The Sun King's Evidence

Although Ryan had time to talk to Egil, the sound of artillery coming from his military formation never stopped. The four cannons roared, and each exploding shell caused huge casualties to the barbarians.

A large group of knights appeared on the field. The knights all witnessed the tragic situation of Lyonnais, and a kind of anger exploded in the hearts of the knights.

For knights, the most glorious thing is to defend their home and country. Now, the Lyonnais Castle has been captured and large areas of villages have been reduced to ruins. The knights cannot forgive the atrocities of the barbarians. Their sins can only be punished with their blood. to repay.

Egil also discovered the power of artillery. The barbarians could not sit still and wait for death, otherwise one or two hundred barbarian warriors would be lost in one salvo. Egil knew very well how powerful the dwarf artillery was.

Skarins' barbarian army was still slowly gathering at this time. After this surprise attack, the barbarians were not yet ready for war. Many barbarian warriors had just woken up from their sleep. Before they were ready, the barbarians were bombarded by dwarf cannons. , suffered great losses.

The knights were about to move, but Ryan raised his war hammer to signal the knights to be calm.

Although the barbarians are not ready for war, it does not mean that the attack will be effective, because those who did not react are ordinary barbarian warriors and barbarian warriors. Those Chaos Warriors and Chaos God's Chosen Warriors have already gathered around Egil. If they forcefully charge into the phalanx of these heavily armored warriors, they will surely encounter a powerful counterattack from the barbarians.

The good news is that Ryan didn't see the Chaos Hell Cannon. Was it destroyed during the siege?

Since the barbarians were not prepared, the cannons of the knight army would not show mercy to these Chaos believers. The dwarf artillery kept roaring, violently killing the enemies. By the time Aegir finally gathered the barbarian army, they had already lost close to A thousand people.

Egil began to observe the composition of Ryan's army.

Lane's left wing consists of more than 2,000 knights and more than 3,000 knight retinues, without any infantry. Leading the left wing is Hubald, the former Duke of Carcassonne, leading a large group of kingdom knights, knights errant and a small number of expedition knights. , with a cold expression on his face, waiting for Ryan's order.

The right wing consists of a small number of Poseidon Knights, more than 2,000 knights errant, and more than 3,000 knight retinues. There is no infantry. The right wing is led by the deputy commander of the Poseidon Knights, Sir Wolf.

There are only a few hundred knights behind Ryan in the middle army, and the rest are all infantry. The dwarf cannons are located behind the middle army. Those damn dwarves have found their positions and fired continuously. It takes almost five minutes to fire a cannon.

Breton infantry? Egil thought to himself, why are all Ryan's troops infantry? Can these infantrymen stop me?

"Advance the whole army! Go straight to the center!" Egil commanded a large number of heavily armed troops: "Advance!"

"Forward!" The barbarian army has completed its assembly. Forced by artillery suppression, the barbarians must take the initiative to attack!

A large group of heavily armored barbarian troops attacked the center of the knight army. The serf archers began to fire arrows, but the weak arrows could hardly harm any Chaos Warriors and Chaos God's Chosen Warriors. These Chaos believers were all wrapped in heavy armor. , the Bretons' bows and arrows can hurt the barbarian predators, but they are destined to be unable to hurt these black heavily armored warriors.

The Bastogne Longbow Battalion played its role. These longbowmen attacked the barbarian warriors through projectiles and still caused good damage.

"Hold still!" Ryan stood at the front. When the black tide charged towards the knight army under the fire of the dwarves, Ryan signaled everyone to hold still!

The infantry in the first row were almost all knights' retinues and sergeants. Most of them were holding swords and shields. There were also a large number of infantry holding halberds behind them. Ryan himself led more than a hundred knights to stand behind.

"Hmph! He wants us to attack his center directly, and then let the knights on the flanks outflank and annihilate us." Egil immediately saw Ryan's tactical intention.

Ryan's plan was simple. Obviously, he had the advantage of artillery, and the barbarian army's artillery had already been destroyed in the previous siege.

