Chapter 317, The Battle of Lyonnasai Plain (5,000-Word Chapter!)

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

A large group of knights appeared on the field, and the knights all witnessed the tragedy of Lyonnaise, and a kind of anger exploded in the hearts of the knights.

For knights, the most honorable thing is to defend their home and country, and now, Lyonnaise Castle has been captured, and a large number of villages have been reduced to ruins. The knights cannot forgive the atrocities of the barbarians. Their sins can only be done with their blood to repay.

Egil also discovered the power of artillery. The barbarians should not sit still, otherwise one or two hundred barbarian warriors would be lost in a round of volley. Egil knew very well how powerful the dwarves' artillery was.

The barbarian army in Scalins was still slowly gathering at this time. The barbarians were not yet ready for war due to this surprise attack. Many barbarian warriors had just woken up from their sleep. Before they were ready, the barbarians were bombarded by dwarven cannons , suffered a great loss.

The knights were about to move, but Ryan raised his warhammer to signal the knights to stay calm.

Although the barbarians are not ready for war, it does not mean that the attack can be effective, because ordinary barbarian warriors and barbarian warriors who have not reacted, those Chaos warriors and Chaos God-chosen warriors have already clustered around Egil. If you rush into the phalanx of these heavily armored fighters at this time, you will definitely suffer a strong 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 ready, the cannons of the knight army would not show mercy to these chaotic believers. The dwarves' artillery continued to roar, inflicting violent damage on the enemy. By the time Egil finally assembled the barbarian army, they had lost close to a thousand people.

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

Ryan's left wing is composed of more than 2,000 knights and more than 3,000 knight retinues. There is no infantry. The left wing is led by the former Duke Hubald from Carcassonne, leading a large group of kingdom knights, ranger knights and a small number of expeditionary knights. , he looked grim, waiting for Ryan's order.

The right wing is composed of a small number of Sea God Knights, more than 2,000 ranger knights and more than 3,000 knight retinues, and there is no infantry. The right wing is led by the deputy head of the Sea God Knights, Sir Howlf.

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

Infantry in Brittany? Egil wondered why Ryan's central army was all infantry? Can these infantry stop me too?

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

"Forward!" The barbarian army has completed its assembly, and under the suppression of artillery, the barbarians must take the initiative to attack!

A large group of heavily armored barbarian troops rushed towards the center of the knight army. The serf archers began to shoot arrows, but the weak arrows could hardly hurt any Chaos Warriors and Chaos Chosen Warriors. These Chaos believers were all covered in heavy armor. However, the bows and arrows of the Bretanians can hurt those barbarian plunderers, but they are destined not to hurt these black heavy armored warriors.

The Bastogne Longbow Battalion played their role. These longbowmen attacked the barbarian warriors by projectiles, and still caused good damage.

"Steady!" Ryan stood at the forefront immediately. When the black tide charged towards the army of knights under the gunfire of the dwarves, Ryan signaled everyone to hold on!

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

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

Lane's plan is simple,

Obviously, he has the artillery advantage, and the artillery of the barbarian army has already been destroyed in the previous siege.

So Egil and his army must attack Ryan's central army, otherwise they will always be the target of artillery strikes, which is unacceptable for the barbarian army,

After attacking the central army, taking advantage of a large number of barbarian troops silting up in the middle, once the knights on both wings outflank and charge sideways, the barbarians will obviously fall into a disadvantage. Chaos warriors are certainly good at fighting, but no army can face multiple lines for a long time fight.

Egil suddenly realized that in the battle situation, he and his barbarian army seemed to have fallen into a disadvantage.

"Kovindev!" Egil suddenly shouted angrily.

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

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

"Yes!" Kovindev led the people away.

"Haldorn!"

"exist!"

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

"yes!"

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

This cavalry was all composed of lightly armed barbarian warriors. They rode Norscan horses, held javelins in their hands, and carried a bundle of javelins on their backs. In an instant, a dense rain of javelins was thrown.

The heavily armored knights were caught off guard. About twenty knights were stabbed on the spot, and a dozen knights fell off 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 mail, which is good for defense in close combat, but not at all for long-range attacks.

