    "Okay!" Seeing that his own artillery blasted open the opponent's drawbridge gate without any suspense, General Erth shook his fist and shouted loudly.  (Jinghu Literature Network updates quickly) But in Prague, the coalition soldiers felt extremely desperate.  No one can maintain morale under such horrific bombardment, and some coalition soldiers are no exception.  Many of them were frightened by such a violent attack.  There are many people who wet their pants when they fail to live up to expectations.  Under such circumstances, the Norman Empire naturally became uneasy if it wanted to attack again.

    "Quick! Build the bridge quickly. The army attacks! Assault infantry in front, infantry in the back, don't stop the long-range crossbow assistance shooting! Take out all the equipment, the city will be destroyed today!" General Erth waved his hand.  Holding his fists, he roared like this.  And the fourth round of bombing by the thirty-five artillery pieces also provided the best footnote for his words.  At least one-third of the scattered shells fired by the mortars fell into the city of Prague.  Blast the coalition forces above and below the city wall to pieces like rotten meat

    After General Erth gave the order, the Norman army took action very quickly. The soldiers pushed and pulled the bridge erecting truck desperately.  And quickly built a twenty-meter-wide bridge on each of the east and north city walls, which was more like a road bridge than a bridge.  Immediately afterwards, thousands of Norman infantry roared, pushing their ladder trucks, and rushed over to the platform trucks that were in place at the moment. The crossbowmen of the Norman Empire also began to fire arrows into the city desperately.  Bows, arrows and crossbows of various sizes and styles were poured into the city of Prague as if they were free of charge.  You can literally use them to take a bath.

    "This ¡â this" At that time.  During the third round of bombing, the miserable General Carr was cut off half of his head by a piece of shrapnel from a falling bomb. The command of the coalition forces fell on General Wallenstein - but he was a  Bavarians.  The Austrian and Bohemian soldiers did not want to listen to him at all. In fact, after learning that General Karl had been killed in battle, the Austrian and Bohemian soldiers completely collapsed.

    "Breakthrough - no, no! Almost all the coalition forces are concentrated in Prague now. If they fail, it will be all over! No! We must find a way to stabilize these soldiers - yes, they just lost  It¡¯s just morale. As long as morale is still there, the situation can still be solved! That¡¯s right!!!¡±

    Almost instantly.  (Jinghu Literature Network updates quickly) General Wallenstein¡¯s head was like a windmill, spinning more than a dozen times.  Then the decision was made!  You must continue to persevere, yes!  We must stop the Norman attack here, otherwise it will be all over!

    "Calm down, calm down!! Don't run away! Keep fighting!!" General Wallenstein roared as if he was crazy, mercilessly killing the fleeing Austrian and Bohemian troops.  Consumers can use fear and coercion to get them back on their feet.  At the same time, he loudly ordered his two deputies to split up and guard the city:

    "Adal, you lead people to guard the city gate! Don't let the Normans rush in! Kahn. You lead people to assist the north wall! Just follow the way I cracked the opponent's ladder truck before, and the Normans  Fight! Quick, let¡¯s split up! I¡¯m going to prepare the army, and I have to calm down all these Austrians and Bohemians!!!¡±

    In this way, with the efforts of Wallenstein and a group of knights and guards under his command, the chaotic situation on the front and at the east wall was slightly suppressed - of course, this was suppressed.  That was only before the Normans arrived.  And with the attacks of the Norman Empire's bows and artillery, there was a tendency to disintegrate.

    So, when the Norman assault infantry quickly crossed the river, what awaited them was not enemy troops fleeing in all directions.  Or the scene of kneeling in surrender.  At the gate of Prague, which had been blasted away and had no effect, a group of people trained by Wallenstein himself.  Gorgeously dressed super spearmen were closely guarding some of them. Although they didn't have much armor, their clothes were made of fine fabrics, even silk, and they used various dyes and even gold threads without any expense.  Silver cord and more.  In addition, there are many decorative pendants and medals, making their clothing not much cheaper than a suit of armor.

    These people are the products of Bavarian military reform.  Munich's super-pike infantry.  An elite force cultivated with high military pay, rigorous training and a sense of honor.  Their defense is poor though.  But they are very aggressive and have high morale.  The use of super long guns as weapons is also in line with the military situation of this era.

    "If such an army appeared elsewhere, it would probably cause a craze and achieve many great feats.  But it's a pity that what these guys are facing are Norman soldiers, the most powerful, advanced, and bloodthirsty army in the world.

