Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 431: Battle of Akas (2)

"shooting!"

Bang bang bang ——

The third brigade’s position suddenly rang out from the sky, and the running cavalry seemed to have been hit by invisible fists in mid-air. The whole person instantly rose into the air, or screamed and fell heavily from the horse, at high speed. When he fell to the ground while running, the impact caused the knight to break a fracture directly, and even worse, he broke his spine and died on the spot.

In front of the dense firepower net, even if the barbarian cavalry formed a loose formation, they still could not escape. Before they rushed to a distance of 50 meters, the Bailai cavalry all fell to the ground, and they kept ringing on the road of their charge. Weeping, the soldier who was shot in the body lay in a pool of blood tossing and turning, struggling endlessly. Unexpectedly, a few others stood up firmly after falling off their horses and staggered towards the third brigade position.

Before they took a few steps, their legs softened, they knelt down, and then fell straight with their backs to the sky.

After this, the battlefield fell into a weird silence. Whether it was the line infantry who was loading ammunition or the coalition soldiers on the opposite side, there was no sound, but they all focused on the knights and horses who were not completely dead.

"Huh! Huh! Huh!"

A few seconds later, the soldiers cheered on the position of the third brigade. They raised their muskets high, or used bayonets to provoke their military caps. Although it was only the first wave of small-scale tentative offensives, Being able to wipe out the enemy so easily is enough to prove that their training is useful.

Listening to the cheers from the opposing positions, there was a silent and solemn atmosphere in the coalition army. The two generals looked at each other, and for a moment they didn’t know what to say. After a while, whether it was Russia or Russia. General Bonea spoke in the lead, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere. He said: "Stop the attack first. The enemy's firepower is too fierce, and I don't know what terrible weapon was used."

"Well, let the soldiers find a place to build a camp. Now is really not the time to attack. The Winsters won the first battle and their morale is booming. Coupled with such terrible weapons, I am afraid that our army will have lost before they rushed to the front. It's terrible."

The orders of the two commanders were quickly passed on, and the coalition forces immediately began to retreat and stationed in a small village not far north of the Akas Heights. The residents of this small village fled long before the flames of war hit here. , Leaving only an empty village.

Seeing the coalition retreat so easily, Richard Bono was really speechless, but he did not relax his vigilance. He ordered the scouts to observe the enemy's movements while leaving enough guard force to let the soldiers. Disbanded and returned to the camp.

That night, the two commanders of the coalition began to discuss the offensive plan for the second day. Although they were apparently building a barracks, they actually sent a small group of scouts to explore the Winster positions. They found that Wins Only the regular troops of the Kingdom of Winster, armed with long-barreled weapons, were deployed on the front of the Territories, but on the flanks were the servants provided by the vassal states such as the Kingdom of Dela and the Kingdom of Miganis, and the mobs provided by the Kingdom of Swaczy. Compared with the positive Winster regular army, its flanks are undoubtedly soft persimmons that are easier to deal with. Especially the Swaqiqi army deployed on the right wing, the army that has just experienced civil strife must be unstable and is the best breakthrough target.

With this in mind, the two generals unanimously decided to assemble the superior barbarian cavalry in the army, and the soldiers split into two directions to charge against the wings of the Winsters. Of course, the timing of the charge should not be too early. The infantry of the two armies must be caught in a fierce battle, Wens Special people have no time to attack when reinforcements. Of course, the plan is formulated in such a way that it is not known whether it can be executed smoothly during wartime.

...

The next day, May 13, 1125, in the continental calendar, the Akas Heights.

After the first round of tentative offensive failure, the Allied forces came back after a night of dressing, and lined up outside the range of the artillery. They took the light infantry without armor as the vanguard, followed by the infantry equipped with swords, shields and spears. , In order to reduce the casualties caused by enemy artillery bombardment, the distance between each soldier is stretched as far as possible.

The cavalry of the coalition forces are also deployed on the flanks, personally led by the two sons of the barbarian leader, and only wait for the banner of the Chinese army to send out their horses. It can be clearly seen that although some tribesmen died tragically on the charge yesterday, this did not affect their morale. These barbarian cavalry were still morale high and eager to try.

"Blow the horn and start attacking!"

As one of the two generals said, the messenger behind him immediately picked up the horn on his waist, put it on his mouth and bulged his cheeks and blew it. Over each soldier’s head, with the sound of the horn, the coalition forces seemed to have been pressed some kind of switch, and marched forward together, first with the light infantry equipped with crossbows or javelins, and then the melee infantry with full body armor. Although his steps are chaotic and disorderly, but the number is huge, looking at the black and oppressive, full of oppressive feeling.

"Adjust the gun position and prepare for shelling!"

"Check your weapons to make sure they have been loaded!"

"Think of the double-headed eagle badge on your military cap, don't let it be ashamed of your actions!"

On the position of the Winster Army ~lightnovelpub.net~ all kinds of shouts came one after another, the soldiers all stood in their own positions, put their rifles in front of them, and pointed them at the enemy approaching here. The artillery was also busy adjusting the artillery. Boxes of gunpowder and shells were carried here and put down by the army slaves. It can be seen that some of these shells are dark solid shells, and some have a lead. Flower bombs.

On the two wings of the position, the vassal ** team and the Swaczy King ** team, which are still in the cold weapon era, also lined up tightly against each other. Compared with the third brigade on the front battlefield, their fighting pressure Undoubtedly the smallest, but even so, they were warned to be vigilant before the war and not to retreat without authorization-in order to threaten them and deter them, Richard Knob even drew a brigade from the reserve team. Deployed behind the vassal ** team, as the supervising team, behind the Swaqiqi King ** team there are also two supervising teams, so that they dare not play any tricks without authorization.

Seeing the slowly advancing coalition forces, Richard Noble couldn't help swallowing his saliva. After so many years in the army, this was the first time he commanded a battle that could be recorded in the annals of history alone. Will he just talk about soldiers on paper or With real skills, it all depends on this battle.

"May God bless me and my army, Amen." He drew a cross on his chest and prayed in a low voice.
