Chapter 1475: Invincible Firearm (Part 3)

"The military genius brought Zizhi Tongjian to another world ()"

After hearing a thunderous "rumble" from the Frankish army formation opposite, El knew that the Franks were about to send out their cavalry.

"Are you going to rely on the mobility of the cavalry to eliminate our musketeers in one go..."

After this murmur, the corner of El's mouth curved with a look of helplessness.

"The grassland people also planned this at that time..."

…

…

The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground enveloped the entire battlefield.

Thousands of cavalry lined up in neat wedge formations to attack the musketeers from all directions.

Some came from the right side of the musketeers.

Some came from the left hand side of the musketeers.

Some came from the front of the musketeers.

Facing the Frankish cavalry coming from all directions, Gabriel did not panic or rush.

Also feeling unhurried were the musketeers who had experienced the grassland expedition.

Only those recruits who became musketeers after the expedition to the grassland could not help but shrink their necks in the face of the Frankish cavalry that kept approaching them, with varying degrees of fear appearing on their faces. color.

The reason why Gabriel and the musketeers who had participated in the expedition to the grasslands felt calm was simply because they had long been accustomed to confronting cavalry.

They have long been used to seeing enemy cavalry coming from all directions.

Gabriel conducted the command in an orderly manner.

Have the musketeers on the west side turn left and the musketeers on the east side turn right.

Then go through the process again - raise the gun, aim, and shoot.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom……

Intensive gunfire exploded again.

The moment the gunfire rang out, the whine of the horses followed.

Only a few horses were hit by pellets.

Most of the horses were frightened by the gunshots they had never heard before.

Horses, as animals, have an instinctive fear of such loud noises that they have never heard before.

The horses were frightened, so there was no way to talk about "maintaining formation".

The horses frightened by the gunshots stopped suddenly, or ran around, and some fell to the ground in fright.

These horses that stop, run around, or fall to the ground directly affect the movement of subsequent horses, causing a terrifying chain reaction.

With just one round of shooting, the formation of the Frankish cavalry was completely disrupted.

The formation of the Frankish cavalry was in chaos - this was a good opportunity to pursue the victory.

Under Gabriel's order, the musketeers quickly reloaded and then fired a second round.

Another large number of cavalry fell, further increasing the chaos among the horses.

…

…

Frankish army, this formation——

"hateful!"

Rudolf, who was standing on the watchtower, punched the wooden railing in front of him bitterly.

"Cavalry can't do it either..."

The cold reality presented to Rudolph and others ruined Rudolph's plan to defeat the Musketeers by relying on mobility.

"...Rudolph." Erich, who was standing next to Rudolph, suggested to Rudolph again in a deep voice, "The cavalry has no way to deal with this new unit of the Hiran Army."

"The horses were afraid of the loud noise, and the cavalry couldn't even get close."

"If you want to get close to the musketeers of Hiran's army, you can only rely on infantry..."

"Let the Sword and Shield Soldiers take the field again."

"Let the sword and shield soldiers hold up their shields while running towards this new unit of the Xilan Army."

"The weapons used by this new unit of the Xilan Army, judging from the style, should not have very powerful close combat functions."

"If the Sword and Shield soldiers stick to it desperately, they should be able to defeat this new unit of Xilan Army in one go."

After quietly listening to Erich's suggestion, Rudolf responded softly:

"Using human lives to gain victory..."

"...I think this is the only way we can defeat this new force of the Hiran Army.

"

Speaking of this, Erich paused.

Then he added to the suggestions he just made:

"Rudolf, how about letting Admiral Neumann lead the sword and shield soldiers to charge against the musketeers?"

"Admiral Neumann has a high reputation among ordinary generals."

"And Admiral Neumann is also a famous general in our Frank Empire."

"If General Neumann leads the sword and shield soldiers to launch a charge against this new unit of the Xilan Army, it should be able to boost the morale of the sword and shield soldiers."

"And it is said that Admiral Neumann is also very lucky."

"Always survive on all kinds of dangerous battlefields."

"The same was true for the 'Nibelungen' plan five years ago. They were able to escape from Lake Anga."

"...Yeah." Rudolph nodded, "What you said...makes sense...Let Admiral Neumann prepare! Admiral Neumann will be in charge of the next charge!"

…

…

The horn of retreat sounded from the Frankish army's formation.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the Frankish cavalry in the flesh and blood mill finally felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They hurriedly drove their horses back to their Frankish formation, leaving only the horses alone.

"Okay..." Looking at the withdrawing Frankish army, El said to himself, "Let me see what tactics you have..."

Not long after El's soliloquy fell, the Frankish army formation on the opposite side responded in time as if it had heard El's soliloquy and moved again.

The sword and shield soldiers who had just left El's field of vision appeared in El's field of vision again.

The sword and shield soldiers who appeared again did not line up in a neat formation like last time to kill the musketeers.

Instead, regardless of any formation, everyone raised their shields and ran towards the musketeers at the highest speed they could reach.

Because everyone's running speed was different, some people rushed fast, and some people rushed slowly, so the formations of these sword and shield soldiers who rushed out of the army were messy.

From their appearance, they didn't look like they were here to fight, but more like they were here to fight in groups.

Looking at this new tactic used by the Frankish army, El smiled helplessly.

"As expected... Are you planning to win by piling up the lives of the infantry..."

"If I only have the musketeers, this tactic will be very effective."

"After all, the firing rate of our muskets is so high. As long as the number of enemies is large enough, we will be approached by the desperate enemies within a few rounds."

"But - have the generals of the Frankish army forgotten that there are more troops under my command than just the musketeers..."

Er turned his head and shouted to the generals waiting under the watchtower:

"Let Chinoer prepare!"

"Yes!"
