★In September, "thirty miles east of the suburbs of Krakow", at the corner of the Vistula River, two vanguard rangers of the coalition forces encountered each other. Then a fierce battle broke out.

"For Egierska Gragrimson!" The Norman cavalry "trained strict practice and had been on the battlefield for a long time. The next moment he found the enemy, he quickly responded. A 100-man light archers and another 100-man melee cavalry were shot into four rows of twenty-five people. The melee cavalry was in front and light archers were behind. He rushed over strictly in accordance with the current regulations of the military reform regulations.

On that side, there were about 300 Cossack cavalrymen, as well as nomadic cavalry from Poland and the Thunderland area. These people were also not vague. They immediately shouted and rushed towards the Norman Light Cavalry in a scattered formation.

Immediately afterwards, the result of cutting the tofu with a knife. After two rounds of cavalry shooting, the Norman Cavalry rushed into the coalition cavalry formation, and directly tore the scattered formation in the Shifang with dense arrays. Then he turned around and charged again. He repeated several times, and then he defeated the coalition cavalry to scatter and killed countless people. The nomadic cavalry who arrived at the bottom immediately retreated when they saw that the situation was not good. However, the Norman Cavalry did not chase after him. After a little tidying up, he returned to his own camp and reported the situation. At this time, Princess Liliannu in the coalition camp also sighed a little.

"Norman Cavalry, it's really strong..."

His Royal Highness the Princess had also heard before that the light cavalry tactics and heavy cavalry tactics studied by the Normans were very powerful. But His Royal Highness did not know what a powerful method was. This time he tried it a little: when the troops were 2 to 1, the Norman light cavalry was against Cossacks, and the traditional nomadic cavalry similar to it, the combat loss ratio was about 8 to 1. In other words, only if eight nomadic people died can one be replaced with a fat cavalry.

"If the cavalry of Shifang is so powerful, then there will be a bit of suspense in this battle." His Royal Highness Princess felt a desire to retreat at this time. She secretly regretted that she should not have agreed to the order of her devil father so quickly. However, the arrow had to be fired on the string. It has reached this point. Is it necessary to retreat just because of the failure of a battle between scouts? If that is the case, let alone the emperor throne of the Eastern Roman Empire. She would become the laughing stock of the entire world. This is something that the arrogant princess would never endure. Therefore, she could only comfort herself now: According to the information star, the main body of Shifang's army is the Celtics, not the Normans. There are not many such Norman cavalry. This is a joke to masturbate.

The fact is that the combat effectiveness of the Celtics is indeed not as good as that of the Normans. After marrying the Norman Empire, the military and political systems of the Celtics and the Northwest Kingdom of Britain were inevitably affected. Artoria also learned a lot of conspiracies and military ideas in the process of getting along with Egil. The financial situation of the Northwest Kingdom of Britain was quite good, so it could reserve a large number of professional troops with strong combat effectiveness.

However, although imitating the Norman Empire in many places, the British Kingdom's own army also has its own characteristics. Compared with the Norman Empire's "try to heavier installation", "try to equip more advanced armor and heavier weapons" and even "more is beauty, and big is good". Hard-sponsored people like heavy infantry, heavy cavalry like strong bows, hard crossbows and high firepower output, and like solid square formations. Compared with the Norman army, which is slightly rigid, the Celtics may be slightly worse in equipment. However, they are more flexible in tactics...

However, after several one-sided battles of the light cavalry scouts, both sides found out the details of the opponent Artoria won several consecutive games, and the south side looked down on the opponent. Liliannu lost several times in a row, not only losing thousands of light cavalry, but also

And it is even more a blow to morale.

Therefore, in the final decisive battle, Liliannu decided to adopt a garrisoning attitude and settled in a hilly area not far from the Vistula River.

His Highness the Princess is a famous general after all, and the opposite side of the formation is still very eye-catching. Although most of the subordinates are informal armed forces, they can look quite like that under His Highness the Princess. Let him imitate Egil, take a gap to look at the tower, and look at the monocular telescope with a look. Artoria couldn't help but nod and praise Egil for redeeming it as a birthday gift.

