Queen Margaret still failed to put on Huang Xi's painstaking preparations, and in the end, only Chen Jiujing was the only one who put on the earplugs.

Just as Marguerite was about to put on the earplugs, a maid came to her through the walls and told her that Henry Navarra was on the left bank of Bordeaux and that he had been carried over.

This kept her from watching the fight.

However, when she left the city tower, the large-caliber naval guns that were brought to the city almost scared her to pee her pants, not to mention her, Henry was scared to wake up again on the wooden raft at the gate of the city on the left bank, and then he knew why he was scared awake and then fainted by the incident itself.

But the battle continued, with Marshal Billund thinking the opposite.

Before the battle began, the Ming army left him enough time to make plans and deal with the battle.

Billund did exactly that, and during the long confrontation, many nobles and monks who had lived in castles and monasteries on the outskirts of Bordeaux fled the army and defected north to join the royal army, and of course there were people who were hostile and fearful of the Ming army, but they were far less meaningful than the former.

From among the nobles and monks, Billon tried his best to collect information about the battle in which the Ming army sacked the outskirts of Bordeaux half a year ago, and he collected some information about whether it was useful or not, such as 'they love garlic', 'they like gold, silver, horses and beautiful girls', 'the artillery is very powerful', or 'the soldiers don't smell after bathing for days, and General Chen Jiujing is very handsome'.

In particular, the last news came from the mouth of a young male knight with a beautiful face and blond hair on his shawl hair on a manor on the outskirts of Bordeaux, and Billon could only helplessly spread his hands and plan to send him to the Louvre.

Such a good-looking, useless little white face with alternative preferences, a knight in the backwoods, King Henry III raised a lot of them in the Louvre in Paris.

Of course, it was also indispensable for the nobles and monks to attack each other, and the monks said that the nobles of Bordeaux had reached an agreement with the Ming army, and the garrison had handed over all their weapons, armor and horses without a battle; The nobles said that the monks had used all the money they had had spent on weapons and salaries to repair the burned monasteries and to find prostitutes.

Billund was also helpless: I couldn't hang the nobles who had reached an agreement, I couldn't tear down the monastery that the priest had repaired, and I couldn't let the prostitutes off their jobs. What's the use of you telling me this? I'm a soldier who fights with soldiers.

But the artillery of the Ming army was very powerful, Marshal Billon remembered.

In Billund's mind, there is an iron rule in artillery: the more powerful the artillery, the slower it will reload.

There is nothing wrong with it at all, the bigger the artillery, the larger the shells, the more gunpowder, the more powerful it is, the more everything there is, the heavier it is, the slower the reloading.

The process of reloading the first six rounds of Furlong cannon salvos also confirmed Billund's conjecture, the Ming army did not use any decent artillery for artillery battles, so they must not want to expose the artillery for too long, or wanted to fire the artillery at the height of the battle.

Artillery reloading takes a long time, but the turning point between a split front and a battle often occurs in a very short period of time.

Well, there are not many options left for Billund, these artillery his troops will definitely suffer, and since they will definitely suffer, let the most useless troops suffer - his left wing recruits.

The whole battle was almost according to his thoughts, although he didn't expect the tiger squat cannon in front of the Han defense line, but he also overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Han soldiers, and the Chinese army and the right flank were holding each other, yes.

The largest forces of the two legions were on the left flank, and the recruits, of course, could not defeat the enemy, they were routed; The second phalanx, mixed with veterans, was able to retreat on its own and maintain the line; Elite cavalry tore through the gaps, but the targets were too small for the enemy to launch artillery strikes; Then the two phalanxes fought back, broke through the defensive line, and were shelled by the enemy; The enemy artillery that has lost its deterrent power is being reloaded, and another cavalry can take the line by casually attacking the center or the right flank under the cover of artillery salvos.

Retreat is the most test of the army's ability, as long as the enemy retreat is not good, he can break up his own troops, he can take the defense line one after another and start to besiege the city, when the siege artillery is placed under the city, the city has been broken.

After the city was broken, the people of the city and the nobles would join forces, and the enemy could only leave in a hurry by boat, and Bordeaux was successfully recovered.

Almost perfect!

But what's the deal with the murderous knights of the South?

Why did there be knights coming from the south, it was Agen's road, and the three thousand kings didn't stop Narva? Isn't it true that Narva is just a bunch of peasants with dung forks?

How could there be such an elite knight? And so much.

Marshal Billund was very confused, and in the confusion, the Ming army really fired artillery, and not from the position, but from the head of the city of Bordeaux.

At an extremely long distance, dozens of shells were shot into the air, and the shells that passed through half of the battlefield were scattered so that no one knew who the shells were trying to hit, but they were very dense, not densely shelled, but more than two dozen French infantry companies were very dense.

To tell the truth, the power of the shells is extremely small, they draw an arc in the air, and they can no longer bounce up when they land, they are directly built into the ground, and a single shell can kill two or three people, and it is impossible to achieve the same results as a shell shooting a column of people at a distance of several hundred meters.

But scared to death.

What do you think about these shells coming from a distance where you can only take off your pants and throw them in that direction and let it hit you, and then kill the person next to you?

Can't run!

The infantry were stunned, and before they had time to panic, the knights who had come from the south had already rushed into the scattered phalanx, and the infantry could not form a formation against the cavalry, so it was not an equal battle at all, and the helpless infantry could only pray that their heroic knights would come back quickly and destroy these enemies.

Their knights did return, being driven back from the trenches.

Some tall black men wearing red blankets and armor, armed with iron shields and spears, jumped out of the trenches after them, they did not form large formations and small formations, but faced a knight in a team of three or five, some lured, some threw spears and pierced legs, some blocked head-on, and some struck with shields behind their backs, and suddenly a flying spear went out and pierced the gap in the plate armor, and a knight was gone.

They can kill knights much faster than if they had five knights fight five knights alone.

Marshal Billon got his wish, and the battle went according to his idea from beginning to end, and even the rout began, as he expected, from the left flank.

It's just that the rout came from his army.

Chen Jiujing on the city wall breathed a long sigh of relief, and the battlefield presented in his eyes was a counterattack by Yang Ce's African Army with the help of the Kangguru cavalry tearing apart the enemy's flank, and smashed the stalemate of the battle line in one fell swoop with Franco's machine, tiger squat cannon and Spanish musket.

Billund retreated. /14_14088/
