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

The so-called holy war to expel the infidel invaders is still going on in Malafa in the northern part of the Miganis Kingdom.

Under the call of Katrin, more and more people gathered to join her team. At first, it was just illiterate farmers who were illiterate. In the end, because her reputation spread so far, there were many wanderers seeking fame. The knights and nobles are here to participate, the most famous of which is Robert Tam from the Holy Kuyavian Empire. He once served as the commander of the "Keepers" Legion of the Holy Kuyavian Empire. He has rich combat experience. However, because of the failure of the political struggle, he had to withdraw sadly and go into exile.

After joining the team, Sr. Robert soon became Katrin’s most trusted lieutenant and was authorized to command most of the soldiers. This was not only related to his origin, but also because of the dozens of elite knights who came with him. Katrin knew that she was not a qualified commander, at least she was not a suitable commander before she participated in the war in person.

At the same time, Katrin's reputation was also passed into the ears of Prince Teglaer who had taken refuge in Malafa. The prince who was frightened and lost confidence by the Winsters immediately sent someone to Katrin. The kingdom was at stake. Under the circumstances, Katrin who appeared in the sky was like a life-saving straw caught by the drowning man, giving him some hope.

No one knows what the young prince talked with the future saint during the meeting. When they came out of the study with a smile on their faces, Teglaer, who was a prince, immediately announced in front of everyone. Katrin was appointed as the general of the kingdom, and let the remaining resistance army cooperate with her to resist Winster's army.

It can be seen that if there is no other way, Teglaer would not appoint an illiterate rural girl from a humble background as his general. This is a gamble. If he wins, he will continue to maintain his dominant position. If he loses, he will continue to dominate. Falling into an unrecoverable situation, he became a captive of the Winsters, like a poor bird locked in a cage called Gabriel Tower.

...

On December 1, 1116 in the continental calendar, the legion officially opened. After instructing the lieutenant-general of Landauer, who led the first independent battle, Richard personally led the main force to leave Meghalenburg and head west. Facing the menacing Winster main force, the remnants of the Meganis Kingdom in the west suddenly lost the thought of resistance, opened the city gates to surrender, and handed in grain and grass to supplement the legion. For these elites who are aware of current affairs, Richard De is very generous in announcing that they will retain their status and only need to pay taxes every quarter. ,

This result was very satisfactory to the surrendering nobles. It was handed over to the Maganis royal family, and it was handed over to Richard. Then why not hand it over to the more powerful party?

After comforting the nobles who had surrendered, Richard continued to move westward. In just a few days he crossed the border between the two countries along the wide stone paved avenue and rushed into the territory of the Kingdom of Dela. Two routes, the deputy commander of the Knights, Gerard von Basehem, was ordered to lead the Teutonic Knights to the south to cooperate with the military commander to clamp down on the army of the Kingdom of Dera, while he himself attacked the capital of the Kingdom of Dera, Bennett-if he could win it in one fell swoop The capital of the enemy country will cause a great blow to its army, and all members of the royal family will be taken prisoners, and it will be able to force King Dela to surrender.

Imagination is always good. On the second day after the division, the Teutonic Knights led by Gerard encountered one of the Kelvin barbarian mercenaries who had just gone north. Their purpose was to go to the border of the Kingdom of Meganis to garrison. (Because the news of Winster’s main force defeating King Meganis has reached the front lines of the Kingdom of Dera, the senior leaders of several coalition forces suddenly realized and figured out the whereabouts of the enemy’s main force, but it was too late), but it was still slow. A few steps.

After the two armies met, they were dumbfounded. Gerard reacted first. He took the lead in pulling out his sword and shouting to rush out of the army. Behind him, the elite Teutonic knights rode their horses to keep up, and the two brigades Six hundred heavy cavalry ran on the open plain with a whistling vigor, and directly stunned the Qi bone barbarian and Dera soldiers in place. This Qi bone barbarian did not light up the cavalry like some of their clansmen. Specialization, but retains the centuries-old tradition of foot combat, so they are also unable to meet the charge of the heavy cavalry of the brigade on the plain.

In the crowd, watching the approaching enemy heavy cavalry, the barbarian chief roared loudly and shouted that the tribesmen took up their spears and formed a spear formation to meet the enemy. On this open plain, they can't run with a four-legged horse. It's better to fight to the death and rely on the spear in their hands to block the enemy cavalry.

However, whether he can stop the enemy cavalry, the barbarian chief, has no bottom in his heart. The reputation of Winster's heavy cavalry spread throughout the Vadasian Peninsula, even in the holy Kuyavian Empire. At first, their tribe didn’t know how powerful the Winsters were. They thought it was a simple task. They were bewitched by the **** mercenary merchant and took the order. When they entered the Valdasia Peninsula, they heard more and more. The more prestigious Winsters, the more they had the idea of ​​retreat, but for the attractive commission, they still bite the bullet.

By now, regrets finally grew in the heart of the barbarian chief.

"Array! Array! You stupid pigs! Hurry up, the archers are in front and the spearmen are behind! Hurry!"

Under the barbarian chief's stern rebuke, this group of infantry roared in an array, and it took a long time to reluctantly form a formation under the pressure of the Teutonic knight's charge, and at this moment, the knight had already rushed to a place less than fifty meters!

"Let go! Let go of the arrow!"

Whoosh--

With the deterrence of the cavalry charge~lightnovelpub.net~, the archers standing in front shivered and shot a round of weak arrows, and then hurriedly turned around and ran into the passage vacated by the spearmen. The arrows they shot hit the shield held by the Teutonic knights and were bounced away, without causing any threat to the knights.

"Charge! For **** Christ, crush them!"

"For the glory of my lord!"

The archers who hurriedly withdrew into the spear formation directly disrupted the formation of the spearmen. At this moment, the terrifying roars of the Teutonic knights resounded across the sky. In the next second, the three-meter-long heavy lances were all together. When it falls, the horse will increase its speed to the highest level under the control of the knights, and launch the most violent charge to the chaotic enemy infantry!

boom!

It was as if a black and white flood hit a dam made of sand. The latter collapsed instantly. As soon as the group of Teutonic knights went forward, they directly crushed the chaotic enemy infantry into dust, and the body of the infantry was knocked over by the high-speed charging horses. Knocked over and stepped into a mixed flesh, these infantrymen could not even stop the Teutonic Knights even for a second, they were easily torn apart!

This is the power of the heavy cavalry charge, this is a veritable tank of the cold weapon era!
