Roman Empire of Total War

Chapter 220: "·Three days of heavy rain"

If life is happy, then death is also God’s call to me, and it will not make me sad at all.

-Michelangelo (sculptor, architect, painter and poet)

The battle of Agincourt made the reputation of the English long archer, and also made the French heavy cavalry the laughing stock of all his peers; as the most powerful heavy cavalry in the Middle Ages, it was defeated by the long archer who looked weak and could not help but wind. This is simply Unimaginable things.

In fact, the particularity of this battle resulted in the glorious victory of the long archers, not that the long archers really had the fighting power to defeat the heavy cavalry; if that were the case, the war between Britain and France could not last for a hundred years. long time.

If the British and French armies of the Battle of Agincourt are deployed on the deserted grassland, then only 11,000 heavy cavalry of the French army are required to launch a round of charge, and the British army’s 5,000 long archers will inevitably be wiped out. , There is no chance of a fluke.

The only record that the British army’s five thousand long archers can achieve is the maximum cost of thousands of casualties paid by the French heavy cavalry to kill them; the battle of Agincourt will also become another victory for the French army, not the entire The shame of France.

The reason for the defeat of the French army was very simple. It was the muddy terrain of the small village of Agincourt at that time; the muddy land after heavy rain was like a swamp. The French soldiers stepped into this land, and even the first step was quite a laborious thing. , Let alone launch a charge.

Compared with the French army’s difficult struggling, the British army who occupied the commanding heights before the battle broke out is undoubtedly the advantage; they do not need to avoid the French attack or the retreat in haste, they only need to start a round on the high ground. Then a round of volley is enough.

The French infantry caught in the quagmire can only brave the arrows of the British long archers to push forward, and the French heavy cavalry are in no way stronger than their infantry. The horses that were charged in the past were only in the mud. The land is slowly advancing.

Countless knights who want to urge the war horses to accelerate, will soon fall with his war horses into the quagmire. The unfortunate ones are crushed by their own war horses on the spot; this French quagmire has become a burial French Cemetery.

The five thousand long archers of the British army have been repeating their movements, drawing arrows, shooting arrows, and shooting; rounds and rounds of arrow rain covered the French army stuck in the mud, bringing them real Disaster!

Because of the existence of this quagmire, 36,000 elite French troops, composed of 7,000 crossbowmen, 18,000 cavalrymen, and 11,000 heavy cavalrymen, were completely defeated by only 900 hikers. The British army of knights and five thousand long archers.

Therefore, in Bai Feng’s eyes, it is not the British longbowmen who really won the war, but the tacit cooperation between the British longbowmen and the quagmire; without the existence of 5,000 longbowmen, the blocking effect of this quagmire cannot be unlimited. Zoom in, there is no quagmire, no matter how sharp the five thousand long archers are, it is impossible to stop the French army's strong attack.

With 5,000 long archers against 36,000 elite French troops, including 11,000 heavy cavalry, that was even more terrifying than using 10,000 long archers against the 150,000 barbarian army; after all, the law The heavy cavalry in the army is the strongest in the Middle Ages!

Of course, Bai Feng has never planned to use his 10,000 long archer against the 150,000 army under Francis; who makes this world not an ordinary world, the existence of swords and magic can always make magical things no longer magical .

Not to mention that Bai Feng can make this muddy land. Even if this muddy land is really found by Bai Feng, will Francis' army surely fall into this quagmire and move forward with difficulty?

Can a warrior with spiritual power be comparable to a French soldier on earth? The role of the mire on these barbarian warriors is absolutely extremely limited; however, the existence of spiritual power is not all bad for Bai Feng, because his Longbowmen also possess spiritual power.

This also means that the 10,000 long archers in the city of Rome can shoot sharper arrows during shooting, bringing a more violent attack to the enemy; the soldiers of the enemy will be strong because of their spiritual power. The longbowmen are also strong because of their spiritual power.

Thinking of this, Bai Feng's most important way to think about is how to turn the periphery of Queen Budeka's camp into a quagmire; it seems that this thing is not humanly possible, maybe a large number of water magicians can do it, but the city of Rome There is no magician.

The spell that the caster can use is a ‘spirit blade’. Its role is to kill enemies on the battlefield. If you want to expect them to make rainy tricks, it is tantamount to idiot talking about dreams. It is simply impossible.

In addition to the caster, the only thing Bai Feng can ask for is the high priest Binglan; as the high priest of the temple of Apollo, the temple she represents always has some special abilities. Changing the weather can only do so. Relying on Binglan High Priest.

In the past, the high priest Binglan told Bai Feng more than once that the power of faith far exceeds his imagination; since the power of faith is so great, why can't it be used to change the weather? You know, changing the weather is something that even magicians can do.

I can only think of looking for Bai Feng, the high priest of Binglan. He took three gods and went to the Temple of Apollo. At this time, Bai Feng had the last eighteen gods in his hands. He was still waiting for the Roman city to enter the city stage. Use these idols to complete the construction of the Roman city in one fell swoop!

For this battle with Francis, he could only bear out the three gods first; there was no way, but the camp of Queen Budika but the Roman city entered the bridgehead on the east bank of the Cura River, and the strategic value was more than their symbolic value. Big, Bai Feng can never give up!

After coming to the temple again, Bai Feng, who was in an emergency situation, did not say anything else to Binglan High Priest, but directly opened the door and told his purpose to Binglan High Priest and asked if Bing Lan High Priest could change the weather.

The original Binglan high priest's answer was no, but after Bai Feng showed a disappointed look, she changed her tone and said yes; the surprised Bai Feng naturally asked why, Binglan high priest's answer was like this.

The temple of Apollo is far more important than Bai Feng’s imagination, and the power of faith can naturally change the weather; however, all of this has a basic premise, that is, it must be carried out within the sphere of influence of the city of Rome .

In other words, Bai Feng can use the power of faith to help Binglan High Priest help himself in any area controlled by the Roman city and create a thunderstorm storm out of thin air, but he can't make a trace of detail outside the controlled area of ​​the Roman city. rain.

Undoubtedly, the Essini tribe controlled by Queen Budeka, who belongs to the Roman city's subsidiary forces, their camp is naturally within the sphere of influence of the Roman city; what surprises Bai Feng more is that the power of faith contained in a **** can bring Come all day and night rainstorm!

So, Bai Feng took out the three gods in a decisive manner, and let the high priest Binglan, within a radius of fifty miles east of the Aisini tribe camp, under the heavy rain of three days and three nights, completely change the situation of this area!
