The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

() This orderly artillery position is located on the left and right sides of the front of the central phalanx of the coalition army. Seven three-pound Viper cannons, two multi-tube small storm cannons and two six-pound salamander cannons are deployed.The black gun barrel shone with the brilliance of death, echoing the line of solemn guns lined up behind.Once the enemy invades the artillery position, the gunners will retreat to the inside of the phalanx to seek cover, while the two rows of musketeers and crossbowmen in front of the phalanx will wash down the enemy on the artillery position with a dense rain of bullets.The curved cannons were deployed on the small soil slope behind the phalanx, and their curved trajectory would cross the phalanx and attack the chaotic formation.

At a distance of 20 meters behind the artillery position, a spear wall of long spears and war halberds was deployed, forming three to four rows of cold gun forests.They were all heavily armored infantry, with their helmets lowered to their eyes, silently waiting for the battle.The first row of soldiers knelt and inserted the handles of their spears into the soil at an angle of 45 degrees. The second row stretched out the flat end of their spears. The third and fourth rows stretched out their spears obliquely from the shoulders of their comrades in the front row. The sharp and sharp gun blade exudes a breath-taking aura, and the white or red gun tassel dances in the wind.The swordsmen stood on both sides of the phalanx, their shields and swords forming a scale-like wall.

The musketeers stood in front of the spearmen and let their spears pass them.They braced the muskets, lighted the matchlocks, and made a gesture of aiming.The first row was kneeling, and the second row was standing, waiting for the salvo after an order.The crossbowmen set up their shields and drew their crossbows. Many broad-bladed crossbow arrows shone silvery in the sun.The archers were inside the formation, some stood on the carriage, and some raised their bows to the sky, observing the movement of the Chaos army in the distance. They could shoot over the front line of troops, which was relatively safer.

The square formations of each brigade are about 80 to [-] meters apart, forming a triangular layout in the shape of a reverse character.This is the best distance for forming a fork fire attack. Any enemy army that rushes into the space between the two phalanxes will encounter fire from the left and right flanks.On the four corners of the two outer phalanxes, Viper cannons firing two-pound shells were arranged, and the two sides were covered by carriages with guards.Due to the lack of infantry in Kislev's army, their phalanx on the north side is composed of dozens of four-wheeled chariots linked by chains to form a front like a moving city wall, which is quite different from the imperial phalanx. big difference.The musketeers and grenadiers in red stick out their heads from behind the one-and-a-half-inch-thick oak plank, the muzzles of their crescent tomahawks and long-barreled guns gleaming.

The cavalry formations were deployed on the two wings of the infantry, the Wugoers formed a loose circular formation, and the imperial knights and musketeers formed a horizontal formation, with many small triangular flags flying above their heads.After the short fight just now, they have already retreated to the front line, waiting for the next wave of counterattacks.As for the cavalry reserve team, the headquarters and the curved artillery position were deployed on the slope behind the phalanx. The tall Kislev red-bottomed double-bear battle flag and the half-white and half-red imperial court embroidered with a black eagle The military flags were waving side by side in the wind.

"Distance [-], speed [-], Salamander and Viper shoot together!"

With the sharp sound of the orderly's horn and the waving of the military flag, the first wave of artillery fire began.The shells had already been loaded in place, and the gunners turned the handles of the roulettes to align the gun gauges, and then ignited the goose-feather gunpowder quills on the breech gates with the matchlocks coiled around their bodies.The shining red flame danced and disappeared between the bronze cannon breech, and then there was the deafening thunder and flame rising!

A burst of crimson fireballs rushed towards the array of Kulgan cavalry in the distance with a breath of sulfur, tore apart the blood mist between the black shadows like ant colonies and jungles, and threw the heads and stumps into the sky.And the Kulgan army immediately quickened their pace, and the sound of their countless horseshoes trampling the ground shook people's hearts.Smoke clouds of snow and purple fog rose up with the galloping cavalry, almost covering the entire horizon, rushing towards the coalition positions like an unstoppable fury!

The sound of arrows and sentry flags tore people's eardrums, the roar of bronze cannons was like rolling thunder, and white clouds of smoke and brimstone rose up.In just a short moment, the central artillery fired three salvos, each time tearing apart long lines of blood in the gathered Chaos Legion, spreading roars of death and anger.And the Kugan cavalry also charged to a distance of about a hundred meters, and the arrow rain they shot was like splashing hailstones and suppressed dark clouds.The crossbowmen and archers in the phalanx also fought back fiercely. The wide-bladed crossbow arrows tore bloody gaps in the leather armor of the Kulgan cavalry, and the huge impact often threw the enemy off their horses.

