"These stupid iron cans are really tenacious, they can rush to the front of our army, and they also cause a small number of casualties, but unfortunately this kind of heavy cavalry should have been eliminated a long time ago, even if there are no firearms, I have more than three ways to destroy them!" Hu Yanping, who was in the army, held a telescope in his hand and spoke while looking at the situation on the battlefield.

Heavy cavalry was once popular in the Central Plains, for example, the most famous is Tang Taizong's Xuanjia Army, which once broke 100,000 with 3,000, creating a miracle in military history, but although the heavy cavalry is very sharp, the shortcomings are also very obvious, such as too much weight, the armor is expensive, the horsepower can not last, etc., so this branch of the army was quickly eliminated, although the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom also have some heavy cavalry, but in fact, these heavy cavalry have been improved, the armor is thinner than the real heavy cavalry, and the weight is much smaller, Later, with the prevalence of firearms, it caused the decline of heavy cavalry, and now the establishment of heavy cavalry is no longer retained in the Great Song Army.

According to his usual experience, as long as the heavy cavalry is launched, only the heavy cavalry can block them, but although there are a small number of cavalry in the Song army on the opposite side, there is absolutely no heavy cavalry, so he does not think that the Song army can block the charge of the heavy cavalry.

But the reality taught little Henry a bloody lesson, the more than 5,000 heavy cavalry under the Count of Suplin had not yet rushed to the front of the Song army, and they had already lost most of them, and even the Count of Suplin himself was killed, and in the end, although hundreds of heavy cavalry crashed into the shield in front of the Song army, these hundreds of people had been dispersed, and the speed was not fast, which also made them not a big threat to the Song army, and only brought some casualties to the front of the Song army. Then these heavy cavalry, who lost their speed, became the souls of the Song army, and after being killed, they threw their bodies one by one in front of the battle.

Heavy cavalry has always been the darling of European armies, but also the spiritual pillar of an army, generally in the early stage of the war, is the decisive battle of heavy cavalry, as long as the heavy cavalry decides the victory. Then the next war is almost a foregone conclusion, which is the main reason why the status of the knight class is so great.

But now the invincible hoplites on Little Henry's side have been completely wiped out without any cavalry on the other side, which has also dealt a serious blow to the army under Little Henry, and even after seeing the heavy cavalry being eliminated, the other armies that were charging slowly stopped and looked at Little Henry in panic.

It was the first time that little Henry had encountered such a situation, and even he himself was stunned by the endless new weapons in the Song army, and he didn't know what to do next.

As a veteran on the battlefield. Hu Yanqing naturally would not let go of this opportunity, with his order, the cavalry on both wings immediately killed, straight to Little Henry's Chinese army, and the other armies also followed, and when the cavalry did not arrive, the Song army flew out wave after wave of arrows, which was also the standard tactic of the Song army. When the two armies fought, the first to engage was definitely the crossbowmen of both sides. Unfortunately, the bows and arrows on the European side were very primitive, and the army was not even equipped with bows and arrows on a large scale, which also made them very panicked when they were shot by bows and arrows, and by the time they put up their shields, they had already suffered a lot of casualties.

It was only then that little Henry suddenly came to his senses. At the moment, he hurriedly asked people to prepare for defense, but unfortunately his army suddenly stopped by the charge, and the formation of the army was already scattered, coupled with the lack of fighting spirit, not many people were willing to obey his orders. As a result, the cavalry of the Song army was finally killed into the Chinese army, and for a time it was even more chaotic, although little Henry tried his best to save it, but unfortunately the army's morale was scattered, and it was not at all irretrievable by manpower.

"The victory is decided! Kill~" Hu Yanqing saw this, immediately roared excitedly, commanding the whole army to press, which finally caused the collapse of the whole line of Little Henry's army, and the 80,000 army was scattered by Hu Yanqing's less than 40,000 kills, Little Henry saw this situation, and he almost fell off the horse with a scream, but he was an extremely rational person, although he suffered a great blow, he did not lose his mind, so he quickly reacted, commanded the guards around him to protect him from the battlefield, and fled all the way to the north.

This battle took place in the Tswaben region of the Holy Roman Empire, so it was called the Battle of Tweibia, this battle Henry Jr.'s 80,000 army was defeated by less than forty percent of the Song army, thus establishing the status of Princess Agnes in one fell swoop, the only pity is that little Henry escaped from the battlefield, so that Hu Yanqing failed to pacify the civil strife of the Holy Roman Empire in one fell swoop, but it didn't have a big impact, and then Hu Yanqing led the army to advance layer by layer, devouring Little Henry's sphere of influence, and Little Henry organized several counterattacks, But they all ended in failure.

When the results of the battle of Davaben reached Rome, Agnes also jumped up happily, and then hugged Zhao Jia and kissed him fiercely, in order to vent his excitement, and although Zhao Jia had long known that he would win, he couldn't help but be very happy when he heard that Hu Yanqing had won so neatly, and immediately ordered someone to spread the news, and for a while the whole of Rome, as well as the southern part of the Holy Roman Empire, was discussing this matter, which also made Agnes' rule over these areas more stable.

Although the battle was won, there are still many things to follow, little Henry has not been completely wiped out, and is still resisting stubbornly in the north, so Huyanqing's army can't come back for a while, it is estimated that it will take a while to completely eliminate little Henry, and even if it is already under the rule of Agnes, there are still many places that are only nominally under the rule of Agnes, but in fact they are in the hands of princes and nobles everywhere, if you replace it with an ordinary Holy Roman Emperor, you may feel normal, But for Zhao Jia, this is the main reason for the instability of the empire, and he must change this situation and take most of the power into the hands of the emperor.

However, compared to the above, there is another important thing, that is, to let Agnes really ascend the throne as the emperor, so as to rule the Holy Roman Empire justifiably, but it is easy to ascend the throne as an emperor, but there is a necessary link, that is, the pope must crown the emperor, but the previous Pope Pascal II died and was unwilling to crown Agnes, which is a big problem.
