Soon the spies finished the other party's reactions one by one, and did not mobilize the army ambushed on the other side of the shallow. This approach aroused Egil's interest. So Egil is in a very good mood now, just like the kind of game he has always wanted, and it is still the kind of "do not have opened Thunder members, so he has been going on for a few days and nights. In this era, in this year, in this year, this European general, can actually know the way of strangeness and justice. Although it is only a very basic one. A little adjustment can make him miscalculate...

"Just use the number of troops to suppress it. The so-called tricks are just ignorant resistance from the weak side." Egil chuckled like this, and before it was dark, he led the army to the stone bridge. He set up the camp and prepared for the next day's attack.

"Tomorrow will be a fierce battle." On the other side of the Danube, Wallenstein and Duke Henry were so nervous that they couldn't sleep at all. They had inexplicable fear of the battle the next day. At this moment, a light snow came, adding a bit of solemnity to the battlefield. A light snow also lowered the temperature along the Danube again. However, it still did not reach that level that made the Danube frozen suddenly.

On December 4, 1007, AD, the weather cleared. The lazy winter sun shone on the snow, and the light reflected from it made people feel uncomfortable. In such an environment, the Battle of the Danube began. The Duke of Bavaria Henry fought his life and took out the coffin and hired a certain number of mercenaries again. At the same time, a group of Christian Crusaders motivated by the Roman Catholic Church also joined the Duke of Henry's camp, which further expanded the number of duke's army to about 30,000.

The number of Norman troops against Sifalia is 140,000!

As Emperor Egil said before, there is a five-fold gap in military strength between the two sides. With such a gap, the array is straight and the battle is done with the right attack method to win. Southern Germany has a temperate continental climate, and the next two months are all winter. The Alps are an insurmountable barrier. Northern Italy does not have rare generals like Hannibal. Egil has time to slowly fabricate the Bavarian army.

“It’s like that.”

On the morning of that day, the main Norman Empire forces began to get up, eat, and rest. The Norman artillery troops, who had been getting up for an hour and a half early, were already in place. A total of fifty new-barrel guns were already in place. Behind the back were large eight-inch caliber mortars with a larger number, a longer range, but not high accuracy. Next to the exquisitely carved guns, there were a lot of piles of solid shells and flowering shells, and there were shotguns.

The Norman Empire's gunpowder weapon general Bamami wore a yellow and white shirt, leather trousers and long boots, a feather-adorned beret, an ivory-carved flintlock rifle, and a command knife hanging around her waist with his right hand. She was full of heroism.

"It's OK to start." After checking the artillery status for the last time, General Bamamei turned around and said to Egil, who was standing behind him, wearing a white fox fur, smiling as if he was on an outing: "Please give orders. Lord."

"Of course." Egil reached out his hand, took off the spotless white gloves, and then pulled out the blade of tearing apart with a "clang!". Under the dim sunlight, a strange dark red light appeared on the blade, which looked so dazzling.

"My brave soldiers and skilled artillery soldiers! I, Egierskadragrimsong ordered you to blow the enemy on the other side into pieces!" With Egier's order, more than 300 engineers responded. Bamamei immediately ordered: "The mortar cannon uses flowering bullets to freely shoot into the enemy's camp. In the first three rounds, the long-barrel cannon uses solid bullets to destroy the enemy's defensive offensive as much as possible. Then use flowering bullets with the mortar cannon!"

Immediately afterwards, the gunners immediately took action, picked up heavy solid lead bullets on the ground, threw them into the barrel, and used a wooden stick to solid a mortar. Then poured a sufficient amount of gunpowder into the small hole behind the gun, installed the fuse, lit it, and then the gunners would cover their ears and ran to both sides to squat down to prevent the roar of the cannon from shaking the eardrums.

The well-trained Norman engineers bombed the guns and heard the projectiles breaking through the air and roaring. The Bavarian army on the opposite side was completely unstoppable and they were all panicked! The wooden camps that were temporarily pieced together could not stop the fierce artillery fire. The wooden fences, the female watchtower, were broken in a short while. A few stone arrow towers and small fortresses were also constantly damaged, and they were about to be unable to hold on.

