After leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the British reinforcements fled in disarray, but the soldiers in the city were not so lucky, and they were burned to death, to be blown up in oil, to be stoned, to be shot by bows and arrows, and in short, to death.

The second battle of Riga City came to an end, and although a powerful battering ram was dispatched, it was still defeated by Randy's intrigues, and fled in disarray after losing more than 2,000 men.

Władysław II was sad and anxious at the same time.

After two days of siege, there was no result except for the loss of troops and generals, thousands of casualties, more than 30,000 men and horses under his command, and the loss of less than a month, it seems that a forced attack is not a good way.

The casualties of these two days also caused the Normans to outnumber their own forces.

Władysław II couldn't think of any good countermeasures, so what should he do next? Is it to wait for reinforcements to arrive?

Władysław II finally understood a truth......

If you want to break Riga, it is absolutely impossible to rely on only 20,000 or 30,000 people in your hands, but as soon as the 50,000 horses and horses you have collected in the country arrive, then the 80,000 army will forcibly besiege Riga by virtue of the superiority of troops.

With this in mind, Władysław II sent messengers south again, urging reinforcements to go north as soon as possible.

As a result, in November, Władysław II received unfortunate news when the Normans opened the gates of the city in the night and sent out cavalry troops to harass the United Kingdom army.

The United Kingdom's reinforcements are gone!

Because the Teutonic Knights ......

Albresit, Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, took advantage of the war between the United Kingdom and the Norman Kingdom to silently and undeclare war.

The elite troops of the Eight Thousand Knights, divided into more than a dozen small units, went south, invading villages everywhere, attacking towns, and harassing the northern territories of the United Kingdom.

The territory of the Knights has more than doubled in an instant!

Combined with the surrender of the United Kingdom, the army also expanded to 15,000 men.

Albrecht was complacent, and prepared to cooperate with the Normans in the next step, and annihilated Władysław II's 30,000-strong army in Livonia, as soon as Władysław II died, the entire United Kingdom would fall apart, and then Poland and Lithuania would be the Order's meal.

Albrecht was naïve, but Randy did not cooperate with the idea of the Teutonic Knights to annihilate the United Kingdom army at all, and chose to sell his teammates again.

Władysław II was alarmed when he heard the news of the Teutonic Knights' advance, not that the Teutonic Knights' destructive power was too great, as if locusts were crossing the border, burning and looting and doing all kinds of evil, and the damage to the economy and agriculture was extremely serious.

Rather, the methods of the Teutonic Knights were extremely cruel, and the massacres of entire villages and even towns were completely done.

Władysław II was heartbroken, feeling that his kingdom was being ruined by a group of locust-like bastards, and his army was also terrified when he learned that the Teutonic Knights had attacked his homeland, Władysław II finally gritted his teeth and planned to order the entire army to retreat and return home to destroy the Teutonic Knights.

So on a dark and windy night, the whole army of the United Kingdom did not say goodbye.

The next day, Randy got the news, nodded his head to indicate that he knew, and then finished his breakfast slowly, and ordered, "Let's go to Vilnius!"

"You don't care about those guys anymore?" Artoria, who was eating with her head buried on the side, looked up and asked.

"Who?" Randy plays dumb.

"No one!" Artoria silently observed a second of silence for the Teutonic Knights, then buried her head in her head and continued to eat.

"I have calculated before, there is still a period of time after receiving Vilnius, you can go to the territory of the Teutonic Knights, take over Magdeburg, and then there is still plenty of time to go south, collect the corpses of the Knights, and by the way, take over the southern territory of the Knights, and teach the Poles and Lithuanians a lesson, so that the Livonia region can basically be stabilized, and then the territory and population will be expanded, why not?"

Artoria carefully calculated in her heart, if the speed of the march is fast enough, it can indeed achieve such an effect, after receiving these cities and territories, and then marching south, just in time for the United Kingdom to destroy the Knights' troops, but the enemy is wounded by a thousand, and the self-damage is 800, and the United Kingdom will definitely have losses after the destruction of the Knights.

"But what if the plans change? It's just your ideal outcome, what if you can't take Vilnius and Magdeburg? What if the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is not broken? In the worst-case scenario, what if the two of them join forces to deal with us? ”

Faced with Artoria's possibility, Randy replied directly, "Let's talk about it then." ”

"However, the Teutonic Knights are still allies with us, but unlike other military alliances, you have enough reasons to break the alliance, and it is natural to return to Vilnius, but what kind of reasons do you have to use to take back Magdeburg and occupy Prussia?"

