Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 162 Heavy Cavalry Charge

"Let's go! Destroy Bandak and his evil coalition forces in one fell swoop!"

Outside the gate of Bell Harbor, Richard shouted loudly, and as his voice sounded, the dull horn sounded, and teams of heavily armed sergeants walked past him in order.

Before leaving, Richard appointed Princess Stephanie to deal with more than 2,000 coalition prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp. He did so out of two considerations. Experience; the second is that she also has some channels for slave trade in Port Bell, which is easier to deal with.

In addition to dealing with the prisoners of war, Richard also sent messengers across the sea to summon more than 10,000 new troops to land on the mainland, and set off after preparing enough rations to join Richard.

...

Perhaps because they had received the news of Richard's pursuit in advance, Bundak and Jutian hurriedly led the army to retreat. The coalition soldiers who had only rested for a few hours were exhausted and could not help but complain, but under the pressure of Richard's pursuit However, he could only grit his teeth and retreat.

But how could their two legs run past the cavalry striker sent by Richard? Under the leadership of the crossbow cavalry captain Gianfranco, the crossbow cavalry quickly caught up and shot at the lagging coalition soldiers from a distance. The crossbow can easily break through the fragile back defense of the coalition soldiers and shoot them humiliatingly. But the coalition forces had no choice but to be passively beaten. They might be able to send the remaining cavalry to disperse the crossbow cavalry for a while, but the latter would soon make a comeback and shoot from a distance.

Facing such rogue crossbow cavalry, the soldiers of the coalition army could only feel helpless besides being angry. They had no choice but to break this unfavorable situation. Under the harassment of the crossbow cavalry, the marching speed of the coalition army was greatly slowed down—more precisely, their marching formation was also disturbed. Being pulled down due to constant harassment, the entire army is directly stretched, and the middle army becomes very slender. This feeling is like heavy at both ends and light in the middle.

If they are attacked at this time, they will definitely be broken in the middle, and they will not be able to respond from the beginning to the end.

Finally, in the small plain only a few hundred meters away from the Bell Territory and the Ravana Territory, Richard led his army to catch up with the retreating coalition forces. Seeing that they could not get rid of them, he commanded the Winster Expeditionary Army of the rear army. General Gaskell resolutely led the army, and his behavior moved Bellamy, the general of the Ravana army who was also the commander of the rear army. The two commanded a total of 3,000 soldiers of the rear army together.

Facing these coalition soldiers who stayed behind either voluntarily or bound by military orders, Richard was a little helpless. There is always a shortage of loyal men in this world, but it is a pity that loyal men appear in the enemy's camp.

"Attack and crush them." Regrettably, Richard still issued such a cold order. Following his order, Sir Frank, the cavalry commander, rode out. Behind him were hundreds of men and horses. Armored feudal knights and chivalrous knights, these heavy cavalry armed with three-meter-long heavy lances, caused a riot among the coalition soldiers on the opposite side. The scene of yesterday's defeat is still vivid in front of their eyes. Everyone knows that if It's not the side charge of Richard's heavy cavalry, the winner of the battle between the infantry is not necessarily who-you know, the number of coalition forces is far higher than that of Richard's army.

Rumble——

The movement of the heavy cavalry running seemed to make the ground tremble and the sky pale. It was like the sound of rolling thunder that made all the coalition soldiers turn pale and their legs tremble. Yellow cloudy liquid - obviously scared to urinate.

"Array! Arrange! You stupid pigs, get in array!"

The officer shuttled through the crowd, yelling loudly at the trembling soldiers. Under the officer's yelling, the soldiers mechanically stood together like marionettes, with their shields in front of them, and their spears tilted between the shields and shields. the gap between. Although the appearance of these officers looks very fierce,

But as long as you observe carefully, you can see the panic and fear hidden in their eyes.

"Archers stand behind spearmen, ready to shoot!"

Following the officer's order, the soldiers with longbows stood anxiously behind the spearmen's line of defense. They looked over the robes in front of them and looked at the running heavy cavalry. They were so nervous that they could hardly draw the bowstring.

"Get ready to shoot! Don't be afraid, they are human too, and they too will be shot by arrows!"

The officer's encouragement did not comfort the shaken archers. They endured the fear in their hearts, drew the arrows from the quiver, put them on the bowstring, and were about to pull them away, but the uncontrollable trembling made them unable to go smoothly. The bowstring was drawn, and some people even let the arrow fall because they couldn't hold the bowstring when they tried to draw the bowstring.

Seeing the unbearable performance of the archers, the coalition generals Gaskell and Belard looked at each other helplessly. They both saw fear in each other's eyes, which was a fear that could not be concealed.

Even the generals behaved like this, let alone the soldiers below. Under the stern reprimand of the officer, the archers finally pulled the strings of their bows and fired the first volley, but the arrows they barely shot had no aim or power at all, or were scattered on the ground, Or it was shot softly at the heavy cavalry and then bounced off by the armor, leaving no skin trauma.

After they barely fired a second salvo, they found out in horror that Richard's heavy cavalry was only tens of meters away from them!

"Raise the spear flat and charge!"

"For the Empire!"

The brigade of heavy cavalry put down their heavy lances at the same time, accelerated the speed of their horses, and launched the most violent charge against the coalition infantry in the best condition. The coalition soldiers finally lost their will to resist. Before the heavy cavalry hit them, the coalition spearmen standing in the front screamed and dropped the shields and weapons that were in the way, turned and fled, but were quickly rushed by the heavy cavalry Knock over, trample. The fragile line of defense formed by the coalition infantry was torn apart like a thin layer of paper, and the heavy cavalry led by Sir Frank rushed into the coalition army unstoppably, massacring those soldiers wantonly.

The war horse in the burqa did not slow down after it crashed into the army formation, and still rushed into all the coalition soldiers standing in front of it. The heavy lance held by the feudal knight on the horseback and raised horizontally under the armpit had already pierced through. The bodies of many enemies were also stained red with a lot of blood.

Under the violent charge of the heavy cavalry, this plain battlefield was plunged into blood, with broken limbs, broken arms and blood flying across the field, howling everywhere...
