Randy felt excited, agitated and even scared.

But Randy never thought he was going to lose!

In recent times, Randy has been in a state of happiness and distress, and at the same time fantasizing about the glory of the future war if he wins, and he is getting closer and closer to the throne of the Norman Emperor.

But if the war is lost, what kind of change will it make?

In the midst of this delusion, Randy vaguely agreed to the defection of the Teutonic Knights, merging the remnants of the Teutonic Knights with his own National Knights and changing its name to the Royal Norman Order.

A total of eighty-five Teutonic knights swore allegiance to Randy and received a full set of Norman elite knights' equipment, including plate chain composite armor, overcoats, helmets, mounted spears, and knightly medals with swords and shields.

After that, Randy's claim to Prussia became justified.

Equally excited, agitated, and frightened was Władysław II.

As Randy thought, it was almost impossible for him to lose.

He has a total of 100,000 troops under his command, which is much more than the other party, and he also has a home field advantage, so he doesn't need to use ships to transport logistics supplies like the other party, and the most important thing is that his ability is stronger than Randy, and it is much stronger.

Although Władysław II was only a high-ranking commander with a seven-star command and an eight-star brutality, it has to be said that he really felt very good about himself.

In comparison, Randy is much more indifferent.

In the previous pleasant battle for the defense of Riga City, Randy added another attribute of a qualified defender.

+1 Dominance of the Defenders......

And the act of obtaining the surrender of the Teutonic Knights and forming the Royal Knights gave Randy the attributes of a Norman Royal Knights Grand Master.

The ability to command +1, cavalry command +1, and command cavalry has been further strengthened. Plus excellent cavalry generals, that is, +3 cavalry domination, excellent generals, natural generals, shameless commanders, so superimposed, the base is 6 points, the command of infantry is 7 points, the command of cavalry is 9 points, the night battle is 10 points, the defense of the night battle is 11 points, the defense of the night battle is 12 points.

Randy's prestige stats have also changed a lot......

The previous title of earl became King of Norway, then King of Norman,

prestige +3, personal security +5,

Perhaps because of the recent proclamation of many decrees and the snatching of judicial power from the aristocracy, Randy has gained the attributes of a legislator.

prestige +1, management +1,

One big victory has also become several big victories, the attribute enhances prestige +2, plus Artoria's bonus, Randy's prestige instantly becomes 12 points, and there is already some royal prestige.

And the piety attribute was joined by the Teutonic Knights, and received the title of a martial artist.

+1 Piety on the Surface, -1 Piety on the Inside,

This makes Randy's piety value directly become a quasi-saint at nine, and the absolute heresy of Eleven is involved in his heart.

Management attributes, although Artoria has dragged on a little, have also grown.

+1 for legislators, +1 for strengthening centralization, this is the eight-point management, which is also more than the vast majority of feudal rulers, and Randy feels that even if he is added to the title of the Great Emperor now, it is not a big deal.

The last attribute, which is also the attribute that Randy finds most strange and shameless, is increased by two points because of the torture of prisoners of war, and at the same time, the betrayer has also evolved into two sides and three swords, and the shameless attribute has reached six points.

This is the improvement of Randy's attributes in the recent period, it looks quite gorgeous, dozens of stars are hung on the character attribute bar, which looks dizzying, and this is also the reason why Randy is confident that he can defeat the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania.

The two sides gathered a total of 170,000 troops, although it is not a sea of people, but looking at this era, it is a big event that is enough to sensational the world, last year the Eastern Romans destroyed Bulgaria, before and after only 50,000 troops, so this large-scale battle, can be said to be the largest in recent years, extreme eyeballs.

It took several months for the two sides to gather their forces alone, but of course, in the end, it was Randy who took advantage of it, and united the whole of England, and the road network all over Norway showed its power at this moment, and the ballista battleships with paddle pedals were not slow, and it only took a month and a half to complete the assembly.

Maybe it's because of the interest in participating in the banquet before, or because Randy has been building the country for so long and only mobilized the nobles to participate in the war for the first time, and the nobles everywhere want to show their faces in front of the king, and they are very face-saving to cooperate with this mobilization.

