Chapter Thirty-Seven: Steadfastness and Abnormality
readx;
Because of the convenience I mentioned earlier. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so Bohemian this way of the enemy army. Not as nervous as other anti-Norman allies. Their morale, and their confidence in victory. and the highest among the nations. It is for this reason that they have received the greatest touch among the nations.
Because, the soldiers of the Norman Empire completely exceeded their imagination. It was originally thought that the Bohemian mountainous region, which could withstand the attack of the other side, and the tens of thousands of allied troops that were heavily defended in the mountains, were as vulnerable as paper paste in front of this general.
The general named Uss had an extremely hideous face. Collapsed nose, broom eyebrows, hanging eyes, rabbit lips, twisted glued ears, a large pile of pockmarks on the left side of the face, a tumor on the right side of the face, a severe hunchback, and ichthyosis all over the body......
Everything imaginable in this world, as well as a small number of unthinkable qualities that can destroy appearance, have all been provoked by him. It's a miracle to see that this guy can hold on for two seconds without throwing up. Not fainting for five seconds is a miracle within a miracle. Compared with him, the bell tower weirdos of Notre Dame Cathedral are all handsome. The toads in the stinky gutter are more likable. The general also had low self-esteem because of this. Most of the time dressed like Arabs. Cover your entire face. Even so, his eyes and alien-like figure were enough to scare many people.
However, such a general is the most powerful individual among the new generation of generals. General Ers, armed with a heavy, rough machete. It is even possible to go fifty rounds in the Emperor's hands without being defeated - if the Emperor is not wearing armor and wielding a demon sword.
At the same time, this general is also the most proficient person in the empire for siege, and even more able to defend cities. He is also an excellent forge, and knows how to cast all kinds of fine guns, and how to use them.
Under the auspices of this general, the Eastern Route Army of the Norman army advanced extremely well. This Norman army chose a completely different approach to the long-range firepower that General Farr had used before him in the Swiss mountains. In contrast, General Erss preferred to take the lead in the attack with his army. Using Norman assault infantry and charging at the enemy's heavily garrisoned essence was the general's favorite pastime.
And his machete is enough to disembowel anyone who dares to stop him, brave and stupid. He always finds the best opportunity to charge, and he can always find the weak link in the opponent's seemingly tight front. and can always kill enough enemies for him to kill......
"Stop, stop that monster!" Hurry up!!! "It was the fifth day after the Norman Empire officially went to war with Austria, Bohemia and Bavaria. In the first four days, General Ers took the lead, attacking the Allied positions with great speed and fierceness. And these theoretically "indestructible" positions have been beaten to a pulp. Thousands of coalition soldiers were chopped to pieces by him and his assault infantry.
Such a horrific record, coupled with the fact that on one occasion, General Ers was picked off his mask during a battle. showed that hideous and terrifying face. These two factors add up. In the minds of the coalition forces, General Ace has become synonymous with monsters.
After hearing the other man say such things and call himself a monster, General Ace became even angrier. He roared, turned his head, and shouted in a hoarse voice to the warriors behind him, "Attack, my soldiers, Norman warriors! Follow me and chop these bastards to pieces!!
And at this moment, a Bohemian infantryman, seeing that General Ace turned his head and showed a flaw, roared angrily, stepped forward, and stabbed the spear in his hand into General Ace's neck. General Ace suddenly heard that the wind was not right, and immediately turned his head and dodged the blow. Then roared and swung his machete. Smashing the opponent's face with a blow that was more like a slash - a trick that the general preferred. In short, disfigurement.
And after hearing General Erth's shout, the assault infantry under his command also roared angrily and attacked even more frantically. The coalition front, which was already very embarrassed, became stormy for a while.
"What a monster!" Not far from the front line. General Karl and General Wallenstein were speechless. It was a long time before General Karl opened his mouth and uttered such nonsense.
For four days in a row, four battles and four unsuccessful battles. Such a record made the two famous generals of the Holy Roman Empire feel aggrieved. Seeing that this period is probably going to lose again. General Karl turned around, gritted his teeth in hatred, and said, "I'll go and prepare to retreat." Surrounded by a group of guards, he followed the mountain path down the hill at the back of the battlefield.
