The Italian heavy cavalry and knights are still using traditional knight weapons and long swords. The biggest weakness of this classic weapon that can be used for slashing and stabbing is that its armor-breaking ability is too poor. In today's era of increasing development of armor, this shortcoming is enough to be fatal.

In comparison, the classic weapon of the Norman Knight is not mentioned for now. The Hussars are equipped with weapons that are quite targeted at heavy knights. Although the light cavalry crossbows have a range that is not as good as those used in compound bows and infantry. However, the close-range lethality is extremely amazing. Within ten meters, you can penetrate two millimeters of breast deck armor!

At this moment, the cavalry of both sides were entangled and all lost their speed. Although they had no time to turn the string, they could have miraculous effects when used as a disposable weapon.

In addition to cavalry crossbows, the melee weapons equipped by the Hussars are also warhammers, maces, meteor hammers, multi-head shackles and other things with armor-breaking bonuses. They are powerful when swinging. The Italians who kill their parents and mothers exchanges - although they are slightly worse in defense. However, relatively speaking, the defense of hard leather armor for long swords is slightly higher than that of the plate chain composite armor for armor-breaking weapons.

In addition, because of the light armor, the Norman Hussars' movements are more flexible. Whether it is dodging, blocking or attacking, they are all half a beat faster than the Italians. // The fastest text update of Shumilou is no ads. //. Warhammers, maces and other objects with heavy weapons can also take advantage of them when fighting against the long sword. The various advantages combined have allowed the Norman Hussars to win an absolute victory in the battle against the Italian heavy cavalry.

Not to mention, their number is much larger than that of Italian heavy cavalry.

At this point, the Norman Empire had an absolute advantage. On the front, heavy infantry were slaughtering enemy soldiers. On the flank, Norman Knights and Hussars were slaughtering Italian heavy cavalry. At the same time, the longbowers and crossbowmen following behind also entered the range and began to shoot, spreading rain of arrows above the Italians' heads. This further increased the casualties of the Italians.

At this moment, even the enemy's main ace, those well-equipped Venetian heavy infantry, completely lost their confidence. The fugitive began to increase gradually...

Sure enough, there is no suspense to be defeated...

The two dukes, Francisco and Witt, looked at each other and saw the heavy fear and despair in each other's eyes.

Sure enough, fighting with the Normans is not an interesting thing... Let alone power and status, you can't save your life.

At this moment, even more violent cheers broke out on the front line - as the situation was mature, General Wender grinned and blessed the Nordic wolf skill for his soldiers. The Norman army's combat power increased greatly, and his morale was like a rainbow. He launched a more violent attack. The Italian army could not support it under such a fierce attack. He collapsed helplessly...

"I have made a decision in order not to be insulted." Vette sighed softly. He looked at the soldiers who were running wildly and crying in front of him and said such words. Then he gritted his teeth and without hesitation, he pulled out his sword from his waist and cut his neck hard. The arterial blood sprayed Francisco's face.

"Duke!!" Seeing Witt behaved like this, the knights beside him either cried and committed suicide, or roared, rushing towards the Norman army like a tide. Only Duke Francisco and a group of knights under him looked at each other. They didn't know what to do.

Unlike the young and tough-tempered Vite, the Duke of Francisco did not have the courage to die. His body, which was unable to move due to despair and fear, also improved because of the stimulation of Vite's passion...

"I. Let's retreat - go back to Milan! Quick!!" Duke Francisco shouted impatiently, then turned over and fled to the north quickly. The knights also ran. Brocade robe, golden crown, gilded armor, and gem-covered swords... Everything that would affect speed was thrown away by Francisco. His knights also followed suit, throwing out armor to increase their speed.

The originally shining duke, and a group of knights with thick armor, became like refugees in a very short period of time. It was really disgusting.

On the other side, the battle came to an end. The Norman army continued to attack, completely dismantling the last group of enemies that were still resisting, capturing prisoners, plundering the spoils, and taking over the situation. They threw the blue snake flag representing Milan to the ground, and then raised the four-winged white phoenix flag representing the great Norman Empire.

