Seeing that the situation was stalemate, his side suddenly had an extra new force and rushed those desperate Holy See troops to pieces. Morale on the side of the coalition was suddenly high. Under the command of a group of European monarchs, they fought harder, and on the contrary, after this incident, although the Holy See army still fought bravely, its morale dropped by a few percent. Attacked by several assault forces of the coalition forces, the gaps in the front line continued to grow.
In the end, with the cheers of the Norman army and the wailing of the Papal army, the opposing front was finally torn apart, and the outermost tens of thousands of Papal troops were divided into several pieces, and they could not take care of each other. The soldiers of the Holy See Army looked around them, there were less than a thousand people, and the few were hundreds. Looking around him, the enemies were all over the mountains, and he couldn't count them. Morale drops again. Some of the soldiers dropped their weapons, wept bitterly, and fell to their knees in surrender. And such an action was like a chain reaction, and in a flash, the Holy See army was crying bitterly, and thousands of soldiers surrendered their weapons and surrendered to the coalition forces.
The Papal Army lost again, and Harold had less than 20,000 troops at his disposal. And morale is low. Or fight a little longer and be defeated. He looked around him again, and the Valangi mercenaries who had been with him for more than ten or twenty years also looked grim. Looks nervous.
Harold thought about it, but he was helpless. Finally, he gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and drew his sword to the sky, but he said something like this: "...... Break through. ”
Hearing that his own leader did not make a mistake, he thought about dying on the battlefield. The Valangi mercenaries finally breathed a sigh of relief. Gripping his axe, he prepared to escort Harold as he ran. Harold, however, was still pondering. Now the Norman coalition of more than 200,000 troops, more than ten times the strength, surrounds his less than 20,000 troops in the middle. Hard resistance is definitely not resistant, if it is a breakthrough. It's also very difficult. It's around four o'clock in the afternoon. Although the sun is already setting, it seems that you can't support it anymore. Running away while it's dark and chaotic is not the way to go. Then that's all there is to it......
"Heavy cavalry! Now is the time to take a gamble!!" "Heavy cavalry charge!!" Harold roared, and the last one in his hand was whole. The attacking heavy cavalry thousand-man squad was taken out. And all the archers and crossbowmen were concentrated, and desperately launched an attack on the eastern side of the encirclement.
Originally, Harold still had a chance in his heart. Prepare to lead the army to break through and then return to Rome, relying on the high city and deep pools to deal with people. Although he had told the Pope before that it was better to defend the city than to fight in the field. But I can't care about it so much for a while. Since this is the case, then the direction of the breakthrough is naturally to the south, the city of Rome, the seat of the Holy See is the best.
And yet this moment. The Norman army guarding the south was a ruthless force. The elite unit that has just completely broken the garrison of the Holy See, the Centaur Legion. The centaurs numbered only five thousand. But when it comes to fighting, it is one against ten. Extraordinarily brave. Harold felt that it was really not a good idea to break out from this direction.
Harold observed for a long time, and the 1,000 heavily armored centaurs who were first put into the battlefield fought for a long time, and they were stunned that none of them were killed - the human knight fell into chaos. It is easy to be dragged by the thighs and pulled off the horse's back, and ravaged in various ways. Centaurs, however, don't care. He was dressed in a four-millimeter-thick plate armor that was invulnerable. Even if there is a Swiss Guard. exerted all his strength and slashed at the opponent's chest with a fierce halberd, which only made the opponent take three or two steps back. A roar ensued. With a single blow of the wheel tomahawk, you can cut the enemy on the opposite side in two. ...,
This kind of power made Harold gasp. Naturally, they did not dare to send soldiers and horses to pass through here. And on the east side, there are the armies of the Norman Manchus, Brandenburg, Austria and Venice. Plus the Norman heavy cavalry and hussars. Although the army is also considered to be strong. But the armies of several countries were mixed. It's a bit of a mess. Hence the choice by Harold.
I only heard Harold give an order. He commanded his henchman Valanji herald and immediately ran over to greet the heavy cavalry troops. The heavy cavalry thousand-man detachment that had been waiting for a long time. Immediately put the formation in order, and ran towards the east side desperately. A strong cavalry joining the battlefield, although it is not a drop in the bucket, it is not a send-off. The situation on the right wing of the Holy See has improved slightly. But to say that breaking the Norman defense is unlikely.
