Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 449: The end of the 2nd Brigade (Part 2)

"Oh, God!"

Looking at the barbarian cavalry brigade getting closer and closer, the line infantry hiding behind the bunker became more fearful. They prayed crazily in their hearts, hoping to call out God to bless them, but the gods will not interfere in the **** world. No matter how they call, God will not show up.

"Don't be afraid! They are also human beings, and they will die if they are hit by a musket!"

Butters Stozzi shouted loudly, and at the same time he drew out the flintlock pistol stuck around his waist, bent over and hid behind the bunker, feeling the trembling of the earth.

Rumble--

The movement of thousands of cavalry rushing together is really impossible to calm down. Cavalry is a powerful force throughout the history of human warfare. Their combat effectiveness is self-evident. Nothing else, but just watching the large-scale cavalry running together. , It is enough to scare off the indecisive infantry!

"No fire! Waiting for orders!"

The officers’ shouts were still ringing in their ears, but most of the soldiers’ fingers trembled violently and couldn’t control them. They looked at the cavalry closer and closer, and finally someone couldn’t help but pulled the trigger in advance. The sound of gunshots sounded as if a switch was turned on. The infantrymen on one front fired one after another, but the bullets they fired couldn't harm the barbarian cavalry who were still out of range!

"Damn it, who made you shoot!"

"Stop shooting! Stop shooting!"

"Damn pig, stop shooting!"

The officer’s rebuke was quickly drowned in the sound of gunshots. The soldiers who fired the bullets quickly realized their fatal mistakes and quickly reloaded themselves without waiting for the officer’s order. But at this moment, four thousand cavalry soldiers stepped on rumble horseshoes. The sound rushed into the range of the flintlock rifle. The soldiers who had not fired fired quickly, but the sporadic gunfire could not cause any damage to the huge cavalry group. The soldiers who were still loading panicked and accelerated their movements. , Some soldiers even raised their guns before they had time to pull out their muskets and hit the barrels, causing them to explode.

"Fire! Fire!"

Bang bang bang ——

Among the sparse gunshots, only a few hapless cavalry were shot and dropped, and most of them changed their bows, drew sharp machetes, raised their heads high, and roared towards the front of the Guard Brigade, facing this. In the scene, the soldiers of the Guard Brigade retreated one after another. They reloaded their muskets and ran back, but they were reprimanded by the officer for not retreating.

"Array! Array!"

"Stick to your post! Don't withdraw!"

They roared, and then raised their flintlock pistols and pulled the trigger at the cavalry who was about to rush into the position. The gunfire rang and a cavalry fell to the ground, but this did not change anything. A few seconds later, a large number of barbarian cavalry rushed in. In the position, use the sharp machete to chop down one after another panicked line infantry. Some soldiers may be able to form a hollow square formation to defend against the enemy in an emergency, but more people run around like headless flies.

"Fight back! Fight back!" An officer roared at the retreating soldiers around him. He picked up the flintlock that was discarded on the ground, and found that there was still unfired ammunition inside, so he picked it up as quickly as possible and aimed it at The barbarian cavalry rushing towards him pulled the trigger. Before he could see the result of the battle, a scimitar swung from the side cut off his left arm.

Watching his subordinates wantonly slaughtered by the barbarian cavalry, Butters, who was surrounded in the hollow phalanx, had a fractured eye and almost vomited blood and fainted. The hollow phalanx he was in contained soldiers from each company in the guard brigade. In order to survive, they gathered around the chief, but now it seems that they are surrounded by barbarian cavalry, and they can't escape.

boom!

Faced with the barbarian cavalry, the artillery who stood at their posts lit the gunpowder piled up around the artillery, and died together with the enemy who tried to capture the artillery. Deafening explosions sounded continuously on the artillery position, in order to prevent it. With such heavy weapons falling into the enemy's hands, those brave soldiers chose to contribute their lives.

On the other side, the first regiment chased by Lumi’s army also witnessed what happened on the position. The regiment commander knew that he could not go back, so he led his men to retreat to the south, and the second regiment was still in the south with King Kalta** If the team engages with the second regiment, it might be possible to save their lives and withdraw to the country. But how could Lumi’s army make them wish, watching the scale of victory fall to him, Lumi’s soldiers, who are not afraid of death, pursue the retreating Winster army, and are still slaughtering the Winster soldiers remaining on the ground. The barbarian cavalry also separated some cavalry immediately and pursued the first regiment that had escaped for their lives.

After that, there were a large number of chasing soldiers, and another team came to their side. The first team, which was already tense, finally collapsed. They abandoned their officers and fled in all directions. Everyone tried to run faster than their comrades. They knew very well. Running fast may be able to escape, but running slow will certainly not survive. So, in order to speed up, most of them abandoned their weapons and took off their marching bags behind their backs, just like running naked.

It is really embarrassing that the invincible and powerful army ended up like this.

...

"Warriors, I dragged you down, and I personally sent you to despair."

At the last moment of his life, the second brigade commander Butters Stozzi finally woke up. He looked at the more than one hundred soldiers in the surrounding square and said with guilt.

"No, sir, it's not your fault."

"Sir, these enemies are too mean."

"Yes, sir, it's not your fault..."

The soldiers’ words made Butters’ eyes moist. He looked at these soldiers who trusted him before he died, and sighed. He stroked the flintlock pistol with no ammunition in his hand~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and said, "You killed me." Well, as a general of the kingdom, I cannot fall into the hands of the enemy."

"No, sir, we can't do this," a soldier refused, and everyone around him agreed. "We can't kill the sir. It's against military discipline."

"It's this moment. What military discipline do you want to talk about?" Butters said with a wry smile. He inserted the flintlock pistol back into the pocket of his waist and looked at the enemy that surrounded the three and three layers of the phalanx. , Then said: "Soldiers, please give me a gun and let me die in this foreign country with you, just like a soldier."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier handed him a musket filled with bullets. After receiving the gun, Butters walked to the first column of the phalanx, looked at the enemy staring at him, and shouted in common language. : "I am the commander of the Second Brigade of the First Army of the Kingdom of Winster, Butters Stozzi, don't think we surrender, please launch an offensive, let us die as a soldier!"

Listening to Butters’ call, a trace of respect flashed in the eyes of the leader of Kurban, who was riding behind the crowd. He nodded and waved his hand. The messenger next to him understood what he meant and shouted: "Offensive! "

"attack!"
