Chapter 707: Broken Car Fort
"Emperor Canute of the Vikings escaped?!"
Drake raised a captain with his right hand, a little furious.
Thick smoke billowed on the sea, and the longship of the Viking pirates was overturned or burned by the Royal Fleet, causing heavy losses. The Viking pirates who had been threatening England were wiped out, and Emperor Canute's ambition to conquer England failed.
However, Captain Drake wanted to capture Canute the Great, but was escaped by Canute and a group of Viking warriors.
The captain mentioned by Drake knew that Drake, who commanded the Royal Fleet, was as vicious as a pirate, and carefully excused himself: "General, the Viking warriors are brave and good at fighting. Their ships are more flexible than our big ships in shallow water, so let them escape."
Only then did Drake let go: "Although the Viking ships are a bit outdated, they are indeed flexible enough in front of our big ships."
"General, we attacked the Viking pirates and won a complete victory. It all depends on your wise command. This kind of credit is enough to be a knight."
The various captains were also careful to flatter Drake.
Drake looked at the sea that was still smoking black smoke. At least tens of thousands of Viking warriors were killed by him in the naval battle, including the elite Umus Chapter Berserkers of the Viking civilization.
...
In the Hunnic Empire, a cavalry battle unfolded. The White Robe Army attacked the 150,000 cavalry commanded by the Polish general with 50,000 cavalry!
Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun aimed directly at the Polish hussars, because they knew that the general who commanded the Polish hussars might be the commander of the 150,000 cavalry.
The Polish hussars raised their lances horizontally, and the flag of the Kingdom of Poland was hung on the lances. When they charged, the wing decorations behind the cavalry rustled, assaulting the white horse justice!
The Hungarian cavalry and Polish horse archers suppressed the white horse righteous from both sides, trying to force the white horse righteous to confront the Polish winged cavalry from the front.
As a light cavalry, Baima Yicong was actually at a disadvantage in close combat with Polish hussars.
But this time, because Tai Shici was left to be in charge of attacking the city, Chu Tian transferred the Huben Army and Xuanjia Army to the White Robe Army to deal with the Polish Winged Cavalry.
The Polish hussars discovered that in the white wave, there was a black cavalry appearing. This black torrent formed a sharp contrast with the white robes.
The White Robe Legion is light cavalry, while the Black Legion often means a torrent of steel composed of heavy cavalry!
Two generals, Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin, went to Eastern Europe, led the Xuanjia Army as the vanguard, and crashed into the Polish hussars!
"die!"
The big ax in Cheng Yaojin's hand fell down, chopping a Polish hussar under his horse!
Relying on the impact force and the defensive power of the protective gear, the Xuanjia Army held a horse lance that was almost the same length as the lance, and charged the spear forest of the Polish hussars!
The sharp horses and lances stabbed at each other, two high-ranking cavalry collided, and hundreds of cavalry were stabbed to death in one encounter!
The number of the Xuanjia Army is small, but the individual combat power is higher than that of the Polish Hussars. Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin are the vanguard of the Xuanjia Army, trying to penetrate the Polish Hussars!
The Xuanjia army is responsible for tearing the gap, behind is the tiger ben army, behind is Chen Qingzhi's white robe army, and on the two wings are the cavalry archers of Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun!
Both sides are flanked by cavalry archers, and the rain of arrows thrown covers the sky and the sun. The white horse righteous, the Hun cavalry, and the Polish cavalry died under the random arrows. With every breath, the cavalry was hit by an arrow and fell from the horse's back!
Xue Rengui shot all the arrows in his quiver in one breath, and twenty-five Hun cavalrymen were killed by the arrows!
The cavalry archers of the Tang Dynasty followed behind Xue Rengui, bent their bows and set their arrows, almost no need to aim, as long as they threw arrows to the opposite side, they would always hit one or two of the densely packed cavalry on the opposite side!
The Polish hussars were very brave in combat. Like the White Horse Yicong, both sides fought to the death and never retreated!
The two cavalry fought on the plain, and the number of cavalry invested exceeded 200,000!
Chu Tian watched this amazing cavalry battle from behind,
The White Robe Legion is dealing with three times their own strength, but it is not a big problem.
When the cavalry of the two sides fought, the Hussite Legion was ready to move, posing a threat to Chutian. Chutian assembled heavy infantry such as Dianwei's Tiger Guards, Joan of Arc's French National Guard, and Mu Guiying's Song Chongbu. Liang Hongyu's Jianyan crossbowmen were in charge of long-range suppression, while Fan Lihua's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table and Western Knights were ready to charge after the infantry broke through, ending the battle in one fell swoop.
The French National Defense Army assembled. The equipment of this group of National Defense Army was also tattered, but the Chutian forces were rich, so even if it was a high-level peasant army, the French National Defense Army's equipment was still better than that of the Hussite Army. This is also the economic advantage of the territory.
There are only a thousand people in the National Defense Army, but their morale is high.
Dian Wei's Tiger Guards had only 500 men.
The main force used to break through Chebao's defense line was Mu Guiying's armored infantry, numbering about 5,000, and they were replaced with armored infantry with amazing defensive capabilities.
