Rise of the Empire Total War

"In front is Timothy Castle, where the main force of the Winsters is."

Looking at the towering castle looming in the distance in the distance, Yago Walker, commander of the Opponea army, said in a cold tone, his voice was so cold that no one could feel any temperature.

"The total number of the Winsters' army is about 8,000, but our army is only 3,000. Even with the 2,000 besieged friendly troops in the city, the scale is still not as good as that of the enemy." A voice sounded from behind him, making him frown slightly , After thinking about it for a few seconds, he said: "A large number of people does not mean everything. Back then, the Winsters' army was not as large as their enemies, but they still won the final victory and became the leader of the entire Vadasia Peninsula. The most powerful country—although I really don't want to admit it, but I don't think even the combined strength of the entire alliance can defeat them, let alone the current situation of disunity."

"Then do you think we can still win?" the man behind said with a wry smile.

"It's hard." Yagao said in a deep voice, and at the same time turned his head to look at the adjutant behind him. His eyes were so fierce that the adjutant felt his eyes sore and subconsciously closed them.

When he opened his eyes again, Yagao's head had turned back, leaving him with a helmet-wrapped back of his head. He touched his nose and chuckled. They had known each other for more than ten years and they were in Burgundy together. The comrades-in-arms who fought on the battlefield of the sub-kingdom, they were born and died, and they may know each other better than their relatives.

"Katis, at the very least, I want to rescue those trapped soldiers. I don't want the tragedy of nine years ago to repeat itself before my eyes." His voice drifted to the adjutant's ears, causing the latter's heart to suddenly Like a turbulent sea, his face changed, and he quickly recalled the war that happened in that summer nine years ago.

At that time, they were still officers of the Holy Kuyawi Empire, members of the army of the most powerful country on the entire continent. Although they came from the southern Vadasia Peninsula, they were still accepted by the tolerant empire and joined the imperial army. Team, fight for the glory of the queen.

It was an unnecessary war - the history books of later generations commented on the war between the Holy Kuyawi Empire and the Kingdom of Burgundia in 1116. The two countries were originally allies of the royal family, but After the death of the old king of Burgundia, the new king was crowned. Within a few months, his wife, the princess of the Holy Kuyawi Empire, died inexplicably. After his wife died, the new king quickly married a woman from Isto The princess of La Peninsula undoubtedly aroused the dissatisfaction of the Empress of the Empire. In addition, there were rumors that the king of Burgundy conspired to assassinate his wife, and the conflict quickly aroused. The queen who loved the daughter who married far away announced that she would tear up the allies of the two countries and declare war on the Kingdom of Burgundy.

Thus the war broke out. The Fourth Army of the Empire served by Yagao and Katis was immediately transferred to the Kingdom of Burgundy, and joined forces with the army of the Duke of the Frontier to attack the enemy country. The Kingdom of Burgundia was defeated and was forced to give up its eastern territories and shrink its defenses.

at the same time,

They are also actively sending envoys to negotiate with their former allies, hoping to end the war, but because of the Queen's firm attitude, the progress of the negotiations has always been stalemate, and the Kuyawi army is still advancing.

However, in the occupied area, there are still many Burgundian noble troops defending the castle to resist, or relying on the local terrain to harass the supply line of the Kuyawi army. In order to avoid the supply line being cut off, the Kuyawi army had to disperse a large number of troops and stationed in the conquered castle. , Guard against those troublesome guerrillas.

The centurions commanded by Yagao and Katis were also assigned to a castle to garrison. They stayed there for several days, but they did not receive any news about the enemy. A soldier from the garrison of the nearby castle suddenly sent them to ask for help - a large number of enemy troops are besieging the castle!

After hearing the news, the two decided to lead the army to leave the castle to support after a brief discussion. However, the number of enemy troops besieging the castle was beyond all of their expectations. They didn't know why there were so many soldiers behind. The enemy, but from a distance, it looks like a black and dense scale, so that their original thoughts of rushing to rescue are restrained.

"We cannot abandon our comrades in arms!"

Nine years later, what Yagao said at that time seems to be still vivid in his memory. It was his loud shout that made Katis, who had been persuading him to retreat, shut up. From then on, he willingly gave up everything and followed Yagao back. To the motherland, to become his unknown adjutant.

At that time, he almost impulsively followed Yagao to rescue the trapped friendly troops, but before they could act, the castle had already been breached by the Burgundians, and a raging fire was quickly ignited inside, everything was put to waste torch.

Watching hundreds of friendly soldiers die under the enemy's butcher's knife, Yagao blamed himself, and at the same time, it became an eternal thorn in his heart.

The war lasted only a few months before the Kingdom of Burgundia voluntarily sued for peace. The princess from the Istola Peninsula was forced to divorce the new king, and the empire also sent a new princess to marry the king. Close allies, but countless soldiers who died on the battlefield never returned home alive.

...

Waking up from the memory, Katis glanced at the back of Yagao's head covered by the helmet again, gritted his teeth, and said: "Agao, if I remember correctly, there are more than 700 soldiers in the army. Cavalry, right?"

"That's right." Yagao nodded, without looking back, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I will lead all the cavalry to raid the Winster camp at night and cause chaos. As long as the cavalry succeeds, you will lead the infantry to follow..."

Before he finished speaking, Yagao understood what he meant. He chuckled lightly and said, "Night attack? If the enemy had prepared, you and the 700 cavalry would be buried inside."

"Besides, it's not that you don't know the movement of the cavalry charging. Let alone rushing into the camp, you were directly spotted by Winster's army on the way."

"However, we can only defeat Winster's army by attacking at night, otherwise, we will definitely lose." Katis said bitterly.

"Even if it's a night attack, you don't need to take the cavalry to commit suicide." Yagao said with a dark face, but obviously from Katil's perspective, he couldn't see his face, only the cold back of the head, "Don't the Winsters need the help of flames to use that vicious weapon? Then let's attack with fire directly and let them taste the taste of flames."
