Chapter 310: The War Bishop's Counterattack

In Wackering. Morality. Under Winchester's command, everyone began to shoot with all their might, longbow arrows, crossbow arrows, ordinary bows and arrows, and powerful bed crossbow ballistas invariably rushed towards the enemy's broken formation.

The soldiers of the Central Route Army, who were shocked by the tremendous power of the counterweight trebuchet, were swept away by a storm of arrows and crossbow arrows, and they were either strung into sugar gourds by thick crossbow guns, or they were killed or incapacitated by arrows and crossbow arrows, and in a moment the Central Army suffered huge casualties.

Before he even touched the enemy, he was taught a lesson by the opponent's long-range firepower, causing heavy losses and disgrace, and anyone would be upset, and the War Bishop Schwyzwool was the most angry of them.

"What are the archers and crossbowmen at the front doing? Why not give the infantry fire cover, counterattack, quickly give me a counterattack. Cardinal Schwyzwüf roared at the bishops and nobles around him.

None of the people present dared to disobey Cardinal Schwyzwof's orders, and no one was willing to defend anything, for fear that Cardinal Schwyzww's wrath would be directed upon him.

"Whew... "Cardinal Schwyzwüfw took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and ordered: "Landorf. Advance. Capua, you lead all the church knights to detour to the left flank of the enemy's army, where the enemy army is mostly mercenaries and the weak point of defense, you must quickly defeat them, and cooperate with the middle army to defeat the Norman Chinese army and capture Caesar in one fell swoop. ”

"On your orders, Cardinal Schwyzwüf." Randolph. Advance. Baron Capua bowed down to receive the order.

"Count Orvieto, you are the military governor of my Holy See's vassal state, you quickly lead your headquarters to support the middle army and take over its command, you two must work together to defeat the Normans." Cardinal Schwyzwüff turned to another nobleman in helmet and commanded.

"Yes, Cardinal Schwyzwöf."

The Count of Orvieto is named Zuckerberg. Orsini, an outstanding Italian general, was also the military governor of the vassal states of the Holy See, and enjoyed a high position in the army.

Of course, the status of the Earl Zuckerberg is still inferior to that of Cardinal Schwyzwlw, and the Bishop is trusted by His Majesty the Pope, so he must obey Cardinal Schwyzwüf's orders in any case.

After the two of them were ordered to leave, Cardinal Schwyzwüf gave another order: "Commander Eduardo, you are the general of the left flank of our army, and I want you to lead the 3,750 people of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment of the headquarters and the rest of the left flank troops, totaling more than 6,000 people, to launch a fierce attack on the right flank of the Normans opposite you, and attract their attention.

After this battle, how about doubling the cost of hiring? The loot can also give you an extra portion. ”

Commander Eduardo just heard the character that Cardinal Schwyzwuf had arranged for him, and he refused in his heart, as the largest mercenary group in Italy, the Starlight Mercenary Group, this is his biggest capital, and he can't throw it lightly.

However, when he heard that the cost of hire and the spoils of war could be doubled, he was moved and hurriedly agreed: "I promise to do as you tell me to draw the attention of the Normans." ”

"The Holy See will not forget you and your Starlight mercenary group, and if we defeat the Normans, the Holy See may reward you with titles and territories." Cardinal Schwyzwüf promised.

"Cardinal Schwyzwlf, what you say is what the Holy See means, and I am confident that you will deliver on your promise." Captain Eduardo said respectfully.

"Go ahead!"

Cardinal Schwyzwüf nodded in response, and after waving Commander Eduardo to step down, he turned his head and continued to observe the battlefield, his frown still not relaxed.

Under the command of Cardinal Schwyzwüf, the entire Papal Army launched a fierce attack that temporarily left the Normans at a loss.

The Church Knights led by Baron Landorff, who was the first to attack, more than 2,500 Church Knights with strong combat effectiveness rushed to the left flank of the Normans with indomitable knights.

The thunder of tens of thousands of horses' hooves on the ground and the billowing smoke they raised made the Italian mercenary group on the left flank a little frightened, they cowered and trembled, and some even shrunk their bodies in their shields, not daring to look up.

Rather, Richard. Morality. Hengu and Mephistopheles. The two barons of Sauron and the Normans under their command were not afraid of this, and they bravely stood up and prepared for battle.

"If anyone doesn't have the courage to fight this battle, leave him behind, and we will give him a pass and put the necessary travel expenses in his purse.

We don't want to die with such a person, he is afraid to die with all of us.

We are a team of brothers, all brothers from Italy and Lombardy, and today he is bleeding with me, he is my good brother. "Morris. Welftzer stepped forward immediately, using sincere words to boost the morale of the Italian mercenary group under his command.

The members of the Italian mercenary group present were killed by Maurice. Welf bowed his head in shame, they really wanted to leave behind their brothers, fellow countrymen, and comrades-in-arms and only the idea of running away, at this time they only felt that they were too cowardly, and they were ashamed of their thoughts.

"This battlefield beneath your feet today has promised me such a glorious victory. Don't let me be discouraged by the passing of victory, but bring the head of the enemy's commander to me! Fill your purse bags with the riches of your enemies and decorate your chests with their skeletons! May God be with you! I'm Morris. Welf is with you! I myself will shoot at the enemy first. If anyone dares to wait and see while Attila fights, he will be the first to lose his life! "Morris. Welf held his sword aloft, galloped back and forth in front of the army, and spoke a pre-battle speech in stirring words.

Maurice succeeded, he succeeded in bringing Courage back to the Italian mercenary group, giving the Italian and Lombard mercenaries the courage to take up their swords and fight the enemy to the death.

"The battle has begun, the spearmen and shieldmen have stepped forward and spread out the phalanx! The Lombard sword and shield men stand in the front row and raise their shields, Genoese, take your crossbows and shoot around the phalanx, shooting the slow-losing cavalry with their crossbow arrows! "Maurice skillfully commanded his mercenaries and began to set up a defensive formation against the cavalry.

Richard who led the Norman knights and army. Morality. Hengu and Mephistopheles. Sauron vs. Morris. Welf's performance was particularly impressive, they had long since stopped expecting the performance of the Italian mercenary group, but now it seemed that they still underestimated Morris's ability.
