, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of the Empire, Total War!

On the infantry battlefield, the battle continued.

Despite facing attacks from enemies several times greater than their own, the Charles Army’s defense line still stood firm. A large number of corpses fell in front of their defense. Flowing into a river, the residual limbs and broken arms and internal organs floated on the blood water, almost overflowing the human ankle.

The continuous high-intensity fighting made the soldiers on both sides show fatigue, but no one dared to retreat half a step. The coalition soldiers did not dare to retreat because they would be executed if they retreated privately, while the soldiers of the Charles Corps were because they had no more. The road can be retreated, because behind them is the stream.

"Kill! Our army will win!"

On the battlefield, in order to motivate the morale of the soldiers, Charles has personally led his elite early generals and guards to abandon their horses and join the battle. Charles's performance in his late full-body plate armor is particularly outstanding. The century-old equipment gives him a defense that is almost impossible to break. The enemy's attack can only leave a small white spot or scratch on his body at best. It can’t hurt the person in the armor. Coupled with the knight-shaped shield he is equipped with, the defense is bursting. Usually when the enemy hits his body but the weapon is bounced by the armor, the knight sword in his hand has already been cut at the same time. On the enemy.

boom!

Just beheading an enemy, an iron sword hit Charles’s left arm, but was then bounced off by the smooth plate armor. Charles quickly turned around, and the shield of his left arm hit the enemy’s jaw with a heavy blow. Hearing only a crisp sound of bone cracking, the man's jaw cracked, and blood flowed from his nose and mouth unstoppable. The assailant could not even make a scream, and could only take a few steps back while covering the wound. How did Charles let him go? He took a step forward, and the knight sword in his hand was accurately inserted into the enemy's throat. At the same time as the skin broke, a lot of blood flowed out. He then drew the knight sword down and cut the man’s neck inside. The trachea and aorta are clearly visible.

Feeling the warmth of the blood spewing from the enemy’s wound on his body, Charles screamed up to the sky. He saw with his own eyes, a heavily armored sergeant kicked the enemy’s calf joint, causing the enemy’s leg to bend uncontrollably. Kneeling on the ground, then, standing behind the enemy, pierced the spear, the spear broke through the enemy’s leather armor, inserted into the body, and then stirred hard, the person’s spinal nerves were severed, and the whole person Soft and limp on the ground, it is no longer possible to continue fighting.

Although the soldiers of Winster performed extremely well, the heavy infantry of their hostile Kingdom of Meganis was equally outstanding. These heavily armed soldiers, equipped with copper shields and spears, played vigorously with the walking imperial knights.

In the melee, a walking imperial knight had just opened the belly of an enemy with a sword, causing the intestines and other internal organs of the opponent to flow out of the wound and slumped to the ground. Before he could perform the next action, the enemy came from his side. Stabbing a spear, the foot knight reacted quickly and dodged to dodge the stabbing weapon, but shortly afterwards, several spears struck again. He had no time to escape, so he could only watch the blood-stained spear stabbing. He came, but was bounced off by the half-body armor he was wearing. He had no time to rejoice. The spear that struck him before hit his unarmored neck. He only heard the sound of a dull iron entering the flesh, and his neck was pierced out. In a big hole, blood was gushing, the foot knight knelt to the ground weakly, his eyes gradually losing color.

As the battle progressed, Charles’ line of defense gradually retreated, and more and more corpses fell on the ground. There were coalition infantry and some of their own soldiers, but most of them were the corpses of the enemy, civilian crossbowmen shooting arrows. They also drew their sabers and joined the battlefield. However, their melee performance was very poor, only slightly better than the peasants in the coalition. They were not equipped with shields and could only pick up the masterless shields on the ground to defend, but even so, they still Many soldiers will be easily killed by the enemy.

Charles quickly ordered them to retreat. He knew that allowing civilian crossbowmen to join melee combat was an act of giving heads. Not only that, a large number of casualties would also hit the morale of the soldiers, which would do harm to the soldiers.

When letting the civilian crossbowmen retreat, Charles couldn't help but look in the direction of the cavalry battlefield, hoping that his cavalry could appear in his sight. In this situation, only the cavalry can win the victory if it is his cavalry. After being defeated and withdrawing from the battlefield, the news spreads here. Without their cavalry charge, the infantry will have no intention of fighting again because of the shaken military spirit.

Soon, under his expectation, a group of cavalry appeared on the distant horizon, riding on the dust in the sky. The flags they held high were obscured by the smoke and dust and could not be seen clearly, but they could still be seen vaguely. It was a group of heavy cavalry.

"Zoran, is that you?" Charles thought in his heart. The enemy in front of him seized the opportunity of this distraction and cut the long sword. Fortunately, the general guard on the side discovered it in time and raised his shield to help him block it. After this attack, there would be another trace on his body.

Not only Charles spotted this cavalry team, but also the coalition commander Prince Marcos. He was also nervous. His eyes were fixed on the cavalry brigade rushing out of the dust. When he saw his cavalry running at the forefront, He breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced: "Sylves, you are finally back."

However, in the next second, the double-headed eagle flag of the Winster Kingdom that burst out of the dust broke all his illusions, making his face suddenly pale. He could not think of why his cavalry would Appear in the enemy's cavalry brigade, or rush to the front line!

"It's a cavalry! A Winster cavalry! Our cavalry is defeated!"

The movement in the rear caused the soldiers to look back~lightnovelpub.net~ When they saw the yellow double-headed eagle flag with black background, panic spread rapidly throughout the army, and the enemy cavalry appeared on the battlefield, even if they were fools. You can guess what happened!

"Our cavalry is back! Soldiers of the empire, fight the enemy bravely, for Caesar, for Christ the Lord!"

Compared to the enemy’s panic, Charles’s defense line was full of joy. Under Charles’ loud shouts, the soldiers of the Legion cheered and launched a counterattack against the enemy. Their enemies had no intention of fighting again at this time, regardless of the reprimands of nearby nobles. One after another collapsed, the huge coalition army formation was like scattered sand at this time, and it was instantly destroyed. Amidst the screams, the coalition soldiers threw their helmets and armors and fled back. At this moment, the cavalry led by Zoran When they arrived, they roared into the army, beheading the soldiers who fled, just like the hungry wolves entering the sheepfold, showing the most primitive **** cruelty!

"Lost! Defeated! Retreat, retreat!"

Seeing all this, Prince Marcos, the commander of the coalition forces, was desperate. Under the persuasion of the adjutant, he left his army and fled in a hurry while the enemy cavalry had not chased him. He not only left his own soldiers, but also left. The honor of being a commander-in-chief.