The defense of the infantry armor, I dare not say that it can block the armor-piercing ability of the crossbow and fire door gun within a distance of 20 to 30 meters, but it is enough to help infantry and generals advance to the front of the car fort defense line.
The Four Great Scarves were brought by Chu Tian to participate in this battle, to enhance the abilities of all of them, as well as their legions.
Hua Mulan and Xiao Chuo did not participate in the battle, but followed Chu Tian to command.
Hua Mulan can be regarded as an investigative general, and Xiao Chuo is currently the clerk of the legion.
After the decline of the Khitan tribe, even the population of the Southern Xiongnu tribe was insufficient, so Xiao Chuo's loyalty was not low, and she had no better place to go.
"Concentrate all forces, attack a little bit, and tear the car castle apart."
Following Chu Tian's order, five thousand heavy infantrymen holding shields formed an iron wall and advanced towards Chebao.
"The eastern cavalry dismounted and attacked!"
The infantry of the Hussite Legion was very nervous. They found that Chutian not only failed to support the White Robe Legion, but also directly stepped forward to attack, intending to destroy the two legions at the same time.
"These heavy infantry are not dismounted cavalry, but real heavy armored infantry, everyone must be careful!"
Jeska did not think that dismounted cavalry would have a full set of hoplite equipment.
Mu Guiying's infantry and armored heavy infantry, the front row held a large shield, forming a defensive formation, and the infantry behind them held long spears, and most of them were heavy armored infantry equipped with divine arm bows.
This group of heavy armored infantry formed a sharp conical formation, intending to break through the Chebao defense line in one go.
The Jianyan crossbowman shot at Chebao with his divine arm bow behind the heavy steps of the infantry armor!
The crossbow arrows loaded with the God Arm Bow shot out, drawing an arc-shaped trajectory in the air, like dense heavy rain falling, and dozens of Hussite infantry behind the fort were shot because they couldn't dodge in time!
The armored infantry focused on breaking through the fort's defense line, and a tower shield was filled with crossbow arrows from the divine arm bow.
The guard plate of the carriage is also nailed with crossbow arrows.
"Use the rocket!"
Under Liang Hongyu's command, the Jianyan crossbowman who had spent a lot of time preparing rockets was finally ready. This time, rockets all over the sky rose into the sky, formed bolides, and fell down!
The fire arrow has the effect of igniting the wooden carriage. When the fire arrow is nailed to the guard plate of the carriage, black smoke starts to rise, and the fire tends to spread.
However, Husche Castle has prepared a way to deal with the fire attack. There are buckets filled with clean water in the carriage, and the infantry can scoop water to extinguish the flames that have not yet spread.
"The fire attack doesn't seem to be effective, it still depends on the hand-to-hand combat."
Liang Hongyu found that the Huoya team did not achieve the expected results, and knew that the fire attack could not be used to determine the outcome. Jie Shika's car fort tactics took many situations into consideration, trying to build the strongest line of defense in the wild, so he must be prepared for fire attacks.
Bolters take more time to prepare their rockets and fire more slowly than normal crossbows, but Bolters can still do their job, causing confusion among Hussite infantry.
In the infantry phalanx, the bow of the god arm is furious, and thousands of crossbow arrows are thrown, suppressing the defenders. The infantry phalanx is getting closer and closer to the fortress, and the distance has changed from one hundred steps to eighty or seventy steps. , Sixty steps!
An armored infantry fell down with heavy steps, and the heavy armored infantry in the back row immediately made up for it, forming rows of black torrents.
Among the huge number of heavy armored infantry, Mu Guiying's eyes were like torches, patiently waiting for the two infantry to meet.
Finally, the armored infantry collided with Fort Husche, and the crossbow and fire door guns behind the Fort Husche were fired when the heavy infantry entered the range of 20 to 30 meters. The infantry armor in the front row was submerged into the heavy infantry!
A row of heavy infantry fell, and the heavy armored infantry in the rear accelerated their pace, leaped over the corpses of their companions, and fought with the infantry behind the fort holding long spears and long axes!
The Hussite infantry resisted the tower shield, stabbed out their spears, and tried to assassinate the armored infantry heavy infantry, but was blocked by the sturdy infantry armor. Song Zhongbu's spear was also blocked by the position of the tower shield, making it difficult to kill the enemy who was dodging with the tower shield .
The sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering. The two infantry mainly used long-handled weapons and sawed back and forth along the fort. The Hussite infantry was mainly light infantry, but they had the defensive bonus of the fort and the advantage of condescending. Yu Mu Guiying's armored infantry attacked the small city wall.
Mu Guiying rushed to the front on horseback, stabbed out with a long spear, pierced through the tower shield, one of the boards of the tower shield was smashed, and the blade of the gun appeared behind the tower shield, stabbing a Hussite infantry!
The weapons of Chutian's powerful generals are basically forged by the swordsmith Mo Xie, and the quality is at least king level!
Mu Guiying drew out the pear flower gun, mainly attacked the gap between the two military vehicles, and smashed the tower shield!
