Rise of the Empire Total War

Hold your ground! For the empire! For His Majesty Caesar!

Long Live Germany!

The charge of the Moorish pirates surged like a tide, hitting the flesh and blood dam formed by the Holy Roman Empire army.

Facing enemies that were several times their own, the soldiers loyal to Richard were not afraid. They held up their shields to defend against the pirates' attacks, and stabbed the enemies with spears and long swords.

How the Moore pirates were the enemy of the elite guards and heavily armored sergeants. After the frontal attack was frustrated, they could only turn their focus to the flanks. The pressure on the town militia on the defensive flanks and the Viking raiders suddenly increased. The latter was fine, and was still able to cope with the siege of many enemies. However, the town militia was obviously uncomfortable, and could only retreat again and again under the attack of the pirates. , there is a faint trend of instability.

Seeing this situation, the officers of the crossbow militia did not care about continuing to shoot and pressurize the enemy troops besieging the front, and instead targeted the enemies who were fighting with the town militia. Ninety wooden hunting crossbows aimed at the flanks that were about to collapse, and then pulled the triggers together, only to hear a piercing volley of crossbow bolts that made the scalp tingle, and the deadly bolts instantly covered the Moor pirates on the flanks, It directly defeated the latter's psychological defense.

Facts have proved that crossbow bolts with armor-piercing effects are quite effective against unarmored units like pirates.

However, this was only a temporary relief. Before the town militiamen consolidated their formation, the Moorish pirates attacked again. Just as the crossbow militiamen were about to shoot again, they were shocked to find that the quiver bags at their waists were empty. !

We have run out of arrows and stones, draw our swords and kill the enemy!

Seeing that the militiamen in the town showed signs of being defeated again, the crossbowmen put down the crossbows that had been reduced to decoration, drew their own daggers and short swords, and charged the ferocious Moorish pirates. They all know that they are no match for the enemy in close combat, but for His Majesty Caesar, they are still willing to fight with him!

For the Empire!

Shouting loudly, the middle-aged crossbow-wielding militiaman with a dagger elbowed the pirate's face. The latter screamed and stepped back several steps. The pirate's neck could only hear the other party's screams, blood splashed everywhere, and a life disappeared.

After killing an enemy, before he had time to be happy, a tomahawk slashed across his right eye, and the bloodshot eyeball burst instantly. His body was kicked away, the battle ax was pulled out in response, and the blood mixed with brain sprayed out.

With the passage of time, the war outside Nuremberg became more and more tragic. With the advantage of the number of Moore pirates, even the elite Janissaries were gradually unable to do what they wanted. The town militia and crossbow militia on the flanks have already suffered heavy losses. If it were not for the support of their belief in defending their homeland, they might have already retreated.

And those Viking raiders who are better at attacking have also fought to the last moment, and only a few soldiers are left to form a small circle and still resist tenaciously-on the ground in front of them, countless pirates and fellow soldiers have fallen. corpse.

Just when Omar thought he was about to win, a strange horn sounded from the forest behind them, instantly causing Omar's heart to fall into an ice valley.

For the Empire!

Accompanied by the passionate horn, twenty-five knights rushed out of the forest, all of them in armor, trotting all the way towards the fighting battlefield at a uniform pace.

Although there were only twenty-five knights, in Omar's view, the sense of oppression was comparable to that of a thousand troops!

Kondra, let us crush the Moore pirates together!

In the middle of the team, Richard, who was wearing the king's armor, shouted loudly, and the battle robe behind him was fluttering in the wind, making him look even more heroic!

My lord, I am willing to fight for you!

In this case, for the sake of the empire, charge! As soon as Richard finished speaking, the horse under his crotch increased his speed sharply,

He rushed forward like an arrow leaving the string, and the knights around him rushed out together, shouting in unison.

charge!

The speed of the twenty-five riders was getting faster and faster, and they were getting closer and closer to the Moorish pirates at the back. Finally, amidst the terrified and desperate screams of the Moorish pirates, the knights put down their lances together and put them under their armpits. Launch the most terrifying fury charge!

For the Empire!

boom!

The twenty-five knights were like large trucks driving at high speed, knocking over and flying all the pirates who dared to block them. It's like a hot knife cutting into solidified butter, easily tearing their lines apart!

The moment they crashed into the crowd, all the knights unanimously gave up their broken lances, pulled out the sharp knight swords at their waists, and slashed at the crowd with the mobility of their horses, setting off a rain of blood, and people's limbs and arms were everywhere. fly.

How could the pirates, who had always fought only on the water, resist the powerful charges of the early general guards? Just one charge, the fighting spirit of the pirates fell to the bottom in an instant, and the morale of the army was shaken.

But at this moment, some sharp-eyed pirates saw the smoke and dust floating in the sky above the temporary port, and a terrible thought came to them-their warship was attacked by surprise!

This is indeed the case. When the main force of the pirates came out, the Cuban navy, which had been hiding elsewhere, immediately attacked and launched a surprise attack on the hundreds of pirates who stayed behind. Under the attack of the Cuban navy with a large number of people, the left-behind pirates were defeated after only resisting for a while, and gave up their home.

Then, the naval commander Sigurd set fire to the food, grass and many supplies brought by the pirates, and notified the news of the fall of the stronghold to the pirates who were still fighting outside Nuremberg through the thick smoke rising from the burning. Not only that, they also continued to support Nuremberg along the dirt road without stopping.

For a while, the Moore pirates who were originally in an advantage actually fell into a disadvantage.

The failure of continuous attacks to break through the defense line of the Kuban army had already made the Moore pirates very anxious, but now, the blow of the stronghold fall and the fear of the heavy cavalry finally made them lose their fighting spirit. The enemy's line of defense, which seemed to be on the verge of collapse, became extremely strong in an instant, and they began to retreat...

Everything has become so simple, with the first person taking the lead in escaping, there will be a second, third, and even countless others. The entire battle line is gradually collapsing. Maybe some people are unwilling to retreat in such a humiliating way, but in the end they can only be unwilling Swept away by the flow of people from the battlefield where many of their companions were buried.

Next, it's time for the Cuban army to start carnival!

Having lost the only route of retreat, these defeated pirates undoubtedly became shackles. They may be able to escape for a while relying on the complicated terrain, but they can only be found and dealt with in the end.
