Rise of the Empire Total War

"Have the native allied forces withdrew?"

"Reporter, sir, they are all evacuated, our people have seen it with their own eyes."

In the camp of the Holy Roman Empire Expeditionary Force, Trond heard the words of the scout captain in front of him, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

The sudden retreat of the indigenous coalition forces was beyond his expectation, because they did not inflict heavy casualties on the opponent in the first battle of Bocantu, and only shelling and the first round of volleys defeated the offensive of the indigenous people, making them retreat in fear. According to statistics after the war, it only caused more than 2,000 casualties to the enemy.

Withdrawing the army after more than 2,000 people died is really not in line with the character of the indigenous people. According to the records of the indigenous people that Trond obtained from the books, they are brave and fierce. Normally speaking, Trond Give them that kind of casualty and they'll come back after a short repair to give the expeditionary force even more vengeance.

However, this time they left a pile of corpses and retreated for the first time. There must be monsters in the abnormality. It is difficult for Trond to not be suspicious.

The second brigade commander Eisner was also puzzled by this, he stood beside Trond, and after the scout captain left, he took a step closer to his superior and asked, "Sir, what should we do next? "

"Let me think about it." Trond shook his head and said softly. He frowned and rested his chin on one hand, as if he was lost in thought. Seeing him like this, Asnell didn't dare to interrupt him He closed his mouth and looked down at the military map scribbled on the desktop.

After a long time, Trond put down his hand resting on his cheek. He looked at Eisnell and caught a glimpse of the military map that the latter was looking at out of the corner of his eye. He was more sure of his thoughts and said, "General Reard, Order the soldiers to pack their bags, we leave here tomorrow."

"What?" Eisner looked confused, and he looked up at Trond, trying to get the answer he wanted from the other's face.

"Where do you want the army to go?" he asked again.

"Go to Begowo City." Trond said with a posture that could not be violated. He pointed to the location of Begowo City marked with red dots on the scribbled military map, and said: "Our scouts are looking at the enemy. It is moving south, and Begowo City is to the west of us, so we can judge that the main force of the enemy is not going to Begowo City. Although we don’t know what their purpose is, we should take advantage of this time to attack Begowo. This strange continent has firmly established itself."

After listening to Trond's explanation, although Eisnell still thought it was a bit risky because they didn't know the city's defense force in Begowo City, he still agreed with his decision and turned around to announce the order.

After the order to march was issued,

The soldiers moved quickly, packed up their personal belongings, and stuffed the rucksacks in the camp. At the same time, considering that the yellow sand soil was relatively soft, carriages and the like might not be suitable for use, so they gave each The soldiers distributed enough supplies, and the rest were brought back to the ship through the makeshift port.

Because not many native prisoners of war were captured, the hard work of transporting supplies was still undertaken by the white slaves accompanying the army. If there is a mistake, the supervisor will usher in the merciless whipping.

...

the next day.

Considering that it is faster to go by sea, Trond and Sigurd discussed it, and finally decided to board the ship and head west along the coastline. Thanks to the sunny days these days, and Zane Continent The sea along the coast was calm, so it took only a little more than a day for the fleet to reach the waters near the city of Begowo. The sailors who climbed the poles of the boat could even vaguely see the black spots on the land that represented the city.

After entering the nearby waters, the fleet did not go directly to Begowo City, but landed on the coast and put down most of the troops and artillery. Trond personally led the team. He led the army straight to Begowo City. Before they got close, the army was spotted by the sentries on the city wall. Although they didn't know which force it was from, Begowo City sounded the warning immediately The bell rang, and the alarm bell rang loudly for a while, and the whole city boiled up.

When the expeditionary army went out of the range of the city wall defenders to form an array, the city wall was already full of soldiers, each of them holding a crossbow or javelin, watching the approaching strange army vigilantly, waiting for the formation.

Seeing this, Trond didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered the artillery to be deployed. After more than ten minutes, dozens of artillery were aimed at the city wall. The sun shone down and reflected a dazzling light on the muzzle.

The soldiers on the city wall didn't know what this strange-looking weapon was. Most of them were poor people who were forced to leave their homes and flee here because they couldn't survive in their native land. The Holy Roman Empire was formed by the Kingdom of Winster.

Although their commanders had heard a little about the sharp firearms of the Holy Roman Empire, they didn't pay much attention to them, which caused the tragedy of Begovo City.

"fire!"

Amidst the shrill roar, dozens of cannons were ignited and their fuses were ignited. A few seconds later, the deafening cannons resounded outside the city of Begowo, and the black shells hit the city wall overwhelmingly. At the same time, the artillery shells hit the surface of the city wall heavily, or flew over the city wall and fell into the urban area. The soldiers on the city wall only felt an earth-shaking shock coming from under their feet, and the city wall, which was impenetrable to the natives, collapsed, burying the soldiers above it.

The sound of the shelling on land seemed to be an agreed signal. When the sound of the shelling reached the sea, the expeditionary fleet, which had already been prepared, marched mightily towards the port of Begowo. At this time, the city was already in shock from the shelling. Among them, no one cared about the fleet gradually approaching on the sea, and by the time someone noticed it, it was already too late.

Because, the Hawker gunboat of the First Fleet is turning its side towards the port, pushing the artillery into the gun position.

Boom boom boom——

The sound of cannons roaring like a devil sounded from the sea, and countless shells roared into the city, devastating the bustling port. The merchant ships moored in the port were also affected, and shocking big holes appeared in the hull of the ship one after another. , the waves of sea water flowed down the hole, and soon the merchant ship sank into the sea.

The sea outside the city was shelled from both sides, and the whole city was plunged into irreparable chaos. On the sea, after several rounds of bombardment, the transport ship sailed into the port under the cover of the Hawker gunboat, docked on the shore, put down the long wooden planks and put them on the ground, and then a group of heavily armed line infantry landed along the plank Port, after a simple array, advance to the depths of the port.

A few hours later, the city finally fell into the hands of the expeditionary force as the Governor's Palace hoisted the yellow-backed black double-headed eagle flag of the Holy Roman Empire.
