Chapter 70 You were invincible before because your opponents were scumbags

However, there is a little problem here. Frederick's retreat is unstable, and the newly occupied territory rebellions are one after another. So why can he defeat the Eastern Roman army again and again?

The reason is that the Eastern Roman army did not dispatch the main force, Emperor Sil deliberately let them in, so that the other party's supply line would be longer and longer, and the other party's morale would be consumed little by little. Finally, he won the battle.

That's it. On June 4th, Emperor Frederick defeated more than a dozen Hungarian cavalry and several small Greek troops as usual. Then he chased one with pride, as if he was protecting some big man. The extremely well-equipped cavalry ran out of the valley terrain. However, the cavalry had no idea why, but he knew the terrain here very well, and disappeared after seven or eight turns. After searching for two rounds, he decided to go back first.

However, Basil did not want to let him go. Suddenly, a large number of Eastern Roman troops holding compound bows and Greek crossbows appeared above the valley. Immediately afterwards, Basil II issued an order and fired thousands of arrows at the same time. The Holy Roman troops tracked over were suffering heavy losses. Kiteretts made a bloody path under the desperate protection of his own knights and escaped.

At the same time, the main force of the Holy Roman Empire was also raided. Because Emperor Frederick was not present, the four princes and the Bavarian army had no unified command and could only fight on their own. They were eventually divided and surrounded by the Eastern Roman army. During this period, a small number of knights broke out, but were chased by the faster Sisian archers and Vadarita archers. The archers were arrows falling like rain, destroying the opponent's formation, and then they pulled their swords and rushed in and slashed and slashed.

At the same time, Western feudal knights were unable to go through several rounds in front of the iron armored paladins in Eastern Rome. The protection of the three-layer armored paladins that was against the sky was difficult to kill even if they used heavy weapons. The weapon used by feudal knights was a long sword, so unless they were extremely skilled in swordsmanship and could aim at the opponent's key points immediately to launch a sting, such a knight could damage the iron armored paladin. However, the number of such knights could never be too large. On the contrary, the heavy iron mace used by the iron armored paladins could cause great damage to the opponent's knights.

Although due to weight issues, the attack speed of the armored paladins is not very fast and easy to dodge or block, after a dodge, it means that the initiative in the battle is handed over to the other party. If you block with a shield, it means that your left hand will not be able to perform some pleasant movements in the future.

In this way, a total of 5,000 iron-armored paladins in Eastern Rome were dispatched. Five regiments rushed towards the four electoral princes and emperors of Bavaria, Bosimia, Brandenburg, Hesse, Austria. In addition, the remaining eight regular legions, nearly 4,000 Eastern Roman lances, one German, one Latin, these two mercenary corpses, and the guard cavalry legion that Basil II had only dispatched in recent times. Sir II had more than 15,000 heavy cavalry and more than 10,000 light cavalry! Such a terrifying number and the same terrifying equipment made the Holy Roman princes understand the attitude that the genuine Romans should have.

At the critical moment, the princes of Qihua also fought for their lives. Seeing that they were surrounded by enemies, they were divided and surrounded by friendly forces. If they didn't fight for their own lives, they would probably have no life. So everyone also took out the army at the bottom of the box.

Under the command of Brandenburg's Elector Albrecht, the remaining Teutonic Knights were the backbone of the backbone created by the Royal Knights under Egil, all the knights under the Black Dragon Knights were wearing pure black cloaks, black cloaks and black war horses. From a distance, they looked like a black mass.

At the same time, heavy weapons such as maces and tomahawks, as well as heavy cavalry rifles are also used in terms of equipment.

Extremely combative.

However, the Hesse Legion adhered to the configuration of a first-class Saxony legion, holding a spear and a zither shield, wearing a dome helmet, a heavy Doxen spearman wearing heavy chain armor, and a two-handed battle axe.

The Saxon Guard Axe soldiers wearing heavy chain armor found a high ground, and then formed a shield wall layer by layer to protect the giant shield crossbow soldiers from Northern Italy in the middle, forming an iron hedgehog-like circular formation. The Eastern Roman army charged several times, and retreated under the layers of shield walls and the giant shield crossbow soldiers with terrifying shooting.

The bosmith mountain infantry were wearing heavy chain armor, holding battle axes, scimitars, and round shields. They walked between the mountains as if walking on flat ground. Several charges broke through several holes in the Eastern Rome encirclement. The bosmith army moved to the mountains and then began to hold on like the Hesse troops.