"Um?"
Mu Guiying frowned slightly. There were flails connected in series between different carriages, and there was a gun formation formed by tense Hussite infantry in front. Her horse could not cross the flails, otherwise it would plunge into the opposite spear formation.
Mu Guiying simply abandoned his horse and fought on foot. The pear flower spear swept across, and even picked up several Hussite infantry!
Behind the densely packed infantry, Dian Wei, the giant humanoid beast, led the Tiger Guards, and Joan of Arc led the French National Guard, and under the cover of heavy infantry, they gradually approached the Fort Che.
"Activate the incentive effect!"
In the Chutian camp, Joan of Arc and Liang Hongyu have the ability to boost morale. Among them, Joan of Arc and the French Guards have the ability to be fanatical. With the blessing of two phases, the infantry of the French Guards enter a state of frenzy and their morale is full!
Joan of Arc was originally the core figure of the French Peasant Army, and the ability and morale bonuses provided to the French Peasant Army are quite terrifying.
In a state of frenzy, the French National Defense Army felt less pain, and under the call of the Holy Banner, they charged towards the Fort Che.
On the other side, Dianwei's Tiger Guards also cooperated with Joan of Arc in attacking Chebao.
The Tiger Guards are not in a state of fanaticism, but the attributes of the Tiger Guards themselves are higher than those of the French National Defense Army, and its core is Dian Wei's force!
According to Chu Tian's order, Dian Wei attacked the tower shield between the carriages.
The Hussite infantry behind the tower shield were holding guns. He found a figure blocking the sunlight. Dian Wei chopped down the tower shield with a big axe!
Splinters of wood flew, and the sturdy tower shield was split by Dian Wei with great force, and the Hussite infantry sat down on the ground in horror!
In order to strengthen the destructive power, this time Dian Wei did not use the skilled weapon such as the short halberd, but equipped with a giant battle axe, which is a skill he learned from the Viking hero Harald.
The violent Dian Wei swung his tomahawk, slashed around, cut off the flail with one axe, and led the Tiger Guards to rush into the interior of the car castle, wreaking havoc!
Chebao stretches for a kilometer, and the place where the Han army concentrates its attack is only a hundred meters away, so as to break the surface!
Dian Wei's Tiger Guards were amazing in infantry combat, and when the Hussite infantry came to attack, they all fell under the heavy halberds of the Tiger Guards!
"Why is Dianwei a bit like Harald..."
Chu Tian, who was watching the battle from the back, found that Dian Wei and Harald had been staying for a long time. The two of them made friends with each other with fists, and now Dian Wei can use Harald's battle axe, which is quite destructive.
Dian Wei's own strength is amazing, and he is equipped with a heavy weapon with huge destructive power, such as a battle axe, so he is invincible in a tough battle.
"Halal, go help Dianwei."
Ekaterina probably noticed that Jeska had laid down two layers of car forts. Even if Dianwei captured the first layer of car forts, there was another layer of car forts behind. Dianwei might be weak, so Harald and Varangji The guards pressed on.
"It seems that he is still a little bit worse."
Harald and Dianwei are both strong men, and they love each other, but they are happy to lead the Varangian guards to support Dianwei.
The Varangian Guard was almost wiped out in the war with the Golden Horde. The current Varangian Guard has been rebuilt, and Harald has experienced the recruits of the Varangian Guard through the battle with Jeska.
Dianwei's Tiger Guards and Mu Guiying's Song Chongbu broke through the first chariot fort. The infantry of the first chariot fort was huddled in the chariot, and the infantry of both sides intertwined.
Suddenly, the Huomen spearmen of the second Chebao began to shoot, and the white smoke filled the air!
The Arquebus is a lower tier than the Arquebus, as the Arquebus is actually an advancement of the Arquebus, but the Arquebus still has amazing armor-piercing abilities!
Dozens of Tiger Guard infantry were killed under the fierce shooting of Huomen spearmen!
Dian Wei held a Hussite infantry in front of him. The Hussite infantry was shot dead by his companion's Hussite gun. Even if it is a fierce general, it is not very comfortable to shoot.
"We can only use the fire door gun to stop their offensive..."
Jie Shika faced the fierce offensive of Dian Wei and other fierce generals, and it was a fact that the first Che Fort fell. If the second Che Fort fell again, the Che Fort's defense line would be broken and it would no longer be able to defend.
A row of tomahawks flew over, killing the Huomen spearmen, and more than a dozen tomahawks were chiseled into the guard plate of the second car fort, sending sawdust flying everywhere!
The Varangian guards arrived, and the Viking berserkers brandished their battle axes, chasing and killing the Hussite infantry.
Harald appeared next to Dian Wei: "Big iron man, let's work together to defeat them!"
"Nordic stupid cows, my Tiger Guards can defeat them!"
Not to be outdone, Dian Wei attacked the second Chebao!
The two powerful generals can even shake the military vehicle itself!
The Varangian guards cut off the iron chain between the carriages, Dian Wei and Harald overturned a carriage, stepped on the fallen carriage, and killed the Huomen spearmen!
