The Rise of Iceland

When the two military formations were two hundred and seventy steps apart, Francis saw that the opponent’s artillery hidden behind the phalanx fired shells and heard the roar of the artillery. At that moment, he had no time to think and rolled off his horse subconsciously. Going down, there was only time to shout: "Damn artillery!"

　　 Then eighteen slapped iron **** whizzed into the square formed by the French Musketeers and the Huron Warriors.

The nine-pound gun represents the caliber of the artillery. There are nine-pound heavy iron bullets, which is the weight of 4 kilograms in later generations. This type of shell is small but has high kinetic energy under the propelling of gunpowder. It can still cause holes when hitting ships in naval battles. s damage.

Eighteen artillery shells were fired at the same time, and the iron bullets with the smell of gunpowder smashed into the phalanx. As Francis’s phalanx was only 1.5 meters apart, it was still very compact. Only one of the 18 shells missed. , The remaining seventeen iron bullets instantly smashed through the body of the French soldier and the Huron warrior who had not yet reacted, or smashed their heads. After killing one person, the iron ball shifted its direction unabated and killed them one after another. On the ground.

　　 A round of artillery fire directly killed 38 people, including 13 French Musketeers and 25 Huron Warriors.

Nearly 20 people were killed by the iron ball from the sky before they got close to the opponent. Looking at the broken body of the companion and the French Musketeer Huron warrior, Francis got up and shouted: "The artillery is not firing fast, hurry up. Burst shooting! Kill the opposite person! The Huron warrior keeps charging!"

Francis’s command made the well-trained French soldiers quickly gather the Huron warriors, and then the heavily deformed phalanx moved forward rapidly. At the same time, the French Musketeers raised their matchlock guns and aimed them at the enemy ahead, waiting for Francis to fire. command.

Francis abandoned his horse and walked, feeling that the two sides approached the two hundred and fifty paces before they ordered the shooting. Then the French Musketeers stopped and shot forward. In their eyes, dozens of people fell down in response, and then the Musketeers walked in an orderly manner. While loading ammunition, the Huron warrior stood in front of them and rushed forward quickly.

Hadar, Hagrid, Hudik, and Cadil, who rode to the back of the phalanx, saw the Beotuk warrior standing in front of the white slave spearmen were knocked down by French muskets. About 30 people were shot down by the French muskets. Hadar gave him the protection of the leather armor, but being hit by a musket may cost half of the casualties.

　　 The Beotuk people were afraid of muskets, and when they saw the people around them fell to the ground instantly, they felt a sense of fear.

　　 Feeling that the formation is a bit disorganized, the four Hadar hurriedly dispersed to every corner to maintain military discipline, and at the same time allowed the Viking militia to stand firm and wait for it. The appearance of the four leaders and the gods gradually stabilized the mood of the Beotuks.

　　 Hudik, who has command of the military, calculated the distance between the two sides. The flag in his hand was shaking, and he shouted: "The Beotuk Warrior and the Pikemen rushed in on both sides, and the Musketeers are ready to launch! One, two, three, let go!"

　　 Hudik's voice fell, and the musketeers who had been aiming in the open position had long been allowed to ignite the match rope, and then the explosion sounded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Although the sound was not as large as the artillery, it was more concentrated and noisy.

　　 When the Icelandic Musketeers fired, the two sides were already close to two hundred paces. This is the distance that Hudik deliberately waited for the Icelandic Musketeers to increase their hit rate.

　　 The quality of the Viking militia phalanx is not as good as that of the French soldiers, but there are very few French soldiers on the opposite side. Most of them are Huron warriors. The overall quality of the two sides is not much different.

Hudik and Hadar knew that soldiers of this quality had difficulty maintaining a position when charging, and they would disintegrate at most two hundred steps. In order to maintain the battle formation of the Viking militia, they ordered to wait for the opponent to charge, and then wait for the French fire. Only then counterattacked.

Sixty Icelandic Musketeers and 20 White Slave Musketeers (Gendarmerie added to the 1,000-man army) opened fire at the same time. The distance of 200 paces greatly improved the Viking Musketeers' hit rate, and the Huron Warrior fell instantly. A rough estimate is that there are forty to fifty people.

The team on the opposite side was reduced by one-tenth and then instantly collapsed. Most of the Huron warriors dispersed and charged forward quickly, wanting to break into the Viking militia before the next round of firearms, and play their own roles. His melee strength killed the opponent, but a small number of Huron warriors were shocked, their pace was getting slower and slower, and they were ready to flee at any time.

　　 The distance of 200 paces to face the infantry was only enough time for another two rounds of shooting. The musketeers reloaded quickly, and the white slave spearmen and the Beotuk warriors with sharp weapons also quickly charged forward.

