rise of empire total war

Chapter 557

"Our army will win this battle."

Riding his horse to inspect the front of the army formation, the commander of the Viginia army, Triton Salas, said loudly. He was wearing a light chain mail and a burqa with the family crest on it. Wearing a helmet, revealing a head of long golden hair, and that handsome adult male face.

Traton Salas was born in the most famous military family in the Republic of Viginia. His father, Marcelino Salas, was the most admired general in the Republic. He once defeated the Acarnanian Alliance by himself. With the invasion of the coalition forces of several other countries, he even almost counterattacked and broke the enemy's capital. If the House of Representatives hadn't dragged his feet and ordered him to retreat and negotiate peace with the enemy, then he might still be able to scrape a piece of meat for the enemy.

Since then, Marcelino Salas has become the hero of the whole country. With the support of the people, he entered the parliament and became the consul of the republic. live the rest of my life.Although his father's reputation was damaged, Trutton still entered the parliament with the connections left by his father and ran for military consul.

A few years have passed, and his term of office will soon end, but because of his lack of military exploits, his position is in jeopardy, and he is likely to lose in the next election, so he needs to use this war to make meritorious service to consolidate his position and fight for the next one. Running for re-election.

In a sense, he was also one of the promoters of this war.

……

"...Warriors of Viginia, our numbers far outnumber them, and great victories are always born from such a small gap." Looking at the heavy infantry standing in the first row, Traton Continue to say loudly, "My father once led you, or your fathers defeated the coalition forces of the Acarnanian Alliance and almost destroyed their allies. This is a great achievement. Today, I will lead You defeated the army of the Holy Roman Empire—unified the Valdasian Peninsula, defeated the mighty enemies of the Kuyawi Empire, don’t be afraid of their great reputation, in fact, under the protection of the God of War, we will be invincible!”

"Eighteen years ago, in this place, my father, General Marcelino Salas, led the army of the Republic to a decisive battle with the army of the Acarnanian Alliance. We were outnumbered in that battle, but we finally won the victory. Now, our numbers are superior, and we even have unprecedentedly powerful armored heavy cavalry, how can we not win? How can we not follow the example of our fathers and become the heroes of the Republic?"

"Soldiers of the Republic! In today's battle, I will personally lead the heavy cavalry to charge the enemy, turn our cavalry into sharp knives, tear apart the defenses of the Holy Roman Empire, and let our infantry turn into an irresistible flood, destroying the Holy Roman Empire. The empire's shattered defenses are broken!"

After saying that, he pulled out his sword abruptly, held it up high, looked at the blade reflecting the dazzling light under the sunlight, and roared angrily: "The God of War is with us! Our army will surely win!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

The cries of thousands of republican troops almost made the world pale. The imperial army in the barracks on the other side was a little disturbed after hearing this movement, especially the soldiers of the auxiliary army. They had a slight disturbance and were quickly suppressed by the nearby gendarmerie. .

Seeing the reaction of the soldiers, Norman gritted his teeth and decided to stand up. He stood a few steps on top of a pile of ammunition boxes, let the soldiers around him look at him, and said loudly: "Brothers, I know you What to be afraid of, but there is no need, for we will have the last victory, in the name of God, we will have the last victory!"

"The enemy army is far more numerous than us, but what does it matter? Our soldiers are elite and our weapons are advanced and sophisticated. Even the strongest city walls are as fragile as paper in front of our artillery. Not to mention the flesh and blood of those who are human beings like us!"

Hearing this, the soldiers became energetic one after another. Yes, the muskets in their hands and the cannons behind them are magical weapons, which are more advanced and powerful than the Viginia army on the opposite side. What are you afraid of?

Seeing that the soldiers were energetic, Norman continued to shout: "Brothers, look at the double-headed eagle badge on your helmets. Don't shame the eagle flag and the emperor because of your actions!"

"Now, grab your muskets and prepare to fight!"

……

On the other side, Tratton has assembled [-] heavy cavalry in the army. He looked at these knights from various noble families in the republic, and his heart was full of tension for war. He gripped his sword tightly and said in a deep voice: "Knights, I We will charge together with you, for the sake of the Republic, we will win!"

"For the Republic!"

After saying that, he rode forward, took the helmet handed over by the attendant beside him, and put it on slowly. His helmet was an ordinary cavalry helmet with a nose guard, and on the top of his head was a red mane that symbolized his status as an officer, fluttering in the wind. .

After putting on the helmet, he raised the sword in front of him, kissed the blade lightly, then pointed the sword at the Imperial Army barracks, roaring: "Attack!"

woo-

Amidst the melodious sound of horns, eight hundred cavalry followed Tratton slowly. The heavy cavalry in heavy scale armor walked at the forefront. They would be the main force of the charge. There is no need for the cavalry to continue charging, because they will all die on the way of charging-this is Traton's gamble, a gamble!
Rumble-

At the beginning, the war horses just walked slowly. As the distance shortened, their speed became faster and faster, from jogging to fast running, and even the speed continued to increase.The approach of the Viginia cavalry caused the artillery deployed in the barracks to roar. A large number of black shells roared down from the sky and fell into the cavalry formation. Although they were wearing heavy scale armor, they could not resist the bombardment of the shells. He slammed into the crowd, smashed a knight in the middle, and then continued to castrate, breaking the lower limbs of the horse behind him. The horse neighed and fell forward, and also threw the knight on his back heavily, and fell to the ground. fainted.

The artillery of the imperial army caused a lot of casualties to the Viginia heavy cavalry, but this did not interrupt their charge. Under the order of Traton, the [-] heavy cavalry gradually formed a huge cone in the process of running. The formation, with Traton as the head, attempted to directly penetrate the defense line of the imperial army!

However, just after the heavy cavalry rushed into the range of the muskets, the soldiers deployed behind the trenches and wooden walls opened fire amidst the roars of the officers. into the air.

The moment he saw a burst of flames exploding in front of him, Tratton's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously tightened the reins in his hands. After the horse suffered pain, he immediately neighed and stood up, exposing his fragile abdomen to the muzzles of the imperial soldiers. Immediately afterwards, several blood flowers exploded in front of the war horse, and fell down heavily with a groan, pressing Tradun under him.

The heavy cavalry in the charge didn't care about this, they maintained the fastest speed, and rushed towards the imperial army's defense line with red eyes!