"Victory! Victory belongs to my lord, the great Emperor, the great empire created by the great Egil, and the most loyal and brave warriors of our empires!!!" General Winder shouted loudly at the top of the city: "Today's victory means that the empire has mastered Italy, and this peninsula is now owned by the Norman Empire! Its territory, people, and wealth are all owned by the great Egil!!!"

After this victory, with the fall of Gernaya, one of the most important cities in northern Italy, the vast majority of the rebellious forces in northern Italy declared disintegration. General Winder took advantage of the victory to pursue him. He attacked the villages and towns in northern Italy, and told them to obey the laws and rule of the Norman Empire. At the same time, the main force continued to head north and headed straight to Milan, the last important town in northern Italy.

As long as Milan, the last fortress of the Northern Italian resistance forces, this peninsula with a strong commercial atmosphere will be truly from the Norman Empire!!

At the same time, when General Wind won continuously in Northern Italy and added territory to the empire, the other three armies also made progress. Not to mention the other two armies, just talking about General Far, this general with a strong and irritable temper, although angry, was still helpless - for various reasons, his army was the slowest.

Because we have to continue to eliminate the Burgundian remnants and send troops to monitor Spain. Therefore, General Fal's troops are the weakest of the four armies. The other troops have 30,000 troops, but General Fal only has 20,000 troops - of course this is not the point. If the troops are insufficient, tactics and command will be compensated. As a guy who is in power for the 20 o'clock ruler, there are still some ideas. However, the difficulties he encountered are not just these.

General Walter in the north faced the coalition forces of Hessen and Brandenburg, General Ess in the east faced the so-called "Holy Roman Emperor" who ruled Austria and Bohemia, General Winder in the south faced the coalition forces of Northern Italy. Only General Far - in the expected case, the general was to deal with, or simply to occupy, the weakest of the gods, and now he is unknown whether he can call him a country.

Since the most generation of Duke of Swabian, Henry, the son of Redbeard Frederick, was killed and no one in Swabian's successors fell into chaos. This area has been getting worse and there is no sign of improvement at all. With the failure of the Second Anti-Norman War, it was then civil strife and then encountered the Black Death... Such a series of blows have made this originally well-developed Duke's tribe one of the most barren and desolate areas in Europa.

Originally, General Fal felt bored to deal with such an opponent. He felt that such an opponent would not even need to dispatch troops, and sent a few hundred troops to take down Swabian City, and then he could declare victory and send officials - if there were still people there for their management.

An error occurred like this.

Although General Far is an extremely excellent general, commander and military strategist, he is as idiotic as a baby in politics. This is also one of the reasons why this guy is loyal and has zero ambitions. Egil is also quite satisfied with this setting, because in this way, there is no need to be afraid of military personnel interfering in politics.

However, it was also because of this reason that General Far's army encountered a crisis.

An enemy that was originally scheduled to appear appeared. On the way to Swabian, they encountered a large number of attacks, some of which were several people, some of which were dozens, or even hundreds, and hundreds of people. They used the mountainous terrain areas of the South Germany region to conduct guerrilla warfare. They were well-trained, had a tough style, and would rather die than surrender - they were from Switzerland.

General Fal encountered the attack of the Swiss. Originally, Egil believed that after their Duke William died, they would not have the power to act. After providing mercenaries to Burgundy, and after failing, they finally couldn't help but stand out and stood opposite the Norman Empire.

It took a while before Egil learned the news - he was originally regarded as a useless person, so Switzerland, which wanted to postpone its attack for a while, did not join the anti-Norman League, but fought against the Norman Empire!

They abandoned the feudal system and replaced it with a "parliament" composed of some civilian leaders. They announced the formation of a republic.

At the same time, because Switzerland is a mountainous area and has a scattered population, the losses suffered by Switzerland were not very high during the spread of the Black Death. In addition, the Swiss folk customs were fierce, and most men learned mercenary skills. So this time, they were so fierce that they could even take out a large army of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. The day and night attacks were unwilling to fight the Normans, which made the Norman army exhausted. However, because of the unfamiliar terrain and not good at mountain combat, General Farr suffered more than once. This made him particularly angry, but he had no choice.

The mountainous terrain and transportation and supply were also very difficult, and the people's livelihood in the Swabian region was in decline and could not provide any help. General Farr was not careful and fell into a dilemma.
