rise of empire total war

Chapter 196
The wedding date has not been fixed, and the rush of time is a big reason. Winter is not suitable for such a grand wedding, and as soon as spring enters, the war between Richard and the Republic of Cunya and the Alliance of the Principality of Lasik is very serious. It will explode soon, and the wedding can only be confirmed.

But what Richard wants is to be sure. After learning that Stephanie is famous, I believe that there is no blind guy who dares to think about Stephanie. If there is any, don't blame Richard for turning his face Well, with an army of nearly [-] systems, he is not afraid of war at all. In fact, the total number of troops he has is even unmatched by the surrounding countries.

On the other side, Queen Mary seemed very happy after learning the news of Richard's engagement. She had met her niece several times and had a good impression of her - of course, a large part of the impression was because Stephanie's appearance, after all, as long as you are beautiful, even shortcomings can turn into advantages, but as long as you are ugly, no matter how many advantages you have, as long as you have one shortcoming, you will still become miserable in the eyes of others.

this is the truth.

……

In a blink of an eye, the timeline turned to the middle of February. At this time, the temperature has begun to warm up, and the snow on the ground is gradually melting. The snow water seeps into the ground, or flows on the ground, and gathers together, eventually forming a small puddle .

On the border between the Kingdom of Winster and the Republic of Cunha, battles between the scouts of the two armies have become more frequent. Looking around, Winster wearing black and yellow military uniforms can be seen from time to time on this plain. The figure of the military scout cavalry and the scout of the Cunha Republic wearing green and white military uniforms. They rode fast horses and came and went here like the wind. After encountering them, they faced each other with swords.

In the battle between the scouts, the scout cavalry of Winster's army clearly had the upper hand. Although these scout cavalry were the lowest-level cavalry in the Danish army, they had already accumulated a wealth of experience following Richard's expeditions all the year round. Combat experience, so when fighting with Cunha scouts, they can usually defeat them with rich combat experience.

Whoosh!The sound of the spear tearing the air sounded in front of him. Before the young Cunya Republic scout could block it, the deadly iron spearhead went straight into his face, opening a bloody hole in his face, and was crushed. The blood-stained spearhead protruded from the back of the head, with some red and white brain matter stained on it.

With a retraction of the spear, the Cunya scout whose head had been pierced fell down from his horse and fell on the snow. The blood flowing from the door stained the surrounding white snow red. , It was as stunning as a plum blossom.But this astonishment didn't last long. After shaking off the blood on the spear, the scout cavalry reached out and took the ownerless horse, and left here. The snow surface is scattered.

This was the most common scene on this unnamed plain. In just one month, nearly 50 scouts from the Republic of Kunia died in battle. On the other hand, the Kingdom of Winster lost less than ten people.Such a large gap in the battle damage ratio caused the commander of the Republic of Cunya, Somjet Christian, a headache. He had to reduce the range of activities of the scouts, and had to operate in groups of several people to avoid being singled out.

Somjet Christian, as his surname indicates, he and Roger Christian, the Honorable Governor of the Republic, came from the same family. In terms of seniority, he and Roger are cousins.But this does not mean that Somjet became the commander-in-chief of the army by virtue of his connections. His ability is considered to be relatively outstanding among the generals in the country, so he did not receive much resistance at the meeting to select the commander-in-chief.

As the supreme commander of the entire army, Somjet only felt a heavy burden on himself, which made him dare not relax in the slightest. Most of the nearly 5000 people he led were standing troops, and a few were temporarily recruited citizens Soldiers (because the Republic's financial resources are rich, it can support a standing army of nearly 5000 people. However, military expenditures have remained high all year round, and the country's fiscal revenue has been decreasing year by year, which makes the parliament often dispute whether to continue to maintain such a large standing army).But the opponent they faced was the undefeated former Cuban army. Even if this terrifying army faced an enemy far more numerous than its own, it was not afraid and could still win.

"In the name of the great Magic Deer, I hope you can protect me and my army." Looking at the Magic Deer flag placed in the camp, Somjet prayed in a low voice.

Among the Dali countries that believe in the magic deer, the Republic of Kunia is the most devout country. Their national flags and military flags have the image of the magic deer tattooed on them. When marching and fighting, they will also hold high The deer statue (similar to the Roman eagle flag) to inspire the soldiers of the whole army.In order to protect this magic deer flag, they even set up a flag guard brigade, which is composed of the most elite soldiers in the army.

However, whether the phantom deer they believe in can protect them and win the battle is still unknown after all.

……

On March 1112th, 3 in the continental calendar, the spring of recovery came as scheduled. After nearly two months of confrontation, Charles, the commander of the second legion of the Kingdom of Winster, finally received an order from Richard—start attacking!
"Your Majesty has ordered the whole army to attack!"

"Gather! Gather! Prepare to attack!"

"You lazy pigs! Do you want me to kick your ass and send you to the battlefield!"

As soon as the war order was issued, the Winster Legion, which had been silent for two months, became lively like boiling water. Countless soldiers ran in the barracks, packed their belongings, and then were scolded by the officers and rushed to the school grounds to gather.

The entire army was like a well-oiled war machine. It ran at high speed and assembled within half an hour. They lined up in a neat square formation, held their heads high, and accepted their commander-in-chief's review.

Standing on the high platform, Charles, Earl of Sauron and Chief of Military Affairs, was dressed in exquisite armor, with brightly colored sideburns on his helmet, making him look like a fighting rooster.

"Soldiers of the empire!" Charles shouted loudly: "We have been here for two months, I believe you must be exhausted, the enemy is on a small hill outside the plain, but cannot attack But now, our great His Majesty Caesar has finally sent an attack order, and I will faithfully follow His Majesty Caesar's will and lead you to defeat the enemy and win the victory!"

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

"War! War! War!"

Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Charles slowly stretched out his hands and pressed against the void. Following his movements, the soldiers gradually became quiet, staring at this distinguished noble general with wide eyes.

"Soldiers, the enemy in front of us only has a pitiful 5000-odd soldiers. In comparison, how come our nearly [-] powerful soldiers cannot win the battle?

I have led you and His Majesty Caesar to fight against many enemies, and they all won brilliant victories in the end. This time is no exception. As long as you have my wisdom and your bravery, the victory must belong to us, to the empire, and to the great His Majesty Caesar. of! "

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

"Now, let's go, for the sake of the empire, for His Majesty Caesar, attack!"

　Happy winter solstice, everyone remembers the glutinous rice balls~