Therefore, Egil and his army must attack Ryan's central army, otherwise they will always become the target of artillery strikes, which is unacceptable to the barbarian army.

After attacking the central army, taking advantage of the large number of barbarian troops accumulating in the middle, once the knights on both wings outflank and charge sideways, the barbarians will obviously be at a disadvantage. Although the Chaos Warriors are good at fighting, no army can face multiple fronts for a long time. Combat.

Egil suddenly realized that he and his barbarian army seemed to be at a disadvantage in the battle situation.

"Kevindev!" Egil suddenly shouted angrily.

"Here!" The Chaos Champion walked up from behind.

"Take your men to contain the army of knights on the left!"

"Yes!" Kevindev led the people away.

"Haldon!"

"exist!"

"Go attack the Bretons' right wing, and be sure to hold back the knights on the right wing!"

"yes!"

The black wave was approaching, and at this moment, a cavalry force suddenly emerged from behind the barbarian army.

This cavalry is all composed of lightly-armed barbarian warriors. They ride Norscan horses, hold javelins in their hands, and carry a bundle of javelins on their backs. They flash out from behind the formation, and then move towards the knights on the left. A dense rain of javelins was thrown out in an instant.

The heavily armored knights were caught off guard. About twenty knights were stabbed on the spot, and a dozen knights fell from their horses on the spot.

Not every knight has the ability to buy and wear plate armor for himself. The vast majority of knights wear chain armor. Armor like chain mail has a good defensive effect in melee combat, but it is completely ineffective against long-range attacks.

This cavalry is called the Norsca Champion Hunters, and there are more than 400 of them. It is the small amount of cavalry that Egil carried during his trip south, and will not be used until the critical moment.

Many knights caught up with them on the spot. They raised their lances and rushed towards the barbarian cavalry, but the barbarian cavalry were extremely fast and they quickly got behind the Brittanian knights.

Chaos Champion Kovindev drew a javelin from his back: "Let go!"

More than four hundred javelins fired in an instant, and more than thirty heavy cavalry fell from their horses. Hubbard was angered by the barbarians' obscene provocation. He raised his broad-bladed sword with both hands: "Knights! Charge!"

The large group of knights on the left wing quickly turned their horses and rushed towards the barbarian cavalry. The barbarian cavalry laughed. Their horses did not wear heavy vests, nor were they wearing heavy armor like the Brittanian knights. Naturally, they were faster. Much faster than the knights, when the knights barely turned around, they were already far away.

Hubbard led the heavy cavalry to attack the group of barbarian cavalry led by Chaos Champion Kovindev, but they could not catch up. After doing this several times, the physical strength of the knights on the left began to decline.

"Hahahaha! Southern bastards! You can only follow us and eat ashes, and you can't even touch our horse's tail!" Many barbarian champion hunters laughed. They turned their horses' heads happily and avoided again. The knight pursued.

The plan was successful. As long as the knights on the left wing were constantly mobilized by them, it would be impossible for the knights to complete the double-team on the barbarian army that was attacking the central army.

Unknowingly, they had reached a gap between the center and the left wing.

"Hmph!" A sneer appeared on Hubald's cold face, and he immediately issued an order: "Knights! Disperse!"

"Yes!" The large group of knights dispersed under the unclear gazes of the barbarian cavalry. Before Kovindev realized what had happened, the serfs on their side received an order from the direction of the Britannian army: " Everyone get down!"

Thousands of serfs suddenly fell to the ground.

Behind the serf infantry is a large group of dwarves, and there are three rows of black gun muzzles. Behind the dwarves are hundreds of serfs, and the dwarf hand crossbows in their hands.

Dwarf Engineer Dugan-Tiehan held a toothpick in his mouth: "Fire!"

