In the early morning of November 3, Prince Du Luosong's army had been assembled and marched out of the small city in a mighty manner.
The knights composed of 50 knights set off first, followed by an infantry phalanx composed of 600 musketeers, spearmen, drummers and officers, and then followed by five newly made cannons pulled by horses.
After advancing about 500 meters, they arrived at the preset artillery position: a dirt slope with a height of about 10 meters.
More than a dozen artillery pieces have been fixed on the slope. These are the results of Prince Durosong's nearly two months of work. After Lant delivered the iron pipes yesterday, his men rushed to build 5 more cannons.
The prince led the cavalry up the slope, while the infantry formed three hollow squares to the west of the artillery position. Each square had two rows of pikemen on the outermost edge and one row of musketeers on the inside.
All these soldiers are composed of non-demon people, and the demon-supporting ones serve as officers, holding down the formation in the center of the phalanx. The three phalanxes are arranged in a font, leaving a huge gap on the west side.
The sixth prince on the hillside looked at his army, which after a month of sharpening their weapons in battle, finally had the momentum to fight, and showed a satisfied smile.
Due to the full mobilization of the non-demon people who accounted for nearly 90% of the population and the relatively sufficient number of soldiers, Du Luosong had enough confidence to dare to refuse Lant.
"Your Highness, are you really sure that this group of serfs and hunters can withstand even the Maned Wolf Knights?" His chief knight next to His Highness asked.
Du Luosong smiled and asked, "Why, you don't have confidence in them?"
The chief knight said worriedly: "Your Highness, I once watched the performance of the knights in White Wolf City. I'm afraid their strength should not be underestimated!"
"Don't worry, I have carefully studied the rules of engagement of the lords. Generally speaking, the knight captains duel, and then the knights test each other. This back and forth takes several days. The current infantry and artillery are To prevent the opponent from using barbarian surprise attacks." Durosun said confidently, "His Excellency Milojevic is on his way. Once he arrives, we will hold this territory.
My father would never give up an inch of land. "
"Are you sure that group of barbarians told you about the lord's rules of war?" The chief knight did not have much confidence in the current situation, especially against the barbarians who were known as the most ferocious in a century.
"Since they have followed the rules of engagement and declared war on Kirislav through the imperial capital, they must proceed step by step."
The prince was talking, and a girl came up behind him on horseback and whispered: "Your Highness, Luwinika and the others haven't come back yet. I'm afraid they've encountered some trouble."
When he heard that the whereabouts of the witches were unknown, the prince's face became obviously ugly: "Do you think they are in danger?"
"Luwinika has faced the Golden Knight and the Great Mage many times, so it shouldn't be..."
"Woo~"
A horn sounded from the west, and flying dust spread from the ground into the air.
A phalanx of 50 knights appeared first. The front row of the knights wore neat armor and equipment, while the knights in the rear wore helmets with different accessories. At a glance, they could be identified as the Knights of the Maned Wolf and the Northwest Territory. The phalanx formed by the nobles began to turn south 600 meters in front of the prince's infantry formation, and marched another 300 meters before stopping to form a phalanx.
"It seems like what I expected..."
Before the prince finished speaking, the second knights rushed out of the dust. This group of 100 knights was larger than the Maned Wolf Knights, and the black-scaled horses under them were also taller than the latter. Strong, the entire team is equipped with uniform armor, and equipment, just in the normal marching state, the red magic element forms a wind wall around the periphery of the team.
The third team followed the Galloping Horse Knights, with 50 white-armored knights riding 50 white wolves. Together with the Galloping Horse Knights, they were arranged to the north and directly in front of the infantry formation.
Facing the three cavalry phalanxes, the demonless people in the infantry phalanx suddenly became confused, especially the infantrymen in the northwest. After hearing the howling of wolves, some people subconsciously lowered their spearheads.
"Order the infantry phalanx to shrink toward the artillery!" Du Luosong gave the order without hesitation, then turned to look at the woman behind him, "Tell them to get ready, I'm afraid the wolves are really coming!"
"Prince, look at that..." The girl pointed to the west and opened her mouth, not daring to say anything.
The prince followed the girl's hand and looked over. There were figures in the dust. Dozens of giant carriages appeared on the ground. The carriages were parked in two rows directly behind the Galloping Horse Knights. The Demonless Man quickly dismantled them. The coaming on the frame revealed the tarpaulin outline of the giant crossbow.
The smoke gradually fell, and a tall shadow appeared behind the carriage. Eight 10-meter-high rock golems entered the battlefield side by side, which completely chilled the sixth prince, who was still feeling good just now.
The infantrymen who were moving eastward couldn't help but speed up when they saw the rocky hills. The three marching phalanxes changed their formations from three hollow phalanxes to two rows along the hillside. The square formation also has two rows of spearmen in front and musketeers in the back.
As the troops of White Wolf City were in position, Lant Galloping Horse rode a group of tall black horses to the front of the formation. Upon seeing this, Du Luosong rushed over with his chief knight.
Before leaving, he told the girl behind him: "Lusna, take your sisters and leave quickly. Go to the forest."
There is no need to start the fight now, Du Luosong also knows that he has lost. His own troops are only peasant musketeers and peasant spearmen. The number and quality of the noble knights who can attack are not as good as those of the opponent. What's more, there are monster cavalry and titans on the opponent. He If you can barely withstand the first wave, the opponent will continue to attack.
According to the current opponent's troop list, whether he can survive depends on whether his legendary national pillar can arrive in time.
However, even so, Du Luosong still calmly brought his chief knight to Lant, hoping to delay it for a while.
"Your Highness!"
What Du Luosong didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived, Lant greeted him warmly, as if he were seeing an old friend, "You bought so much sulfur from me to make those muskets?"
"How... Lord Lant, do you know this kind of weapon?" Du Luosong asked awkwardly, as if his secret had been revealed.
Lant said calmly: "It is written in the war history of the human race collected in Yeqi City that during the ancient empire era, there were about 3 or 4 gunpowder booms, but they all subsided quickly. I don't know the power of your gunpowder, Prince. Can it penetrate the magic pattern armor?"
"I am afraid……"
"Did your gunpowder use yellow explosive or nitric acid explosive? Is this warhead an armor-piercing bomb or an incendiary bomb?" Lant ignored the prince's dilemma and asked incessantly.
"Ah you... ah this..." The prince hesitated and did not dare to continue. His entire team was still using black powder and he really couldn't say anything.
