    ~Date:~October 22nd~

    The Norman Empire is invincible and will remain victorious.  When General Erth arrived in front of the city called Prague, he thought in his heart: Now, it will be my time to establish meritorious services for the empire and repay the kindness of the Lord!  (Egil is one of the few people who can still hold back from vomiting after seeing General Erth¡â This is attributed to the influence of those brutal noble ladies and ladies in various banquet eras)

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of nowhere, this general who is known as the empire's best at attacking fortresses.  Then he started his plan.  A plan that was enough to annihilate Prague's 40,000 defenders.

    "There are no rivers here, and it is not the rainy season. Therefore, water attack method is basically impossible. If you use the direct attack method, the casualties may be a bit high. Tunnels, earth mountains, internal response and other methods are too slow and may not be effective.  Well, let¡¯s use that one. A terrifying weapon that scares the enemy.¡±

    When the Norman army arrived at the gates of Prague and set up camp.  At the top of Prague, Generals Karl and Wallenstein were relatively speechless.  What I was thinking was almost the same thing: finally, it¡¯s here.

    "The opponent did not attack the city immediately. It doesn't look like that monster's style." After watching for a while, General Karl turned his head and said to General Wallenstein.

    "Indeed. Originally, I thought that according to the character of the monster, it would rush over with a roar at the first time. It would hit its head in Prague and bleed it." General Wallenstein said the same thing.

    It seems that the two generals are in a good mood.  He must be very confident about the outcome of the war.  Thinking that relying on Prague's high city and deep pool, they can defeat the Norman army, this annoying army along the way.

    So, on the first day, the second day, and the next two weeks, the Man Empire except for a small group of infantry on the second day, conducted a round of feint attacks.  No further action was taken against Prague, which left the Prague defenders baffled.  The ordinary soldiers below were just happy and relaxed.  However, the two coalition generals at the top had to be suspicious.

    The generals discussed the situation for a long time in the mayor's residence, but could not come up with a solution.  Although there are many speculations, they cannot be confirmed.  It has no other effect than increasing depression.  Talked for a long time.  General Karl slapped the table and said this nonsense: "That monster must be planning some conspiracy!"

    General Wallenstein was speechless and secretly cursed: "Nonsense" but then he heard General Karl say: "It's easy to know the opponent's trajectory. As long as we take the initiative to attack, we will know!"

    "Are you taking the initiative to attack" I heard General Karl say this.  General Wallenstein hesitated for a moment and nodded: "If the deadlock can be broken, it is not impossiblebutif it fails"

    "How do you know whether it will succeed if you don't give it a try? Besides, our army has 40,000 people. Even if we lose a little, it's not a big deal!" General Karl continued.  And General Wallenstein nodded again.

    "Then that's it. Tonight, I will lead the Hungarian cavalry troops to attack. You will do your best to support me. If you win, you will lead the army to attack. If you fail, please support me. Let the enemy not have any  You can take advantage of this opportunity.¡±

    "I understand, please be careful." Wallenstein nodded in agreement.

    So, the next general discussed the specific details of the night attack in detail.  Then they split up.  General Karl went to the hired Hungarian cavalry and promised benefits to boost morale.  You want these guys to sacrifice their lives for you.  General Wallenstein inspected the city defense again and prepared troops for response.  The city's defense must also be increased to prevent the opponent from taking advantage of the chaos to attack

    So busy until evening, the Hungarian cavalry had a hearty meal and some rest.  By the time the sun had completely set, it was a month of darkness and high winds, a night suitable for murder and arson. A total of 800 elite cavalry covered the horses' hooves with a layer of hay to prevent the horses' hooves from making too loud a sound and attracting the enemy's attention.  Then he opened the city gate and left cautiously without saying a word.

    The eight hundred cavalrymen slowly arrived next to the Norman camp without making a sound.  General Carr saw a few torches burning at the entrance of the camp from a distance. On the watchtower, the Norman infantry who were supposed to be on tight guard were sound asleep.

    "God bless." Seeing this situation, General Karl became excited - this time, he will probably win!  When I thought about it, I felt as if my body suddenly gained strength.  Without hesitation, he drew the sword from his waist and roared: "Charge! Attack! Kill those Normans!!!"

    After this roar, the Hungarian cavalry, who had long been unable to bear it, also shouted and cheered wildly.??.  He immediately increased his horse's speed to the fastest speed and rushed towards the Norman camp!

