The once peaceful village was immediately turned into a human purgatory, and a large number of villagers were slaughtered, and the soldiers laughed wildly and chased after the villagers, smashing the fences on their horses, plundering their food and valuable goods, and then burning them to the ground!

"Hahaha...... This is like words, this is right, what do you want to persuade to surrender? How good it is to kill them all, the whole world is ours Normans, long live Randy von Hoffmann! ”

The hussar officer laughed wildly, poured the stolen liquor, and threw what he could not drink into the still burning house.

"Randy von Hoffmann!" Watching the atrocities of the Norman army, the little child hiding in the bushes not far away, lying motionless in his mother's arms, uncontrollably shedding tears, silently repeating the name, and vowing that when he grew up, he would make this tyrant pay.

But soon the child's dream came to an end, and the cavalry officer soon noticed something strange in the grass, and came up and slashed it with his knife, cutting the boy's mother's head in half like a watermelon.

"Mom!"

Seeing his loved ones die tragically in front of him, the boy cried and fainted, but the cavalry officer did not let him go at all, and mercilessly slashed down with his sword, cutting down the grass and roots.

The whole village was slaughtered, and everyone, men, women, and children, was beheaded, laid out in the landscape, and the corpses were burned in the fire, and the cavalry ran to another village.

In fact, the number of these brain-dead villages and residents is not large, of course, there are not a lot, the so-called cutting of grass and roots, it is not really possible to clean up, there will always be some lucky remnants to live, of course, this sum of blood debt is also recorded on Randy's head, although he is completely unaware of these things, but because this is his empire, his army, so it is equivalent to what he did.

But Randy doesn't care about this, and he doesn't care, there are too many people in this world who want him to die, and there are too many people who have enemies with him, he only killed the entire Duke of Swabian family a few months ago, Henry is afraid that he has the heart to eat Randy alive, but so what? Randy is not living a good life, living a very nourishing life, drinking lemon juice every day, hugging his young daughter, and commanding an army of 100,000 to continue to create hatred, but whether he will go to heaven or hell after he dies is difficult to say, maybe hell also needs such talents, maybe it is not possible!

The Norman army burned and plundered all the way, advancing towards Vilnius as if no one was around, and the few noble castles that were still loyal to Lithuania were bombarded by counterweight catapults, and washed by Norman longbowmen with a rain of arrows, and finally the assault infantry who rushed in could not even find a decent person to cut down.

Randy, with a pure bullying attitude, backed by the huge military production capacity of the entire empire, is conducting inhumane and unequal operations in Eastern Europe, as he said before, all those who resist have been slaughtered, anyway, the army itself is not something to do good, especially a fighting race like the Normans, even if they are idle and bored when they are fine, they may have to fight, let alone this time, after getting Randy's legal killing order.

In the end, the Lithuanians also learned to be obedient, and they were as docile as rabbits.

The Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas, was extremely depressed to find that the morale of the soldiers under his command was getting lower and lower, and even began to appear a lot of deserters, especially the tribesmen of the various tribes that Randy passed through along the way, many of them were taken care of by the elders of the clan, and they directly looked for opportunities to escape, and they ran in pairs by dozens or hundreds, of course, on the contrary, there were also some tribes that were slaughtered by the Normans, and the rest of the tribesmen chose to join Vytautas's army in order to take revenge, and Vytautas also took advantage of the situation to promote the atrocities of the Normans in the army.

"How can you have illusions about wolves and beasts? The Normans devour your land like locusts, tear at your relatives like hungry wolves, and you want to join them, soldiers, come to your senses, the more we have to unite, unite all Lithuanians, all Estonians, all Latvians, all the people oppressed by the Norman Empire, rebel against that tyrant, rebel against his tyranny, long live the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania! ”

Vytautas's hoarse roar boosted the morale of his troops a little, and the number of deserters decreased a little, but war is not just about morale.

The Norman army totaled 60,000 men, the armor was well-organized and well-organized, and Randy was a battle-hardened general!

And the Lithuanian army is only 30,000, the vast majority of them are temporary conscriptions, you don't have to think about anything, the organization is basically based on people, villages, tribes, and the commanders are also some unprofessional nobles, although Vitas has won several battles in Eastern Europe, but compared with the Randy who has fought thousands of miles and made great achievements, it is obvious that he has fallen into the next position, and who wins and who loses?