"The Teutonic Knights are tyrannical and cruel to the people, so they are begging for it, how about it?" Randy said in extreme shamelessness.

"If this argument is true, then it can be used in all wars in Europe." Artoria looked a little frustrated.

——————————

It didn't take long for Randy to realize that he had made a mistake!

He miscalculated two things......

First, the heavy snow in winter is really powerful.

Second, the Teutonic Knights were really inadequate.

After a few days of sunny days, universities in Eastern Europe are once again in full swing.

This time, the Norman army was affected a lot, originally when Randy's command was still a Nordic warrior, the impact of winter on the Vikings was very small, or even almost none, but as Randy's territory became larger and larger, there were more and more ethnic groups under his command, and the advantage of this season became smaller and smaller.

The English, Celts, and French were not as resistant to winter as the Vikings, and in the severe snowy climate, the Norman army was severely weakened, but Randy was reluctant to leave behind these longbowmen and knights, and the army could only advance less than twenty kilometers a day in such a climate, which could be called a turtle's speed.

The physical principle of cold contraction and thermal expansion also made the bowstring of the longbowmen tight, with no elasticity at all, and it was easy to break, which also made the longbowmen lose most of their combat capabilities, and the long-range advantage of the Normans was further weakened.

As for the fact that the Teutonic Knights were the five scum of war, Randy really wronged them.

On November 5th, heavy snow ......

The Teutonic Knights' good days are almost over!

After recovering many Prussian homelands, the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania marched south and north with an army of 80,000 to join forces and fight the Teutonic Knights in a snowy field.

Because the location of this battle was in the Plock region of Poland, this battle is also known as the Battle of Plock.

The Teutonic Knights did their best to recruit all the troops they could muster and used all their savings to hire mercenaries, raising a total of 20,000 troops.

Among them, the Teutonic Elite Knights, the Teutonic Knights, the Teutonic Honorary Knights, the Teutonic Extra Knights, and the Teutonic Mercenary Knights, a total of 600 people, plus their knightly servants, the Teutonic Knights gathered a total of 1,500 hoplites.

In addition, the javelin cavalry of the Prussian vassal army, the heavy spearmen of the Knights, the elite swordsmen from the Order of Sword, the Livonian crossbowmen from the Livonian Order, armed with all-steel heavy crossbows, and the super-long pikemen from the Berghall region, wearing chain mail, all of them, were all the guards of the Teutonic Knights, and this time they were all taken out as if they were opening an exhibition.

The Teutonic Knights had to face an army of the United Kingdom from Poland, Lithuania, Livonia, Tatars, the Balkans, and a series of regions, attacking 80,000 people!

Among them, the king directly under the Polish Guard, Polish nobles from all over the country, Polish feudal knights, Polish hired knights, a total of 1,500 people, plus knights and servants, the Polish side has a total of more than 5,000 heavy cavalry!

In addition to this, Poland itself had ballistas, javelin cavalry, Lithuanian archers, Tatars, Serbian, Magyar, Cumans, and vassal hussars, also from the Prussian region, up to 20,000!

On the Baltic coast, tomahawkers armed with two-handed tomahawks and chainmailed tomahawks from Samokisia, crossbowmen from Latvia, hoplites from Estonia, and many more shield spearmen from Poles and Lithuanians.

In this battle, the essence of both sides was exhausted, and they tried their best, shouting and killing to the sky, and the birds and beasts disappeared within ten miles around.

However, the final result was already predicted.

Where exactly did the rout of the Order begin?

Was it the Knights' wedge formation that failed to crush the thick central shield spearmen of the United Kingdom as expected?

Or a large number of lightly armed cavalry, rounding the sides of the knights to attack?

Or was it the Knights who were charged by the heavy cavalry of the United Kingdom?

Albrecht killed? The Livonian crossbowmen on the flanks were the first to collapse?

In short, under the premise that the comparison of strength is obvious and the commanders of the two sides are not idiots, the Teutonic Knights ...... Defeated!

Władysław II, in retaliation for the banditry of the Teutonic Knights in the northern part of the United Kingdom, issued a decree outlawing the Teutonic Knights, and beheaded all members of the Self-proclaimed Teutonic Order, or those wearing black crosses on a white background.

