I am Da Song

Chapter 525 The Grand Battle
The boundless Song army rushed to the battlefield abruptly, which surprised and delighted the hungry and tired Crusaders all the way.

Surprisingly, the size of the Song army is really terrifying.

Even in their dreams, the Crusaders never imagined such a huge army formation.

10 people, 99.999% of the people in the world, have never been in contact with so many people in their lives.

In particular, the Crusaders had no scouts at all. Under the harassment of the Turkic cavalry wolves, they had no way to go out to check for intelligence.As a result, Song Jun appeared in front of them like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

Even the most steadfast Christian believers have to shake their faith in the face of this red tide that blocks the sky and the sun.Without the help of the gods, can Christians really defeat this red-skinned devil-like army?
But after fearing the past, the fanatical knights were also somewhat ecstatic.

These arrogant knights finally waited for this moment.

The enemy finally stopped being timid and planned to fight a battle in an upright manner.

All the knights are fanatical and ready to charge. They plan to charge forward with their lances upright, looking at death as home, galloping towards destruction, charging, charging to the end of the world, until the end of the world.

Even if the enemy army is endless, they also believe that under the impact of cavalry spears, they will be mighty and irresistible until the charge pierces all the enemy's formations.

Condela rode excitedly on the horse, held his long sword and ran in front of the battle. Before mobilizing, he shouted: "Warriors of Christ, fighting with swords, marching tiredly, and suffering are the penances God requires of you."

"Only by defeating the heretics can you wash away your sins. The enemy has already invaded your city and land, insulted your wives and daughters, and desecrated your temples. Who would not rush forward to take up arms?"

"Take up arms quickly. May divine wrath make you mighty in battle, and may the Christian world resound with the words of the prophets: Cursed be he whose sword does not stain blood."

"You are worthy of this battle, for it is glorious to win and blessed to die. Take your lances and swords, O lordly knights, valiant defenders of the cross, and come with me! These heretics!"

The fanatical crusaders roared excitedly. Under the mobilization of the king, they quickly formed an array, and the hoplites quickly assembled and walked in the forefront.Followed by heavy crossbow troops.

The pride of the empire, the heavy cavalry gathered on the right flank, ready to strike with all their strength and crush all the red tides.

Just looking at this scene, you can know that the army of the Holy Roman Empire is more well-organized than the Eastern Crusaders.

They have stronger heavy infantry, which is a tradition that no country in the western world has.

Yes, the empire's heavy infantry is the best in the west, because the empire has a large-scale foot knights, who are proficient in foot combat and the use of long swords.

The heavy infantry composed of these elite foot knights is far more elite and fiercer than the heavy infantry of urban citizens in any other country.

Wearing cloaks and holding two-handed cross swords, they lined up together, marching forward with fanatical cheers, trying to chop up all evil heretics.

Compared with the fanatical shouts of the Crusaders, the larger Song Army was completely another extreme. Their three armies killed each other, and the most prominent sound in the army formation was the sound of banners flying in the air.

The soldiers of the three armies lined up neatly, and the artillerymen stood on top of the cannons holding their torches. As the torches stretched into the distance, there were as many as four thousand cannons under the torches.

Four thousand artillery pieces, this order of magnitude is already a firepower configuration that can only be possessed at the level of a large-scale battle even on the Eastern Front battlefield of World War II a thousand years later.

In front of the cannons were a full [-] King Masters of the Song Dynasty neatly lined up, all of them in red uniforms, holding guns in their hands, in a majestic square formation, row upon row, in a strict and orderly manner, with countless flags fluttering in the wind.

Among the musket arrays, there are a full 20 vans, each of which is equipped with [-] rockets. In this van alone, there are a total of [-] rockets.

The combat effectiveness of this army can be said to be the forcibly accumulated accumulation of Song's unparalleled financial resources.

In the era of hot weapons, if you have money, you have absolute combat power!
No one in the Holy Roman Empire, from top to bottom, ever imagined that one day they would be hit by a saturated coverage of 20 rockets in a matter of seconds.

Li Yanxian, the general of the Song Army, stood on a high slope, holding a telescope in his hand, and the movements of the Crusaders in the distance were extremely clear.

The most elite foot knights in the Crusaders took the lead. They lined up neatly, and their footsteps kicked up a lot of mud and grass clippings.

Facing the Song Army phalanx that was close at hand, the faces of the foot knights of the Holy Roman Empire flushed with excitement.

In particular, they found that the armor of the Song army was not heavy, and they only wore plate armor on the upper body to resist bows and arrows.

They all tend to believe that the Song army lacks financial resources to arm such a large army, so their armor is not sophisticated and can only provide limited protection.

rush over!As long as they rush over, the knights in heavy armor will definitely be able to defeat this group of light infantry with their long swords!
Under this belief, the foot knights marched forward quickly, and the dense front-line army entered the range of the Song Army's artillery.

Li Yanxian ordered calmly: "Load the ammunition! The whole army takes aim, and no one can fire without my order!"

The banners fluttered, and they kept killing in formation. Like the statues of the Song Army, they moved neatly. Thousands of soldiers moved their arms and fingers, loaded gunpowder neatly, and retreated neatly. The next batch of soldiers stepped forward to push the shells.

The foot knights of the crusaders also saw this terrifying scene. The corners of countless people's eyes widened in an instant. The opponent was so well-trained that it was shocking. Thousands of people were like one person. Beside the strange steel, the three armies were solemn and silent.If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, the Crusader knights would almost have thought that they were dazzled. These Red Tide soldiers seemed to have never moved.

They were still moving forward quickly, intending to meet the Song army hand-to-hand, and the Song army on the opposite side was already close in sight.

The hairs and beards on each soldier's face were clearly visible, and at this moment they realized that the soldiers in front of them were so neat and strange, as if they were carved out of a mold.

Each of them is so young, so indifferent, only the fanaticism in their eyes let people know that these people are not terracotta warriors, but real human beings.

Just when they were shocked, they suddenly heard countless majestic roars from the opposite army at the same time: "Raise the gun!"

The next moment, tens of thousands of muskets were raised densely, and the muzzles of the black hole were aimed at the densely packed crusader foot knights at the same time.
