Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 284 Chain Cavalry Charge

In the evening of the same day, the messenger sent by Derek rushed to the city of Tus and reported the situation of the ambush to Richard. The latter was very happy after hearing this, and generously rewarded the messenger. Although he was mentally prepared from what Charles mentioned, Richard would still be very happy if it really happened.

Richard also noticed that in addition to the good news, Derek also suggested that he send troops to chase down the fleeing coalition army. Although this army only has more than 2,000 people, it has experienced new defeats and cannot pose much threat to Richard. , but to be on the safe side, Richard still decided to let Magnus lead the two chain mail cavalry companies in the legion to pursue and kill the enemy. It is more appropriate to let the four-legged cavalry do it.

The next day, Magnus led the army in pursuit. He judged based on the marching traces on the ground, and after a day of investigation, he managed to catch up with the defeated army outside a manor. At this time, more than two thousand soldiers were besieging Although he didn't know what their purpose was in that manor, Magnus ordered the attack immediately.

Six hundred chain armored cavalry formed a long snake array in the distance. They looked at the coalition soldiers in battle calmly, until someone in the coalition army discovered their existence and howled to warn the people around them. The alerted soldiers withdrew one after another, forming formations in horror, intending to resist the sudden appearance of the enemy's cavalry—however, this was destined to be useless.

"Attack! Crush them!"

Magnus let out a loud roar, then put down the visor on his helmet, and the six hundred cavalry immediately advanced slowly. Although their movements were not in a hurry, the coercion they exerted on the opposite side was still very great. Seeing these cavalrymen holding conical heavy cavalry guns, there was a commotion in the coalition forces. They have not forgotten that these heavy cavalry were among the enemies who rushed out of the city of Tus when they evacuated Tus, and it was precisely because of their charge , so many soldiers died in the battalion.

Tread Tread——

The hooves of the horses beat the hearts of the coalition soldiers like drums, making them tremble. In the queue, many soldiers were pale, their legs trembled, and they couldn't even hold their shields and weapons tightly. There was a faint smell of urine in the air, which was the product of the incontinence of timid soldiers.

vomit--

In the queue, a soldier couldn't help but bend over and vomit because of the intense tension. His voice affected the soldiers next to him, causing several vomiting soldiers to appear in the queue like a plague. The officer standing at the front frowned slightly. Frowning, he turned his head and glanced at the other party. The latter just straightened up and wiped away the vomit remaining at the corner of his mouth. Seeing the officer looking at him, he hurriedly prepared for battle. Seeing this, the officer did not utter a word of reprimand, but glanced at the other soldiers , he was also very nervous. The cavalry of the Winsters had always been sharp, which was generally recognized among the coalition forces.

"Dense, dense shield array!"

The officer shouted loudly,

Although he didn't notice the trembling in his words, the soldiers around him could feel it. The desire to survive in their hearts made them follow orders and gather together. The soldiers in the front row suppressed the fear in their hearts, half-kneeled on the ground, and raised their shields obliquely to cover His own body, the spear sticks out from the gap between the shields, and the soldiers in the second row abandon the bulky shields and put the spears on the shield of the previous comrade. They watched in horror as they got closer The heavy cavalry, his calf twitched violently.

"Hold on! Hold on! As long as we stick to our posts, we will survive!"

Obviously aware of the strangeness of the soldiers, the officer encouraged them loudly, but it didn't have much effect, and at this moment, the advancing mail cavalry had already begun to increase their speed and began to trot!

"Bow, archers get ready!"

Hearing the officer's shout, the remaining archers in the army hurried out of the shield formation. They swallowed their saliva, drew their bows and drew their arrows, and aimed at the trotting enemy cavalry, but their hands were shaking violently. Powerful arrows!

"shooting!"

Just after the chain armor cavalry entered the range of the bow and arrow, a round of sparse arrows soared from the front of the coalition shield formation. These arrows were so weak that they fell into the running chain armor after drawing a trajectory in the air. The cavalry, but they were all blocked by the shields raised by the knights, and only a few arrows hit the eyes of the running horses, causing the horses to fall down in pain, and the knights on their backs were thrown out heavily, falling off the backs of the running horses. Come out, their ending is doomed.

"Speed ​​up, charge!"

After a few rounds of arrows, the chain armored cavalry finally entered the charging state. Amid Magnus's mournful roar, six hundred chain armored cavalry raised the speed of their horses to the highest speed, and then put them down on their shoulders. With their terrifying battle roars, six hundred heavy cavalry collided head-on with the tight shield formed by coalition soldiers!

In the next moment, people turned on their backs, their shields were destroyed, and countless soldiers were knocked down by the horses that collided head-on. They flew several meters away. Then it was automatically shattered by the recoil force. Immediately afterwards, the knights quickly put down their lances, drew out their sabers at their waists, and slashed left and right in the crowd, beheading enemies within the attack range under their horses.

The power of a horse charging at high speed is like the impact of a truck driving at high speed, not to mention the charge of 600 cavalry. The first row of half-kneeling coalition soldiers almost died on the spot. There may be no obvious signs of death on their bodies. However, their sacrifices were not in vain. Their spears also pierced the soft abdomen of several horses, causing the knights on them to fly off the horses, and then they were killed by soldiers. A retaliatory attack, or being trampled into flesh by the charging horses.

But of what use was the loss of a few soldiers to the Winsters? Under the charge of the chain armored cavalry, the coalition defense line was easily torn apart like butter cut by a hot sharp knife. Not only that, after tearing the defense line, the knights drew their swords to kill the enemy, recklessly harvesting those whose morale fell The coalition soldiers at the bottom of the valley flew into the air one after another with their big heads, their stumps and broken arms also flew wantonly, and the bloody red water sprinkled the whole land.

Then, the coalition collapsed.

Amidst the heart-piercing screams, these coalition soldiers completely lost their confidence in resistance. The continuous defeats made them unwilling to fight. This time they dared to face the Winster cavalry for survival, but the opponent The fighting power of the army was really strong, and it became the last straw that broke the camel's camel, causing them to be defeated like a mountain.

"Kill! Hunt them down! Send all enemies to hell!"

Magnus roared, in his field of vision, the mail cavalry seemed to be possessed by killing gods, beheading any living enemy in sight!
