers to counterattack.
When the opponent was in panic, the first row of the Alarda Army stayed in place to load ammunition, the two rows behind passed over the comrades in front, and then the new first row was ready to shoot.
They were hit by another wave of arrows, but this time it was much sparser, causing few casualties.
Bryce gave an order, "Fire!"
There was another burst of gunfire on the battlefield. This time, it was the archers of the Kent Army who were unlucky. After knocking down many people, they became frightened. Many archers began to retreat and hide behind others. Don't let yourself stand in front anyway. They have already seen that long-range weapons such as "Fire Crossbow" do not project in a curve after being launched, but attack the target directly in front of them in a nearly straight line, so whoever stands in the first row has a greater chance of being unlucky.
So Kent Army's right wing began to slowly move backwards.
But as far as the overall situation on the battlefield is concerned, the form of the coalition forces is not good.
Kent Army has more cavalry, a larger total number of people, and a higher armor coverage rate. The balance of victory is gradually tilting towards them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Earl Parker asked all the generals who were proficient in martial arts to come forward in person. He even ignored his age and led his Personal Guard cavalry into battle.
The appearance of the generals inspired the lower-level officers and soldiers, and their morale improved a little, but I don't know how long it will last. After all, the essential balance of power has not changed.
"We must end the fighting on the left wing as soon as possible and then go to support other friendly forces."
After looking at the overall situation, Bryce called Joyce to discuss and made the above decision.
At this time, Alarda Army had fired four times, causing huge casualties to the Kent Army on the opposite side. The enemy hadn't dispersed yet, but had just run away. However, the power of the arrows they shot was greatly reduced, and they were scattered in a very chaotic and out-of-scale manner.
"Salvo Fire Get ready!"
After the order, the first row of Soldiers immediately knelt down on one knee, and the three rows of Soldiers pointed their guns at the enemy in unison.
"Fire!"
Three rows of Soldiers pulled the trigger at the same time.
There was a loud noise in an instant, so powerful that it even frightened other people on the battlefield.
The two parties who were fighting stopped at the same time and looked in the direction of the Alarda Army.
A scene of lions fighting rabbits is taking place.
The power of the three-row musket Salvo Fire is huge. It not only succeeded in mowing down a large number of archers who were bending their bows and setting arrows, but also completely destroyed the psychological defense of the remaining archers.
"Father in Heaven!"
An archer yelled in collapse and turned around to run away. The companion who was standing in front of him was hit by a stray bullet. His head cracked open like an open watermelon, and his skull hit him backwards.
This shout was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Under his leadership, the surrounding Kent Army Soldiers also turned around and ran back. Although they were retreating slowly before, they still maintained basic order, but now everything is in chaos, and everyone wishes they could have more legs.
Bryce drew his sword and pointed forward. "Attack!"
"Kill!"
The three rows of Arda Soldiers suddenly burst into a collective cry of killing, and then rushed towards the disintegrating Kent Army archers with their loaded Bayonet muskets.
The few who still insisted on shooting arrows quickly turned around and ran away when they saw the enemy rushing over.
Kent Army's archers had long since lost the protection of their spearmen, and their own melee equipment was just a dagger, which was unable to fight against Arda Soldiers's Bayonet. What's more, they were still in retreat, and no one stood up to organize their counterattack. The officers themselves were frightened, and they didn't know where to flee.
Josse was holding Bayonet and followed closely beside Sergeant Makarov.
In the past, whether it was against cavalry units or archers, muskets were used to hit the enemy from a distance. But this time, they were going to fight the enemy face to face... well, actually, they were fighting behind the scenes, because the enemy was running away now.
Sergeant Makarov caught up with an enemy soldier and stabbed Bayonet cleanly into his back.
Seeing them chasing after them, several other enemy soldiers nearby turned around and pulled out their daggers, each with a fierce look in their eyes.
"Ahhhhh!"
Not sure if it was to intimidate them or to embolden themselves, the archers shouted angrily, then charged forward with their daggers raised.
Marklov gestured behind him and raised Bayonet to block the front dagger.
Josse and another comrade-in-arms faced the archer rushing from behind. The comrade-in-arms pushed away the opponent's dagger, and when the opponent staggered, Josse accurately stabbed Bayonet into his left rib, as accurately as in daily training.
No hesitation, no mercy, who would think so much at the moment of life and death.
However, if I think about it carefully after the battle, it might be hard to tell...
The other Kent Army Soldiers who tried to fight back saw that their companion who was rushing in front was killed easily, their bodies softened and their daggers fell to the ground.
"Spare your life! We surrender!"
They knelt on the ground with their buttocks in the air, shaking their bodies.
Similar scenes are constantly playing out on the right wing of the Kent Army.
"Congratulations, Lieutenant Colonel, a textbook defeat!"
Third Battalion Commander Joyce said this to Bryce with satisfaction.
