Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 March 29, 1105, in the continental calendar, is a memorable day for the civilians in the kingdoms of Ravana and Ramirez.

　　 Soon after Ramirez’s chief of foreign affairs handed over the declaration of war to King Haraus, the heavily armed Ramirez Kingdom army flagrantly crossed the border and invaded the Kingdom of Lavana.

　　The composition of the army of the Kingdom of Ramirez is no different from that of European countries in the Middle Ages, with a small number of standing troops directly under the kingdom, fief recruits led by various nobles, and militias enlisted in the city.

　　Of course, the most famous knights of the Middle Ages also appeared in Ramirez's army.

　　Like the medieval knights on earth, the knight’s equipment here is also a pair of chain mail, an iron helmet, a lance, a shield and a knight sword, and the core horse.

　　The army of the Ramirez Kingdom quickly captured the village of Lavana that caused the incident after crossing the border, and forcibly captured the villagers as slaves. All their wealth was looted, and then the entire village was burnt down.

　　According to the words of King Owicko, who was conquered by the imperial driver, this is a warning to the Ravana people, and it is also an appetizer before the war.

After that, the army began to besiege the nearest town of Ravana-it was just a small town with a population of nearly a thousand. Naturally, her city defense army would not be many, only a poor hundred militiamen, and for some reason, Most of the hundreds of militiamen were transferred away, leaving only a dozen unlucky ones.

　　 Facing the huge army of the Kingdom of Ramirez, the town opened its door to surrender in an instant, and offered the tribute that should have been given to the lord and the shivering tax officer who happened to be in the town.

　　 King Owicko and his army continued to advance. In Fort Cochrane, less than half a day away from the town, the Ramirez finally encountered their first resistance after entering the Kingdom of Ravana.

　　 Fort Cochrane is the fief of a Count named Vic Dennis. To be precise, the vicinity of Fort Cochrane, including the previous surrendered towns and several villages, is his fief.

Before the Ramirez invasion, Earl Vic obeyed the king’s order to gather all the conscriptable troops in the fief in Fort Cochrane, but he did not expect that as soon as he gathered the troops on the front foot, Oveko hit the door on the back foot. , Suddenly surrounded him in this fortress built on the hill.

Count Vic’s army is not very large, ten knights from the palace, thirteen knights sworn in allegiance, fifty-seven knights, one hundred militiamen recruited from towns, and nearly three hundred from various villages. The mobilized peasants and soldiers are all his strength.

　　In contrast, the army under King Owicko: five hundred royal standing army, a total of three thousand noble army and nearly one thousand mercenaries. The disparity between the strengths of the two sides made Earl Vic's face in the castle ashamed.

But he knew that he could not surrender. Once surrendered, the honor of the nobility and family would be desecrated, and the result of this war must belong to the Kingdom of Ravana in his eyes. This is convinced.

　　 made up his mind, Earl Vic ordered the whole army to hold on to the castle. Fort Cochrane, built on the hills of the city wall, is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is also a well inside the castle that can maintain water. There is enough food to support the defenders until reinforcements arrive. As long as there are no ghosts or other accidents, Fort Cochrane It can be said to be solid.

　　 Kuban Island.

　　 It has been a week since the news spread from the mainland to Kuban. Richard did not know how the war had progressed at this time, but the letter with the seal of the military commander required him to fulfill his feudal obligation to join the war.

　　 This request undoubtedly made Condela and others angry. They remembered the inaction and idling of the Kingdom of Lavana when the pirates invaded. Now that the Kingdom of Ramirez has declared war on it, how dare they ask Richard to join the war?

　　 Regardless of how Condra and others questioned, the letter with the seal of the military commander was legal and reasonable. Richard had no reason to refuse and could only lead his troops to join.

　　 What makes him a headache is that the letter requires at least 300 soldiers to be mobilized, and he now has only 299 soldiers, and it is even more unlikely that he will come out for a war that does not concern him. Richard was a little doubtful whether this was the military commander deliberately engaging himself.

　　 At this moment, as if hearing the troubles in Richard's heart, the sound of the system suddenly sounded. Upon listening carefully, it turned out that it was time to randomly select Danish troops!

　　 [This draw is based on the Danish kingdom arms system, and the scope is only in the early stage. 】

　　 "Start drawing!" Richard quickly replied, regardless of whether he was in the early, middle or late stages.

The process of drawing is very simple. A row of arms cards appears in Richard's mind, and then these arms are spinning rapidly, and after a few seconds, four arms cards of arms that are still shining with a faint light fly out~www.readwn .com~ Upon closer inspection, Richard’s expectant face gradually revealed a satisfied smile.

　　 "Nordic Tomahawk Cavalry, Viking Raiders, Farmers, Civilian Archers..."

　　 I have to say that the combat effectiveness of Denmark's early arms is quite good, even the randomly selected arms are not bad-of course, it would be perfect if the obnoxious peasants were replaced by foot tomahawk cavalry or other arms.

　　 But after another thought, the army I brought was all professional soldiers. It was a bit arrogant. Bringing a peasant would at least be closer to the levying system of other nobles. Of course this can only be regarded as self-comfort.

The newly-acquired Danish arms have a total of 374 people. If Richard’s early generals and guards, which are necessary for traveling, can barely approach 400, then the **** military commander Bandak can’t find any reason to attack. .

　　After the decision was made, Richard appointed the loyal Magnus Janitor as the interim governor of Nuremberg, and at the same time commanded the remaining garrison on the island to deal with any emergencies. Richard himself will lead his army out of Kuban by boat at the end of the day's preparation time and head to the mainland to respond to the conscription.

　　 In order to prevent any accidents, Richard asked the soldiers to bring enough food rations. Although he couldn't guarantee that Bandak would be stuck with him on the food issue, it is always good to be prepared. Although he did not personally experience the struggle between the nobles, the descriptions in the many novels that he read at the starting point before crossing still made him somewhat aware and wary.

As the military chief, Bandak was able to embarrass Richard in terms of his authority. There were only those points, either he was deliberately harsh on the rations (if it was issued by the king instead of being carried by himself), or he was deploying operations. At that time, he left the most dangerous task to him. In addition, Richard couldn't think of other ways.
