Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 274 The First Victory

On the infantry field, the battle continues.

Despite facing attacks from enemies several times larger than itself, the defense line of the Charles Legion still stood firm. A large number of corpses fell in front of their defense line, almost forming a great wall of corpses. Human blood was splattered everywhere. It flowed like a river, and the broken limbs and internal organs floated on the bloody water, almost overflowing people's ankles.

The continuous high-intensity battles made the soldiers on both sides show fatigue, but no one dared to take half a step back. The coalition soldiers did not dare to retreat because they would be executed if they retreated privately, while the soldiers of the Charles Army did not dare to retreat. The road can be retreated, because there is a stream behind them.

"Kill! Our army will win!"

On the battlefield, in order to boost the morale of the soldiers, Charles has personally led his elite early general guards to abandon their horses and join the battle. They are fighting at the forefront, and their exquisite armor is already stained with blood. Charles, who was wearing full-body plate armor in the late period, was particularly outstanding. The century-old equipment endowed him with an almost impenetrable defense. The enemy's attack could only leave a small white spot or scratch on his body at most, and the It can't hurt people inside the armor, and the knight kite shield he is equipped with is even more defensive. Usually when the enemy hits him with a weapon but is bounced off by the armor, the knight sword in his hand will be cut at the same time. on the enemy.

boom!

Just beheading an enemy, an iron sword hit Charles' left arm, but was bounced off by the smooth plate armor. Charles turned around quickly, and the shield on his left arm hit the enemy's jaw with a heavy blow. Hearing a crisp bone shattering sound, the man's jaw shattered in response, and the blood flowed out of his mouth and nose unstoppably. How could Charles let him go? He took a step forward and inserted the knight sword into the enemy's throat with precision. When the skin was broken, a lot of blood flowed out. Then he drew the knight sword downwards and cut the man's neck open. The trachea and great arteries are clearly visible.

Feeling the warmth of the blood spewing from the enemy's wound on his body, Charles looked up to the sky and screamed. He saw with his own eyes that a soldier in heavy armor kicked the enemy's calf joint, causing the enemy's leg to bend uncontrollably, half Kneeling on the ground, and then standing behind the enemy, he stabbed out the spear. The spear broke through the defense of the enemy's leather armor, inserted into the body, and then stirred vigorously, the person's spinal nerves were severed, and the whole person Lying limply on the ground, it was impossible to continue fighting.

Although the Winster soldiers performed extremely well, the heavy infantry of their hostile Miganis Kingdom were equally outstanding. These heavily armed soldiers equipped with copper shields and spears fought brilliantly with the foot imperial knights.

During the melee, a walking imperial knight just cut open an enemy's belly with his sword, causing the intestines and other internal organs in the opponent's body to flow out from the wound and hang down on the ground. Before he could take the next step to finish the enemy,

A spear was stabbed from beside him. The foot knight reacted quickly and dodged the stabbing weapon, but then several spears struck him again. He was stabbed by a spear, but was bounced off by the plate armor he was wearing. Before he had time to rejoice, the spear that attacked him earlier hit his unprotected neck, and there was only a dull sound of iron piercing his flesh. A big hole was stabbed out, and as blood gushed out, the walking knight fell to his knees weakly, his eyes gradually losing color.

As the battle progressed, Charles's line of defense gradually retreated, and more and more corpses fell on the ground. There were coalition infantrymen and soldiers from our own side, but most of them were the corpses of the enemy, civilian crossbowmen who had shot out their arrows They also pulled out their sabers and joined the battlefield, but their melee performance was very poor, only slightly better than the peasants and soldiers in the coalition army. They were not equipped with shields and could only pick up unowned shields on the ground for defense, but even so, they still Many soldiers will be easily killed by the enemy.

Charles quickly ordered them to retreat. He knew that letting the civilian crossbowmen join the close combat was an act of giving away their heads. Not only that, a large number of casualties would also affect the morale of the soldiers, which would be harmful but not beneficial.

When the civilian crossbowmen retreated, Charles couldn't help but look in the direction of the cavalry battlefield, hoping that his own cavalry would appear in his sight. In this situation, only the cavalry charged back at the enemy could win, but if the cavalry of one's own Being defeated and withdrawn from the battlefield, the news spread here. Without their cavalry charging, the infantry would be unwilling to fight again because their morale was shaken.

Soon, under his expectation, a group of cavalry appeared on the distant horizon through the dusty sky. The flags they held high were obscured by the smoke and dust and could not be seen clearly, but they could still be vaguely seen. They were a group of heavy cavalry.

"Zoran, is that you?" Charles thought in his heart, but the enemy in front of him seized the opportunity to slash his long sword at his distraction. Fortunately, the general guards at the side found out in time and raised their shields to help him block the attack. Under this attack, otherwise there will be another mark on his body.

Not only Charles found this cavalry group, but also Prince Marcos, the commander of the coalition army. He breathed a sigh of relief, and thankfully said, "Silves, you are finally back."

However, in the next second, the double-headed eagle flags of the Kingdom of Winster rushed out of the dust in the sky, breaking all his fantasies and making his face turn pale. He could never imagine why his own cavalry would Appear in the enemy's cavalry brigade, or rush to the front line!

"It's the cavalry! The Winster cavalry! Our cavalry is defeated!"

The movement in the rear made the soldiers look back. When they saw the yellow double-headed eagle flags on a black background, panic quickly spread throughout the army. The enemy's cavalry appeared on the battlefield, and even a fool could guess what happened. What!

"Our cavalry is back! Soldiers of the Empire, fight the enemy bravely, for Caesar, for God Christ!"

Compared with the panic of the enemy, Charles' defense line was full of joy. Under Charles' loud cry, the soldiers of the Legion cheered and launched a counterattack against the enemy. One after another collapsed backwards, and the huge coalition army formation was like a pan of loose sand at this time, and it was destroyed in an instant. Amidst the screams one after another, the soldiers of the coalition army threw away their helmets and armor, and fled backwards. At this moment, the cavalry led by Zoran When they arrived, they roared into the army, beheading the fleeing soldiers, like hungry wolves entering the sheepfold, displaying the most primitive bloody cruelty!

"Failed! Lost! Retreat, retreat!"

Seeing all this, Prince Marcos, the commander of the coalition army, lost his mind. Under the persuasion of his adjutant, he left his army and fled in a hurry before the enemy cavalry came. The honor of being a commander.
