Rise of the Empire Total War

"Respectable chiefs, I am very glad to be able to fight side by side with you against the expeditionary force of the Holy Roman Empire across the sea."

Looking at the indigenous chiefs a few meters away in front of him and the huge army behind them, Ajit Jain, Governor of Begowo, smiled and said in a very gentlemanly manner. The more than ten chiefs who were greeted by him hurriedly After agreeing, they all echoed his words.

Although Ajit was smiling, the disdain and contempt in his eyes flashed when outsiders didn't notice. He was from the native land and had always looked down on these barbaric aborigines. If it wasn't for the policy of the new parliament, he would have It is possible not to unite with these natives and want his money? That was a dream. It would be nice if he didn't blackmail the indigenous people.

Although Ajit was very disdainful of these barbarians in his heart, he still did a good job of superficial skills, making it impossible to pick any thorns. He turned his head and glanced at the demoralized army behind him, and then looked at the darkness on the opposite side. The indigenous army, which was like a black ocean, especially the dozens of giant creatures with huge bodies, suddenly had confidence and ideas in their hearts. His colonial army can't go up, especially in the case of a new defeat, forcibly returning to the battlefield will only add to his chaos.

"Chiefs." Ajit said, "The combat power of the Holy Roman Empire Expeditionary Force cannot be underestimated, but I see that your tribal army is mighty, and with the assistance of those huge war elephants, it will definitely be able to defeat the invading enemy. of.

As long as the expeditionary force of the Holy Roman Empire is driven into the sea, I will hold a banquet at the Governor's Mansion in Begowo, and invite all the chiefs and nobles to participate. In addition, there will be rich rewards as a reward. "

Hearing this, the chiefs were all overjoyed. They enjoyed the way that the governor of Ansmara, who considered themselves noble, praised them personally, and they were also full of expectations for the banquet and wealth that Ajit said. In the eyes of these backward Zane natives, the wine and food from the Ansmara people are very attractive, because Ansmara chefs will add spices and other seasonings to it when cooking, and the natives People's cooking methods are very primitive, either they are grilled on the fire, or they are stewed into a pot of miscellaneous soup.

So they all patted their chests and agreed, isn't it the Holy Roman Empire army? In the eyes of the Zane natives who can drive rhinos and war elephants, although the Holy Roman Empire army can defeat the Ansmara army, they must not be able to sustain it. The charge of a mass of rampaging rhinos is no match for the trampling of an almost invulnerable war elephant.

What's more, they also have such a large number of troops. The combined strength of the eleven tribes is as high as more than 30,000. If Ajit's colonial army is added, it also exceeds the mark of 35,000. The people of the Holy Roman Empire came here from the remote Valdasia Peninsula, and their strength must not be too many. Even if the tribal coalition forces are flooded with people, they should be able to drown them.

If Trond Olsen knew what these chiefs were thinking,

They will definitely not be able to help laughing and laughing at their innocence. If the war can really be won by numbers, the empire will not be where it is today.

Seeing the confident look of the chiefs, the smile on Ajit Jain's face did not change, but he still despised these ignorant guys in his heart. As far as he knew, the Holy Roman Empire and even its predecessor, the Kingdom of Winster, had seldom been defeated in a few-to-many battles, and they were able to win the final victory every time.

However, he didn't intend to remind these confident chiefs that he would like to see these barbarians suffer a head-on blow, preferably if their strength was severely damaged, so that after the war he could easily clean up their tribe.

However, Ajit overlooked one thing, can he really live until after the war?

...

After several days of reconnaissance, the scouts of the Expeditionary Army found several colonial points closest to the stronghold, but these colonial points were surrounded by tall city walls, and the last time they were surrounded by wooden walls three to four meters high. , it is very difficult to break through the outer wall of the colonial point, let alone conquer the gathering point guarded by more than a hundred militiamen.

Over the past few days, under the treatment of the army chaplain who also served as a military doctor, the unaccustomed and sick soldiers in the army have gradually recovered. Some soldiers with milder illnesses have recovered and returned to their respective companies to prepare for battle. The construction of the temporary port on the beach is also coming to an end. It seems that it only takes two or three days for the temporary port to be completed, and a large amount of supplies can be unloaded and brought to the shore.

Just as things were getting better, the scout squad that had been sent out for several days was suddenly attacked by the indigenous militia cavalry. Although the carbines resisted tenaciously, they still suffered heavy losses. Only one of the ten-man squad was left with a The seriously injured soldier fled back, and the soldier lost too much blood and died after telling what happened intermittently.

After this incident was reported to Trond's ears, the alarm bell in his heart rang loudly, and he quickly ordered the whole army to increase its combat readiness. Increases the risk of soldier exposure, but is better than being attacked and helpless by enemy forces.

Two days later, the attack did not happen, but the tribal coalition forces appeared on the vast yellow sand outside the expeditionary stronghold. They did not rush to launch an attack, but followed Governor Ajit's proposal and sent envoys to Trond to propose a decisive battle out of the city. The latter did not agree immediately after receiving the gauntlet. After discussing with Sigurd and Eisner, he finally decided to agree to the gauntlet issued by the enemy.

They didn't make a foolish decision. Although facing a large number of enemy troops, defending the city is a way to take advantage of long-range firepower to reduce losses, but two brigades guarding a small stronghold cannot fully deploy their firepower, and the artillery It is also unusable. The temporarily built stronghold city wall cannot place artillery at all. Even if it is placed on it, it will collapse due to the recoil when the artillery is fired.

Therefore, they decided to go out of the city to fight, line up the army, spread out the firepower as much as possible, and deploy the artillery in the right position to shoot at the enemy during the battle to provide fire support for the infantry; Galloping on the vast yellow sand, exerting the greatest combat effectiveness.

Although the army of the Holy Roman Empire basically canceled the establishment of heavy cavalry except for the Praetorian Guard, this does not mean that the cavalry is useless. In fact, even in the history of the earth, the cavalry has to wait for the second time to truly withdraw from the battlefield. After the extensive use of tanks during the World War.
