Although he is very confident in his own defensive formation. But in fact, the final result will not change just because of the other party's little "confidence". The Norman hussars raised their light lances and increased the speed of the No. 5 horse to the maximum. With a swift and surprisingly powerful charge, he taught the Germans, the coalition forces, a lesson. Tell them what the elite cavalry of the new era is.
After such a long period of development and several generations of reforms. These hussars have developed from pure light cavalry to something between light cavalry and heavy cavalry. An elite unit with skills such as charging, mounted shooting, reconnaissance, harassment, etc. No matter what kind of opponent they are facing, these hussars are capable of almost any task. Gain maximum advantage. And when the enemy is stronger than them, they can also use their unparalleled speed to quickly leave the battlefield and avoid unnecessary losses. .
The Norman Emperor regarded these hussars as very important. in the emperor's plans. From now on, the mainstream of his army will consist of large quantities of artillery, more square infantry, and more hussars. The strong ones in the traditional sense, heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, will gradually be eliminated. And retreated from the main position. Gradually appeared as an auxiliary unit.
Of course, such reforms are still brewing in the emperor's mind. Because it is too shocking to the world, I cannot say it at all. And even if you say it, it will definitely be regarded as nonsense. So it¡¯s better not to say anything.
But these are not the main points. The Norman Empire would continue to grow. Whether it is military or political. Military or the emperor's harem. Nothing is set in stone. But now, the most important thing is the outcome of this battle.
The charge of the Norman hussars was extremely powerful. If the coalition forces this moment. If the formation has been arranged, it is unlikely that they will be able to fight. But the hussars were too fast. The coalition simply could not be fully prepared.
So. The final result can be imagined. A thousand hussars in all. Use band charge for five consecutive rounds. It took a little effort. But it can still be considered easy, defeating several enemy defense arrays deployed in the rear. Those loose hedgehog formations exploded like rotten oranges after being violently attacked by the Norman hussars. Human blood, corpses as orange juice and orange pulp. As well as damaged equipment, it also flowed all over the place
"It's really terrifying, it's simply too terrifying!" I didn't expect that the impact of these hussars could reach that level. Even exceeding the level of ordinary heavy cavalry. By the time the two dukes of the coalition wanted to change their tactics, it was already too late. The rear formation, which was completely overwhelmed, wailed and collapsed. The survivors threw off their armor. Flee in disgrace. At the same time, it greatly shocked the main force of the coalition forces on the front. The defeated soldiers attacked their formation, and such tragic scenes also greatly damaged morale.
The elite heavy infantry on the Hessian side are slightly better, but their morale is slightly low. At least we can continue fighting. But the same cannot be said for the spearmen on the Brandenburg side. Their quality and morale are not as good as those of the Hessians. It was a shock at this moment. Nature collapses faster. What's more important is that after watching the Norman hussars regroup, they launched a second round of charge.
When the hussars of the Norman Empire killed their opponents, the skeleton hussars of the coalition forces, at an extremely terrifying speed. The outcome of this battle has already been decided. The hussars roared and charged towards the allied forces, whose morale was greatly reduced and almost defeated. On the front, the Norman Empire's super long spear phalanx, under the command of General Walter, also turned from defense to offense. The soldiers roared, raised their spears, and attacked the coalition forces with a slow but extremely determined pace.
Being attacked from the front by a squeeze. Behind them were elite hussars, wielding sabers and charging fiercely. The situation of the coalition forces suddenly fell to the bottom. Under continuous attacks by the Norman army. The Hessian-Brandenburg Allied Forces, which originally had 28,000 troops, now have less than 20,000 troops left. Such high casualties in itself put the coalition on the verge of collapse. And now, such a dangerous situation has made the coalition even worse!
"I'm afraid this is the last moment, my friend. Do you still want to fight?!" At that time, seeing such an almost hopeless battle situation, Frederick asked Lucivid.
"Of course!" Lucivid said his answer loudly without any hesitation. After this, the two dukes clasped each other's hands for the last time and released them. He rushed towards the battlefield without looking back. The Duke of Hesse advanced towards the frontal infantry battlefield. The Duke of Brandenburg launched a counterattack against the powerful hussars from behind.
