On February 21, 1004, Yin, Breeze, Noyan's 100,000 troops and less than 30,000 German troops fought a battle of fifty kilometers from Frankfurt.

Seeing the old man opposite him using the coffin as the earth and the three armies as the burial of a coffin, Egil was both angry and funny, and finally hummed twice and finally gave an order: "First array, heavy cavalry, charge.

The Norman heavy cavalry, Norman Royal Knights, and a small number of Frank knights and a small number of feudal knights in the first formation, totaling more than 1,700 cavalry. Those employed knights and feudal knights were not counted. The Royal Knights and Norman heavy cavalry were all elite troops who climbed out of the sea of ​​blood with Egil's battles for thousands of miles and climbed out from the sea of ​​blood. Anyone who did not follow dozens of evil spirits was embarrassed to go out to say hello to others.

They changed into a brand new garment as a gift, put on a slightly ragged one, there were traces of sewing everywhere, and there were a large number of garments that could not be washed off, blood-stained, and scratched armor and shields. The equipment of these soldiers, carrying military achievements and arrogant murderous equipment, added a large amount of bloody smell to their momentum. Some timid people were afraid.

Even after approaching them, people will be frightened.

This army is not used for inspection, not for praise, and there is no need to deliberately show their so-called mightyness. They are for killing people, for killing, for destroying and destroying a terrifying killing machine they were born for the battlefield! They are fearless and irresistible, and they are the royal knights under Egil's command and heavy cavalry!

Originally, Egil had 2,800 heavy cavalry. Although these armored cavalry were used as treasures and were used very carefully, they still suffered serious losses in previous battles. The 800-man Royal Knights now have less than 500 people. There are only nearly 1,000 heavy cavalry with two thousand people. However, these bloody, terrifying cavalry, like hell ghosts, brought the entire body into iron armor, and the deterrence power brought by the crazy cavalry that was even stronger than the heyday of the Norman heavy cavalry.

On the medieval battlefield, heavy cavalry equipped with war horses and armor under their crotch were always the most powerful, elite and destructive army. Especially in this battle, because of the weakness of the enemy, low morale, and disadvantages in quantity, Egil decided to use a different heavy cavalry tactic than before. After Egil gave the order, he rushed towards the opponent's array in three horizontal arrays of only eight meters. Their distance was so close that it seemed like a whole. At first glance, there were a large group of heavy cavalry rushing overwhelmingly. Such dense, bo-stream cavalry charges were obviously different from those used by the Normans, which were more refined, more technical, and better impact.

But this can better reflect the horror of heavy cavalry. Like a vast ocean, like a mountain torrent, and like a prairie fire, the cavalry raised several meters of smoke and dust in the charge at full speed, making the entire cavalry sequence look much more numerous than the actual number.

The knights, cavalrymen, and Norman warriors wearing armor like monsters yelled: "For the great Egierskadragrimson!!!"

There is no God, no saint, and even the word Norman, there is no such name in the hearts of this group of soldiers. This group of Norman knights, the most powerful warriors of Norman, only such a name. Egierskadragrimsun! Their master, their king, their most powerful commander!

These soldiers no longer need to believe in one, or the belief of these people is Egil! If Egil had the order, then they would even dare to show their weapons to God!

"Oh my God, Norman Cavalry! It's Norman Cavalry!!" Seeing the Norman Cavalry in armor and like a monster, everyone in Europe knows it. Although these Germans have always only heard of it, they have imagined it in their hearts. However, after seeing such a terrifying charge, these German serfs suddenly understood the horror of a Norman Cavalry coming over, which seemed much larger than they imagined.

Under the charge of the cavalry with a strong deterrence power created by Egil, the Germans in the front row who had not had any contact with the cavalry, had low morale and had no will to fight, collapsed in an instant.

They cried and yelled, rushing around like headless flies. Fear spread like an infectious disease among the Germanic army. The entire Germanic army was about to collapse.

