Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 401: chat

"This is the weapon used by the Winsters?"

Looking at the musket in the soldier’s hand, Cassiano Chavaria asked in a deep voice. Actually, without anyone answering, the affirmative answer appeared in Cassiano’s heart. He took the musket in the soldier’s hand and observed it carefully. Weapons, this is a weapon he has never seen before. In his decades of military career, he has seen all kinds of weapons. This kind of long-barreled weapon that looks harmless on the outside has opened his eyes.

"How to use this weapon?" Cassiano asked, squinting at the soldier in front of him.

"General, we...we don't know." The soldier replied, lowering his head. It's no wonder they don't know that before they have received professional training, even if they put paper-packed bullets and muskets in front of them, they don't know how to load and shoot ammunition.

"Then I don't care. Within a month, you must learn to use these weapons and be able to use them on the battlefield." Cassiano said, his tone is unquestionable, the power of the battlefield hero suddenly dispersed at this moment, shocked. The soldiers around didn't dare to say the words of rejection, so they could only agree to it.

After the soldiers stepped back, Cassiano continued to look at the map spread out on the table, which marked the stronghold of the second regiment with ink, and there were several battle reports from the front line beside him. He didn't need to dismantle it. Everyone knows what's inside. It's nothing more than an offensive failure and a big loss.

It can be said that since he took over the front line to the present, the only victory that he has won has been to ambush the third regiment and wipe out the opponent. Although there was only one victory, it still greatly stimulated the morale of the Alliance army, at least the soldiers. Knowing that the Winsters are not invincible, they will also fail, and the first failure also paid such a painful price.

This victory not only inspired the soldiers of the whole army. When the battle report was sent to the Union Parliament, the whole assembly was caught in cheers. Together with the city where the Parliament was located, they were overflowing with a sea of ​​celebration. They had a fierce debate the day before. Yes, we got such great news today. The main combatants instantly gained the upper hand. They passed the proposal to increase troops on the front line through victory in one fell swoop. In addition, in order to redeem the navy's disadvantage, the alliance has made shipbuilding in all coastal cities. The factories are working overtime to build warships in an attempt to humiliate themselves.

The actions of the alliance were quickly detected by Richard through the spy network flowing into his territory, and sent to him along with the spy intelligence was a letter of help written by Charles. The defeat in the war on the Osa Peninsula was due to Richard Wanwan. Unexpectedly, his army fought smoothly. He didn't expect something went wrong after changing the new army. Although Charles also explained that it was a matter of number, Richard still hesitated.

He didn’t know whether to continue to promote the musket. The weakness of the musket soldiers in close combat was the main reason for this defeat. We will win the final victory.

Perhaps after seeing Richard's hesitation, Stephanie, who happened to be standing beside him, asked with concern: "What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Richard replied faintly, and at the same time he put away the envelope. He didn't want Stephanie to get involved. The latter gave Richard a dissatisfied look and tweeted: "I am also this country. Queen, what do you need to hide from me?"

Stephanie said so, Richard had no choice but to say: "It's about the front line."

After finishing talking, he looked at his wife’s big belly again. A six-month-old baby was sleeping soundly inside. Although he didn’t know whether it was a male or a female, Richard was still full of expectations. He hoped that he had a son. This child is a daughter, it is one thing to not want the tragedy of the crown prince, Richard is actually a potential daughter slave.

Seeing Richard looking at her stomach, Stephanie touched her subconsciously, as if she could still feel the fetus inside kicking her gently. "What's wrong with the front line?" she asked.

"The Third Regiment of the New Army was ambushed by the Akanania Alliance Army and the entire army was wiped out." Richard said flatly in German. "Charles hopes that I can send more reinforcements to support him."

The word annihilated is a bit strange to Stephanie. It took a long time for her to react. She looked at Richard with an unbelievable expression and said: "The whole army is annihilated? How could it be possible that our army has not always been invincible. Is it?"

"Although I can't believe it, the whole army is indeed annihilated." Richard shrugged helplessly, and then said: "You also know that the new army is mostly soldiers equipped with muskets. They only have one melee weapon. The saber does not have armor on his body, so after the ambush, it is expected that the enemy with rich melee combat experience will be wiped out."

"It's terrible," Stephanie called. "Our army has never suffered such a fiasco!"

"Yeah." Richard nodded, and Stephanie asked again: "But, what were you hesitating just now?"

"I'm hesitating whether to send the second legion that has not been disbanded to support, or continue to recruit the new army. Although the new army's melee ability is very poor, they are best at long-range shooting. Generally speaking, even the most elite knights, Faced with the shooting of large-scale soldiers of the new army, they were unable to break through their barrage."

Stephanie pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "Although I don't know what you are thinking, it seems to me that the recruitment of the new army can continue. As long as you are careful, it is impossible to step into the enemy every time. The trap. But now the war is urgent, it is better to send the Second Army to reinforce Earl Charles first."

At the end of the speech, before Richard could answer, she continued: "Before entering the battlefield, you can also enhance the training of the new army in melee combat. UU reading www.uukanshu.com allows them to fight back when they fall into melee combat. room."

"Of course I know this." Richard said with a wry smile. "But my definition of the new army is that it is not necessary to fight close combat with the enemy. Unless it is to light up the ammunition, I will try to avoid close combat with the enemy."

"The enemy won't do what you think, my dear husband." Stephanie flicked Richard's head and said: "What's more, how can a war be undead? You have been leading the army for so many years, why now? Suddenly forgot this truth."

Yes. Richard suddenly realized that he regarded the new army too precious and he was not willing to die too much, but how could the war be undead? Even the world's largest powers will more or less die when they launch small-scale regional wars. Some soldiers, let alone an era of alternating hot and cold weapons.

After figuring this out, Richard took Stephanie into his arms and pecked her soft cheek heavily, causing the other person to smile and pat Richard’s chest lightly. Cha De said with great intent: "This is my reward for you, my dear, you are really my good helper!"

Although I don't know what it means to be a good helper, Stephanie also laughed when Richard was so happy.
