Rise of the Empire Total War

In the Kunia area of ​​the Kingdom of Winster, the flames of war were ignited with the invasion of the army of the Kingdom of Delj. They were menacing, but they were blocked by the second army that had been prepared for a long time. The two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

It is not true that there is a stalemate. The second army was ordered by Richard to divide into two brigades of spear militias and two brigades of Nordic swordsmen (a total of eleven companies, one brigade with six companies, and the other brigade) five companies), one foot feudal knight battalion, two crossbowman militia battalions (eight companies, one battalion had four companies), two Nordic archer battalions (six companies, one battalion had three companies) and one feudal knight The brigade (four companies) is stationed in the Cunha area and is ready to attack at any time. Although these troops add up to only 4180 people, the strength of half a legion, they can easily repel the enemy's offensive when they meet the invading enemy.

After all, the invading army of the Kingdom of Delj was almost half the size of the half legion.

Although the army of the Kingdom of Delj was smaller than the Second Army, due to the lack of generals, this half of the army just stubbornly carried out Richard's order and confronted the enemy at the border.

All this was not changed until the Danish general Toolagris, who was in Prange, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Cunha area. Advocating offensiveism in his bones, he ordered the whole army to attack as soon as he arrived at the front line. In his eyes, his own side has a numerical advantage, and the quality of the soldiers is also higher than that of the Delzhi people. War is introduced into enemy land.

And he did exactly that. Under his leadership, the Legion launched an attack on the Derj Kingdom Army's garrison. Without prior ascertainment of information, the Derz people were caught off guard, suffered heavy losses, and were forced to retreat. And Tooragris took advantage of the victory to pursue and chased all the way into the border of the Kingdom of Delj, becoming the first big victory won by the United Kingdom of Winster-Ravana. Of course, these are things for later.

While the flames of war ignited from the north to the east, the west, which is the main battlefield, was eerily peaceful. After the war was declared, the Kingdom of Pravia did not rush to go out, but instead gathered its troops in a battle with the Kingdom of Winster, the Kingdom of Lu. On the border of the Kingdom of Sino, waiting for the coalition forces to arrive.

In addition, the silver mine located in the territory of Sukenya was also attacked. As one of the goals of this war, the silver mine will undoubtedly be attacked by the coalition forces. until it fell.

Also because of the special location of the silver mine, on the first day of the official declaration of war, the silver mine was surrounded by the army of Pravia Kingdom. Looking at the black heads outside the wall, the two highest-ranking brigade commanders in Sukenya Silver Mine looked downcast. The war broke out so suddenly that they couldn't prepare in advance and could only rush to meet the enemy.

On the ground outside the wall, besides the soldiers of Pravia Kingdom, there were dozens of corpses of civilians living in the silver mine.

These civilians were the refugees from Rigin Principality that Richard had previously recruited in the Ossiig Territory.

When they were escorted here, all the grown men and strong women were made into miners, while the rest worked within the walls of the silver mines, or gathered food in the forest. The corpses that fell on the ground belonged to the collection team. They failed to escape after encountering the enemy, but were brutally killed.

Vitale, you go to appease the emotions of the civilians inside the wall, and I will be responsible for deploying soldiers to fight.

Looking at the enemy outside, Torres Leger, the commander of the Third Sergeant Brigade, who was lined with exquisite chain mail and wore a black and yellow burqa, said in a deep voice to his partner, who nodded in agreement after listening, saying: : Torres, with the soldiers of our two brigades guarding it, it is impossible for the farmers outside who have just walked out of the farmland to win.

I know this very well, Vitaly. Torres said, Your civilian archer brigade and my heavy sergeant brigade are more than enough to guard this silver mine. The only thing I worry about is the battle outside There are also materials in the silver mine.

Wars and supplies outside? Vitaly Karesin, the commander of the Second Civilian Archers Brigade, asked back. He quickly understood what his partner meant, but before he could say it, he heard a long and low voice from outside the wall. The sound of the horn--that is the signal for the attack of the Pravians!

It's too late to explain, Vitali. Upon hearing the sound of the horn, Torres pulled out the sword at his waist reflexively. After saying this to his partner, he raised the sword high , roared: Soldiers of the brigade, assemble! Prepare to meet the enemy!

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Third Heavy Armed Sergeant Brigade and the Second Civilian Archer Brigade, who had already been dressed in the silver mine wall, trotted all the way, and formed a neat square formation behind the wall. With desire and anticipation for the battle to come.

Of course, anticipation is mostly the emotion of a recruit who hasn't been on the battlefield a few times.

Heavily armored sergeants go to their combat posts, and civilian archers stand ready to shoot!

yes!

The soldiers responded in unison, and then ran to the combat post at the fastest speed. The soldiers of the heavily armored sergeant brigade stood behind the wooden wall stacks, and their eyes were fixed on the enemy who was advancing with the horn. The civilian archers kept their formation. They took out a few arrows from the quiver at their waists and inserted them on the not very hard ground inside the wall to facilitate the use of arrows in the next battle of defending the city.

At the same time as the soldiers entered the combat positions, the civilians inside the wall were summoned by Vitaly Karesin, the commander of the Second Civilian Archer Brigade, and settled in the barracks of the barracks to avoid the fire, which was also for their safety. , no one wants to see them die in battle due to some accident.

On the fence, looking at the enemies gradually entering the range of the civilian archers, and looking at the soldiers with high fighting spirit under his command, Commander Torres raised his sword again and encouraged him loudly: Soldiers of the Empire, we are in the midst of enemy fire. Surrounded by enemies, true warriors will not be discouraged by this, but become more courageous as they fight, crushing any enemy who dares to offend the glory of the empire!

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Civilian Archers Brigade, prepare to shoot!

call!

Listening to Torres's order, the commoner archers drew their bows and drew their arrows reflexively, pulled the bowstring to the full moon, and aimed at the sky. Immediately afterwards, Torres shouted again: The elevation angle is 45°, keep moving and keep up, Free fire!

whoosh whoosh—

As soon as he finished speaking, a round of arrow rain rose from behind the wall, flew into the air, and then drew a black arc in the sky, roaring and falling into the advancing Pravia army, although most of them were killed The shields raised by the soldiers blocked it, but some soldiers were still shot down.

The first battle of the western battlefield, and also the first battle of this war, thus kicked off!
