Charlemagne had just made plans for his expedition when Goel sent the news to Chris.
In fact, Charlemagne didn't want to hide anything. Out of politeness, he even wanted to send a letter of challenge to Reggie. With a land force of 10,000 people and a navy of 10,000 people, there is a huge difference between such a large-scale battle and a sneak attack.
There can be no secrets about place, time and place.
In the past month, Charlemagne made full preparations, and of course, Reggie did not disappoint his opponent.
Nolos built two new steam engines. With the joint efforts of the three steam engines, Reggie built a total of thirty-two cannons and 800 rounds of artillery shells. In addition, he was able to ensure that each soldier had a musket.
and a hundred rounds of ammunition.
Two days later, Narses set off with his army. Although Conrad had planned all the tactics for him, the chief maester still did not trust his nephew, so he chose to go with the army.
Although he did not dare to show it, Narses was extremely dissatisfied in his heart. Having Conrad by his side meant that Narses became a complete puppet, and he had almost no chance to command the battle according to his own ideas.
When leading the army to the intersection, Alice proposed to let the wizards explore the way to prevent any ambush.
But Conrad thinks this is not necessary at all. He does not intend to let Alice participate in any part of this war, and he does not want Alice to get any chance to take credit.
Narses did not dare to disobey Conrad's order. Facts proved that Conrad's judgment was correct. Reggie did not arrange any ambush. In front of an army of 10,000 people, an ambush of dozens or even hundreds of people was tantamount to
For a suicide attack, Reggie's troops were very limited, and he didn't want to give away lives in vain.
His army was neatly arranged under the guard tower. The road where guard tower No. 5 is located is very spacious, so spacious that ten thousand people can arrange a formation that is not too crowded. However, there are only 500 people on Reggie's side, among whom
Including two hundred of the First Army and three hundred orc soldiers, plus twelve cannons and forty-eight gunners.
If you can look down from the air, the disparity between the formations of the two sides is so disparate that it makes people laugh. It looks like a whale trying to swallow a carp. Narses even feels that he does not need to attack, and can destroy the opponent's enemy with just one charge.
The position is leveled.
"Do we still need to attack that castle?" Narses pointed to the guard tower in the distance, "I think it is no longer necessary."
Conrad was also a little surprised. He thought that Reggie would definitely retreat to Shattering Snow City. At least he would stuff all the soldiers into the castle, and then launch his flying steel dragon, relying on the terrain and
The air superiority slowly dealt with them. Conrad had already thought about how to deal with the flying
He did not use the gunpowder-driven dragon-slaying crossbow like Sophia. Instead, he installed the Golden Eagle Kingdom's kerosene on the dragon-slaying crossbow. This is also a very effective method. If the crossbow hits the airship, the internal buffer will
It is likely to catch fire or even cause a hydrogen explosion.
But he didn't expect that Reggie would choose to fight directly on the flat ground. He didn't even see the shadow of the airship.
In Conrad's view, Reggie's actions were completely irritating. Could it be that in extreme despair, Reggie gave up resistance and chose to die with dignity?
In any case, this is the most ideal situation for Conrad and Narses. According to Conrad's expectation, at least two thousand soldiers will be lost to deal with that sentry tower, but judging from the current situation
Look, Gnar's judgment is very accurate. There is no need to attack the guard tower. Someone in the army recognizes Reggie Victor. He is standing opposite. This can't be a trap. This is a pure battle. Charge up and kill him.
Kill him, kill everyone here, and this battle will be over.
Nar wanted to conduct a complete war, and a complete war meant complete ceremonies. He thought of declaring war in front of the two armies.
Conrad visually measured the distance between the two armies, which was about eight hundred feet. If Nar walked into the battlefield, he would only be four hundred feet away from the opponent's military formation. At this distance, if
The enemy suddenly charges and Narses' life may be in danger.
"Kid, etiquette is necessary, but you don't need to do it yourself," Conrad smiled. "Let a brave soldier declare war. For Reggie Victor, this is enough respect.
Got it!"
"But according to the ceremony on the battlefield, the commander should be the one to step forward..."
"That's enough! Now is not the time for you to show off your power!" Conrad frowned, "Reggie Victor is just a stateless lord, and a viscount at that. You are the commander-in-chief of the Lion Country, you are a
Marquis, your status is not equal, and the ceremony of declaring war does not need to be carried out in an equal way."
According to Conrad's order, Gnar sent a cavalry to the center of the battlefield. Reggie Victor knew that this was a declaration of war. He was about to step forward to fight, but was stopped by Jarvan.
"Judging from his clothes, he is not a general, but an ordinary soldier. You should not go there, otherwise we will be humiliated."
