Chapter 531, The Battle of Richard's Plain

After several days of waiting, Imperial reinforcements arrived.

The mercenary regiment of the Pyrotechnic Academy carried more than 20 heavy cannons made by the Empire, four Hellstorm rocket launchers, and one Hellstorm rapid-fire gun.

Three musketeer battalions, three infantry battalions and a team of dwarf butchers formed the main force of the Pyrotechnic Academy mercenary group, in addition to a team of pistol cavalry and a small number of imperial knights.

The commander of this army is the Imperial General Dietrich, a veteran in his fifties who served in Nur. Since Emmanuel returned to Nur, Dietrich swore an oath Manolly and her son Frederick pledged their allegiance.

The lieutenant is Boris von Zhukov, who graduated from the Nuer Gunnery Academy. He is a man in his thirties. Different from the Bretons who like to grow long hair, this middle-aged man only keeps a simple floor inch, and his chin is raised high to reveal a short section Goatee, with a rather haughty attitude.

And these soldiers from Nuer are extremely well-equipped. Even the poorly equipped spearmen have a complete set of exquisite standard equipment. The excellent long sword, the whole army is all black and black armor.

In order to hire this imperial army, the Bretanians paid a lot of money. In addition to a lot of gold coins, the Bretanians also placed a lot of orders from the Nuer military factory. It is said that this is the new Nuer army. The idea of ​​the Duchess, Emmanuel believes that large production orders are more effective than pure gold and silver. It not only brings profits, but also allows military factories to produce at full capacity and solve a series of social problems.

The arrogant attitude of the imperial reinforcements aroused great dissatisfaction among the Bretanians, and the knights responded with indignation. However, in the eyes of the imperial people, apart from the knights, the Bretanians actually dragged a group of It's also funny enough that the scantily clad hillbilly and the mud leg fight together.

However, Lawn, Hagen, Karard and others who had conducted the Holy Grail Expedition expressed their understanding of this situation.

This starts with the history of Nuer.

The city of Noor was home to the Imperial Artillery School, and most of the Empire's cannons, mortars and muskets were manufactured here. Nur is also the location of many ancient famous schools of the empire. It is the academic center and industrial center of the empire, and it is also an important town in the south.

In terms of technological and academic level alone, even Braunschweig, the capital of the empire, cannot compare with Nuer, and Nuer is also the hometown of the savior Ludwig. The greatest emperor of the empire is honored. Nur is also a transportation hub and a major trading center. The dwarves' fortress in the mountains continuously transports various goods and goods, and rich people from the southern countries and even Tyrells flock here to buy and sell.

Therefore, Nuer is rich, and the people here are also very civilized. Nuer's army has long been professionalized and often works as mercenaries for other empire provinces. The per capita education and literacy of the entire Nuer citizen class ranks first Crown of the Empire.

"Brunswick is our capital, Nuer is the center of the empire, White Wolf City... well, it is a great city, other places? It's all the countryside."

——Wagner, a Rick guard who did not want to be named in Nur and a master engineer, said after drinking

To put it simply, the two cities of Brunswick and Nuer are at the top of the contempt chain of the people of the empire, and because of this, Emperor Karl Franz will not tolerate people he does not trust controlling Nuer. It is the emperor's wish for Emmanuel, who has a good relationship with himself and his family, to return to Nur, and Karl Franz needs to control Nur.

But because of this, the professional ethics of this mercenary group is also very good. The imperial general Dietrich looked around the Britannia barracks with disdainful eyes, and finally said: "Lawen Leo Cornwall Your Excellency?"

"Hello, our brothers in the empire, fellow human beings across the mountain." Lawn led the crowd out to greet him, and he shook hands with Dietrich and Boris von Zhukov: "You are very welcome!"

"We have come with the friendship of the beloved Emmanuel, the Duchess of Nuer." Imperial General Dietrich said to Lawn and the others: "We sold our swords and guns to you Cannon, you just need to tell us how to deal with our enemies."

"very good!"

The time was approaching March, and the weather in Musillon was still very cold. Everyone entered the big tent and sat down. Lawn first exchanged greetings, and he said with a smile: "I heard that Her Majesty the Duchess Emmanuel has gone through a lot of hardships. Wanku has finally returned to Nur, this is really the luck of the empire, the luck of mankind!"

"Well, that's right." Imperial General Dietrich sighed, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "If it wasn't for your god-chosen champion, Ryan Malcador, who actually made our respected His Majesty the Countess pregnant, we would be happier."

