Rise of the Empire Total War

"Array! Array! Spear phalanx!"

Facing the charge of the army of the Republic of Kunia, the Nordic swordsmen and sword and spear militiamen on the front line were not afraid.

As the officers shouted loudly, the militiamen with swords and spears holding three-meter-long swords and spears stood closely together. The spear was raised flat, aiming at the charging enemy from a distance, and the rows behind stood firmly, raising the weapon obliquely upwards, shaking and knocking out the incoming arrows.

"Ready to fight!"

"Crossbowmen, shoot!"

Just when the Kunians rushed to less than ten meters, crossbowmen with crossbows emerged from behind the Nordic swordsmen and sword and spear militiamen. They looked at the charging enemy expressionlessly, and could even see them from such a distance. The color of their pupils, and the next second, the trigger was pulled, and there was only a buzzing sound of air vibrations, and the deadly crossbow swept across the Cunya army formation at close range like a violent storm, sweeping away most of them in an instant.

The crossbow arrows with their own armor-piercing effects can easily penetrate the shields held by the Cunyans at close range and shoot the soldiers hiding behind the shields. It is for this reason that Charles deployed the retreating crossbowmen here. may play to their strengths.

As it turned out, he succeeded.

The Cunya soldiers who were charging only felt a light in front of them, and the soldiers in the front row were all shot down by arrows. Before the soldiers behind could react, they bumped into the sharp sword and spear head-on, and the armor on them instantly Torn apart by the sword and spear, the body was pierced through, the blood-stained sword and spear pierced from the back, and broken pieces of flesh can still be seen on it!

"attack!"

The second after the two armies collided, the officer's stern roar sounded in the defense line of the sword and spear militia. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the back row slashed at the head of the enemy who was fighting fiercely with the friendly troops in the front row, and the sword and spear directly smashed through the enemy. The defense of the helmet tore off his head completely. As a useful unit in the middle period of the Danish Kingdom, the swords and spears they equip can be said to be very fierce. Its three-meter-long body enables it to form a spear square to defend against the enemy and assassinate the enemy from a long distance. Unlike ordinary spears, it has With a sharp blade, it can also be used for chopping like a battle axe, which is very in line with the rough tactics of the Danes.

Facing such unprecedented weapons as swords and spears, the Cunha soldiers seemed to be in a hurry. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief after defending against the sword points stabbed by the enemy in front of them, the sharp blades were cut off from the top of their heads... …

Compared with the sword and spear militiamen, the tactics of the Nordic swordsmen equipped with round shields and long swords are normal, but they can still rely on their racial advantages (tall stature and great strength) to faintly suppress Kuni who is fighting with them Runner Regiment Infantry.

puff! The sharp long sword pierced the throat of the infantry of the Cunha Legion, and a large amount of blood gushed out like a fountain in an instant. The Nordic swordsman holding the long sword didn't care about the blood splashed on his body. He then pulled out his weapon and kicked The enemy clutching his throat was kicked down, at this moment, a spear pierced from the side, he dodged nimbly, and the round shield in his left hand hit the attacker's face hard, only to hear a With a dull groan, the attacker's front teeth and bridge of nose were broken, and he had to take a few steps back covering his face in pain. The Nordic swordsman didn't give him a chance, and the long sword stabbed out again, directly into his chest , broke the still beating heart.

At the same time, the battle between the cavalry of the two armies gradually began. Under the order of Somjet, the commander of the Republic of Cunya, General Albert, one of the ten generals, personally led the cavalry of the whole army to move to the flank of the Wensters, but they were soon defeated by the Second Army The Danish cavalry led by the cavalry commander Arest intercepted, and the battlefield between the cavalry immediately unfolded on a small plain away from the infantry battlefield!

"Charge! Charge! Let the Kunians see the power of the Danish cavalry!"

Aleister held his lance high and roared to the cavalry around him. Beside him was the only heavy cavalry unit in the Danish army—the chivalrous knight!

In addition to the chivalrous knights, there are also Nordic battleaxe cavalry who have accompanied Richard the longest. These Nordic cavalry equipped with terrifying battleaxes are fighting fiercely.

Loudly venting the roar in their hearts, they are eager for blood, eager to send the enemy to hell!

"Charge! For the Empire! For His Majesty Caesar!"

Amidst the thunderous roar of Aleister, more than 300 chivalrous knights in armor formed six huge conical formations and rushed towards the Cunya cavalry who also charged. Put the lance flat, tuck it under your armpit, shout and collide with the enemy head-on!

In the next second, I felt the ground tremble, people turned their backs on their backs, and their horses stumbled. Countless Cunya cavalry passing by were pierced through their bodies and fell heavily off their horses. Then they were trampled by the charging horses. The chivalrous knight was unscathed. At the moment when the two sides crossed, he gave up the apple wood lance that was broken by the powerful impact, pulled out the knight's long sword at his waist, and slashed left and right, cutting the enemy under the horse!

The huge conical formation formed by the chivalrous knights tore through the formation of the Cunha cavalry as easily as scissors tearing paper, and behind the chivalrous knights were hundreds of Nordic cavalry wielding battle axes and screaming furiously. Crying, fighting fiercely with the Cunya cavalry whose formation was torn apart.

Perhaps the Winsters have fewer cavalry than the Cunya cavalry, but in terms of quality, the former is still far superior. While the chivalrous knights were fighting fiercely with the Nordic tomahawk cavalry, on the outskirts of the cavalry battlefield, hundreds of crossbow cavalry equipped with small cavalry crossbows shot and killed the Cunya cavalry as soon as they saw them. These crossbow cavalry were so impressive The crossbow bolts they shoot can kill the Cunya cavalry at a long distance, but the Cunya cavalry have no choice but to raise their shields to defend. Facts have proved that they cannot catch up with the energetic crossbow cavalry on their tired horses , can only be kited endlessly until death.

Finally, as General Albert, who commanded the Cunya cavalry, was beheaded by the Nordic tomahawk cavalry, the Cunya cavalry, who were already at a disadvantage in close combat, began to rout. They abandoned the honor in their hearts, and they still persisted Fighting fellow infantry, fled in other directions. Aleister didn't care about the frightened losers, pointed his long sword, and the knights under his command turned their horses and rushed towards the infantry battlefield in the fierce battle.

The movement of hundreds of cavalry running at the same time quickly attracted the attention of the infantry of the Cunha Legion. They looked at the flanks suspiciously. When they saw which side the cavalry came from, their faces turned pale instantly. How could they not guess? What does this represent—if it wasn't for the defeat of one's own cavalry, how could the Winster cavalry appear on the flank?

"Array! Array! Cavalry attack!"

Shouts sounded one after another from the flanks of the Cunha Legion. Amidst the hissing and roaring of the officers, the Cunha soldiers hurriedly formed a tight shield formation, looking in horror at the approaching Winster cavalry, ready to face the most terrifying Charge!
