Chapter 882 I am the one who brings about change(3/4)

The speed was so fast that the tall noble knight had no time to react, and he and his armor were split in half on the spot.

puff!

Blood spurted out more than two meters high from the broken artery, and then the two halves of the body slowly fell to the ground.

Since his head was not chopped off, his consciousness was always awake. Before he died, he saw his half-divided body, with an expression of horror and disbelief on his face.

He couldn't understand at all how his thickened stainless steel shoulder pads, which were strong enough to withstand lance impacts, could be cut open as easily as butter.

But none of that matters now.

Due to the loss of blood supply, the brain cells soon began to go into shock and died in large numbers. Eventually, he completely lost consciousness and breathed his last breath.

Blown by the breeze, the pungent smell of blood was immediately smelled by the other knights and retinues. Coupled with the highly visual impact, several people with poor mental endurance began to vomit involuntarily.

It's not that they can't stand the bloody killings, but a physiological reaction caused by excessive stress.

The mercenaries who were watching the excitement and were not afraid of the chaos applauded and praised: "Your Majesty, your swordsmanship is getting more and more powerful. Maybe next time you can try to cut off people and horses at the same time. I believe the scene will be amazing."

Very spectacular.”

"Come on.

War horses are an important resource, and I have nothing against the horses, so why should I kill them too?

On the contrary, it is these worm-like rubbish nobles who should be driven out and killed without leaving a single one behind."

As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si suddenly urged the hell horse to rush forward, massacring the trapped knights and retinue with an unrivaled attitude.

Under the attack of the two door panel swords, whether these guys used shields to block or raised their weapons to parry, it was all meaningless.

In the blink of an eye, they were all slaughtered like melons and vegetables, leaving only broken limbs and arms everywhere and blood falling like raindrops.

After doing all this, he turned around and said to the herald: "Immediately blow the horn and wave the flag to call all the cavalry who have scattered in pursuit to come back and change their uniforms. I only give fifteen minutes to change their uniforms and horses.

, launch a general attack in fifteen minutes."

"clear!"

Without saying a word, the herald raised the flag in his hand high, and at the same time signaled another person next to him to blow a low horn.

Woo——woo——woo——

When the low voice began to echo in the sky above their heads, all the scattered light cavalry immediately stopped all movements, even discarding the captured horses, weapons and armor, and turned around and ran towards the rear of their own army formation.

At this moment, the difference between discipline and lack of discipline was vividly displayed, even for those mercenaries who were used to being free and undisciplined.

Because they know that these things will not escape if they are thrown here.

On the contrary, it is more important to launch a general attack and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop to completely conquer the entire kingdom.

Once the aristocratic power completely collapses, both wealth and power will become easily available.

Just when the cavalry returned to their own army formation and began to put on their equipment, Hemet, who had replaced Zuo Si to command the infantry, had already learned the result of the cavalry battle. He immediately fell into uncontrollable ecstasy and ordered the adjutant beside him: "Go and notify the artillery! Here

I'll hit you hard!"

"As you wish!"

Knowing that victory was in sight, the adjutant seemed very excited and without saying a word, he put up a bright red flag.

The impatient artillery officer, who had been waiting for a long time, repeatedly confirmed the attack signal in less than two seconds and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Charge! Charge quickly! It's time for us to perform! If anyone falls at this critical moment,

chain, I will punish him by cleaning the toilets for a month."

But the officer's worries were obviously unnecessary.

As the relatively safest military branch at present, artillery does not need to think too much at all. It only needs to load the gunpowder according to the process, insert the shells, and finally light the fuse.

After all, calculating distances and surveying angles are too complicated for this group of illiterate and semi-literate people.

So all they had to do was to level the muzzle and fire at the enemy's infantry square ahead.

As the fuse was ignited and made a squeaking sound, several heralds on horseback immediately ran wildly between the military formations, shouting at the top of their lungs as they ran: "Get out of the way! Everyone on this line is fucked."

Get out of the way! If you don’t want to die!”

In just a few seconds, passages quickly opened in the middle of the originally dense formation, and behind the passages were black holes of bronze muzzles.

When the fuse was completely burned out, a deafening sound and vibration swept through the entire main battlefield.

Although these bronze artillery pieces totaled only twelve, and all of them fired solid projectiles, the horrific lethality they caused frightened both the enemy and us.

