Rise of the Empire Total War

"For the empire, charge with me!"

Fighting broke out everywhere on the infantry front. Richard led his heavy cavalry to tear apart the right wing formation of the coalition infantry and defeated the enemy here. The brigade of cavalry composed of imperial heavy cavalry and Nordic tomahawk cavalry crushed all the way, and the allied infantry could only scream and flee backwards, and then were beheaded from behind by the cavalry who came up.

Richard rode a tall horse, and with the power and inertia of the horse charge, he cut off the head of the coalition infantry running in front of him with a sword. The head with a frightened expression rose into the air, and the headless corpse was still there Driven by inertia, he ran a few steps forward, but was knocked into the air by Richard's war horse. The broken body flew several meters, and then landed heavily, creating a faint layer of blood mist.

The cavalry brigade composed of more than a thousand cavalrymen raged among the crowd, beheading many rout soldiers along the way. The screams of the rout soldiers caused panic among others. They saw the unstoppable heavy cavalry rushing towards them like the god of war, and their army was in a panic. , Uninterested in fighting, just like dominoes, a wave of defeat swept the entire army.

"Pursuit! Let the enemy's fear go to hell!"

Amidst the sky-shattering cheers, the infantrymen of Richard's army chased down the routed enemy. Every second, the routed soldiers were caught up, and their fragile backs were fatally attacked. They fell to the ground with a scream, and then the enemies who were pursued The chaotic sword pierced into a hornet's nest, and blood mixed with broken pieces of meat flowed out from the wound.

In this crowd, the Nordic battleaxe cavalry screamed and brandished their battle axes to massacre the rout soldiers wantonly. Those crossbow cavalry equipped with cavalry crossbows also gave up long-range shooting and instead drew out their sharp swords to join the ranks of chasing and killing. How could they run on two legs? With four legs, he was quickly caught up and killed.

Looking at the scene of the army being defeated like a mountain, Banda Ke and Zhutian paled. Richard's cavalry was stronger than they expected, especially the ratio of heavy cavalry, which was even more shocking. You know, Among the more than a thousand cavalry in the combined coalition forces, there are only a poor hundred or so heavy cavalry, but half of the cavalry in Richard's army are heavy cavalry with both horses and men in armor!

"Retreat! We are no match for Richard in field battles!"

Bandak and Zhu Tian had this thought in their minds. They looked at each other from the air, as if they had reached a plan, and at the same time ordered the remaining troops to retreat. With the withdrawal of Wang Qi, the rout soldiers became even more unwilling to resist. Many soldiers who knew they could not escape abandoned their weapons and shields, knelt down and surrendered to the soldiers of Richard's army who were chasing up.

...

The hunt lasted until sunset that day. Against the backdrop of dusk, the soldiers escorted a large number of coalition prisoners of war into a temporarily remodeled prisoner-of-war camp. Chad transformed into a cage for them.

Sitting on the horse, watching a string of prisoners of war tied together with ropes being watched by the soldiers and entering the prisoner-of-war camp, Richard looked as usual, but a big stone was put down in his heart. At this moment, he was still wearing dirty clothes. Condela in the blood-stained armor came over, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty Caesar, the battle report has been calculated."

"Read," Richard said.

"A total of 892 soldiers were killed in our army, regardless of injuries, 2,782 enemies were beheaded, and 2,300 were captured... Among them, the enemy who died in battle was basically due to the cavalry charge and soldiers their pursuit."

"Is it an average casualty exchange ratio of three to one?" Richard calculated in his mind, and said in a low voice. The casualty ratio was within his acceptable range, and he was very satisfied with the results.

It is already a good deal to exchange the death of nearly 900 soldiers for the death of more than 2,700 enemies and 2,300 prisoners of war.

"Let the scout cavalry scout along the direction of the enemy's retreat to find out the whereabouts of the enemy, and leave some soldiers to guard the prisoners of war, and the rest should go back to the camp to rest." Richard ordered Condela, and then seemed to see Knowing what the other party wanted to say, he smiled and said: "After the enemy is completely defeated and the city of Ravana is captured, there will be many necessary celebrations.

"

"Understood, His Majesty Caesar." Richard had already said this, and Condela did not continue, but promised, and then turned and left to carry out Richard's order.

After Condela left, a system notification suddenly sounded in Richard's mind. He clicked on it and was startled, but then couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

【Epic Victory

In the first battle of Bell's Collar, you commanded an army of over ten thousand to meet the enemy's army of more than twenty thousand, and won the victory with a small number of casualties, achieving an epic victory. Rewards are now being distributed, and I wish you more victories again. (Note: The epic victory reward is only obtained when it is achieved for the first time, and will no longer be issued in the future)]

[You have obtained 30 chances to draw arms of the Holy Roman Empire, and the maintenance fee for this draw is free. 】

30 chances to draw! That means that Richard can get 120 units of soldiers, roughly calculated, at least 10,000 soldiers, and these soldiers are maintenance-free Martian soldiers, enough for Richard to sweep the country.

With these soldiers, not to mention the defeated Bundak and Jutian's coalition forces, even with the Republic of Cunya and the Principality of Lasik, he has enough confidence to win the victory.

With pawns in his hands and no panic in his heart, Richard immediately used the 30 lucky draw opportunities. (Mainly because I was afraid of being complained about, and I didn’t dare to suppress the chance of explosive soldiers)

[Using 30 chances to draw Holy Roman Empire units, a total of 120 teams of Holy Roman Empire units have been obtained, confirm the summon? 】

"Sure!"

【…】

[The summoning is completed, and you will get Spear Sergeant ×12, Heavy Sergeant ×15, Walking Imperial Knight ×10, Civilian Archer ×10, Civilian Crossbowman ×12, Giant Shield Crossbowman ×13, Hand Artillery ×5, Cavalry Sergeant × 8, chain armor knight × 10, imperial knight × 10, Teutonic knight × 10, crossbow cavalry × 3, heavy siege gun × 2, a total of 10024 soldiers. 】

Among the 10,000 soldiers, there are 3924 melee infantry, 3600 long-range infantry and 2460 cavalry, as well as four heavy siege guns and 60 artillery operators. It is worth mentioning that due to the opening of the gunpowder age, the early gunpowder troops that appeared in the middle of the game can also be drawn.

As in the past, more than 10,000 troops will appear outside the capital Nuremberg, but this time there are no new generals presented. It is really a fly in the ointment, which makes Richard a little disappointed.

...

the next day.

After a night's rest, the soldiers have regained their strength, and their morale is high after yesterday's victory, and they are ready to continue fighting at any time. And the scout cavalry that Richard sent to investigate the information also gave back the information in time: the defeated coalition forces fled all the way, and did not stop until near the place where Richard besieged the Atonement Camp to gather the rout troops.

Although Richard wanted to raise troops to pursue immediately, the more than 2,000 prisoners of war who had been captured had to be dealt with first.
