Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 358: 1 Make a decisive battle if you don't ag

Woo-

Amidst the vigorous sound of musical instruments, the fully armed Winster soldiers with their heads high and their chests straight, stepped into the gates of Catonita City in an orderly manner. On both sides of the street, there are expressionless citizens. Although they are forced to gather together to welcome the so-called "Master of the King", they have 10,000 dissatisfaction in their hearts, but they dare not express it with practical actions, and can only use Emojis illustrate the emotions in the heart.

However, the Winster soldiers don’t care about their feelings. The soldiers who captured almost all of the Catonitas only care about what they can get. The expedition to the Osa Peninsula is not only their mission, but also allows them to make a lot of money. A sum of money, so they will have such a great fighting spirit.

However, they were a little dissatisfied with the disposal of the nearly two thousand Catonita soldiers captured by them. According to the past tradition, the prisoners of war would be sold to slave merchants, and the ransom received would be paid to the royal family, and the rest would be distributed to the army. Every soldier in the team, although everyone is not able to get a lot of money, they are already very satisfied.

But now, I don’t know which **** made the idea. These prisoners of war will not be sold as slaves. Instead, they will be released unconditionally and transferred to the Catonita City Council that has surrendered. All the council needs to do is to re-equip this one. The army, as an auxiliary to the Winster Expeditionary Army, fights against their former allies.

Of course, the commander of this auxiliary army cannot be commanded by the generals of the Cattonitas themselves. The ten generals who originally commanded have all been driven back home. The new commander will be held by Prince Phyllis, perhaps out of monitoring him. For the reason, Charles also sent two Winster officers as his deputies, in order to fear that Prince Phyllis would blindly command and destroy major events.

In addition to the overall takeover of the army, the Catonita parliament was also affected. The few members who had advocated resistance were confessed. As a result, Winster soldiers who were not democratic at all came to check the water meter. The family had several members. All were dragged to the upper street to show the public, and all the property was checked. These parliamentarians who became homeless beggars overnight were quickly filled up by new people. As a Winster-dominated parliament, the new members are all pro-Winster kingdoms.

There is a saying that the most easily controlled country in the world is this kind of parliamentary country. When a certain force controls more than half of the parliamentarians, then this force can easily control national policies and further control. Entire country. This is what Charles thinks, and he did the same. He was either intimidated or lured, and controlled most of the parliament step by step.

On the sixth day after the fall of the Catonita city-state, the coalition forces of the general city-states and the city-states of Tarosos were late to arrive. They built a line of defense behind the border and sent envoys to negotiate with the commander of the Winsters. The offensive speed is beyond their imagination. The Kingdom of Lyctus lasted only half a day, which can be explained by being caught off guard by a sneak attack, and the fall of Catonita city-state can also be explained by tactical missteps. None of this explains the strength of the Winsters, but the difference in numbers between the two armies It’s better to avoid war if you put it there.

However, their negotiating intentions were directly rejected. With strong power, Charles was disdainful of negotiating with the enemy. Moreover, without King Richard's instruction, he had no right to negotiate with the enemy. Therefore, Charles not only rejected the negotiation request of the general coalition forces, but also directly submitted the decisive battle, and the opponent was determined by the Catonita Plains about two days later.

Regarding the decisive battle letter submitted by the Winsters, there was a quarrel in the general city-state coalition camp. The ten generals sent by each of the two city-states had their own ideas. In decisive battles, some advocates that they cannot avoid the battle and rely on the line of defense built to resist the enemy's attack. However, the latter's power is obviously at a disadvantage, because in the eyes of these radical generals, the cowardly behavior of avoiding the battle is degrading and degrading. glory.

Although according to the current strength ratio, avoiding the battle is the most correct way, but how can these proud generals compromise? They quarreled loudly, and they were all red-faced. In the end, it was the people of the main war faction who had the upper hand. Through the most traditional voting method, the coalition forces will go to Catonita Plains to fight the enemy two days later~lightnovelpub.net~ As soon as the voting results came out, the main battle generals cheered, they clapped each other and insulted with laughter. Those cowards in their eyes, and the losing party also sighed and sighed. They had a premonition in their hearts that the outcome of this war was very bad, and there was a high chance that they would fail.

...

Considering that he is the "host", Charles led the army to set up a formation on the pre-selected battlefield very early. Under his deployment, the most elite heavy-armed sergeant in the army was deployed on the left flank. Considering that the hostile general alliance is equipped The heavy infantry with bucklers and spears is under the greatest combat pressure. Secondly, the spear sergeants are deployed in the Chinese army. The combat pressure here is not small. Finally, it is the auxiliary army commanded by Prince Phyllis. The task is only to stick the enemy's heavy infantry phalanx with the Chinese army. When the imperial knights acting as hammers go around behind the enemy, they can cooperate with the heavy cavalry to crush the enemy's phalanx in one fell swoop.

In addition, Charles has a good thing to give the general coalition an early taste, that is the firearms battalion with the army. The artillery, advanced muskets and earth grenade equipped with the firearms battalion have not been able to be used on the battlefield on a large scale (previously Basically, it can only be achieved in a siege war), especially the earthy grenade and the gunpowder arrow equipped with the archer, since they were invented, they have not seen blood. Therefore, one of Charles's goals in this expedition was to use gunpowder weapons on the battlefield to see the effects.

The generals and soldiers of the general coalition didn’t know what they were about to face. They were slowly entering the arena at this time, placing close square formations one after another on the open plain, among the citizens with their heads upright. Before, it was light infantry composed of free people and poor people. They were equipped with small wooden bucklers and javelins. There was only one task, and that was to throw all the javelins in their hands at the enemy.
