"But the Phoenix tribe still has a huge number of muskets."

"It doesn't matter. Although the power of the artillery exceeds our expectations, their muskets cannot break the iron shield array and heavy armor."

"Yes, Lord Alliance Leader."

The herald waved his flag to convey new orders.

The vanguard troops accelerated their advance under artillery fire.

"The Musketeers load and prepare!"

"The enemy has entered range, fire!"

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"...

The three army groups of the Phoenix Tribe are basically equipped with Mini rifles.

The new Mini rifle weighs 4.8 kilograms, has a caliber of 17.8 millimeters, and each bullet weighs 32.4 grams. Its killing range can reach 918 meters, and accurate hits can be guaranteed within 550 meters.

Facing the terrifying Mini Rifle, apart from the large iron shield that could protect it, the vanguard's heavy armor was still fragile and papery.

A large number of heavily armored soldiers were shot through their armor and fell to the ground with screams.

Whether it is heavy armor or iron shields, they are very expensive to build, and it is impossible for the crusade to equip them with too many.

Only the nearly 10,000 soldiers charging in the front row had iron shields and heavy armor.

The soldiers at the back don't have that luxury and are equipped with heavy armor.

Even heavy armor can't stop the firing of mini rifles, let alone light armored soldiers and leather armored soldiers.

Tens of thousands of Mini rifles opened fire at the same time, and no cold weapon army could withstand it.

The Shenwei artillery and Mini rifles were unleashed at the same time, causing the vanguard to suffer heavy casualties.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured, and the number continues to increase.

The charging soldiers were about to collapse.

Facing a mini rifle with a range several times that of a bow and arrow, and assisted by artillery that was more powerful than a crossbow, no soldier was not afraid.

Soldiers fight to get promoted and make a fortune, not to die.

Soon the vanguard army collapsed.

A large number of soldiers collapsed and fled.

The supervising team hurriedly stepped forward to maintain order and kill the fleeing soldiers to prevent a greater rebellion.

However, the effect is not great.

To advance is to die, and to retreat is also death.

It's better to be hacked to death than to be blown to pieces.

The vanguard soldiers turned their swords and attacked the supervisory team.

During the first attack on the city, the vanguard army collapsed and fell into chaos before even getting close to the city wall.

Yang Wudi, the leader of the crusade, was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Asshole, it doesn't matter if the artillery is very powerful. Why are the power and range of the musket so much greater?"

A general of the crusade army said helplessly: "Lord Leader, I'm afraid we have been tricked. The weapons sold by the Phoenix Tribe are several grades worse than the weapons we use."

Yang Wudi said bitterly: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops and rectifies the soldiers. If we continue to fight, the vanguard army may be completely defeated."

"Yes, Lord Alliance Leader."

"Woooo..."

When the retreat horn sounded, the vanguard soldiers ran faster than the other, and some even threw away their weapons.

Today's war is a dimensionality reduction strike for cold weapon warfare.

"Haha... the enemy army has finally retreated, and the crusade is nothing more than that. It is just around the corner to break through the enemy camp." Rosk waved the sword in his hand, very excited.

Yu Yi shook his head and said: "Don't be too happy, the vanguard army has only lost more than 20,000 people, and the expeditionary army still has 480,000 people.

For today's battle, the expeditionary force was poorly prepared and underestimated the power of our muskets and artillery.

Next time, it is very likely that the whole front will attack the border. Even if they use a large number of people, they will be able to rush to the city wall.

In close combat, muskets are useless."

Luo Ya nodded in agreement: "Brother Yi is right, and their ace troops haven't taken action yet, so the outcome is unpredictable."
