Chapter 11 Gathering Monthly Pass)
The Empire has never been sacred 11, and the Empire has never been sacred the fifth sacred saint alliance. Chapter 11 gathering (please give me monthly votes for the first update)
As time entered October, Egil calculated that he had not been on the battlefield for nearly two months - this was actually a very long period of time (high-quality texts were first released, all in %). It was not much worse than that of students on summer vacation. Egil was a little upset and found that his senses, intuition and reactions began to become a little slow. Although his skills were much better.
——Because of the practice match with Artoria. Egil believes that if his strength is equal to Artoria, then in the practice match, he might be able to defeat this Norman First Warrior. Even if he encounters it on the real battlefield, he still has the power of a battle. Of course, the configuration of the musket and the straight blade knife makes Egil unable to match the impact and lethality of Artoria. It is inevitable to struggle when facing multiple enemies. It is even more impossible to ride a thousand...
But it doesn't matter. If Egil had the possibility of going to the battlefield in person three years ago, then until now, with such huge military strength and such powerful combat power in the Norman Empire, it would probably be the time to end the road. He was not like Artoria, who could have the ability to reverse the world, and when he went up, he would also give him food...
Egil is like this and finds a reason for not having to go to the battlefield. At the same time, he continues to spend time improving his combat ability to ensure his chances of survival.
In this case, the princes and nobles of those five countries - Burgundy, Hesse, Brandenburg, Bavaria and Hungary arrived one after another (high-quality texts first, all in %). Due to the different distances and distances, the first one to arrive was Attila, the king of this disaster-stricken kingdom.
In front of Egil, Attila seemed very humble. Egil was very satisfied to discover that the series of blows in recent years, the destruction of the country, sleeping in plague, food failure, and subordinates rebellion... A lot of messy things have completely made this old man in his fifties completely lose his ambition. Now, this king who once roamed the continent and made the nations panic has degenerated into a mediocre person who only wants to protect the little power in his hands. The purpose of joining the Crusader this time is probably to show off his strength. That means - you see that I have many tigers under my command and Hungary is a barren land, so don't make any decisions about me.
That's about it.
"From then on the road to conquest, there was another opponent missing." Egil greeted Attila while sighing in his heart. However, he received the Hungarian king with the highest specifications - although this guy only brought five thousand Hungarian cavalry. However, the force of a regiment of the Norman Empire was probably inferior to that of combat power. But at least it was an available soldier, and it was the first king to enter Kherson, which had a great symbolic significance.
"Then, please support your Majesty next." At the banquet for Attila, Egil smiled so well and said with a full face: "Of course, in return, the Norman Empire will provide more assistance to Hungary."
Although Egil did not understand what he wanted to support. Attila was not a fool. Naturally, he understood what Egil meant. As Egil had thought before, Hungary could maintain stability now. It was supported by the Norman Empire's aid and trade with relatively preferential policies. He could not have refused Egil.
"Your Majesty, you are polite. With your majestic talent, such a mighty and mighty army in the Norman Empire, it is natural to be the leader of the Crusades."
"We must rely on you, Your Majesty, whether it is this matter or this Crusade." Egil raised his glass again and toasted Attila: "Come, let us raise our glasses for the health and longevity of our distinguished guests!"
Attila immediately stood up: "For the health and longevity of his generous master!"
So the atmosphere of the banquet was quite good, and the host and the host returned happily. Attila received what he wanted, worth 50,000 Norman gold coins - mainly food, wheat and other agricultural equipment. The others were agricultural production skills, experience and science and technology with infinite value. Attila was sure that with these things, the recovery of his kingdom would be much faster - maybe before he died, he could see that the kingdom would return to its heyday and even look better...
In October, the two unsustained teams of Hesse and Brandenburg, which were farther away, also arrived. As relatives and in-laws, as well as those who betrayed Barbarossa at the same time, there are also allies who are closest to each other. The relationship between these two guys is quite close. It is the kind of closeness that can be imagined by Fujiwo to make up for gay friends. Therefore, it is understandable that the armies of the two countries arrive at the same time.
This time, Hesse and Brandenburg contributed 20,000 troops to the Crusaders - the two principalities each contributed 10,000. They also seemed to have certain combat effectiveness, and they were definitely not the kind of temporary recruitment of peasant soldiers.
