Chapter 351 Marseille
Queen Margaret still failed to wear Huang Xi's painstaking preparations, and in the end, Chen Jiujing was the only one who wore the earplugs.
When Margaret was about to put on his earplugs, a maid came to her through the city wall and told her that Navarra Henry was on the left bank of Bordeaux and was being carried over.
This prevented her from watching the battle.
However, when she left the city tower, she was hit by the large caliber guns that were brought to the city, but she almost scared her to pee her pants. Not to mention her, Henry was awakened again in the wooden raft car at the gate of the left bank. Then she knew why she was awakened and fainted from the incident.
But the battle continued, with Marshal Biron's opposite idea.
Before the battle began, the Ming army left him enough time to give advice and deal with the war.
Billon did this. During the long confrontation, there were many nobles outside Bordeaux who originally lived in castles and monasteries. The monks avoided the army and turned north to the royal army. Of course, there were people who were hostile and fearful to the Ming army, but they were far less meaningful than the former.
Among the nobles and monks, Billon tried his best to collect the battle process of the Ming army looting the outskirts of Bordeaux half a year ago. He collected some information such as "they like garlic", "they like gold, silver, horses and beautiful girls", "the artillery is very powerful", or "the soldiers don't smell bad if they don't take a bath for several days, and General Chen Jiujing is very handsome".
Especially the last news was from a young male knight with a beautiful face and a blond hair shawl on his shoulders. After hearing this, Billon had no choice but to spread his hands on his hands, intending to send him to the Louvre.
A young man with alternative preferences, good-looking and useless face like this, became a knight in a remote countryside, and King Henry III raised a lot in the Louvre in Paris.
Of course, the nobles and monks were indispensable to attack each other. The monks said that the nobles in Bordeaux reached an agreement with the Ming army and handed over all the weapons, armor and war horses without fighting the garrison. The nobles said that the monks used all the money to purchase weapons and pay military salaries to repair the burned monastery and find prostitutes.
Billon was also helpless: I cannot hang the nobles who reached the agreement, I cannot demolish the monastery repaired by the priest, and I cannot let prostitutes lay off. What's the use of telling me about these? I am just a soldier to fight.
But the Ming army's artillery was very powerful, Marshal Billon remembered it.
In Billon's cognition, artillery has an iron rule: the more powerful the artillery, the slower the loading.
There is no problem at all. The bigger the artillery, the bigger the shells, the more gunpowder, the greater the power. There are more things and heavy, the loading will naturally be slower.
The six rounds of Fran's cannon reloading process in front of the formation also confirmed Billon's conjecture. The Ming army did not use any decent artillery to engage in artillery battles. It must be that they did not want to expose the artillery for too long, or they wanted to fire the artillery when the battle was at its most intense.
The artillery loading takes a long time, but the turning point that tear the front and attacks the city and changes the outcome of the battle often occurs in a very short time.
Then, there are not many choices left for Billon. His troops will definitely be beaten by these artillery. Since they will definitely be beaten by them, let the most useless troops be beaten by his left-wing recruits.
The entire battle was almost according to his ideas. Although he did not expect the tiger squat cannon in front of the Han defense line, he also overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Han soldiers. The central army and the right wing were in stalemate, yes.
The largest troops of the two legions are on the left wing, and of course the new recruits cannot defeat the enemy, so they are defeated; the second phalanx with veterans can retreat and maintain the front line by themselves; the elite cavalry tear opens the gap, but the target is too small, and the enemy will not launch artillery attacks; then the two phalanxes will fight back, break through the defense line, and be bombarded by the enemy; the enemy artillery that has lost its deterrence is loading, and the other cavalry cannon attack the central army or the right wing at will under the cover of artillery volleys, and can seize the front line. Mobile terminal::
Retreat is the most test of the army's ability. As long as the enemy's retreat is not good, it can disperse its own troops. He can take down the defense line one after another and start siege. When the siege cannon is placed under the city, the city will be broken.
After the city was broken, the people and nobles in the city met with each other and the enemy could only leave in a hurry by boat, and Bordeaux was successfully recovered.
Almost perfect!
But what happened to the murderous knights in the south?
Why did there be knights coming from the south? That was Ajang's way. The three thousand royal army did not block Narva? Not so, wasn't Narva just a group of farmers holding manure forks?
How could there be such an elite knight? And so many.
Marshal Billon was very confused. In the confusion, the Ming army really fired artillery, not from the position, but from the head of Bordeaux.
At a very long distance, dozens of shells were shot into the air, and the shells passing through half of the battlefield were scattered. No one knew who the shells were trying to hit, but they were very dense, not dense shells, but more than twenty French infantry companies were very dense.
To be honest, the power of shells is extremely small when they hit like this. They draw an arc in the air and cannot bounce it up when they land. They can directly build it into the ground. One shell can kill two or three people, and they cannot achieve the same result as shooting a shell at a distance of hundreds of meters.
But it was scary.
These shells hit the distance from a distance of "will only take off your pants in that direction when you see them, and let them hit you," and then beat the person next to you to death. What do you think?
Can't run away!
The infantry were shocked. Before they could panic, the knights who came from the south had already rushed into the dispersed phalanx. The infantry could not form a formation to fight against the cavalry, so they were fighting in an unequal way. The helpless infantry could only pray that their heroic knights would come back soon to destroy these enemies.
Their knights did come back and were driven back from the trench.
Some tall black men wearing red blankets and armor, holding iron shields and spears followed closely from the trenches. They did not form large formations and small formations. Three or five people faced a knight in a group, some luring them. Some people threw spears and blocked them head-on, and some people hit the shields behind them. When they seized the opportunity, a flying spear suddenly went out and stabbed them accurately in the gap in the plate armor, and a knight disappeared.
The speed of their killing of the knights is much faster than letting the five knights fight alone against the five knights.
Marshal Billon got his wish. From the beginning to the end, everything was as he thought, and even the defeat began on the left wing as he expected.
However, the defeat came from his army.
Chen Jiujing on the city wall breathed a long breath. The battlefield presented in his eyes was the African army of Yang Ce's army, with the help of the Cavalry of the Kangguru tribe tore open the enemy's flanks, and used Franc aircraft, tiger squat cannons and Spanish muskets to smash the stalemate line in one fell swoop.
