At this point in the war, there was actually no suspense. Although the retreating Eastern Roman army still barely supported the front without collapsing with elite heavy infantry. However, the defeat was just a matter of time. The Roman army infantry holding a spear and shield could only draw out a short sword to fight with the Norman army after the front was damaged. However, things like daggers could not be the opponent of the battle axe. The large shield of the Eastern Roman army was indeed very effective when maintaining the formation and defending arrows. However, it seemed too hindered in the melee, which made the Roman army soldiers complain.

In fact, the generals of Eastern Roman had noticed this before this. The traditional Roman heavy infantry had gradually failed to keep up with the pace of war in the new era. They should be eliminated and improved. Some generals of Eastern Roman also put forward specific suggestions for improvement.

But unfortunately, when the Roman Senate voted, it was strongly opposed by the conservative senators. Perhaps in their opinion, the so-called traditional glory of Rome is more important than the one million Roman soldiers. In fact, they did the same.

Therefore, except for the few most elite guards, who were replaced with more sophisticated and modern equipment under the strong urging of Basil II, the rest of the Roman legions were still the same. Except for replacing bronze with steel, the rest of the rest remained unchanged.

Such soldiers from the Middle Ages seemed a little vulnerable when they fought against the modern, with more sophisticated armor, sharper weapons, tighter organization, and more reasonable tactics.

Of course, these guys performed a little better than those rammed peasant soldiers and the most mainstream spear sergeants in Western Europe.

In Egil's view, if there were no accidents, these 30,000 Greeks should be able to resist for five or six hours. Later, because the center was torn apart, surrounded by division, and then collapsed.

Of course, everything is under the best assumption. Maybe the other party will take golden carats in an instant, and one can beat two hits, and then it may not necessarily be reversed by the Normans.

If you think about it this way, your previous arrangement is not something that is not wrong.

On the left wing, bushes and trees, Egil's newly organized battlefield assassin troops carefully avoided several groups of stragglers from Eastern Rome and advanced slowly.

These elite assassins wearing dead leaves and grass, holding short swords and daggers, and equipped with poison-tempering flying knives were hunched and tiptoed, and did not make any sound when they moved forward. Looking from a distance, they could not notice anything was wrong.

In addition to thirty fully armed elite killers, each team of battlefield assassins also include five Sherwood sharpshooters holding purple-shirted wooden longbows and arrows, and five death row soldiers holding two-handed flame-shaped swords. This configuration ensures the strength of battlefield assassins in long-range and melee combat, making the assassin diversified methods of assassin.

This is one of the latest troops under Egil, an elite dead soldiers who can assassinate enemy generals in the 10,000 horse army.

Of course, it's just a chess move. If Egil was the kind of person who relied wholeheartedly on the assassin's methods and had no other ability, Norman would not know how many times the country had been destroyed. Of course, Egil thought this way does not mean that he would not cheer for those assassins, saying that the rise and fall of the Catholic world is all on your shoulders, and you must be powerful.

This moved the assassins, and also made a ruthless decision to kill Shengren.

With such a sense of mission and Egil promised that if things succeed, there will be eighty gold coins for settlement regardless of life or death. Under such heavy profits, there are a total of three battlefield assassins, and 120 assassins slowly covered up with the battlefield terrain, approaching the enemy commander bit by bit.

But the distance is still a little further.

"I've almost seen it. At this position, the longbow can't shoot him in the center of the enemy's army. I need to get closer."

Seeing that he and his group were about to emerge from the forest, the best-looking sharpshooter narrowed his eyes and said this.

"...A little further forward." The captain of the battlefield assassin was silent for two seconds, and then ordered: "It's okay. Now our army has the upper hand and the enemy's army formation is already in chaos. Wait a moment, and when the opponent's formation becomes more chaotic, we will rush over and open a way, and then the sharpshooter will snipe and kill that guy!" In this way, the battlefield assassins are still lurking...

At this moment, the Venetian army could no longer hold on to the right wing of the battlefield.

Although at the beginning, because of the massacre and tomb robbery, the Venetians showed a little bit of a victory in the war, and they fought against the 25,000 Burgundy army with an army of 10,000, and did not lose the disadvantage. However, over time, the tenacious special forces of the Swiss mercenaries showed up, making the Venetians feel helpless.