"Boom~boom~boom~"

More than two hundred dwarf thundering gunners fired at the same time. A dense barrage rain almost drowned all the barbarian cavalry. Blood, sand, and lead bullets were splashed everywhere. The battlefield was filled with the sound of "Puff~Puff~". More than 400 barbarian cavalry fell on the spot in such a dense barrage. More than 100 barbarians were hit by several bullets and fell dead immediately. In the blink of an eye, more than 50 barbarian warriors died on the spot, and more than 70 barbarians died. When the warrior was injured or fell off his horse, Chaos Champion Kovindev shouted something bad in his heart. He quickly ordered: "Disperse! Disperse quickly!"

late.

The dwarves' volley was not over yet. Next came the performance time of the crossbowmen. They had learned how to quickly aim, shoot, and reload over several months or even longer. They raised their crossbows and aimed at them. The barbarian cavalry pulled the trigger.

The dwarves' hand crossbows were of excellent quality, and the crossbow bolts they fired were short but full of penetrating power. The barbarian cavalry suffered another heavy blow. When more than 500 Norscan champion hunters retreated in embarrassment, less than 300 of them were left. people.

Hubbard now led the knights to charge towards the injured barbarians who fell off their horses. , completely wipe out these barbarian cavalry.

"The southerners actually have such a powerful shooting force. When did the Brittanians actually reach an alliance with the dwarves?" Egil immediately realized that his previous plan had failed, and the remaining light cavalry was no longer enough to contain the left wing. The knight troops must speed up to eliminate the long-range troops located in Lane's center!

At this time, the barbarian army in the middle had approached the Chinese army led by Ryan.

The soldiers of the Chinese army were a little uneasy facing the black torrent rushing towards them, and many serf soldiers could not help but tremble.

However, they had already received orders, and they knew how to deal with these powerful enemies. The vast majority of serfs had already received orders from Lane. When the barbarian army quickly approached, the serfs who appeared in front of the barbarians quickly followed Lane's orders. Ordered an orderly withdrawal into the military formation.

Now, the Chaos warriors who rushed into the central army found themselves facing some elite soldiers holding halberds or swords and shields. To the surprise of the barbarians, they stood very neatly. The people in the first row stretched their right feet forward, Holding halberds in their hands, the remaining sergeants raised their shields to meet the violent impact of the Chaos Warriors.

At the same time, the crossbowmen hidden behind gave the charging barbarian warriors a good greeting. The dense crossbow arrows knocked down the first row of barbarian warriors and chaos warriors. More importantly, the same thing hidden behind the array The big killer finally came into its own.

That's the organ cannon.

The artillery in the four barrels has been filled with lead shot shells blessed by the prophet of the lake god and even the fairy in the lake!

"Boom!" At close range, the cannonball fired at the charging barbarian army. The flames in the barrel spurted out and spit out large pellets.

Hundreds or more of the barbarian warriors were beaten to pieces, but the barbarians also did not retreat. The barbarian troops who were not killed on the spot rushed into the Breton army and began a fierce hand-to-hand battle. .

"Flaming Skull!" Veronica took action. The Gloria Witch was brilliant all over, and a giant flaming skull swept through the dense formation of the barbarian army, causing them huge damage.

Egil suddenly discovered that the army of knights led by Ryan was not as reckless as the army of the Principality of Lyonnais and bet everything on the group charge of knights. On the contrary, the army led by Ryan started fighting. They came in good order, their queues were very tight, and their battles were very methodical.

The Chinese army was engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle. The Halberd Corps and sergeants that Ryan had just trained were trying their best to resist the frontal attack of the barbarian army, barely supporting them. The knights led by Sir Howl on the right wing were fighting with the knights led by Halldorn. The barbarian champion warriors are fighting in a melee with a large group of barbarian marauders. The situation currently seems to be indecisive.

This is a new breed of Brittania! The chosen champion of Khorne was keenly aware that the battlefield was moving in an unfavorable direction, because the barbarian cavalry used to contain the left wing of the knight army suffered heavy casualties. These barbarian cavalry could rely on their flexible speed to avoid arrows or crossbows. The arrows were fired, but they could not dodge the lead pellets of the dwarf musketeers. At least twenty or thirty barbarian cavalry fell in each round of volley. Within a few minutes, only the five hundred barbarian cavalry that Egil brought from Skarins were left. With less than a hundred riders, their number is still decreasing rapidly. The despicable dwarves sometimes do not target the riders at all, but directly attack the horses!

