Chapter 63: Iron shoulders and black pot(1/2)
While Winters was busy moving the Hudders, the battle in the Seklers was getting hot.
Hud's army raised fire to attack the north wall with a little light cavalry.
However, they secretly sent elite soldiers, without lighting the lights or making noises, and each of them got off the horse with bows and swords and fought straight to the floating bridge behind the camp.
But the barbarians underestimated Sekler's sense of smell.
The Brigadier General saw through the reality of the Hudd and quickly adjusted and deployed accordingly.
He first dispatched Robert's brigade to form a formation at Qiaotou to defend himself, and then concentrated the musketeers in the camp on the south wall.
The Robert square formation and the southern wall of the camp are completely covered by muskets, and any enemy passing through this place will encounter cross-fire in multiple directions.
The Hed's figure was illuminated by the fire that Sekler had arranged in advance, and the Paratu Musketeers fired rounds of volleys.
This narrow open space, which is more than ten meters wide, is completely transformed into a killing area.
Hed's armored soldiers charged with volleyball guns. Before he could get close to the pontoon bridge, he had already stopped.
When they fought closely with the Paratu square formation, they were bleeding from the muskets behind them. They quickly couldn't hold on and began to retreat.
The soldiers of Robert's brigade watched the barbarians retreat, and before they could lick their wounds, another group of armored barbarians waved their scimitars to attack them.
There is no time to breathe, gunfire, shouting, and fighting continues, and it is destined to be difficult to endure tonight.
The Heds thought that the three thousand Palatu infantry wanted to use the pontoon bridge to retreat, so they selected elite troops and took turns to attack the pontoon bridge.
But in fact, Sekler had no idea of retreating to the south bank at all. It was purely an emergency for the Jeska Brigade to send the pontoon bridge.
The pontoon even prematured the attack time of the Heds and knocked Sekler's combat plan a hammer.
But the accident has happened, and no matter how annoyed it is, it is useless.
General Sekler then took advantage of the situation and used the floating bridge as bait to lure the Heds to attack, and used muskets to continuously kill the enemy's elites.
After four advances and four retreats, the Hudd also noticed that something was wrong - the two-legged guy was bleeding from a knife.
The Heds decisively changed their strategies, and the frontal feint attack turned into a strong attack, and the pressure on the camp defenders increased sharply.
Sekler had no choice but to transfer some of the musketeers to other places to support.
After dispersing the forces of the Paratu army, the Heds began to use some messy tactics to try to win by surprise.
The barbarian first pulled dozens of war horses in front of the square formation, with hay tied to the ponytail and applied grease.
Lieutenant Colonel Robert was a little confused at first, but when he saw a flame rising from his horse's butt, he realized what the barbarian wanted to do.
The "Fire Horse" neighed and rushed towards the square, and Hurd's swordsman and archers then covered and killed them.
The Heds' Chitzer surprised the Palatun, but the width of the Robert square was very narrow - less than ten meters, making it difficult for the fire horse to accurately crash into the square.
Lieutenant Roy jumped out of the square formation and made a sound explosion technique at the Fire Horse Formation, and the Paratu musketeers also opened fire.
Although the horse was frightened, it did not foolishly hit the spear and the fire. It deflected slightly, and then passed through the edge of the square formation and escaped along the river bank.
Losing the cover of the fire horse formation, the Heds were once again exposed to the Palathus. After several rounds of fire between the musket and the hard bow, the Heds, who were obviously at a loss, retreated again in a panic.
The plan to break the square formation failed, and the Hed, who was forcing the camp wall, also retreated.
Except for the wailing of the dying, nothing could be heard on the battlefield for a moment.
But Robert's brigade had no time to rest, so they immediately started digging trenches around the square formation.
Taking advantage of the battle, half of the brigade of soldiers quietly left the camp and went to replenish Robert's brigade.
They carried the much-needed gunpowder and lead from Robert's brigade, and brought Sekler's instructions.
"Sir, the general ordered me to tell you. The master general of the barbarian obviously could no longer hold back and was likely to be suppressed by the entire army. As long as you can withstand the last round of offensive, you will be the first contribution tonight." Captain William carefully repeated.
"What's the first merit?" Robert sneered repeatedly, inserted the shovel in his hand to the ground, and said disdainfully: "The old man likes to fool people with such cheap words! If you can hold on, just talk about it!"
