Chapter 240： Hollow square three

Just as Jaaisi's horse raised its front hooves, several shells whizzed towards it. A 6-pound shell nearly grazed his face.

The shell plunged into the ground not far away, and the splashed mud hit him in the face. The shell, still carrying a large amount of kinetic energy, immediately bounced off again.

"Bah bah—?"

The left front leg of a nearby war horse was broken in two by the bounced cannonball. It screamed in pain, and then fell to the ground and could not get up again. .

The cannonballs bounced on the ground, as if they were plowing the ground, fully releasing their power. The cavalry and war horses on the road were very unlucky. If they touched them, their skin would be broken;

The first round of shelling was only a test shot. The Arda artillery fired 6 shells at the enemy, and only 2 hit the target team. However, due to the relatively dense array of the opponents, they still achieved the goal of killing two people and three horses, and seriously wounding four. The result of five horses.

"Stay away! All spread out!"

This time without Jia Aisi's reminder, the cavalry of the Kent family was in chaos, and the original tight formation broke up noisily. Even if the knights didn't urge them, the frightened warhorses would be in a mess by themselves.

"Run! Speed ​​up and run!"

In order to prevent being targeted by the "Thunder Hammer", the cavalry urged their horses to run faster.

Jia Aisi, who was almost called by the heavenly father, was frightened into a cold sweat. It was too thrilling just now, and his right cheek still felt hot.

Just after running not far away, there were a few more "booming" sounds, and the artillery deployed at the other corner of the phalanx also opened fire!

This bombardment did not achieve any results, but the huge power made the cavalry even more chilling.

After being bombarded several times, several subordinates were killed one after another. Jaes finally realized what the situation was now - he had nothing to do with the phalanx in front of him!

One's own men and horses cannot approach the opponent, but the opponent's "Thunder Hammer" can chase and hit oneself. Moreover, the firing speed, range, and power of the "Thunder Hammer" are all far superior to those of catapults and ballistas, which have similar functions.

"withdraw!"

After reluctantly acknowledging the reality, he decisively gave the order to retreat, and led the knights and followers to form a sparse formation to retreat from the direction they came from.

Arda's "Thunder Hammer" chased their butts all the way to "send off" until they ran out of range.

…

Bryce held up the binoculars to observe the direction of the enemy's departure.

"It doesn't look like the other party is pretending to retreat!"

So he ordered the hollow phalanx to be disbanded, the first battalion and artillery company continued to guard the surrounding area, and the second battalion and transport company cleaned the battlefield.

After the order was issued, the battlefield suddenly became extremely silent.

This silence lasted only a few seconds before it was broken by a sudden noise.

"Long live!" "Long live!"

All the officers and soldiers broke out suddenly, shouting hysterically.

"We won!"

Everyone's face is filled with excitement, and their hearts are full of pride.

Needless to say, the recruits, the same is true for the veterans. Although they all participated in the battle to wipe out the pirates and put down the Bairdin rebellion, the level of thrills cannot be compared with the previous one.

Just now, I was a master knight who was nearly 300 head-on!

After going back, you can play for a lifetime, and then pass on your glorious deeds to your children and grandchildren.

Strictly speaking, nearly half of the cavalry of the Kent family are knight retinues, but for the former big soldiers, they are no different, as long as they ride majestic - what they think of as majestic - horses and dress gorgeously - It's also what they think is gorgeous—the armor is a big guy who can't afford to mess with it.

Now more than 200 big people who were once untouchable were forced to run away in desperation by themselves and their companions, leaving behind many corpses.

"God's protection is like wind, thunder and lightning~ Who doesn't know Lord Greyman and his soldiers~"

"Master Graeman~my lord~hero with shining laurels~your soldiers will always be the most loyal~"

"As long as you continue to let us sweep the enemy ~ we will overthrow the whole world for you ~"

The soldiers spontaneously sang the songs they sang during the previous march, and they sang more and more vigorously.

It felt a bit bragging to sing before, but after the battle just now, the officers and soldiers are now completely substituting into it.

"bump!"

The sudden sound of gunfire stopped everyone from going on.

The deputy commander, Joyce, looked stern. He held a smoking pistol in his right hand, and said sternly, "If I had turned the muzzle of the gun just a little bit, one of you would have been killed."

Then he winked at Bryce.

Bryce was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted, embarrassment flashed across his face-this guy was infected by the emotions of the officers and soldiers just now, and he was high with everyone.

"Ahem!" He coughed twice, put on a serious expression and ordered loudly: "Reconnaissance team, send someone to chase after them to see if they have really retreated!"

As soon as the words fell, a few cavalry emerged from the phalanx and rushed in the direction where the Kent family cavalry retreated.

Bryce said to everyone in a deep voice:

"I understand everyone's excitement at the moment But we are in the battlefield now, and we must put vigilance as the top priority. This situation is prohibited from happening again in the future! Immediately execute my order just now!"

"Yes!"

All the people restrained their minds and responded in unison.

So the 1st Infantry Battalion and the Artillery Company continued to be on guard, while the 2nd Infantry Battalion and the Transport Company spread out to search and clean up the battlefield in units of squads.

"Look! This horse is tall and strong! It's perfect for a cannon!"

"This armor is very valuable at first glance! It's shining...ah, there's still a bag of money!"

"I want to remind you that all the seizures must be attributed!"

The battlefield was full of laughter and laughter. Although I was frightened by Major Joyce for a while, the joy after the victory did not diminish at all.

Many cavalrymen of the Kent family became prisoners of the Arda army. They were either injured and unable to move, or their mounts were hung up, and they were chased back after running on two legs.

The soldiers of Arda gathered the prisoners who could still walk, and ordered loudly: "Stand in a row obediently!"

The captives with knight status began to put on airs:

"I warn you, pariah! I am a noble knight... Whoops! How dare you hit me!"

"Fuck you! How dare you show off after everything is like this!"

"I protest! You cannot treat a knight like this! Send your commander over here!"

"Protest against your size! If you continue to babble, you will be shot!"

Looking at the "fire crossbow" held by the soldiers, the prisoners became more honest.

While Arda's army was busy, the road to the north raised dust again, and the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield immediately became vigilant.

"It's the cavalry from the Heller family just now!"

An officer with a binoculars recognized him.
