Chapter VI Modern Warfare
~Date: ~October 28th~
,nbsp;
Although many Balkan mountain people continued to move forward, more people were scared. (The title of this book + Jinghu Watch the fastest update) began to flee back to death, and the enemy's already bad formation became even more messy. The soldiers were originally full of morale and wanted to win. But before the two sides could fight, their troops were beaten to this virtue by the enemy. What's the good thing?
Just as he was thinking this way, on the front line, the second round of artillery of the Normans began. Another hundred artillery pieces were in line. In today's era of intensive formations, the role of artillery bombing could play is much larger than imagined. Just two rounds of artillery were aligned ≠Galle, and the Romanian coalition lost more than one thousand-man team.
"It's really boring." Seeing the enemy, he jumped up and down like a frightened rabbit, completely missing the arrogant and proactive attack posture before. Egil snorted and began to order his army to prepare for combat. Then, the third round of bombardment...
The third round of bombardment was like the last straw that crushed the enemy - no, it was a bit inappropriate to use straw as a metaphor. But there was no more appropriate word to describe it. So I barely used straw - this was made of hundreds of pounds of heavy, made of 130 lead-made pellets, which can be said to be the most substantial straw in the world.
After this "straw" fell on the head of the coalition forces, the army's vanguard completely collapsed. No matter how high the morale, the brave soldier, they would become the most timid coward when facing the dense artillery and the earth-shaking power. Only regular infantry trained in modern professionalism can withstand such shock.
"attack."
The three-wheeled artillery were completed. Emperor Man immediately issued an order to attack. Man Knights) Man Royal Knights, Guards Knights ◆ Cavalry and Eastern European horse-riding militia all climbed up their horses. Raised their rifles, swung their sabers and warhammers (the shackles launched a charge. This charge, in a sense, was also a record--because the protagonist of this charge changed from the knight's troops to a larger number of Hussars.
The Norman Empire's 150,000 army, including the Knights, Royal Knights, and the Guards, were 5,000 heavy cavalry. (Jinghu Literature Network updated quickly) also included four new and old Hussars, a total of 20,000 Hussars. Now, two-thirds of these 150,000 troops, that is, the 100,000 army was divided when Egil handed over to his four marshals, was 4,000 heavy cavalry and eight,000 Hussars. As for the Norman Emperor's headquarters, the Norman Emperor's headquarters had only 1,000 heavy cavalry. The hussars in the Emperor's headquarters were twelve times this number!
Sure enough, the development direction of the world is elite light cavalry. It is more maneuverable and flexible, more versatile, and has stronger endurance. In addition, strong charge is even more indispensable.
On the tower, the emperor saw the galloping horses - a small number of knights could hardly be seen in the vast ocean of the Nou Hussars and the same light-mounted horse militia... At this point, the emperor had already made plans in his mind - to reform the system of the knight's troops after that. Reduce the weight and cover range of the knight's armor. Replace these heavy cavalry into standard lancers.
——One thousand heavy cavalry, 12 thousand Hussars, and...thirty thousand horse-riding militia and nomadic cavalry. Together, a total of 43,000 cavalry units were opened by the Normans, revealing the body of the heavy cavalry, the coalition forces on the opposite side were stunned for a moment. Such a chaotic formation and the morale that had been hit. In this case, the charge against the large number of enemy cavalry groups seemed so close to...
Hung Yati knew that if he did not do anything under this situation, the war would really end in failure!
"Cabinet, charge!" Hungaryat pulled out his sword and raised his teardrop-shaped shield decorated with the Virgin, the icon of Jesus and the angels. He pointed this shield at his soldiers, and then shouted to them: "Look, soldiers, we need not be afraid! Because our faith, the Virgin, the Son and the stars of the heavens are all by our side! We are the party of justice and the party of blessing from God. We will surely win!!!"
Under the clever persuasion of the "Emperor", his cavalry, whether it was his direct line, the Vadatari archers, the Serbian knights who surrendered to him, or the Hungarian light cavalry, were all inspired. They shouted loudly, and then under the leadership of Hungary, they charged at the Norman cavalry twice as many as them!