"Close together! Shrink the array! We have not failed yet, we still have the strength to fight!! Germanic warriors, let these promisesLet people see how awesome you are! ! ! Lucivid, the Duke of Hesse, roared angrily, drew his sword and rushed to the front line, waving the latest model of half-hand sword with both hands. He cut off the head of the spear that was thrust towards him, and then strode forward, He raised his sword and cut off the head of a Norman phalanx infantryman.
The Duke roared like this while fighting. With him as the center, the last group of Hessian Guards also rushed over. The Norman phalanx suffered a moderate blow and successfully hindered the advancement of the Normans.
The Duke blocked the Normans on the front, while Frederick of Brandenburg took a few, and finally more than a hundred, cavalry who could still fight - black dragon knights, knight attendants, recruiting noble knights and hiring Heavy cavalry no matter which army they belong to. The Duke, with such a rabble, bravely fought with the Norman hussars who came from behind - nearly ten times as many hussars.
Duke Lucivid shouted loudly, cheering for his soldiers. Duke Frederick, on the other hand, seemed to be going crazy, roaring like a wild beast. Even the end of the madness lies above the Norman Hussars. Although he was quickly cut down by several hussars. But Duke Frederick still gritted his teeth and persisted, killing two hussars and barely holding the line.
"It's really not easy." General Walter shook his head and said this after seeing such a scene. Of course, there is still the second half of the sentence left unsaid: "Death struggle"
Although the two dukes worked very hard, it could even be said that they fought with their lives. But these two dukes, who have been honing their martial arts since childhood, are only relatively powerful knights at best. It has no effect at all on large-scale operations. The monarch taking the lead in the attack did have some motivating effect. But that's it.
They have neither incredible personal strength nor excellent commanding abilities. Speaking of which, he is just a "talent" level guy. It is really powerless to fight against monsters with full attributes adjusted by the system.
Soon, the frontal battlefield was overwhelmed, and the heavy cavalry on both wings were killed and scattered. Later, the skeleton hussars were also defeated by the Norman hussars. The desperate battles of Dukes Lucivid and Frederick only slightly delayed their eventual defeat.
The time is two-thirty in the afternoon. After half a day of war, the Hesse and Brandenburg coalition forces of 28,000 were now only about 15,000 left. The morale of most soldiers dropped to the bottom. As long as there is even the slightest touch, it will collapse.
"It's over." At that time, neither General Walter nor the two dukes of the coalition forces. All had this idea. When the Norman army on the front was gradually replaced by assault infantry with amazing impact, when the Norman knights on both wings began to attack the coalition flanks. When the Norman hussars in the rear line reorganized, they attacked the Allied rear line. Under attack from all sides. The coalition forces were completely defeated. The soldiers fled in all directions and refused to obey orders. And the knights abandoned their glory and cried like women.
Lucivider, Frederick. These two powerful electors of the Holy Roman Empire and German Dukes. They also died in the rebellion. During the cleaning after the war, the body was barely identified. There were stab wounds, sword wounds, and gunshot wounds numerous wounds of various kinds. Almost out of shape
Because the distance between North Germany and Krakow in Eastern Europe is very close. So soon, news of the victory reached the emperor. After hearing the news that the two dukes refused to surrender and died in the rebellion, Egil looked a little sad. This is not all a show like a cat crying over a mouse.
After all, he has known these two dukes for a long time. And they became their vassals, and even became their vassals for a time after they obtained the title of Holy Roman Emperor. He did give me a lot of support. Egil felt that he, Frederick and Lucivid were friends after all. In the end, he indirectly caused their deaths. This is really a bit
"it's not a big deal."
After three seconds, the sadness is over and the sex continues. The emperor's time is very precious, and it is not worth shedding tears over two dead people. If you have that time in the United States, you might as well study with the eldest princess, heir to the royal family, heir to the empire, and crown prince of Normandy. Things like that.
That¡¯s pretty much it. Along with Hesse, Brandenburg, Milan, Venice, Switzerland, Swabia. These countries were pacified successively. This so-called "anti-Norman alliance" or "anti-Norman alliance" has basically come to an end The empire's unification of Europe is just around the corner (To be continued)