Captain William didn't know how to answer the conversation, and the atmosphere was awkward for a moment.
"Why are you standing stupidly?" Robert glared at the captain: "Whoever brings you, come and dig the trenches!"
The Huds, who had been silent for a while, began to shout in unison again to boost their momentum.
Lieutenant Colonel Robert spat and continued to dig the trench.
The Hudders could be vaguely heard in the darkness approaching.
"Ignite!" the lieutenant colonel ordered.
Several soldiers ran out to light the fire and ran back to the formation as if they were running away.
The firelight found the figure of the enemy. There were more barbarians coming this time than the previous waves combined.
However, the equipment is poor, with leather robes, iron helmets, and armor-tie, far inferior to the elite armor-tea soldiers before.
It seems that the barbarians are really under the pressure of the entire army, and they plan to kill Robert's brigade by relying on the number of people.
Lieutenant Colonel Robert arranged his defenses and waited for the enemy to enter the range. He regretted not bringing a few cannons out.
Cannons and shotguns can beat such intensively advancing mobs to the point where they cannot find them.
"How great would it be if I had two cannons now? Even if it was a two-pound cannon. No, one can be done." Robert murmured his head in his heart using the stiff method of artillery.
Every time the Hurds took a step forward, they would shout in unison to boost their courage.
Lieutenant Roy saw the fire at the farthest was trampled out and ordered loudly: "Must, get ready!"
The musketeers walked to the outermost periphery of the square formation, set up the musket, and pressed their shoulders against the wooden support.
Immediately afterwards, the second fire was trampled out.
"Open the gunpowder pool!" Roy amplified his voice with magic.
Musketeers opened the gunpowder pool cover one after another.
A fire represents distance. When the third fire is trampled, it means that the enemy has entered fifty meters.
All the Paratus held their breath, gritted their teeth, and waited for the battle to begin.
But the musketeers did not wait for the lieutenant's order, and what came into their ears was a series of harsh gongs - from behind the Heds.
Hearing the gong, the fierce Hudd turned around and ran away.
Robert's brigade has been unable to figure out what the barbarians are doing since the lieutenant colonel.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Sekler, who was guarding the wall of the camp, watched the Heds lit a torch, retreating like a tide, and almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.
He kept his strength, deliberately showing the enemy as weak, and even deliberately let the feint attacker attacker break into the camp wall several times, just waiting for the barbarians to launch a general attack.
Later, the scout reported: there were red clouds in the northwest horizon, and it was suspected that the fire was on fire.
Sekler's mind was as lightning as lightning, and he instantly guessed the rough.
"Jeska!!!"
...
Lieutenant Colonel Jeska sneezes.
Winters, who was riding side by side with the lieutenant colonel, handed over the handkerchief.
Jeska glanced at the lieutenant with a little surprise, took the handkerchief and wiped his nose.
The lieutenant colonel suddenly frowned and asked, "Why does it smell weird?"
"Is that true?" Winters took the handkerchief and suddenly remembered what the handkerchief had done.
He sniffed a few times without changing his face, and said calmly: "I smell a little strange, and the smell of sweat?"
Next to them, the militia were driving to the garrison, and everyone was happy.
Everyone has only three things to think about now: gold, gold, or gold.
The golden man was too heavy and too heavy. Two carriages were nailed to be one and pulled by eight horses before they could move.
The young uncle Giovanni is a gold and silversmith, and Winters knows the general algorithm.
Based on the density of gold, he roughly estimated that the gold man weighed at least two tons.
If it is divided equally on each person's head, it is about four kilograms. Not to mention two gold cups, if the taste is vulgar enough, you can make a golden toilet.
The militia did not have the concept of four kilograms of gold. When they first heard it, everyone reacted mediocrely, and they only felt in their hearts: Well, it seems like a lot of money.
So Winters changed his calculation method - 1123 Ducats.
1123...gold coins?
Someone fainted on the spot.
"What daydream?" the lieutenant colonel sternly scolded everyone: "It's not ours until we move back."
The militia woke up as if they were dreaming, and their eyes were red and they began to load the golden man.
Others saw that the Jin people had only greed, but Lieutenant Colonel Jeska showed fear.
What worried him was not gold, but the owner of the Heavenly Sacrifice King - the Telton tribe.
Since the Heaven-Sacrificing Golden Man appears here, it means that the Terdun tribe has joined the war.
The scale of the war...is gradually losing control.