This cavalry is called the Norsca Champion Hunters, and there are more than 400 cavalry. They are a small number of cavalry carried by Egil during his southward journey, and they will not be used until the critical moment.

Many knights chased after them on the spot. They raised their lances and rushed towards the barbarian cavalry, but the barbarian cavalry was extremely fast, and they quickly circled behind the Britannian knight.

Chaos Champion Kovindev drew a javelin from behind: "Let it go!"

More than 400 javelins fired a volley in an instant, and more than 30 heavy cavalry fell from their horses. Hubald was irritated by the barbarian's lowly provocation. He raised his two-handed broadsword: "Knights! Charge!"

The large group of knights on the left quickly turned their horses and rushed towards the barbarian cavalry. The barbarian cavalry laughed loudly. Their horses did not wear heavy vests, nor did they wear heavy armor like the Breton knights, so their natural speed was faster. Much faster than the knights, when the knights barely turned around, they had already run away.

Hubald led the heavy cavalry to attack the group of barbarian cavalry led by Chaos Champion Kovindev, but they couldn't catch up. After several times, the physical strength of the knights on the left wing had begun to decline.

"Hahahaha! Southern bastards! You can only eat ashes after us, and you can't even touch our horse's tail!" Many barbarian champion hunters laughed, and they turned their horses' heads cheerfully, dodging again Chased by the knights.

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-teaming of the barbarian army that was attacking the central army.

Before they knew it, 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! Spread out!"

"Yes!" The large group of knights dispersed under the unclear eyes of the barbarian cavalry. Before Kovindev realized what had happened, the serfs on their side received an order from the direction of the Brittany Central Army: " Get down!"

Thousands of serfs all fell prone to the ground immediately.

Behind the serf infantry was a large group of dwarves with three rows of black muzzles. Behind the dwarves were hundreds of serfs and their dwarven crossbows.

Dwarf engineer Duggan-Ironman with a toothpick in his mouth: "Fire!"

"Boom~Boom~"

More than two hundred dwarf gunners fired at the same time. A dense barrage of barrages almost drowned all the barbarian cavalry. Blood, sand, and lead bullets were scattered everywhere. The sound of being shot was everywhere on the battlefield. More than 400 barbarian cavalry fell down on the spot in such a dense barrage of bullets. Many barbarian men were shot several times and fell dead immediately. When the warrior was injured or fell off his horse, Chaos Champion Kovindev yelled in his heart that something was wrong, and he quickly ordered: "Scatter! Spread!"

late.

After the dwarves fired their volleys, it was not over yet. Next came the performance time of the crossbowmen. They had learned how to quickly aim, shoot, and reload for several months or even longer. They raised their hand crossbows and moved towards The barbarian cavalry pulled the trigger.

The quality of the dwarves' hand crossbows was excellent, and the bolts they shot were short but full of penetrating power. The barbarian cavalry suffered heavy losses. When more than 500 Norscan champion hunters retreated in embarrassment, they had less than 300 soldiers left. people.

Hubald 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 Bretons actually form 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. Cavaliers, we must speed up the elimination of the long-range troops located in Ryan's middle army!

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

The soldiers of the Chinese army were a little uneasy in the face of the black torrent rushing towards them, and many serf soldiers couldn't help trembling.

However, they have already received orders, and they know how to deal with these powerful enemies. Most of the serfs have already received Ryan's orders. When the barbarian army quickly approached, the serfs who appeared in front of the barbarians quickly followed Ryan's previous Order to withdraw into the army in an orderly manner.

Now, the warriors of Chaos who charged into the center found themselves facing some elite soldiers armed with halberds or swords and shields. They stood very neatly to the surprise of the barbarians, with their right feet stretched forward in the first row, With halberds in hand, the remaining soldiers raised their shields to meet the violent onslaught of the warriors of Chaos.

At the same time, the crossbowmen hidden behind greeted the charging barbarian warriors. The dense crossbow bolts caused the first row of barbarian warriors and chaos warriors to fall in large groups. The big killer finally played its role.

That is the organ gun.

The cannons in the four barrels are all filled with lead pellets blessed by the lake god prophet and even the lake fairy!

