The walls were wide enough, so the Norman army could invest and the unfolded troops were enough. The stairs leading to the city were very narrow, so the Norman army could invest less. With this advantage, the Burgundian army once again got some breathing time. Queen Mary took the opportunity to prepare to dispatch a group of troops to go up.

But the knights under her command told the queen this way: No, we have no army to use anymore.

This surprised the Queen - there were more than 20,000 troops in Dijon City, and in addition, the citizens of Dijon were temporarily recruited. She could use more than 40,000 men. How could it be consumed in such a short time?

"After seeing the battlefield, those citizens were afraid of not daring to advance, the entire sect was useless." So the knights explained this - indeed, if they were asked to hide behind battlements, draw bows and arrows at the soldiers coming, or throw rocks, they might have some courage. And they could transport supplies as logistics troops. But they had to go into battle hastily and fight head-on with the most powerful army in the world... it would be strange if they didn't mutiny.

"What a bastard..." After hearing this, Queen Mary felt that her doomsday was approaching. Looking at the city walls, whether it was the stone staircase next to the city wall or the slewing staircase inside the arrow towers everywhere, the Normans were gradually advancing. What was even more terrifying was the main entrance. After receiving enough support, the Norman assault infantry at the main entrance began to continue to advance, and in time were the Wallonian Guards and Swiss Mercenaries, and they could not stop them from surrounding them on three sides.

After completely occupying the north wall, the Norman army sent a large number of crossbowmen, who crossed the moat along the suspension bridge, then ran to the wall along the ladder cart, and shot at the Burgundian army in the city. The Emperor's angry crossbowmen could take away the lives of multiple Burgundian soldiers. The Burgundians had no temper at all...

There was no reinforcements, and there was no other way. Queen Mary could only watch her army being massacred. Then, when the Normans continued to cut down the Burgundy flag that she was hanging on the top of the city and replaced it with the black-backed white phoenix flag of the Norman Empire, the morale of the Norman army reached its peak, and the Burgundies also lost the last bit of consciousness of resistance. The defeat was like a mountain.

Even the most powerful knight and the bravest soldier. At this moment, there was no way to continue fighting. The resistance was quickly killed, and the others either ran away or surrendered. The defense line of Burgundy completely collapsed. The Normans also attacked Dijon like a tide and began to gradually advance towards the city.

"Your Majesty! Let's leave this city quickly!"

Seeing all this, Queen Mary was disheartened and almost fainted. And beside her, the loyal Burgundy Knights shouted anxiously.

"Leave? Leave here, where can we go?" Queen Mary smiled bitterly.

"We will evacuate south, go to Lyon, go to Marseille, and even take a boat to Corsica," the knights continued to persuade.

"No." Queen Mary shook her head solemnly, and then smiled bitterly: "A one of these tragic experiences is enough. I no longer want to bear the suffering of being defeated by the enemy for the second time. Let's surrender..."

After hearing this, the Burgundian Knights felt very sad. The vast majority decided to stay with their monarch until the last moment. A small number decided to continue to resist. They left Dijon and continued to move south to fight against the Normans to the end.

However, these are not big things. For those defeated soldiers and generals, the Man Empire would not treat them as big things. Anyway, they have got everything they need.

On September 27, 1012, after the city of Dijon was broken, under the threat of the Norman army, Queen Mary Burgundy announced her abdication. The kingdom II of the Burgundy Kingdom was annexed by the Norman Empire. Therefore, a kingdom, which was considered a first-class power in Central Europe, was quickly destroyed under the attack of the Normans, and even with the secret assistance of other countries.

This made other European countries feel frightened. When facing the offensive of the Norman Empire, they became even less confident.

In October, Emperor Norman received a good news, and also received a handwritten letter from the monarchs of Hesse and Brandenburg. Two 80% of them secretly helped the monarchs of Burgundy, and in the letter, they were extremely humble. They congratulated Emperor Norman's victory, praised the military honors, and regarded himself as his subjects, and called Egil as the lord of the monarch repeatedly.