The Burgundians initially recruited 30 million troops, including 20,000, all of which were Swiss mercenaries hired at high prices.

Five thousand Burgundian troops were left in Marseille. In this way, the number of Swiss mercenaries was greater.

Although these Swiss mercenaries directly obeyed Charlie's orders, the actual command of the war were the few oldest mercenary leaders, as well as more than a dozen or twenty mercenary leaders. How to execute depends on these guys.

In fact, these Swiss mercenaries are also the ones who play the lead role in the right-wing battlefield.

The mercenaries wore simple armor and mixed spearmen and formed a square formation to advance. The soldiers shook the spears in their hands up and down in order to drop the bows and crossbows and arrows that were shooting towards them. At the same time, they advanced slowly and calmly, putting great pressure on the enemy, while maintaining their own formation.

This made the Venetians feel incredible. The Swiss seemed to have no idea what fear was, completely ignored the comrades who fell to the ground by the arrow next to them, and just adjusted the formation slightly in the process of the prospect. Then they continued to move forward like nothing happened.

That attitude of not taking life and death seriously is really scary.

Venice is a country that attaches great importance to long-range weapons, because it is very afraid of death and is very rich at the same time. Therefore, it is better to kill the opponent without contact and kill the opponent without contact. Therefore, Venice's long-range strike power is quite good. In addition to the giant shield crossbow soldiers with the same signature brand in Northern Italy, there are also Venetian archers holding powerful composite bows in the Oriental style. There are more than 2,000 giant shield crossbow soldiers and more than 1,500 Venetian archers in the entire Venetian army. These crossbow soldiers are all wearing chain armor, long swords, and iron helmets. This outfit will definitely make many soldiers in other Western European countries envious and jealous.

Of course, if this is the case alone, others will at most scold a few times and will not care too much.

The reputation of Venice's local tyrants cannot be so wide. These 4,000 fully armed projectile infantry are not the focus. The focus is that Venice Chonglou Infantry, who is proud of himself and claims to be one of the strongest and most powerful infantry in the continent.

A total of 4,000 Venetian heavy infantry were wearing high-priced composite armors produced in Northern Italy. Not to mention, there was also a layer of leather armor inlaid with steel helmets and a large shield in hand. It can be said that they were armed to the teeth. Venice is not as convenient as Eggill. Some dwarf blacksmiths in the empire and system support. The price of composite armors on the chains is unimaginable. Each set of composite armors produced in Venice is around 1,000 Florins. The gold content of Florin gold coins is about 98%. The weight is about three or four grams heavier than the general gold coins used by Eggill. Therefore, the actual price of this set of armor should be 1,200 gold coins. These four thousand sets of composite armors are 4,800,000 gold coins. Plus other equipment.

These 4,000 heavy infantry soldiers were able to support the total taxes of the Norman Kingdom in one year, and there was still surplus.

Well, if this can't scare you, then let's take a look at the remaining 2,500 cavalry units of the Venetian army.

The Venetians traveled around the world and had their activities spread throughout the Mediterranean. Therefore, they also had a lot of dealing with pagans. They were particularly concerned about the archery tactics of pagan nomads. In order to fight against it, Venice specially trained crossbow cavalry troops. These crossbow cavalry were equipped with the best fast horses, the most exquisite light chain armor, iron helmets, and light crossbows. The crossbow cavalry troops with a total of 1,000 people were unique in Western Europe. They were not only good in combat power, but their creativity was quite good.

Afterwards, the Italian heavy cavalry were also equipped with the composite armor of the chain and the war horse chain armor.

If Egil didn't care about other troops, the Italian heavy cavalry with overheaval, even the knowledgeable Norman Emperor would vomit blood. He worked hard to form the Knights. Until now, only eight hundred royal knights are equipped with such equipment. The other two thousand Norman heavy cavalry are equipped with traditional heavy chain armor. It is one level worse than the Royal Knights.

So, look at how much the Venetians have been able to get. These 10,000 troops were completely made of gold and silver. They are not equipped with equipment, they are all money, they are all money, they are bastards!

It is not difficult to understand the inner hatred of these Swiss people who came out of the mountains after seeing the Venetians.
