total war rise of empire

Chapter 93 Battle One

However, the warlike Bavarians were itching to kill people at that time, and then they heard about the benefits of the Crusades, and what a fat sheep the Seres are!

The nobles of Bavaria felt that it was not enough for their belligerent reputation to spread throughout the Frankish and German kingdoms, so they wanted to take this opportunity to follow the wave of the Crusaders and spread the reputation of the Bavarians to a level that they had never heard of before. Go above the Greek peninsula!

What's more, there are random robberies and strong orders promised by the church!
As a result, the Bavarian nobles gathered together, regardless of the long distance, they directly drew out some troops and joined the Crusades!

It also greatly reduced the church's logistical ration, otherwise, the church would not agree to the participation of the Bavarians...

Such militant Bavarians naturally produced a lot of real materials. For example, the nobles from all over the country who were recruited by the Crusaders, and the archers who were reluctant to show them in their arms directly accounted for more than half of the Bavarian army!

The Bavarian nobles feel that their army must appear weak in front of the Franks. If they want to gain benefits in the war and publicize their reputation, they must naturally occupy a good position in the Crusaders, at least to show the importance of the Bavarian army Bar!

In this way, the Bavarian nobles were keenly aware of the dirty thinking of the nobles everywhere to preserve their strength. For the powerful and belligerent Bavarian nobles, there was no need to worry about their neighbors daring to fight. typed out!

Naturally, the Bavarian nobles produced a large number of archers, and they didn't have to worry about their neighbors coveting their strength if their strength declined!

As a result, the Bavarians became the part with the highest dispatch rate of archers in the Crusades, and even the High Priest Alibach attracted attention!
This point undoubtedly fueled the Bavarians' warlike vanity even more, which was valued by the commander of the Crusaders and the powerful High Priest of the Church of the Lord of Glory, Alibach!

Therefore, the Bavarians, who are full of fighting spirit, are constantly leading and leading in the march of the Crusaders, wishing to be the first to reach the enemy-occupied area, to have a good start, and to promote the bravery of the Bavarians!
Then, the troops of the Bavarians who were too forward became Lei Zihao's target to weaken the strength of the Crusaders!
The Bavarians have fought against the Franks for generations. They are full of distrust of the Frankish allies in the Crusades, and they think they are strong. They want to make a contribution and gradually separate from the mainstream of the Crusaders!
It is true that Lei Zihao intends to defend the city, but after he heard the news of all kinds of chaos in the march of the Crusaders, he couldn't suppress his small thoughts!
You know, Lei Zihao has elites who are strong enough to make quick raids, and a whole thousand Lancers in his hands!
So, a thousand elite Wei military soldiers with crossbows and a fast troop of a thousand cavalry marched towards the Bavarians ahead!

In order to reduce the load as much as possible and increase the marching speed and stamina, the elite Wei soldiers left all the heavy armor, shields and long weapons except for the iron swords for melee combat and the pedal crossbows and crossbows for long-range use. In the city of Gara!

In this way, the elite soldiers of Wei can barely keep up with the ordinary marching speed of the Lancers!

These two thousand people chose a raised hill to ambush. When the Bavarians strode forward leisurely, the elite crossbows of Wei Wu's soldiers aimed at the Bavarian soldiers who were a little bit astonished!
The brave and militant Bavarians, the warriors and soldiers who are used to fighting, walked in front to show their dignity, and the temporary conscripts who had no desire to fight followed behind, responsible for pushing carts full of supplies, and carrying With marching food and grass!

As a result, the Bavarian warriors walking in front were suddenly exposed to the elite crossbow arrows of the Wei soldiers!

The volley of thousands of crossbows is definitely a nightmare for Bavarian warriors!
These Bavarian warriors with oval shields and wide-backed machetes, even though they were wearing expensive chain armor, looked extra pale in the face of the armor-piercing arrows of the crossbow arrows!
When these Bavarian warriors were suddenly attacked, they were worthy of their belligerent reputation, screaming and holding up their shields and rushed up!
The archers behind also rushed forward with the melee soldiers in front, because the range of the archers could not reach the elite Wei soldiers holding crossbows!
Even the projectile can't catch it!

Compared with the foot crossbow and the hand crossbow, they are two extremes!
The design of the hand crossbow is mainly for close-range shooting weapons that are convenient to carry, while the foot crossbow is a sharp weapon that uses all the mechanical tension to the extreme and is specially used for long-range armor penetration!
Before the appearance of the recurve longbow, the pedal crossbow was the most superior long-range weapon!

Even if the pedal crossbow can only shoot directly, its effective killing range is better than that of ordinary bows and arrows!
The brave men of Bavaria tried their best to resist the long-range projectile units on the opposite side with the thick wooden skinned shield in their hands and the chain armor on their bodies, but they soon regretted their decision...

The strong and tyrannical crossbow bolts easily penetrated the chain armor that the Bavarian warriors were proud of, and ruthlessly pierced into their fragile internal organs!
Even if it was a fluke to block the shooting of the crossbow with the shield, the huge kinetic impact force also blocked the charge of the Bavarian warriors, and even many Bavarian warriors with unstable chassis were directly knocked down by the crossbow bolts that hit the shield!
After a round of volleys, the originally aggressive Bavarian warriors charged into the formation, and suddenly became distorted!

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Bavarian warriors in an efficient manner, the elite soldiers of Wei reloaded their crossbows and launched a second round of volleys!

In order to ensure the maximum killing of the Bavarian warriors in a short period of time, the elite soldiers of Wei did not use the ordinary three-stage shooting method. The number of Bavarian warriors was slightly larger than that of the Wei soldiers. They had to devote all their crossbow bolts to attack the Bavarian warriors momentum!

This approach was very effective. After two rounds of salvo, the Bavarian warriors whose iron chain armor had completely failed were shot terribly. They found that it became so difficult to contact the enemy!

Therefore, after the third round of volleys, the Bavarian warriors who suffered heavy casualties finally dispelled their stupid behavior of facing the crossbow arrows directly, and the archers behind started to move forward!
Bavarian archers accounted for half of the troops!

Immediately, the Bavarian archers saw the rumbling cavalry turning out from behind the hill...

The Lancers, who had been prepared for a long time, decisively launched a charge when the Bavarian hand-to-hand arms and archers were deployed with each other!
The cold lance was pointed at the pale Bavarian archer!
