    "The Republic is over." At that time, the Swiss Speaker looked at a large number of Norman soldiers outside the House, and 30% of them surrounded the entire House.  The strong bow and crossbow in his hand were aimed at each exit of the House, and he was about to kill them all.  At this moment, the Speaker, who was originally high-spirited and had dreamed of building the Swiss Republic into a European power, burst into tears.  Not only for myself, but also for this miserable country.

    At this moment, this old man, who is over seventy years old, has all kinds of hallucinations in front of his eyes.  It seems that after the city was broken, the soldiers and civilians of Bern were massacred; another turn, the vicissitudes of life, it was the tragic life of the Swiss who were deprived of freedom and power under the rule of the Norman Empire; and then another turn, it became  On that day, he personally judged the peaceful congressmen.

    "You will destroy Switzerland! The democracy and freedom we have finally obtained will be destroyed in your hands! You are the traitor!!!"

    That day, the congressman with a ferocious face cursed loudly, his words still ringing in his ears.  At that time, the speaker didn't care at all and just regarded him as a fool's lies before his death.  However, he did not expect that this so-called "lie" would turn out to be true so quickly.  It's so fast that it's hard to accept

    "Iso it turns out that I am the sinner who destroyed Switzerland?" The Swiss Speaker thought of this, couldn't help it anymore, and finally burst into tears.  And Switzerland, a country that had just gained independence, ended like this with his wails

    The city of Bern was destroyed, and not a single member of the Swiss Parliament, from the speaker to the ordinary members, ran away.  These "ignorant" people who "transgressed" and "sinned the most evil".  Whether dead or alive, they were all ordered to be executed by General Farr.  As was customary, their heads were placed on spear points.  Then hang it in the city center square for public display

    Well, actually this ¡°public¡± is quite problematic.  Because of Egil's order, those must be killed completely.  A person related to the Swiss mercenary who made the last stand and ate the human flesh of a Norman soldier.  Not even a dog in the bakery they frequented.  So after General Fall captured Berne.  Just busy with this matter.  After several days of chopping off his head in strict accordance with the standards set by the emperor.  General Fall discovered this.  In fact, there is absolutely no need for him to go to such trouble.

    Because, according to the standards given by the emperor, most people in the entire Bern - or even in the entire Switzerland - cannot escape.  After understanding this.  In the heart of General Farr//The fastest text update in Shumilou without advertisements//Thinking: Just massacre the city, it¡¯s really troublesome.

    If it is an ordinary person.  At this moment, I thought of massacring the city, so I just massacred it.  This was not the first time that the Norman army had done this.  Very nimble with his hands and feet.

    "But General Farr is no ordinary person.  These die-hard members who were debugged by the system have always obeyed the emperor's orders.  So even if it is such a "little thing" that matters life and death.  General Fall still wrote.  Send it to Egil to ask for instructions from the emperor.

    And the Norman Emperor also replied to the letter, unexpectedly scolding General Farr.  The letter went over and over again and said a lot, but the summary was this: "I will kill a good person, and I will never let a bad person go." That's what a person is upright and high-sounding.  Even a loyal subordinate like General Fall.  After seeing the emperor's hypocritical words like a cat crying like a mouse, I felt a little hairy all over.

    Egil¡¯s behavior.  To put it in nice words: use thunderbolt means to show the heart of a Bodhisattva.  To put it in a bad way, it means being a bitch while erecting archways

    However, in any case, General Fall still strictly implemented the emperor's order and erected archways in strict accordance with the emperor's standards throughout Switzerland.  It takes a long time to go back and forth.  After working for more than half a year, by the end of September of that year, I managed to barely follow Egil's standards and kill all the Swiss.

    At the same time, while General Farr was massacred in Switzerland, in northern Central Europe, General Walter's command also launched a fierce battle with the coalition forces of Hesse and Brandenburg.  These two countries were closest to Norman and were the first to surrender.  Naturally, the benefits obtained are the greatest.  Apart from anything else, the army is the strongest in Europe.  Lucivid, Duke of Hesse, and Frederick, Duke of Brandenburg, are also first-class generals who are experienced in battle.  The royal families of the two countries have been in contact for generations.  Watching and helping each other is even regarded as a model for allies.  Compared to Milan, a combination of enemies like Venice is much stronger.

    After learning about the news that the Norman Empire's army was moving south, the two dukes discussed it and then made a decision to use all their troops and take the initiative.  The army moved north and soon met the Norman army heading south on the flat grasslands of North Germany.  The vanguard cavalry of both sides briefly exchanged blows.  It ended with a complete victory against the Norman Hussars.  Then, the two sides had no plans to fight immediately.  Then they set up camp in one direction, one in the south and the other in the north.  Confrontation began.

