Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 The news of the demise of the DuPont team finally reached Oma's ears-the second team hurriedly evacuated after discovering the corpses all over the forest and sent the news back to the temporary camp.

However, Omar did not show a violent rage. He just nodded faintly, and then let the people come back. It was just the destruction of a team of fifty people. It was nothing in his eyes. What made him even more concerned was, The quantity and quality of the army of the so-called Earl of Kuban.

　　 "Let Hyman take two hundred people to go deeper and test the strength of the Earl of Kuban."

　　 Following Omar’s order, his capable officer "One-eyed" Hyman led two hundred lightly armored and unarmored pirates out of the temporary port and continued in the footsteps of the DuPont team.

　　 Just as the scene of yesterday reappeared, Hyman and his colleagues were also ambushed by crossbow militias in the dense forest. Ninety powerful hunting crossbows shot pirates with almost zero defense at close range in the dark, and the first wave of volleys instantly exploded the outermost enemy.

　　 Although these pirates had some preparations after entering the forest, they were still beaten up. Fortunately, Hyman, who was clustered in the center, was not attacked. He quickly reacted and shouted to order his subordinates to launch a counterattack against the attacker.

However, before the pirates swung their swords at the crossbow militia, the latter had already completed the reloading calmly and shot the second round of crossbow arrows at the enemy. This wave was more severe and more precise than the first attack on the pirates. After shooting in the face, the pirates who rushed towards them almost fell. The militiamen with crossbows did not hesitate to turn around and retreat without hesitation after pulling the trigger. The speed was beyond the reach of the pirates.

Two shots cost the pirates close to one hundred losses, which shocked Hyman's heart. He has never seen a crossbow a few times when he has been wandering at sea all year round. To be precise, the crossbow is a very lethal weapon. Limited to the army sequences of various countries, the navy still uses primitive bows and arrows to fight with javelins.

Therefore, after seeing the record of the crossbow militia, Hyman quickly ordered the remaining people to stop pursuing them. He shouted hello to the remaining people to come closer to him, regardless of his classmates who were still wailing on the ground. Go back the same way.

　　 They were very lucky. They did not encounter the interception of the Count Cuban army along the way. They fled the forest in embarrassment and returned to the temporary port with blood stains.

　　 After learning that Earl Cuban’s army was equipped with crossbows, Omar also had a headache. Almost none of his pirates wore armor, and even had few shields, so they could only attack the enemy’s crossbow.

　　 In fact, there are many pirates equipped with bow and arrow javelins under Omar's command, and their number adds up to two to three hundred people. Although the accuracy of shooting is not satisfactory, they can still suppress the long-range troops of the Earl of Cuban.

Therefore, Omar decided to temporarily gather all the archers and javeliners to make a rough grouping-that is, the archers are responsible for suppressing the enemy crossbowmen, and the javelinmen take the opportunity to approach with the skirmish line, throwing and shooting at close range. .

　　After thinking about it, Omar asked him to select the archers and javelins in the army, and then let the whole army rest. He decided to leave some people to guard the home the next day, and the main force would go deep inland with him.

　　 What he didn't know was that his decision had ruined the entire Moorish pirate group.

　　……

　　 In the early morning of the next day, all the pirates were assembled. Everyone knew the purpose of the trip, so they seemed very excited. Those who were selected to stay at home were looking at those companions with distress, imagining how much loot they would get after breaking the earl's residence.

Amidst the roaring speeches of the people, more than 800 pirates left the temporary port aggressively under the personal leadership of the head of the commander Omar, leaving more than a hundred people looking at the calm water and the ships anchored in the port-it is worth a visit. It is mentioned that the small temporary port cannot fully accommodate a hundred or so pirate warships, and more warships can only be stranded alone on the soft beach.

　　 What the pirates did not notice was that a dark shadow hiding in the forest watched all this silently, and after all the pirates walked out of the port gate, he ran away flexibly and ran towards the deepest part of the forest.

　　 may have been shocked by the number of pirates. Omar and his pirate army have not been attacked all the way, let alone human figures, not even an animal.

　　 With the anxiety of being ready to be attacked at any time, the pirate army finally passed through the forest and entered the plain where Nuremberg was located-this was named the Nuremberg Plain by Richard not long ago.

As soon as they walked out of the forest, everyone was surprised by the scene in front of them. In their sight, a large town with a population of at least four or five thousand stood by the shimmering lake shore, and the large arable land outside the city had already been planted. Green leafy vegetables, and outside the city walls, a small number of infantry formed a line of defense that was slightly thinner than pirates.

　　 "Are they going to defeat us in the field?"

This is the first thought that all the pirates came up with after seeing the Count Kuban~www.readwn.com~ They looked at the army holding the Black Hawk and Yellow Bottom in amazement, but they didn’t know what to do for a while. response.

In the end, Omar reacted. After he was surprised, he was endless irritation, angered by the contempt of this Earl Cuban for himself and the entire Moor pirate group. He actually dared to fight against them in a disadvantaged situation. The Earl of Cuban was Who are you looking down on?

　　 "Offensive! Offensive! Kill them all!" Omar roared, "Break the town and slaughter the city for three days!"

　　 "Huh! Huh! Huh!"

　　 For these greedy pirates, only plunder and massacre can arouse their fighting spirit. More than 800 pirates have a high fighting spirit, shouting slogans and launching a random charge on the Holy Roman Empire army.

　　 Well, to be precise, it should be called the Count of Cuban.

　　 After starting the charge, Omar suddenly remembered how ideal his plan the previous day was. These untrained pirates did not understand what discipline was. Once the war started, they would just rush forward with instinct, without considering the consequences of this style of play.

　　 If you can't hit, you will rush all the way, but if you can't hit, the wind will scream. This is the true portrayal of the pirates.

Therefore, in the face of the charge of the Moorish pirates, the army of the Earl of Cuban, who was waiting in full battle, was not at all confused. In the skirmishes of the previous few days, the militiamen with great achievements raised crossbows and shot a deadly round at the low-defense pirates. Of the crossbow.

　　 Not a dense crossbow bolts soared into the sky, across the sky and fell into the crowd in the charge, and dealt a heavy blow to the pirates in the front row. After a round of shooting by the crossbow militiamen, the pirate archers among the crowd remembered their responsibilities, standing in place, shooting bows and arrows, and launched a counterattack.

　　 A decisive battle concerning the fate of Richard and the Holy Roman Empire began.