"It's interesting."

Artoria snorted and commented.

His Royal Highness, who was in the second meeting, divided her main force, the Eastern Rome professional heavy infantry corps into three independent heavy infantry brigades, arranged in the gap between the highlands and the highlands. The light projection infantry, including the garrisons, regular corps, as well as the recruitment of peasants, stone casters, javelins and archers. These troops were arranged on the hills, and used natural wood as a cover.

The left wing of the Eastern Roman army is on the banks of the Vistula River, which is a large area of ​​mudflats formed by the flooding of rivers. Such terrain also effectively prevents the cavalry from charging. His Royal Highness the Princess arranged troops on this terrain. A large number of informal infantry from Eastern European countries, and those recruited peasant soldiers with simple equipment were deployed in this position. It seems that His Royal Highness the Princess did not have too much expectations.

"As long as you can stick to it."

This is the greatest expectation of His Royal Highness of the Princess for these people.

On the right wing, on the plain terrain next to the hilly areas, this is the highlight of His Royal Highness His Royal Highness. A total of 2,300 heavy cavalry were deployed here. Among them, 500 were the Eastern Roman Lancers brought by the main legion, and the remaining 1,800, of which more than 1,300 were knights provided by Poland, Tokran, Zaporoze and other regions, as well as heavy cavalrymen equipped with oriental-style heavy scale armor, iron masks, spears, scimitars and maces, all were elite soldiers of various tribes. Although the discipline was a little worse, the combat effectiveness was not mentioned.

The remaining more than 400 heavy cavalrymen were the private soldiers of His Highness the Princess.

That's right. Private soldiers.

There are more than 400 people in total, and they are completely consistent with the Iron Armor Paladin in terms of equipment. They are wrapped in three layers, one layer of heavy scale armor, one layer of chain armor, and one layer of leather armor. They hold maces, shields, and scale armor for war horses. They can be called elite warriors at the level of battlefield destroyers.

This group of more than 400 cavalry was formed by His Royal Highness, who personally practiced and provided salary. Their treatment was even better than the regular iron-armored paladins. The level of training was still better. However, the number of times he participated in actual combat was not that many Princesses were very arrogant, but they were well versed in strange ways. Naturally, they understood that this number of cavalry was too eye-catching. In addition, his position was embarrassing and so suspicious. Therefore, they were not used to fight in Asia Minor. In Eastern Europe, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and His Royal Highness did not have so many concerns...

Next to this group of daunting heavy cavalry, there are more scattered, less combat power, but more light cavalry. These light cavalry are as chaotic as ever, have poor equipment as ever, and are as undisciplined as ever.

But in many cases, these informal troops can come in handy. At least they are enough to fool the earth-shaking buns who have never seen many worlds when riding horses, and their riding and shooting skills are also annoying enough.

The soldiers are not in charge. Although these guys wearing felt hats, sheepskin coats, scimitars and short bows are suitable for cavalry tactics, they are not actually opposed to walking combat. Among them, there are a group of specialized spear soldiers equipped with three-meter-long spears, wearing different styles of scale armor, and an oval shield hanging on their arms. In addition, there are many Cossack archers equipped with powerful composite bows that are more lethal than cavalry. In addition, they are hung with heavy scale armor

There are also some oriental-style heavy cavalry holding spears.

Pugachev divided his army into three parts. As the spearman of the professional team, there were also archers who penetrated the array and placed them in the front, forming two horizontal rows, with the largest number of light cavalry placed on both wings. The heavy cavalry placed on the back. It seemed that they wanted to hide the snow and wait until the finale was final before using it. After all, the Zaporoze Khanate was very poor. It seemed that when the precious troops such as heavy cavalry were used, they had to be more careful than other countries.

This is the arrangement of the entire coalition. It seems that His Royal Highness is fighting with a defensive counterattack. With the mountainous terrain, strong bows and crossbows and infantry formations, his own sharpness was set. Then he used heavy cavalry to cover up his killing.

The game was pretty good.

But Artoria was not fooled.
