Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 193: Fight

"Array! Array! Pike phalanx!"

Facing the charge of the army of the Republic of Cunha, the Nordic swordsmen and militiamen on the front line were not afraid.

As the officers shouted loudly, the militiamen with swords and spears holding three-meter long swords and spears stood tightly together. The soldiers in the front row squatted on the ground, the swords and spears were raised in clusters, and the soldiers in the second and third rows held their swords. The spear was raised flat and aimed at the enemy in the charge. The next few rows were standing steadily, raising the weapon diagonally upwards, shaking to knock out the stream arrow.

"Ready to fight!"

"Crossbowman, shoot!"

Just as the Cunians rushed to a place less than ten meters away, from behind the Nordic swordsmen and the militiamen with swords and spears appeared crossbowmen armed with crossbows. They looked expressionlessly at the enemy in the charge, and they could even see from this distance. The color of their pupils, and in the next second, the trigger was pulled, and only a buzzing air vibrated. The deadly crossbow machine swept the Kunia army at close range like a squally storm, sweeping most of it in an instant.

The crossbow arrows with its own armor-breaking effect can easily penetrate the shields held by the Cunhas at close range and shoot the soldiers hiding behind the shields. It is for this reason that Charles will deploy the retired crossbowmen here. May use their advantages.

Facts have proved that he succeeded.

The Cunha soldiers in the charge only felt the light in front of them. All the soldiers in the front row fell with arrows. Before the soldiers behind could react, they ran into the sharp swords and spears head-on. The armors on their bodies instantly Torn by the sword and spear, the body was penetrated, the blood-stained sword and spear pierced from the back, and broken pieces of meat can be seen on it!

"attack!"

In the second after the two armies collided, the officer's stern roar sounded from within the sword and spear militia defense line. Then, the soldiers in the back slashed at the head of the enemy fighting the friendly army in the front row, and the sword and spear directly broke through the enemy. The helmet's defense, tore its head completely apart. As a military unit that can be used in the middle of the Kingdom of Denmark, the swords and spears they are equipped with are very fierce. Its three-meter-long body enables it to form a long spear formation to defend against the enemy and assassinate the enemy at a long distance. Unlike ordinary long spears, it has The sharp blade can also be used for chopping like a battle axe, which is very in line with the Danish rugged tactics.

Facing the unprecedented weapon like the sword and spear, the Cunha soldiers seemed to be in a hurry. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief after defending the point of the sword pierced by the enemy in front of them, the sharp blade was chopped off from the top of their head... …

Compared with the militia with swords and spears, the tactics of the Nordic swordsmen equipped with bucklers and long swords are normal, but they can still rely on their ethnic advantages (high stature and great strength) to suppress Cooney who is fighting with them. Runner-up infantry.

puff! The sharp sword pierced the throat of the Cunha Legion infantryman, and the blood poured out like a fountain. The Nordic swordsman holding the sword didn’t care about the blood splashed on him. He then drew his weapon and kicked it. The enemy who was holding his throat kicked and fell. Just at this moment, a spear stabbed from the oblique side. He dodged flexibly, and the buckler in his left hand hit the attacker's face door heavily, hearing only one sound. With a dull painful grunt, the assailant’s front teeth and bridge of nose were broken, and he had to take a few steps back with his face in pain. The Nordic swordsman did not give him a chance, and the long sword pierced again and pierced directly into his chest. , Shattered the beating heart.

At the same time, the battle between the cavalry of the two armies gradually began. Under the order of Somjet, the commander of the Republic of Cunha, General Albert, one of the ten generals, personally led the entire army of cavalry to move to the flank of the Winsters, but soon they were taken by the Second Army. The Danish cavalry led by the cavalry commander Arest intercepted, and the battlefield between the cavalry began on a small plain far away from the infantry battlefield!

"Charge! Charge! Let the Kunia see the power of the Danish cavalry!"

Arest raised his lance and roared at the cavalry around him. By his side, he was the only heavy cavalry unit in the Danish army—the chivalrous knight!

In addition to the chivalrous knights, there are also the Nordic Tomahawk cavalry who accompanied Richard for the longest time. These Nordic cavalry equipped with terrifying Tomahawks fought fiercely, venting the roar in their hearts. They longed for blood and longed to send their enemies to hell. !

"Charge! For the Empire! For Your Majesty Caesar!"

In Arest’s screaming roar, more than three hundred celebrity knights, all in armor, lined up in six huge conical formations, rushing towards the Cunha cavalry who also launched the charge, and they coincided with each other in the charge. Lay the lance flat, tuck it under the armpit, shouting to collide head-on with the enemy!

In the next second, I only felt the ground shake, the horses turned on their backs, and the horses stumbled. Numerous Cunia cavalrymen were pierced through their bodies, fell heavily, and were trampled by the horses that rushed up. They were dressed in full steel armor. The chivalrous knight was unscathed. At the moment when the two sides crossed, he gave up the apple wood lance that was broken by the powerful impact, pulled out the knight's long sword at his waist, struggling to chop left and right, and slashed the enemy under the horse!

The huge conical formation of chivalrous knights tears apart the formation of the Cunha cavalry like scissors tearing paper~lightnovelpub.net~. Behind the chivalrous knights, there are hundreds of battleaxes wielding axes and fighting fiercely. The Nordic cavalry, they issued a terrifying roar, and fought fiercely with the torn formation of the Kunia cavalry.

Perhaps the number of Winster cavalry is less than that of the Cunha, but in terms of quality, the former is far superior. When the chivalrous knights were fighting with the Nordic Tomahawk cavalry, on the outskirts of the cavalry battlefield, hundreds of crossbow cavalry equipped with small cavalry crossbows unscrupulously shot and killed the Kunia cavalry in their sight. People hate that the crossbow arrows they shoot can kill the Cunha cavalry at long distances, but the Cunja cavalry has nothing to do except defending with a shield. It turns out that they cannot ride an already tired horse to catch up with the energetic crossbow cavalry. , Can only be flying kites endlessly until he dies.

Finally, as General Albert, who commanded the Cunha cavalry, was chopped off by the Nordic Tomahawk cavalry with an axe, the Cunha cavalry, who was already at a disadvantage in close combat, began to defeat. The fighting infantry comrades fled in other directions. Regardless of the group of frightened losers, Aleist pointed his long sword, and the knight under his command turned his horse's head and rushed towards the infantry battlefield in the fierce battle.

The movement of hundreds of cavalry running at the same time quickly attracted the attention of the infantry of the Cunha Legion. They looked suspiciously to the flanks. After seeing which side the cavalry came, their faces instantly turned pale. How could they not guess? What does this mean-if it weren't for the defeat of the own cavalry, how could Winster's cavalry appear on the flanks?

"Array! Array! Cavalry is coming!"

The shouts rang one after another from the flanks of the Cunha Legion. Amidst the roar of the officers, the Cunha soldiers hurriedly formed a tight shield array and looked at the Winster Cavalry closer and closer in horror, preparing to meet the most terrible. The charge!