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became strange. Emmanuel, who held the Duchess of Nur, the Elector of Brescia, and the Duchess of Wessonland at the same time, was pregnant by the fairy champion of the lake, Ryan Macado It's not a secret.

The nobles of Nur complained a lot about this in private. The proud and wealthy imperial nobles didn't think this child was lowly. After all, Ryan's great deeds and lofty prestige were there, and what they complained was that Ryan didn't marry Ayman. Nolly as a wife, the child is an illegitimate child! Although Emperor Karl announced that the child was Emmanuel's first-line heir, it was still a little unpleasant to say it. At least the nobles of Nur often suggested in the parliament that Emmanuel should find a new husband or Ask Ryan to give up his marriage with Suria and marry Emmanuel instead.

Emmanuel completely ignored these proposals. The duchess's way of governing was to never leave her elector's palace, but she showed excellent internal affairs ability, consolidating her authority while attacking her political opponents.

Her actions of protecting the interests of civilians, combating noble forces, increasing jobs, and curbing chaos and corruption earned her a good reputation in Nur, and the bourgeoisie gave her a new title, "Lovely Loved Countess".

Callard couldn't help but laugh a little after hearing this. He and Ryan have a good relationship, so it doesn't hurt to smile.

Lawn's face was subtle. The regent of the kingdom knew that the relationship between himself and Ryan was actually very wonderful. They were both friends, rivals, colleagues, and contenders for the throne. They both had the same reform demands and represented different positions.

Thinking of this, Lawn didn't pick up the topic again, and after a few more pleasantries, everyone began to get down to business.

"There is good news!" Lawn was a little excited when he talked about this incident. He introduced the situation of the battle: "According to the intelligence of the scouts, the undead army that came to support Richard's Castle is a remnant army, this undead army The army is clearly outnumbered and short of cavalry."

"This shows! The main force of the undead must have been dragged down. It is very likely that the undead are still besieging the Spire Palace! Hearing that Richard's Castle was besieged by us, we sent some troops back to help." Lawn said immediately He came up with his own plan: "We give priority to eliminating the reinforcements! When we besiege Castle Richard, the undead will definitely be forced to seek a field battle with us outside the city!"

"Then we will satisfy them! Wait until the undead reinforcements arrive! We will line up outside the city and fight the undead!" Lawn announced his plan.

"A decisive battle with the undead? But we are dragging an army of more than 17,000 refugees!" Karard raised his own doubts: "These refugees don't even talk about fighting. They will immediately collapse when they see the undead, which will lead to the collapse of the entire front." Rout!"

"I know." Lawn nodded calmly.

"You know you plan to fight the undead?" Karard asked.

"That's right, the undead are our disadvantage. In the battle against the undead, as long as these refugees collapse, they will easily cause a series of reactions from the army and lead to the collapse." Lawn put his finger on the map: "However, Under the right conditions, a disadvantage can also be turned into an advantage!"

"In this battle, our disadvantage is undoubtedly revealed, but our advantage is that we have a large number of knights. How to reverse our advantage and turn to victory, we need a plan." Lawn seems to have a plan in mind: "Everyone, please Listen to me, sometimes refugees will not only not be our burden, but will be the key to winning this war..."

………I am the dividing line that determines the outcome………

Two days later, Matthew Budd led the undead army to Richard Castle. Just outside the castle on a small plain, the two armies began to confront each other.

Musilon's poisonous snake and his subordinate Mad Duke Meroving, the vampire lord Belitus, Hal Harris and others got together to discuss how to fight the war.

"The only thing we need to pay attention to is the more than 3,000 cavalry under Lawn Leo Cornwall." Matthew Bud's face was very calm: "There are also 5,000 reinforcements from the empire. Why did the Litanians bring nearly 20,000 refugees into battle?"

"It is said that the situation in Lyonnaise is very bad. It is a helpless move for Lawn to bring 20,000 refugees into battle." Belites replied loudly: "And he actually placed all 20,000 refugees at the front of the battle line It’s unbelievable, doesn’t he know that once these serfs collapse, they can easily lead to the collapse of the entire front?”

"The tactics of the knights are all like this. First let the serfs go up to carry them, and then choose the opportunity to charge. It has not changed for thousands of years, so it is not surprising." Meroving said with a sneer: "What we have to do is to defeat these more than 10,000 soldiers first. Serfs, and then put the imperial army in danger, so that Lawn and his chivalrous brothers had to support the imperial army, and after losing the opportunity to charge, he had to retreat!"

"Very good! Let's do it like this!" Matthew Bud nodded and adopted Merovingian's tactics.

