Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 167: 3 Kings Battle (Heavy Cavalry Charge)

"Archer, shoot!"

After the enemy entered the range, the archers and crossbowmen of Richard’s army filled the ammunition one after another, and then sent the arrows and crossbows into the air under the command of the officers, and the rain of arrows that covered the sky like a dark cloud passed through the air. Then he fell into the coalition formation in the charge and shot over the large tracts of coalition soldiers.

The swooshing sound of arrows and crossbows flying past, as well as the tinkling sound of its collision with the shield, was heard constantly in the air, among which the screams of people after being shot can be heard from time to time. No one knows how long the shields held above their heads can last in this rain of arrows falling densely. Many people’s shields are already filled with dense arrows, and some people’s shields are even pierced by arrows, holding the shield. His hands were nailed to death, blood was dripping, and half of his body was stained red.

The coalition archers quickly launched a counterattack, but their numbers were at a disadvantage, and the arrows they shot were basically blocked by the shields of the melee infantry standing in front of the Richard Archers. Except for a few unlucky ones who were shot, there was no more. casualties.

Soon, the Allied infantry rushed ten meters away from the Richard's defense line, and they could even see the enemy's appearance through the gap between the shields-however, at this moment, Richard's defense line stood up in a row. Soldiers with sophisticated half-length armor and long-barreled weapons pointed their weapons at the enemy in the charge. The next moment, they only listened to a series of bean-like gunshots. The smoke of gunpowder immediately filled the front of Richard's line of defense, and after the gunshots, Several of the coalition infantry rushing forward fell down, and the soldiers behind had no time to think, so they passed the dead bodies of their comrades and collided head-on!

bump!

The moment the shield collided with the shield, the entire Richards line of defense was shocked. The spearmen who formed the line of defense were desperately holding the shields, and the soldiers in the back row also used their shields against the backs of their comrades in front of them. Jin's hind feet made a deep footprint on the ground.

In the violent impact, many spear militiamen were knocked to the ground by coalition soldiers. Before they were struggling to get up, the deadly sword pierced into their bodies, leaving them no chance to get up again. There were also some soldiers who quickly pressed down at the moment of the collision. The shield was held up against the attacking enemy. The latter was directly lifted and fell heavily into Richard's army. In the next second, countless spears were in his Blood holes were pierced on his body, and the blood mixed with broken pieces of flesh flowing out, staining the ground beneath him.

After surviving the violent impact, Richard’s soldiers quickly stood firm and fired back at the enemy. The dense phalanx allowed the spearmen to exert their maximum combat effectiveness. The soldiers in the front row used shields to resist the enemy’s hacking. The second row of soldiers took the opportunity to pierce the enemy's body with spears. Every time a spear stabbed, it seemed to be able to take the life of an enemy. The blood stained the plain red, and the flowing blood gathered together to form a blood-colored river.

On the dark battlefield, the infantry fell into the most tragic fight. Archers from both sides fired at each other at this time. The dominant Richard’s archers shot rounds of arrows covering the sky and covered the position of the coalition archers. The unarmored coalition archers soon suffered heavy losses. A coalition archer saw with his own eyes that the comrade standing in front of him was hit by an arrow, and the whole arrow fell directly into his eye socket, leaving only the back half of the wings still trembling slightly outside. The comrade-in-arms did not even struggle, the whole person fell down suddenly, the fallen corpse was still twitching slightly, and the blood had already stained his face.

Soon, the coalition archers collapsed.

The two kings, Bandak and Jutian, on the battlefield, ignored the collapsed archers behind them. They focused their attention on the battlefield in front of them. As long as they could tear the line of Richard's defense, they could successfully break through and leave. This **** place.

However, in the next second, the slightly trembling ground changed their complexion, and also the complexion of the coalition veterans in the battlefield. The experienced them knew very well that this movement was clearly caused by the movement of the cavalry brigade running at the same time!

Sure enough, in the horrified eyes of the coalition soldiers, more than a thousand imperial heavy cavalry led by Sir Frank and two thousand dedicated cavalry led by Gaskell appeared on the flanks of the battlefield. A flood of black and yellow cavalry swarmed, they shouted. , Roaring, flanking the allied infantry in battle from two directions!

"It's Richard's cavalry!"

"Damn, we are surrounded!"

"The magic deer! The traitor Gaskell actually fought us with the enemy!"

Although very angry at Gaskell’s shameful betrayal, the coalition soldiers were helpless. They found desperately that Richard’s two cavalry battalions had surrounded them. As long as the other charged, they would be wiped out in the fierce cavalry charge. !

"Array! Array! Defend the enemy cavalry!"

In the screaming cry of the officer, the outermost coalition infantry hurriedly turned around and listed a tight shield wall in the direction of the enemy cavalry. They looked at the running cavalry with pale faces, trembling legs, and big drops. Beads of sweat flowed down his face.

Rumble--

The cavalry of the brigade swept across the plain like a black wave. In the desperate gaze of the coalition infantry, they put down their lances at a distance of 100 meters from the coalition army~lightnovelpub.net~ shouted slogans in unison, and urged the horses at the same time. , Increase the speed to the highest, launch the most violent charge to the infantry!

"Charge! The empire will win!"

The black wave hit the phalanx of coalition infantry head-on with turbulent waves. In the next second, people turned their backs on their horses and their shields were destroyed and killed. , Falling on the ground a few meters away, their chests sunken, seeing that they can't live long. More soldiers were trampled under the hooves of the war horses, trampled in an uncomfortable way. Their defense line composed of flesh and blood did not block the charge of the Richard Cavalry. After breaking through the thin temporary defense line, the Imperial heavy cavalry commander Frank The cavalry squadron led by the Jazz and surrender general Gaskell galloped all the way into the coalition army.

Any coalition soldiers who dared to stand in the way of the Richard’s cavalry charge were slaughtered frantically, with their stumps and arms flying in the air, and crimson blood sprinkled on everyone, dyeing these terrifying knights into blood, as if from hell. Devil knight coming out!

In the bloodthirsty killings and charges of the cavalry of the brigade, the coalition forces fell apart and their morale collapsed. They turned around and fled back, ignoring the enemies close at hand, and even discarded weapons and shields in order to reduce the burden on the way to escape, or even directly. He took off his armor and threw it on the ground and trampled on it at will. There was no glory at all.

Under the circumstances of this defeat, the two kings of Bandak and Jutian were extremely desperate. They met and then led the guards to charge against the madly slaying heavy cavalry of the Empire, intending to use their personal participation in the battle. The morale of the rout soldiers re-fighting, but this has no effect. The coalition soldiers who were completely defeated by the Richard Cavalry fled like headless flies, regardless of the surrounding situation...
