Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

On the artillery position, the commander of a regiment was writing a battle report, and the battle report still wrote that some soldiers were injured, but it was just an ambiguous summary, but it concealed the fact that some soldiers were killed, and only a few soldiers were killed anyway, and they could be made up later.

In fact, the battle is not over, but anyway, the large army has already entered the city, and he must quickly let the signal corps report to the headquarters, so as not to make the headquarters dissatisfied too late.

But he didn't know that when he was writing the battle report in advance, many soldiers were injured or even killed.

After writing the battle report, he handed the battle report to the signal corps, and asked the signal corps to quickly go to the forward command headquarters to report the news, and wait for the rest to be handled by the security team.

At this time, the cannon was already hanging behind the ox cart, because the artillery was slow, so it was necessary to move towards the next city first, and the grenadiers would catch up after clearing the remnants of the city.

The regimental commander mounted his horse, looked at the badly damaged walls of Heinz City, and snorted with some resentment.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the artillerymen around him were in a panic, and he hurriedly turned his head, but before he could see clearly, an arrow hit him.

As he fell from his horse, he could faintly see a large number of cavalry rushing from behind.

As soon as the chief of staff on the side climbed on his horse, he saw the regiment commander fall off the horse, he hurriedly looked at the regiment commander on the ground, only to see an arrow hit the regiment commander, he turned his head with wide eyes, looked at the cavalry attacking behind him, and shouted in shock:

"Enemy attack!"

But as soon as the words fell, another arrow flew, and he was also hit and fell off the horse.

The artillerymen were already panicked, and for a moment they were at a loss for what to do about the sudden enemy attack.

The artillerymen, who reacted, immediately looked for weapons and prepared to resist. The enemy was already less than a hundred meters away, and on horseback, the artillery simply did not have time to aim and reload the shells.

And the artillerymen's muskets were neatly placed in the boxes at this time, and they were not loaded with gunpowder, and they did not have time to reload.

So they could only load their bayonets and be ready for hand-to-hand combat.

Heinz rushed towards the artillery position with eight hundred cavalry, but what he didn't expect was that these artillerymen did not use the unknown magic weapon in their hands to attack him at all, and planned to use the short knife on the magic weapon to prepare for hand-to-hand combat with his cavalry.

He drew his sword and ran towards the artillerymen in leather armor, and with a swing of his sword, one of them fell to the ground.

His cavalry killed all artillery and logistics units in a single charge, while his cavalry suffered few casualties.

He was a little surprised when he saw this, and looked at the artillerymen who had fallen to the ground, and sure enough, as he had expected, they were all mortals!

He got off his horse, picked up a musket, and looked at it, he could not understand how such a thing, like the burning stick in the kitchen, could have exploded and hurt people, and he looked at the black Blond cannons, and it was these iron lumps that had blown his walls out of shape.

After fumbling for a long time, he didn't know

how to use the burning stick in his hand, so he sighed and said: "It's really damned, I should have left a few living mouths to ask how to use

this!" "Your Highness, look, there are still people

at the city gate!" At this time, a cavalryman pointed to the city gate and said, Heinz squinted at the city gate, and then mounted his horse, waved his hand, and led the cavalry towards the city gate.

A few grenadiers at the gate of the city were eating dry food, guarding dozens of Heinz soldiers who had laid down their arms and surrendered.

When the artillery positions were attacked, their eyes widened and they looked at the artillery positions with shocked faces.

When Heinz and his cavalry rushed towards them, they moved in panic.

They ran desperately towards the city, but soon found that it was impossible for them to outrun the cavalry, so they hurried to find nearby houses and hid.

At the same time, there were some grenadiers in the city who were escorting the prisoners, and when they heard the grenadiers rushing into the city shouting that the enemy was attacking, they were all stunned, and when they saw the cavalry rushing outside through the city gate, they immediately panicked.

Heinz quickly rushed into the city with his cavalry, and the grenadiers hiding in the houses were quickly pulled out.

Some of the grenadiers, having opened fire on the incoming cavalry, raised their bayonets and charged at the other cavalry, taking two with one without loss.

But most of them chose to surrender.

One of the grenadiers who surrendered soon told Heinz how to use the musket.

When Heinz loaded his ammunition in the manner of the grenadiers, he fired a shot into the distance.

With a loud bang, he was so frightened that he almost didn't hold the gun in his hand.

Seeing that he was able to use this weapon-like weapon, Heinz couldn't help but get excited.

"Oh my God, it's... This mortal magic .... This... What is this?

" Heinz then pointed to gunpowder and asked the grenadier, to which he replied truthfully:

"This is gunpowder, invented by our Highness."

"How did it come about?"

"I don't know about that.

Heinz believed the grenadiers, and at the same time did not kill them, as promised.

"Your Highness, enemy attack!"

a cavalryman shouted at Heinz, who looked into the city as a large number of grenadiers poured towards the gates.

The movement just now had attracted the attention of the grenadier brigade headquarters that had entered the city, and the two officers looked at the cavalry attacking the city in shock, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Heinz immediately organized the Rangers and prepared to attack the incoming grenadiers.

The grenadier's musket can shoot more than 100 meters, and the Heinz Ranger can only shoot 80 meters away, but after the way the grenadier uses the musket just now, he knows that it takes a long time for the grenadier to reload, and if he launches a charge, this time is completely enough for his ranger to rush into range, and even let the cavalry rush directly to fight with him.

Now he had eight hundred cavalry, as well as six or seven hundred captured soldiers who had just been rescued.

It is ridiculous that the grenadiers used less than fifty men to control these six or seven hundred prisoners.

At a distance of less than two hundred meters, the grenadiers stopped and did not advance, and Heinz immediately ordered the cavalry to attack the grenadiers, and the cavalry, who had already gained momentum, were demoralized and rushed towards the grenadiers.

As soon as your cavalry charges, the enemy's morale will plummet, so you can inflict heavy damage on the enemy by letting a part of the cavalry attract fire and apply pressure on the opposing side, and then let the rangers follow and shoot at the enemy.

However, he miscalculated, and the well-trained grenadiers, under the command of the officer, quickly formed a phalanx and fired non-stop at the incoming cavalry with five firing sections.

Although the grenadiers were terrified in the face of the attacking cavalry, they learned in the course that when facing the enemy's cavalry charge, they could only achieve victory if they were in a position to form a phalanx and shoot at the enemy.

And that's exactly what happened.

And since the cavalry itself was limited and could not be deployed in the streets, it was simply a live target for the grenadiers, even if the accuracy was low, and the uninterrupted salvo in one direction could suppress the onrushing cavalry.

Heinz immediately recognized the seriousness of the problem and immediately ordered the charge to be halted and immediately evacuated out of the city.

He did not expect that the enemy would be able to be fearless in such a situation, and that he would fire a volley in a very organized manner.

His plan was actually very good, but he missed the fact that the grenadiers could still be in danger in the face of a large number of cavalry charges, and they could carry out a salvo counterattack in an organized manner, and he also did not expect this five-stage shot.
