Switzerland, Bohemia, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, and of course Nepal. Although these places are scattered all over the world, their ethnic cultures are very different. But to sum up, it is like Senegal, Uganda, Libya, Swaziland, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Yemen, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Morocco, Somalia, Thailand, and Mongolia.

They don't seem to have any necessary connection. But in fact, they actually have one thing in common - they are all polygamy countries.

Well, this is not the point, the focus is on the group above. The common point of these countries. They are all mountainous terrain. At the same time, they all produce powerful mountain infantry.

The barren, closed and complex terrain of the mountainous areas have formed the unique characteristics of the mountain people. They are cunning, cruel, clichéd, and xenophobic. At the same time, they are strong and strong. Those who can survive in barren mountains must be able to work extra hard. In addition, it is also because of these reasons. The price that outsiders want to occupy a certain mountainous area will be quite high.

The terrain is complex, so it is difficult to transport materials, the army is difficult to advance, and it is easy to be attacked by the other party. Extraordinary, so the impression of outsiders is bad. It is difficult to get local support. In addition, the battle with local troops makes it very difficult to appease civilians. The civilian customs are fierce, so don’t be surprised when you see a few little kids dragging their noses taking a stone and daring to rush towards the knights...

That's about it. Although Egil was arrogant, he was also treacherous and cunning. This time, he declared war on the seven countries at once. The 110,000 troops siege four directions. It seemed amazing, but he deliberately missed Switzerland. It was because the Swiss mountains were really useless. It was a pity to abandon it... so the emperor deliberately wanted to slow down Switzerland. When the entire Europa was in his hands, Switzerland and other things would naturally come naturally.

But the fact is not like this. Emperor Norman had a pretty good idea. However, the other party did not plan to make a move as the emperor wanted. The fully armed 40,000 Swiss mountain citizens - and most of them had experience in mercenaries. Such a unit would be difficult to defeat even if General Fal was given his all. The situation, which was originally a foregone conclusion, suddenly became a little complicated...

Because of the Swiss attacks, they sent troops to block the road between France and Swabian, which led to the Norman army being trapped in the mountains of Southern Germany. Therefore, what the Norman Emperor expected was: four armies to destroy the Holy Roman Empire with a destruction of power. Such a plan had actually failed.

Because there was not enough supply transportation, General Fal had to be cautious when acting. He hurried his army in the city of Swabian. Because he left the city, he went to other areas of the Duke of Swabian, and counted on this Duke of Swabian, and most of the troops that could be ordered were attacked by the Swiss. He suffered heavy losses.

The originally imagined "decision was decided" not only did the first update of the website, but the other hand, there were many Schwarpens who joined the Swiss army.

This situation made General Fal helpless and frustrated. He conveyed this view to the Norman Emperor through the flying pigeon: What can they do? Hit us to death. Then their 50,000 troops were able to advance westward to connect with the remnants of Burgundy and Aquitaine. They posed a threat to the provinces of Flanders and the southern Flanders. They could expand their territory more than triple. Then they colluded with the Spaniards, even the pagans in North Africa. They could form a brand new anti-Norman alliance and extend the war that swept across Europa infinitely...

After reading Farr's letter, His Majesty the Emperor refuted the pessimistic argument of Fa. He wrote a letter and scolded him and cheered him up. Because "the situation improved soon."

What the emperor said "had improved" happened in late February of that year.

After General Wende, who was under the command of the Norman Empire, General Wende destroyed Northern Italy. General Wende, who received the emperor's instructions, was not busy pacifying the cities, rural areas and towns of Northern Italy, but went straight north to destroy Milan. He opened up the Alps and communicated between Northern Italy and Southern Germany.

In this way, materials can be imported through the Alps' mountain passes, and continuous materials can be imported. At the same time, there are 10,000 Norman infantry and assault infantry - mountain combat, and the cavalry are useless. It is indeed necessary to support the infantry vigorously.

After providing assistance to General Farr, General Winder led the remaining troops to sweep the rest of Northern Italy and wrote to Krakow, hoping that the central government would send officials to receive Northern Italy's heritage.

After receiving the letter, Egil issued an order to divide Italy into two provinces, two provinces, and divide and govern them. Northern Italy was named Lombardy Province, while Southern Italy was named two provinces of Sicily. A series of islands in the Mediterranean, including Sicily and Malta, belong to Southern Italy.