In this way, there are one hundred more noble knights, three hundred feudal knights, one hundred ranger knights, and one thousand two hundred knights under Randy's command, a total of more than 1,700 heavy cavalry, plus Randy's own 2,600 heavy cavalry, Randy's heavy knights have reached 4,300 people, and most of them are genuine knights, and their combat effectiveness is extremely amazing.

In addition, the number of Viking warriors under Randy's command, including the Livonian garrison and the Vikings temporarily recruited from Scandinavia, also exceeded 20,000, and the ranged troops, including some longbowmen temporarily recruited from England, and hunter archers recruited from all over the country, also exceeded 12,000.

And the heavily armed spearmen, including the mercenary spearmen who had long been ready, also had about seven thousand.

10,000 Celtics, Randy didn't even think about it, and pushed it directly to his wife.

In this way, it is really a mud leg attribute, and the conscripted spearmen who came out of the field are only fifteen or seven thousand.

It seems that this phenomenon that there are more regular troops than temporary conscripts is rare in Europe at the same time.

On the contrary, looking at Poland, in addition to the Polish Guards directly under the five hundred royal families, and the three thousand foot Janissaries of the United Kingdom, there are very few professional troops, although the hoplites have reached a terrifying number of eight thousand horsemen, but most of them are knights with weak combat effectiveness, Polish knights, feudal knights, and hired ranger knights add up to only two thousand, and the professional troops, including the personal guards of the nobles from all over the country, are only one or two thousand.

However, Poland also has its advantages, which is the number of terror cavalry in Poland.

There are many Polish nobles who retain cavalry tactics, refusing to become heavy charge cavalry, but choosing heavy javelin cavalry as a career choice, although less than the impact of knights, but the lethality of heavy javelins is also not small, coupled with excellent chain mail and saber shields, so that these people are not inferior in melee hand-to-hand combat.

In addition, the number of nomadic light cavalry recruited from various nomadic tribes in the Great Plains of Eastern Europe has also reached 20,000, and at the same time, these peoples who are born on horseback are all excellent light cavalry, which is also a point of pride of the United Kingdom.

Among the 100,000 troops, there were nearly 30,000 cavalry.

Poland's conscription troops, there are many not as simple as ordinary contradictory hands, the long-handled axe soldiers recruited from the Black Forest on the Baltic Sea coast, although the combat effectiveness is much weaker than the decisive assault soldiers under the command of Randy, but the weapons and two-handed axes are very powerful, there is no doubt about this, these cheap people are obviously barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and they will be very worthless to consume the main force wearing heavy armor.

In addition, Latvian crossbowmen from other parts of the Baltic Sea, Estonian heavy spearmen, etc., are also very combat-ready fighters, if the Poles really gather this huge army, all together, then even if Randy wins, it will only be a miserable victory, maybe it will be a wedding dress for any country on the European continent!

Early 1102 A.D. ......

The biggest news is not the never-ending civil war of the Holy Roman Empire,

Nor was it that the Eastern Roman Empire once again forced the Papal States to merge the two major sects of the East and the West.

Not to mention Sid, the legendary hero who rose in Iberia, who led the Iberian Five-Power Alliance to defeat another invasion of the Eastern Roman legions.

And in Eastern Europe......

A big battle on an unprecedented scale is about to begin!

If the warring sides are finally mobilized, the battle will be the largest in recent years.

But Randy obviously didn't want to wait until the other party was mobilized, at this time the United Kingdom army gathered in Poland had reached 60,000, and it was still increasing, Randy didn't want to wait any longer, every day of waiting, the opponent's strength would increase by one point, after weighing the pros and cons, Randy decisively made such an arrangement.

Baron Alpha was sent as the temporary military governor of the Livonian region, with a garrison of 5,000 Livonians, and 5,000 levies, including 500 heavy cavalry, to patrol and sweep the southern part of Livonia currently controlled by Poland, and to prevent the Latvians and Estonians from joining the Poles.

Artoria was ordered to lead the Celts in his headquarters, as well as 5000 levies including 500 hoplites, to sweep through the entire northern part of Poland and kill all the armies that were ready to join the United Kingdom.

Randy personally led 45,000 main forces south and attacked Warsaw, the capital of Poland, to start a decisive battle with the main force of the United Kingdom.

