, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of the Empire, Total War!

Good things do not go out, evil things go for thousands of miles.

News of the killing of the village by the Holy Roman Empire army quickly spread under the impetus of the people. The communicator concealed the imperial army’s motives for the killing of the village. The man-eating beasts instigated the Osa people in the occupied area of ​​the empire to rise up.

For a time, the reputation of the Holy Roman Empire army on the Osa Peninsula declined rapidly (although it was not very good at first), almost to the extent that everyone shouted, demonstrations and riots to expel the imperial forces appeared in various cities, and a large number of enthusiastic youths Respond to the call of the resistance organization, join the resistance army, and fight against the empire.

In just one month, dozens of powerful rebels appeared in the occupied area of ​​the empire. They held high to expel the Holy Roman Empire, restored the flag of national independence, attacked the strongholds and patrols of the Fourth Army, and attacked the local empire. Immigrants took their property away, and people were brutally tortured.

The city-states bordering the imperial occupation area remained silent as if they were unanimous at this time. They stood on the sidelines and prepared to observe the force of the imperial garrison. He directly tore his skin and sent troops into the occupied area, but if the rebels were easily suppressed, they would continue to maintain a barely peaceful peace.

The so-called single spark can start a prairie fire. Seeing the rebels sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, the fourth army commander Rudolf Vrba in Amatlia finally decided not to suppress them anymore and exposed the sharp fangs of the army to everyone. In front of him, it happened that he also received Richard’s permission, and ordered the legionaries to divide the way and suppress the rebels respectively.

This time, Rudolph decided to change his previous benevolent policy and no longer be merciful to all those who dared to resist the empire.

…

On April 5, 1129 of the continental calendar, Ornus von Frank and visitors from afar from the Roman Empire had just arrived in the Saint-La Islands, and they were anchored in a port city above to supplement supplies. At the same time, the Fourth Army was based in regiments. , Launched an offensive to the various rebels around the Amatria stronghold.

In addition to the Fourth Army, the Ossa auxiliary army recruited from the local area was also ordered to accompany the army. Considering that the main force of the war was line infantry equipped with muskets, the auxiliary army accompanying the army only brought a small number of heavy infantry and a large number of light infantry. And cavalry, the former is used to deal with possible close combat, and the latter two are used to chase down routs.

Rudolf Vrba was very confident in his army’s combat effectiveness, and even the Osa’s regular army was not their opponent. How could the so-called resistance army formed by the rabble defeat the Fourth Army, which was equipped with new muskets?

This is indeed the case. In the first battle on April 11, when the rebel army with more than 3,000 fighters attacked the town, it happened that the first regiment of the second brigade arrived in time, and the two sides lay down outside the city. The battle is head-on. A group of twenty artillery guns relied on the advantage of range to bombard the opposing rebel army indiscriminately. A large number of artillery shells roared and landed in the crowd. One round of shelling could take the lives of hundreds of people.

The rebels wanted to wait for work, waiting for the imperial army from afar to take the initiative to attack, but they were overwhelmed by their wave of indiscriminate bombing. They were forced to take the initiative to attack, and the Holy Roman Empire armed with advanced firearms would undoubtedly take the initiative to attack. They are seeking their own way of death. These rebel soldiers with a rate of less than 20% of the armor screamed and launched a charge. They were shot and killed by another round of volley. Before the second round of volley began, their morale fell to the ice valley, turned and fled, and did not have the courage to continue facing the imperial army.

At this moment, a regiment of 900 carbine cavalry led hundreds of auxiliary cavalry out from the flank of the Imperial Army, whizzing towards the fleeing Resistance Army. As soon as the Imperial Army’s cavalry appeared, the battlefield situation was even more unlikely to reverse. Those soldiers who flee wished that they could have two more legs to run past the cavalry, one by one, they used their strength to escape, but they were still overtaken by the four-legged imperial cavalry, or were shot and killed by carbines at a distance, or Slashed under the horse by a sharp knight sword.

The first battle ended in this way. Except for the first half of the rebels’ active offensive, the rest of the time was the imperial cavalry chasing and killing the rout soldiers on the battlefield. There were countless rebel soldiers who died under the sword of the cavalry. It can be described as corpses all over the field, the whole land is stained red with blood.

After the chasing cavalry returned to the team, the commander of the regiment learned that they had captured less than 400 prisoners of war. For these prisoners of war, a group of commanders resolutely fulfilled the military’s order and executed them to death. They cut down a large number of trees from the nearby woods and made them into crosses. Then they crucified the prisoners on the cross and inserted them in the connecting town. On both sides of the road.

These prisoners of war who were crucified will not die soon~www.mtlnovel.com~ While they have to endure the pain of being penetrated by foreign bodies, they have to endure the torture of being exposed to the sun without eating or drinking until they truly Die.

There is a group of example, and the rest of the army responsible for suppressing the rebellion has also learnt from it. All captured prisoners of war are sentenced to crucifixion. This cruel punishment undoubtedly deterred the civilians who were still hesitating to join the resistance army. The morale of the rebels was hit. Many of them thought they were not afraid of death, but if they were to die in this way, they would have their legs weakened by fright. Death was not terrible. What was terrible was being tortured to death.

Suddenly, the development momentum of the rebel forces in the imperial occupation area was hit head-on. The civilians who were frightened by the crucifixion gave up the idea of ​​participating. Once they walked out of the city, they would see the roads being stuck on both sides of the road. The blood-stained cross was nailed to a naked prisoner of war. Long iron nails pierced through many places on his body, revealing a hideous wound. This is not the end, no need to get close, they can hear it. The mournful shouts or faint groans from the prisoners of war are enough to leave a very deep psychological shadow on a sane adult, and it is enough to scare away a vacillating person.

Rudolph liked this effect. He was also worried about how to deal with the possible rebellions discussed by the military staff. He did not expect to solve it with this simplest and rude method. If the effect is not bad, he even Want to promote the commander of a regiment of the second brigade.
