Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 231: 1 Katsuo royal capital

"This explosion awakened the world and made the gunpowder weapons of the Kingdom of Winster be valued by the world for the first time (before that they were just curious, thinking it was just a more powerful long-range weapon like a crossbow machine), command The commander of this battle, King Richard Stuart himself, has since been called "Thunderstorm""-"War History in Vadasia-Gunpowder"

...

The power of a dozen explosive bags detonated at the same time caused the city wall of Tus to collapse, and it also brought up smoke and dust. The soldiers standing on the wall were blown up to the sky, or buried in the ruins, and Those soldiers deployed nearby were crushed by the shock wave of the explosion, their internal organs were all shattered, their seven orifices were bleeding, and their deaths were extremely miserable.

In addition, the explosion caused the world to tremble violently, and some buildings in disrepair in the city collapsed as a result. The civilians hiding inside were submerged in ruins with screams, and the whole city seemed like the end of the day! "The messenger, sound the offensive horn, and the whole army enters the city along the ruins!"

Richard drew out his sword and shouted at the messenger beside him. Then, the messenger beside him opened his voice and screamed up to the sky.

"Your Majesty has an order, the whole army will attack!" "Woo--"

"go ahead!"

One after another roar sounded in the army, and then, stepping neatly, facing the fierce offensive horn, the infantry of the First Army marched toward the gap in the city wall in a dense array, and the defending army was already shocked by the explosion. His eyes were blank, and he was sitting on the ground, unable to stop the Winsters from attacking.

Thus, in the desperate gaze of the defenders, countless heavily armed Winster soldiers rushed over the ruins of the collapsed city wall and rushed into the city. On the pavement behind the ruins, there were a large number of miserable Tus soldiers lying on the pavement, which had been blown to pieces. The human limbs and organs, the air is filled with a strong smell of blood and gunpowder smoke.

After entering the street, the soldiers marched in all directions in a brigade, but they did not encounter much resistance, because most of the defenders were killed and a few of them were hit in the palace. Subject to the king's order, they could only stand on the palace wall, watching the army holding the yellow double-headed eagle flag of the Kingdom of Winster gradually occupy every street in the city. Looking at the army that entered the city, the new lieutenant Magnus, who was standing next to Richard on a horse, said with emotion: "Your Majesty, your new weapon is really a big surprise. With this weapon , We can even easily sweep the entire Valdasia Peninsula. If you want to, the Holy Kuyavian Empire is probably not an opponent either."

"You're right, my dear Magnus." Richard said with a smile, but then he changed the conversation and said: "But the amount of black powder needed to make explosive bags is really too much. Yes, the dynamite bag I used this time has used up all the black powder that I have stored."

Hearing what Richard said, Magnus asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, is it possible that the black powder you said is difficult to make?"

"It's not a difficult problem to make..." Richard said with a wry smile. He didn't say the following. He couldn't say that he knew the formula of gunpowder, but he couldn't make it. The saltpeter and charcoal used to make black gunpowder are very good. Find it, but the sulfur is nowhere to be found, so Richard can only get it by refreshing the gunpowder unit.

To be honest, the problem of sulfur has been plagued by Richard. As we all know, sulfur can only be obtained from the fumaroles of active volcanoes. However, neither the Vadassia Peninsula nor the current known range have heard of any livelihoods. The existence of volcanoes.

During the conversation between the two, there was a sudden fierce shouting and killing in the city. After a while, a knight rushed out of the city and came to Richard. He got off his horse and knelt in front of Richard. The report: "Your Majesty, our army has begun to besiege the palace of the Pravians. The commander of the First Heavy Sergeant Brigade applies to you to use the remaining explosive packs."

"Don't use it yet." Richard waved his hand and said: "To persuade the Pravia royal family to surrender, I believe that under the threat of gunpowder weapons, they will make the right choice."

After that, Richard urged his horse and led the way to Tus City.

When Richard walked through the ruins of the city wall, through the fallen corpses on the street, through the front line of Legionnaires, and stood outside the palace of the city of Tuz, the royal family of Pravia sent envoys to respond to persuade to surrender. Walking out of the palace gate, the messenger wore a gray robe and did not carry any props. He held his head high and maintained the final dignity of the defeated.

"The honorable commander of the Kingdom of Winster, in the name of King Nicholas II, the lord of the two cities of Tus and Suken, the supreme king of all Pravians, as his messenger, I am ordered to surrender to you. "

"As the common king of all Winsters and Lavannes, protector of the Duchy of Western Konakhta and the Republic of Riyadh~lightnovelpub.net~I, Richard Stuart, accept your surrender. "Richard nodded and replied.

"You are King Richard?" A hint of surprise flashed in front of the messenger's eyes, and he couldn't help exclaiming.

Seeing him like this, Richard frowned slightly and asked: "What's the matter?"

"Your deeds have spread throughout most of the kingdom of Valdasia in the mouths of the bards. In the mouths of the bards, your achievements are unparalleled. Your army is invincible. It seems that it is not their exaggeration. The messenger said bitterly. It can be seen that he was very uncomfortable to prove Richard's deeds with the future of his country.

Then, under the leadership of the messenger, Richard led his army into the palace through the slowly opened gate. As soon as he entered the palace, his soldiers controlled all the soldiers, and the flag of Pravia Palace was immediately removed. It was lowered and replaced with the yellow double-headed eagle flag of the Kingdom of Winster.

Soon, Richard met in the palace hall, nearly half a hundred years old, King Nicholas II of Pravia. The old king and all the royal family members and officials in the palace waited for Richard quietly. As soon as he saw Richard's young figure, the old king's body couldn't help but tremble.

Richard can more or less understand his feelings, perhaps when he heard the news of Jutian's rebellion eight years ago, the young Richard reacted like this. "Dear King Nickles, I am very happy to meet you." Richard said gracefully with a smile, but he didn't know that his smile looked like a devil in the eyes of the old king and his family.

Nicholas II took a deep breath, suppressed the flame in his heart, and said solemnly: "Richard, you have won, you have conquered my capital. The winner can offer any conditions."