Since the infantry phalanx of the noble coalition was very dense, a bloody storm broke out immediately after the cannonballs were fired. All the unlucky ones who stood in the way of the cannonballs, without exception, either died suddenly on the spot or had their legs broken and their hands disabled.

Regardless of whether it is a shield or armor, it is no different from paper when faced with such powerful projectiles.

The most important thing is that the artillery shells opened one gap after another in the enemy's formation.

Just as the noble coalition froze in place in the face of this terrifying weapon they had never seen before, the artillerymen had already completed the process from cleaning the barrel to reloading the ammunition.

As the leads made a squeaking sound again, some noble lords finally came to their senses and turned around and ran away like crazy.

Once they run away, their private troops will naturally follow them.

But before they had even taken a few steps, the artillery shells arrived as expected, tearing the dense phalanx to pieces once again.

If there were not many people who escaped because they did not react to the first bombardment, then the second bombardment was equivalent to completely waking them up. They no longer had any will to fight and began to scramble to flee collectively.

Hemet keenly observed this and quickly issued a pursuit order.

At the same time, the cavalry led by Zuo Si also finished changing their equipment and launched an overwhelming charge from both wings, crushing the last few who resisted.

The rest is to follow and pursue and expand the results.

When the demoralized cavalry rushed into the camp of the noble coalition, Duke Bram and many noble lords had no time to escape and were blocked on the spot.

Because the main battlefield collapsed so fast that they didn't even have time to figure out what happened.

Coupled with the fact that a few knights who had escaped were recounting their experiences, many people were in a state of shock and confusion.

Seeing the panic of these noble lords, Zuo Si casually hacked to death a guy who looked like a bodyguard, and asked with a sneer: "Your Excellency, is this the real power of the kingdom as you call it?

I have to say, I am extremely disappointed with this.

Because of your poor performance, I felt that this game was not difficult, and I almost fell asleep out of boredom.

Especially those knights and retinues, they are completely like a group of spoiled children, unaware of the danger and lacking vigilance.

To be honest, the fact that this country has survived until now and has not been destroyed is really thanks to the excellent matching mechanism of this continent.

Are you ready for the end of the world now?"

As the last word blurted out, the expressions of the noble lords present suddenly changed.

Because they know that the foreign prince in front of them will not play a war game between nobles with them. Even if he loses, his life will not be endangered. At most, he can only pay the ransom and return to the family territory to make a comeback.

After being silent for half a minute, Duke Bram mustered up the courage to test carefully: "Are you really going to kill us all?

If there are no nobles, who are you going to use to help you rule this country?

Those merchants, craftsmen and other citizens?

They are all a bunch of deviant guys with no loyalty at all.

On the contrary, we can quickly help you stabilize your rule over this country.

We are willing to regard you as king and swear allegiance to you and your heirs."

"Ha ha ha ha!

Sorry, I don't need your allegiance, I just need the power, wealth and land in your hands.

As for the crown, I will get it myself.

As for loyalty, I don't care about these boring things at all.

Because loyalty itself comes from interests.

As long as I can satisfy their interests, these people will always be loyal to me.

So please go die in peace.

Don't worry, in a few weeks to a few months at most, I will send all your servants, wives, and children to keep you company.

After all, the most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy.”

Zuo Si laughed and sentenced all the noble lords present to death.

In his opinion, the feudal system is the most primitive, backward and laziest of all forms of governance, and may only be slightly better than the tribal system.

The biggest advantage is that the cost of governance is relatively low, and the political structure is extremely simple. As long as the king maintains a good relationship and balance with several large families, his status can be as stable as Mount Tai.

However, the disadvantages are too numerous to count, and social governance capabilities and organization are so low that it is maddeningly low.

As an emperor who wanted to conquer this continent, how could Zuo Si choose feudalism as his base, so he just waved his hand.

The cavalry behind them understood instantly, raised their spears and charged forward, killing the former supreme rulers of these kingdoms on the spot, or taking them prisoner and beheading them, hanging them, or nailing them to the rack.

Anyway, ordinary soldiers may still have a chance to survive, but those with noble blood would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

With the annihilation of the noble lords, the battle that determined the fate of the kingdom finally came to an end.

The remaining trivial matters, such as cleaning the battlefield, providing treatment for injured soldiers, burning and burying corpses to prevent plague, obviously did not require Zuo Si's personal intervention.
