Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 282 Bloody Ambush

"attack!"

Woo--

Amidst the deep and distant sound of the horn, a large number of crossbow bolts flew out of the woods and flew to the chaotic stone pavement road, shooting and killing the unsuspecting coalition soldiers. All of a sudden, arrows rained down and screams arose everywhere. The light armor on the soldiers of the coalition army could not defend against the crossbow arrows with armor-piercing effect at all, causing them to fall down like straw after autumn.

Then, under the cover of the rain of arrows, a brigade of heavily armed sergeants and 300 Rusino soldiers rushed out of the woods and killed the enemy. They let out a terrifying battle cry, rushed into the crowd like hungry wolves, The soldiers knocked and knocked over, and before the soldiers could struggle to get up, the deadly spears pierced their vital organs.

In addition, the chain mail cavalry brigade left by Charles also roared out of the woods. They used a small open area cleared in advance to run up to increase their speed, and then put down their heavy lances to charge towards the chaotic coalition forces. Facing the charge of the heavy cavalry, the already flustered coalition soldiers became even more flustered. They screamed and fled in all directions, not daring to resist the cavalry charge with their bodies.

In such a chaotic situation, the chain armored cavalry, like the god of war, broke up the coalition formation all the way (although it was already smashed to pieces by the fireball), they gave up their heavy heavy lances, and pulled out the knight swords at their waists. Swinging left and right slashing, the enemies blocking the path were chopped off by the horses. Big heads flew into the air, human stumps and broken arms also flew around, and the broad paved avenue was almost stained red with blood.

Perhaps it can be said that before the chain cavalry joined the battlefield, the coalition forces could still deal with the attacks of a small number of infantry, but after this killer unit launched a charge, those coalition forces immediately collapsed like a castle made of sand. On the battlefield, except for the nobles and the soldiers around the nobles who were still resisting, all the soldiers were frantically fleeing for their lives.

"Stick to your post and don't retreat!"

During the melee, Parhati, who was assigned by Titos to guard the rear, failed to run to the rear. He was blocked by the attacking enemy halfway. Under his screams, the soldiers around him formed a thin line of defense. Resisting the enemy's fierce attack, this line of defense is so crumbling, as if as long as the enemy packs up his strength and swings a heavy punch, this line of defense will collapse instantly.

puff! The dull sound of iron being pierced into flesh sounded, and a coalition soldier had no time to defend, but was pierced by the heavy sergeant's spear. His whole body strength seemed to be sucked away in an instant, and he knelt down powerlessly on the ground. Kicked on his chest, kicked his body down, and pulled out the blood-stained spear. Before the heavily armored soldier could find his next opponent, Parhati's sharp sword slashed at his chest. Face to face, with blood gushing out, the heavily armored sergeant died on the spot.

"Hold this line of defense, we will be able to survive!" Palha raised his voice to encourage the struggling soldiers around him. At the same time, he picked up a shield on the ground, stood in the position of the soldier who had just fallen, and fought with the enemy dogfight. More than 30 soldiers gathered around him. These soldiers formed a not-so-big hollow phalanx, ensuring that each side was defended by soldiers. In the wave of rout, this not-so-big hollow phalanx was like a lighthouse. Generally speaking, to attract those rout soldiers to join, those rout soldiers didn't all lose the courage to fight, they just didn't want to die on the battlefield for no reason.

The phalanx where Parhati was located not only attracted the rout, but also attracted the attention of the enemy. Under the order of the commander of the chain mail cavalry brigade, a company of chain mail cavalry was assembled, and they picked up the heavy cavalry again , staring covetously at the phalanx that was struggling to support. As if feeling the danger, Parhati's back turned cold, he looked subconsciously, and then his face changed drastically, because the sixty heavy cavalry were slowly running towards them!

Parhati knew that this was a run-up before the cavalry charged.

Just when he was in a daze, the Luxinuo soldier in front of him took the opportunity to chop the iron sword in his hand on Parhati's right arm, but the armor on the latter blocked the blow of the rusty iron sword,

Parhati reacted instantly when he was in pain. He let out an angry roar as if he had been insulted, and a shield hit heavily on the face of Lusino's soldier. The bridge of his nose had been broken and blood was pouring out. Without hesitation, Parhati took a step forward, and the sharp sword directly grabbed Luxi Nuo's soldier's throat, and then he slashed down, and a hideous wound appeared on the opponent's throat. His aorta and trachea were severed, and he was powerless.

At this moment, as if they had received an order, the Winster soldiers who were fighting with them retreated one after another. The unsuspecting coalition soldiers just wanted to cheer, but they heard the rumbling hooves of the cavalry as they ran, and their expressions changed drastically. , hastily looked towards the source of the sound, this look was even more frightening!

"Win, Winster cavalry!"

Someone in the phalanx let out a shrill scream, and the fear in his words quickly infected the others like a plague. Then, before Parhati gave the order to defend, these soldiers turned around and ran back in unison!

"Damn cowards!" Their actions shocked Paalhati. After reacting, he jumped into a rage and cursed angrily. Let's charge!

"Charge! Crush these heretics!"

Facing the charge of sixty cavalrymen, at the critical moment of life and death, the remaining soldiers who did not flee also chose Congxin in horror, abandoning their deputy commander and fleeing. Although Parhati wanted to resist, but in his heart It was clear that this was just a stupid act of sending someone to die—so Parhati also joined the ranks of fleeing.

However, how could two legs run faster than four legs? After only a few steps, they were overtaken. Before Parhati could turn around to resist, the heavy lance pierced his body from behind, and then the knight Giving up on riding a spear, he pulled out the knight sword at his waist instead, and continued to chase and kill other soldiers on horseback. Parhati, who had been pierced through his body, was lying in a pool of blood, spitting blood in pain. He struggled to crawl forward and get his sword, but he was destined to be unable to get it.

"Run! Just run into the woods and we'll be safe!"

On the other side of the battlefield, King Titos's former army had already repelled the attack of the heavy soldiers and Luciano infantry. Under the order of King Titos, they raised their shields to meet the crossbow flying from the forest Ya ran towards the woods, Titos knew very well that it was impossible to walk on the paved road, so why didn't he break into the woods and break out in another way? As long as they rushed into the woods, the terrible heavy cavalry could not threaten them, and the heavy cavalry fighting in the woods were not even as good as ordinary soldiers.
