This time, Egil finally had a clear understanding of the so-called "prosperity of the northern Italian city-state". He really felt that northern Italy was a bunker. He just sent out 4,000 light cavalry to scan in Venice for five or six days, and his income was so much as 300,000 gold coins.

It was almost over to pay the Norman Kingdom tax revenue for a month. If you count it, the soldiers only paid half of the harvest. In other words, the total income from this robbery was at least 600,000!

Of course, Egil completely ignored the fact that for these three thousand gold coins, it was four thousand light cavalry mo gold, moving mountains and unloading mountains and hills: scraping gold on the statue, breaking the cross and casting silver, and completing such a career that is comparable to Hercules's ten achievements.

The Finns have not converted to Christianity yet, so they naturally will not have any concerns. Many of the professional Hussars who came from the prairie also retained their belief in the legendary omnipotent immortality. They also did not have much recognition of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. Therefore, they really took action. Several Venetian clergy were not open to their eyes and wanted to stop them, but they were tied behind the horse, galloping wildly, and dragging them to death.

Speaking of which, maybe it was Egil. If it were the kings of other countries, they would not dare to do so too much. However, Egil, a devout guy who was devout and dying, would naturally not care about the statue of the God Horse, the cross of the God Horse, etc. He just said a few words to his subordinates: "Please pay attention next time, and don't talk to others everywhere. It's good to make a fortune in silence."

So, just hide it from Joan of Arc.

Of course, Egil felt that even if Joan of Arc knew it, it would be no big deal. At most, just fool it. It was said that this was accumulating funds for world peace. Extraordinary times and extraordinary means...

In this way, you will probably get Joan of Arc's forgiveness.

perhaps.

Speaking of which, Egil was still a little concerned. When he ordered the Venetians who lived in villages and towns outside the city to cut them down and then became Jingguan, the Venetians were just afraid. However, when he ordered the Venetians to dig up the ancestral tombs, the Venetians went wild. Is the dead more important than the living? It's a strange question.

Of course, Egil didn't want the tomb to be stolen after he died. So learning from Qin Shihuang was a brainless approach. The best behavior should be to learn from Genghis Khan. He buried himself with a large number of gold, silver and jewelry. After that, he did not show any mountains or water, and trampled the ground flat. Then he killed all the slaves who built the tombs, and then killed a little Luo Luo who was born in front of his mother Luo Luo. Luo Luo was good. When future generations wanted to worship me, they led Luo Luo to look for me, and then there was a little problem here... Camel! Luo Luo was wandering around the deserts of the Middle East and North Africa. Where is Luo Luo Luo in Scandinavia?

…Or else use reindeer instead? Scandinavia has more things, but wait a little longer. I don’t know if the reindeer has a good memory. But since it is called reindeer, it is homophonic to find a way. The memory should be good, right?

Egil was normal and was distracted during the war again.

The time is March 30th. Of course, in places like Italy, time basically has no effect. The Alps block the cold air from the north and leave this area with the so-called "Mediterranean climate". The lowest temperature is fifteen degrees throughout the year, and the four seasons are like spring, and there is no need for any cold-proof equipment.

Today is a beautiful and sunny day. It is neither cold nor hot, there is no wind and there is less clouds. However, the atmosphere is very heavy.

The Venetians, Greeks, a total of 50,000 coalition forces, Normans and Burgundians, a total of 65,000 coalition forces met on the outskirts of Bologna, and the two sides took a stand. You said "Bullshit!" and I said "Heremn!" and "Heaven!" and I fully exchanged opinions. Egil was distracted in this process of no nutrition.

So, no one on both sides came out to curse the enemy and convinced each other.

Finally, we returned to the camp and waited for the bosses of both sides to cheer up the people. Then the war could start.

Sixty-five thousand people, even if they were sardines, were a big group. Therefore, Egil followed Alexander's appearance and trotted in front of the army. While waving his command knife in his hand, he shouted: "Look! My soldiers, the best soldiers from Norman, from Burgundy! Take a closer look at who was against you?! Standing opposite us were those sly Venetian vendors, and those Li Daitao Zombie, the arrogant Greeks! Those heresy! And heresy! And heresy! Defeating them can not only realize your piety towards Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary, but also make your pockets bulge!!!"

