Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 88 Battle of the Luwen Plain (Cavalry Charge)

Woo--

With the dull horn sounding in the Ramirez army, the huge cavalry brigade advanced slowly. Although their advancing speed was not fast, the pressure on the Ravana people was still huge. The most obvious ones were those who stood at the front. The light infantrymen were pale and trembling slightly.

Calm down, just shoot the arrow at the enemy when the enemy enters your range!

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the officers walked among the light infantry, loudly motivating the cannon fodder used to weaken the enemy, but before the pressure of the Ramirez cavalry, the officers' motivation was useless, and the light infantry was still nervous. shake.

vomit……

Not only the light infantry at the front performed poorly, but also the infantry who formed the defense line behind them were also nervous. In the defense line of the central army, several heavily armored soldiers couldn't bear the pressure before the big battle and vomited. They bent over and vomited sour After throwing up the vomit, he quickly straightened up and wiped his mouth, and looked straight ahead as if nothing had happened. The centurions and flag officers had already seen the strangeness, and they just encouraged the surrounding soldiers in a low voice, but from the sweat on their palms, you can still see Out, they are also very nervous.

May God bless, may God bless me and my men, and let us be victorious in the upcoming battle...

Amidst the prayers of the Germanic people who believed in God, the Ramirez cavalry finally increased their speed after advancing for a certain distance. The dust covered the sky and the sun, and the earth trembled slightly.

Gulu—

Looking at the Ramirez cavalry brigade moving at high speed, the commander of the crossbow militia couldn't help but swallowed to moisten his dry throat due to fear, and he immediately raised his saber—as if it would bring him courage .

Ready to shoot! he roared loudly, with deep fear in his voice, Shoot!

As soon as the sharp voice of the crossbow militia commander fell, 720 crossbow militiamen pulled the triggers at the same time. A beautiful arc, and then fell into the running Ramirez cavalry brigade.

In the next second, the rain of arrows fell, people turned on their backs, horses neighed, countless knights were pierced by armor-piercing crossbows, or were hit by several crossbows at the same time, screaming and falling off their horses, and then He was trampled under the feet of the horses chasing up behind him, and turned into flesh.

There was no time to take into account the casualties caused by the first salvo to the Ramirez cavalry,

The crossbow-bearing militiamen withdrew one after another, revealing the circular spear formations hidden by their bodies. In this formation, countless spears are aimed outward, just like hedgehogs in nature!

Put down the lance and charge!

Ignoring the never-before-seen circular formation, the Ramirez cavalry put down their raised lances as they approached Ravana's formation, shouting and crashing head-on into the hedgehog formation composed of heavily armored sergeants!

boom!

The moment the cavalry collided with the infantry, the whole world seemed to tremble. The heavily armored sergeant at the outermost edge was knocked down by the powerful impact of the horse, and then rolled under the horse's hoof and stepped into an unknown object made of flesh and steel. The entire circle of hedgehogs was also displaced by the charge of Ramirez's heavy cavalry. The impact made the last soldier push forward a few steps even though he used his solid back to resist the pressure. The first few rows of soldiers who met the enemy, except for those who were killed on the spot when they were pierced by lances, were all knocked out by the huge impact and suffered internal injuries. Several ribs were broken, and blood flowed from their mouths and noses.

The cavalry brigade of the Ramirez people was also having a hard time. It has been a fatal mistake since ancient times to use cavalry to attack the line of defense composed of spearmen head-on. The cavaliers charging in the front row suddenly turned upside down after hitting the hedgehog circle. The spears of the heavily armored sergeants were the best weapon against the cavalry charge. At that time, he was pierced by a spear and became a bunch of bloody candied haws.

Not only that, but there were many partitions between the hedgehog formations formed by the heavy armored soldiers. Many Ramirez cavalry rushed into the partitions when they charged, and were stabbed to death with spears by the heavy armored soldiers on both sides. Those who escaped were not lucky enough to survive, because on the next line of defense, the spear militiamen deployed there were watching them eagerly!

Do not!

The young Ramirez cavalryman shouted in despair, and then a spear pierced diagonally from below, breaking through the defense of the chain mail he was wearing, and piercing his ribs, the young knight screamed in pain , and then fell to the ground clutching his wound, from the angle of his eyes that gradually lost color, the enemy who was holding a two-meter spear and a large kite-shaped shield calmly returned to his formation after assassinating him, The blood-stained metal spearhead reflected coquettish spots under the sunlight.

Woo--

The dull horn sounded again, and the Ramirez cavalry who failed to break through the heavy sergeant's line of defense immediately turned their horses and retreated. At the same time, their infantry slowly approached. After the cavalry could not tear the enemy's line of defense, Oweko The king could only engage the enemy with his army of infantry.

Before the infantry fight, it is the confrontation between the light infantry. After the threat of the Ramirez cavalry was eliminated, the Ravana light infantry, mainly the crossbow militiamen, returned to the front again and shot at the approaching enemies. Not to be outdone, the Ramirez archers followed suit. The bow drew the arrows to counterattack, and the arrow rain covered the sky and the sun for a while, and a round of dark arrow rain rose from the front of the two sides' formations, and then fell into the opponent's formation.

In the confrontation of light infantry, the melee infantry equipped with shields relied on their strong shields to defend against the arrows falling from the sky, but those light infantry who did not even have leather armor could only resist with flesh and blood The lucky ones were unscathed in several consecutive rounds of arrow rain, and the unlucky ones became hedgehogs in the first round of shooting each other.

Whoosh—

When the arrow flew at high speed, it made a chilling sound of piercing through the air. A Ramirez archer who was about to take the arrow out of his quiver felt a black shadow flying towards him. In the next second, the crossbow directly hit his eye socket, crushing his skull and penetrating into his brain. The poor archer only had time to let out a heart-piercing scream, and then fell on his back.

While the light infantry of the two sides fired at each other, the infantry of the Ramires had rushed to a distance of less than 50 meters from the light infantry of Ravana!