The battle started. At this time, Matthew Bard's tactic was to attack the Britannian army formation head-on with three bloodthirsty bat wolves and a large number of bloodthirsty sky ghosts, tomb ghosts and tomb ghouls. These behemoths released their anger and roar. When they approached, because Lawn placed more than 17,000 refugees at the front, these refugees lost their minds immediately when they saw the terrifying undead behemoths. Losing their will to fight, their formation was shaken for a while.

However, beyond Matthew Bud's expectations, these refugees did not collapse quickly. On the contrary, someone among the refugees immediately gave orders loudly, and the large group of refugees quickly separated to the two sides in an orderly manner led by a small number of ranger knights and sergeants. Although the scene was quite chaotic, the refugees retreated to the two corners in an orderly manner: "What?! How is that possible!"

Lawn, who was standing in the middle army of Brittania, showed a smile.

This was the result of several days of training he had spent with the knights, teaching the refugees how to evacuate.

After the refugees retreated in an orderly manner, the undead monsters attracted by these delicious fresh meat immediately lost control. They screamed and roared towards the refugee groups on both sides. When buying fresh meat, these undead monsters completely forgot Matthew Bard's order to go straight to the Britannian army. Lost basic order.

At this time, waiting for these undead monsters was the elite mercenary group from Nur, and the undead monsters had already entered their range.

"Fire!!!" Boris von Zhukov, the lieutenant of the mercenary regiment, ordered loudly. Three musket battalions, more than 20 cannons and Hellstorm bazookas fired together. The incoming artillery fire drowned all the undead monsters in the blink of an eye!

The pyrotechnic academy mercenary group from Nur has already calculated the best range under the measurement of engineers, and the artillery they manipulated is as precise as having eyes to kill giant undead beasts, bloodthirsty bat wolves and tomb ghosts. They fell one by one, and the bloodthirsty ghosts didn't dare to approach the ground at all amidst the dense barrage.

The undead monsters were soon approaching the brink of defeat, so Matthew Bard had to immediately order the Zombie Army, Skeleton Warrior Army, and Desert Grave Guard Army to keep up.

"Start the hell blast rapid-fire gun!" Seeing the large group of undead infantry gradually approaching, the imperial general Dietrich immediately gave an order.

"Start the hell blast rapid-fire gun!!!" Nur's elite immediately launched a powerful war machine from their positions. There were at least a dozen or more small cannonballs in the inside, and now they are all pouring out.

The nine barrels of the Hellstorm rapid-fire gun are divided into three groups and are controlled by the central turning crank to shoot in turn. The unlucky target it aims at will be shot in an uninterrupted terror and engulfed by a hail of lead bullets.

In an instant, the entire undead striker was flying with flesh and blood, and hundreds of undead were instantly smashed into a sieve under a wave of attacks.

The advancement of the undead army was blocked by the powerful force of Nur's war machine, but they still approached the coalition army formation one after another. Following the orders of Lawn and Dietrich, the serf infantry regiment of Brittany And the Empire's Halberd Legion joined the war.

At this time, there was no longer any strategy, and the entire battlefield turned into a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood. The imperial army, Bretanian sergeants, and serf infantry regiments stood side by side to resist the attack of the undead army.

The war lasted from morning to afternoon, and the coalition forces gradually became exhausted. The imperial halberd soldiers and the Bretanian serf infantry gradually retreated under the attack of the tide of undead.

However, Matthew Bard, who was commanding the undead army to continue to attack, felt something was wrong subconsciously. He immediately ordered the entire army to retreat, and the undead army withdrew from the battlefield in an orderly manner under Matthew Bard's order.

When Lawn led the knights to defeat the Black Knight Legion on the flanks and wanted to outflank the back of the undead, what awaited him were soldiers cheering for victory on the plain near Richard Castle. The undead army had already withdrawn from the cloth. The encirclement of the Litanians.

"This battle! We won!" Although it was a pity that they could not completely encircle and defeat Mousilon's undead army, the knights from the north were still proud of this victory.

Cheers continued on the plain, singing the victory of Lawn.

This is the perfect embodiment of his outstanding military talents and excellent command ability by the Regent of the Kingdom, Ron Leo Cornwall.

With this victory, Lawn proved that he is fully qualified to compete for the knight's throne with Ryan Malcador, the God-chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake.

Ten kilometers away, Matthew Bud, who was slowly retreating, also showed a smile.

"Let's give you a small victory first, Lawn."

"But it's not over yet, I know how to beat you."

Mu Xilong's poisonous snake took out a letter, which was stamped with the seal of Theodoric, Duke of Berleon.

"Go, send a living man to deliver this letter to the Breton camp."
