Rise of the Empire Total War

"In the name of God, charge! Crush the heretics!"

Under the heavy helmet, Richard shouted loudly, holding the knight sword in his hand forward, followed by the elite early general guards lined up and the Nordic tomahawk cavalry behind them.

The target of his charge was only more than a hundred Ramirez soldiers guarding the road!

No one can calmly deal with the powerful charge of the heavy armored knights in the Middle Ages. The same is true for more than a hundred Ramirez soldiers. The tomahawk cut off the head.

This small-scale war ended very quickly, and lasted less than ten minutes. There was not a single Ramirez standing on the field, because they were all lying in a pool of blood and lost their vitality.

After that, Richard led the cavalry to clean up the battlefield briefly, took the rations of these Ramirez people, and left in a hurry.

For the sake of safety, Richard did not choose to take the main road, but entered the small woods on both sides of the road to advance covertly. While advancing, he also sent a few soldiers who were good at scouting to detect the enemy's situation, so as to avoid crashing into the enemy's barracks predicament.

It was his precautionary order that made this cavalry unit discover a big treasure.

...

On the other side, the army of the Kingdom of Ravana, under the leadership of King Halaus I, had already formally entered the territory of Mafugat. They marched eastward along the wide stone paved road. The first half of this huge army consisted of neat and elite soldiers , the second half started to be appallingly scattered, except for those untrained peasants and soldiers pushing carts full of food and supplies, there were also military traders and prostitutes who followed the army to find opportunities to do business.

This is a very common scene in the Middle Ages. When the army went out, the merchants and prostitutes pushing carts swarmed up like vultures asking about the smell of rotting corpses, and followed the army, waiting for the army to rest. Trade with soldiers.

The soldiers of the whole army will basically go to the small camp behind the army during their breaks. Of course, this also includes the system soldiers under Kondra. These Danish soldiers from Scandinavia are all big and thick. When they collectively went to traders or prostitutes to make money transactions, they were so powerful that other soldiers took the initiative to make way for fear of being beaten for no reason.

In addition, they will often meet people sent by other forces to chat. Those nobles are very curious about how Richard got the loyalty of such a strong soldier. Some people even wanted to poach the wall, but of course they touched A gray nose. This undoubtedly made other nobles even more afraid of Richard, and did not dare to take hostile actions easily.

It lasted until two days later, and the thin knight who was ordered by Richard to report finally found the large army. He told Condora everything, and the latter went to report to King Harlaus, but Harlaus was aroused. King Si's dissatisfaction.

"How could he break through the Ramirez's outer defense line with that little cavalry! This is a risk, this is to die!" King Harlaus shouted angrily.

Condela remained silent, and he thought so in his heart. After a while, King Harolds calmed down. He looked at Condela who was standing upright, and said, "Go back and manage Richard's soldiers, I hope You will not dishonor his banner when you fight the Ramirez."

"Don't worry, we will not let you off easily when dealing with His Highness Richard's enemies," Condela said.

King Harlaus nodded after hearing this, waved his hand to signal Condra to leave, and then he ordered the whole army to speed up the march, trying to reach the city of Mattidot before Richard's accident.

Will Richard be in danger? The obvious answer is yes, just not now.

At this time, he was hiding in a dense forest and quietly observing the Ramirez camp outside—this was a supply camp built at the rear of the Ramirez army.

It supplies food and grass for the whole army, and their transport teams can be seen coming in and out of here every day.

This was accidentally discovered by the cavalry sent by Richard, the so-called big baby. The guards here are not strict, and only one or two hundred soldiers were found in a day's observation, and most of these soldiers are farmers and soldiers with simple spears. The walls of the camp were nothing more than two-meter-high wooden fences, and at most a meaningless low trench was dug outside.

This doesn't mean that Richard can't rush in, the gate of this camp is not strong, Richard can choose to use the power of the heavy cavalry charge to break through the wooden gate - this is not difficult to operate, as long as the rope is tied together On a thick log, two knights grabbed both ends of the rope, let the horse rush towards the camp wooden door at full speed, then let go of the rope when it was close to the gate, and let the log slam into the weak wooden door heavily under the force of inertia .

This is an operation that Richard saw in a novel in his previous life. If I remember correctly, this method can also be seen in some film and television dramas, but Richard is not fully sure that he can knock down the door all at once.

As a precaution, Richard asked the Nordic battleaxe cavalry to cut down a few more well-developed trees in the woods with sharp battleaxes, and at the same time prepared the knights of the early general guard. His battle plan was to In the middle of the night, when the defenders were asleep, the heavy cavalry knocked down the wooden gate of the camp, and then rushed in with all the cavalry to kill the chaotic defenders, and set fire to the food by the way.

I believe that the Ramirez people who learned that the food and grass were burned will be furious, and will be caught in the dilemma of whether to continue to attack the city or retreat. No matter which one you choose, the Ramirez people are doomed to fail. King Halaus's army should be advancing towards the city of Mattidot. As long as they are fast enough, they can block the invaders here and force a decisive battle.

...

A day later, everything was ready, and every soldier went to bed early to recharge his batteries and wait for the late night battle.

Richard set the attack time at three or four in the morning. Physiologically, this is the most sleepy time of the day for human beings, and it is also the time when it is most difficult to concentrate. As long as the attacking side does not make any mistakes in their actions, they can break through the gate before the defenders are awakened.

"In the battle tonight, we must win, or we will have to retreat in despair!"

Looking at the Ramirez camp outside the dense forest, Richard clenched his fists and said to the soldiers.
