Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 434 The Battle of Arcas (5)

The charge of the grenadiers directly defeated the Balaria coalition forces that rushed through the first trench. Even though the latter's officers tried their best to block the retreating routs, it was still useless. Jia Du had no choice but to be dragged back by the rout. Although he was very unwilling, but in the face of an avalanche-like rout, he alone was irreparable.

However, on the way to retreat, he noticed that outside the frontal battlefield where everyone's attention was focused, a large group of barbarian cavalry bypassed the frontal battlefield in two ways and charged the two wings of Winster's army. It turned out that among the cavalry attacking the right wing, the wolf-headed banner of the barbarian leader Kurban was held high-Kurban actually led the charge himself.

Seeing this, Maruna Rajineja's heart ignited hope, he stopped the pace of retreat, turned his horse's head to look at the grenadiers who were chasing, although those well-trained elite soldiers were terrified of them. There was a lot of pressure, but he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't retreat! Don't retreat! Our friendly cavalry are attacking the Winster flanks, don't retreat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers around who heard the shouts stopped one after another. They followed the general's words and looked towards the two wings with lingering surprise. Seconds later, he made another move to retreat, and Maruna hurriedly shouted again: "Soldiers, muster up your courage, and charge with me again! Even the group of barbarian cavalry are charging, but you are retreating!" , are you willing to be ridiculed by those savage barbarians after the war? If you are willing, then you retreat!"

After finishing speaking, he took off the covering mask again, and was about to drive the horse back to the battlefield. Except for those knights and knight servants who valued honor, the rest of the soldiers did not move, but watched their generals and noble knights we move forward. I don't know how long it took, a soldier in the crowd seemed to have made up his mind, clenched the weapon in his hand, and followed with a firm expression. With the first person taking the lead, the second, third... More and more people Follow General Maruna back into battle.

The sudden counterattack of the defeated soldiers surprised the grenadiers, and their pursuit stagnated slightly, but they quickly reacted, followed the officer's order to speed up their pace, straightened their bayonets, and rushed towards the coalition forces.

"Kill! Kill them!"

The leading company commander roared angrily. Before engaging in the battle, he raised his flintlock pistol in his left hand and pulled the trigger at the enemy in front of him. With a crisp bang, the enemy fell to the ground. The gunshot seemed to turn on a mysterious switch. The soldiers behind him straightened their muskets with bayonets on them, and rushed towards the enemy after a battle cry.

The next moment, the two armies fought, and the sharp bayonets easily pierced through the armor of the coalition soldiers who rushed to the front under the vigorous stabbing of the grenadiers, tearing the opponent's flesh and blood, and overthrowing them entirely. The fierce shield attack of the coalition soldiers also knocked the grenadier down. Before the latter struggled to get up, the deadly sword fell, taking away the fragile life.

In close combat,

The knights in heavy armor in the coalition army are undoubtedly the most difficult enemies. The bayonet stabbed by the grenadiers hits the armor surface and leaves at most a white spot on it, or it is directly bounced off by the armor, failing to succeed in a single blow Before the soldier retracted his musket, the knight's sharp sword swung down, cutting off the soldier's arm, and blood gushed out instantly. With a scream, the sharp sword swung again, and a ferocious human head flew up.

The heroic performance of the knight master inspired those soldiers and gave them the courage to contend with the enemy. Seeing their support, arrows and javelins flew together for a while, and the advancing line infantry fell down, and they were forced to stop and fight back in place.

At the same time, the barbarian cavalry on the two wings also entered the charge state. Inspired by the leader's banner, they fought furiously and beat their horses desperately to speed up the charge. The knights in the front row held their lances tightly , or waving a sharp scimitar high up, the knights in the back row even drew bows and arrows while the horses were running, and shot at the infantry who formed a tight phalanx with the help of skilled riding. The charge of the large group of cavalry was unstoppable and menacing. The soldiers in the phalanx turned pale and their legs were weak, and they retreated one after another. They haven't rushed in front of them yet, but fear has filled the entire flanking phalanx.

"Charge! Crush them!"

The barbarian leader Kurban who rushed to the front roared loudly, and the cavalry behind him also roared like wild beasts. Immediately afterwards, the barbarian cavalry ran into Winster's servants and Swachic head-on with overwhelming momentum. The phalanx of Wang's army knocked these frightened soldiers into the air. The tall horses under the crotch of the cavalry were almost unstoppable. Any soldier who dared to block his running path would be ruthlessly trampled by the horses. Some soldiers even fell to the ground like a broken kite after being knocked several meters into the air. With the momentum of the horse running, the sharp scimitar can easily break through the defense of the armor and cut off the bones of the spine. A large number of soldiers' stumps and arms are flying in the air, and a bloody storm is set off on the flanks of Winster's army.

Soon, the servant army on the two wings and the Swachic allied army were disintegrated. No one could survive the violent charge of the barbarian cavalry indifferently. Everyone did what they thought was the most correct way-turn around and run away. Abandon the line of defense, abandon honor, and also abandon dignity.

Even if they chose to escape, they still could not avoid the harvest of the god of death. The barbarian cavalry who broke through the line of defense took advantage of the victory to pursue them, easily caught up with them, and killed these soldiers from behind in the most humiliating way (for soldiers, It is the most disgraceful way to die with your back upside down and being killed from behind), what barbarian cavalrymen like most is the killing of reaping routs after battles, whenever an enemy is beheaded, the blood splattered can make them fall into gaochao.

However, this pleasant time was quickly ended by the Winsters. The three companies deployed in advance on the flanks were destroyed almost instantly when they saw the line of defense. Surprised, they quickly lined up and shot at the barbarian cavalry. Those barbarian cavalry who were chasing and killing the rout were unprepared, and were directly hit by a series of volleys. Many cavalry were killed on the spot, and the rest fell into a short period of chaos and soon found their attackers, and then cursed loudly Abandon those defeated soldiers who are as insignificant as ants, and kill the line infantry.
