Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World

Listening to the sound of fighting coming from ahead, Paul's heart slowly became tense.

This time the performance of the soldiers was better than last time, and there was no rash charge, because a company remained beside Paul as a reserve team, and senior officers such as Bryce also rushed up, although Paul objected to the senior officers personally Going into battle, but this really boosted morale a lot.

But the situation is still getting worse, and his side is gradually showing signs of decline, and the two warring parties are slowly moving towards Huxin Town.

Paul was very anxious: "Let the reserve team go on top."

Schroeder shook his head: "It's not the time yet."

At this moment, someone came to report that a suspicious figure appeared at the trestle on the other side of the town, like another group of pirates.

"Let the reserves go," Schroeder said.

Paul sighed: "Fortunately, we kept the reserve team just now, otherwise it would be bad for another group of pirates to rush into the town."

The company as a reserve team began to run quickly to move to the other side of the town.

As soon as the reserve team moved, it didn't matter. The soldiers who were fighting in front thought that the lord would leave them behind and retreated secretly. Many people immediately left the battle and ran towards this side.

"If you didn't blow the retreat call, come back to me!"

When Bryce and other officers saw someone running back, they yelled angrily while parrying the enemy. Some returned to the battlefield, but many still did not listen.

The disadvantages on my side are more obvious...

At this moment, the old knight Schroeder moved.

He rode his horse and rushed over, quickly approached a deserter, and just swung his sword out.

For almost a split second, he didn't see his movements clearly. When Paul reacted, the deserter's head was no longer on his body, and he fell to the ground and rolled under his horse.

The headless body fell to the ground with a plop, and the blood spurted from the neck quickly stained the ground red.

The soldiers who ran away, Paul and others were stunned by this violent operation.

At this moment, the old knight's eyes were wide open, and the veins on his swollen and red neck popped up. People not far from him could almost feel something pushing the air towards the surface.

"This is what happens to deserters!"

The majestic roar like thunder was recalled on the battlefield, and it struck everyone's heart fiercely.

"The pickets obey orders, and those who dare to retreat will be dealt with accordingly, and they will be killed!"

All the pickets were stunned, you looked at me, I looked at you, not knowing how to respond.

"Didn't you hear my order?" The knight turned his face to look at them, and his squire Joyce immediately drew his sword and pointed at the picket who was still in a daze.

Just one glance at the old knight made the pickets who were still at a loss feel terrified. Fear made them quickly recall what they should do after receiving orders from their superiors. "Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison, and then raised their long swords Spears were pointed at the retreating deserters.

If you don't obey the order, I'm afraid that you will be the next one to be decapitated.

"Fight with the pirates!" I don't know who shouted first, and the defeated soldiers returned to the front line to fight the pirates. Anyway, it would be a death to go back, it is better to go back and fight the enemy desperately, killing one is enough, and killing two is profitable. If it's really unfortunate that he dies in battle, he can leave a lot of money for his family. Earl Greiman still keeps his word.

The battle line was finally stabilized. Even though he was taken aback by the old knight's methods, Paul still breathed a sigh of relief.

The officers shouted loudly and gathered the soldiers under their command. Each company gradually resumed its formation. In terms of numbers, equipment, and organization, the army's superiority had already stabilized the pirates. Now everyone has the heart to fight to the death. The pirates suffered considerable casualties.

The results of the previous training were reflected. Under the command of the officers, the soldiers formed spear arrays in units of platoons, advancing slowly but steadily, gradually pressing the pirates to retreat to the water's edge.

"All riders come closer to me!" Schroeder yelled as he and Joyce rode their horses into the battlefield. After gathering all the knights, they first took a turn and quickly left the battlefield. In pain, he rushed to the pirates desperately.

The fast-charging cavalry almost split the pirate team in half, and a large number of unlucky people who stood in the way were knocked down and trampled to death. This became the last straw that overwhelmed the pirates. , Fleeing to the shore one after another, some directly threw away their weapons, knelt down and raised their hands in surrender.

"Run forward!" Bryce, who dismounted and fought on foot, ordered. While maintaining the formation, the soldiers accelerated their pace and quickly pushed towards the water's edge.