    "This battle is not easy to fight."

      General Walter, who looked honest and loyal, frowned at first when he saw his opponent setting up camp and patrolling soldiers from a distance, which was almost exactly the same as his own Norman army.  Then he shook his head and said something like this: "Hesse and Brandenburg exist because of the empire and are strong because of the empire. Today is the time when they have to pay the price for this. For  Perish the empire, you fools."

    He still looks compassionate, fully living up to his twenty-point virtue score.  But the words he said made people feel chilling and frightened.  It seems that General Walter has also made up his mind to prove to the world the strength and greatness of the Norman Empire with an unparalleled victory.

    On February 20th.  Both sides submitted letters of war to each other.  It was agreed to fight tomorrow.  The early spring night still seemed a bit cold.  The soldiers on both sides will survive the night and then take up their positions.  Arrange your lineup.  Ready to fight.

    General Walter, standing on the watchtower that he had built overnight, looked over with a telescope.  Then he saw two armies of the other side.  They all held almost identical black eagles.  There is no military affiliation.  Instead, the formations are perfectly listed according to the types of troops.  Truly integrated.

    Those who formed the backbone of the army were the heavy infantry that the Hessian army was proud of.  Hessian Guards holding two-handed battle axes and wearing plate and chain composite armor.  As well as Hessian heavy spearmen equipped with heavy chain mail, kite-shaped shields and spears.  At the same time, there were Hessen giant shield crossbowmen holding heavy crossbows and carrying door shields.  The formation and quality of these soldiers.  It seems to have tried its best to imitate the Norman Army.  Although it is smaller than the real Norman infantry, it is still enough to be proud of.

    Relatively speaking, Brandenburg's infantry looks much worse.  Except for a few elite sword and shield soldiers and the super-long [Wucang] soldiers wearing chain armor, the others were shield and spearmen equipped with leather armor and light chain armor.  Although these people look like they have received professional training.  But regardless of quality, morale, or equipment.  Not as good as the Hessians.

    But Brandenburg is not without its faults.  Their main force is still those elite knights.  Brandenburg is proud of the Black Dragon Knights.  During Saladin's expedition to the Near East, he was an elite heavy knight with pure black equipment who was secretly ridiculed by Egil.  Although it experienced the Black Death, its national strength declined a lot.  But this knight group still maintains the standard of 1,000 people.  In addition to their knight attendants, Hessian heavy cavalry, and the noble cavalry recruited from the two principalities.  A heavy cavalry force with a total of more than 3,000 people and nearly 4,000 people.  It formed the most powerful sword of the coalition.

    In addition to these heavy cavalry, there was also a force under the banner of Brandenburg, which also attracted the attention of General Walter.

    "These light cavalry look somewhat similar no, I should say, they are poor imitations of the hussars trained." General Walter thought for a moment and then came to the conclusion, the corners of his mouth turned up to reveal  Come smile.  But I felt a little sorry for his honest face.

    Indeed, these cavalrymen wore fine leather armor and wore Norman-style sabers at their waists.  Ride a fast war horse.  This is the army formed by Frederick, Duke of Brandenburg, after the highly decorated Norman hussars.  He acquired the Norman No. 3 warhorse, which the Normans were gradually phasing out.  They also recruited mercenaries and instructors from nomadic tribes in Eastern Europe.  In this way, nearly a thousand elite light cavalry were trained.

    These cavalrymen wore richly decorated leather armor and leather hats decorated with skull emblems.  Hence the name Skeleton Hussars.  The Brandenburg military was once ambitious, hoping to form a hussars regiment of 5,000 men like the Normans.  But in the end it was hampered by financial resources and manpower.  Only one thousand-man team was prepared.  After all, they did not have such a vast source of cavalry and horse production in the entire Eastern Europe like the Normans.

    And this army of a thousand men is called the Skeleton Hussars, and these are the soldiers General Walter saw this time.  They seemed in good spirits.  Show off your power.  Compared with ordinary cavalry, their morale and discipline are much better.  But compared with the Norman hussars that General Walter saw, it was completely different.

    ¡°Then, let me show you the difference between genuine and counterfeit goods this time.¡± General Walter murmured to himself.  Then he waved his hand.  Suddenly the sound of a horn sounded nearby.  The 30,000 Norman troops under his command formed a neat square formation, with front and back, and began to advance slowly.

    "Coming!" Seeing the reaction of the Norman army, the Brandenburg and Hessian forces over there also became nervous.  The knight officers were shouting. After being busy for a while, the coalition army, which was also close to 30,000 people, slowly and slightly unevenly advanced
