Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

September 3rd was an extremely tragic day for the Bayerdin soldiers recruited by their respective lords.

A few days ago, they were still working diligently in the fields for the livelihood of their families. Then the lord's castle's official came to the village and asked the village chief to gather all the young and strong men in the village.

The official selected the stronger-looking people from the crowd and announced: "The despicable Arda people kidnapped Lord Myron Garnard, the lord of Bayerdin. We must teach them a lesson. From now on, you will fight for the glory of Bayerdin."

The lord's orders must be obeyed, otherwise they may be hanged and their families will be punished as slaves.

The official asked the selected people to take the household items that could be used as "weapons" at home and follow him to the lord's castle, because the weapons inventory in the lord's castle was often not enough for each person.

Sure enough, after arriving at the lord's castle, only more than half of the people received spears, and a few people also received a wooden shield. The rest of the people could only fight for the lord with their own "farm weapons". "Farm weapons" are varied: pitchforks, hoes, sickles and even sticks.

They were divided into several hundred-man teams, and each hundred-man team was led by a knight for training.

In the past few days, they trained how to stand in a team, how to move collectively, and how to camp. Most of the time, they used wooden sticks to fight each other and practiced how to fight the enemy in close combat.

Occasionally, a few enthusiastic knights came to teach fighting skills, but more of them stood aside to watch the fun, because there were many people who accidentally injured the opponent because of excessive force during practice, which then turned into a real fight.

Watching these civilians greet each other with clumsy movements is a good way to pass the time. Every time it can cause a burst of cheerful laughter, and no one will stop it as long as no one is killed.

A few days later, the soldiers who had been hastily trained for a few days were taken to Butuya by the knights. They would take their own supplies and some other weapons here, and then go to the neighboring territory to settle accounts with the Arda people.

When they arrived, they found that the supplies they needed were not yet ready, so they had to stay here for a few days. The barracks in Butuya City could not accommodate so many people, so they were stuffed into some houses to stay overnight.

Some dishonest people caused frequent conflicts between the army and the people. The lord's mansion sent people to chop off several people's heads indiscriminately, which made things a little more stable.

Suddenly, they received an order that the Arda people came to the door themselves and they had to go out of the city immediately to fight them. There was a commotion in Butuya City. It took several hours from noon to gather people and line up under the leadership of the knights.

After leaving the city, under the urging of the knights' whips, the soldiers had just lined up four squares when the Arda people appeared in their sight. Judging from the opponent's posture, there were only half as many people as them, so there should be nothing to worry about.

The small leaders shouted at the top of their lungs to convey the orders of the lords: "Anyone who retreats without receiving orders will be hanged. Killing or capturing an Arda soldier will be rewarded with 100 copper coins and an Arda officer will be rewarded with 1 silver coin."

The strict military rules and generous rewards made the team agitated. Many people began to fight with high morale and talked to each other about how to earn more military merits. Many people closed their eyes and prayed silently to the Lord of Light.

The Arda people stopped not far away, and the lords decided to take the initiative to kill them. Four knights commanded a square formation to move towards the enemy's position.

"Cut off heads to earn military merits!"

During the movement, the big and small leaders in the army shouted to boost morale, and many people also screamed to give themselves courage.

As they were getting closer and closer to the Arda troops, white smoke suddenly rose from the front row of the enemy. With a crackling sound, tragedy struck...

...

"First row, fire!"

After Captain Demps gave the order, the first row of musketeers pulled the trigger, and 40 deadly bullets flew towards the Bayerdin phalanx in the front.

A scream rang out. Although the phalanx of the Bayerdin soldiers was getting more and more chaotic, the people were crowded together. More than three-quarters of the bullets hit the enemy. Dozens of soldiers fell to the ground, some died immediately, and some covered their wounds and kept struggling and shouting.

After the first attack, although there were casualties on their side, most of the Bayerdin soldiers had not reacted yet, and continued to move towards the Arda army with their spears driven by inertia.

The first row of musketeers quickly retreated to reload ammunition, and Demps ordered: "Second row, fire!"

The crackling sound rang out again, and a large number of Bayerdin soldiers fell down again. This time, the people walking in the front reacted. They had not yet come into contact with the enemy, and they had not seen any arrows or crossbows shooting at them, but so many people were killed and injured. It was really weird.

Panic began to spread among the soldiers in the front, and the speed of their feet slowed down unconsciously. Some people opened their eyes wide to see what the Arda people on the opposite side were doing, and some people went to help their companions who were struggling on the ground, tore open their bloodstained clothes, and saw such a big wound.

It didn't matter if the front was slow. The soldiers behind the square who didn't know about it immediately pushed hard after being blocked, urging the cowards in front not to block the way. For a while, curses and screams were intertwined on the battlefield.

The musket company opened fire once again, and another group of people fell down with screams. The Bayerdin soldiers in front finally collapsed. They either turned around and hid behind others, or ran to the sides of the team, anyway, trying not to become the target of the Arda people.

The knight who was commanding the team at the back saw all this. He judged that this was the effect of the strange weapons of the Arda people. Now he knew that those strange-shaped sticks were a kind of long-range weapons.

He grabbed the nearest soldier: "You! Go to the back and inform the adults to send archers over!"

Then he rushed to the front, raised his whip and lashed the panicked soldiers fiercely, and scolded: "Idiots! It's just some weapons similar to crossbows, and you are scared like this!"

He drew out his sword and raised it high, shouting: "The enemy has long-range weapons, and now we must rush to them in one go! Now listen to my orders, the whole army will charge!"

The four "phalanxes" of the Bayerdin people moved towards the Arda army in an oblique trapezoid shape, and the knight's voice was also transmitted to the companions who commanded the subsequent phalanxes. They all gestured to indicate that they would follow the action!

...

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one book, one bar!

Paul was very satisfied with the effect of the first round of shooting. At this distance, the power of the volley gun was still very large.

He instructed the messenger: "Notify the artillery to disperse the two phalanxes behind."

Then he ordered the two battalion commanders: "Let your mortars fire! The spearmen are ready to charge, and the muskets will charge after a round of volleys, and concentrate their forces to annihilate the two enemy groups in the front!"

...

The front Bayerdin phalanx reorganized its formation and began to run forward.

However, at this time, the six mortars in the Arda army also opened fire, accompanied by thunderous roars, hundreds of large and small shotgun shells flew out, forming a huge killing area. The Bayerdin formation was particularly tight, and a large number of people were swept down in almost an instant.

After all, they are flesh and blood. Under the huge casualties, the instinct of biological beings to seek benefits and avoid harm was stimulated. The first phalanx collapsed instantly, and the soldiers ran back without hesitation. The knights guarding the formation were stunned and shocked by the terrible scene that just happened.

The artillery company deployed on the nearby high ground also opened fire. At a distance of just over 100 meters, there was no need for test firing. All the cannons fired at the third phalanx.

The thunderous sound rang out again, indicating the arrival of the god of death again. Eight solid iron bullets opened up several bloody channels in the phalanx.

The knight who commanded this phalanx was hit hard by a cannonball on the waist. Everyone watched in horror as their knight was completely broken into two pieces. The exquisite and thick armor did not work at all.

The cannonballs were still powerful after killing the knights. They rushed into the middle of the soldiers and continued to harvest lives. For a while, blood and flesh splattered and broken limbs flew everywhere.

The third phalanx collapsed!

I am sorry to upload it so late, but the author's writing skills are not good enough. The description of the battle scene is a bit anxious. I feel unsatisfied after repeated revisions. I hope readers will not feel embarrassed when reading it.
