Rise of the Empire Total War

"Burn! Unleash the dogs of war, and let the flames devour everything here!"

Standing in the camp surrounded by flames, Richard shouted loudly. After more than half an hour of fighting, they successfully broke through the defense of the camp fence and led the flames of war into the camp that should have been calm.

more than half an hour ago.

There is silence in the dense forest at night, except for the occasional chirping of insects, there is no movement. The bright moonlight is blocked by the branches and leaves of tall trees, and only sparse light falls on the ground through the leaves. Therefore, the dots in the camp The flames looked extraordinarily dazzling.

After a day of recuperation, Richard and his knights were full of energy. Each of them led their horses slowly out of the dense forest along the marks left by the day. In order to prevent the horses from waking the enemy, they wrapped them in cloth. The mouth and hooves of the horse are simply isolated.

When everyone came out of the dense forest, Richard found that almost all the Ramirez sentries on duty were leaning against the wall with their heads bowed by the torches that were still shining at the camp gate, obviously deserting.

If this is his own soldier, Richard will definitely use the strictest military law to deal with it, but this is an enemy soldier, he is about to laugh out of joy.

While the sentinel was deserting, Richard quickly ordered three siege teams to start action-each of the three teams had two people, and they dragged thick logs together to attack the city.

In order to increase the force of the logs hitting the city gate, two knights charged from a distance of 100 meters from the wooden gate. They kept increasing the speed of the horses under their crotches, and the original crisp hoofbeats became dull and imperceptible because of the thick layer of fabric.

The speed of the horses was getting faster and faster, and the two knights soon approached the gate. Their eyes were fixed on the simple wooden gate, and when they were only ten meters away from the gate, they pulled the rope with all their strength and smashed the log against the gate. , Immediately afterwards, they let go of the tight rope and controlled the horse to stop and turn around and run back.

The logs they dragged slammed into the wooden slatted door according to the inertia. How could the wooden slatted door that was only tied with ropes at the junction withstand the impact of the thick log? After a crisp cracking sound, the log Passing directly through the gap that was knocked out, the entire door also began to tilt, crumbling.

Seeing that a single impact could not achieve the goal, Richard quickly ordered the next group of knights to charge. At this moment, the sentinels near the gate were awakened by the sudden movement. They stared dumbfounded at the destroyed wooden gate and the cavalry outside with their bloodshot eyes. They quickly reacted and shouted to sleep in the camp. The soldiers called the police.

However, the support of the awakened soldiers was still slower than that of Richard and the others. Before the defenders arrived, the second group of knights successfully knocked down the wooden gate, allowing the cavalry behind to roar into the camp.

In order to create even greater chaos, Richard let the Nordic battleaxe cavalry with a savage atmosphere rush to the forefront. These giants wielding terrifying battleaxes did not disappoint their king. After the bewildered sentry, they scattered and rushed into the already chaotic camp, killing any Ramirez in sight.

Surrounded by the early general guards, Richard walked slowly into the camp.

Perhaps it was because they thought that no one could attack the grain depot. The defense of the Ramirez people was as weak as paper, and the defending soldiers were also vulnerable. In Richard's sight, some Ramirez people came out of their tents in a panic. Before they could take up their weapons to defend, the axes of the Nordic Tomahawk cavalry had already rushed towards them. In an instant, their brains burst, and a life Disappeared in the flames of war.

"Kill! Kill all those who can still act in the sight of God!" Richard shouted. He rejected the advice of the knights of the guard, held up the emperor's sword, and followed the Nordic cavalry into the battlefield.

Rather than talking about the battlefield, it is more appropriate to call it a one-sided massacre. The Ramirez people did not expect that they would be attacked at night.

Their weapons and equipment are also placed outside the tent—this means that when the unprotected Ramirez rushed out of the tent in a panic to find their own equipment, the screaming Nordic cavalry The butcher knife has arrived quietly!

"Kill all the heretics!"

Riding the war horse under his crotch and crossing a collapsed camp, the captain of the Nordic Tomahawk cavalry, Daniel, shouted loudly. The terrifying battle ax in his hand was stained with blood, and several people had already been beheaded.

On the chaotic battlefield, the attackers did not forget their goal. While slaughtering the helpless Ramirez people, they lit the torches they had prepared in advance, and burned the wooden grain storehouse and cloth tent in the center of the camp. The rapidly burning flame undoubtedly made the scene even more chaotic.

"Burn! Unleash the dogs of war, and let the flames devour everything here!"

...

When the news of the burning of the grain camp was heard back to Ramirez King Oveko, it was already the evening of the second day. At this time, he no longer had the self-confidence he had a few days ago, and the difficulty of Matt City was beyond his expectation, and it also dampened his fighting spirit.

Oweko is riding a tiger, caught in a dilemma. The food and grass in the camp could only support the soldiers to continue to besiege the city of Mattidot for two days at most. If they could not break through the city within two days, they would have to suffer hunger and retreat back to Cork in despair.

The besieged city still stood proudly, countless soldiers were buried here, and the Ramirez army was full of pessimism. Oweko knew that if the troops were not withdrawn as soon as possible, only death awaited him and his army.

Looking at the city wall with solidified blood on the bricks, Oweko felt a lot of unwillingness in his heart. In this war, apart from taking the Cork Territory, he had no more victories, and even lost a large number of soldiers under the city for no reason.

Although most of the soldiers who died in battle were lowly mercenaries and conscripts from various nobles, they still cast a shadow over what should have been a perfect battle result.

With resentment and resentment towards the city, Oweko left the station with his army. When they came, they were mighty and mighty, but when they left, they were dejected and no longer as arrogant as they used to be.

However, what Oweko and the others did not expect was that the army of King Harlaus was already waiting in line on the way they must pass - thanks to Richard's timely return and intelligence, through the information provided by Richard , the combat-experienced King Harlaus deduced that the Ramirez people would choose to retreat, so he lined up to intercept them on the way to retreat in advance.

On one side is the newly defeated invaders, and on the other side is the high morale of the national army. A final decisive battle that will determine the outcome of the war is about to begin.
