Chapter 41 Collapse
"Okay!" Seeing that his artillery opened the other party's suspension bridge gate without any suspense, General Ershi suddenly waved his fists and cheered loudly. (Jinghu Literature Network updated quickly) In Prague City, the soldiers of the coalition were extremely desperate. No one could maintain morale in such a terrifying shelling. Some coalition soldiers were no exception. Many of them were frightened by such violent attacks. There were many people who were not good at peeing their pants. Under such circumstances, if the Norman Empire wanted to attack again, they naturally became slack.
"Quick! Build the bridge quickly. The army attacks! Assault infantry is in front and infantry is behind. Don't stop shooting with long-range crossbows! Take out all the equipment and break the city today!" General Ershi waved his fists and roared like this. The fourth round of bombing of the thirty-five cannons also made the best footnote for his words. At least one-third of the flowering bullets flying everywhere fell into the city of Prague. The coalition forces on and under the city walls were blown up like rotten meat...
After General Ershi gave the order, the Norman army started to act in a very fast time. The soldiers pushed and pulled the bridge-building vehicles desperately. They quickly built a twenty-meter-wide bridge on the two walls on the east and north sides, not so much as a bridge on the road. Then, thousands of Norman infantry roared and pushed their ladders and rushed over. On the chariot that was in place when they were in place, the crossbowmen of the Norman Empire also began to shoot arrows into the city desperately. The bow arrows of various specifications and styles were desperately pouring into the city of Prague as if they were not free. They could use them to take a bath.
"This..." At that time, General Carl was killed by a shrapnel from a land-blooming bullet during the third round of bombing. Half of his head was cut off by a shrapnel from the ground. The command of the coalition fell on General Wallenstein - but he was a Bavarian. The Austrian and Bohemian soldiers completely did not want to listen to him. In fact, after learning that General Carl was killed, the Austrian and Bohemian soldiers completely collapsed.
"Breakthrough - no, no! The current city of Prague has almost all the coalition forces concentrated. If it fails, it will be all over! No! We must find a way to stabilize these soldiers - yes, they just lost their morale. As long as the morale is still there, the situation will still be possible! That's right!!!"
Almost in a moment. (Jinghu Literature Network updated quickly) General Wallenstein's head was like a windmill, and he turned around for more than ten times. Then he made a decision! He had to continue to stick to it, yes! He had to stop the Norman attack here, otherwise it would be all over!
"Calm down, calm down!! Don't run away! Keep fighting!!" General Wallenstein roared as if he was crazy, killing the defeated Austrian and Bohemian soldiers who were fleeing everywhere without mercy. Xiao was able to revive them with fear and pressure. At the same time, he also loudly ordered his two deputy to act separately and guard the city:
"Adar, take people to guard the city gate! Never let the Normans rush in! Kahn. You bring people to help the north wall! Just follow the way I cracked the other ladder truck and fought with the Normans! Hurry up, let's take action separately! I will prepare the army and must calm all these Austrians and Bohemians!!!"
In this way, with the efforts of Wallenstein and a group of knights and guards under his command, the chaos on the front and east walls was slightly suppressed - of course, this suppression was only when the Normans had not arrived yet. And with the attack of the Norman Empire's bows and arrows, there was a tendency to collapse.
So, when the Norman assault infantry quickly crossed the river, what was waiting for them was not the enemy's scattered flight or kneeling down to surrender. At the gate of Prague, which had been bombarded, there were a group of Wallenstein trained himself. The gorgeously-dressed super-laners were guarding the people. Although there were not many armors, their clothes were made of high-quality fabrics, even silk, and they used various dyes, even gold and silver threads, etc. In addition, there were many pendants and medals used for decoration, making their clothes not much cheaper than armor.
These people are the products of Bavarian military reform. Munich's super spear infantry. An elite unit inspired by high military pay, strict training and a sense of honor. Although their defense is very poor, it is extremely aggressive and has a very high morale. The use of super spears as weapons is also in line with the military situation of this era.
If such an army appeared elsewhere, it would probably cause a craze and build many great achievements. But unfortunately, some guys were facing Norman soldiers, the most powerful, advanced, and bloodthirsty army in the world.
