Rise of the Empire Total War - Chapter 553

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

Because of the war in the Kingdom of Cyps, the civilians living outside the city moved with their families and fled to safe cities for refuge. Therefore, the imperial army did not encounter a civilian when marching in a hurry, so there was no need to worry about revealing their whereabouts.

In the state of rapid marching, the imperial army only took a little more than half a day to reach the appropriate ambush spot that the scouts found in advance. It was a road with small woods on both sides, which was the only way to the city of Cyps. In the past few years, many thieves chose to rob passers-by, making this area notorious, but later robbed an imperial nobleman’s caravan. The disaster was imminent, and the imperial army was completely encircled and suppressed, and peace was restored. .

And now, this area is destined to become famous again.

This area is only half a day away from the city of Cypress, so Wilbur and his soldiers can rest for one night and wait for the Sarkis army to throw themselves into the net during the day.

Wilbur was full of confidence, he didn’t dare to say anything else, but when it comes to ambush alone, no country’s army is more suitable than them. I was caught off guard by a volley of firearms while marching, and watched the surrounding comrades die. Under the bullet that didn’t know where it was shot, apart from the miserable howls of comrades in the ears and the harsh gunshots, no one could accept all of this calmly and still maintain a fighting heart.

…

The next morning, after a night’s rest, the energetic imperial army finally waited for the Sarkis’ army. Their army consisted of more than 2,000 light infantry and close to 2,000 heavy infantry, because they mainly cooperated with the siege. There is no need for expensive cavalry, as everyone knows that this gives a certain convenience to the imperial army ambushing them.

Rumble–

The Sarkis soldiers holding the yellow battle flag stepped through the woods. They casually hung their shields on their spears, and then carried them forward. They were talking and laughing with the people around them, and there was no wartime. Tension. The fall of the city-state of Pross gave them a feeling of underestimating the enemy, not paying attention to the Sipus Kingdom army, which had been besieged for several days.

“It is said that the army of the Holy Roman Empire will come to support, but we are going to the city of Cyps soon, and we still haven’t seen even a half-person figure.”

“I’m afraid they are just a bunch of cowards!”

“Hahaha……”

The roaring sound from the marching ranks spread into the bushes on both sides, and into the ears of the soldiers, making them a little uncomfortable. I want to wait a moment to let you know who is a group of cowards.

In order to ensure that the ambush had an unexpected effect, the soldiers kept igniting the attack, and waited for Sarkis’s army to pass halfway before attacking. When the sound of the first shot that marked the beginning of the attack sounded, the whole bush suddenly seemed to be thrown into a string of firecrackers. The soldiers on the outside shot over one piece.

The gunfire was mixed with the explosion of a lot of grenades. When the enemies were crowded together, the grenades equipped by the grenadiers became the best weapons. One after another, grenades larger than a fist fell from the sky. , Smashed it on the head of Sarkis soldiers, smashing it to the blood. A few seconds later, just as they guessed what it was, the grenade exploded suddenly, making countless shrapnel scattered like a goddess. Flying around, killing and wounding a large number of soldiers around.

The Chinese army that had been ambushed suddenly disintegrated, and the soldiers lurking in the bushes chased them out and took the initiative to attack the front and rear of Sarkis’ army. The front and rear also chose immediately after hearing the gunshots. Supporting the battlefield, the two sides immediately fell into battle, and the scene appeared chaotic. And at this moment, the cavalry who had been ambushed in advance came out of their hiding place. The three hundred cavalry were divided into two parts, each ambushing at both ends of the ambush circle, and they screamed towards the chaotic Sarkis army. Using a volley of carbines at long distances not only killed the Sarkis soldiers, but also dampened their morale.

Encountered head and tail, the morale of Sarkis’s army plummeted again, especially after seeing the ruthless shooting of the mainstay heavy infantry, they lost their fighting spirit at that time, and fled around like their previous comrades in the Chinese army.

“shooting!”

Bang bang bang ——

In the midst of gunfire, Sarkis army commander Tonya looked around, clenched his saber in his hand, and shouted: “Don’t panic! Don’t panic! Line up! Get out!”

“what–“

“Mom…I want to go home…”

The response to him was either screams of shots or poor prayers. Some soldiers wanted to obey his orders and rush out of the ambush ring, but were shot and killed in rows on the way. A Sarkis heavy infantry holding a shield intent to block the shooting of the bullet, but hearing a muffled sound while being hit on the shield usually made him stagger back a few steps and almost fell, waiting for him to check , But was horrified to find that the shield was hit by a bullet, probably because of the distance, the bullet was stuck on the shield, and there were several shocking cracks around the pit.

Before the soldier was grateful for his luck, he heard a gunshot in front of him, and a blood hole appeared directly in the chain mail on his body. The heavy infantry looked up unexpectedly and just saw a line. The infantry was standing upright in front of the musket, taking out the paper shell bullets from the ammunition bag at the waist, and filling the musket. He just felt his whole body strength lost from this blood hole, the soles of his feet were soft, he knelt on the ground, and then lay on his back in a pool of blood.

On this short section of the road through the woods, blood was already flowing into a river, and a large number of corpses fell to the ground in a random fashion. The blood flowing from them almost stained the earth red ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ gathered up to human ankles, those The Sarkis soldiers who were divided and surrounded by the Imperial Army brought a few blood blossoms with them every time they ran.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers on the battlefield, Tonya became more and more frightened. He turned to look at his guard, and then wanted to find a place to break through. However, before he found it, he saw a group of muskets. The soldier was slowly advancing towards him and stopped a few meters away. Tonya was shocked, and subconsciously pointed his sword at the team of soldiers, and roared: “Charge, charge with me!”

When the words fell, he drove the horse to run, but one body after another on the ground slowed the speed of the horse. Before he ran, Tonya’s pupils full of horror reflected that he could see during his lifetime. The last scene!

“Raise a gun!”

The officer standing on the left side of the queue yelled indifferently, his saber was held high at the same time, the next second, the command to “shoot” came out of his mouth, and the saber in his hand slashed hard, a series of gunshots sounded, and the gunpowder burned. The gunpowder produced later spewed out of the muzzle, enveloping them.

After the gun smoke cleared, Tonya and several of his guard knights had been shot and fell from the horse. The remaining people had no intention to fight after seeing the commander’s death, and they were completely disintegrated.