Chaos Champion Kovindev has given up on continuing to harass the left wing, and instead comes to the center alone to command the barbarian army, preparing to meet the group charge of the large group of knights on the left wing.

"The opponent's artillery and those dwarf musketeers must be defeated immediately! Otherwise we will be in danger of failure!" Egil knew that he had to take action. He called on his own bodyguards. Three hundred Chaos God's Chosen Warriors led the barbarians. The remaining five thousand barbarian warriors are ready to enter the battlefield.

At the same time, Armand, the Holy Grail Knight who was standing behind the central army and watching the battlefield situation, said to Ryan: "My Earl, Egil is ready to lead his own guards to join the battlefield."

Ryan nodded. He turned his head and set his eyes on the sorceress standing next to him: "Teresa, please."

The sorceress was dressed in black leather clothes. She had been preparing a powerful spell from the beginning of the war until now. Seeing Ryan speaking, Theresa raised her purple staff high.

"Eight-ring magic, ice dragon breath!"

A giant ice dragon more than twenty meters long appeared in the sky. It roared angrily and opened its mouth towards the barbarians who were fighting fiercely on the battlefield. The magical energy of the ice system flowed from the mouth of the ice dragon like a flood. Spit out.

All the barbarians spit out by the frost dragon's breath were turned into pieces. Although the barbarians who grew up in the northern wasteland were very able to endure the cold, they were ultimately unable to face this powerful magical energy.

What made Egil feel very bad was that the battlefield was divided. The frost dragon breath breathed out by the ice dragon split the barbarian army in half in the middle, and built an ice wall several meters high. The barbarian army was cut off in the middle. , the offensive was greatly reduced, and they were locked in the ice wall. The barbarians heading towards Ryan's army were beaten back steadily, but the barbarians behind them could not keep up.

At this moment, Chaos Champion Kovindev, who was commanding the army, was hit in the head by a stray bullet. This stray bullet was so powerful that half of his head was blown off and he fell off his horse and died on the spot.

His death triggered further chaos in the barbarian vanguard army. There was no longer a unified commander and they could only fight independently.

The dwarf engineer Dugan Tiehan put down the long-barreled sniper rifle that was still smoking in his hand. He proudly said to the Kingdom Knight Hex and Ryan's fiancée Sulia standing beside him: "I said Are you right? In a duel, the brave dwarf will definitely win!"

The projectiles used for sniping were explosive lead pellets produced in the wizard tower of Veronica's Dawn. They were infused with a large amount of fire magic energy. In a hurry, Dugan only got three rounds, so he had to use them sparingly. The dwarf engineer said about his results. Satisfied, and eager to let the human knight know.

Hux could only answer him by rolling his eyes. The noble knight of the kingdom thought that the dwarf's duel and the knight's duel might have different meanings. Upon seeing this, the heroic female knight Sulia took the initiative to praise: "Mr. Dugan, you His marksmanship is really amazing."

Hearing Mrs. Sulia say this, Dugan's chin and beard almost reached the sky: "The dwarves are always the best."

The barbarians on the other side were still beating the ice wall hard with their weapons.

"This thin ice wall!" Egil was the first to charge forward. His hell battle ax directly made a huge hole in the ice wall. The magic ice wall created by Teresa could not withstand Egil's fierce attack, but The ice wall was at least three or four meters thick. The Chosen Champion of Khorne immediately shouted at Chakoy, the only remaining Chaos Wizard in his tribe and his adopted son, "Destroy this ice wall immediately!"

"Yes!" Chakoy had just begun to feel the wind of chaos and prepare spells, but an extremely dangerous signal came in his mind, and he subconsciously avoided it.

A white beam of light hit the spot where Chakoi was standing.

A beautiful witch wearing a fiery red leather coat appeared in the distance protected by many knights and sergeants.

"Your opponent is me, the Chaos Wizard!"
