Rise of the Empire Total War

boom!

On the open plain, corpses were strewn all over the field. A large number of corpses fell on the blood-stained grass in various postures. Perhaps a few survivors wanted to escape from the pile of corpses in pain, but they were found by enemy soldiers. One shot kills.

Sporadic gunshots sounded from time to time, and quickly dissipated in the breeze that passed by. With every gunshot, a fresh life disappeared in this world.

This is the Catonita battlefield. Under the attack of the advanced gunpowder weapons of the Winster Expeditionary Army, the Pro-City-State coalition finally suffered a disastrous defeat. The corpses of thousands of comrades-in-arms scattered and fled in all directions.

Strolling on the battlefield, Charles looked around and saw soldiers with weapons all around them. They carefully inspected the corpses on the ground, ready to hit the dead corpse corpses at any time and pick up the good things on them. , or walking together in twos and threes, while casually cleaning up the battlefield, chatting with the comrades beside him.

Charles heard a spear sergeant who just passed by him complaining to others in German with an accent. He listened carefully, but was amused by the content of the complaint.

The Ossa are really vulnerable. We didn't even have a real battle, and they retreated on their own. Fortunately, I was always expecting to kill a few more enemies before the battle. The soldier complained.

Don't talk about it, I made a bet with old Henry that ten Osa people would be killed in this battle, but he ran away before meeting the enemy, and I would buy him a month's worth of wine, which would kill me. The comrade-in-arms said gloomily. As he spoke, he stabbed the spear in his hand at the corpse of an enemy in front of him as if venting. Unexpectedly, as soon as he pierced the spear, he heard the corpse scream in pain. , The two almost screamed in shock, but they reacted quickly, cursing and stabbing several blood holes in the corpse that was pretending to be dead, making him really a corpse.

Now you got a head, Toke. Looking at the corpse on the ground, the soldier who complained jokingly said to his comrades. Cowards, otherwise my silver mark will really be lost.

Hahaha……

The pair of soldiers walked further and further away, but behind Charles came the voice of his lieutenant general: My lord, our loss report has been summarized. In this battle, our army killed 83 people, and most of the reserve gunpowder was consumed. The rest The ammunition can last another battle of similar scale.

This lieutenant general is not Derek who has been promoted to earl, but another lieutenant general. After becoming earl, Derek stayed away from the army and managed his fief Hagensen with peace of mind. The most prestigious local aristocrats got married and gave birth to a son and a daughter with his wife.

Cough cough, pull away.

Why did eighty-three people die in battle? Charles listened to the lieutenant general's report, but did not show a satisfied expression. In his opinion, with the assistance of firearms in this battle, the enemy was once suppressed and made unable to resist. There should be no deaths in battle. Condition.

However, the lieutenant seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and quickly explained: My lord, most of the soldiers who died in battle died in the battle with the stubborn enemy, and some soldiers were charged by the enemy cavalry. killed.

It turned out that the volleys of the musket gunmen failed to stop the charge of the coalition cavalry. After firing the last round, they quickly withdrew into the line of defense listed by the heavy-armored soldiers, allowing the heavy-armored soldiers to resist the charging cavalry. As we all know, cavalry can exert greater power on the plains, so many soldiers fell under the iron hooves of the enemy cavalry, but the enemy also paid the price, falling into the line of defense of the heavily armed sergeants and being brutally attacked one by one. Assassinate.

After figuring it out, Charles quickly felt relieved. He stroked his bushy beard and asked, How many spoils did we capture?

Hearing this, the deputy general replied: We only seized a small amount of supplies and an initial estimate of more than 2,000 Osa silver coins. According to the information obtained from the prisoners of war,

Most of their supplies are still in the fortress on the border. If we break through that fortress before the enemy moves, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

Okay. Charles clapped his hands and said jokingly: Our enemies knew in advance that they would lose this war, so they deliberately put all the supplies behind. They really had the foresight!

Hahaha... The lieutenant general couldn't help laughing, and after he stopped laughing, he said: According to the tradition of the Osa people, they will divination to the false gods they believe in before going out. It seems that their The false gods didn't tell them that the war was lost.

My dear Krahan, you have to remember that God is the only god in this world that exists and is correct. The so-called gods that the Osa people believe in are all false, and one of our tasks is to make Osa Save the Sa people from false beliefs, let them be in the arms of God, amen.

Amen.

...

After cleaning up the battlefield, they divided up their troops and sent the prisoners of war to Catonita City. Charles then led the army to continue the eastward march. They followed the route of the coalition army's defeat and finally sent the three layers of the coalition army who had fled into the fortress. Surrounded, even with wings, it is difficult to escape.

This kind of victory is what Charles likes to see. The legionnaires under his command are all orthodox Germans, and they belong to the kind that kills one less. If possible, it is better to avoid causing too many casualties——in this world , Only the Germans are Richard's most loyal followers. What is the specific degree of loyalty? Even if Richard orders them to commit suicide, most of these loyal German soldiers will carry out Richard's order without hesitation.

In their eyes, loyalty and honor and my life.

Cough cough, pull away.

After capturing the fortress of the coalition forces, the Winsters seized a large amount of supplies, including a lot of food, weapons and equipment, and tools for repairs. In the end, there was a large sum of Osa silver coins. After a rough count, this Osa There are at least 8,000 Sa silver coins. Although I don't know what their original purpose was, but now that they are in the hands of the Winsters, they will never return to the hands of the original owner.
