Chapter 145 Overcoming the Long Wall
It was more than half the morning, and the sun was ravaging the restless Duke of Bourbon.
The commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of France has been really distressed in recent days.
Military expenditures, supplies, backstabbing by domestic political enemies, and gentleness with malicious intentions were all aimed at him.
But at this moment, all other troubles are nothing compared to the pain the Swiss brought him.
How could those Swiss guys be so stupid?
The Duke of Bourbon, who had learned of the existence of the long wall and the reckless actions of the Swiss from the return of the Bayar knights, could not understand it.
This is a decisive battle of 5 people, which determines the survival of several small countries and the fate of large countries.
The Swiss refused to wait for the trebuchet.
This is a precious weapon that the French have crossed many roads and overcome many difficulties. It could have played a great role in that fortification.
The Duke of Bourbon barely suppressed his irritability, and began to order: "Marquis Lautec, lead a thousand cavalry to advance at the fastest speed, and rush to the battlefield as soon as possible. Benso, your Ligurian security cavalry will also go together."
The main force of the French infantry and cavalry and trebuchets led by himself also accelerated their progress.
It's just that the stupidity and arrogance of the Swiss is already starting to cost them.
When the Duke of Bourbon began to anxiously urge the soldiers to move quickly, the Habsburg army had already begun to pour javelins at the Swiss.
In addition to the 500-strong Arcane Corps, [-] Spanish soldiers also underwent simple javelin-throwing training.
These [-] pure javeliners with poor strength were listed in the first and second rows.Within a hundred steps, they launched the first and second rounds of shooting at the Swiss phalanx.
After throwing the javelin, they quickly retreated from the gap in the formation and replaced the next round.Take a shot.
This kind of action that can be easily carried out by a single person actually requires discipline once it expands to the scale of a battle.
All the mid-level officers are observing the flag of the Central Army. The flag is constantly changing according to the command of the Marquis of Pescara. ongoing.
The middle-ranking officer yelled at his subordinates according to Ling Qi's instructions.Constantly maintain order to ensure that the queue can be switched smoothly and the javelin can be thrown smoothly.
The Swiss under attack raised his musket and shook it.Most javelins were blocked.
Each row of 750 javelins, which cost one Thaler, can probably cause a hundred Swiss casualties every day. The Swiss fighting spirit is indeed strong, and most of the people who penetrated the armor persisted and continued to move forward.
Immediately afterwards.The third row of the Arcane Corps also threw javelins.
The fourth column followed, but they did not retreat immediately after throwing their javelins.Instead, start casting spells.
When the Swiss entered the fifty paces, they were subjected to a round of "acid splash".
A wounded man with a javelin in his body.Anyone who is hit by this round of attacks will basically be unable to hold on no matter what.They wailed and fell, trampled on by their comrades in the back row, unable to stand up again.
A second round of "Acid Splash" followed, after which more Switzerland fell.
The previous skirmish and these four rounds of javelin and two rounds of "acid splash" had resulted in the deaths of about five hundred Swiss soldiers and twice as many wounded.
There are only 5000 people in the Swiss phalanx.
The casualty ratio has reached one-tenth. Most of the time, this casualty ratio can already collapse the elite professional army of this era. It is only the desire for the goal of the long wall that inspires the Swiss and makes them persevere.
After suffering heavy casualties, they finally reached the place less than ten meters in front of the long wall. Their six-meter-long ultra-long spears could immediately make the soldiers of the Arcane Corps pay the price.
The red eyes of the Swiss could already reflect the sweat of his opponent who was also extremely nervous.
Several senior Swiss mages who did not participate in the skirmish battle finally started to fight. The "power of a group of cattle" and "the tenacity of a group of bears" were blessed on the Swiss soldiers.
There was also a bard among the Swiss, who uttered a magic called "Battle Cry", which caused panic among the enemies who heard the loud roar.
The Swiss soldier, who was familiar with the bard's magic, also yelled at the same moment. This "trench" that was originally only a fourth-level magic had achieved great results, and the morale of all the Swiss was greatly boosted.
However, the blessed Swiss found that those damn cowards still refused to fight head-on!
As the command flag changed, the soldiers of the Arcane Corps began to retreat.
The old Colonna took the initiative to give up the section behind the long wall to the Swiss. Although the queue was a little flustered because of the "battle cry", several mages could not squeeze into the front row, but this avoided the period when morale was most shaken. Still worth it.
The Swiss who walked to the wall found that it was not difficult to stab the people behind this one-meter-high low wall, but it was too dangerous to turn over with a gun.
The most elite Austrian army in the Habsburg army is behind the wall, holding a long sword and eagerly trying.
The Knight of Halaha is one of the few Swiss in the first row still alive, and like other Swiss nobles, he is one of the few people in the front who use double swords instead of halberds.
He took the lead, sprinting a few steps over the long wall.
Relying on the strength of a thirteenth-level warrior, he easily crossed a low wall of about one meter, and his courage allowed him to escape the first dangerous test.
The "Howl of the Banshee" descended on the front-line Swiss spearmen. The strongest spell of Sazastan instantly killed two-thirds of the Swiss within its coverage area.
In addition to "Howl of the Banshee", the Swiss who are climbing over the wall also have to accept the test of "Acid Mist", "Dead Cloud" and "Delayed Burst Fireball".
Of course, the Habsburg spellcasters dared to attack this round, and then they retreated to the back and began to bless their soldiers with "bear's tenacity" and "bull's strength".
The main work is still done by melee infantry.
Austrian soldiers in loose tunics lined with armor charged at the Swiss.
In addition to gaining extra strength and life, several officers still had flames dancing on their weapons, and several low-level mages could not cast group buff magic, so they prepared "flame blades".
Although many Swiss who withstood the magic climbed over the long wall while the caster retreated, they really didn't have time to form the spear array that they had swept across countless powerful enemies.
Without a spear array, a long halberd is no match for a long sword.
The Austrian soldiers were also not equipped with shields. They cut off the iron halberds with two-handed swords, and then rushed into the Swiss and started a melee.
Knight Halaha escaped the "Howl of the Banshee", and he fought with all his strength with other Swiss soldiers who took out their daggers, pushing the front line so that more robes could come to the side of the long wall and lay down Unleash their strongest gun array to crush the enemy.
But how can the panicked and tired Swiss be the opponent of the Austrians who are waiting for work?
Knight Halaha was quickly pierced into the lobe of his lung by a flaming long sword, and he was dragged back by several subjects belonging to his village.
This is really a bitter fruit.
However, Knight Haraha's heart is not only remorse, he also has hope. The Bayar Knights in the middle of the front line are still fighting under the crowd of blue cloaks. . .