"The right choice." On the opposite side, Egil, holding a monocular telescope, nodded, secretly admiring his opponent's decision - in this case, the chaotic infantry unit could not be maintained. Infantry, which had lost morale and formation and was not equipped with the right one, would definitely not stop so many cavalry charges. At this time, the tactic of cavalry charge was the only effective way of dealing with it.
"'But it's still too much to take it for granted that the soldiers under your command are completely different from your trashed scum..." Egil chuckled and said such contemptuous words.
Indeed, the Hungarians, the former king of nomads, archers, combined the Roman techniques with the Hungarian elite warriors. The Serbian knights were also an elite force in the Balkans. But it was not enough. It was far from enough. It was far from enough. It was far from enough. If anyone could compare them with in Egil's army, there were only those informal Eastern European horse-riding militias.
No, in fact, Egil felt that they were not even as good as their own horse-riding militias. After all, their horse-riding militias and nomadic cavalry were all trained by reserves, and even semi-professional soldiers who had been on the battlefield and competed with the Mongols. Especially after the implementation of autumn training in recent years, the combat effectiveness of these reserve troops has increased a lot. They are completely comparable to that of professional troops in ordinary countries.
So, two cavalry units, one strong and the other weak, suddenly collided together. It was as if two torrents suddenly collided with each other. The weaker side was suddenly dispersed. It was as if the cavalry of Jali and Yugoslavia now. Their front row of knights and cavalry launched counterattacks under the cover of archers and cavalrymen. The result of the enemy was the composite bow of light archers and cavalrymen under the cover of hussar barrage, and the hussars and horse militias under the cover of hussars. The result was that the knights and hussars and horseback militias were defeated by Hungary and Slavs.
It was destroyed, destroyed, the front was torn apart, and all kinds of holes were forcibly cut. Then it was forced into the Norman Hussars and the Royal Knights. The screams of the cavalry and the whine of the war horses came one after another. However, on the battlefield, the loudest and loud voice was not the screams of these dying people. It was from the roar of the Normans!
"For the great Egier Scadra Grimson! For the Holy Norman Empire!!"
Similar roars were endless. The knights and Hussars repeatedly charged, playing the terrifying symphony called war with their spears, battle axes, sabers and armor-breaking hammers. Each cavalry can be regarded as a note, and all the Normans are powerful and supreme notes.
There is no suspense at this point in the war.
There are almost no strategies, no strategies. There is no calculation, no thinking, no command art. There is no no... It is just a very simple charge, a very simple tactic. Even a barbarian who doesn't know a big word can do the job - just say: "charge." The word "charge." Then you don't have to worry about it) The torrent of cavalry composed of Man's elite soldiers will automatically help him get everything done.
Seeing that the opponent's tens of thousands of troops were killed by his own army, most of them were killed by his own army. Egil found it interesting at the beginning, but when he thought about it, he felt a little bored. Later, Egil thought for a while, and then he realized that he could still issue such an order: "The whole army attacked."
...Okay, the boredom of this seems to be an enhanced version of the previous one. Hungary, which had been beaten to pieces, had no ability to resist after being attacked by the Norman infantry cluster again. The complete collapse of the army was fleeing in a panic, and finally succeeded in fleeing back to Budapest City. The remaining army was either captured, killed, or fled to some unknown place. And their "Emperor" Hungary died in the chaos.
The losses of the Norman army were less than a thousand people. Among them, more than 200 were killed (including non-combat reductions), and more than 500 were seriously injured and unable to recover. This was not a problem for the Norman Emperor, who had an army of 150,000. In other words, his army also had extremely strong combat power and could continue to fight.
In this way, this war ended with the Normans' victory. The Romanian Kingdom, which had just been established, perished. The Hungarian Kingdom, which had been passed down for a long time, was devastated.
Hung Yati, a man with the ambition of a hawk and falcon, finally did not escape the minions of the Nordic wolf king. Although the "emperor" had two sons, they were not adults. In such a war, they could never maintain the advantage of Hung Yati. In this way, the country established by this generation of heroes began to perish. It only set off a wave in the wave of history and disappeared immediately... (To be continued