Of course, Harold didn't expect them to get it done. After transferring the heavy cavalry, he recklessly transferred the last three thousand-man Papal Guards to the right flank. Seeing that the situation on the right flank has completely improved, the troops and horses on both sides are attacking and defending, and the fighting is lively, but the other fronts on that side are faintly in danger of collapsing. Harold secretly shouted, "If you don't leave now, when will you wait?" and left the army, and under the escort of a group of mercenaries who were close friends of Walangi, he desperately picked up the axe and killed it on that side.
Harold's other skills may be a little worse, but his ability to run away is absolutely top-notch. Seeing that the fight was coming, he immediately threw away the golden helmet on his head, the silver armor on his body, and the cloak and horse behind his back. casually smeared a handful of dead man's blood on his face. Then he drew his battle axe and fought with a group of Valanji mercenaries.
He left the army for a while. The Papal troops lost their command, and soon someone shouted: "The commander has run away! Leave us behind!!" The Papal troops, who were still struggling to support themselves, looked over again and did not see Harold again. Even the Valangi mercenaries under his command don't know where they went. The front was crushed by the Norman army. The remaining nearly 20,000 Papal troops were immediately divided and surrounded. The collapse is not in shape.
At this moment, the Norman army also heard about this kind of thing, and they all desperately killed the middle of the encirclement. In addition, the sun has completely set at this moment, and the light is not good, and in the end, Harold really broke through!
"We won, the coalition won, the Norman Empire won, the great Egil, Skadragrímsson the Great won!!" Seeing the Papal army fall in pieces, the dead and the dead surrendered. The Allied forces, especially the Norman armies, shouted excitedly. The sound spread more than ten miles away, and Harold, who was fleeing in embarrassment, like a lost dog, trembled in the ears of Harold, who had been beaten back to his original form. It also made the remnants of the defeated soldiers who followed him panic.
"General, what now?!" Originally, when he was the leader of the mercenaries, Harold's subordinates called him the boss, or captain. But when he defected to the Holy See, the Pope saw him as a talent and made him the commander-in-chief of the new army of the Holy See. Harold is bullish. He asked his subordinates to call him a general.
Of course, at this moment, either the general or the captain. It's just a nice shout. Harold looked at his side. After a fight, the total number of Valangi mercenaries who were still with him was only a hundred, and most of them were wounded, and they were all exhausted. And it was so fierce all day. This group of people has not eaten a single meal. As soon as the spring evening breeze blows, I feel hungry, tired and cold. Miserable.
"Hurry up. I reckon the Normans will soon send out cavalry to search for the rout. I won't be able to go any later!" Harold said in a low voice, his pace quickening again. ...,
A group of Valanji mercenaries complained of misery, and some of them were seriously injured, or tired, or hungry, and they "pounced" as they walked, fell to the ground, and passed out.
"Let's go! I miscalculated today's battle! I can only take revenge by saving my life! Let's go!"
Seeing that beside him, some of the Valanji mercenaries hesitated, and they were about to reach out to hold their robes. But Harold's heart was like a stone. He opened the man's hand and glared at him viciously as he said such a thing.
"But, but we're brothers—" The mercenary paused for a moment, then argued.
"If you help him, you can only die together! If you go, you can still live!" said Harold viciously.
Hearing Harold say this, the Valangi mercenary, who was still moving, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and stopped looking at the eyes of his companions who had fallen to the ground, and accelerated his progress. After walking out of this way, the mercenaries around Harold added up, and there were only more than fifty left.
"Egil Skadergrímsson!!" Harold thought as he walked, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he roared angrily, followed by a mouthful of blood vomiting out. The Valangi mercenaries hadn't had time to be surprised. Then I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
"Hide! it's the Norman cavalry!" Harold reacted the fastest, and despite the nausea in his chest, he immediately ran into the grass beside the path, and lay motionless on the ground. The other mercenaries followed suit and went into hiding. After a while, a group of no less than a hundred hussars, pulling the reins in one hand and holding a torch in the other, galloped past them. Sprinkled the ashes of these remnants of the defeated generals.
It was only after the cavalry had passed, and after a while, that the Valangi mercenaries got up. Carefully identifying the way, he continued his flight in the direction of the Holy See.
"When we go back to Rome, we will be safe. "Dozens of remnants of the defeated generals are all thinking like this. Unbeknownst to them, their every move was detected by Norman's spies and sent to Egil. Now next to them, there are a dozen Norman spies who are following them. It's easy to kill all these routs.
However, Egil, the vicious, mischievous fellow, did not give such an order.
"If they want to go, let them go. When they arrived in Rome, it must have been interesting to see that scene...... Aha......". )