"Tsk, is this the army of the Holy Roman Empire? Not worth mentioning." Egil couldn't help but snorted lightly as he saw the other party's poor reaction, thinking: It seems that he is still a little conservative. If the infantry ordered the charge directly behind the cavalry, then he would probably have won by this time, but it's not too late now, isn't it?

Egil snorted lightly, then raised his hand, waved forward slightly, and said, "The second and third array infantry, press up on the entire line, and the left-wing light cavalry will circle around, attack the enemy's flanks and chase the deserters. The right-wing light cavalry will move to the left wing."

The right wing is the forest terrain...

Egil has been very accustomed to fighting on flat terrain recently. Mountain terrain also has some experience. However, forest terrain is not good at.

The war that took place in the forest covered by branches and leaves was not fully grasped by the Norman Emperor standing at a high place. Before that, Egil often avoided this terrain during war. If possible, Egil would choose other terrain to avoid the troublesome terrain of forests.

But today there are a little exception. Because Egil was not sure about the other party's thoughts, he was afraid that the Holy Roman Empire's army would quickly retreat to Frankfurt after contacting his own army to defend the city. At that time, the enemy in Munich would get news to go north and let the two armies merge.

So we must take the initiative without hesitation! Just a little bit of forest terrain, a small scene, I can't scare me!

"Send five thousand-man professional Viking soldiers into the forest, then advance and attack from the right wing." Egil hesitated for a moment, and then ordered. Although drawing such a number of professional troops would reduce the strength of the front infantry line, Egil still chose to do this. Because the front line seemed to be fine. This forest terrain made him feel a little uneasy. If the opponent chose to advance in this jungle terrain and launch an offensive, it would not cause some unnecessary trouble to the Norman army...

At this moment, the front battlefield, the Holy Roman Empire army, which was not equipped with super spear square arrays, dense arrays, or other equipment to prevent heavy cavalry charges, was immediately defeated by the Norman heavy cavalry. Immediately afterwards, the Norman heavy cavalry used many drilling tactics that had not been used before. After breaking through the front line array of the Holy Roman Empire without any suspense and hindering, it rushed towards the second array.

"Resist, resist, you idiots! Kill them! Take up your weapons and get close to those around you! Form a dense array!!"

A small number of generals and nobles who were still loyal to Emperor Frederick shouted like this, trying to organize soldiers who were already panicked like a group of poultry. But the results were very little,

A large number of soldiers began to flee, and the entire Holy Roman Empire army's position looked shaking and shaking. It seemed like a huge candy cube that fell into the water, and was quickly dissolved.

The deserters were like those tiny sugar particles, leaving the huge candy block in a series and flowing rapidly in all directions...

"I am the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The person chosen by God. I should not die so embarrassed." At this moment, Frederick, the old emperor who was in his eighties, drew out his sword.

"Emperor's Will Guard. Go forward! Let the arrogant Normans see that there are warriors among us Germans!" Emperor Yan shouted like this, and took the lead, rushed towards the battlefield. Behind him, a total of four hundred fully armed knights wearing chain-combined armor, black eagle flag-covered clothes roared wildly, and with no less morale than the Normans' morale and fighting will, Lou, who followed them, rushed towards the battlefield...

In the jungle on the right wing, the few and extremely combative imperial soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire army advanced. These were equipped with heavy chain armor, spire iron helmets, kite-shaped shields and heavy-duty maces. The total number of troops was 2,000, and were the product of the latest military reform of the Holy Roman Empire.

1. In the previous war, influenced by the Normans and the Eastern Romans, Frederick felt that his empire needed a more sophisticated and more professional army. Professional, heavy knight troops completely controlled by the emperor, as well as more well-equipped and well-trained heavy infantry, more elite archers, projectile troops and other related equipment, etc.......................... But unfortunately, this time, the reform was only less than three months, and the final result was only such two thousand heavy infantry. The development of the situation made many military reforms of the old emperor empty.
