Rise of the Empire Total War

appeal to -

Reining in his horse, Sir Frank, the commander of the Winster cavalry in full body garb, narrowed his eyes. Through the sight hole of his full-coverage helmet, he cast his eyes on the noble rebels of the Principality of Lasik who were gathering on the opposite side. Facing this cavalry under his command, the noble rebels seemed to be facing a big enemy. Except for the necessary rear army to guard against the defenders in Rostas City, the rest of the army lined up towards him, obviously preparing to start A big fight.

"The enemy is already prepared." Sir Frank said, as if talking to himself, he turned his head awkwardly and looked at the cavalry around and behind him. The cavalry under his command only consisted of seven brigades with a total of 900 cavalry, except for two In addition to the chain cavalry belonging to the category of heavy cavalry, the three hundred cavalry of the brigade consisted of two brigades of cavalry sergeants and two brigades of crossbow cavalry.

Just these cavalrymen... Sir Frank looked at the rebel army on the opposite side again. He could not see the end in sight. Frank swore with his limited mathematical knowledge that the number of the opponent must exceed five thousand (not), or even more. The momentum with which his nine hundred cavalrymen run may scare the enemy, but their actual power is very low.

"Prepare to retreat. We cannot fight them until the main force of His Majesty Caesar arrives." Sir Frank decisively chose to retreat. While driving his horses to turn around and retreat, he shouted loudly to the cavalry around him. His voice penetrated the entire coverage The style seemed to be muffled, but it could still be clearly heard by the surrounding cavalry.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

The knights turned their horses' heads, shouted, and kicked the horse's belly with their legs to make the horse turn around and retreat. They looked at the dark enemy on the opposite side, and couldn't help swallowing, like a small number of knights charging to defeat tens of thousands. The plot of the enemy will only appear in the knights in the mouth of bards. Even if there are similar cases in this world, they can be made by fully armed knights. Most of them are light cavalry in light armor. Even those chain mail cavalry that belonged to the category of heavy cavalry were just knights wearing a layer of chain mail. If they rushed into the crowd with their front feet, they would be pulled off their horses and stabbed to death with their back feet.

Seeing that the Winster cavalry retreated without a fight, bursts of cheers erupted in the rebel army formation. Looking at the backs of the enemy cavalry retreating, they all thought that the other party was frightened by their own mighty army. There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, who made them just a group of ignorant soldiers.

However, those self-confident nobles on their heads looked at the "fleeing" Winster cavalry, but they had a different meaning. It is very likely that the Winster cavalry that Bo retreated directly were only the vanguard. As for the main force, they should still follow far behind.

Thinking of this possibility, Yairo and the nobles became nervous. They did not dare to disarm the army from combat readiness, but instead sent a team of light cavalry to follow the retreating Winster cavalry to check for information. Guess, then they can only retreat - it's not that they are from the heart, but that they don't have to fight at all.

Fighting with a small number of Winsters is okay. If the number of enemies far exceeds that of our own, the defenders in Rostas City will break through the siege while the two armies are fighting, and they will have to be wiped out.

Embracing the worst result, Yairo and the nobles waited anxiously for the return of the cavalry squad. The soldiers who were still cheering also felt more and more wrong with the passage of time. They stopped cheering and looked at him anxiously. Yairo's direction, while talking to the people around him in a low voice, a strange atmosphere enveloped the army that was cheering not long ago.

Finally, while Yairo and the others were looking forward to seeing through, a group of cavalry rode their horses and rushed all the way here. Under the puzzled eyes of all the soldiers, the whole picture of this group of cavalry was finally exposed to people's sight. Several people were hit by arrows in their backs, lying motionless on the horseback, bobbing up and down with the movement of the horses, the situation of the rest of them was not optimistic, all of them were bloody, and their faces were full of fear!

"Not good! Not good! It's the Winsters! The army of the Winsters is coming here!"

The knights on horseback were pale, and after rushing into the army formation, they yelled loudly, telling the soldiers what they saw with their own eyes, and infecting their comrades with fear, Jairo listened to what they yelled, and his face darkened , I didn’t expect his worst plan to actually become a reality. Although the knight didn’t say the number of Winsters, but from his disturbing reaction, it can be more or less guessed that the number of enemies must be far away. Far above them!

However, he still had to ask carefully first.

After a while, the blood-stained knight was brought to Jairo. Seeing the knight's panic, he couldn't help frowning. He looked at the knight's eyes that were still in shock, and asked in a deep voice : "What did you all see just now? What have you experienced?"

"The Winsters are the main force of the Winsters!" the knight said tremblingly, suppressing the fear in his heart, and said: "We followed the retreating Winster cavalry and saw them and a large The army gathered together, the army could not be seen at a glance, and the exact number could not be seen clearly in a short period of time. Before we started counting, the Winster cavalry discovered us and started chasing us..."

Hearing the knight's words, Jairo's face became more and more ugly. He suddenly raised his head, which startled the surrounding nobles. Before they could speak, Jairo said firmly: "Withdraw the troops, withdraw to our territory , if you want to survive, organize the withdrawal immediately!"

"Uh..." The nobles were all stunned. After a while, they realized that they didn't bother to inquire further, and they all agreed and gave orders to withdraw troops.

Half an hour later, when Richard led the army to arrive here, the place where the noble rebels had lined up was already empty, leaving only filth and messy things on the ground. Richard ignored the remnants on the ground, he Raising his head slightly and looking into the distance, he could vaguely see the outline of the city of Rostas. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, but in his heart he sounded the death knell for the life of Grand Duke Felicias.

He knew that as long as he could enter the city of Rostas, the disadvantaged Grand Duke Felicias would be like a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

"Forward! Tonight I will have dinner with Grand Duke Felicias at the Rodomlins Palace in Rostas City!" Richard said loudly, and as his shout came out, all the soldiers under his command roared passionately respond.

Tread Tread——

The uniform footsteps echoed on the open plain like thunder on the flat ground, almost making the ground tremble!
