Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 433: Battle of Akas (4)

On the Akas Heights, the two armies are still fighting.

With advanced firearms, the third brigade of the Kingdom’s Second Army shot and killed a large number of enemy soldiers during the coalition charge, but after the melee infantry in armor broke into the trench defense line, they had to retreat, although A musket equipped with a bayonet bayonet can be transformed into a spear, but it is still difficult to harm soldiers with armor protection, while the swords that the opponent wields can easily cut their uniforms-therefore, they can only take the initiative to retreat. In order to avoid excessive casualties.

"Shoot! Cover allies!"

"Fire!"

Bang bang bang ——

After a series of bean-like gunshots, allied soldiers attempting to pursue the retreating Winster army were shot and fell to the ground. The people behind quickly stopped at first sight and watched each other not daring to act. Seeing this, they were The soldiers heavily protected the general Oponia who was inside with a gloomy face, pointed their swords at the line infantry who was still shooting, and shouted: "Archers and javelins shoot and suppress the enemy!"

"shooting!"

"Throw a javelin!"

One after another shouts rang out in the coalition army. Then, the light infantry equipped with bows and arrows fired at the line infantry positions under the beating of the officers, and the infantry who carried a bundle of javelins were even more awkward. He rushed to the second line of defense, thinking that this would reduce the chance of being shot. After they entered the range, they threw their javelin at the opponent.

As the firing range was shortened, the retreating line infantry did not have sufficient protection capabilities. The dense clusters of arrows and javelins that rose from the coalition forces hit the target from behind, making the soldiers miserable and could only speed up. Speed ​​jumped into the second trench, and after a short rest, he got up and shot at the enemy.

"Load ammunition! Free to shoot!"

Feeling the cold wind and whistling brought by the arrow clusters passing by, a company commander who evacuated behind shouted loudly. Before the surrounding soldiers responded, an arrow was inserted directly into the Gao Tongjun above his head. The cap, only a few centimeters away from his scalp, was shocked that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

Bang bang bang ——

In the continuous gunshots, a soldier just finished loading, and then got up and prepared to shoot at the opposite side. Before he could take aim, a javelin fell from the sky, inserted accurately through his slightly opened mouth, and then brought it back. With a powerful force coming out of the back of his head, before the hapless soldier had time to let out a scream, the whole person was nailed to the soil behind him by the inertia of the javelin.

This scene was caught in the eyes of the officer who was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. He couldn't help swallowing the saliva secreted by tension, and then checked the flintlock pistol in his hand. After confirming that the filling was completed, he ventured to stand behind the bunker. When he got up, the pistol was pointed at a light infantry who was accumulating energy and preparing to throw. The next second, the gunshot sounded, and the light infantry had a blood hole the size of a bean on his body, and he fell to the ground. Without extra energy to check the results of the battle, the officer retreated to the back of the bunker. Just a few seconds after he retracted, another round of arrows struck him, and directly shot and killed the few soldiers who could not dodge by his side.

"Where's the grenadier? Where is the grenadier?" He touched the two-hole high-tube military cap and shouted at the people around him. In each brigade, there is a grenadier company composed of the most elite and outstanding soldiers in the entire brigade. In addition to being equipped with standard muskets, they are also equipped with three to four grenades (compared to the earth grenades a few years ago, The current grenade has improved stability and greater power. Generally speaking, if you want to counterattack, the grenadier will rush to the forefront.

"The enemy has been suppressed, soldiers, rush forward!"

At this moment, the enemy’s battle cry spread from the front to the trenches and into the ears of every soldier, causing their hearts to raise their throats. The enemy’s archers and javelins threatened them all the time, making them unable to After retreating to the next line of defense (if they were forced to retreat, I am afraid they would suffer a fatal blow during the retreat), the soldiers checked the fire door of the musket in their hands, and only half of their heads looked at the situation outside, waiting to initiate a counterattack.

However, at this moment, a beeping piercing whistle suddenly sounded behind them, and the soldiers looked back in a reflexive manner. They couldn't be more familiar with this sound. It was clearly a prelude to the attack of the grenadier. !

Sure enough, under the gaze of the soldiers, the six grenadier companies of one regiment were advancing neatly under the whistle of the leading officer. The average height of each company was higher than that of the attacking coalition, and Everyone is strong and physically strong and looks spectacular from a distance. The grenadiers suddenly plunged into the battlefield to stop the coalition forces preparing to charge, and watched them vigilantly. The archers in the coalition forces also changed their targets in time and shot deadly arrows at the grenadiers. Although the grenadiers belong to the elite of each brigade, they are still the same as ordinary soldiers under the threat of arrows. Under the threat of arrows, they almost fall down with arrows every step of the way, but the soldiers They all moved forward blankly, not caring about the arrow that grazed their bodies.

"Grenade ready!"

The leading officer spit out the metal whistle that had been dangling to his mouth and shouted loudly. As his voice just fell, every soldier in each company took out a fist-sized metal iron ball from the canvas bag around his waist. Then I ignited the fuse on the grenade with the portable fire folder~lightnovelpub.net~ After the fuse was ignited, it started to burn with a sizzle, and black smoke rose.

"Throw!"

"call!"

The soldiers roared in unison, and the grenade in their hands was thrown out. The circular early grenade flew in mid-air, tracing a beautiful arc, and then smashed into the coalition crowd like hail. The weight of this early grenade was very considerable, and the screams of the coalition soldiers when they fell from a high altitude were screamed again and again. Some unlucky bugs were even beaten to blood and fainted on the spot. Just when these soldiers guessed what the purpose of the metal ball was, the fuse of the grenade burned out, the gunpowder inside was ignited, and only a series of deafening explosions were heard, and the crowd burst into dazzling sparks!

Boom boom boom -

The deadly shrapnel brought by the explosion fire raged in the crowd, taking the lives of one soldier after another like cutting grass. The coalition soldiers squeezed in a group allowed the power of the grenade to be perfectly displayed. After a series of explosions, they were standing there. The coalition soldiers fell down a large area, and the remaining people were shocked by the sudden explosion. One Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to the sky. And taking advantage of this moment, the grenadiers took out the muskets behind their backs, stood in front of them, and took the initiative to charge amidst the stern whistle blown by the officers!