    "Did it succeed?!" At the top of Prague, General Wallenstein couldn't help but think so when he saw a sudden noise in the Norman camp-

    However, just when the Hungarian cavalry rushed to the front of the Norman camp-suddenly, the Hungarian cavalry in the front row felt that their horses suddenly stepped on the air, and then the whole ground collapsed!  Under the surface of the floating soil, there is a trench lined with sharp wooden stakes that are as ferocious as the teeth of evil beasts!  Under the influence of gravity, nearly a hundred Hungarian cavalry in the front row suddenly fell down, and both men and horses were pierced by these wooden stakes. The screams suddenly drowned out the shouts during the previous charge!

    Immediately afterwards, at the front, the Norman Empire's tent was suddenly overturned. Norman soldiers with heavy crossbows, repeating crossbows, muskets, and longbows poured out of the tent.  The wooden fence at the front of the camp was also pulled down.  Let there be no cover between the Norman soldiers and the Hungarian cavalry!

    "Trap!" At this moment, no matter how stupid a person is, he will know what is going on.  General Karl's heart skipped a beat.  Then he saw the person he called a "monster" under the dim torch light.

    "Originally I wanted to catch a big fish. But I didn't expect that only some small shrimps took the bait However, the big and small ones are just pieces of meat" General Ers snorted and waved his hand: "Launch!"

    The general gave an order, and thousands of crossbows and muskets fired at the Hungarians one after another!  Although in the dim firelight, people's vision is not very good.  But at such a close distance, it was such a big target for the cavalry.  So it's not difficult to hit it.  Under a hail of arrows and bullets, the Hungarians killed nearly one-third of their troops!

    ¡°Attack!!!¡±

    "If we had replaced another unit at this time, it would have collapsed a long time ago.  However, these Hungarians are extremely tough.  You can still continue fighting under such circumstances.  And also has a strong offensive nature.  Some of the cavalrymen saw that the ditch was only one meter wide and their horses could pass through it with a single leap.  Although the crossbows from the opposite side are fierce, as long as they can get close, they are their home field!

    With this thought, the Hungarian people roared again and launched a charge towards the Norman camp!

    ¡°As expected of the Hungarian cavalry, they are brave and brave.¡± General Ers praised.  Then, with a feeling of appreciating art, I watched the scene of these brave Hungarians being wiped out by their own arrows, but unable to move forward - such a close distance was enough for General Erth to form his long-range troops.  A formation of five to six columns taking turns to fire to ensure uninterrupted firepower output.

    In the front row are the musketeers with the closest range, the row behind them is the company of crossbowmen, and behind them are four rows of heavily armed crossbowmen.  The longbowmen used skirmishers to supplement the firepower with projectiles around and behind this echelon.  Under such an arrangement, none of the hundreds of Hungarian cavalry who dared to attack, these light cavalry without any armor on their bodies, almost shirtless, could rush in front of the Normans, and they were all shot.

    "Retreat!" Under such circumstances, a sneak attack is meaningless.  Even though General Karl was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.  With a sound of retreat, they turned around and fled with the remaining Hungarian cavalry.  But he didn't expect that the Normans still had their rear wing Norman hussars rushing out.  When they raised their cavalry crossbows and fired another round of crossbow arrows at the remaining Hungarian soldiers, the light-armored horse archers behind them also killed many Hungarian cavalry.

    ¡°Retreat quickly!!¡±

    Seeing the enemy catching up, General Karl was terrified, and then shouted.  The Hungarian cavalry behind them had been overtaken and killed by the mad dog-like Norman hussars.  However, the little time they bought by holding back the Norman hussars was completely insufficient. Seeing that the city of Prague was already in sight.  But before escaping back to Prague, their less than 200 remaining soldiers would probably be killed by the enemy!

    At this moment, the city gate of Prague suddenly opened.  A group of heavily armored knights roared out and fought out, letting the fleeing Hungarian cavalry pass, and then collided with the Norman hussars. The heavily armored knights armed with maces, warhammers and other heavy weapons had amazing combat capabilities, while the Norman cavalry had an amazing fighting ability.  Because the Mann hussars were in pursuit, they were not equipped with heavy weapons.  Therefore, the opponent suddenly gained the upper hand.

    "Retreat." Seeing that his side could not gain any advantage, the cavalry commander decisively chose to retreat.  After blowing a whistle, the hussars quickly abandoned their enemies, turned their horses, and ran away without looking back.  Although the heavily armored knights have amazing combat capabilities, their speed is not as fast as the hussars.  So nothing can be done.

    "Thank you so much." Back in Prague, General Karl looked at General Wallenstein in military uniform at the city gate, blushed slightly, and then lowered his head.?Thank you
