Egil found out that he had made a mistake - Egil felt a little regretful. When he was sitting in the lord's mansion in Vilnius, he could only strengthen the city defense again.

He miscalculated two points: First, the heavy snow in winter is really powerful.

Second, the trash of the Teutonic Knights are really not good.

After a few days of sunny days, heavy snow in Eastern Europe was once again blowing... This time, Egil's army was greatly affected. When Egil was originally all under Nordic soldiers, the snow in winter had basically had little impact on these Vikings, and it could even be said that there was almost no. However, when Egil's territory became larger and more ethnic groups under his command, the advantage of this season was further weakened.

The English, Celtic, and even French... These races are not as strong as those of the Vikings in winter. Therefore, in the snowy climate, Egil's Norman army was severely weakened. Egil was reluctant to abandon these strong longbow soldiers and knight troops. Therefore, the army could only travel less than twenty miles a day in such a climate. It can be called a snail speed. The physical principle of cold, shrinking, and heat-raising also made the longbow's bow string tightly and not elastic at all. It easily broke. This also caused the longbow soldiers to lose a lot of combat capabilities. The Norman's long-range advantage was further weakened.

The so-called Teutonic Knights are a slag, which is really a bit unfair to them.

On November 5, heavy snow. The good days of the Teutonic Knights were almost over. After regaining many Prussian old places, 80,000 troops from the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania went south and north to join forces. They fought against the Teutonic Knights in a patch of ice and snow. Because the location of the battle was in the Pvodsk region in Poland, this battle was also called the Pvodsk Battle.

The Teutonic Knights tried their best to summon all the troops that could be summoned. They ordered all the deposits to be mercenaries, and then all the civilians who could be forced to be summoned. A total of 20,000 troops were obtained! Among them, the Teutonic elite knights, Teutonic knights, Teutonic honorary knights, Teutonic extra-staff knights, the knights hired by Teutonic, and the knights who volunteered to help... In total, six hundred! In addition to their knight entourage, the Teutonic Knights gathered 1,500 cavalry this time!

In addition, the Prussian vassals, the Knights' heavy spearmen, the elite swordsmen from the Knights of the Swords, the Knights of the Knights of the Livornian, the Knights of the Livornian, the Livornian crossbows holding all-steel heavy crossbows, the Berghaal area, and the super-spray troops in chain armor... These one by one were all the soldiers of the Teutonic Knights' Order, and this time they were all taken out like an exhibition.

What the Teutonic Knights have to face is the army of the United Kingdom from the series of Poland-Lithuania-Livonia-Tattar-Balks. The Chinese king directly belongs to the Polish Guards, Polish aristocratic knights from all over the country, Polish feudal knights, and Poland hired knights, a total of 1,500 knights! In addition to the knight entourage, Poland has a total of more than 5,000 heavy cavalry!

In addition, Poland itself has crossbow cavalry, javes, Lithuanian archers, Tatars, Serbia, Magyar, Kuman and vassal light cavalry also from the Prussian region, which is as high as 20,000! On the Baltic coast, tomahawks with hands and chain armor, they are from Samokissia - there are crossbowmen from Latvia, heavy spearmen from Estonia... and more shield spearmen from Poles all over the mountains and fields.

In this battle, both sides showed their essence. They tried their best, and shouted and killed soared into the sky, and birds and beasts disappeared within ten miles of the surrounding area... However, the final result was already expected.

When did the Knights' defeat begin? Was the Knights' wedge formation failed to defeat the thick shield spearmen array in the central central of the United Kingdom as expected? Or was a large number of light-equipped cavalry around the sides of the Knights to launch an attack? Or was the Knights' charge by the heavy United Kingdom cavalry? Albresit was killed? The Flank Livornian crossbowmen collapsed first?

Well, in short, the difference in strength in this battle is obvious. Neither commander of both sides is an idiot. And in a battle where no miracle happened, the result is also obvious.

The Teutonic Knights were completely defeated.

In order to retaliate against the Knights' robbery in the north of the United Kingdom, Vadislaw II issued a decree declaring the Teutonic Knights as illegal. All those who claim to be members of the Teutonic Knights, or those who wear white and black cross costumes, were killed. At this moment, Vadislaw II had already regarded the entire Prussia region as his own pocket.