"His Royal Highness, the enemy is approaching, it is very dangerous here, you should step back first!"

The young artillery officer Tellius hurriedly approached Catherine standing behind the gun emplacement.There were several arrows stuck in his thick leather armor, the left side of his cheek was scratched, and his body was covered in gunpowder smoke.

"Telius, how can the enemy's bow and arrow hurt me! Just mind your own business!"

The red-haired princess rejected Tellius' proposal without hesitation.Her beautiful eyes shone with excitement, almost in a state of intoxication.Her hair had been loosened, draped obliquely on her shoulders, and her hands were spread out in front of her body to form a two-meter-high shining golden shield. Brilliant magic runes and flowing patterns swirled on the surface of the golden shield.This is her defensive magic circle, and all the arrows approaching this metallic invisible shield are bounced away from a distance, emitting a loud whine of gold and iron.

The Kugan cavalry, in units of centurions, whirled and shot a rain of screaming arrows, rolling towards the formation of the coalition forces like spinning wheels one by one.They have been possessed by the evil fanatic magic, and they are not afraid of the boiling phalanx like a volcanic eruption and the fire rain cast by the cannon. Blood mist, musketeers and gunners kept falling.

Diffuse snow dust and smog covered their figures, the long wind horn flag with skulls held high made a terrible howl in the galloping wind, wave after wave of arrow rain shot out from their compound bows like a rainstorm , making these Kulgans as terrifying as demons rushing out of hell.Some recruits in the coalition army began to have weak legs, dry mouth, and trembling hands, but no one dared to retreat, and no matter how trembling they were, they tried their best to support the spear or musket.Not only because of military law, but also because everyone knows that the result of fleeing is to send the head to Chaos as a sad souvenir.

The musketeers stood among the dense forest of guns, waiting for the order to shoot.Many people had been hit by arrows several times, and their hats were pierced by arrows. Some people were seriously injured and collapsed, and some people had died, and the ground was covered with blood.But they still stood quietly, neatly supporting the muskets in two rows, and the coiled matchlocks were slowly burning on their shoulders.All musketeers are not allowed to fire before entering the best course of action. This is the iron law set by military law and field battles, and no one dares to violate it.

"Aren't the musketeers in our army still shooting? What's wrong?"

Hyde couldn't help but speak, and the young divinely favored man riding a horse standing behind the phalanx could hardly bear it anymore.His war horse also seemed to feel the boredom of his master, and kept pawing the ground and snorting.

"A well-arranged thunderbolt is better than ten scattered thunderbolts. When the thunderbolt wants to show its power, he will show it."

Old Loren calmly waved his finger towards the boiling battlefield ahead, and his voice was immediately answered a hundred times——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————!

This violent salvo came out of nowhere. When the cavalry reached a distance of 50 meters, with the violent waving of the flag of the phalanx and the screaming of the signal guns, countless clouds of smoke erupted from the frontal ranks of the phalanx. With the flames, all the musketeers ignited the medicine pool at the same time.

Thunderous gunshots shook the ground, and the howling lead bullets were like a rainstorm of death. A close-range volley of guns at a distance of three to forty meters was fatal. Piece of Kulgan cavalrymen fell down screaming, being overwhelmed by the smell of sulphur. The thunder-frightened war horses ran around, dragging the dead or wounded bodies of their masters.The twirling wheel queue was torn apart several huge gaps in an instant, and the perfect twirling ended.

But this is not all, but only the beginning, because the artillery positions of the Chinese army made her most violent roar!Two six-barreled storm tube cannons rotated and blasted the flame rain of shotguns into the swarming formation of the chaos army. The Viper Cannon and Lizard Cannon also responded with double the cannonballs almost at the same time. The cavalry group that had rushed to the Juma Log was beaten into bloody pieces, and a triangular centurion flag was thrown into the air, broken fingers, and bloody horseshoes were thrown around.

"Musketeers, return! Swordsmen! Forward!"

With the waving of the military flag and the shouts of the officers, the musketeers quickly turned around and retreated to the back of the spearmen to reload, while the swordsmen and fanatical pilgrims roared out from the two wings of the phalanx , led by two Sigma battle priests, pounced on the chaotic Kulgan light cavalry, cutting down a lot in an instant.Their swords, longaxes, and flails swung like wheels, and the Kulgan cavalry retreated in confusion, disappearing as quickly as they attacked.
