, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of the Empire, Total War!
Snapped--
"This **** mosquito is really annoying."
Flicking away the mosquitoes with only a flat corpse stuck to the palm of his hand, Richard Bono cursed in a low voice.
Since two days ago he led his third brigade from Sotutale in the northern barbarian area of Burgundia, the entire army has been in a situation of mosquito-ravaged conditions, and the dense forests of Sotutale have bred a lot of Poisonous beasts, wild beasts are okay to deal with, a volley of muskets can kill them, but poisonous insects are tricky, they will always fall on the exposed skin when the soldiers are unprepared, feasting on them, and even some Go through the gap in the military uniform and get into the clothes to **** blood.
Richard learned from his adjutant that one of the hapless regiment leaders was stung by a mosquito, and the bag was swollen so big that he could not sit or stand, and he could not stand. die.
Damn it. Richard Bono thought in his mind that the ravages of poisonous insects had also affected the morale of soldiers in the army. Everyone suppressed the anger in their hearts forcibly, hoping to get out of here soon.
Compared with ordinary soldiers, Richard thinks more about it. He learned from a certain channel that the people of the Holy Kuyavian Empire are clamoring with the barbarians in the Sotutal area. They seem to have let go of their grudges for many years. A common goal-even if you think of his ass, which has been stung several times, you can guess that their common goal is likely to be themselves.
It’s just that he couldn’t understand why they were able to let go of their hatred for many years. As far as he knew, the Kuyavian Empire and the barbarians have been at war for almost a hundred years. It can be said that many people have died in each generation on both sides. In the war, if it weren't for the barbaric settlements that were really barren, so many years of war would have allowed the Kuyavian Empire to conquer their hometown.
At this moment, Richard's adjutant leaned over. He looked around, attached to Richard's ear, and whispered: "Sir, our scouts have found something unusual in front, you see..."
"What's the change?" Richard asked softly. He looked straight ahead, with lush trees and bushes high in his eyes, and from time to time he could hear the bird's cry and the roar of distant beasts.
"We suspect that the barbarians are ready to ambush our army." The adjutant continued.
When the words fell, the pupils in Richard's eyes suddenly shook. He glanced at the adjutant next to him, nodded, and said: "I see, you order to go down and let the soldiers check the loading situation and prepare for battle. ."
"Yes." The adjutant agreed, then turned the horse's head, and drove the horse back.
Seeing the adjutant leaving behind, Richard subconsciously grabbed the reins. He called an adjutant again and ordered him to lead all the cavalry in the brigade quickly through the scouts to discover the abnormal area. If they were attacked, he would be able to Take the main force to go for reinforcements. If the enemy lets them go and ambushed the main force, then the cavalry can also look back and reinforce.
Richard's order was quickly conveyed. All the soldiers changed their nerves that were somewhat relaxed before. They clenched their muskets and increased their vigilance. Although they were ordered by the officer not to look around, for fear that this would arouse the enemy's suspicion, but They still observe from the corner of their eyes.
They did not dare to relax. Since the military reform, the entire army was equipped with muskets. The annihilated army was basically ambushed by the enemy. The enemy was unable to break through the firepower net fired by the muskets on the frontal battlefield, so it could only be obtained in a despicable ambush. Advantage.
...
On the other side, the barbarian tribe who set up the ambush did not realize that they had been spotted by the Roman scouts. They thought they were perfectly clothed, hiding in the lush bushes, watching bloodthirstyly as they rushed here from a distance. The Roman cavalry, although they wanted to attack immediately, but before that, they had received a warning from the Barbarian Council that they could not attack without authorization. The leaders of several tribes also knew that this might be the forerunner of the Romans, and their main force was still behind, so they did not immediately order an attack.
As a result, under the gaze of tens of thousands of barbarians, the Roman cavalry quickly passed the ambush circle, leaving behind the sky full of dust. It wasn't until the main Roman army arrived that the barbarians picked up their high spirits.
"The front is the abnormal area reported by the scouts." Looking at the bushes on both sides, Richard's adjutant reminded softly.
"Well, let the order go on and prepare to fight." Richard nodded and ordered. When his voice didn't fall, the order spread throughout the army.
Tens of seconds later, a dull horn sounded from the bushes. Then, a large number of arrows passed through the bushes and flew towards the soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire in the march. The next second, the soldiers standing outside fell to the ground with arrows. , And the soldiers who did not hit the arrows took down their muskets at the fastest speed and aimed them at both sides of the road. They did not need the command of the officer to open fire directly.
Bang bang bang ——
In the thunderous gunshots, the barbarians hiding in the bushes did not expect that the ambushed army would react so quickly. They were caught off guard, and fell a piece. Before they could react, they were thrown from the bushes. Into a large number of black iron balls, these iron **** smashed into the blood of the barbarian warriors who lacked armor protection, crying and crying, they did not have time to think about what these iron **** were, because a few seconds later, the iron that fell on the ground The **** exploded one after another, and the flying shrapnel killed a large number of soldiers.
When the barbarians reacted, they had fallen a lot of warriors, and the rest of the people looked at the tragic death of the tribe, and their military spirit was shaken.
"The Romans are too strong! We killed so many people before we even got the enemy!"
"Damn~www.readwn.com~Retreat quickly!"
The barbarians screamed loudly and retreated while greeting the tribe. At this moment, the carbines who heard the gunfire also turned their horses and killed them. They outflanked the barbarians who were trying to retreat from the two wings. The rounds fired a volley, and then he drew his sword and screamed into the crowd. The volley of the Carbine Cavalry’s volley of shock is more meaningful than the actual killing. In their charge, the barbarians completely retreated, even if the barbarian leaders greeted them to counterattack, it was of no avail.
Seeing the Carbine Lancers came back, the line infantry in the middle of the road also erected their bayonets to chase them, but the woods were really luxuriant, they had to stop after chasing them for a while, and watched the unruly barbarians dig into the woods. . It's not that they don't understand the truth about the poor. If they are in a hurry, it is difficult to guarantee that the barbarians will be ruthless, relying on the woods they are familiar with to fight against the Roman army.
In this ambush, the casualties of the third brigade were not large. Only the initial rain of arrows caused them to kill. However, because the soldiers' uniforms had an extra layer of chain mail, most of them were only slightly injured. , Only a few unlucky guys were shot at the key and killed on the spot. Compared with their casualties, the barbarians paid a heavy price. Looking ahead, the corpses of the barbarians can be seen everywhere in the bushes on both sides of the road.
