Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 192: Frontier First Battle

A plain somewhere on the border between the Kingdom of Winster and the Republic of Cunha.

The spring was warmly shining on the earth, and under the shining of the sun, the flags of the army of the Kingdom of Winster were hunting, and countless people's armors and weapons reflected dazzling cold light.

Corresponding to this black and yellow army formation is the garrison fortress of the Republic of Cunha whose main tone is white and green opposite them. Facing the sudden attack of the Kingdom of Winster, the fortress became chaotic and the soldiers hurriedly put on it. Armor, took up the weapon, ran to their post on the fence, and looked nervously at the enemy outside.

They have reason to be nervous, because their army has only more than 5,000 people, and the enemy standing on the plain outside has nearly 10,000 elite soldiers, and even 28 terrifying trebuchets.

Somjet Christian, the commander-in-chief of the Republic of Cunha, came quickly after hearing the news. He stood on the wall and looked at the huge enemy army outside. His complexion was dignified. Next to him were the other nine generals of the legion. These nine generals and Somjet together form the Council of Ten Generals, which decides on the army's combat orders (of course, Somjet is still the supreme commander of the army, and the nine generals are considered lieutenants).

The Council of Ten Generals is not a special product of the Republic of Cunha. In fact, this so-called democratic product comes from the Ossa Peninsula across the sea from the Vadasiya Peninsula and is used by many city-states on the Ossa Peninsula. The Republic of Cunha Just learn from the former.

"General Somjet, I don't think it is a wise choice to stay in the fortress." A general in the Council of Ten Generals was equally solemn and said.

"Yes, the Winsters have terrifying trebuchets. We stay in the fortress and we can only be passively beaten. It's better to attack and fight." Another person agreed.

Hearing what they said, Somjet shook his head and said, "As you can see, the number of enemy troops far exceeds us. Most of them are even elite veterans who fought with Richard in the North and South. Looking back at us. The soldiers of China have not participated in many large-scale wars. The most common thing they face is the domestic gangsters. How can they beat each other?"

"I know your worries very well, but staying in the fortress is also not a wise move." The general who spoke at the beginning continued: "The enemy's trebuchet can easily destroy our walls and attack the morale of our soldiers. By then, Not only did our army lose the wall that it could hold on, but its morale was far lower than that of the enemy, making it even more difficult to defeat the enemy."

"I still don't agree to leave the safer fortress and fight with the enemy, General Pavlos." Somjet still insisted on his tactics and had no plans to change it.

"In that case, let the Council of Ten Generals vote. I believe that the generals can choose the most suitable tactics." The general named Pavlos proposed. His proposal was subsequently approved by others, so Som Jeter could only reluctantly agree.

"Generals, please agree to take the initiative and vote by show of hands against the Winsters."

Somjet just finished speaking, six people except him raised their hands, looking at the six generals, Somjet was a little dumbfounded.

Seeing the other five generals supporting him, Pavlos raised his mouth slightly and said: "General Somjet, there are six generals who agree to take the initiative to attack, please give your order."

Now, Somjet has no choice but to order the whole army to attack. Although he is the highest commander of the whole army, he can only succumb to the result of the election of the ten general assembly due to the laws of the Republic. .

"You will harm the entire legion." He didn't say this sentence. He knew that if he said it, he would completely offend the six generals. No matter what the handle is caught, his family will be attacked politically.

Woo-

With the dull horn sounded in the garrison fortress, the heavily armed Cunha soldiers stepped out of the gate in an orderly manner and walked to the unnamed plain outside. Each of them is dissatisfied with the command given by the commander, and the number of enemies is obviously higher than that of their own. So leaving the safe fortress and the enemy's field unpreparedly, isn't it looking for death?

Riding on the back of his favorite horse, Charles, the commander-in-chief of Winster’s army, was very happy to see this happening. Although the army was equipped with 28 trebuchets, the difficulty of attacking the fortress was greatly reduced, but he still liked to come upright. In a field battle, using strength to crush the enemy head-on, this is in line with his character as a Nordic.

"Order the catapult and the siege scale to prepare, and shoot freely after taking the enemy into the range!"

"The general has an order, the catapult and the siege scale can shoot freely!"

After Charles passed the order to the messenger next to him, the messenger immediately opened his throat and screamed up to the sky. His shout broke through the clouds and echoed over the entire army of the Kingdom of Winster.

"Measure the range and prepare to load ammunition!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up, you **** pig!"

After receiving the order, the officers' roars and rants soon sounded on the trebuchet position. Under the officers' rants, the soldiers adjusted the trebuchet at the fastest speed. After the calibration was completed, several of the trebuchets were naked, revealing their explosive muscles. Soldiers from slid together to lift the heavy stones into the skin bag at the end of the throwing arm. Then, one soldier scooped up a spoonful of kerosene and poured it on the stones, while the other soldier lit the stones with a torch. The next second , The mechanism was activated, and the burning stones were thrown into the sky.

What a frightening scene! I saw in the clear sky, UU reading www.uukanshu. com. Twenty or so burning fireballs dragged the black tail flames across the sky, whizzing towards the moving army of Cunha, and within a few seconds, the fireballs fell into the tight crowd. In the middle, the soldiers at the landing point instantly disappeared, while the surrounding soldiers were engulfed by flames, uttering miserable screams.

"shooting!"

boom!

The second round of fireballs struck again. With the first round of shooting as the standard, the fireballs in this round were more accurate. Most of them fell into the crowd. Countless soldiers were crushed by the fireballs without a trace, and the deadly flames burned. The body of the Cunha soldiers made them scream and scurry around frantically. The flames on them were like the tentacles of the devil, entwining and devouring life.

Facing the trebuchet attack of the Kingdom of Winster, the Cunians accelerated their speed and quickly entered the range of the archer. The moment the enemy entered the range, the archers and crossbows stood in front of the melee infantry. Soldiers raised their bows and crossbows and fired at the officer’s reprimand. A round of black arrows rose from the Winster’s army, and after crossing a beautiful arc in the air, they fell into the running Cunha. The Legion, but most of them were blocked by the shields they held high, falling on the shields and making clanging noises, then bounced off and fell to the ground, being broken by the feet wearing combat boots.

After the Winster archers shot, the Kunia archers immediately launched a counterattack. The arrows they shot hit the Winster archers' formation like a squally storm, and soon let civilians without armor defend their bows. The hand and the Nordic archers suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw into the line of defense composed of Nordic swordsmen and militias with swords and spears.

And at this moment, the infantry of the Republic of Cunha and advanced to a distance of less than fifty meters from the Vinster line of defense!

A **** battle started slowly!
