Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 198: Foggy Battlefield

At sunset, the fierce battle had long since ended. This unnamed plain was covered with the corpses of countless soldiers from the two armies, and the flames burned the tender plants in spring. The horse that lost its master stood there alone, lowering its head to touch the corpse of its master. I want him to stand up again and ride himself to fight.

The fighting during the day failed to determine the winner, seeing the setting sun was about to set, the commanders of both sides agreed to retreat, and only waited for the next day to fight again. The fighting in the daytime caused the loss of a large number of soldiers on both sides, whether it was the coalition army with superior numbers or the Winster Kingdom army with a slightly better average combat quality.

Inspecting the temporary wounded barracks in the barracks, hearing the painful groans of the wounded, Richard felt a little heavy. In today's battle, he lost nearly a thousand soldiers, but caused no less than Two thousand casualties is almost a one-to-two casualty ratio—if the fight continues at this ratio, although Richard will have the last laugh, his First Legion will be really hurt.

There is another situation that Richard did not count, and that is the Second Army led by Charles not far from here. I believe that the messenger he sent should have arrived at Charles' barracks. After receiving Richard's order, Charles quickly They will come to support, and the two legions attack the enemy at the same time, how can they need to injure the enemy one thousand and self-injure eight hundred? Hey, a paragraph is missing! If you like it, please collect it: () Zhaishuyuan is updated the fastest.

the next day.

In the early morning, the two armies lined up again on yesterday's battlefield. The corpses left over from the previous war were all cleaned up, except for the blood-stained grass, a small number of bullet craters, and fragments of meat that might be stepped on from time to time. There are no other remains. Damn, another paragraph is missing! Zhaishuyuan, update the latest chapter as soon as possible!

This gave Richard a bit of a headache. Originally, the shooting accuracy of the early artillery was very metaphysical, and the hits all depended on luck. Yesterday's results were also due to the large number of coalition forces and their dense positions. Most of them were able to shoot into the crowd, but today... …Under the cover of dense fog, a random shot would be a waste of ammunition.

Woo--

The familiar sound of the horn came from the depths of the dense fog, but it was sad and distant, causing the expressions of the heavily armored soldiers in the front line to change slightly. The dense fog with a visibility of only ten meters in front of them seemed to be rushed out of the dense fog by wild beasts in the next second to attack them.

Under the influence of the dense fog, the entire front was filled with a tense atmosphere, and some soldiers even had a little fear. The source of fear came from the unknown. This sentence was well interpreted at this moment. Seeing this, Richard frowned slightly, and he rode away from where Wang Qi was, rushed to the front of the front line, and said loudly: "Sun, I can't watch it and I'm missing a paragraph!" Remember for a second, Zhaishuyuan ().

This dense fog is just a small test for us by the Almighty Lord. Once we pass the test, the Lord will bestow rich rewards to sublimate our souls and usher in a greater victory!

In a few minutes, there will be a large number of heretics who believe in false gods rushing out of the thick fog, trying to defeat the righteous army who believe in God. I know you will not tolerate the shameful defeat befalling the Legion, let alone the Legion Defeated under the iron heel of the heathen. So, please hold on to your shields, show off your spears, straighten your chest, muster up your courage, and fight bravely for the glory of our Lord! "

"In the name of the Lord, we shall prevail!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

"In the name of the Lord!!!"

As soon as Richard finished speaking, the whole front was filled with fanatical cheers. Although the Holy Roman Empire had long-term discord and even hostility with the Holy See in history, it did not mean that her people were not devout Christians. , the set of religious encouragement works equally well for them.

As if responding to the enthusiastic cheers of the soldiers, eighteen artillery pieces tentatively fired into the dense fog one after another,

The continuous sound of guns made the soldiers more confident, and their eyes looking at the thick fog were full of flames eager to fight!

On the other side, the tentative shelling of the artillery was not ineffective every day. Amidst the roar of the rumbling artillery, the screams of the coalition soldiers before they died and the neighing of the war horses sounded from the place where a few shells landed, but these sounds were overwhelmed by the sound of the artillery. Cover up, did not pass into the ears of Richard's side.

As time passed, the artillery was still bombarding, but the frequency became noticeably thinner. Amidst the roar of the artillery, a strange sound came from the depths of the dense fog, accompanied by a slight tremor on the ground. The heavily armored sergeants thought it was the sound of the artillery firing, but soon they felt something was wrong!

Rumble——

As the ground trembled more and more violently, the voices hidden in the dense fog were finally heard clearly by the heavily armored soldiers in the front line, and their expressions immediately changed—this was clearly the movement of a large number of cavalry running at the same time!

"The enemy cavalry is coming! Formation! Formation!"

"Hedgehog formation! Quickly line up! If you don't want to die under the horse's hooves, hurry up!"

"Archers! Archers! Shoot into the fog! Shoot into the fog now!"

The stern roars of the officers came and went on the entire front. Immediately afterwards, the heavily armored sergeant company deployed at the forefront approached as quickly as possible, forming a circle of hedgehogs who were anti-riding, while the heavily armored sergeants deployed behind them It is to get close, put the spear on the shield, and aim at the passageway between the hedgehog circles, so as to prevent the enemy cavalry from passing through the passageway and continuing to rush into the army formation during the impact.

Behind them, teams of civilian archers ran quickly, and soon stopped behind the heavily armored sergeant Robe Ze, and then under the command of the officer, they drew their bows and drew their arrows, pulled the bowstring to the full moon, and aimed at the battle line from afar The thick fog ahead!

"Archers, shoot the arrows!"

Whoosh—

As soon as the officer finished speaking, a rain of black arrows soared from the crowd, crossed the battle line formed by the heavily armored soldiers, and flew deep into the thick fog. Howls and groans of war horses penetrate the fog!

This sudden rain of arrows caught the running coalition forces off guard and many were killed. The knights who were not shot were gritting their teeth and driving their horses to sprint forward at the fastest speed!

finally! Under the vigilant eyes of the heavy armored soldiers on the front line, countless coalition cavalrymen tore through the thick fog and charged them with overwhelming momentum!