At this moment, Vitas has fallen into a dilemma, to be honest, he has seen through the strength of the Norman Empire in recent years, and he really doesn't want to fight with the Norman Empire, but if he doesn't confront the Norman Empire, he will sit back and watch the Norman Empire annex the whole of Eastern Europe, including the United Kingdom, and what should Lithuania do at that time? The damned one has to die, it's just the difference between dying early and dying late, of course, Vitas can also choose to bow his head and ask for surrender, and serve Randy as the king, but this is more uncomfortable for an ambitious person than killing him.

If it is the Holy Roman Empire or the Kingdom of France, this kind of country with low monarchy will be counted, and there may be a day when there will be a comeback, but the Norman Empire is different, surrendering to the Norman Empire means that its road to hegemony ends here, and it will definitely be constrained by the Norman Empire in the future, and its power will become smaller and smaller.

So in that case, let's give it a go!

Anyway, Eastern Europe wants to rebel against Randy's forces, and he is not the only one, the mountains and rivers on the vast prairie, countless races and tribes, and countless heroes and heroes will not get used to that emperor.

Vytautas cheered himself up and sent a large number of Rangers into squads, hoping to harass the Normans with ranger tactics.

But Lithuania had light cavalry, and the Norman Empire also had it, and it was more ruthless than them, and the people and forces were basically not on Vytautas's side.

In terms of geography, Norman spies run around, drawing maps to describe the terrain, Randy has Enides's system map, three-dimensional sand table is a cheat, when it comes to familiar terrain, the Norman hussars are no stranger than the Lithuanians, and neither is the geographical advantage of Vytautas.

As for the time of day......

Is there anyone in this plane who has a more destiny than Randy? No!

The time and place are favorable, Vytautas does not occupy the same situation, the Lithuanian cavalry suffered so much in the battle with the Norman hussars that they can no longer suffer losses, the modern hussars abuse the primitive archers are simply captured, and all kinds of 10:1 battle losses are more than battles, so that Vytautas is depressed and wants to hit the wall, in the few Lithuanian cavalry who were able to escape the description, the Norman cavalry is as terrible as the devil of hell!

"There were so many of them that they were extremely neat, and these men charged like a wall, and the archers followed them, and their bows and arrows came out from behind them, and their bows and arrows were better than ours, and although they were at a greater distance, they still had an advantage in shooting at each other."

"The enemy's formation is quite dense, like magic, they won't collide together, they must have been very rigorously trained, so they can do this, but we can't, our formation is loose, the distance between the cavalry is too large, when they are in a dense formation in close combat, they can deal with two or three, or even four people against me, and they cooperate quite well, even the most powerful of us, the warriors who can deal with several people at the same time, will not have an advantage when dealing with them."

As he spoke, the fleeing Lithuanian cavalryman's face contorted, as if he had been extremely frightened, and at the same time began to seriously recall the battle of that day.

It was a sunny afternoon, and he had his companions from the same tribe, and the cavalry of several other neighboring tribes, numbering about two hundred, and rode along with a few of the chieftains, ready to find an opportunity to teach the Normans a lesson.

At that time, he and a few other young men were laughing, men, especially men of this age, the basic conversation, that is, with whose daughter is beautiful, who is the widow of whom, whose daughter is married to whom, it is really terrible, like this, everyone said that they laughed, and then they were very happy and sad.

They were surprised that a small group of Norman cavalry, which together numbered no more than fifty Norman cavalry, rushed straight at them.

"Are these Normans crazy? We have many times as many as them! ”

Although they were so confused in their hearts, they were still very excited and happy, the number of the other party was not as large as their own, and it was supposed that they would win, and one head could be exchanged for two gold coins, and they would return to their own tribe, and they would have the capital to brag.

"Kill them all!" Seeing the enemy rushing towards him, several leaders nodded to each other and gave orders for battle.

The Lithuanian cavalry rushed towards the opposite side with their bows and arrows, brandishing scimitars and roaring wildly, and several Lithuanians whose tribes were slaughtered by the Normans showed the most excitement, their faces were red, their eyes were red, and they shouted the loudest and rushed to the front, and died the fastest.

