Rise of the Empire Total War

"attack!"

The next day, the Ravana Kingdom Army launched an attack again. More siege equipment slowly advanced under the cover of light infantry fire. The arrows shot from the city wall hit the surface of the equipment, but were bounced off and fell limply On the ground, he was trampled by the infantry behind him.

This time, Richard did not let the soldiers led by Mabuku take on the task of attacking the city, but sent his backbone force of heavy armored sergeants and spear militiamen—Richard was no longer willing to waste too much time before the city was broken. More time, for every day he wasted, the Ramirez people would have one more day to mobilize soldiers.

"For His Majesty Caesar, we must win!"

Inside the siege tower, a sergeant officer in heavy armor turned his head and encouraged the soldiers behind him, then turned his head and stared at the drawbridge closely, waiting for it to fall before rushing out first.

boom--

The heavy drawbridge was lowered after the siege tower was close to the city wall, and hit the wall heavily. The moment the suspension bridge landed, deadly arrows and javelins shot into the siege tower at close range, overturning the soldiers inside who were about to charge. layer.

"Go! Go! Go!"

There was no time to pay attention to the soldiers who were shot down. Under the shout of the officer, the soldiers held up their shields, jumped over the bodies of their fallen comrades and rushed to the suspension bridge, and jumped into the city wall to fight the enemy in a few steps.

The heavily armored sergeants and spear militia brought by Richard from Cuban Island are stabilizing the enemy. Under their offensive, the defenders' foothold on the city wall is gradually reduced, and some people scream and fall in a pool of blood from time to time. Among them, every spear stab of the Germanic people can take away the life of an enemy, and there are fewer and fewer defenders of Mengba City who can continue to fight.

At the city gate, after the unremitting efforts of the peasants and soldiers, the city gate was finally smashed open under the impact of the battering ram, and the sawdust flew across, and the smoke and dust blinded the eyes. After the smoke and dust mixed with the sawdust dispersed, a few Terrified soldiers appeared in front of everyone. Seeing that the city gate was broken, they turned around and ran away.

Seeing this scene, regardless of whether there was fraud or not, the soldiers who had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time rushed in amidst cheers, quickly took control of the city gate, and ran up the city wall along the stairwell to attack the front and rear with the friendly troops. Recalcitrant enemy.

Looking at the flags of the Kingdom of Ravana and the Stuart family slowly rising on the city wall, Richard smiled with satisfaction. After the city gate was taken down, it was only a matter of time before the entire city was taken down.

...

Tread Tread——

The crisp sound of horseshoes sounded on the streets of Mengba City,

Under the eyes of everyone, Richard entered the city as a conqueror. Those who dared to resist were killed by the butcher knife of the Ravana Kingdom Army, and the remaining soldiers were crushed in front of the city lord's mansion. In the open space, waiting for Richard's trial—no, not only the surrendered soldiers, but the whole city is waiting for Richard's approval.

Among the surrendered troops of more than a hundred people, the governor Arturo was impressively listed. This nobleman who had defected to the Ravana people in exchange for safety and status four years ago chose to surrender again after betrayal, but Richard would not be like Ha As kind as King Laus, he treated this kind of slave-like character with three surnames, and only death was his best destination.

After consideration, Richard chose to occupy the city peacefully, but this does not mean that he did not pursue the betrayal of the Mumbas. As a punishment, he allowed his soldiers to ransack the city for a day (you can only rob property but not kill people, if It's another matter if you are attacked), and ransacked the homes of the nobles who provided private soldiers to guard the city, and drove them to the streets to fend for themselves.

After that, Richard felt a headache about how to manage the city. He didn't have any extra troops to station here, and he also lacked suitable officials. Next, let them jointly manage Mumbai City.

However, this is clearly impossible.

In desperation, Richard could only write a letter requesting Governor Maximilian of Leuwen City to send some soldiers to take over the city, and at the same time let him take charge of Mumbai City—the rule of Leuwen City already had a mass foundation, and the people who believed in Christianity The commoners would embrace Richard's rule here, but Mumbai is the latest to occupy and needs a governor like Maximilian.

After nearly a week of repairs, Maximilian brought two spear militiamen to take over the city of Mumbai. After explaining to him a few words, Richard led the army southward, passed through Luwen, and regained the surrender of the enemy. Renburg.

When Richard left the city of Ravana, his army, including the Cuban army, totaled more than 5,000 people, but after successive fierce battles, there were still more than 4,000 people who followed Richard to conquer Sorenburg. people, including one or two hundred newcomers to the Mengba Land Baron Army.

Most of the more than 1,000 soldiers died in the battle on the Luwen River Plain, and a small part died in the war that besieged Mengba City. Richard is not in a hurry to replenish the army, because after entering Sorenburg, he believes that those barons who have not surrendered will also offer soldiers to supplement the strength of the expeditionary army.

In his memory, the fiefdom of the baron enshrined with Richard was in Sorenburgh, and it is not known whether he died in the Ramirez invasion.

...

"The Ramirez army was defeated by the army led by Earl Richard in Leuven City, and the king himself was killed by the charge of the heavy cavalry. This is a good opportunity for us."

Looking at the middle-aged baron in front of him, the messenger said sincerely.

"I understand this, but the garrison in Sorenborg has more than a thousand people, and the army that our four barons can gather is only a pitiful six or seven hundred people. How can we win?" said the middle-aged nobleman with a very serious expression on his face. It is helpless.

"Baron Gil, we don't need to fight the enemies of Sorenburg, we just need to trap them in that castle, cut off their external supply lines, and wait for the arrival of Earl Richard's army."

"It's easy to say, but that traitor obviously won't let your actions go." Baron Gil snorted and said, "If he sends troops to encircle us, we won't be able to win no matter what."

"We have fewer numbers and act much faster than the enemy. We can completely avoid fighting them head-on."

"Okay, if you want to do it, do it." Baron Jill said impatiently, covering his forehead, "I won't participate, because it is meaningless."

"Since you think so, I can only go back and report your thoughts to my master." Seeing Baron Jill's behavior like this, the messenger had no choice but to stop persuading and prepare to go back home.

"I will not be involved, but if you are in any trouble, you can always send someone to me for help."

"I will convey it truthfully, my lord Baron."

After sending the messenger away, Baron Gil silently looked at the map of the Sauron Territory placed on the table and sighed silently.
