Chapter 35 Indisputable
Although they were very confident in their own defensive formation, in fact, the final result would not be changed by the opponent's little "confidence". The Norman Hussars held light cavalry lances and increased the speed of the No. 5 war horse to the maximum. With a fast and amazing charge, they taught the coalition forces a lesson. They told them what the elite cavalry in the new era meant.
After such a long period of development and generations of reforms, these Hussars have developed from simple light cavalry to elite troops between light cavalry and heavy cavalry. They also have the skills of charge, cavalry, reconnaissance, harassment, etc. No matter how many opponents they are, these Hussars are almost competent and gain the advantage to the greatest extent. When the enemy is stronger than them, they can also use their unparalleled speed to quickly leave the battlefield and avoid unnecessary losses.
Emperor Norman regarded these hussars very important. In the emperor's plan, the mainstream of his army will be composed of large quantities of artillery, more phalanx infantry, and more hussars. In the traditional sense, the strong, heavy infantry and heavy cavalry will gradually be eliminated and retreated from the position of the main force. Gradually, they will appear as auxiliary troops.
Of course, such reforms are only brewing in the emperor's mind. Because they are too shocking, they cannot be said at all. Even if they say them, they will definitely be regarded as nonsense by people. So it is better not to say them.
But these are not the key points. The Norman Empire will continue to develop. Whether it is military, political, military, or the emperor's palace, it is not static. But now, the most important thing is the victory or defeat of this battle.
The Norman Hussars' charge was extremely powerful. If the coalition had already arranged the formation at this moment, they would have no choice but to have the power to fight. However, the Hussars' speed was too fast. The coalition could not be fully prepared.
So, the final result can be imagined. A total of one thousand Hussars were used in band charge for five consecutive rounds. It took a little effort. But it could still be considered easy, destroying several defensive arrays deployed by the enemy behind. After being violently impacted by the Norman Hussars, those loose hedgehog arrays exploded like rotten oranges. The human blood, corpses, and damaged equipment, as orange juice and orange flesh, also flowed all over the ground...
"It's really terrifying, it's simply terrifying!" Unexpectedly, the impact of these Hussars could reach or even exceed the level of ordinary heavy cavalry. By the time the two dukes of the coalition wanted to change their tactics, it was too late. The rear formation, which was completely destroyed, wailed and collapsed. The survivors threw away their armor and fled in a panic. At the same time, they greatly shocked the main force of the coalition forces in the front. The defeated soldiers attacked their formation, and such a tragic scene also greatly damaged morale.
The elite heavy infantry on the Hessen side were slightly better, but they were a little depressed. At least they could continue to fight. But the shield spearmen on the Brandenburg side were not good. They were not as good as the Hessen people in terms of quality and morale. They were hit hard at this moment and naturally collapsed faster. What's more important is that after the Norman Hussars were re-established, they launched the second round of charge.
When the Norman Empire Hussars killed their opponents and the skeleton Hussars of the coalition at an extremely terrifying speed, the result of this battle was decided. The Hussars roared and charged towards the coalition forces that had dropped morale and were almost defeated. On the front, the Norman Empire's super spear square also turned into defense to offense under the command of General Walter. The soldiers roared, raised their spears flat, and launched an attack on the coalition forces at a slow but extremely firm pace.
The front was under a squeeze attack. Behind it, there were even more elite Hussars, wielding their sabers and rushing violently. The situation of the coalition forces suddenly fell to the bottom. Under the continuous attacks of the Norman army, the Hessen and Brandenburg coalition forces, which originally had 28,000 troops, had only less than 20,000 troops left. Such high casualties themselves put the coalition forces on the verge of collapse. Now, such a dangerous situation has made the coalition forces even worse!
"This is probably the last moment, my friend. Do you still have to fight?!" At that time, seeing such a battle situation that could almost be said to be hopeless, Frederick asked Luciver in this way.
"Of course!" Lucivid said his answer loudly without hesitation. After that, the two dukes held each other's hands tightly for the last time and let go. They rushed towards the battlefield without looking back. The Duke of Hesse advanced towards the front infantry battlefield. The Duke of Brandenburg launched a counterattack towards the powerful Hussars behind.
