When Alexander led the Balkan hunting guards to rush into the enemy's artillery position, an artillery was jogging and crashing into the compact retreat ditch.

The smoke and dust filled the air, and the main gunman yelled in cursing and asked the deputy to clean the cannon and restore it as soon as possible.

At this moment, the Balkans who rushed out of the smoke waved their terrible sabers towards them.

The gunners did not know that the troops protecting them had been hit by the Balkans rushing around.

It was this opportunity that Alexander suddenly attacked them with only dozens of hunting guards.

The power of artillery lies in its ability to kill enemies at a long distance, but this does not mean that those who use artillery can also fight.

The fierceness of the Balkans was fully demonstrated at this moment. They did not even give those who were trying to surrender. Although Alexander wanted to stop their killing, this was probably the only way to protect himself on such a rapidly changing battlefield.

Even centuries later, artillery soldiers with skilled skills are still regarded as talents, but now it is obvious that there is no time to recruit them.

Seeing the blood flowing down on a cannon and the Castile gunners flowing down the cannon body to the ground, Alexander began to wonder if he should establish some special military divisions at the University of Bologna as soon as possible.

For example, specialized courses and even specialized classes in cavalry and artillery subjects, because as the scale of war increases, general military disciplines no longer adapt to the changes in war.

Of course, these thoughts just flashed through the battlefield, and he didn't know if he would accidentally train an amazing artillery lieutenant one day.

The Catalans in the distance cheered, and the casualties caused by the previous successive shelling made them angry.

Now, the enemy inexplicably stopped the artillery attack and saw that their people had occupied the enemy's artillery positions, which made the Catalans roar in catharsis.

Teams of Catalan mercenaries immediately rushed towards the artillery position. When they were far away, they cheered loudly to the Balkans. Their previous disdain for these Eastern barbarians has now become admiration and gratitude for their comrades.

At the same time, the Balkan hunting guards divided into several teams quickly concentrated in the direction of the artillery position.

This rush has injured many of them, and many of them have not been able to come back.

But the chaos caused by the continuous impact on the left of Castilla was enough to offset the cost of casualties.

So when the troops of the Knights Don Decliar appeared not far from the high ground that had been ordered by the Catalans, he saw a group of remnants running towards him because of the chaos.

"The Sicilians took the artillery?"

The Knight Don Decliar asked in surprise a team officer who was standing in front of his horse and gasping.

Just before the squad officer could report the passing, a rumbling sound of cannons suddenly came from the direction of the high ground.

Knight Don Decliar looked in surprise in the direction where the cannon sounded, and then heard a dull whistling sound.

A shell landed far away in a bush on his left.

A cloud of smoke immediately rose above the bushes where the branches were smashed and flew around.

Then there was another whistling from somewhere, and another shell flew over the top of the team and disappeared directly into a slum.

These two shells that had no targets at all were purely random shooting, but made the Knight Don Decliar chill.

At this time, he believed that the artillery had been taken away by the enemy, and it was obvious that the Sicilians were using the captured artillery to shoot at them.

Fortunately, it seems that there are no skilled gunners among the enemies, otherwise they may have faced huge casualties.

"Take the cannons back," Knight Don Decliar gave an order to his men. "Look at them that they have not caused us more casualties, or simply destroy those cannons."

The Knight Don Decliar said, first urging his horse to rush towards the high ground that had been occupied by the enemy.

The Sicilians broke through the left wing, which was a very bad situation, but the Don Decliar Knights believed that they could save the situation before the situation became more critical.

The Sicilians obviously suffered a lot of casualties during the attack, so as long as the enemy drove them back before they had time to organize an attack again, they might even take the opportunity to defeat the Sicilians' right wing.

The Knight Don Decliar is an adventurous person. He advocates using offense to exchange for advantages on the battlefield, but he is not reckless. He often knows when to be bold and when to be steady.

It was precisely because Gonzalo knew him that he sent him to the left.

This is not just to save the precarious left-wing front, but to hope that he can seize the opportunity and fight back.

The Knight Don Decliar did seize an opportunity, and he saw that the enemy did not seem to have much force to occupy the artillery position.

Except for some light cavalry that seemed to be moving quickly but should not be difficult to deal with, most of the enemies were advancing to the north of the highlands.

"The Duke of Roman Thecia is really a big attempt," Knight Don Decliar, who saw the situation clearly, was secretly surprised by his opponent's appetite. "He is making the Catalans move towards our rear."

"Sir, is that duke going to threaten us behind and force us to retreat?" an officer asked in confusion.

"No, he is not trying to force us to retreat," Knight Don Decliar took a deep breath. "He is trying to wipe us out here."

Knight Don Decliar let out a hum from his nose. Although he believed that he did not have the usual duke, the other party's ambitions and attempts still surprised him.

Under the situation of equal strength, the Sicilians wanted to annihilate the largest group of Castile's army in the south in one fell swoop.

This made the Knight Don Decliar surprised the ambitions of the brother and sister.

"Start an attack on the artillery position."