The Hessians mainly focus on infantry, wearing heavy chain armor, carrying zither shields on their backs, long swords on their waists, Hessian Guards infantry holding two-handed battle axes, and Hessian heavy shield spears holding zither shields and spears to cover the long-range attacks of giant shield crossbowmen in the Italian style. Although such attack formations are not powerful and have poor adaptability. However, their perfect defense ability and attack ability that can be far and near will make no one dare to underestimate the Hessian infantry. Such a formation suitable for steady growth is the nemesis of Arab light cavalry and light archers.
"It's really good. Although it's a lot worse than my Norman elite infantry." This is Egil's evaluation of these Hessian Guards infantrymen.
"However, in terms of fighting cavalry... it may be slightly stronger than our infantry." Egil couldn't help but think of this when he looked at the two-meter-long spears held by the heavy infantry.
Nowadays, Egil is also quite confused about whether to equip his infantry with weapons such as spears to prevent heavy cavalry assaults. However, if that is the case, the soldiers' weight will be further increased. A composite armor with a chain, a kite shield, a battle axe, and a flying axe. The weight of this is already very heavy. In addition to a five-pound heavy spear, the weight of the Norman infantry is further increased, and the physical consumption will be accelerated... Therefore, at present, except for the Norman Guards' Imperial Guards' Imperial Guards, which are equipped with ordinary infantry weapons, and are equipped with spears, other infantrymen are not equipped with such weapons.
"Or it is said that after this, a group of shield spearmen should be specially trained... No, no, no, in addition to having a certain effect against cavalry, such infantry is completely inferior to that of tomahawk infantry, and the strength and defense ability of the array are not as strong as those of the super spearmen. It is really useless... But then again, the defense, attack power, array strength and maneuverability of the shield spearmen... are not top-notch. But if we look at it comprehensively, all abilities of these soldiers are reasonable (high-quality text starters, all in %). A versatile army. Well... maybe a group of shield spearmen should be recruited as a reserve team on the second line."
Egil spent some thought on the Hesse army, and then turned around and looked at the Brandenburg army. Compared with the troops with excellent combat effectiveness but inconspicuous infantry, Brandenburg army looked much more powerful. It was also an army of ten thousand people. The infantry were moderate shield spearmen wearing ordinary chain armor and coats of hard leather armor. They did not look as powerful as the soldiers of Hesse - but they had a thousand more cavalry troops than Hesse.
The thousand cavalry were fully armed, wearing heavy chain armor, equipped with chain armor for war horses, with maces hanging around their waists, and kiln-shaped shields on their backs. From the side, they were riding horses without chain armor, equipped with ordinary chain armor, and the cavalry round shield spear entourage carried two heavy cavalry spears.
Of course, if it were just like this, then there would be no big difference from ordinary feudal knights - what Egil cares about was the hoods worn by the cavalry and the horse felt for war horses - they were all black, and from a distance they looked like a black cloud and a group of crows.
"It's the Black Dragon Knights of Brandenburg. I'm really willing to invest in it." Egil chuckled and made such a comment: "It's much better than the average feudal knights - but it's worse than the iron armored paladins of Eastern Rome, that is, the level of the Norman Knights... may be even lower. It's not the opponent of the Royal Knights, nor the opponent of the Guard Knights and the Guard Knights."
If Egil could have some useful and worthy of reference in the infantry of Hessen. Then Egil saw only superficiality in the Black Dragon Knights of Brandenburg... Compared with Norman, the now recognized power of continental cavalry, these knights did seem a little tender. In terms of equipment, tactics and organization, they were inferior to Norman elites. Egil naturally had the right to despise these guys.
Fortunately, Albrecht of Brandenburg is also a wise man. Seeing Egil showing disdain, he hurriedly said: "It's really, your Majesty laughs. Such heavy cavalry is already the strongest elite in our country, but it is probably not as good as the Imperial Knights..."
People give face, Egil is not that idiot, and everyone understands the reason for carrying the flowery sedan chair. Zhan Yan smiled immediately and said, "It's too good... Although the name of the Empire Knight is famous, the elite of Brandenburg Knights is definitely not bad. Only such powerful troops can be brought out by the Duke. In my opinion, the Black Dragon Knight is definitely not inferior to the armored cavalry of the Eastern Roman Imperial Guards and the first-class heavy cavalry of our Imperial Guards..."
