Medieval Total War-esque RP

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

The Saracens.

[Masked Pillow]

Fjell's ships, realising it was an impossible task, turned back.
The other 500 along with the 200 cavalry rushed at the soldiers. The cavalry going first and the soldiers behind, smashing into them with shields as well as swords. The archers climbed the nearest buildings and city wall and hailed down arrows upon Korba's soldiers.

Spoiler:

Where are Aidan's soldiers?

[Gandalf]

Spoiler:

Saracen NPCs?

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

Yes. They are Gandalf.

The Bulgarian warships began to fire at the 200 galleons. Their cannons ripped through the wood but soon they were defeated. 25 of them "limped back to the Byzantiums.

Spoiler:

I have troops outside the city.

The horses did well against Korba. The soldeirs began attacking his troops when they were still on the ground. Soon, they all lay dead. Azeem's archers were still a threat. They killed 500 of Fjell's infantry.

[Masked Pillow]

Fjell's archers hid behind walls and shields and fired at the archers.

Spoiler:

Well, hurry up and get them in the city. I need help!

[Gandalf]

Spoiler:

Well, in that case, you have to work out how this battle works out.

Simon's 100 archers begin firing at the enemy ships.

[POMC S117]

Azeem had the advantage of height. His arrows were more effective. 200 of them died compared ot 500 of Fjell's. Aidan sent 500 infantry and 600 cavalry into the city. The cavalry hunted down Azeem's remaining men and the infantry scaled the walls.

---

Spoiler:

It's five hundred archers, Gandalf. That's my rule. It's either none or all. You cna split 20 galleons into groups of ten but you can't split them into groups of 5.

The archers did little more than kill the sailors. The Saracen's outnumbered Simon's boat. The Byzantiums slipped behind the Saracens. Siimon lost two ships by the time the Byzantiums were in position.

[Gandalf]

Spoiler:

Damn it. 500 archers, then. And it's 10 warships.

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

I was using it as an example. And post a reaction.

[Masked Pillow]

Fjell's men, taking hope in Aidan rushed at the enemy.

[Gandalf]

Simon's forces fall back and circle around to join the Byzantine ships.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Azeem brought the catapults out of storage and set them up behind the walls. The war machines began to fire out into the troops surrounding the city.

[POMC S117]

Fjell's men took down all of Azeem's horses but he was left with only 500 infantry, 1000 archers, 200 horsemen and 10 catapults. Azeem and Korba only had 250 soldiers, the same in archers and 10 catapults.

The catapults killed 200 of Aidan's 500 infantry outside before they were destroyed.

---

"All ships, move to destroy!"

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

I closed the gates, would that help me in any way?

the archers mounted on the battlements of the city, they looked around searching for any signs of armies advancing.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Azeem ordered his men to collect all the hay, oil, and wood within the inner city, and 50 foot soldiers set it out in the streets past the second wall.

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

They have to break down the gates to get inside the city.

Our plan has worked!

Gideon, when we conquer your lands, you can go to a friendly territory and rule from there. And please don't leave. It's not the end of the world! I am planning to finish this game when it reaches the year 2500!

Aidan's infantry had killed nearly all of the archers on the wall. His horsemen charged at the 50 soldiers, trying to kill them before they set the city alight.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

The remaining archers on the wall lit flaming arrows, and attempted to fire into the fuel already laid down.

[POMC S117]

The horses backed off as the inferno spread. The foot soldiers were already dead. Aidan's infantry finished off the archers. Soon, the city was engulfed in flames. King Fjell and Aidan's forces were now outside the city, waiting for it to burn.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

What foot soldiers remained in the inner city had formed a bucket brigade from the wells, prepared to put out the fire if it began to move.

[Gandalf]

Spoiler:

POMC, the rest of the naval battle is up to you now.

[POMC S117]

The Saracen galleons were surrounded and pummelled. However, they outnmbered the Byzantiums. The Bulgarians made another pass, it was suicidal. The 25 warships were swarmed by Saracens but they managed to destroy 50 of their boats.

A letter was sent to Simon.

"Lord Simon,

As an ally of King Aidan, would you help my forces in Cyprus by docking your 500 archers on the island?

King Leo the Wise."

---

The catapults hit some of the well, filling them with debris.

[Gandalf]

Spoiler:

Umm... ok? I have no idea what's going on...

Simon complied, and his 500 archers landed on the island. The 8 remaining warships went around to another part of the island, to tend to their wounded.

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

The Crusades. The filthy Saracens have invaded Cyprus and you need to help retake it!

The archers met up with the Byzantium commander leading the troops retaking the island. He ran over to Simon's commander. "See that cliff up there? Take your archers up there. We're setting up an ambush."

[Gandalf]

Simon's archers rushed up to the top of the cliff, and formed ranks, the first kneeling for the others to get a better, clearer aim.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

The flames were beginning to die down. Azeem opened his personal stables to what few soldiers remained, and they arrayed around the gate. As it was opened, Azeem, his wife, his son, Korba and his family, and the thirty or so other men who had been given horses charged out.

Spoiler:

Now's the part when we yell "DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATH!"
