Rise of the Empire Total War

"charge!"

"Crush them! The Empire will win!"

Shouting a terrifying battle cry, the Danish cavalry ran into the tight phalanx of anti-cavalry formed by the infantry of the Cunha Legion like an avalanche. The heavy cavalry chivalrous knight rushing to the front was like a sharp sword, stabbing into the flank of the Cunha army. The next moment, the shield was destroyed and many Cunha soldiers were knocked over and flew. Terrible screams followed As a result, the bodies of the soldiers were trampled so badly by the war horses that they almost merged with the earth and became the fertilizer for the growth of this land!

The chivalrous knights, both men and horses in armor, tore apart the flanks of the Cunha army without any hindrance. Then, they galloped all the way under the leadership of the cavalry commander Arest, slashing up and down with their swords, and the Cunha soldiers along the way were killed The massacre was frenzied, with limbs and arms flying in the air, and blood splashed on every soldier like money, staining their armor red.

Under the furious charge of the Danish cavalry, the flanks of the Cunha Legion collapsed in an instant, and the soldiers ran away screaming. They threw their weapons and shields on the ground in order to escape faster, but they still felt that it was not enough, so they ran away On the way, he took off his armor. This almost "streaking" image made the chasing Danish soldiers stunned. They could only look at their fleeing backs and sigh.

After the flanks collapsed, the infantry of the Cunya Legion who were still fighting fiercely with the enemy were all affected. The screams and cries of the friendly wolves and porpoises rang in their ears, and their determination to resist began to waver. The generals in the army quickly stabilized the wavering military spirit. They drew out their weapons and shouted loudly, and led the guards to rush towards the enemy in person, intending to use their own actions to motivate their subordinates-the fact proved that they succeeded, but what was the use of it? ?

On the flank, after chasing the fleeing infantry of the Cunha Legion out of the front line, the chasing Danish soldiers turned a corner, led by the cavalry brigade led by Arest, charged towards the Cunha Legion fighting fiercely, and attacked from the flank These poor wretches abandoned by friendly forces.

The cavalry was defeated, and the flanks also collapsed. The commander of the Cunya Army, Somjet, who was in the center of the army, wanted to turn the tide, but he obviously couldn't succeed. Looking around, he was surrounded by people in black and yellow military uniforms. Winster soldiers, they have been completely surrounded!

"Damn it, we lost this battle." Somjet said desperately. He looked at the flag of the phantom deer held high by the flag officer beside him, and couldn't help but think of the battle between him and the other nine generals who accompanied the army after the phantom deer flag was captured. How will the country be cast aside...

...

The news of Somjet's defeat quickly spread back to Plange, the capital of the Cunha Republic. Hearing such a bad news, the whole city was immersed in shock and uneasiness. The legion led by Somjet is all the standing army of the Republic. Once defeated, they can only activate the war mobilization order to mobilize citizens to bring equipment to join the army and jointly defend the motherland.

In the Grand House of Plange, the impeachment against the Honorable Governor was also conspired. Somjet was defeated and captured, causing the sacred phantom stag flag to fall into the hands of the enemy, which made the Honorable Governor Roger of the same family as him Christian has also been affected. It is ridiculous that those members of parliament who sit on the bench have to fight for power at such a critical moment.

Not to mention the process of the parliament held in the Grand Council of Prange, after the end of the parliament, several messengers rode on the wide paved road all the way out of the city and ran in all directions. Their task was to seek for the Republic. Resist Richard's reinforcements.

Richard didn't know all this. Having just led the First Army out of Nord City, he received the good news from Earl Charles at the first time. He was very happy, and then wrote a letter, which not only praised He overthrew Charles and his Second Army and ordered him to move on and capture as many Cunyan towns as possible.

Richard knew that the official war between the two countries had just broken out at this time, and the Cunhas were still fighting against his army alone. As time went by, the allies of the Cunhas would definitely send troops to reinforce them. Cheng Richard alone against the huge coalition of Cunyans.

Is he afraid? Obviously not afraid. Since coming to this world, Richard has fought several waves of coalition forces. For him, this war is just the foreshadowing of another victory in his military career.

...

On the other side, Earl Charles, who was ordered by Richard, ordered the whole army to march towards the town of Cunha, which is the closest to the border. The number of prisoners of war was not a small number. Among them were more than 1,800 ordinary soldiers and six senior generals, including Commander Somjet Christian. After the war is over, they will be a big bargaining chip in the negotiations.

For the invasion of Charles Legion, the towns and cities of Cunha near the border have already made preparations. They moved the residents and supplies of the villages into the city as much as possible, and mobilized a large number of militias in an attempt to dispel the Winsters by relying on the city walls. The intention of siege. However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Charles, who has twenty-eight trebuchets of various types, does not need to storm the city wall. He can bombard the city wall with heavy weapons from a long distance, which will damage the morale of the defenders. After the city wall collapses, he can order soldiers Swarm up, break into the city wall, and end the battle.

"Tell your commander, for the sake of the residents of this town, open the city gate and give up resistance. Those who surrender will be treated with kindness and generosity. If you continue to resist, we will raze this town to the ground!"

Before the siege, Charles sent an envoy to persuade the surrender. His actions were not only to persuade the surrender, but also to tell the residents in the city that he had given a chance but was rejected, so what will happen after the city is broken? He can't take care of things.

Of course, it is impossible for the commander of the defenders to surrender. Not only did he not surrender, but he also mobilized a large number of militiamen to prepare for street fighting with the invaders. The focus of combat is on brutal street fighting.

Then, the siege battle started in such an unsuspecting situation.

Although it was only an attack on a small town, the tactics did not change much. Under the watchful eyes of the Danish soldiers lined up neatly, twenty-eight trebuchets of various types threw huge stones at the town in turn. Pieces whizzed through the air, fell into the town, pierced through the walls, and killed the defenders. In order to improve efficiency, thousands of archers also stepped forward, and under the protection of Nordic swordsmen, they slanted their arrows towards the town. The rain of arrows was continuously thrown from outside the city to the inside of the city, and human screams and groans of pain echoed in the sky above the town.

After the city wall couldn't withstand the ravages of the trebuchet and collapsed, the Nordic swordsmen and sword-spear militiamen in a neat formation poured into the gap in the city under the cover of their own archers...
