Conquista this Bullet Online Battle 167

Hey what's up guys this is Oakley and we're gonna be playing some awesome awesome medieval 2. I'm gonna be playing as Venice as you can see here arrayed out with some vastly armored guys just tons and tons of rank upon rank of heavily armored guys. Venetians are crazy when it comes to that. My opponent is going to be Portugal so let's go ahead and get to the build. My main line here is going to be this Venetian heavy infantry so four of those and then I have Venetian archers screening in front of that. One unit of hand gunners positioned to the front. You can see all of these guys with so much plate armor they can take a beating for sure. In front of that feudal knights kind of peppering the front. On the right flank I have two more mobile infantry the dismounted feudal knights. Normally these guys look super badass but in this case they're not that impressive considering they're more armored counterparts. I have done the same thing on this wing with dismounted feudal knights and then I have a little bit more of a maneuverable wing positioned all the way over here on the far left. Dismounted broken lances in this case with hand gunners in the front. Knights Templar are going to be screening and my general's bodyguard can be reinforcing in the rear. So I'm going for a very spread out approach. Just want to start harassing and laying down the fire. My opponent has the Portuguese force. He has a lot of these conquistadores. His cavalry build is rather interesting. So he has two or his conquistador general's bodyguard. He actually brought three generals bodyguard. There's two more over here and a conquistador in the middle. So lots of heavy cav. I think he has my cav beat. In the rear dismounted conquistadores. These guys also extremely well armored. So it's going to be a battle of the armored forces. In the middle he's got some light infantry the sword militia just to get in and amongst my ranks and then some heavy dismounted knights. Dismounted conquistadores. Pushing on the right flank is going to be conquistadores and Portuguese knights. So he's doing a heavy push. Forcing my lines back in the front. Screening this. He's going to have these aventuros which are going to be these pikes. So good move. Just sending these guys forward to screen his units. Absorbing a lot of my fire and kind of allowing his guys to push forward. We missed a little bit of the action here of my guys getting charged by his general's bodyguard here. My knights Templar are going to be getting a decent engagement. Especially with my dismounted lances in on that fight to help reinforce. General's bodyguard caught out in the open a little bit. He's going to pull out of his cav. But all of his moves here were forced. Basically done to you know rush my guys. Not allow me to get the skirmish advantage like I was anticipating. And then initial disruption was done by his cavalry. Now you can watch all along the line. Pike's doing a good job of doing initial disruption. My guys Venetian heavy infantry are very good. They'll chew through his men. But here comes wave upon wave of his guys. My Venetian archers not being able to do the kiting they would have otherwise liked. My lines here in the front are going to hold steady. However we're getting charged by tons and tons of infantry. He's going to be his light guys. So I'm not too worried about that. However heavy infantry columns coming in. He's going to just start to surround me. This is getting kind of scary. My outer perimeter here Venetian heavy infantry is going to get run over by his general's bodyguard. More dismounted guys in the back. Going to be taking some hits. I do have most of my cavalry uncommitted as opposed to my opponent having committed most of his. So he's going to come and try and intercept my massive cavalry force. I'm sending around the flank to try and get some of his general's bodyguards units. Pushing the flank and I'm trying to commit here. Breaking through the center. He's going to take out my archers. My main line is also breaking through. So my heavy infantry getting cut to pieces somehow by his spearmen backed up by other forces. So I am all out collapsing down through the center. I only have a couple units holding strong. My Venetian heavy archers here are going to be getting some nice reinforcing shots. My saving grace is going to be these hand gunners that we're getting some awesome volleys to support my men. They're now going to start to pivot and support this front. This is where I'm trying to hold strong. I actually have two units of heavy gunners. I'm going to be here unleashing against his Contista Duras. I'm going to disengage my heavy gunners and just continue to get the shots on. Over in this melee brawl it seems like I'm going to be winning out. Although it's going to be a grinding fight again because Contista Duras are some of the best infantry in the game. Once they get their charge off they are nigh unstoppable. So I'm having to pour a lot into that. I've been able to break these Contista Duras with the conserved fire of my hand gunners. So like I said these guys are going to be helping me to create a buffer between the region in the middle where I've absolutely been destroyed by his huge swarming tactics. So they're going to create a buffer. Allow me to win this flank and then start pushing forward slowly but surely. He's got a couple of light infantry in the back who are now going to come back and try and stem the tide of my advance on this side. He's going to try and re-engage but my heavy infantry are here to tango. Hold those guys back. He's going to send in some more reinforcements. More Contista Duras. This could be problematic for me. I do still have some of my Venetian archers finally going to be able to get the shots they wanted off. I have Venetian archers continuing to fire into this mess and now the battle has slowed down somewhat. Most of his units are going to be engaged. These light units being pretty good for just providing overwhelming numbers. On this flank over here my cavalry has gotten into a rather shaky fight although I do have the numbers advantage. He may have the quality with these Conquista Duras. But that's fine. At this point I just want to neutralize his cav. If I can get rid of his cav then look I have all these archers in the back and they're going to be specifically picking apart some of his guys. So now that his rush has been basically ground to a halt now I can start to get nice advantages with my archers. Target rich environments here and I'm actually going to kill his enemy general which is great. In the center here kudos to my guys holding strong. I don't know how these dismounted feudal knights are still hanging in on this fight. They should be routing against all these numbers. So yeah only a military genius could win this fight. Nonetheless they're holding their strong and now again most importantly heavy gunner is going to roll up and the morale penalties that these guys can inflict are going to be larger than the actual damage that they do. And there you go it's going to start to break one by one his units. I have some more support from my hand gunners breaking the dismounted feudal knights. So piecemeal we're going to be breaking his guys in there. Get a successive route. I'm going to be trying to come to the rescue of my knights who are now down to how many men? 20 men and routing. Over here my cavalry was broken. He still has some Conquista Duras and look at this mound of men remaining. So now he's free to chase after my guys. But I have enough archers to take out his remaining guys in there. He has admitted defeat. My opponent admitted defeat at this point. Mostly because I was able to finally get the edge on this front and then he knew with my heavy gunners and archers I could shoot everything he had to pieces with the loss of his general. It was pretty decisively in my favor at that point. But nonetheless I was pretty scared by that initial rush. He really really caught up my archers early on. They didn't get that many kills. But a fun battle nonetheless. Heavy infantry versus heavy infantry. Usually you see big cavalry rushes in medieval too. And it's always nice to see the infantry brawls. The men remaining came out superior in that engagement. He had a lot of light troops who got chewed up in that fight. But he had very much a rush build. But he did knock off a lot of my men as well. Let's take a look at some of the battle statistics and see if anyone stands out for us. Casualties inflicted 253. So my Venetian heavy infantry. Some of them just owning my opponent. Knights Templar doing pretty well. And hand gunners you see not doing too much. 21 and 27 kills. But overall it was the morale penalties that they inflicted that were really doing work. My Venetian archers kind of a waste. 57, 45, 44. Doing okay for their price that I wish they would have done better. Dismounted feudal knights kind of doing their best against the conquistadores. My opponent just had some pretty good infantry and pretty good cavalry. So I was pretty lucky. I think the hand gunners there kind of saved the day for me. So always interesting to bring these primitive gunpowder units to a melee brawl like that. Very interesting. Anyways hope you guys enjoyed. I will see you in the next one. Peace out.