These are the few days of time. Although the coalition forces are bound to lose in every battle. But you can still hold on. The two generals were not as intuitive and judgmental as Uss. But it can be regarded as a first-class celebrity. The coalition forces were defeated but not chaotic every time. After the death was cut off, the main force withdrew. Each time, one or two thousand soldiers and horses were lost. The main force is still there, and it can still play against the Normans.
"It seems that the strategy of holding back the other side in the mountains has completely failed. Then the next battlefield is Prague...... Hopefully, a strong city can do a good job. "After seeing General Karl leave. Wallenstein looked at the battlefield again. There, the Norman army had the upper hand completely. The array of coalition forces was torn through a gap. The entire array is also constantly retreating.
"Soldiers, follow me!!"
At this moment, General Karl roared, rushed to the front line with his guards, and began to fight the Norman assault infantry.
The general, wielding the mace in his hand, struggled with the Normans. To be fair, this is the toughest opponent General Karl has ever faced. Each of their soldiers was armed with sophisticated full-body plate armor, and each soldier was armed with a sharp, long-handled battle axe. Such equipment, training qualities. General Karl had to admit that the elite troops that he was originally proud of were probably not farts in the eyes of these Normans.
If it is said that General Erth's excellent command and personal force were the first and most important reasons for the defeat of the coalition forces. Then the excellent qualities of the Norman assault infantry themselves are the second. The soldiers are not as good as the other side, and the generals ...... I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem to be as good as the other party. If such a battle can be won, there will be a ghost.
"Therefore, taking advantage of the geographical advantage is the only hope that our side can win. But ...... "but at the very end, General Wallenstein did not say it. Despite being around, his guards were trustworthy men. Wallenstein still didn't want to say. So, he just finished this sentence in his heart:
"But what General Karl and I are presiding over is only part of this war. Even if we were to win, if all of our allies were to fail, the victory would be completely meaningless. ”
As soon as he thought so, General Wallenstein despaired about the future, the alliance, and the future of his country. Wallenstein, who once fought alongside that emperor, remembered being Egil. When Skadragrímsson brandished his demon sword and single-handedly (literarily, ignoring the Hundred Guards Knights and the Four Thousand Furious Battles) to disperse the million-strong Mongol army, Wallenstein did not see such heroics. But as long as you think about it, you can't help but feel excited.
"Can we really win against such a great emperor?" said Wallenstein. At the same time, beside him, a knight stepped forward and reminded:
"General, General Karl has completed the arrangements for the rearguard troops, and it is time for us to retreat. ”
“...... Well. Wallenstein nodded. Then he turned and left with his guards.
"Damn it!"
This time, it was General Erth's turn to feel helpless - after the main enemy forces retreated.
A group of elite soldiers of about 500 men blocked the advance of his army on a narrow mountain road. They were an elite unit formed by order of the Austrian Archduchess Theresa and personally trained by General Karl. They are well-armed and well-trained. and they received a high salary, comparable to that of the average knight, but seldom went into battle, for they were the dead men who were used to break the queen, or rather, to send them to their deaths. Once these soldiers entered the battlefield, it marked that the army of the principality was in a difficult situation and had no way to return......
For four days in a row, General Ace used this tactic after each victory. It's like a lizard with a broken tail. Leave this group of troops to die. The main forces took the opportunity to retreat. In the end, there is no complete outcome. General Ace felt unusually depressed.
"But that's the day. After a moment of deaning, General Ers regained his composure. A hideous smile appeared on the ugly face covered by the mask. Depending on the distance, the army will soon reach Prague. Naturally, it was impossible for the enemy to leave that bohemian fortified city undefended. Since it is garrisoned, there will be a siege battle.
Despite the high and deep pools of Prague, the garrison was well and numerous. But as the strongest general of the Norman Empire, General Ers was full of confidence and staged a decisive battle in Prague, a beautiful decisive battle that ended in a complete victory for the Norman Empire......