Seeing the guards chasing after them, the pirates immediately pushed the boat away from the shore, jumped into the water and climbed onto the boat.

"It's an opportunity not to be missed."

Seeing that nearly half of the pirates were gone, Paul immediately ordered the trumpeter to sound the charge horn.

"Did~diddiddiddid~dit~diddiddid~"

The loud bugle sounded on the battlefield.

"Come on!"

In the eyes of the retreating pirates, the guards of the territory seemed to have been slapped with chicken blood. They suddenly accelerated their running speed, sprinting towards them one by one, regardless of the formation, with wide-eyed eyes.

"Get out of the way!" "Let me go first! I'll go first!" "Fuck you!"

For a while, begging and scolding came and went on the lake.

The previous bearded leader didn't know where he went, and the leaderless pirates naturally didn't have the idea of ​​fighting back from the jedi. They just pushed and scolded each other, for fear that they wouldn't be able to get on the ship.

Seeing the soldiers rushing to the shore, the pirates who had already boarded began to paddle, and all the ships were getting farther and farther away from the shore.

"Wait for me!" "The guy who gave birth to a son without a penis!" "Die!"

The pirates who had jumped into the water and hadn't had time to get on the ship cursed their companions who left them alone, and some swam desperately to the direction the ship left.

Some of the minions who remained on the shore were either killed or surrendered after resisting for a while.

At this time, a group of soldiers rushed to the shore. They were firearms soldiers sent to beat the dogs in the water.

The six musketeers had already loaded their ammunition and raised their guns to shoot in the direction of the pirate ship, while the other soldiers took out their bamboo torches and grenades and started to light them.

Although the accuracy of the musket is impressive, the ship was not too far away and the ship they were aiming at was crowded with people, so the shot achieved good results.

With the white smoke from the matchlock gun rising, blood mist suddenly rose from the bodies of four pirates on a pirate ship. The huge kinetic energy carried by the lead bullets caused the two pirates who were shot to fall into the lake immediately, and they did not know their lives.

One of the remaining two people was hit in the chest, and they could only breathe out but not breathe in. Another pirate was hit in the arm, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be taken away in an instant, followed by a huge pain.

"Ah~~~!" He howled desperately.

The people next to him immediately checked the wounds of their companions. They had never encountered such a situation. The enemy didn't shoot arrows or use crossbows. How could they hurt them? gas.

"Witchcraft! Magic! It must be black magic! Wicked black magic used by noble sons of bitches!"

Then something more exciting happened, some chubby things flew over from the shore, each with a burning rope of "嗞嗞" floating on it, UU reading www. uukanshu.com used their buttocks to know that this could not be a good thing, and the pirates tried their best to paddle and run quickly.

The first grenade that arrived was quite accurate, and it just hit the sky above a ship. There was only a loud noise, and it exploded before it fell completely. The pirates on the ship were blown up in no time.

If the muskets did not attract much attention due to the small number, the grenades made a lot of noise. Although a small half fell into the water, the remaining half was enough to make the pirates feel like they were in hell. A grenade exploded one after another, fragments and iron nails were scattered, and the sound of explosions on the lake and the howls of ghosts and wolves of the pirates followed one after another.

"Blow up you bastards!" Makarov laughed, throwing a grenade at the pirate ship. Today's victory wiped away the haze of last defeat. I let out a bad breath.

While enduring the explosion, the pirates rowed desperately, and finally got rid of the firearm attack.

At this time, the reserve team who just went to the other side of the town sent people to report. Another group of suspected pirates just waited and watched for a while. It is estimated that they saw that the reserve team had a large number of people and had been prepared. They did not launch an attack. They also disappeared immediately after the failure here, so they were ordered to continue to guard.

After a big victory, all the officers and soldiers were very excited. There were endless cheers on the battlefield, and the pessimism that had been pressing on the army for a long time finally dissipated. Seeing that the enemy disappeared from sight, the Earl ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and asked the pickets to announce two orders: everything captured must be returned to the public, and prisoners must not be abused privately.

Under the suggestion of the old knight Schroeder, the two cavalry set off in the direction where the pirates retreated to scout the enemy and prevent possible counterattacks.