Austria imitated the Swiss super-length spearmen and formed the super-length spear array. The soldiers were all wearing light chain armor and long swords on their waists. At the same time, they held two-handed swords in large quantities, heavy chain armor, and even two-handed swordsmen with plate chains and Xiahe armor interspersed in them. The mountain-like gun array approached layer by layer, suppressing the Eastern Roman army bit by bit...

In Bavaria, when Emperor Frederick was not present, Prince Henry gritted his teeth and took out the Bavarian ace troops. All of them were equipped with chain composite armor, as well as super-heavy cavalry with horse chain armor and cloaks, and the Imperial Will Guard. A total of 500 super-heavy cavalry were equipped with maces and heavy cavalry, and were wearing cloaks embroidered with the black eagle flag of the Holy Roman Empire. Their combat power was definitely not inferior to that of the opponent's iron armored paladins.

In this way, the five major vassal states of the Holy Roman Empire produced eight treasures, and without unified command, they barely fought a draw with the Eastern Roman army. They barely maintained an unbeaten situation. When it was dark, the Bavarian army was unable to count because the emperor did not return for a long time and the prince was young. This caused a panic, and the Eastern Roman army took advantage of the situation to attack and almost wiped out the entire Bavarian army.

The defeat of the Bavarian army reached the Bobnimia army on the side. The Eastern Roman army took advantage of the situation and launched an attack on the Bobnimia army. During the chaos, Charles IV, the Duke of Bobnimia, was shot in the cheek, and fell down without any hesitation. The body was taken by the guards for a night.

At the same time, the troops of Hessen and Brandenburg joined forces in the daytime melee. Albrothed and Lucivid were also changing their minds and quick-minded. He could hear the opponent's attack on the other two of his own friendly forces. He took advantage of the situation to break through and was finally spared.

Also lucky is the Duke of Austria Albrecht II, who also took advantage of the situation to break through and was spared.

And it was the day after the day. The three princes of the Holy Roman Empire gathered together. Everyone discussed and checked the army again. Their own army was attacked. Liao fought for a day and night, and finally got a lot of them when they broke through. Now, after planning, there were only less than 50,000 people left. The three dukes looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

At this time, a loud cry came not far away. The army was defeated and the morale of the army was unstable. Several dukes were shocked and ran over to take a look. However, the bosheimians were shot in the cheek and were shot by an arrow. The duke, whose body was stiff, cried in the empire.

Although there were many conflicts among the Holy Roman princes, there were many marriages between them. In addition, the situation was like this. The three dukes had many sad feelings for the death of rabbits and foxes. Among them, Albrecht II, Austria, was the most sad. Because he was calculating, the old duke of Bo Simea was his cousin and his father-in-law, and he was his guardian before he became an underage. Among the Holy Roman princes, he had the best relationship with the old duke of Bo Simea. The alliance was the most solid. At this time, the relatives who died suddenly, their eyes and pupils were dispersed. When he thought about the defeat of this battle, Albrecht II's nose felt sour and he almost cried.

However, at this time, Lucivid, Duke of Hesse, whispered: "I don't know what happened to His Majesty, the Prince, and there is no news." But he directly destroyed Albrecht's sorrow.

The emperor and the prince are all missing. Then the Holy Roman Empire will fall into the time when the princes recommend the emperor again. Lucivid and Albrecht of Brandenburg, both of whom were dukes who were only conferred after Mittelie came to power, and their territory was not as big as his own. In addition, his father-in-law died............ I may have the opportunity to compete for the territory of Bo Simea. His cousins ​​were mediocre and inaction, and most of them were not his opponents. So, wouldn't that mean that he had the opportunity to become the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire?!

The Austrian Duke became more and more excited the more he thought about it. The little sadness just now was immediately wiped out. He just wanted to return to the country quickly and then ascend the throne to the emperor.

However, before Albrecht II's dream was finished, he heard a bolt from the blue shouting: "I'm fine! Henry is fine! Reorganize the troops! I'm going to fight to the death with some damn Greeks!!" Everyone looked over again, but they saw the two emperors and princes of the Holy Roman Empire, who were covered in dust, and came over little by little with a group of defeated generals from the Holy Roman Empire.

"Damn it. Why is he alive!? No~