Within sixty paces, the opponent's archers actually attacked.

The archers in the back two rows fired arrows directly, and under the bewildered eyes of the Lithuanians, several Lithuanian cavalrymen in the front row, who were eager for revenge, were shot off their horses, and then opened their bows again, and the horses of both sides staggered before four consecutive volleys, killing at least thirty Lithuanian cavalrymen.

The Lithuanians were not to be outdone, the Lithuanian cavalry equipped with light compound bows, after entering the firing range, immediately launched a counterattack, but the arrows they shot were blocked by the hussars with the front armor and shields held high, their greased leather armor was tough and slippery, the Lithuanian bows and arrows were almost all bounced off, only a few were slightly wounded, and almost no one of the Normans died in this round.

30:1！ How can this work!

The eyes of the Lithuanians were red, and they rushed directly to the hussars in the front row, but as I said before, the spacing of the hussars was very small, and the overall appearance was more like an angular phalanx, and in the hand-to-hand combat phase, as the deserter said, although the Lithuanians were much more powerful than the Normans, they could not use their strength, on the contrary, the hussars in a tight formation could achieve numerical superiority in a small area, and under the dense formation, each Lithuanian had to face several quick knives.

Steel and iron, although lined up together, are not really the same thing.

The iron scimitars in the hands of those Lithuanian cavalry in the eyes of the Norman hussars, it is almost like garbage, the hussars hold a sophisticated scimitar made of steel-clad technology in their hands, and they can even cut off the opponent's weapons when the weapons of both sides are handed over, but the opponent's scimitar can not hurt them at all, for a time the whole battlefield is full of people, but they are all Lithuanians who died in battle, the hussars have almost no casualties, after a round the formation of the Lithuanians was pierced, the Normans still maintained their phalanx, without any hesitation to rest, Directly turn the horse's head and kill again.

The Lithuanians collapsed, they had never seen such cavalry, they had never seen such a way of fighting, the hussar intensive charge tactics, both in terms of actual power and deterrence, were beyond imagination, and after a single piercing, the Lithuanians suffered at least 1/3 casualties.

"They are the devil! If we continue to fight, we will definitely die. ”

"It's not just me who thinks so, all the brothers present think so, so we ran away, and these people fought, no matter how many lives are not enough to pay, my luck is good, so I escaped back, but the luck of the others is not so good, most of the compatriots were caught and killed by them, their war horses are also faster than us, obviously equipped with heavy armor, but their war horses still run faster than us, and at night I and a few people who escaped by luck ran back to see."

"Oh my God! The whole battlefield was full of headless corpses, and the demons piled all the heads of all the people there, piled them up in a pile, and made fires, barbecued meat, drank wine, and laughed loudly next to the piles of heads, and the scene was like hell, and we were so frightened that we ran back and never dared to go back. ”

In the description of the Lithuanians, Randy's melee hussars are quite a bit of the posture of the Cromwell Iron Cavalry in another world, of course, in fact, it is still far behind, Randy will know a little about strategy and tactics, although he knows the benefits of maintaining discipline and collective charge, but he does not deliberately train the coordination of cavalry charges, but the Lithuanians are rare and strange, and the rout deliberately exaggerates the combat effectiveness of the hussars a lot in order to cover up their incompetence, so it is exaggerated.

But it was enough, 10:1, and even higher, and the appearance of the rout, the slightly exaggerated description, was enough to make the Lithuanians fearful, and occasionally there were unbelieving fellows, who rode fast horses in twos and threes, carried bows and knives on their backs, and fought the Normans, only to be either wiped out or reduced to a landscape, and came back as if fleeing for their lives, becoming the same as those who had done before.

The reason why the Lithuanians dared to fight with the Normans was to rely on the elite light cavalry, believing that their light cavalry was invincible in the world, although the opponent's army was numerous, but under the harassment of the light cavalry, it would inevitably be embarrassed, and when the time came, when the morale of the enemy army declined, their own army was swarmed and the battle was decided!

But the reality is ...... Their light cavalry tactics were completely ineffective, suffering heavy losses and demoralizing, while the enemy was getting closer to their own side little by little.

Now it was the turn of the Normans to harass the Lithuanians......
