Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 358: A Decisive Battle

Woo--

Amidst the passionate sound of musical instruments, the fully armed Winster soldiers walked into the gate of Katonita City in an orderly manner with their heads held high and their chests high. On both sides of the street, there are expressionless citizens. Although they are forced to gather together to welcome the so-called "Master Wang", they have ten thousand dissatisfaction in their hearts, but they dare not express it with practical actions. Facial expressions express the emotions in the heart.

However, the Winster soldiers don't care about their feelings. These soldiers who captured almost all of the Catonita army only care about what they can get. The expedition to the Osa Peninsula is not only their mission, but also allows them to make a lot of money That's why they have such great fighting spirit.

However, they were somewhat dissatisfied with the disposal of the nearly 2,000 Catonita soldiers they captured. According to the past tradition, the prisoners of war would be sold to slave merchants, and most of the ransom would be handed over to the royal family, and the rest would be distributed to the army. Every soldier in the army, although everyone can get a lot of money, but they are already very satisfied.

But now, I don’t know which bastard came up with the idea. These prisoners of war will not be sold as slaves, but will be released unconditionally and handed over to the Catonita city-state council that has surrendered-all the council needs to do is to re-equip this army Army, as auxiliaries to the Winster Expedition against their erstwhile allies.

Of course, it is impossible for the commander of this auxiliary army to be commanded by the generals of the Catonitas themselves. All the ten generals who originally commanded were driven home. The new commander will be Prince Felice, perhaps out of monitoring him. Because of this reason, Charles also sent two Winster officers as his deputy, in order to avoid Prince Phyllis' blind command to sabotage the event.

In addition to the complete takeover of the army, the Catonita people's parliament was also affected. The few congressmen who originally advocated resistance were confessed. As a result, Winster soldiers who were not at all democratic and free came to check the water meter. They were all dragged to the streets to show the public, and all their property was confiscated. The vacancies of these members who became homeless beggars overnight were quickly filled by new people. As the Winster-dominated parliament, the new members are also pro-Winster Kingdom people.

There is a saying that the most easily controlled country in the world is this kind of parliamentary country. When a certain force controls more than half of its parliamentarians, then this force can easily influence national policies and further control Entire country. And Charles thinks so, and does so. He either threatens or lures him, and controls most of the parliament step by step.

On the sixth day after the fall of the city-state of Katonita, the coalition forces of the city-state of Puro and Tarossus arrived late, built a line of defense behind the border, and sent envoys to negotiate with the commander of the Winsters. The attack speed is beyond their imagination. The fact that the Kingdom of Lyctus lasted for only half a day can be explained by being caught off guard by a surprise attack, and the fall of the city-state of Catonita can also be explained by a tactical mistake. Neither of these can explain the strength of the Winsters, but the difference in numbers between the two armies Putting it there, it is better to avoid war as much as possible.

However, their negotiating intentions were directly rejected. With great strength, Charles didn't even bother to negotiate with the enemy, and he had no right to negotiate peace with the enemy without King Richard's instruction. Therefore, Charles not only rejected the Prussian coalition's request for negotiation, but also directly submitted a decisive battle letter, and the opponent will fight in the Katonita Plain about two days later to determine the outcome.

Regarding the decisive battle letter submitted by the Winsters, the camp of the general city-state coalition army quickly became a quarrel. The ten generals sent by the two city-states each had their own ideas. In a decisive battle to the death, some advocated not being able to avoid the battle, relying on the built defense line to resist the enemy's attack, but the latter's forces were obviously at a disadvantage, because in the eyes of these radical generals, the cowardly behavior of not being able to avoid the battle was a loss of dignity and glory.

Although according to the current strength ratio, avoiding the battle is the most correct way,

But how could these proud generals compromise? They quarreled loudly and their faces were red. In the end, the main combat faction prevailed. Through the most traditional voting method, the coalition forces will go to the Catonita Plain in two days. Decisive battle with the enemy.

As soon as the voting results came out, the generals of the main battle faction cheered one after another. They high-fived each other and insulted those cowards in their eyes with laughter. The ending is very bad, and there is a high chance of failure.

...

Considering that his side is the "host", Charles led the army to set up a formation on the pre-selected battlefield early on. Under his deployment, the most elite heavy armored soldiers in the army were deployed on the left flank. The heavy infantry with round shields and spears is the place where the combat pressure is the greatest; the second is the spear sergeants deployed in the central army, and the combat pressure here is not small; the last is the auxiliary army commanded by Prince Phyllis. The task is only to stick to the enemy's heavy infantry phalanx with the Chinese army, and when the imperial knights who act as hammers go around the enemy's back, they can cooperate with the heavy cavalry to smash the enemy's phalanx in one fell swoop.

In addition, Charles has another good thing that he is ready to give the Prussian Allied Forces a try, and that is the firearms battalion accompanying the army. The artillery, advanced smoothbore guns and soil grenades equipped with the firearms battalion have not been used on the battlefield on a large scale (previously It is basically only in the siege battle that you can make achievements), especially the earth grenade and the gunpowder arrow equipped with the archer, which have not seen blood since they were invented. Therefore, one of the purposes of Charles's expedition across the sea is to let gunpowder weapons be used on the battlefield and see their effects.

The generals and soldiers of the Pro-Prussian Allied Forces didn't know what they were about to face. They were slowly entering the arena at this time, forming a tight square formation one after another on the open plain. In front of them, they are light infantry composed of free people and poor people. They are equipped with small wooden round shields and javelins. They have only one task, which is to throw all the javelins in their hands at the enemy.
