Rise of the Empire Total War

This is a disaster, but also a massacre. Countless fireballs and arrows fell from the sky, screams and roars intertwined, forming a unique battlefield symphony... It was not until the Teutonic Knights were killed that the coalition forces finally declared their demise. —Anied Matthew, historian, account of the ambush in the valley of Hean

...

Retreat! Retreat! Break out of the encirclement!

Watching the King of Ozon, Giochino, fall from his horse with an arrow in the eye, Ragnar, the Grand Duke of Rogel, had his eyes shattered. Before he could restrain the former's body, he raised his sword and roared, ordering the entire army to retreat. , His actions quickly attracted the attention of the Winster crossbowmen above his head. For a while, several arrows roared towards him, but they were blocked by the guards around him in time, and hit the shield heavily. , was bounced off again.

Retreat! Retreat!

The order to retreat came one after another in the army. The soldiers shoved and shoved in horror, and retreated in the direction they came. Even a fool would know that there must be an ambush ahead, so how could they continue to move forward?

Withdraw! Withdraw! King Ragnar roared, his eyes were red, he glared at the Winsters who shot wantonly above his head, his steel teeth were almost crushed, Hemis, I will definitely make you pay!

The fireballs and arrows above the head were still falling like raindrops. Every second, soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. A large number of soldiers' bodies fell on this not-so-wide road. They died in different ways, or Was it shot by arrows, or was burned into coke by the flames of the devil, or was smashed in the head by a stone falling from the sky, bleeding from the head, or pushed to the ground in a panic, severely trampled, alive trampled to death.

Get out of here, chase! On the top of the mountain, Charles ordered the soldiers, and then led the army down the mountain from the trail to kill the retreating enemies, but their speed was still a bit slower. In the valley, the enemy has withdrawn most of the army after leaving corpses all over the ground.

However, before the escaped soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, they looked in horror at the army holding up the black-and-white crusader flag on the horizon. The menacing appearance can still feel the deep hostility.

We are surrounded!

Among the crowd, whoever yelled first, panic swept through the entire army again. They looked at the huge number of heavy cavalry on horses, and at the enemy chasing in the valley behind them, their hearts surged. The emotion called despair, they are already in a dilemma, being attacked from both front and back.

Back to the valley! Back to the valley!

finally,

It was King Ragnar who quickly reacted and gave the correct order. Under his shout, the whole army turned and retreated back to the valley as if they had found the backbone. Fighting fiercely with the enemy's infantry in the valley, maybe there will be a miracle, tearing apart the battle formation of the enemy's infantry, and escaping from the sky.

But is this possible? The answer is clearly no.

Under the command of Charles, soldiers with bows and crossbows lined up in front of the formation, and shot a dense rain of arrows at the enemy rushing towards them. The meter-long special sword and spear was raised flat in front of him, creating an insurmountable obstacle!

shooting!

whoosh whoosh—

The buzzing sound from the crossbow arrows resounded through the entire valley, reaching the ears of the soldiers, causing a strong vibration to their eardrums. Not only that, the crossbow machine with its own armor-piercing effect crashed into the charging soldiers head-on. In the middle of the attack, they pierced through their upright shields and armor in an instant, and fell down in large swaths like crops after autumn, and blood gushed out, almost staining the entire ground red.

After only two rounds of arrow rain, the enemy rushed to a dangerous distance. The light infantry, who were not good at melee combat, quickly put away their bows and crossbows, turned around and retreated, and retreated into the passage deliberately vacated by the sword and spear militiamen. When all the soldiers withdrew After entering, the passage merged again, and a sharp sword and spear reflected the dazzling cold light under the sunlight, pointing at the charging enemy army far away!

prick!

The moment the two armies came into contact, Winster let out a mournful roar. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the first row stabbed their long swords and spears straight into the enemy's body without any hindrance, and the sharp blades tore apart. The flesh and blood of the human body smashed the internal organs and emerged from the back. If you look carefully, there are bloodstains and broken pieces of flesh on the blade exposed to the air!

After the swords and spears intertwined with the human body, a large cloud of blood mist rose, and the soldiers in the first row lost their combat power instantly. Their whole body's energy was almost exhausted, the soles of their feet lost strength, and they fell to their knees directly. The swords and spears inserted into their bodies were pulled out immediately. Losing support, he fell powerlessly in a pool of blood.

Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers in the first row pulled out their swords and spears, the soldiers of the coalition behind followed closely, intending to take the opportunity to enter the phalanx formed by the militiamen with swords and spears, but the soldiers in the second row made up for it in time. Amidst the roar, a coalition soldier exerted force on his feet and jumped up violently, but the sword and spear militiamen were already prepared, grasping the double pole with both hands and stabbing upwards, piercing the opponent's body in mid-air, blood spurted from the wound immediately, and was killed The coalition soldier who pierced his body suddenly lost his strength, and was thrown back into the crowd at will.

Roar!

A coalition soldier held up his shield to block the stabbing sword and spear, and slashed down with the sharp sword in his hand. He cut off the wooden spear body directly. He was caught off guard and was cut with a hideous wound on his waist by the sharp blade. He screamed and knelt on the ground covering the wound. The middle was inserted from his open mouth, and then emerged from the back of the head, blood spurted out, and a lifeless body fell down immediately.

At this moment, the Teutonic Knights holding high the black and white crusader flag outside the valley arrived. This group of elite knights wearing barrel helmets or iconic horn helmets roared and charged the crowded coalition forces from behind. At the same time as the war horses neighed, the cavaliers of the brigade ran into the coalition army formation head-on like a black and white torrent with overwhelming momentum.

Immediately afterwards, the shield was destroyed and people were killed, and the shouts shook the sky. The soldiers in the front row were directly pierced by the three-meter-long heavy lance, and were lifted into the air like a rag doll, and then fell heavily. At the moment when the lances were broken by the recoil force, the knights gave up their lances with lightning speed, drew their swords, and slashed left and right in the crowd with the help of the impact of their horses. The horses blocked the soldiers in front of them. Knocked down and knocked down, their sharp swords also cut down the surrounding enemies.

Charge! In the name of the father, kill the heretics!
