With severed limbs and wailing all over the field, in the woods and hills on the outskirts of a town in the Livonia region, scenes of medieval cavalry duels are unfolding, howling heavy knights wielding lances and swords and spilling blood, and humble infantry wielding heavy pole weapons to fight back.

With the rise of the Taiping Army, the countries of Eastern Europe have made great strides to learn from the Western European countries, constantly increasing the proportion of muskets in the army, and the long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows in the past have gradually withdrawn from the armaments of the armies of Eastern European countries with Hong Tiancheng's repeated victories.

Nowadays, in addition to the backward Crimean Khan, the regular armies of the countries and forces of the number one have completely abandoned the use of bows and crossbows, and eliminated them to the second-line and even third-line militia and security forces.

The all-firearms Taiping army played a shocking huge territory, so that the noble commanders of various countries could not help but have the inertia of 'firearms invincible', although the position of cavalry has not been shaken, but the status of firearms in the infantry corps has long been different.

However, as firearms become more and more common, the small-town battlefield, which determines the ultimate ownership of the Livonian region, is engaged in battles similar to those supported by courage and cold weapons in the Middle Ages.

The last essence of the Livonian aristocratic coalition, almost all of the rebels composed of the children of the native Livonian nobility and the guardian knights, were cornered by the desperate pursuit of the Knights of the Holy Sword, and had to take up arms for the last battle of their lives for their own survival.

Most of the local nobles in Livonia who oppose the political organization of the Knights of the Holy Sword led by Ketler come from the former conquerors, who are one of the main culprits in the destruction of the Knights of the Holy Sword.

This is also the reason why the local rebel nobles in the Livonia region are still fighting desperately even when they are at an absolute disadvantage.

It's just that the strength of the two sides has long been completely reversed from the beginning, with the help of the Taiping Army, after the Holy Sword Knights won the Battle of Livonia, with the momentum of the great victory, there was no day to stop the suppression of the rebel nobles in the Livonia region, and under the leadership of Ketler's own diligent killing of the enemy, today, the nobles who rebelled in the Livonia region finally ushered in the final end.

The rebellious nobles of the entire Livonian region, except for the cunning ones who fled abroad in advance, were all trapped in this encirclement and suppression war of the Holy Sword Knights, and the Holy Sword Knights fought for the complete victory of this encirclement and suppression war, and even evacuated more than ninety percent of the veterans in other regions, and Ketler wanted to end the war in Livonia with a crushing force.

At this time, whether it was the Knights of the Holy Sword who had been encircling and suppressing for a long time, or the local rebel nobles of Livonia, who were close to running out of ammunition and food, they had already abandoned their firearms that had not been fired by gunpowder and replaced them with reliable cold weapons, which was why the roar of muskets was rarely heard in this battle, and there were blades and slashes everywhere.

Of course, the efficiency of the use of firearms in melee is not as good as that of cold weapons, after all, the convenient and durable musket bayonet has not yet been invented in this period.

However, just as the Livonian rebel nobles were compressed into a small town, relying on innocent townspeople as 'bunkers', and struggling to the death, the outskirts of the army surrounded by the Knights of the Holy Sword suddenly rang out with gunfire and shouts!

Because the Knights of the Holy Sword Knights had always believed that there was only their own armed force and the last remnants of the rebellious nobles in the Livonian region, all the main elites were placed on the front line during the critical period of the battle, and there was no defense at all in the flanks and rear, and as a result, the unknown army that suddenly rushed out easily broke through the scout sentry cordon placed on the periphery of the Holy Sword Knights and rushed to kill.

The Knights of the Holy Sword who had just been attacked tried to counterattack back, and the victories along the way made their hearts proud, but unfortunately, they seemed to have forgotten that this era was now dominated by muskets......

The counter-offensive launched by the cavalry of the Knights of the Holy Sword was undoubtedly a tragedy, and thousands of heavily armored cavalry were killed and wounded in front of the ambushed musket queue of the Christian Brotherhood Cathar Guard, and they were shot and destroyed before they could even touch the side of the Christian Brotherhood Cathar Guard soldiers!

It was only then that it dawned on Ketler that he was encircled and could be annihilated at any moment!

From a hunter to a prey all of a sudden, this kind of thing is very shocking, but fortunately, Ketler has been lying on the back for decades, and his mental quality is extremely strong, after a short shock, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and gradually sent people to gather the elite who invaded the town to annihilate the nobles of Livonia and the core members of the Holy Sword Knights.

The ordinary soldiers of the Holy Sword Knights Kettler had no scruples, under the melee and sudden attack, he didn't have the time and enough manpower to gather the whole army, all he could do was to lead the elite and core members of the Holy Sword Knights to break out!

The Christian Brotherhood's cathar guards are attacking like a tide, and the number of people is more than the main strength of the Holy Sword Knights, and the Holy Sword Knights, who have lost their formation and fallen into chaos, have no chance of winning at all......

Although Ketler trained a group of veterans who had seen the battlefield in blood in the civil war in Livonia, there was still a gap between him and the real elite, not to mention the unscientific morale of the diehard, so the moment Ketler got the general news of the enemy, he knew that he now had only one way to break through.

Fortunately, he gathered a lot of real knight elite guards of the Holy Sword Knights around him, plus the Holy Sword Knights have been pressing Livonia to resist the nobles, and the elite losses are not large, and it didn't take long to gather a group of more than 2,000 troops, and then began the arduous breakthrough battle.

According to the victory data released by the Christian Brotherhood forces later, this raid was a great victory for Christendom, and the main force of the Taiping lackeys Holy Sword Knights, who were ravaging the entire Livonian region, were completely wiped out, and only a few hundred people escaped, establishing the temporary supremacy of the Christian Brotherhood in the Livonian region!

On top of that, Ketler, the soul of the Knights of the Holy Sword, was seriously injured during the breakout, and after returning to the lair, he went to God to confess his sins after holding out for a week......