"Boom!" At close range, the shell fired at the barbarian army rushing forward, and the flames in the barrel spewed out large pieces of shot.

Hundreds or more of the barbarian warriors were beaten to pieces, but the barbarians also did not retreat. The barbarian army that was not killed on the spot entered the Breton army and began a brutal hand-to-hand combat .

"Flaming Skull!" Veronica made a move, and the Garland Witch was radiant all over. A giant flaming skull swept across 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 Lyonnaise and bet everything on the group charge of the knights. On the contrary, the army led by Ryan fought They came in order, their formation was very tight, and their battles were very methodical.

The central army was engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle. The Halberd Legion and sergeants that Ryan had just trained resisted the frontal attack of the barbarian army with all their strength, and barely supported it. Barbarian champions and hordes of barbarian marauders battle it out, and it looks like a dead end.

This is a Brittany newcomer! The Chosen Champion of Khorne keenly realized that the battlefield was moving in a direction that was not good for him, because the barbarian cavalry used to contain the left flank of the knight army suffered heavy casualties. These barbarian cavalry could rely on their flexible speed to avoid arrow rain or crossbows But they couldn't escape the lead pellets of the dwarf musketeers. At least twenty or thirty barbarian cavalry fell down in each round of salvo. Within a few minutes, the five hundred barbarian cavalry brought by Egil from Scalins With less than a hundred riders, their number is still decreasing rapidly. Sometimes the despicable dwarves don't target the rider at all, but directly attack the horse!

Chaos champion Kovindev had given up on continuing to harass the left wing, but came 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, so he called his personal guards, and three hundred Chaos God's Chosen warriors led the barbarians The remaining five thousand barbarian warriors were ready to go into battle.

At the same time, the Holy Grail Knight Armand, who was standing behind the central army and watching the situation on the battlefield, said to Ryan, "My Earl, Egil is about to lead his personal guards into the battlefield."

Ryan nodded, he turned his head, and put his gaze on the sorceress standing beside him: "Teresa, please."

The sorceress was dressed in black leather. She had been preparing a powerful spell since the beginning of the war. When Ryan spoke, Teresa raised her purple staff high.

"Eight-ring magic, ice dragon breath!"

A giant ice dragon more than 20 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 who were breathed by the frost dragon's breath were shattered into pieces. Although the barbarians who grew up in the northern wasteland were able to endure the cold very well, they could not face this powerful magical energy directly after all.

What made Egil feel very bad was that the battlefield was divided. The ice dragon's breath of ice split the barbarian army in half from the middle, and built an ice wall several meters high, and the barbarian army was cut off from 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 could not keep up.

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

His death caused further chaos in the barbarian forward army. There was no longer a unified commander, and they could only fight on their own.

The dwarf engineer Dugan-Tiehan put down the long-barreled sniper gun that was still smoking in his hand, and he proudly said to the kingdom knight Hux and Ryan's fiancé Suria standing beside him: "I said Right? In single combat, the brave dwarves will definitely win!"

The projectiles used for sniping were produced in Veronica Twilight Wizard's Tower, and they were infused with a large amount of flame magic energy. In a hurry, Dugan only got three shots, so use sparingly, the dwarf engineer said to his results. Satisfied, and can't wait to let the human knights know.

Hux could only answer him by rolling his eyes. The noble knight of the kingdom thought that the dwarf's one-on-one and the knight's one-on-one might have different meanings. Seeing this, the heroic female knight Suria took the initiative to praise: "Mr. Dugan, you His marksmanship is really good."

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

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

"This thin ice wall!" Egil was the first to charge up, and his hell tomahawk directly smashed a huge hole in the ice wall. Teresa's magic ice wall could not resist Egil's onslaught, but The ice wall was at least three to four meters thick, and the champion of Khorne's God's Choice immediately shouted at Chakoy, the only remaining Chaos wizard in his tribe and his adopted son: "Destroy this ice wall immediately!"

"Yes!" Chakoy just started to feel the wind of chaos and was preparing a spell, but an extremely dangerous signal came from his mind, and he dodged subconsciously.

A white beam of light hit Chakoy where he was originally standing.

A beautiful witch in fiery red leather appeared from afar, protected by many knights and sergeants.