    ¡°Damn it!Step aside!  You damn scum!  We are soldiers of the great Emperor Egil!  "

    Seeing at this time, there are still people who dare to resist the great Norman Empire¡îThe assault infantry in the front row roared, swung their sharp long-handled battle axes, and directly cut off the gun barrels thrust towards him in the front row.  And he cursed loudly like this.  The comrades beside him were not to be outdone. They cursed and mercilessly slashed with their tomahawks without hesitation.  I vow to chop these losers dressed like clowns into pieces!

    Under such circumstances, the "new army" that Wallenstein had high hopes for was quickly destroyed by the Norman assault infantry.  However, these Munich super-pikemen live up to their title of "Lions".  Even when the formation was destroyed, he still did not flinch.  Draw out the long sword, scimitar, and battle axe.  Close combat with the Norman assault infantry.

    In this way, the front city gate was saved because of the desperate defense of these Bavarians.  On the other hand, the progress of the assault by the Norman troops who walked through the front city gate was not as good as those who used ladder trucks to climb over the city wall

    ?Using General Erth's improved ladder truck covered with hay as a tool.  With the support of crossbows from the rear (the artillery bombardment has stopped. Because they are afraid of missing and hurting their own people).  After all, the Bavarians only accounted for a quarter of the coalition forces, and they participated in the war as reinforcements. It was still Bohemia and Austria that could influence the situation of the war.  It's a pity that apart from General Karl, these two principalities have no one who can take action

    In this way, there are about 10,000 Bavarians - some of them are also in chaos, so let's give a discount - about 7,000 Bavarians are naturally not enough to defend a big city like Prague.  Forget about a small area like the city gate.  If it is a too spacious place like the city wall, there is really nothing you can do.

    Soon, the Normans established a foothold on the city wall where the enemy was fleeing and there was only a small amount of resistance.  And steadily advanced towards other parts of the city wall, especially the several arrow towers that were still intact.  Many soldiers entered the city of Prague directly along the stairs, slashed and killed the fleeing coalition soldiers along the streets, and advanced into the city, setting fire to cause greater chaos

    "Damn! You bastards, trash! Resist quickly, resist!!!" Seeing this situation, the city of Prague was filled with smoke and tragedy.  General Wallenstein was speechless.  He yelled at the soldiers who were running around.  However, he kicked a soldier over and was about to go up and strike him with another blow.  But suddenly he discovered that the man raised his head and glared at him angrily.

    With a "thump", Wallenstein's heart skipped a beat and his movements slowed down. He watched the soldier take out the dagger from his arms and stabbed him, but he didn't move away.  The guard looked bad, stepped forward, drew his sword, and blocked it for him.  Otherwise, it would be too sad for a generation of famous generals to be defeated like this

    "Are you okay? General?" The guard first cut off the deserter's hand with a sword, and then pierced his neck with a sword.  Then he asked.

    "The military morale has been lost, it's over" Wallenstein sighed secretly in his heart.  Then he made up his mind: In this case - there is no need for us Bavarians to work for your Habsburg court!  Walk!  Quit!

    With this thought in his mind, Wallenstein immediately started making arrangements.  Order the guardsmen to act as messengers.  Go around the city to gather the Bavarian troops, and take the first step to meet at the southern city gate.

    Just like that, the last group of soldiers in Prague who were willing to fight were gone.  There was chaos in the city for several hours, and Wallenstein escaped from the south with six to seven thousand Bavarian troops.  They only suffered a bunch of motherless children in Bohemia and Austria.  Those who were killed were killed, and those who surrendered surrendered.  The 30,000 troops that Duchess Teresa had worked so hard to save.  It suddenly disappeared into ashes

    The flames and chaos lasted for a whole night and a half.  Wait until daytime the next day after the city is broken.  Prague barely stabilized.  In the mayor's residence, General Erth pulled General Karl's head, with half of his head still staring at him. After pulling for a while, he threw it under the table and kicked it far away like a ball.  Then he turned around and asked the knights in his guard: "So, one died and the other escaped?"

    "Yes, general. General Karl of Bohemia and Austria is dead. Wallenstein of Bavaria saw that the situation was not good and ran away." His guard knight replied.

    "Well, it's okay. It doesn't matter. Today, when we arrive in Munich tomorrow, can he still run? Go! Report the victory to the master! Just say that we have captured Prague, and the recovery of all Bohemia is just around the corner!" (  To be continued
