Chapter 303：

?In the military dictionary of this world, the term street fighting has never appeared. 35xs Generally speaking, the city is lost when the city is broken. When the attacker breaks into the city wall, it can basically declare the victory of the attack. It is very rare to seize the inner city area by street. In most cases, the defenders will either get caught without a fight, or run away while taking advantage of the chaos.

When Jayce led the cavalry into the town, he took it for granted that he had won, and the next thing to do was to intercept Paul Grayman who was about to escape.

But the invention of firearms is bound to bring subversive changes to warfare, including street fighting. The Arda army built barricades in the town of St. Mir, blocked the traffic hub with rapid-fire artillery, and dug shooting holes in the buildings on both sides of the street. Soldiers with muskets ambushed them. In order to ensure the continuity of the firepower, the soldiers formed a group of 4 to 5 people. , Only one person in each group is responsible for shooting, and the others are responsible for loading.

When the cavalry of the Duke's army broke into the streets of St. Mir, they were greeted with heavy fire from the front and from the left and right.

However, their offensive power is limited by the narrow streets. In the words of the game Hearts of Iron, the width of the battlefield is too small, and the troops rushing to the front are limited, so they cannot break through with one blow.

Especially horrifying were the artillery deployed behind the barricades, in which environment the shotguns were unbelievably powerful, reaping a swath of life with each shot.

The cavalry of the Duke's army enjoyed what they had received when the Ottoman troops stormed the streets of Vienna in 1683.

But Jia Aisi was unfortunately caught because he charged too far forward, and he was beaten into a sieve by both men and horses.

After Jaes led the cavalry into the town, Emerson and a group of officers including the two mercenary captains were commanding the infantry to quickly approach St. Mir Town.

Every soldier planned how to get something after entering the town. They ran desperately, lest they would be one step behind and others would **** the loot.

Just as they stepped into the town, a sudden change occurred, and the roar of fire crossbows and thunder hammers suddenly came from the depths of the street.

Not long after, the cavalry who rushed into the town before appeared in front of the infantry, but they were still chasing the enemy vigorously before, but now they fled back in a panic.

The infantry could see clearly that the armor of the knights was in tatters, some of them were missing arms and legs, and they didn't have the momentum they had when they set out.

The fool also understood what had happened, "I lost, I lost!" someone yelled in fear, and the panic quickly spread to the entire army.

The fleeing cavalry ignored the low-status infantry at all, trampled on them mercilessly with their horseshoes, and only cared about escaping for their own lives.

Without Jia Aisi as the highest command, the army that was originally pieced together by lords and mercenaries from all over the place quickly fell apart, and it was impossible to gather effective counterattack forces. Emerson was also powerless to change the situation, so he could only beat his mount vigorously and ran wildly.

Arda's army began to pursue the victory. They really pursued the victory and encountered no effective resistance at all. Enemy cavalry can quickly leave the battlefield, infantry are not so lucky.

Under Paul's order, the Arda army devoted almost all of its forces to chasing down the enemy. According to post-war statistics, the number of enemy soldiers killed, wounded and captured in the Battle of St. Mir was as high as 4,000.

After counting, Schroeder suggested to Paul, "My lord, I speculate that Maltz and Jaes must have drawn troops from other battlefields, otherwise it is impossible to explain why so many soldiers suddenly appeared in front of us. Do you want to inform us? Others in the coalition, tentatively attacking"

Paul pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, we are still some distance away from Sente, and nothing may happen on the way. Let our allies be careful, I don't want others to rush to Sente special."

At this time, a group of soldiers carried a corpse on a stretcher and placed it in front of Paul and Schroeder. The officer leading the team said, "My lords, after our careful identification, this should be Jaai, the son of the usurper Maltzkent." Skent."

"Oh" "What?" Paul and Schroeder both exclaimed, unexpectedly catching a big fish.

His son was in charge of Maltz's military operation. If Giles disappeared, the blow to him would not be fatal.

Paul gently lifted the white cloth covering the stretcher and glanced at the horror inside.

He sighed, "Sigh, if it wasn't for your father and son being too threatening, how could we have come to this point."

Then he ordered the officer to "send someone to send Jia Aisi's body to Center. As for the other people's bodies, the weather is hot now, and they are prone to disease, so they should be cremated on the spot and then buried. If you can get your identity, you must write it down." .”

"Yes" the officer glanced at Paul with admiration, saluted and left.

A few days later, in the duke's mansion in Center City, Malzkent looked at Jayce blankly.

It's just that this child whom he had placed high hopes on in the past has turned into a cold corpse.

He reached out and stroked his son's face, not caring about the thick layer of limestone on it.

"My child my child"

The Duke kept going, his eyes seemed to be reminiscing about the old days, the clips of Jais and him A loyal servant couldn't bear to see the Duke so sad, and came forward to persuade "Master Duke , and please give me condolences."

"Why don't you come"

The servant seemed to hear the Duke whispering something.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

The servant didn't hear clearly, and continued to approach Maltz to ask.

"I said why you didn't come"

It sounded like the howling of wild animals, which made the servant tremble with fright.

who hasn't come yet

Just when the servant was confused, the Duke turned around, and he saw a horrifying scene that he had never seen before.

At this moment, the Duke's face had been distorted into an inhuman appearance, his eyes were glowing red, and in his mouth, the two sharp canine teeth were extremely exposed.

The servant was already terrified, the man in front of him was not the majestic duke in the past, but he was clearly a monster who chose and devoured people.

It chooses to eat someone, that's right, the monster stretched out its right hand in a lightning-fast manner, and with a thud, the long nails pierced the servant's abdomen like sharp knives, and then pierced out from his back. .

"I want you to pay the price"

The monster grabbed the servant's head with his left hand and tore it off forcefully, blood gushed out wildly.

He immediately brought his mouth to the servant's neck, and drank like a fine wine.

"I will have my revenge"

With a loud roar, two bat-like fleshy wings burst out from the monster's back.

"I, Maltskent, will walk the world as a family of blood until the hatred in my heart is eliminated"
