Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 194: Victory without suspense

"charge!"

"Crush them! The empire will win!"

Shouting a terrifying roar, the Danish cavalry slammed into the close phalanx of anti-cavalry formed by the Cunha Legion infantry. The heavy cavalry chivalrous knight rushing in the forefront like a sharp sword pierced into the flank of the Cunha Legion. The next moment, the shield was destroyed and killed. Many Cunha soldiers were knocked over and flew, followed by terrible screams. However, the bodies of the soldiers were trampled on by war horses, and they almost blended with the earth and became fertilizer for the growth of this land!

The chivalrous knights, all armored, shredded the flanks of the Cunha Legion without any obstacles. Then, under the leadership of the cavalry commander Arest, they galloped all the way, hacking up and down with swords, and the Cunha soldiers along the way were killed. The slaughter was frantic, the stumps and arms flew around in the air, and the blood was splashed on each soldier's body like money, dyeing their armor red.

Under the violent charge of the Danish cavalry, the flanks of the Cunha Legion fell apart in an instant. The soldiers screamed and fled. They threw weapons and shields on the ground to escape faster, but they still felt that they were not enough, so they ran away. Taking off their armor on the way, this almost "streaking" image stunned the Danish soldiers who took the initiative to pursue them. They could only look at their escape and sigh.

After the flank collapsed, the infantry of the Cunha Legion who were still fighting the enemy were all affected. They heard the screams and shouts of the friendly wolf rushing to their ears. The determination to resist in their hearts also began to waver, but they were still there. The generals in the army quickly stabilized their shaken military spirit. They drew out their weapons and shouted loudly, and led the guards to rush towards the enemy personally, intending to use their own hands to motivate their subordinates-it turns out that they succeeded, but what's the use? NS?

On the flanks, after chasing the fleeing Cunha Legion infantry out of the battle line, the Danish soldiers who pursued turned around, led by the cavalry brigade led by Arest, rushed to the fierce Cunia Legion, and flanked them from the flanks. These poor worms abandoned by friendly forces.

The cavalry was defeated, and the flanks collapsed. The Cunha regiment commander Somjet at the center of the army wanted to turn the tide, but he was obviously unable to succeed. Looking around, he was dressed in black and yellow uniforms. The Winster soldiers, they have been completely surrounded!

"Damn, we lost this battle." Somjet said desperately. He looked at the Illusion Deer flag held high by the flag officer beside him, and he couldn't help but remember that he was with the other nine generals after the Illusion Deer flag was captured. How will the country be spurned...

...

The news of Somjet's defeat quickly spread back to Plangue, the capital of the Republic of Cunha. Upon hearing such bad news, the whole city was immersed in shock and anxiety. The regiment led by Somjet is all the standing army of the Republic. Once defeated, they can only initiate a war mobilization order to mobilize citizens to bring equipment to join the army to jointly defend the motherland.

In the Great House of Plangue, the impeachment against the noble governor was also being conspired. Somjet was defeated and captured, causing the sacred magic deer flag to fall into the hands of the enemy country. This allowed Roger, the noble governor of the same family as him. Christian has also been affected. It is ridiculous that those parliamentarians sitting on the parliamentary seats have to fight for power in such a crisis.

Not to mention the process of the parliament held at the Planguet Congress. After the parliament was over, the Mauritian messengers rushed out of the city and ran in all directions along the wide stone avenue. Their mission was to seek for the Republic. Resist Richard's reinforcements.

Richard didn’t know all of this. He just led the First Army out of Nord City and received the good news from Earl Charles at the first time. He was very happy, and then wrote a letter that not only praised him. After the results of Charles and his Second Legion, he was also ordered to continue to advance as far as possible over the Cunha towns.

Richard knew that at this time the official war between the two countries had just broken out, and the Cunians were still fighting his army alone. As time goes by, the allies of the Cunians will definitely send reinforcements, and by then, it will change. Cheng Richard was alone against the huge coalition of the Cunhas.

Is he scared? Obviously he is not afraid. Since he came to this world, Richard has fought several waves of coalition forces. For him, this war is just a foreshadowing of another victory in his military career.

...

On the other side, the Earl Charles, who was ordered by Richard, ordered the entire army to march towards the town of Cunha nearest to the border. Before proceeding, he left enough manpower to guard the prisoners captured in the previous war. The number of prisoners of war is not a small number. Among them are more than 1,800 ordinary soldiers and six high-ranking generals, including commander-in-chief Somjet Christian. After the war is over, they will be a big bargaining chip in the negotiation.

For the invasion of the Charles Army, the towns and cities of Cunha near the border were already prepared. They moved village residents and supplies into the city as much as possible, and mobilized a large number of militias in an attempt to rely on the walls to dispel the Winsters. The intention to siege the city ~lightnovelpub.net~ However, the imagination is beautiful and the reality is cruel. Charles, who has 28 trebuchets of all kinds, does not need to attack the city wall. He can bombard the city wall with heavy weapons at a long distance to attack the defense. The morale of the soldiers waited for the collapse of the city wall, and then ordered the soldiers to swarm up and attack the city wall to end the battle.

"Tell your commander, for the sake of the residents of this town, open the gates and give up resistance. The surrender can still be treated kindly and generously. If we continue to resist, we will razing this town to the ground!"

Before the attack on the city, Charles sent an emissary to persuade him to surrender. His move was not only to persuade the surrender, but also to tell the residents of the city that he had given a chance but was refused, so what will happen after the city is broken He can't care about things.

Of course, it is impossible for the commander of the defending army to surrender. Not only did he not surrender, but he also mobilized a large number of militias to prepare for street fighting with the invaders. The focus of the battle was on the cruel street fighting.

Then, the siege war started in such a scene without any suspense.

Although it was only attacking a small town, the tactics did not change. Under the watchful eyes of the Danish soldiers lined up in an orderly formation, 28 trebuchets took turns to throw huge stones and heavy stones at the town. The block whizzed through the air, fell into the town, pierced the city wall, and killed the defenders. In order to improve efficiency, thousands of archers also stepped forward and tilted their arrows towards the town under the protection of Nordic swordsmen. The rain of arrows continued to be thrown from outside the city into the city, and the screams and groans of human pain echoed over the town.

After the city wall could not withstand the ravages of the catapult and collapsed, the Norse swordsmen and sword spear militias lined up in a neat array, under the cover of their archers, poured into the gap in the city...