Egil said this and the coalition soldiers were smiling. Looking at the 50,000 Orthodox coalition forces in front of him, they used a god like a fat sheep. The morale also increased a lot.

"Soldiers! Let's pray for the last time before the war! Pray for the favor of the Lord of Hosts! Of course, because we are Catholic and the most orthodox believers, this is obvious!!" Egil said that the soldiers were full of confidence. Yes, they were true believers, and the opposite was heretic and false believers. In comparison, Jehovah would definitely guarantee me!

"Finally, let's shout loudly! Overtake the enemy with the best momentum! And look forward to singing hymns with the same voice to welcome the moment of victory!! Warriors!! The war begins!

Kill! Kill! Kill!! The front army advances!!! The heavy cavalry protrudes!!” After Egil gave such an order, he went from two formations to the path in the middle.

Running, surrounded by the guards, he arrived at the beef tower made of earth and wood before the war. He nodded with Charlie, who arrived almost at the same time, and then pulled out the monocular.

"This battle depends on Your Highness." Egil said to Charlie solemnly.

"How dare you? Your Majesty is the commander-in-chief in this battle. But if you have an order, you will make up your mind to refuse." Charlie also said very politely.

Of course, they are just polite. If Egil really treats the Burgundian army as cannon fodder, they will definitely turn against each other.

Jill nodded: "Then you will be lucky. Your Highness has strong military infantry under His Highness. Swiss mountain people are good at mountain combat. The right wing of the battlefield is scattered, which is suitable for Your Highness to show off. Please attack from the right wing."

"I understand." Charlie nodded, without saying much, and ran down the Beef Tower quickly, got on the horse's back and ran towards the right wing of the battlefield.

At this moment, the front battlefield, with a relatively flat plain terrain, the Norman Front Army had already emerged. The Royal Knights in the composite armor of the plate chain and the Norman Heavy Cavalry in the heavy chain armor, the Norman Heavy Cavalry formed the first BO, a distance of 150 meters, a total of three BOs, and nearly 1,200 heavy cavalry assault sequences. They rushed towards the opponent's central array and saw the Norman Iron Cavalry rushed over like the wind. The Central, the Eastern Roman Legion, which was the first to be the blast, quickly mobilized the front row of Greek crossbowmen to pull away the medium-sized crossbows they were equipped with. The configuration of these professional legion soldiers was similar to the Normans, but they did not learn the three-row crossbow formation invented by Egir, so there was only the front row of crossbowmen. The lethality was much weaker than that of Egir's crossbowmen.

In the second row, this is the Roman heavy infantry that Rome is proud of. In addition to the different Balkan climate and protection needs, the lower body sandals and short ku were replaced with skirts, kus, guards and boots, the other equipment was just like the ancient Roman soldiers who came out of ancient murals. They held spears, large Roman tower shields, and were short swords that were conducive to slashing and stabbing. They wore Roman iron helmets, and officers above centurion were equipped with feathers and cloaks, and held high battle flags that marked the Roman characters.

For example, the flag number of this legion is twenty-five, which means that this is the 25th regular legion of Eastern Rome.

A total of 7,500 infantrymen were arranged into three formations and twenty-five neat dense phalanxes, leaning their shields and spears together to resist the enemy cavalry.

The two wings in the square formation are a concrete manifestation of the improvement of the Eastern Roman army. Roman lances.

A total of 500 people holding spears, kites, shields, wearing chain armor or light scale armor, and long swords on their waists. These cavalry learned Western tactics of impacting cavalry. Although the combat skills of a single person may not be as strong as those of Western knights, they are much better than Western knights in terms of discipline. Their war horses are not equipped with any armor, and are basically lightweight heavy cavalry.

In the gap between the infantry phalanx, there were guerrilla infantry in the legion, totaling 1,500. These light infantry equipped with javelins, bows and arrows, or stone-catted ropes provided the Roman legion with the ability to shoot and ranged attack support.

This is the organization of a reorganized Roman legion with a total of 10,000 troops. Basically, all the troops were taken into account. But there were no more rare super-heavy cavalry and archers.

In addition, the long-range projection troops also appear a little weaker.

But he is still a strong enemy.