The knight issued an order. Although he saw the Sicilians' attempt, his mission was to retake the left wing and launch a counterattack if he had the opportunity. As for the decision to make the Sicilian army, it was Gonzalo's business.

The Knight Don Decliar rushed towards the artillery position first. What he had to do was to drive away the light cavalry and completely destroy the artillery so that they could not pose a threat to the Central Front.

Finally, those light cavalrymen, he was not worried that they might be entangled for too long to attract the Catalans.

He was confident that he would drive the light cavalry out of his position before the arrival of the Catalans.

Following the Knights of Don Decliar was his heavy armored cavalry. Although these cavalry were not knights, they were all wearing heavy armor. When charging, such cavalry was intimidating.

To the surprise of the Knight Don Decliar and his cavalry, the light cavalry did not seem to have intended to escape in the face of their brave attack.

They actually lined up in two rows of horizontal lines.

Seeing this scene, the Knight Don Decliar shouted, but he was not angry but expressed respect.

It was obvious that the enemy was ready to fight them head-on, which made him feel respect for these brave light cavalry.

It was only as they were approaching that he found that the enemy's array seemed a little strange.

When the seemingly parallel horizontal team approaches, you will find that it is actually divided into two teams with the middle as the boundary line. All the cavalry are almost half on the side, and at the same time, they raise the musket in their hands.

"Prepare, let it go~"

The queue came the command that had been memorized and memorable, but it was always less accustomed to the Balkans.

It was just that Alexander insisted that the Balkans must understand these Italian commandments.

In fact, it was not only the Balkans, but not even the Romanesian army. As the scale of the war expanded, Alexander was gradually planning to require that all future military terms of the army of the "Alexander Empire" must be under this unified standard with Florentine Italian.

The balkans used by the Balkans were conceived by Alexander, personally organized by Ruosha, and then designed and produced by Agri Arsenal.

This type of cavalry gun has not been widely used in Roman Thesia or Sicilian troops.

On the contrary, Sophia, because of her Dragoon, was more popular in her new Wallachia army.

The short-barrel and long-handled design allows light cavalry to use their weapons more comfortably and accurately. In order to exert the power of one-time shooting, this kind of cavalry has made a lot of effort in both the process and the materials.

The result is that the barrel of this kind of shooting gun is more sturdy and durable, and it is more suitable for shooting shotguns.

When the first row of Balkan cavalry shot out a piece of projectile and moved quickly to both sides, the Balkans behind raised their muskets.

However, the companions in front were different. They used not ordinary projectiles, but bullets specially prepared for close-range large-scale killing.

Shotballs wrapped in cardboard shells spread out into a wave like iron rain when they were shot out.

Before I could see clearly the partner who was shot down by the first row of ammunition, the second row of bullets had already come to me.

Although the jingling sound of bullets hitting the armor this time was terrifying, it was obvious that the power of these bullets was much worse than before.

But this did not make the cavalry feel grateful, because the target of the oncoming rain of bullets was not only them, but also the war horses under their seats.

This kind of shotgun was originally intended to deal with the mounts of cavalry with heavy armor.

Unless they are knights who are completely wrapped in armor with men and horses, the war horses of ordinary cavalry are the best targets for this kind of shotgun.

Knight Don Decliar was really angry at the moment when he heard the sound of bullets and the painful hissings of the cavalry mounts around him from time to time.

For a knight, the target of war horses cannot be tolerated, but the enemy on the opposite side does not seem to be in these ways.

And now he found that while the enemy's cavalry was detouring to both sides, they were still shooting from afar.

Unable to stop, the Knight Don Decliar realized that he could not waste time because of the entanglement of this enemy light cavalry. He still rushed towards the direction of the artillery position regardless of everything, trying to rush there before the enemy caused greater casualties and destroy the artillery in one fell swoop.

But the Balkans obviously didn't want to give him this opportunity. They kept shooting in the distance. Although they were not as fast as bows and arrows, the much more powerful musket caused huge casualties to the Knight Don Decliar.

However, after some entanglement, he finally rushed out of the enemy's siege, and the artillery position was right in front of him.

The Knight Don Decliar gasped hard, raised his already sore arm and pointed forward and instructed his subordinates to follow.

But he didn't get used to hearing the cheers from his subordinates because of this encouragement, but a scream full of panic and confusion.

The Knight Don Decliar suddenly realized something, and he turned his head and looked to the side, and then an accident flashed in his eyes, and a trace of despair.

The Catalans have appeared on their side.

By this time, the Knights Don Decliar knew that destroying the artillery position was no longer meaningful, and as the last hope of saving the left-wing defense line, his troops were surrounded.

Although the left wing is critical, Gonzalo's attention is always central.

He found that the Sicilian attack suddenly became more fierce, and many places on the front line were almost unable to resist.

However, this did not cause him panic. On the contrary, Gonzalo showed his first relaxed smile after the war began.

He knew that the Queen of Sicily would not be able to hold on anymore, and at this time the two sides fought for who could hold on.

The Sicilian army took the initiative to launch an attack at this time, which means that they were already at the end of their power.