"Let me go," Iron Skull picked up the battle ax and said, "If he dares to humiliate me, I will chop off his head."
Jiawen shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate for you to go. Judging from your status, you are already considered a general and should not talk to ordinary soldiers."
"Where are there so many damn rules!" Iron Skull said angrily, "Are we allowed to argue here all day?"
Broken Bones said from the side: "What the Commander-in-Chief said makes sense. You are all persons of status, so let me handle this matter!"
Iron Skull looked at the broken bones, rolled his eyes and said, "I heard your wrist is made of tree roots, but be sure not to break it!"
Broken Bones sneered: "Just open your eyes and watch carefully, see how hard the wrists made of tree roots are!"
Broken Bones rode his war horse to the opposite side of the cavalry. This cavalryman had fought many battles. He recognized the orc's appearance and was sure that this man was not Reggie Victor.
"Whoever you are, can we get started?" Narses chose a ruthless man. This cavalryman had no fear and didn't talk much.
"Of course we can start," Broken Bones smiled, "Should we start between you and me, or everyone?"
The cavalryman said with a cold expression: "I really want to chop off your head, but I'm not here to fight with you. If you are willing to kneel down and lick my boots, I can also ask your kind Majesty to spare your life."
Bone Broken smiled, turned over and stepped off the horse. It was a very dangerous move to dismount on the battlefield. Iron Skull couldn't help but cursed: "What does this idiot want to do again!"
Broken Bones really did something weird, he peed on the other person.
"Did you see? My boots are not dirty, but there is a spot that is dirty, and I want you to lick them clean for me!"
The sound of bone crushing was so loud that all the soldiers could hear it clearly. Listening to the laughter coming from the opponent's formation, Nal cursed: "Shameless!" Reggie praised: "
pretty!"
The cavalry suppressed their anger and returned to the military formation, and Broken Bone also rode back on his horse.
Nar ordered his men to blow the horn and the battle began.
The charging momentum of the ten thousand troops was like an overwhelming force, and the earth was shaking. Reggie ordered the cannon to be fired immediately, and the gunner pulled the match rope, and twelve shells were fired at the moment the enemy charged.
Conrad thought that Reggie would use bombs, because there were indeed trebuchets in Reggie's military formation, but the range of the trebuchets was very limited. At the same height, it generally would not exceed three hundred feet. He had warned
Gnar, let the soldiers disperse immediately after charging. As long as the soldiers are dispersed enough, there is no need to worry about the power of the bomb.
But he did not notice the barrel under the trebuchet. With the range and rate of fire of the artillery, the cavalry had no chance to disperse.
The first round of cannonballs overturned the first group of cavalry immediately after the sound of the cannon. A cannonball fell in the center of the enemy's formation. The huge air wave knocked Conrad off his horse. The old chief bachelor lost consciousness. His nephew finally
When he had the opportunity to personally command the battle, Narses was in a panic and did not make any response. He still let the infantry follow the cavalry to continue charging.
Each artillery was equipped with four gunners. They skillfully removed the shells and loaded the second shell. This was repeated. By the time the fourth round of shells was fired, Nar's front was already filled with dead bodies.
The soldiers fell into panic, and there was serious chaos in the formation. Some people were already ready to escape. It was only then that someone reminded Nal that he still had a blunderbuss.
Nal quickly mobilized the Fire Gun team, and with the cover of the front row of soldiers, they advanced three hundred feet. Under the intensive firepower, they could not take a step closer.
The captain was forced to give the order to shoot. The moment he saw the musket, Reggie was frightened. He did not expect that the other party had actually developed a musket. He immediately ordered the soldiers to raise their shields, but he also knew very well what was going on.
The thing is, if the musket is powerful enough, the shield won't help at all.
But when the opponent finished firing the first round of bullets, Reggie found that he was overthinking. The range of this primitive front-loaded firecracker could not exceed two hundred feet, but now the distance between the two sides was five hundred feet, and the soldiers held up their shields.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't even hear the impact of the shield.
The Fire Gun Captain was also aware of the problem of range. The Fire Gun Team he led braved artillery fire and charged forward while loading ammunition. At this time, what awaited him was a crazy counterattack from the revolver.
The 300-man Fire Gun team was quickly exhausted. Narses was still desperately urging the soldiers to charge. The nearly 30% battle damage had already caused the soldiers to lose their fighting spirit. At this moment, he heard another
A fatal voice came out: "Declare war on the false king Chris!"
Goel burned the battle flag of the Lion Kingdom, raised his spear, and led his soldiers from the end of the team to charge towards Narses.