"Let's go together! Contract the array! We haven't failed yet, and we still have a try!! German warriors, let these Normans see your power!!!" Duke Lucivid of Hesse roared, drew his sword and rushed to the front line, waved his latest style of hand and half a sword with both hands. He cut off the spear head that stabbed him suddenly, then strode forward, raised his sword and cut off the head of a Norman phalanx infantry.
While fighting, the Duke roared like this. With him as the center, the last group of Hessian Guards rushed over, causing a small blow to the Norman phalanx and successfully hindered the Normans' progress.
The duke blocked the Normans in front, and Frederick of Brandenburg led a few, the last hundred cavalrymen who could fight - the Black Dragon Knights, knight attendants, recruited noble knights, and hired heavy cavalry... No matter which army there were, the duke, with such a group of mobs, and tied the bullet and killed with the Norman Hussars who came from behind - nearly ten times the cavalry.
Duke Lucivid shouted loudly, cheering for his soldiers. But Duke Frederick, as crazy as a beast, was roaring like a beast. Even the end of the madness was still above the Norman Hussars. Although he was soon injured by several Hussars, Duke Frederick still gritted his teeth and persevered, killed the two Hussars, and barely stabilized the front.
"It's really not easy." After seeing this scene, General Walter shook his head and said such words. Of course, there was still no second sentence: "Struggle to death..."
Although the two dukes worked very hard, they could even be said to have fought for their lives. However, these two dukes who have been honing their martial arts since childhood are at best just a relatively powerful knight. They have no effect on large-scale combat. The monarch took the lead in the attack and did have some motivational effects. But that's all.
They have neither the unique personal strength nor the excellent command ability. Speaking of which, they are just "talent"-level guys. They are really powerless to fight against the fully attributed monsters adjusted by the system.
Soon, the frontal battlefield was ineffective, and the heavy cavalry on both wings were even killed and dispersed. Later, the skeleton Hussars were also defeated by the Norman Hussars. The two dukes Luciverd and Frederick fought desperately, but they were only slightly delayed the time when they were defeated.
It was 2:30 pm. After a long war, Hesse and Brandenburg's 28,000 coalition forces were now only about 15,000 left. The morale of most soldiers dropped to the bottom. As long as there was a little touch, they would collapse.
"It's over." At that time, both General Walter and the two dukes of the coalition had such an idea. When the Norman army on the front gradually changed into assault infantry with amazing impact, when the Norman Knights on both wings began to attack the flanks of the coalition. When the Norman Hussars in the rear formed reorganized and attacked the coalition's rear formation. Under the attack on all sides, the coalition was completely defeated. The soldiers fled in all directions and refused to obey the orders. The knights also abandoned their glory and started to cry like women.
Lucivid, Frederick, these two powerful electoral princes of the Holy Roman Empire and the Duke of Germany, also died in the chaos. When cleaning after the war, the bodies were barely recognized. They were injured by swords and swords and gunshot wounds on them...number of various scars. They were almost inconsistent...
Because the distance between North Germany and Krakow in Eastern Europe was very close, the news of victory was soon spread to the emperor. After hearing that the two dukes refused to surrender and died in the chaos, Egil seemed a little sad. This was not all a show like a cat crying rat.
After all, he had known these two dukes for a long time. And they became their own vassals, and even after they obtained the title of Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, they had indeed given great support to themselves. Egil felt that he and Frederick and Lucivid were friends at least. In the end, he indirectly caused their deaths. This was really a bit...
“No big deal.”
Three seconds later, the sadness was over and I continued having sex. The emperor's time was very precious, and it was really not worth shedding tears for the two dead people. With that American time, it would be better to study and study with the eldest princess, the royal descendants, the heir of the empire, the Norman crown prince, and so on.
That's almost that. With Hesse, Brandenburg, Milan, Venice, Switzerland, and Swabian, these countries have been pacified one after another. This so-called "anti-Norman League" or "anti-Norman League" has basically come to an end... The empire's unification of Europa is just around the corner... (To be continued...)