"Damn it! Get out of the way! You kill these days! We are soldiers of the great Emperor Egil!"
At this moment, there were still people who dared to resist the great Norman Empire☆The assault infantry in the front row roared, swinged the sharp long-handled battle axe, and directly cut off the gun that stabbed him at the front row. They cursed loudly. The comrades beside him were not willing to be outdone. While cursing, they waved the battle axe without hesitation without hesitation. They vowed to chop these waste firewood that looked like clowns into slag!
Under such circumstances, the "new army" that was once highly anticipated by Wallenstein was soon destroyed by the Norman Assault Infantry. However, these Munich super-split soldiers did not disappoint their title of "Lion". They still did not retreat at all when the formation was damaged. They drew out their swords, scimitars, and battle axes to contact the Norman Assault Infantry.
In this way, the front gate was preserved because of the desperate defense of these Bavarians. On the other hand, the Norman army that walked through the front gate was not as good as those who climbed over the city wall with ladder trucks...
With General Ershi's improvement, hay-paved ladder trucks were used as tools. With the support of the crossbow in the rear (the artillery bombing has stopped. I was afraid of missing it and hurting my own people). After all, the Bavarians only accounted for one-quarter of the coalition forces, and the C who participated in the war as reinforcements was still Bohemia and Austria. It's a pity that these two principalities have no one to take action except General Carl...
In this way, about 10,000 Bavarians—some of them were also in chaos, so let’s give a discount—there are no more than 7,000 Bavarians who have to defend big cities like Prague. It would be fine if there were too spacious places like the city gate. If it were too spacious like the city wall, it would be powerless.
Soon, the Normans stood firm on the wall where the enemy had only a small amount of resistance. They steadily advanced to other parts of the wall, especially several intact arch towers. Many soldiers followed the steps and entered the city of Prague, slashed the coalition soldiers who were fleeing scattered along the streets, and advanced to the city. "People set fire to cause greater chaos...
"Damn it! You bastards, trash! Resist quickly, resist!!!" Seeing this scene, the smoke rose in Prague City, and was full of miserableness. General Wallenstein's eyes were cracked and cursed at the soldiers running around. However, when he kicked a soldier over and was about to go up and make up for his sword, he suddenly discovered that the man raised his head and stared at him with resentment.
With a "kick", Wallenstein's heart jumped suddenly and then he slowed down. Watching the soldier take out the dagger in his arms and stab him, but he didn't dodge the guard next to him. He looked forward and pulled out his sword and blocked him. Otherwise, the famous general would have been dealt with like this, which would be a little sad...
"Is it okay? General?" The guard first cut off the deserter's hand with one sword, and pierced his neck with one sword. Then he asked.
"...The morale of the army has been lost, it's over..." Wallenstein sighed secretly in his heart. Then he made up his mind: Since that's the case, we Bavarians don't need to work hard for you Habsburg Palace! Let's go! Stop doing it!
Thinking of this in his heart, Wallenstein immediately set out to arrange and ordered the guards to go to the city to collect the Bavarian army, take a step forward, and meet at the gate of the south.
In this way, the last group of soldiers who were willing to fight were gone. The city was in chaos for several hours, and Wallenstein led six or seven thousand Bavarian troops to escape from the south. He only suffered a group of motherless children from Bohemia and Austria. Those who were killed were killed, and those who surrendered surrendered. The 30,000 army that Duke Teresa had saved with great difficulty were wiped out in an instant...
The flames and chaos lasted for half a day. After the city broke, Prague barely stabilized. General Ess pulled General Carl in the mayor's residence, half of his head was dead, and after a while, he threw it under the table and kicked it away like a ball. Then he turned around and asked his guards, "So, one died, one ran away?"
"Yes, General. General Carl from Bohemia and Austria was dead. Wallenstein of Bavaria ran away when he saw that the situation was not good." His guard knight replied.
"Well, it doesn't matter if it's okay ≤ ≤ ≤ Today, we will arrive in Munich tomorrow. Can he still run away? Go! Receive the Lord's victory! Just say that we have taken Prague and the restoration of the entire Bohemia is just around the corner!" (To be continued.
