Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 457: Battle of Pintus (1)

"The Winsters suffered a disastrous defeat in the Lumi Kingdom, and they are temporarily unable to take care of us. This is the best time to revolt!"

"A total of more than 8,000 people! All died in a foreign country in the Lumi Kingdom. What does this mean? It means that the Winster army is not as invincible as the rumors say. They are also human and will die!"

"We must rise up and resist! This is the land of the Lusinos, and this is the kingdom of the Lussinos. We cannot let the greedy Winsters override us!"

"Resist! Resist! Resist!"

...

The Kingdom of Lucino, oh no, the Lucino area, which should be called the Kingdom of Winster, is already undercurrents. They sent envoys to each other to discuss future changes, while expanding their power through various channels, trying to get a share of this chaotic time. In order to protect themselves, each town also formed a defense army under the leadership of the consul. The Winsters in this land fled with their belongings for safety. watermark ad test watermark ad test

On the other hand, Richard, who was far away in Nord City, still ordered the First Army headquarters stationed in the royal capital to go to the Luciano area to suppress the local riots. In order to completely put an end to the rebellion, he awarded the temporary commander of the First Army Duck Mann Braun's impromptu discretion allowed him to fire first in the face of commotion. As the first batch of students to graduate from the military academy, Duckman has been serving as Richard's adjutant and learned more military theory and experience. He was also appointed as the temporary commander of the legion by virtue of Richard's trust in him.

After sending Duckman and the First Army away, Richard locked himself in the study again. The battle reports sent from the front told him from various aspects that the shortcoming of the army was the long-range protection. Although it is simple and handsome, it is only a layer of cloth after all, and the protection against long-range arrows still depends on the armor that has been abandoned for many years. In order to reduce the loss, he decided to restart the use of armor, adding an extra layer of chain mail defense to the lining of the uniform for each soldier; in addition, the original military cap will also be replaced, replaced by something similar to a flying saucer The shape of the iron helmet, this helmet can defend against arrows falling from the sky and protect the soldier's head.

Although the helmet after the changeover is nondescript compared to the military uniform, who will notice this after the battle? As long as it's for survival, it doesn't matter how ugly it is.

A few days later, the envoys from the southern countries arrived in Nord City. Richard did not meet them personally, but asked the foreign minister to receive them on his behalf. Just as Richard expected, the southern countries offered to make peace, although Lumi The news of the disastrous defeat reached their ears on the way, but they could see the combat effectiveness of the southern Winster army, and they would not be swayed by this news, so they did not change their original decision and offered to surrender one after another.

In view of the urgency of the war in the north,

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ornus von Frank, agreed to the peace of all countries. Just like the past practice, the independence and autonomy of each vassal state was taken back, and 10% of the current tax was paid every year, and it was protected by the military protection of the suzerain state. After the contract was signed, part of the Third Army marched eastward, preparing to deal with the enemies who did not actively seek peace, and part of it returned north to help, trying to enter the area before the Lumi coalition army attacked Mabuku Territory.

However, the Lumi Allied Forces did not go south nor stationed in Lucino, but instead attacked the Pravia region through the Principality of Piloc. Or join the coalition. After learning of this situation, Karl and his party didn't care about being careful, and directly attacked a group of Pyloc cavalry, and then outstripped their horses and galloped to the north, rushing to tell the news before the coalition forces came. The commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Army, who was still confronting the Trikasi coalition forces, immediately sent an envoy to report to the military headquarters after learning about it, requesting reinforcements.

Pravia cannot fall, this is the consensus of all officers, and Matthias Horn, the commander of the Second Army, naturally thinks so, so he ordered the first brigade and the third brigade, which were still confronting the enemy on the front line, to be transferred The troops returned to aid, and regardless of the danger, they personally led the guards directly under the legion to Pravia. At the same time, the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Army far away in the Pecs area also marched south, trying to take advantage of the emptiness of the Trikasi Kingdom's troops to directly destroy their hometown, and a big battle is about to break out!

It is about the safety of Pravia, which has been reduced to the core territory of the kingdom. Every officer and soldier dare not relax their vigilance. They swear to God that the city is alive and the city is dead.

On July 28, 1125 in the continental calendar, it was sunny outside the city of Tus.

The weather at the end of July was extremely hot, and the intense sun baked the whole land, causing the plants exposed to the sun to droop their heads, lethargic and lifeless. Those Winster soldiers standing in the trenches were also not immune to the high temperature. They took off their military uniforms to reveal the white underwear inside, but even so, they were still sweating profusely. They almost wanted to take off all their clothes.

In order to defend the city of Tus, the 2nd Brigade built a long line of defense around the city of Tus, and forty artillery pieces were also scattered on each line of defense. With its abundant material reserves, the 2nd Brigade has killed a large number of enemy troops. On the open space leading to the position, even after cleaning and cleaning, you can still see the obvious brown shape of dried blood and the remains of flesh and blood buried in the soil on the ground in front of the position. Changed the strategy and used the method of confrontation to contain the second brigade.

Now, most of the troops of the Second Army are attracted to this area, facing off against the Lumi and Trikasi coalition forces who rushed here a few days ago. The brigades converged, so they could only camp on a high ground not far from the battlefield. To be on the safe side, the Lumi coalition army also camped around the abandoned village not far from the city of Tus, dispatched envoys to communicate with the friendly army, and was always ready to flank Winster's army.

"We have sufficient ammunition and a strong position. Whether it is a horse pit, barbed wire or horse refusal, we have deployed it. The enemy's cavalry cannot break through these lines of defense and rush directly into our position. Therefore, I think we should stick to it and wait for Huo The head of the En Army led the main force to fight over and join us."

"The Trikasi and Petrok are not easy to bully. If the army launches an attack on the enemy, the enemy in Nansen Village will definitely go to support them. In the field, the enemy's barbarian cavalry is very deadly to us. If the army is defeated because of this threat, the balance of victory will completely favor the enemy."

"We should take the initiative to attack! Contact the military headquarters and jointly attack the Tricaxi coalition forces, but in order to prevent the Nansen enemy from coming to support, we also need an army to set up an ambush on the road to delay the speed of the enemy's support!"

In the headquarters of the second brigade, from the proposals of the adjutants, the commander made the final decision!