But - there is another problem here. It is Egil Egil Skadragrimson. After learning that his allies were completely destroyed and only a few knights escaped, he thought for a while and changed to a very nice name: assisting the Teutonic Knights to defend their territory. After that, he took over the entire Teutonic Knights' territory, including Magdeburg, and wrote a letter to Vadislaw II.

"I fought fiercely with the Teutonic Knights in Poland a few days ago. According to people, at that time, the army was 100,000, and shouted loudly. I was fascinated by the sky. I was so happy that I could not participate. However, I felt sorry for it. Although the Teutonic Knights were useless, they made an appointment with me to make a good agreement. God is above. The covenant is a matter that must be followed. Therefore, although I was helpless, I had to send troops to help as promised. A few days ago, the commander of the Teutonic Knights was defeated and died, and the essence of the knights was gone. Women, children, orphans were not supported. Wouldn't you be ashamed? I hope that my brother would receive the gospel of God as soon as possible, and to cast swords as plows... If not, even though I was not talented, I would be able to command 300,000 Norman King's army and hunt for Magdeburg with my brother..."

"...I'm cheating?!"

After receiving Ekir's handwritten letter, Vadislaw II overturned the table again: "Your sister's covenant must be observed! The labor and capital signed a covenant with you at the beginning, but you were so proud that you would have no intention of obeying it?! Catholic teachings?! Your sister! You are cheating fools?! You do more murder than me! You only have 30,000 soldiers on your hands, where did you get 300,000?! Is it too serious to eat empty salary?!"

In this way, Vadislaw directly regarded Egil's persuasion as soup rice, and then continued to order. The order was ordered to return to the country to rest and reconcile, and then re-schedule, convened and hired a new group of troops, preparing to gather a hundred thousand troops to march into Magdeburg, completely eliminate the remnants of the Teutonic Knights, and "give that damn Viking an unforgettable lesson."

In this way, war is still the mainstream, and peace still has no possibility of coming. The entire Eastern Europe is still full of smoke. However, Egil's territory has expanded a lot again, including the entire Livornia region and half of the Prussian region. The Teutonic Knights who escaped by chance dared not speak out in the face of such acts of occupying the nest - after all, now they have to rely on these Normans to help them resist the vicious Poles. Some Teutonic Knights even discussed privately to see if they could elect Egil as the leader of the Teutonic Knights. This way, the two companies combined ones are not bad...

It was the middle of winter at this moment. Egil calculated that there were only a little over 30,000 troops under his command, and it was enough to trap Magdeburg. However, it was unlikely to fight to defeat the Poles. In addition to the Baltic coast, Egil could offend basically - in addition to the Norman headquarters, he was barely considered his own people, but only two or three thousand defeated soldiers of the Knights. He was almost useless. In addition, Magdeburg was deeply in the inland area. It was unlikely to use naval blockade and raid tactics. In other words...

Insufficient troops.

So Egil was cruel and issued a second conscript order: the five thousand mercenary spearmen recruited before; two thousand Livornian garrisons were recruited. They gathered five thousand troops with the original Livornian garrisons; ten thousand Celtic troops were recruited from the Celtic area to participate in the war; ten thousand Vikings were recruited from the Scandinavia Peninsula to participate in the war; ten thousand Englishmen were recruited from England to join the war; two thousand Frenchmen were recruited from the Duke of Normandy to join the war. The above troops and nobles must reach the designated coastal dock within one month, and then transported to the Liprus through the Norman Kingdom Navy, and there must be no mistakes. Those who violate the order shall be killed; those who violate the order shall be killed; those who commit slander shall be killed; those who intend to destroy; those who are full of complaints shall be killed...

In this way, Egil hired 5,000 troops, recruited 5,000 troops, and recruited 27,000 troops. A total of 37,000 troops were mobilized from his territory. In addition, the original 30,000 professional troops in his hands, the Norman Kingdom mobilized the first general mobilization, and with a small impact on economic and agricultural development, a total of nearly 70,000 troops were dispatched. Because the proportion of elite professional troops in this army is extremely high, the actual combat power is almost the same as that of the 100,000 troops in the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania.

In this way, a war that determines the fate of the Baltic coast is about to begin. One of the two sides of the war is the traditional Eastern European power, and the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, which can rank among the top three in the continental region; the other is the Norman Kingdom, a new power that has emerged in recent years, conquered with terrifying force, and created a huge territorial foundation. One of the two sides is a large population, with a strong military base, and the other is a brave and strong man, and it is well-trained. It is still unknown who will win in the end...
