Rise of the Empire Total War

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

Looking at Mengba City, which was almost built on the edge of the mine, Richard looked indifferent.

Mumba means ore in Ramirez, and the city of Mumba therefore represents the city of ore-this is because the city was built next to a huge mine, even though the mine was exhausted due to overexploitation. , The scale is not as good as before, but it is still the largest gathering place in Mengba Ling.

The city was captured by the Ravana army in the war four years ago, and was subsequently ceded to the victor Ravana Kingdom in a contract signed by the city of Luwen, together with Luwen and Sorrenborg. After that, in order to maintain the local rule, King Ravana also named the first nobleman as the earl of the place (as mentioned above, the same is true for Sorrenburg), but this earl was after Ramirez’s army came back. Immediately after the Earl of Sauronburg hung the flag of his homeland, he announced that it was anyway.

For such a perfidious villain, Richard will not have the slightest mercy. He ordered the whole army to encircle the declining city of Mengba and cut down nearby trees to build camps and siege equipment.

Richard’s artisans were recruited from the Kingdom of Falnik. They are proficient in the construction of siege equipment. They built two tall siege towers outside the city of Mumba in just a few days. The siege tower itself is not outstanding. The most striking thing is the heavy crossbow machine (similar to the Roman scorpion crossbow) on the top of the siege tower. These heavy crossbow machines are equipped with two operators. When the tower is advancing towards the city wall, use the heavy crossbow to shoot down the enemy on the wall.

The crossbow arrows fired by the heavy crossbow machine are thick and long. The steel arrow reflects the dazzling cold light under the sunlight. If it is hit, it will basically be dead or injured. If it is shot into a crowd, it will even directly String a bunch of human gourds.

This is a daunting weapon of terror. This is the black technology of the Romans, but for some reason it appeared in the kingdom of Falnik in this world.

...

Arturo Ortiz has ruled this country as the lord of Mumba City for four years. Although he was the first group of nobles who took refuge in the Kingdom of Ravana in the war that year, he was just a preservation of the family. It's just an expedient measure, don't you see what the end of those nobles who are not willing to take refuge in the end-maybe the Lavannes will worry about fame and not deal with them personally, but this does not mean that they have no other way.

Seeing the deaths and disappearances of the nobles who did not take refuge in the Ravana, Arturo was finally named the lord of Mumba City by King Haraus-all he can control is only Mumba City. , Those barons were given to the knights of the Ravana people. Arturo knew that their purpose was to monitor themselves and prevent them from doing any actions that would endanger the kingdom.

Therefore, Arturo endured for four years. During these four years, he only dared to recruit soldiers secretly, unite with other Ramirez nobles, and finally had a private army with a strong fighting capacity. In addition, he guarded the city. He also used various reasons to strengthen the armament and training of the eight hundred militiamen. He firmly believed that the army of the old country would one day return.

Sure enough, King Owicko led an army to counterattack the Kingdom of Ravana, which was politically turbulent and internally unstable due to the death of the King. Arturo sent a quick horse to swear allegiance to King Owicko and explained himself at the same time. The Ravana people had no choice but to take refuge in those years. He didn't understand the military, he naively thought that King Owick's army could easily destroy the Ravana defenses, defeat the enemy like autumn leaves, and wash away the shame of four years ago.

However, before the good news of the fall of Luwen City, the kingdom's army was defeated on the Luwen River Plain, and the bad news of the king's killing spread to Mengba City.

Arturo knew that most of his own disaster was imminent, and the betrayed Ravana would definitely not let him and his city go. His hunch was very accurate. Only a few days later, Richard's army surrounded the city. In addition to the army he brought from the kingdom, several barons of Mumba City also heard the news and mobilized soldiers to join him. The army, contribute to the kingdom's counterinsurgency-in addition to their selfishness, if they perform well in the war, maybe one of them can become the new Earl of Mengba.

...

"Lord Lord, the Ravana people are starting to attack the city."

In Mengba City’s City Lord’s Mansion, Arturo, who shut himself in the room, listened to the voice of the military commander outside the door. His heart was very bitter. Mengba City was destined to be unable to defend it. With the 800 militia alone, even if he was added The hundreds of private troops trained in the past four years are only in their early thousandths. Even the main force of the kingdom of nearly 10,000 will be defeated by the enemy. What can he do with more than a thousand people?

"Lord Lord..." The voice of the military chief outside the door sounded again, but Arturo interrupted him aloud, "Perros, there is no need to report, the defense of Mengba City depends entirely on you. You just need to deal with the Ravana’s attack with all your strength."

"Yes..." The military commander named Pedro answered hesitantly. I don't know if it was an illusion. He could hear a trace of fatigue and decadence in the lord's slightly hoarse voice.

On the other side, the enlisted infantry from Mabukouling who undertook the first round of offensive tasks pushed the heavy siege tower slowly towards the city wall, and the strong siege tower blocked the sparse shots from the wall for them. The arrows of Mengba City’s militia basically use melee weapons to fight ~www.novelmt.com~ so long-range firepower is very lacking.

But even so, Richard was still unwilling to allow the defenders to shoot his allies unscrupulously. With the command of the expeditionary army commander, all the light infantry in the Kingdom Army were in front of the line. These light infantry were not only justified. The crossbow militia that Chad brought from Kuban, as well as the archers, javelins and even slingers conscripted from various places-even in the Middle Ages, the most primitive slingers existed, but they were able to give to the enemy The damage caused is as humble and ridiculous as being bitten by an insect.

"Prepare!" Standing in front of the light infantry, Sharp (a temporary officer in the former crossbow militia), who was appointed by Richard as the commander of the light infantry, raised his saber and shouted at the same time. The light infantry behind him immediately reloaded. Ammunition, or use a bow to draw an arrow, or an arrow for a crossbow machine, or a sling with stones with water chestnuts-don't ask why there are no javelinmen, just ask because the range is not enough!

When the light infantry were basically reloaded, Sharp slashed with the sharp sword in his hand into the void in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Shoot!"

As soon as his voice fell, a cloud of black arrows leaped into the air, mixed with small black spots that are not easy to be found by the naked eye, and flew across the sky to the city wall of Mengba City, actually directly covering a section of the city wall. Among them, the defending soldiers who could not dodge were shot into hedgehogs alive!
