Rise of the Empire Total War

"attack!"

The stern battle roar resounded over the entire city, and the arrows shot by the archers on both sides flew across the air at high speed. You come and go, the air is filled with a strong smell of blood and the unique smell of gunpowder after burning gunpowder. The screams and groans before death were heard from time to time by the soldiers in the fierce battle.

This is the city of Tus, the former capital of the Kingdom of Pravia, on the tenth day of the siege.

During the ten-day siege, the First Army Corps stationed in Tus City repelled an unknown number of attacks from the coalition forces outside the city. A large number of soldiers' corpses lay in the distance between the siege camp of the coalition forces and the city wall of Tus City. The blood spilled from their bodies almost soaked the entire land and moistened all the plants on this land. As expected, the plants on this land will definitely grow very well in the coming year.

Days of defensive battles also exhausted Richard's black powder storage. This is not the most important thing, because black powder is automatically refreshed every day. More importantly, there are not many clay pots that store black powder. Almost all the pottery pots in the city were requisitioned by the army to make simple grenades. That is to say, the previous grenade tactics that could kill a large number of enemy troops can no longer be used. Artillery and Arquebusiers.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of defensive resources left in the city warehouse, so the soldiers can rely on the defensive weapons stored by the Pravians to counterattack the coalition forces participated by the Pravians.

In addition, the continuous days of siege battles also made the coalition forces outside the city accustomed to the gunpowder weapons used by the Winsters. They would not be afraid of the flash of fire and the sound of the firearms when they were fired, but regarded them as ordinary weapons. The arrows are average, and continue to charge against the shield.

"Shoot! Shoot! Free fire!"

bang bang bang—

On the city wall, the fierce battle continued. Wearing chain mail and burqas, heavily armored sergeants holding kite-shaped shields and spears are fighting the enemy climbing up from the ladder. They form a tight shield formation in groups of several people, and they are close to the enemy. Once, behind them, soldiers equipped with matchlock guns or hand cannons were nervously reloading ammunition. After reloading, they crossed the front of the robe and shot at the enemy emerging from the ladder. Although the accuracy of individual shooting was very low, But several people shooting at the same time can still hit the target.

"go to hell!"

During the melee, a heavily armored sergeant roared and stabbed his spear at the foot knight in front of him. The latter dodged the thrusting spear quickly, and then kicked his right foot heavily on the heavy sergeant's shield, making the latter involuntarily He staggered a few steps back, before he could stabilize his heels, the knight of the coalition army grabbed his shield and pulled it away forcefully, and then slashed down with the knight sword in his hand, slashing at the neck of the heavily armored sergeant, and his main artery was cut off in an instant , a great deal of blood spurted out,

The heavily armored sergeant immediately fell limply to the ground, his body twitched a few times and then became silent.

Amidst the gushing blood, a heavily armored sergeant dodged the iron sword slashed by the coalition soldiers. Taking advantage of the time when the opponent retracted his weapon, he kicked the opponent's ankle hard, and the latter was hit hard. His feet softened, he groaned in pain, and knelt on the ground. Immediately afterwards, the heavily armored sergeant thrust out his spear, piercing straight into the enemy's waist. After stirring, he pulled it out again, and the blood and water mixed with pieces of flesh came out of the hideous wound. The flow came out, and the coalition soldiers fell to the ground with a scream, with only one breath left.

boom!

Taking back the smoking arquebus, Sandro, the commander of the firearms battalion, yelled at the subordinates who were loading around him, cheering up, but at this moment, an enemy flew towards him while he was not paying attention, and directly killed him. He fell to the ground, and then, fists rained down, hitting Sandro's face exposed under the helmet. Sandro was dizzy from the beating, and his hands were desperately scratching around, trying to get a counterattack weapon Coincidentally, he just caught a dagger and held it tightly. Then, with a roar, he withdrew his hand clenched on the dagger, and stabbed heavily into the chest of the enemy who was sitting on top of him punching, only to hear a dull sound With a sound, blood spurted out from the wound between the daggers, staining his entire body red.

The coalition soldier who was stabbed in the chest by the dagger lost his strength instantly, and his body was pushed away by Sandro who was struggling to get up. After standing up, he shook his still dizzy head, and the soldiers next to him hurriedly Come over and help him and pull him to the back. There was still a clear gunshot from time to time around, and the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air poured into his nostrils, making him dizzy.

After Sandro retreated, the battle continued. A large number of coalition soldiers climbed up the city wall along the ladder, and then fought with the soldiers of the First Legion. Under the close-range shooting, every gunshot could take away a Therefore, these soldiers who were equipped with firearms and insisted on the front line attracted the hatred of the enemy. More and more enemies passed through the gaps in the line of defense of the heavily armored sergeants and came to the firearms battalion.

Facing the attacking enemy, the soldiers unhurriedly fired the last shot in the barrel. Then, the hand artillerymen in the front row directly picked up the iron hand cannon and slammed it heavily at the rushing enemy. In close combat, they The hand cannon used is stronger and heavier than the arquebus, and can almost be used as a hammer. Usually, after a hammering by the hand artillery, the defeated enemy will scream and fall to the ground. They are either knocked out on the spot, Either he was smashed and suffered internal injuries, unable to fight anymore.

Bang - An arquebus soldier just fired a round, and before the smoke from the shooting in front of him cleared, a coalition knight came head-on. He raised the knight sword in his hand high and slashed at the arquebus soldier. Suddenly, the latter subconsciously raised his musket to block in front of him, but in the next second, only a crisp click sound was heard, and the musket broke in response. The horrified arquebus soldier split open in front of his face, from the head to the chest, and then he kicked the corpse, which fell to the ground with flying blood and internal organs.

"Damn it, shoot him!"

The performance of this foot knight quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers. They yelled loudly, and at the same time pointed the loaded matchlock gun at the blood-soaked knight. The latter kicked his back and was about to rush to the nearest one The soldier, however, had just rushed halfway, and there was loud gunshots around him, and the walking knight in action froze. There were several small holes in his armor, and bright red blood was slowly oozing out of it. The foot knight who was hit by several shots fell to his knees unwillingly, spitting a mouthful of blood from his mouth, he struggled to get up, but saw a soldier who gave up his arquebus and pulled out his sword came towards him, raised his hand He raised his saber, raised his sword and dropped it, killing him on the spot.
