Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 72: Battle of Diazde Plain (Part 1)

   "We should take the initiative!"

   Richard said firmly in German.

"Why?" Hubbard, the military chief who was also in the conference hall, frowned slightly and asked: "The rebels are three times as powerful as mine. Even with the reinforcements you bring, they are also at a disadvantage. Rather than fighting the enemy in the field. It's better to resist the enemy by relying on Aosta's strong walls."

   King Anders nodded slightly after hearing this, obviously agreeing with Hubbard's view, which is generally accepted by everyone in Aosta.

"Be brave and easy after a strong wall." Richard chuckled and said a proverb from a previous Irishman, and then said: "Maybe the walls of Aosta can withstand the rebels, but there will never be a way to help you. To defeat the enemy, you are the only one who can defeat the rebels."

"The warriors under my command have experienced battles of all sizes, and every victory is achieved by their weapons and shields, rather than relying on solid walls." Richard said, looking at King Anders. : "And this time, we will be no exception!"

   "……"

Facing Richard’s words, both Hubbard and King Anders were silent. After a long time, King Anders said in his old voice: "Earl Richard, I admire you and Your soldier’s courage, but I still can’t put all the soldiers desperate to fight the rebels with you."

   Richard heard his eyes dimmed slightly, he sighed, got up slowly, and said, "I have seen the future of the Kingdom of Falnik. This future is dim and full of despair."

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, even the strongest fortress will be destroyed one day. Your Excellency Hubbard should know this too." Richard said, looking at the military commander Hubbard, who nodded, so he Then he said: "Instead of holding on to the wall until the day the wall is breached, it is better to take the initiative to attack with me. What's more, since I was blocked by the Earl of Kuban, I have never failed in every war I have participated in. I am most loyal. The warriors of China can always help me win the victory, even in the Farnick Kingdom on the other side of the ocean, we will not fail!"

   "……"

King Anders remained silent, but Hubbard, the military commander on the side, was a little moved. He echoed: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the last elite of the kingdom to fight side by side with Earl Richard to defend Aosta. !"

Seeing that Hubbard was on Richard’s side, King Anders sighed, and could only reluctantly agree with them, saying: "In this case, Hubbard, you will lead the five hundred guards. Act Earl Chad, I will mobilize the citizens of Aosta before the rebels arrive, and recruit a new group of militias to replenish your army."

"Earl Richard." After instructing Hubbard, King Anders looked at Richard again. He looked complicated and said: "The future of the entire Falnick Kingdom rests in your hands, which is ironic. , The fate of a kingdom depends on foreigners to save it."

   "Hehe..." What can Richard say in the face of such an old king? He can only laugh non-stop to ease the embarrassment in his heart.

  ……

   "Dear Turgoyar Ingiard will arrive in her loyal city of Aosta with her noble Royal Highness Princess Asa tomorrow!"

The next day, news that the noble army was about to arrive in Aosta spread throughout the streets and alleys of the royal capital. Regarding the rebellious Yar, the attitude of the citizens of the royal capital changed from disgust to the speed of the noble army’s march. Awe, if it weren’t for the knowledge that the noble army could not attack the city to replace King Anders at once, I’m afraid the word of mouth would have become "His Majesty Ingiard will arrive in his loyal Austria with Queen Asa tomorrow. Star City."

   The fickleness of human nature is evident from this.

Not to mention the attitude of the citizens of Aosta towards Ingiard, Richard, who had been groomed for a day, finally led the army with Hubbard, the military commander, to leave this undercurrent surging city and stationed on the noble rebels. Go to the plains of Diazd.

This army that has placed the last hope of the royal family has a total of 1,300 soldiers. In addition to Richard’s 323 soldiers and 120 farmers in charge of logistics, there are 500 elites. The royal imperial guards and more than 400 urban militiamen hurriedly called up.

Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of Richard’s more than three hundred soldiers should not be disappointed. The combat effectiveness of the Royal Guards should not disappoint Richard, and the more than four hundred urban militias... the combat effectiveness is probably a little higher than that of Richard’s peasants. , Barely the same level as the town militia.

After a few hours of marching, the Kingdom Army headed by Richard arrived at the Diaz Plains where the noble rebels were stationed ~www.readwn.com~ Perhaps it was the information obtained in advance from the scouts sent out when the Kingdom Army arrived. , The noble rebels, twice the number of the former, have left their garrison, lined up on the plains, waiting for the enemy to throw themselves into the net.

   The formations sent by the noble rebels are not much different from those on the mainland. They are also light infantry in the front and heavy infantry in the back, except for the cavalry deployed on the two wings.

In addition, the infantry of the Farniks does not list a tight formation. They only use a loose formation to fight the enemy. This makes Richard's heart happy. In the cavalry's destructive charge, the loose infantry The formation is undoubtedly more prone to breakdown and defeat than a tight formation.

   "Array!"

   After entering the battlefield, the Kingdom Army immediately set out a formation under Richard's order, but after the formation, the two armies can be described as distinct. The Kuban army in the Chinese army was led by Richard himself. The early general guards, feudal knights, and Nordic Tomahawk cavalry were deployed in front, followed by a small number of Viking raiders and civilian archers; the two-wing Kingdom Army had no formation at all. At any rate, scatter away in a mess.

As Richard expected, after seeing the early generals and feudal knights lined up in front, chaos appeared in the aristocratic rebel army on the opposite side. Everyone looked at the tall monsters and horses in horror. Although the knights can see the human form, the strange things under the four feet that don't know what things are really unable to integrate with all the creatures in their cognition.

Looking at the chaotic rebel army formation on the opposite side, Richard sneered with disdain. He slowly pulled out the knight's sword at his waist, raised it high, and shouted in German: "Knights of the Holy Roman Empire, Let us lift up our lances, and use blood and fire to flatten the ignorant heretics on the opposite side!"

   "Offensive!"
