"Dragon Flame Cannon..." Captain Green's heart ached.
This light and powerful artillery should have been their weapon, but now it was used by the French to deal with them.
Damn the French!
Captain Green gritted his teeth and his brain was working extremely fast. He could no longer sit still and wait for death. According to his understanding, these dragon fire cannons did not need special shells to exert their power.
If this continues, their position will become a target.
Judging from the interval between the two artillery fires just now, it took almost three hundred seconds, or five minutes.
Although it is not known how long it took the French to transport the artillery, it can be inferred that their time was very short.
Stop them from firing!
Captain Green observed the geographical location of Position 3 through the telescope. There were only six locations suitable for setting up artillery, and they were all within his own fire coverage.
He also has three dragon fire cannons and fifteen rounds of shells.
If the deterrence of artillery is lost, the momentum of those cavalry attacks will only become stronger!
Captain Green frowned, but every second on the battlefield did not allow him to hesitate, and he made a decision in his mind.
"You must not let the other side fire another shot."
Captain Green immediately ordered: "Aim at the opponent's high ground and launch artillery fire every two minutes. Don't let the opponent fire another shot!"
"Send two teams to outflank the right wing and involve the cavalry."
Captain Green calmly gave the order.
"yes!"
The two teams, totaling 10,000 people, advanced through the trenches towards the enemy's right flank, waiting for an opportunity to outflank them.
"Shield Army, advance the front!"
Swish, swish, swish! ! !
Countless shield troops withstood the assault of the French cavalry and poured out of the trenches to form battle formations, one layer, two layers, three layers!
The phalanx composed of three layers of shields was difficult to break through by the French cavalry.
The front edge of position No. 3 was suppressed by British artillery fire, and the French were unable to move the Dragon Flame Cannon at all.
They had not originally thought about moving the Dragon Flame Cannon, but retreated to a safe area and allowed themselves to be bombarded by the British.
They only have five dragon flame shells and one dragon flame artillery.
Two of the artillery pieces that had just been blown up by the two Britons had been used. These three cannons must be used at the critical moment.
It's just that the British people don't know about this.
At this time, Captain George, who heard the sound of bombardment, was hiding on the dark mountain path and quietly counting the time.
He wanted to wait until the battle was at its most intense before launching a sneak attack on Position Three.
The commander of the third position was sitting in the crumbling military tent, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Yesterday, he had just discussed with the generals of position 2 about the position deployment and how to prevent the British army from attacking before winter came.
As a result, the British army launched an attack before the plan had even begun.
"Reporting to the general, we dispatched a cavalry team to defend the enemy, but it did not stop the British attack."
"Two of the five Dragon Flame shells have been fired, accurately hitting the two British artillery pieces. Now their artillery is launching a fierce attack on the front line of our position."
"Although they did not cause us any actual damage, our artillery is currently unable to be used and cannot have a significant effect on the shield soldiers following them."
"The infantry of the British Army has been slowly moving forward. General, please give instructions on our next move!"
A counselor reported on the battle situation on the front line.
The general of position three, after hearing this, slammed the table and said coldly: "Pass my order, yes, send out infantry to cover the cavalry attack."
"The musketeers follow the cavalry closely. As long as the cavalry breaks through the local shield army's line, they will immediately cooperate with the cavalry to tear apart the British line!"
"yes!"
The cavalry and infantry in No. 3 position quickly attacked under the cover of the infantry.
French infantry armed with lances fought alongside the British attacking troops from the right.
Both sides used spears and were not protected by shield soldiers. The fighting was very cruel.
Captain Green was calm and unfazed when he saw this scene. Now the sneak attack of their British army was resisted by the French army.
The cavalry coming out of position three became their biggest threat.
Behind the shield soldiers is a large British force, and the defense that the shield soldiers have built up with great difficulty must not be broken.
"Musketeers, shoot!" Captain Green shouted coldly and immediately issued the order.
The British Musketeers have some of the best muskets in the world and are extremely powerful!
The range is also long, and the horses of the cavalry cannot withstand a few rounds of powerful muskets.
But there is a problem with muskets, that is, the current muskets can only attack once every five minutes.
Reloading takes too long!
Under normal circumstances, there are very few opportunities to give you five minutes of free time in a battle, so the Musketeers will only use it as a last resort.
Bang bang bang! ! !
A round of musketry was fired, and the French cavalry fell to pieces, but there were still countless charging French cavalry.
These cavalrymen are not holding spears, but crossbows!
Crossbow cavalry!
Because of the invention of the stirrup, the cavalry's legs had a place to exert their strength, and highly skilled cavalry could control horses without using their hands at all.
It took less than five minutes, a distance of 300 meters, and without interference, the cavalry would not have taken such a long time.
Three hundred meters, arriving in an instant!
Prancing horse, drawing bow and arrow!
Shooting arrows at close range can cause the greatest damage, and can even be more powerful than a musket. One arrow can penetrate a cast iron shield!
However, this requires hard practice, and no one can reach this level even after ten years of practice.
But these French cavalry seem to have such ability.
An arrow shot through the iron shield, and the leaping horse flew past. Within the attack range of the three-layer shield soldiers, the horse flew away.
Some of the arrows pierced through the iron shields oozed dark red.
The three-layer shield soldiers suffered a lot of losses under the attack of this wave of cavalry archers. As for the musketeers, after they left in style, the fastest musketeers assembled their ammunition.
When Captain Green saw this scene, his eyes were splitting with hatred.
Their British cavalry was very poor and could not keep up with the French cavalry, otherwise the war would have been so passive.
Originally, these shield soldiers were developed to target the French cavalry. Unexpectedly, the French side did not use artillery.
Just use cavalry and archers like this to deal damage to the opponent.
They in Britain don't have any solution yet.
Although Captain Green was angry, he did not lose his mind. He immediately ordered the musketeers not to fire in order to defend against the sudden cavalry shooters.
At this point, the battle between the two sides has entered a fierce stage. In the camp at position three, the general looked calm, although the battle situation was not good for them.
But he didn't panic at all.
Nearly an hour had passed since the fight. He sneered, and support from the second position would arrive soon.
