Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 "Offensive!"

The port of Malthus City has been occupied by dozens of warships flying the flag of the Orioles. From the warships, a steady stream of heavily armed soldiers walked down. These soldiers did not stop after boarding the solid land of the port. They formed the formation at the fastest speed and killed the city defense army hurriedly coming from the street not far away.

　　 These soldiers are the elite foot knights under Richard's command. These foot knights did not lose anyone in the battle in Riyadh, and naturally they would not be killed in this small place.

　　 "Charge! For Your Majesty Caesar!"

Walking feudal knights in full body armor took firm steps, erected the knight-shaped shield and slammed into the city defense infantry who had not yet listed their formation. The heavy body and the shield instantly knocked over the enemy in front of them. Then they wielded their long swords to fight against the chaotic enemy. The leather armor worn by the infantry of the city defense army could not defend against the attack of sharp knights’ swords. Under the attack of the knights, the leather armor was easily torn like a fragile piece of paper. The sword pierced the soldier’s abdomen and penetrated into the body. Passed out from the back, bringing up the scarlet blood.

Behind the walking feudal knights, there are more burly Viking raiders and walking Nordic Tomahawk cavalry. These strong warriors from Scandinavia wield terrifying tomahawks, screamed and smashed into the crowd. , And immediately set off a rain of blood.

　　 Under the battle axe of these Nordic warriors, the city defense army, which was already unable to resist, was quickly defeated, screaming, throwing away their armor, and fleeing in all directions.

　　 The current situation of this port town is beyond Richard's expectation. It is not on the front line of the battle between the Royal Army and the noble rebels. The entire town even has more than two hundred city defense forces.

This made Richard even more puzzled. When he arrived here for the first time, he had completely blackened his eyes on the extent of the war. There was no source of intelligence. The only thing he knew was that the war was still going on as the sailor captives said. At a stalemate.

Thinking about it now, this stalemate is a bit intriguing. It may be that the Kingdom Army gained the upper hand but was repelled while continuing its offensive. The two sides are in a stalemate; it may also be that the noble rebels have surrounded the capital of Aosta. Always unable to break into the city, the two sides are in a stalemate.

If it is the former, Malthus, a town bordered by the noble rebels in the royal family, should have been taken by the Royal Army. But if it is the latter, Richard feels that he should not go to this muddy water. This kind of pig teammates It's useless, and Richard won't be over at the critical moment.

　　 This question was not answered until the soldiers captured the town hall. Richard's soldiers captured the mayor of Malthus alive and forcibly captured the frightened old man in front of Richard.

　　 Faced with Richard's question, despite the extreme fear in his heart, the mayor still forced his composure and said everything he knew.

The war broke out more than a month ago. It was caused by the assassination of Crown Prince Goodfried again. Although the young crown prince was lucky to escape again this time, he was sharply edged a few centimeters under his right eye. A hideous wound was drawn, and the blood almost stained his face red.

　　 This made King Anders extremely angry. After investigation, all kinds of evidence pointed to his spy chief Inguiard. The old king ordered the arrest of Inguiard, but he was spotted by the opponent in advance and escaped. Inguiard, who fled back to the fiefdom, decisively set off a rebellion, claiming that his wife, Princess Asa, is the more suitable ruler of the Kingdom of Falnik, and his aristocratic allies responded.

　　 A rebellion that swept the entire kingdom broke out.

　　 At the beginning of the war, the noble rebels used their military advantage to launch a fierce attack on the Kingdom Army, and they captured several towns one after another. Finally, they were defeated by the Kingdom Army on the only way to Aosta. The commander-in-chief of the Kingdom Army was King Anders’ childhood playmate and the son of a humble coachman. Although he was criticized because of his origin, he was not affected by this. Instead, he became famous by relying on the king’s trust.

　　 Then, the Kingdom Army pursued victories to regain several towns that had been occupied in succession, and then invaded the fief of a nobleman in the Allied Ingiard, and used its military force to force the opponent out of the city and surrender. But the Kingdom Army’s counter-offensive can only be so. The regained noble rebels came back after rectifying the army, and surrounded the main force of the Kingdom Army in the city named Manansi.

　　The main forces of both sides are in a stalemate in the city named Manan, and no one can free up their hands to open up new battlefields elsewhere. This is what the sailor captives say they are in a stalemate.

After listening to the mayor’s narration, Richard’s heart moved and he seemed to have discovered a fighter plane-if the facts are as the mayor said, then Richard and his army can show their talents, with his elite soldiers still there. The aristocratic rebels in the besieged city have come to kill for a thousand consecutive times.

More importantly, there is no cavalry in an island country like Falnik. The soldiers of the kingdom have not even seen the cavalry. Richard has every reason to believe that when he leads over a hundred heavy cavalry to the nobles. When the rebels start a charge, the opponent will most likely be frightened by the armored monsters they have never seen before, fleeing in all directions and defeating them.

　　 Just like the way the Indians saw the Spanish conqueror cavalry after the Spanish landed in the Americas in history, in the eyes of the native Indians who had never seen horses, the tall war horses were as frightening as the monsters in tribal legends.

Thinking of this, Richard asked him to let all the horses locked in the warship go down. After staying on the ship for so long, the horses and humans could not stand it. Richard had to rely on them to break the noble rebel army. Be nice to these loyal war horses.

Two days after repairing in Malthus City, Richard took the soldiers out of the town and drove towards Manan City. In order to consolidate this temporary naval base, Richard asked the sailors to leave the warship to temporarily serve as the defense of the town, not only In order to defend the town, but also to suppress the Xiao Xiaos in the city.

　　Although these sailors may seem to struggle against the regular army, if they only suppress the mob, they are as fierce as the hungry wolves entering the flock.