Randy cut off all the reinforcements in the north of the other side, and instantly cut off most of the sources of troops that the United Kingdom could mobilize, so that the gap between the main forces of the two sides was further narrowed, and Randy's headquarters, which concentrated a large number of elite troops, could even suppress Wladyslaw II, because the restriction on the southward movement of the Baltic coast troops also further reduced the combat effectiveness of the other side.

If conditions permit, Randy hopes to completely * the United Kingdom, a huge monster with a land area spanning two seas, in this war, let Lithuania completely independent, and divide the two steppe countries, Ukraine and Belarus, let the Tatars and Rus's people completely split, and then establish Romania in the south, this is Randy's strategic plan.

As long as Poland can be weakened to this extent, the whole of Europe will fall into a civil war, and then Randy can manage the Baltic Sea with peace of mind, until the day when he is full-fledged, Eastern Europe will basically be beaten to pieces, and he will not have to worry about indigestion when he swallows it again.

As a result, Randy is full of fighting spirit and decides to justify his hegemony in the Baltic Sea, his dominance in Eastern Europe, and his future hegemony with an indisputable victory.

Date: February 28, 1102 A.D.......

Location: In the central region of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, only 150 kilometers from Warsaw, the capital of Poland, the two armies met on a narrow road.

In the five days before this, Władysław II saw that there was no call from the northern army, and immediately understood that something was wrong, so he did not hesitate to leave Warsaw and take the initiative to attack, during which he would once again arm a small number of nobles, so that the number of Władysław II's army swelled to more than 65,000.

A big war began......

This battle was a little different from the previous ones Randy had experienced, starting at midnight, when Randy had a whim and ordered the elite knight troops to start the joint camp.

It was already afternoon, the sun was about to set, and after a battle between the rangers of the two sides, the Norman patrol cavalry was very sad to be abused by the other side, and then the two sides camped ten miles apart, preparing to continue the battle after tomorrow.

Randy had a whim, he fought for more than two years after his resurrection, and it seems that he hasn't played the night raid battle yet, which has to be said to be a pity, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better to play it today.

Although he has the bonuses of night battles, excellent cavalry generals, and grand masters of the knights, Randy doesn't want to go because of the high danger of this battle plan.

But in the end, Randy still went, when the noble knights everywhere looked at him with excitement on their faces, Randy suddenly understood what it meant to catch ducks on the shelves, and those under Randy's command who had long been accustomed to the commander not going into battle to kill the enemy, but just commanded on the spot, unlike the professional soldiers under Randy, the nobles everywhere still stayed in the era of individual heroism, whether it was a noble knight, a feudal knight, or a ranger knight, or a hired Frankish knight, and the attribute bar could charge without authorization.

So Randy is the person...... Extreme vanity!

No, no, no, that's not the point, the point is that if you back down at this time, you will be looked down upon, and the nobles will definitely think that this king is nothing more than that, a coward and a waste.

In medieval Europe, except for the crippled and minors, there were really not many people who did not dare to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, even the Eastern Rome, which was known as the first power in the European continent, had to go into battle to kill the enemy in person.

But here Randy wants to complain, at that time, the 100,000 standing army of Eastern Rome actually needed to let the emperor personally go into battle to kill the enemy, and he was captured by the other party, which is really a cheat.

Randy shuddered as he remembered what had happened to the Eastern Roman Emperor, feeling a bad omen strike him.

Randy smiled awkwardly, finally reluctantly accepting the decision to personally lead the night attack.

But the problem came again, in order to show off in front of Randy and see if they could grab some loot back, they rushed to get there one by one, but Randy was a little reluctant.

Such a night attack, if you don't have enough confidence to be able to wipe out all the opponents, then the emphasis is on fleeing with one blow in guerrilla warfare, if it is a professional unit under his command, Randy can definitely lead the army to retreat.

But if it is this group of turtle nobles with a short eye of the mouse, it will be troublesome, they will grab people to fight for honor, they like to grab loot and make a windfall, it is easy to fight, but it is difficult to pull it out again.

But Randy suddenly thought of one thing, that is, what does it have to do with whether these nobles die or not?

It's better for these nobles to die, they can further strengthen their centralized power, and as for whether they can retreat after the fight, they can definitely retreat with their whole body, and the others Randy doesn't care.
