total war rise of empire

Chapter 109 A Difficult Victory

Normally, in ancient armies fighting, the death of a forward general will greatly shake the morale of the army, not to mention the collapse of the flag of the commander in chief of the Chinese army!
In a cold weapon war where communication basically depends on roaring, the morale of the whole army comes almost entirely from the command of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, and the retreating troops will subconsciously flee in the direction of the commander-in-chief, which is actually the backbone of the entire army!

Therefore, no matter how advantageous the battle form is, as long as the commander-in-chief flag of the central army falls, it will cause a collapse of dominoes. With the command of the enemy, each unit will have to fight on its own. Naturally, it will be easily broken and disintegrated by the enemy one by one!

After the handsome flag fell on the battlefield, only a few generals with high prestige could reluctantly gather some troops to continue to resist, just like the thunder warriors now!
Li Qingmei's Lei Zihao, who was thinking about how to deal with the "uniform temptation" after the victory, was stunned when he saw the battle at the Megara city wall intensified!

This is not a field battle, but a siege battle!
As soon as the commander-in-chief flag of the attacking side of the city fell, the soldiers on the city wall knew very well that their retreat was completely cut off. In this situation, their morale collapsed faster than in a field battle, but the Megara city wall unexpectedly There are still thousands of crusaders fighting fiercely, how can Lei Zihao not be shocked?

He knew very well that the defenders of Megara City had reached the end of their rope, and if this consumption continued, after the core Wei soldiers, Spartan warriors, and Scarlet Crusaders were all killed and wounded, those Seris militiamen would not even be able to maintain it for a minute. If you don't stop, it will completely collapse!
Lei Zihao was able to perform miracles until now, relying entirely on the morale value of a few elites!
These troops are all exchanged for the hard-won belief in war. They are not like shield spear heavy infantry, archers and lancers when they are supplemented. As long as there are gold coins, they can be pulled out as an organization anytime, anywhere!

This is also the reason why Lei Zihao didn't feel bad after the shield spear heavy infantry and archer units were wiped out.

After discovering that the fierce battle on the wall of Megara continued, Lei Zihao immediately recruited Freya and 300 Lancers, leaving only less than [-] Lancers and a group of Siris militiamen who came out from the city to clean up the battlefield to take prisoners .

Soon, Lei Zihao, who returned to Megara City, understood why the Crusaders could continue to persevere!
In fact, the battle between Finn and the Thunder Warrior was too dazzling. The space where the two fought was almost no man's land. It was difficult not to attract Lei Zihao's attention...

What made Lei Zihao feel unbelievable was that the Lei Ming warrior was suppressing the berserk Finn and beating him up!
Every time they collide, Finn will suffer in terms of strength, and over time, Lei Ming will naturally take the lead!
If Warrior Lei Ming hadn't consumed too much stamina in slaughtering the Wei soldiers, Finn might have been defeated!
"Freya, go help Finn and kill that big crusader for me!"

Lei Zihao just glanced at the source of the morale of the Crusaders on the battlefield. Every time the Crusaders were suppressed and repelled by the Scarlet Crusaders and Spartans, they would subconsciously look at the Thunder Warriors, and then gritted their teeth and continued. Fighting fiercely with weapons, the Thunder Warrior's suppression of Finn gave great encouragement to the remnants of the Crusaders!

After all, the Crusaders still have an advantage in terms of local numbers!

This result caused a lot of exhaustion for the Spartan fighters. They fought for too long, and many Spartan fighters found it difficult to raise their shields. Normal soldiers would have already fled, and only this group of strong willpower The Spartans can still hold on until now!
It's a pity that willpower can keep them undefeated, but it can't stop the enemy from killing...

Not only are the Spartan fighters fighting less and less, even the Scarlet Crusaders are also exhausted. As a firefighting team, their fighting time is no less than that of the Spartan fighters!
This battle made Lei Zihao understand that if he wanted to fight for hegemony, it would be impossible to rely solely on a small number of elite troops. At certain times, the crowd tactics would play an unexpected role!

It can be seen that the orc empire can suppress the Eurasian continent for 500 years with simple-minded half-orc cannon fodder!
The 300 Lancers who followed Lei Zihao back to the city, under his command, gave up their horses, held their knights' long swords and shields, and rushed to the city wall to support the battle between the Spartans and the Scarlet Crusade!
As for the Siris Revival Army, which exists in name only... Oh yes, it is more appropriate to call it the Siris Militia now...

These young Siris who have not received any military training have already turned pale from the brutal hand-to-hand combat. Let alone going up to help, it would be a waste of help...

In Lei Zihao's eyes, most of these Seris militiamen who were civilians a week ago were standing on the periphery of the battlefield, hesitating with their weapons raised, neither advancing nor daring to retreat, just standing in a stalemate as onlookers. People who eat melon'...

There is no way, these Seris civilians are not even as good as the cannon fodder of the Crusaders. At least the Crusader cannon fodder will undergo simple military training before the war, and these Serris militiamen are fighting fiercely because of the survival crisis of Megara. The ones who were chased away and picked up weapons on the city wall are useless at all except for charging...

The battle on the city wall of Megara was completely supported by the remaining elite!

However, when Freya, holding a giant sword, joined Finn and the Thunder Warrior in the battle, the balance of victory finally shifted to Lei Zihao's side!
Now Lei Zihao has begun to believe the legend that Li Qingmei told him about slaughtering a noble lord with one sword...

In a small-scale army combat force, a high-end combat force only needs to use the terrain to keep itself from being surrounded and maintain its physical strength, and it is really not a myth to kill a hundred people and kill a thousand people!

Of course, in a head-to-head confrontation, high-end combat power will not work. No matter how strong a person is, he will die of exhaustion in the face of overwhelming arrow rain and an impenetrable encirclement!

However, on the narrow city wall, this kind of high-end combat power is the best help to open a breakthrough. If it is matched with a team of elites, it will definitely make the defenders pay a heavy price!

The price Lei Zihao paid was that all the elite soldiers of Wei were wiped out, the Spartans were on the verge of being wiped out, and the Scarlet Crusaders could barely hold on...

With the addition of Freya, the Thunder Warriors are gradually losing ground. Both Finn and Freya are the pinnacles of the great knights. One is a dexterous type and the other is a frontal hard steel type. They work together to make up for their shortcomings. It's said to be perfect!
If Lei Ming's armor was not thick enough, he would have been killed on the spot, but even so, Lei Ming's warrior was about to be defeated!

As long as Lei Ming is defeated, those remnants of the Crusaders will be vulnerable!