In this way, the empire will add two more provinces and have the Italian Peninsula that cuts off the Mediterranean in the middle. The empire's control over the Mediterranean will also reach a new level.

In April, the empire had selected two provincial governors, several county governors (also mayors of the county government, and the provincial governors also serve as mayors of the governor's garrison), and hundreds of other officials of all sizes and sizes. They took a carriage from Krakow to the Crimean Peninsula, then took a boat, from the Black Sea to the Eastern Mediterranean, and then disembarked from all over Italy. They set out to manage these territories and stabilize the situation.

In this way, in August of that year, all the work was basically completed. The Norman Empire finally gained absolute dominance over Italy.

At the same time, the battle between the Empire and the Anti-Imperial Alliance is still ongoing.

After receiving sufficient assistance, General Farr's troops began to act. Under the general's dispatch, they rushed out of Swabian City and quickly swept the entire Swabian area. They deterred Swabian residents with several cruel massacres.

After this, Schwabian became much more honest. The general divided his troops into two groups, stationed in the Swabian area with a few troops, and guarded against Hesse in the north and Bavaria in the east, for potential attacks. General Far personally led the main force to the blocked South Flanders and the Swabian Mountain Road in order to defeat the Swiss and clear the traffic between the two sides.

The mountain road is difficult to walk. The Norman army did not have much experience in fighting on mountain terrain. The Swiss did not do anything in the past few months. They built forts, pushed down rocks and trees, blocked the roads, and arranged nearly 10,000 troops to block the roads. At the same time, the main Swiss troops were stationed in Bern, not far away, and could come to provide assistance at any time.

Such a terrain is really hard to fight. For Norman generals who are used to large corps combat, like to spread the army, and use cavalry in groups, it is really a battle method that is not used to. However, General Farr also has his own method - crossbows, large batches of heavy crossbows, longbows. In addition, there are artillery. This general who likes to cover the attacking opponents with firepower thinks that if the mountain terrain is used well, the Norman army's superior firepower can still be used.

So he gathered the heavy crossbowmen and longbowmen. At the same time, he separated the new army's crossbowmen and musketeers. He also strictly monitored his ten twenty-four-pound infantry cannons, as well as the five mortar cannons that were cast in recent times.

General Far had a premonition that this battle would probably be won by relying on these things.

After entering the mountain road area, the Norman army was trapped by stones and trees that blocked the road. They had to spend a while every day to clear the road, so the speed of travel became very slow. This made General Farr believe that the Swiss would soon find them.

After that, General Fal formulated strict security measures. He ordered long-range heavy crossbows and longbows to be scattered in all corners of the army, and asked them to be vigilant. If there was something wrong, don't worry too much and immediately gather fire and shoot.

After General Farr made arrangements, a few days later. Sure enough, the Swiss mountaineer attacked again. But this time, the Normans were prepared for a long time. When they encountered a turbulent movement, they would shoot over a round of bows, arrows, crossbows and arrows. Although the mountaineering people were strong, they had few armors. Most of the arrows passed by. The screams of ghosts and wolves, and their morale dropped by half. The rest were either escaping or being killed by other Norman infantry who had reacted.

After a few times like this, the Swiss attacks not only did not take advantage, but instead lost hundreds of troops. They lost their troops for two consecutive days, so the Swiss did not use this tactic. The Norman army was safe all the way and arrived at the main force of the Swiss. Among the mountains, a rare scattered ground was very fast. The Swiss army stationed there. At the same time, they erected fences on the mountain roads and built earthen walls. They used bows and crossbows to defend themselves to block the Norman Empire.

"It's here..." Seeing the broken, dark and dirty Swiss people in their fortifications laughing and howling wildly in their fortifications, General Fal's face became increasingly ferocious. He ordered the engineers to take out the cannons that had been hidden for a long time and take revenge on these bastards...

In this way, after more than an hour, fifteen artillery pieces, as well as a large number of shells and gunpowder, were transported to the front line, where the opponent's crossbow could not be shot. The Norman engineers pushed the artillery to the best position. Then they detected, aimed, and corrected, and prepared to launch... to be continued
