Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 37 The decisive battle in Xinlan Plain

On April 25, 1105 in the continental calendar, Xinlan Plain.

The Ramirez kingdom's army retreating from the city of Mattidot was intercepted by the Ravana who were waiting in full battle. They had no choice but to defeat the enemy.

In addition to losing most of the mercenaries, the Ramirez army was left with the kingdom's standing army and conscripts brought by various nobles. Among them, there are only more than 500 royal standing troops, nearly a thousand militia conscripted from various places, and fully armed nobles, knights, and knight attendants who are truly capable of fighting in the First World War. That's all.

Compared with the army composition of the Ramirez people, the army of the Kingdom of Ravana has not changed much, and it can be said to be evenly matched.

According to the usual practice, the two warring parties must first send envoys to explain the identity of the commander of the army to the enemy, and give the other party a gift-this gift can be anything, even if it is a woman's clothing, the other party can only accept it happily.

And through the time of the envoy's negotiation, the commanders of both sides unanimously encouraged their loyal soldiers.

The aged King Harlaus wore the exquisite armor that he had experienced decades of battle with, held high the sword of power, rode horses and trots with the guards before the army formation, and began to make speeches before the battle. So did King Waco.

"Today is a day for the boys to make contributions. Today is a day that none of us can forget."

"Here, in the fertile land known as the Plains of Sinran, we shall fight against the invaders - the Ramirez people, they were once respected neighbors, and I have great respect for their country, their land, Their people, however, they chose war, and brought the war to our country, our land, and our people!"

"They brutally occupied the Kingdom's Cork Territory, and also attempted to occupy our Mafugat Territory. Thanks to Huanlu, their evil deeds will be ended by us here!"

"Warriors of the kingdom, hold your weapons tightly, puff up your chests, join me and your king, and fight for the kingdom!"

"Fight for the kingdom!"

"Fight for the kingdom!"

"..."

Listening to the cheers of the soldiers, King Harlaus seemed to have regained the feeling of his youth. He swallowed his saliva, looked at the opposite Ramirez army, and had the confidence to win in his heart.

"Attack! Let our iron hooves crush the Ramirez!"

"Woo--"

The moment the envoy returned to the army formation, the horn of attack sounded from the rear of the army formation, and the cavalry troops deployed in advance by King Halaus advanced slowly—these cavalry were all cavalry in the Royal Army, including Richard and Including his system troops, the total number reached more than 800 people.

This is the usual tactic of King Harlaus. The cavalry of the whole army is concentrated to launch a powerful charge against the enemy. After tearing the enemy's infantry defense line, the infantry that follows will attack along the gap and directly destroy the enemy's formation.

The cavalry troops of the Kingdom of Ravana located in the plains are also considered to be among the best in the entire Vardasia Peninsula, and this is the reliance of King Harlaus.

step-step-step-

The movement of more than 800 cavalry advancing at the same time made the Ramirez people a little flustered, and the horses under the crotch of a small number of cavalry also began to shake their heads uneasily and paw the ground with their hooves.

"Array! Array!"

"Spearmen line up, archers step forward!"

Amidst the roars of the officers, the archer equipped with only one bow passed through the crowd and stood at the front, then drew three sharp arrows from the quiver at his waist, stuck them in the soft ground under his feet, and drew the arrows with the bow at the same time, preparing to shooting. Behind them, Ramirez soldiers armed with spears and shields quickly formed a tight anti-cavalry shield formation.

"Woo--"

While the Ramires were in formation, the low-pitched horn sounded again from the Ravana cavalry army, and then,

More than 800 cavalry accelerated their running speed, bringing up smoke and dust in the sky!

Facing the charging momentum of the huge cavalry unit, the Ramirez archers standing in the front became tense, and many of them even temporarily lost the strength to draw the bowstring.

"Take it easy, get ready to shoot!"

"Keep up the attack speed and follow up, 45° elevation angle, release the arrow!"

The officer among the archers yelled loudly, and immediately slashed forward with the sword in his hand. As soon as he finished speaking, the fingers of the archers reflexively let go, and a round of arrow rain flew into the sky, whizzing towards the running La Vannes cavalry!

"Raise the shield! Charge!"

The leading military chief, Bandak, shouted loudly, and the eight hundred cavalry immediately raised their shields to defend against the arrows falling from the sky. But the cavalry shield was not enough to protect the knight and his horse, and some unlucky ones were shot by arrows, making deliberate screams. What's more, the war horse was shot, neighed terribly, then stalled and fell to the ground, throwing the knight on the ground to the ground. Before the latter had time to get up, he was trampled by the following war horse.

Although they were hit by the rain of arrows from the Ramirez people, they still couldn't shake their desire to charge. They could only desperately lower their bodies and push their horses, in order to rush to the enemy's phalanx faster.

Soon, they saw the panicked face of the Ramirez archer on the opposite side, and the retreating figure in a panic.

"Charge! Put down the lance and crush them!"

Finally, at a distance of only ten meters from Ramirez's men, the cavalry commander Bandac roared sharply, and all the heavy cavalry immediately leveled their lances and charged violently under the terrified eyes of the Ramirez soldiers!

?boom! Suddenly, the earth seemed to tremble. The Ravana cavalry slammed into the Ramirez defense line like the Great Wall of Steel. The next moment, the shield was split and people died. Many Ramirez soldiers were knocked over and flew. Terrible screams came. The bodies of the soldiers were trampled into flesh by the horses. The cavalry charged headlong into the second line of defense.

Their progress can only reach the second line of defense. At the cost of killing almost all the soldiers on the first line of defense, the Ramirez people still blocked the charge of the Ravana cavalry with their flesh and blood, but they couldn't quickly launch a counterattack. The surviving soldiers collapsed instantly, screaming and fleeing in all directions, even affecting the soldiers behind.

Before the Ramirez's follow-up attack started, the Ravana cavalry quickly transferred their horses under the order of Bandak and retreated, leaving only a chaotic and fragmented infantry line of defense and a dead body.

At this moment, the infantry of the Kingdom of Ravana followed closely. They led by the heavy infantry of the royal standing army, and went straight to the fragmented enemy formation!
