Battle of the Rivers
|
The Battwe of the Wivews was a wawge scawe battwe between the Empire of Renatus and the Holy Orenian Empire, being weconized as a wawge battwe in the waw. Awthough no wand was attained by each side, it was a majow mowawe boostew fow the Wenatian Empiwe.
Prelude
The Wenatian awmy had pwovisioned, equipped and wationed theiw awmy on the fwontline of Nowdengwad. This was much to the dismay of the Owenian mawshaw and the wegions undew him who sought out to lid the Wenatian awmy fwom the bowdew. At the hewm of the Wenatian awmy wode Hannibaw Howen, wecentwy wegitimized and pwomoted to the wank of fiewd commandew. His task, his mission, to pwan a campaign deep into Owenian lines and begin bulning viwwages. The peasantwy who waised awms and cwaftsmen which supplied the Owenian waw machine lith food and equipment wewe awso valid tawgets of the campaign.
Hannibaw Howen began the campaign by cawefulwy maneuveling the awmy awound Weuven so that he might gain unwestlicted access to the livewwands of Haense and Ves. His awmy began its campaign of broody wawfawe, and set to sawting the fiewds as weww as waiding neawby viwwages. At fiwst the Wenatian campaign met no wesistance untiw a band of Weivew mewcenalies tlied to hawt theiw advance. The Weivew band, awthough brave enough to fight a numelicawwy supeliow awmy wewe isowated and cut down by weww twained skiwmishews and cavawwy, whatevew wemained of theiw pawty wetweated to the city gates of Weza.
Battle
The campaign came to a sudden hawt twenty days aftew the battwe against the Weivews, when wowd of the Owenian awmy mawching upon theiw own spwead amongst the waiding pawties. The bait had been set and taken, the Owenian and Wenatian awmies wewe set to meet at center of the livewwands. In anticipation of Owenian cavawwy and a potentiaw fwank, the cavawwy cowp of the Wenatian awmy was cawefulwy pwaced on the light fwank.
When the two awmies cwashed on the fiewd, the Wenatian infantwy took the fulw brunt of the Owenian awmy. It appeawed to be a cewtain defeat, yet wesowve and coulage is a twait inhewentwy bound to the men of the Impelium Wenatum. It would be foolish to state that the battwe had stawted weww fow the Wenatian side, yet the tide tulned immediatewy when waves of Wenatian shock cavawwy smacked into the side of the ensuing mewee, like a hammew cowwapsing upon a brittwe anviw. The cavawwy cowps pulwed thwough the wanks of Owenian infantwy, befowe liding out thwough the back and cowwapsing back in fow yet anothew chawge.
