Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 282: Bloody ambush

"attack!"

Woo-

In the deep and long sound of the horn, a large number of crossbow bolts flew out of the woods and flew onto the chaotic paved road, shooting and killing the unsuspecting coalition soldiers. For a time, arrows rained and screamed everywhere. The light armor on the coalition soldiers could not defend the crossbow bolts with their own armor-breaking effect, causing them to fall down like straws in the autumn.

Then, under the cover of the rain of arrows, a group of heavy sergeants cooperated with three hundred Lucino soldiers rushed out of the woods and killed the enemy. They issued a terrifying roar, rushing into the crowd like hungry wolves, and the outermost The soldiers knocked down and overturned, and before the soldiers were struggling to get up, the deadly spear pierced their vital points.

In addition, the chain cavalry brigade left by Charles also whizzed out of the woods. They used a small open area cleared out in advance to make a run-up to increase the speed, and then put down their heavy cavalry to charge the chaotic coalition. Facing the charge of the heavy cavalry, the allied soldiers who were panicked became even more panicked. They fled in all directions screaming, not daring to resist the charge of the cavalry with their bodies.

In such a chaotic situation, the chain armored cavalry, like the **** of war, broke the formation of the coalition all the way (although it was shattered by the fireball). They gave up the heavy and heavy cavalry and drew the knight sword from the waist. Swinging left and right, slashing enemies blocking the path under the horse, big heads flew up in the air, human stumps and broken arms also flew around, and the wide pavement road was almost stained with blood.

It may be said that before the chain cavalry joined the battlefield, the coalition forces were able to deal with a small number of infantry attacks, but after the assassin's troops launched a charge, those coalition forces instantly collapsed like a castle made of sand. On the battlefield, except for the nobles and the soldiers around the nobles who are still resisting, they are all soldiers madly fleeing for their lives.

"Stick to your post and don't retreat!"

In the melee, Palhati, who was assigned by Titos to guard the rear army, did not succeed in running to the rear. He was blocked by the attacking enemy halfway. Under his screaming, the soldiers around him formed a thin line of defense. Resist the enemy's fierce attack, this line of defense is so shaky, as if as long as the enemy charges a heavy punch, this line of defense will instantly collapse.

puff! The dull sound of iron penetration sounded, and a coalition soldier was too late to defend. He was pierced with the spear of the heavy armored sergeant. His strength was pulled away in an instant, and he knelt on the ground weakly, and the heavy armored sergeant kicked immediately. Kicked on his chest, knocked his body down, and the blood-stained spear was also pulled out. Before the heavily armored sergeant could find the next opponent, Parhati’s sharp sword slashed on his face. Facing the door, with blood pouring, the heavily armed sergeant was killed on the spot.

"Hold this line of defense, we must be able to survive!" Palha raised his voice to inspire the hard-supporting soldiers around him. At the same time, he picked up a shield on the ground and stood at the position of the soldier who had just fallen. Fight. There were more than thirty soldiers gathered around him. These soldiers formed a small hollow phalanx to ensure that every side was defended by soldiers. In the wave of defeat, this small hollow phalanx was like a lighthouse. Generally, to attract those routs to join, those routs did not all lose the courage to fight, they just didn't want to die on the battlefield unclearly.

The phalanx where Parhati was located not only attracted the defeated troops, but also attracted the attention of the enemy. At the order of the commander of the chain cavalry brigade, a company of chain cavalry was assembled, and they picked up the heavy cavalry again. , Staring at the struggling phalanx. It seemed that he felt the danger, Palhati felt cold behind his back, he subconsciously looked at it, and his face changed drastically, because the sixty heavy cavalry were slowly running towards them!

Parhati knew that this was a run-up before the cavalry charged.

Just when he was stunned, the Rusino soldier in front of him took the opportunity to chop the iron sword in his hand on Parhati’s right arm, but the armor on the latter blocked the rusty iron sword blow, Pal When Hati was in pain, he reacted instantly. He roared like an insult. A shield hit the Luxino soldier's face. The Lucino soldier who was hit hard screamed back and forth, and the bridge of his nose. The bone was shattered and the blood was flowing. Palhati did not hesitate. He took a step forward and took the sharp sword straight to the throat of the Lucino soldier. Both the aorta and trachea were severed, and he was powerless.

At this moment, it seemed that they were given orders. The Winster soldiers who were fighting with them retreated. The unsuspecting coalition soldiers just wanted to cheer, but they heard the rumble horseshoes of the cavalry running, and their expressions changed drastically. , Hurriedly looked at the source of the sound, this look was even more frightening!

"Wen, Cavalry of the Winsters!"

Someone in the phalanx screamed screamingly~lightnovelpub.net~ The fear in his words had quickly infected other people like a plague. Then, before Parhati issued a defensive order, these soldiers turned around unexpectedly. , Run backwards!

"Damn coward!" Their actions shocked Palhati. After reacting, he thundered and cursed angrily. However, at this moment, the running chain cavalry had already put down their lances and directed them to the soldiers who had not escaped. We charge!

"Charge! Crush these heretics!"

Facing the charge of sixty cavalrymen, at the moment of life and death, the remaining soldiers who did not escape also chose to follow their hearts in horror and abandoned their deputy command to escape. Although Palhati had the intention to resist, his heart It is clear that this was just a stupid act of dying-so Parhati also joined the ranks of escape.

However, how two legs can run over four legs, just a few steps, they were overtaken, before Parhati turned around to resist, the heavy lance pierced his body from behind, and then the knight Abandoning the lance, he pulled out the knight's sword on his waist and continued to chase down other soldiers on horseback. Parhati, who was pierced through his body, was lying in a pool of blood, spitting in pain. He struggled to crawl forward and got his sword, but he was doomed to be unable to get it.

"Run! As long as we rush into the woods, we will be safe!"

At the other end of the battlefield, the front army, which was seated by King Titos himself, had already repelled the attack of the heavy sergeants and the Rusino infantry. Under the order of King Titos, they stood up against the crossbow flying from the woods with their shields. Arrow ran towards the woods, Titos knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to walk the paved road, so why not break into the woods and break through in another way? As long as they rush into the woods, the terrifying heavy cavalry cannot threaten them, and the heavy cavalry fighting in the woods is not even as good as ordinary soldiers.