But there's one more problem here, and that's Randy!

Randy von Hoffmann, after learning of the complete destruction of his allies, changed his name to a very nice sound......

Assist the Teutonic Knights in defending their own domains, take over the entire Teutonic Knights' territory, all lands and castles, including Magdeburg, and write to Władysław II:

"Brother and Teutonic knights fought in Poland a few days ago, according to people, at that time, the army of 100,000, the shouts shook the sky, the brother was leisurely fascinated, hated to participate in it. Do you have any regrets? However, it was not impossible to do this, although the Teutonic knight had no form, he made an alliance with his brother, and God is above, and the covenant must be observed. A few days ago, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights was defeated and died, the essence of the Knights was gone, and the women and children and orphans had no one to support, so wouldn't my brother be ashamed? May my brother receive the gospel of God as soon as possible, stop fighting as a martial artist, and forge a sword as a plowshare, if not, my brother will not be able to hand over 300,000 Norman royal teachers and hunt in Magdeburg with the brother......"

“………………”

After receiving Randy's handwritten letter, Władysław II overturned the table again.

"What covenant must be kept! Lao Tzu signed a covenant with you from the beginning, but did you have the slightest intention of signing it? God repents? Fools? You have done more murder than me, and you only have 30,000 soldiers and horses in your hands, where did you get 300,000? ”

Władysław II took Randy's persuasion as air, and continued to order, and began to gather 30,000 soldiers to return to the country to recuperate, and then redeploy and hire a new batch of troops, preparing to gather enough 100,000 troops to march to Magdeburg, completely eliminate the remnants of the Teutonic Knights, and teach the damned Vikings a memorable lesson.

War is still the mainstream in Europe, there is no possibility of peace, and the whole of Eastern Europe is full of wolves.

But Randy's territory has unknowingly expanded a lot again, including the entire Livonia region and half of Prussia, and the remnants of the Teutonic Knights who escaped back by luck dare not speak out in the face of such doves occupying the crane's nest, after all, they now have to rely on the Normans to help them resist the ferocious Poles, and even some Teutonic knights began to privately discuss whether they can nominate Randy as the new Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, so that it is not impossible for the two to merge into one.

At this moment, it is the middle of winter, Randy calculates that he only has a little more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it is enough to trap Magdeburg, but if you want to fight a decisive battle, it is impossible to even defeat the Poles, plus the circle of the Baltic coast, Randy can basically offend them, and now in addition to the Norman headquarters, he can barely be regarded as his own people, but the remnants of the two or three thousand Teutonic Knights are defeated, which is useless at all, plus Magdeburg is deep inland, and the tactics of using naval blockade and raid are also unlikely, so ......

Randy relentlessly and issued a second conscription order!

The 5,000 mercenary spearmen recruited earlier, and an additional 2,000 Livonian garrison legions, together with the original Livonian garrison legions, made up 5,000 men, recruited 10,000 Celts from the Celtic region, 10,000 Vikings from Scandinavia, 15,000 Englishmen from England, and 2,000 French from the Duchy of Normandy.

These troops, as well as the nobles, had to arrive at the designated coastal docks within a month, and then transport them to the Prussian region by the Norman navy.

Make no mistake!

Violators will be killed!

Yang Feng Yin violator beheaded!

Intentional saboteur slash!

Those who are full of complaints are killed!

Randy hired 5,000 troops, recruited 5,000 troops, conscripted 27,000 troops, and mobilized a total of 37,000 troops from his own territory, plus the original more than 30,000 professional troops in his hands, the first general mobilization of the Norman kingdom, with a small impact on economic and agricultural development, a total of nearly 70,000 troops.

Because of the extremely high proportion of elite professional troops in this army, the actual combat strength is not much different from the 100,000 troops of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania.

A big war that will decide the fate of the Baltic coast is about to begin.

One of the two warring parties is the United Kingdom of Poland, Lithuania, a traditional Eastern European power that ranks among the top three in continental Europe.

One of them is the Norman Kingdom, a new power that has sprung up in recent years, conquering everywhere with terrorist force and creating a huge territorial foundation.

Both sides have a large population and a very strong source of troops.

A brave and well-trained one.

In the end, it is still unknown who will kill the deer.