The Huron warrior and the Beotuk warrior quickly collided, and then the warriors of the two races exploded with powerful fighting power with the iron sword and spear bestowed by the white master, and then entangled and killed each other. In an instant, a samurai was killed.

　　The White Slave Spearmen rushed to the battlefield soon afterwards, and then speared them one after another, killing every Huron warrior who tried to rush in.

There were only 500 Huron warriors, and 70 or 80 people were killed by artillery and muskets. Among the remaining people, there were only more than 300 brave warriors. When they entangled with more than 400 Beotuk warriors, they were still in the wind for the time being. Basically every Huron warrior could take away a Beotuk before his death, but the appearance of the White Slave Pikemen quickly turned the tide of the battle.

The tacitly coordinated spearmen turned into meat grinders, constantly killing the Huron warriors approaching. Even if the Huron warriors rushed to the side of the white slave spearmen desperately, the weapons in their hands could not be used against those wearing plate armor. The spearman caused any damage, but was instantly stabbed into a hedgehog by spears from all directions.

　　 The Huron warrior was quickly killed in half, and when the remaining warriors were about to flee, the three thousand warriors of the Long Lake tribe also rushed forward.

　　 Francis was also preparing to let the French Musketeers fire and support. Hudik, Hadar, Hagrid, and Kadir turned into small cavalry with spears and axes and rushed into the long lake warriors in a gust of wind.

　　 The Warriors of Long Lake had never seen a cavalry. Hearing the sound of horse hooves and seeing the four people rushing on horseback, they were afraid and wanted to turn around to avoid.

　　 But Hadar's four-man horse quickly came to the Long Lake Warrior in the blink of an eye. He bent down and brandished his weapon. The large axe, spear and long knife easily killed the seven or eight White Wolf Warriors.

　　 Before the four charged, the musketeers approached and attacked the Beotuk warriors in Long Lake from both sides, and the artillery shot the French musketeers on the rear wing and the Long Lake warriors in the rear.

　　 cut melons and chopped vegetables, another white wolf warrior slashed to death, Hadar heard the roar of artillery fire from behind.

He was riding a tall horse and looking forward, he saw that the French soldiers who were about to shoot were all lying down, and then the shells killed two unresponsive hapless guys, and the Long Lake warrior behind was also smashed. More than twenty people died.

"OK!"

Hadar, Hagrid, Hudik, and Kadir are all strong warriors, and their martial arts are also strong. They ride together like a small cavalry team, walking like the wind in the long lake warrior team, constantly leading Taking the life of the samurai made the Changhu samurai cringe, shouting something. Hagrid, who could understand some Beotuk language, smiled and said: "They say we are the incarnation of the **** of death!"

　　 "Haha!"

　　 Kadir laughed, and Hudick's eye was scarred, and Hadar said loudly, "Today, let's let these guys know the sickle of the **** of death!"

　　 After eighteen cannons fired~www.wuxiahere.com~80 musketeers fired almost at the same time, and the warriors of the Changhu tribe fell down like wheat.

　　 The white wolf warrior and war sacrificial warriors headed by the warriors of the Changhu tribe were almost killed. The remaining warriors saw that the four Hadars could not stop them, and the artillery and muskets were so powerful that they all lost their fighting spirit.

Heishi, who was leading a small group of warriors to slaughter the remaining Huron warriors, saw that the Long Lake warriors who had attacked him and others at the beginning suddenly shrank and retreated, and hurriedly shouted: "God descends to the world! The power of God cannot be stopped! The ignorant people of Long Lake kneel Begging for mercy! Those who kneel and surrender will avoid death! If you continue to resist, your soul will be tortured forever!"

Following Blackstone’s words, the Beotuk warriors of Herrut City all repeated, and their voices gradually became uniform, echoing in the sky, causing many Long Lake warriors to kneel and bow their heads, while many others turned around. Flee towards the walled city.

　　 Hadar saw the Long Lake tribe's army disintegrating and fleeing. He laughed. Hudik first ordered the artillery to fire the last round, and then watched the Long Lake tribe become more and more defeated and raised his arms and shouted: "Charge! Go chase!"

Hudik gave an order, and the Viking militia united into a formation and slowly moved forward. Five hundred people formed a high-spirited team. More than 400 warriors gathered the captives and made up for the wounded, but they did not catch up for the time being. .

Three rounds of blows by twelve 9-pounder guns completely smashed the fighting spirit of the warriors of the Long Lake tribe. The French soldiers were hit by five more, and before Francis could react, they were scattered by the army of savages who fled back and even stepped on them. Several soldiers died.

　　 "Oops!" Francis hurriedly turned and ran away, while shouting, "Quick! Run away! Don't be trampled to death!"
