total war rise of empire

Chapter 101 Megara Defensive Battle IV

"kill!!!"

Pfft, the shielded spear heavy infantry who had collapsed in formation was pierced through the abdomen by a crusader wearing chain mail and a nose helmet!
This mercenary from the Provence region of the Frankish Kingdom kicked away the helpless heavy infantry with shields and spears, pulled out his long sword, and continued to fight forward with friendly troops pouring in around him!
Whoosh whoosh~
A series of sounds of crossbow string tensioning sounded, and the elite halberds of the Wei military soldiers stabbed over, blocking the raging wave of crusaders!

Tens of meters away from the city head, the continuous Spartan war cry resounded. Teams of Scarlet Crusaders were like steamrollers. Under the leadership of Finn, they acted as firefighters and attacked the broken city wall of Megara. At the entrance, kill the pressing Crusaders back to the city!
The city of Megara has already become a killing field, and the Siris revival army has been crippled in fierce battles. Lei Zihao had to reorganize the Siris remnants time and time again, and fill in some Siris militiamen to fill the gap. The city walls of Megara, which are gradually unable to stand full of people!
As for the shield and spear heavy infantry system, it has long since disappeared, and the remaining soldiers were incorporated into the reorganized Siris Revival Army, acting as the captain of the corps leader to make up for the deaths of a large number of officers in the Siris Revival Army. Post left vacancies!

Finally, after the Scarlet Crusaders No. 11 firefighting, this wave of Crusaders' attack was completely collapsed. The remaining conscripts and cannon fodder disappeared like the receding tide, leaving only the wailing wounded on the ground and the forever unable to survive. Comrades who stand up again...

The innermost body-fitting soft leather armor is covered with a layer of light chain mail, and Lei Zihao, who also wears a chain armor on the outermost, is holding a knight's round shield that can cover half of his body. holding the long sword, panting and looking at the retreating crusaders, silently calculating in his heart:

"This should be the fourth attack of the Crusaders. The Church of the Lord of Glory really doesn't take human life seriously. Every attack is almost as powerful as the first wave. It's paralyzing. After four attacks, I'm still stunned by my arrows. It’s almost all shot!”

Lei Zihao was very puzzled. The Crusaders had suffered more than half their casualties so far. Apart from the reserves and cavalry that had not moved, there were only two to thirty thousand dead and injured remnants left. How did they maintain the morale to continue fighting? of?
After the fourth wave of attacking Crusaders retreated, Alibach divided the retreating troops into pieces. The elite reserves who had not gone to the battlefield directly unloaded their weapons and lined up in ten horizontal lines, and then several nobles The person who leads the troops shall issue an "Eleven Killing Order" to him!
Facing the [-]th killing order of the thousands of reserve troops, the two [-] remnant soldiers did not dare to resist. The Lei Ming warrior stared at the execution soldiers with two huge axes like a pinning needle.

Alibach still remembered that when the eleventh killing order was executed for the first time, a group of mercenaries with little loss pulled out their weapons and tried to resist. As a result, Lei Ming rushed in with only axes. An hour later, this group of mercenaries Not a single intact body of the soldier was left!

That scene left a very deep impression on Alibach, and at the same time, he hid his grievances even deeper...

After killing people again, Alibach used the church's teachings and material encouragement to preach to the Crusaders who escaped the eleventh killing order, and reorganized them. Naturally, the nobles and deacons below were responsible for these things.

Alibach himself came to Lei Ming's side and looked at his pair of sharp ax blades that had been wiped off with blood. Judging from his experience, even half-orcs known for their strength could barely wield them. The giant ax, in Lei Ming's hands, was as light as an ordinary sword!
"Samurai Thunder, it's up to you next time. I'll let those crusaders charge up first. You just need to take our reserve team and follow up to seize the city gate."

"Yes, I understand." Lei Mingweng replied angrily, without any emotional fluctuations, as if for him, storming the city wall, killing people and seizing the door was just a common task.

In the city of Megara, Lei Zihao's soldiers were trying to clean up the corpses on the city while the Crusaders were resting, and set fire to the ladder that had not been removed, and burned the corpses below the city as well. The war among the Lisians is a battle for the survival of the nation. Either you die or I die. The crusaders commanded by the church had already put down their words at the moment Lei Zihao refused to surrender, and wanted to make the entire city of Megara barren!

Of course, Lei Zihao's soldiers had no intention of keeping the wounded Crusaders prisoners, and they were all burned to ashes...

Lei Zihao looked at the accumulated killing experience of more than 7 people, but he did not feel relieved at all. After repelling the fourth wave of Crusaders, Lei Zihao knew very well that his men and horses were approaching their limit!

The Siris Revival Army has almost become the Siris militia. Although the number is not small, [-]% of the soldiers in it are young and strong Siris formed temporarily before the war!

And Lei Zihao's troops directly under him can't reap the benefits. The huge number of the enemy and us makes the war continue in the brutal hand-to-hand combat. A mere few thousand archers can't stop the simultaneous attack of tens of thousands of people, let alone Crusaders were not barbarians, they had shields, armor, and trebuchets!

The crusaders' trebuchets were paralyzed as early as the third wave of attack due to frequent use, and the service life of this crude product was like this...

Lei Zihao was not saddened by the existence of the Siris Revival Army in name only, the most important thing was the casualties of his direct troops!

The establishment of a thousand shielded spear heavy infantry has been abolished in the total war system due to more than [-]% casualties...

More than half of the archers were killed or injured. The arrows carried by the archers had long been used up. They had actually been replaced with equipment pulled from the corpses and became glorious melee soldiers...

The original organization of archers was actually cancelled, and they were mixed into the hodgepodge of the Siris revival army!
This army, which had only 5000 people before the war, was now pieced together by Lei Zihao, and it was forced to reach nearly [-] people, well, nearly [-] new recruits...

The remnants of the shield and spear heavy infantry and the remnants of the archers were all incorporated into the ranks to serve as grassroots officers!
In fact, this kind of forced military system is very loose, the soldiers don't know the officers at all, and how much combat power they can display can only be based on luck...

But no matter what, it's better to be organized than to be messed up...

The most terrible thing is that the elite soldiers of Wei and the general guard of Sparta, whom Lei Zihao was proud of, had only about 1000 people left in the repeated battles for the top of the city!
In exchange for the price these elites paid, more than 6 Crusaders troops disappeared!
