Rise of the Empire Total War

"This is the first time that the Farnics have confronted the cavalry. The devastating offensive of the heavy cavalry from Cuban Island nearly collapsed the Ingiald army. The heavy cavalry are like demons from hell. left an indelible impression in my heart. ——"History of the Kingdom of Farnik"

...

"attack!"

On the Diasd Plain, a decisive battle is imminent.

Accompanied by Richard's loud roar, more than a hundred cavalry marched forward slowly, their steps were uniform, and the bursts of murderous aura drove the Farnic noble rebels away.

Facing such terrifying monsters and murderous aura, the noble rebel army began to be in chaos, and the light infantry standing at the forefront showed faint signs of retreating. Compared with the militia and standing army behind them, these "cannon fodder" conscripted from the farmland Morale was even worse. If he wasn't afraid of being held accountable by the noble lord, he might have just run away.

"what is that?"

"They have four legs, they are tall, and they hold weapons that we have never seen before..."

"Mother of the Seven Hundred Gods bless you, what kind of enemy are we facing!"

"..."

The Kuban cavalry is getting closer, and the chaos in the rebel army is increasing. Listening to the whispers of the soldiers under his command, the rebel commander Turgall Inguiard looked gloomy and looked at the advancing army. The enemy's eyes were full of fear.

"What the hell is that? Why did the enemy ride on that creature?" He was full of doubts, but he couldn't get an answer. Unlike others, he is not afraid of the creature under the enemy's crotch. The only thing he cares about is why the enemy rides on that creature.

And what happened next had an instant impact on his worldview!

"Speed ​​up and prepare to charge!"

The wide plain allowed the cavalry to accelerate in a short period of time. When the cavalry was about 200 meters away from the front of the noble rebel army, the horses were urged by the knights to speed up and gradually entered the charging state. The momentum of hundreds of cavalry running at the same time made the ground tremble, and the smoke and dust almost enveloped them.

Facing the running of the Cuban cavalry, the light infantry standing in front of the formation finally couldn't bear the pressure in their hearts and fled backward one after another. Although they didn't know what creature they were facing, even a fool could understand the momentum What happens after contact with the enemy.

"charge!"

"Riding the gun flat!"

"Glory is my life!"

Accompanied by the roar of the knights in unison, more than a hundred cavalrymen ran into the army formation of the noble rebels head-on. When he was trampled on savagely, his body and armor were huddled together, making him look ugly. The deadly lance pierced the body of the rebel soldier with great force, and then the lance itself could not bear the pressure and burst open. The knights on the horse calmly abandoned the damaged lance and pulled out the lance hanging on the horse. The knight's long sword swung wantonly in the crowd.

The loose rebel formation couldn't stop Richard's heavy cavalry's overwhelming charge. Before many frightened soldiers even had time to scream, they were knocked down by the armored heavy cavalry and trampled cruelly and bloodily.

At the scene, wailing sounded together. Soldiers with blood on their faces fled in all directions. They either dropped their weapons and shields and ran barefoot. On the entire front, although Richard's cavalry was small in number, they were still able to give the rebel infantry the most violent offensive, as if a hot knife had been cut through butter, easily cutting through the rebel formation.

Many soldiers of the noble rebels were beheaded by Richard's heavy cavalry knight's long sword before they even had time to fight back, and blood gushed out from their heads instantly. There are even more soldiers who were split from the chest by the Nordic battleaxe cavalry following the heavy cavalry wielding their battle axes, and the shattered organ fragments mixed with blood and stained everything around them red.

While Richard's heavy cavalry was showing off,

The infantry of the Royal Army was also led by Hubbard, the military chief of the Kingdom of Farnik, to charge the fragmented noble rebel formation. The rebel infantry, whose psychological defense line was defeated by the heavy cavalry, almost collapsed after fighting with the soldiers of the Royal Army. Screaming and fleeing all the way, running frantically... They discarded their shields and javelin spears, as well as their dignity and glory as soldiers, exposing their most vulnerable backs to the enemy's attack range.

As the commander of the army, Inguiard watched his army collapse like a pile of sand washed by a flood with a pale face. His heart was filled with endless despair. Now he finally understood the role of the creatures under the enemy's crotch , but has done whatever it wants.

"Master Yaer, please retreat with us!"

The chaotic defeated army rushed to the position of the coach in a panic. The guards defending Ingiard shouted tremblingly. The nobles standing behind them were also pale, and asked Ingiard to order a retreat. .

Although they didn't have to obey Ingiard's orders, their noble qualities prevented them from abandoning Ingiard, who was respected as the commander, and fled first.

"Retreat, retreat."

Although Inguiard was unwilling, he knew that now was not the time for him to mess around, because right in his sight, a group of enemies riding unknown creatures and wielding battle axes rushed towards his position. come over!

"Retreat! Retreat!"

After the order to retreat was issued, the entire noble rebel army formation collapsed instantly, and it was no longer possible to organize an effective resistance. The soldiers of the Kingdom Army chased and killed the enemy amidst cheers. They were like wolves rushing into a flock of sheep, like wild wolves rushing into a flock of sheep.

...

The victory of the Diazd Plain was quickly reported back to the city of Aosta. Faced with this unprecedented victory, the entire city was shocked—you know, even the army led by the dead Wood Keane None of the victories failed to defeat the enemy with a small number of casualties.

In the battle on the Diazd Plain, the Royal Army suffered very little loss, only two feudal knights and more than a dozen hastily recruited militiamen were killed. On the other hand, the rebels suffered heavy losses under the destructive charge of Richard's heavy cavalry and the offensive of the infantry. More than 800 soldiers were killed and more than 400 were captured.

If those rout soldiers who would get lost with the main force in the big rout were excluded, there should be more than a thousand battle-ready soldiers that Ingiard could muster.

And these more than a thousand soldiers have left an indelible fear of Richard's heavy cavalry in their hearts. In the next battle, I am afraid that when they see Richard's heavy cavalry, they will tremble all over, unconsciously. Recalling the fear of being dominated by Richard's heavy cavalry.