Inside the camp, a large number of flowering bullets hit in, which caused quite a lot of chaos. Although the mortars now have no eyes and the hit rate is extremely poor. However, the huge sound, the range of killing, and the sparks burst out ignited the camp's tents…” These things are also quite disturbing. Many soldiers who had never seen such scenes were scared to death, ran around like headless flies, trampling on each other and suffered numerous casualties.

And some unlucky people were hit by flying shrapnel, missing their arms and legs, and even half of their heads were cut off. There were wailing sounds in the military camp, just like the end of the world.

"Damn it! Hurry up, please hurry up, Lord, the hunters must destroy all the artillery! Otherwise, the hunters will definitely fail!" Seeing this scene, Wallenstein was furious and shouted with Duke Henry's hand.

"That's right! Light cavalry! Hurry, light cavalry cross the river! Demolite all the enemy's artillery!" Duke Henry shouted. However, in such a chaotic situation, it was not easy to gather a group of soldiers. After more than half an hour, hundreds of light cavalry gathered in several open spaces. However, in this case, many of the cavalry's war horses were frightened and could not fight. The total number of cavalrymen who could be dispatched was only 200. It really felt like a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, under such fierce bombardment of enemy artillery, these light cavalry did not want to, or dared not cross the river to attack.

"Don't worry, hurry up, go quickly! All the soldiers participating in this charge can obtain knight status! Each person is rewarded with one hundred Florin gold coins!" Duke Henry took the initiative and shouted at the hesitant light cavalrymen.

There must be a brave man under heavy rewards. One hundred Florinkins came to Egil, which was a meal. But in the eyes of the bitter light cavalry, it was a big sum of money. What's more, there was a knight title. This thing was not something that could be obtained casually in this era. Only when Duke Henry gave the order, the cavalry immediately fought for the first place and shouted desperately.

"Tsk... If a shell is fired at this time, it will be a joke." At this moment, Egil also arrived at a temporary looking-up tower, holding a monocular telescope and saw the whole process. Although he couldn't hear what Duke Henry was saying, it was not difficult to guess. His Majesty the Emperor smiled with a bad taste, but he was not worried at all.

In this way, more than 200 cavalry gathered across the bridge, holding up their swords and sabers, and rushed towards the Norman position opposite the bridge. Seeing this scene, artillery commander Ba Mamei was not anxious and waved her hand and ordered: "Fifteen artillery opposite the bridge deck, change to the shotgun, from west to east, three gates in one group, take turns to fire!! Preparation" Ba Mamei said this while raising the command knife in her hand.

Hearing the commander's order, the gunners immediately took action, cleared the barrel and loaded the shells. Only the opposite war horses neighed, and the cavalry crowded into a group of people on the bridge deck roared. Bamamei narrowed her eyes, waved her command knife in her hand and ordered loudly: "Fire!!"

With Bamamei's order, the west side, which is the left wing of the Norman camp, three cannons on the left side of the bridgehead sounded loudly, and countless small projectiles fired formed a metal fan in the air. The three cannons had different angles, and they completely covered the narrow bridgehead. The large area of ​​shotgun also made the enemy cavalry unavoidable! The neighing of the war horses in the sprint and the shouts of the cavalry turned into a heartfelt scream. The dozens of cavalrymen in the front were overturned, and their bodies were covered with holes, like honeycombs!

Immediately afterwards, the other cavalry who continued to sprint forward quickly encountered the second round, and the other three artillery attacks slightly delayed! The same fan-shaped shotgun caused them to suffer the same tragic fate of the cavalry before. Then the third group, the fourth group, and the fifth group, a total of five rounds of cannon shotguns were fired. In a short period of time, the terrifying damage caused by the range of small ranges suddenly destroyed most of the enemy cavalry! The broken limbs of people and war horses covered the entire bridge deck! The surviving cavalry looked at this scene and were completely frightened. Then they howled wildly, turned their horse's head, as if there was a devil chasing them, and ran back desperately.

"The effort was in vain!" Duke Henry and his high sect Wallenstein were furious. They had already observed it. Although the enemy's artillery was powerful, the weapon that could hit one piece was quite surprising. However, the enemy's artillery could not be fired continuously. After one round of fire, they had to wait for a while before they could continue to attack. At that time, it was the best time for their attack. However, this opportunity had disappeared! Wasted by the group of cavalry!

But then again, after seeing that tragic phenomenon, no matter how brave the soldiers are, their minds will be blank and they will do something similar to those cavalrymen.”,… (To be continued)