The emperor knew that in addition to these two people, the Southern Germany, Bavaria, Austria, Switzerland, Milan, and Venice, after receiving the news of the destruction of Burgundy, they also wrote similar letters. In addition, the Spanish Kingdoms, which were not originally in his feudal sequence, may also take action - most of them will actively ask to become a vassal of Egil to avoid disaster.

"It's really, innocent." The emperor sneered at this. With absolute strength, he didn't need these things at all. No matter how powerful the prey was, he would tear the prey to pieces and eat them.

So Egil threw the letters directly into the trash can and gave instructions on the things in Burgundy.

"The pseudo-Marry's crime was extremely evil when she resisted the heavenly soldiers. Let's take the credit for Charles, the former Burgundy king, and the fact that he could take the initiative to surrender at the last moment, would not kill him. The emperor surrendered his kindness and was named Earl, and he would come to Krakow as soon as possible from now on.

Although Dijon was defeated, the remaining territory of Burgundy had not yet been settled. General Farr, the commander of the Western European Front, was ordered to continue to sweep the territory of Burgundy. It is necessary to capture all the remaining land and the city. General Walter will lead his army back to the North Saxony garrison from today, waiting for my further orders.

The royal family in Burgundy is guilty, the nobles are guilty, but the people are innocent. The army is not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately or loot. When encountering resistance, they will first recruit them. If they fail to recruit them, they will be wiped out."

The emperor's order was quickly passed through the carrier pigeon. After hearing that Dijon was broken, General Walter's troops stopped marching. After hearing the emperor's order, he returned to Krakow. General Far continued to move south. The Queen of Burgundy surrendered, and most of the Burgundy villages and towns were ordered. The bandits who took the opportunity to cause trouble were all pacified by the Norman army.

The few Burgundians who refused to surrender were completely unable to survive in big cities and plains, or continued to flee south or entered the deep mountains and forests, becoming new bandits and thieves. "The scenery is worrying☆ Finally, in November, the Norman army descended on Marseille. They defeated the last Burgundian army irreversibly with the thunder. Then they continued to go west, and took more than ten days to pacify Aquitaine.

At this point, the French and the Netherlands were all pacified. The Man Empire territory once again opened up many contributions, and was called the emperor the best Christmas gift this year.

Next, the dispatch of officials, the city and the management of the place was another busy round. The Emperor Mann regrouped the newly acquired areas and the original Flanders. The neighborhood of Dijon was divided into Burgundy and included them in the jurisdiction of the province of Flanders. The remaining northern Burgundy territory was established by the emperor a new province called the Netherlands. The southern Burgundy region was combined with Aquitaine and formed a new province called the Southern Flanders. With a stroke of his pen, the Emperor Mann divided France into three and managed separately.

General Fal's troops, Egil used the trophy and points he obtained to replenish his troops, so that General Fal's troops would return to their heyday, with a size of 30,000 troops. He arranged his new tasks:

The emperor asked General Fal to place his main force in areas close to Germany, and to patrol the newly occupied Southern Flanders and the Netherlands with a small number of troops. In addition, a group of troops were sent to guard the Pyrenees and then spy on the Spanish region.

In a letter to General Fal, the emperor suggested that after completely annexing the German region, he asked him as the head coach to lead the army across the Pyrenees and sweep Spain, General Fal was very excited.

In this way, in 1012 AD, the Burgundy Kingdom, the once glorious Central European power, disappeared without a trace and became part of the increasingly powerful Norman Empire. After that, the emperor dispatched his two most trusted generals, Farr and Walter, to the border area adjacent to Germany, with the intention of which can be imagined.

"We cannot just sit and wait for death! We must take action!" Germany, or the princes of the Holy Roman Empire, had no choice but to start privately connecting under this situation. When they decided to form a coalition force to fight against the brutal invasion of the Norman Empire, they also decided to elect a new Holy Roman Emperor and refused to recognize Egil as their lord.

While they were in private, the emperor sent a new general - a cold general named Ershi, a man with a cruel commander, a man with a brutality, loyal and ambition, and led an army of 30,000 to Eastern Europe. Like the German border area, the emperor's strategy of encircling 80,000 troops in the German region had been completed.

"The next goal is Germany. I want to unify the entire Germanic ethnic group!" At the Christmas banquet, the emperor issued such a declaration...
