With the first Norman soldiers, the smell of blood on the mountain road began to grow stronger. But before the javelinmen had time to celebrate, or to take advantage of the victory, the Norman cavalry jumped to their feet, their scimitars shining brightly, and before they could react and throw a second shot, they chopped them down, and the heads of the javelinmen rolled down the mountain road............... ，

The war continues.

The Norman cavalry struck bravely, killing more than half of the javelinmen in a single shot. However, the javelinmen who were further back in the position also reacted at this moment, and then continued to throw their guns, and there were two more cavalrymen on the spot, and the javelin in one was "stabbed" from the cheek bone and passed directly through the throat. The man gripped the barrel of the gun and grabbed his throat, and when he grabbed it, it was a handful of blood, and the inside of his mouth "gurgled and ...... and trembled for a long time before he collapsed weakly.

The other is the leather armor that was hit by the kidney, although the skin was only slightly scratched, but the black, the blood that needs to be filtered by the kidneys can't stop flowing out, and gradually feel weak......

"Lao Tzu is going to pull a cushion when he is dying!" The horseman's eyes suddenly became crazy, and he howled like a wolf, and pounced on one of the javelinmen, and the long knife in his hand stabbed the man's internal organs one by one, stabbing him into a pile of miscellaneous pieces in the stomach. The javelinman can tear it twice for the first two hits. After that, however, he could not move, and his eyes were fixed on the disc cavalryman, who was moving more and more slowly, and the pain became more and more intense. Eventually......, with a "Ahh

The war began, and the war began. The Eastern Roman javelinmen seemed to be better suited to such mountainous terrain than the average soldier, and the cavalry lost three soldiers. This was a large number among the Norman and Celtic armies, which numbered only two hundred men. Regardless, the attack was a complete victory for the cavalry, killing sixty javelinmen and driving them away as many as they killed. However, there were only three losses and not many injuries. With such a battle loss ratio, you can feel face-saving wherever you go.

However, it is still not enough.

"Get ready. Everybody. Soon the sky is dark.

The enemy will probably be able to launch an attack again. We're safe after that. ... , Artoria looked at the sky, and then took out the pocket watch that Egil gave her to confirm the time, but she didn't know how to get it, maybe it was in the previous war that broke which part of the pointer clicked and bounced, but Artoria, who was not too late to breathe, wanted to drop this useless thing. But it's a little reluctant to think that this is a gift from Egil.

Indeed, as Artoria said, from the morning the left and left met on the left, and then in a battle of cavalry on both sides, Artoria lost most of his men and horses, and fled all the way north to this mountainous land. Then the two sides continued to fight, and by now it was dusk, and the sun was about to set.

After six or seven hours of continuous fighting, the Artorians were sleepy, and Lilianu looked similar. But morale on both sides is quite high. The Lilianos were outnumbered, although they had lost a few hundred men in the attack, and in addition to the losses of several hundred men in the previous cavalry battles.

Together, nearly eight hundred soldiers were lost, but Lilianu's total strength was more than five thousand. Coupled with the advantage of being able to take turns to fight, the physical strength is also maintained well. They still maintain absolute superiority, which is why their morale is high.

Altoria, on the other hand, was overwhelmed, but had managed to repel several enemy attacks beforehand. The slight losses made the soldiers feel that it would not be a problem to continue to defend like this, although the dry food for the march was difficult to eat. But if you barely swallow it, you can hold on for three or five days. And in three or five days, His Majesty the Emperor of Kiev should have received the news and come to the rescue,......... , this time I shared hardships with Her Majesty the Queen, and I have to be upgraded to a level when I go back......

Under such psychological effects, the morale of the Norman and Celtic soldiers was also high.

However, these lower-middle-class soldiers can be as optimistic as they want. But the upper commanders had to think foremost about everything that could happen. In fact, although Artoria and Lilianu both forced their composure in front of their subordinates, Jī boosted morale. But in their hearts, a princess and a queen have already considered the worst outcome. ,

Lianu thought to himself: "If it is a few days later, it will not be able to break through the opponent's defense." Then the main force of the enemy in the city of Kyiv, or the Celts in Krakow, will inevitably get the news, and when the time comes, I will send a large army, and I will only have four or five thousand men and horses, how can I stop it?

It is sure that it will be defeated, and this defeat, if it is a hundred dead, if it is alive, what can it do? Eastern Europe has nothing to do, so I have to go back and look at the face of the old immortal.

Even if the old immortal is really dead, with my current prestige, it is still very difficult to ascend the throne and become emperor...... ，

But what happens if I get captured, what will they do to a princess of an enemy country, even though the recent progress of Norman civilization has been very fast. But in the end it's just a barbarian......"

Thinking of this, Lilianu shuddered, and her eyes shone like poisonous snakes as she looked at the mountain.

"Attack! Capture that woman alive!"

Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu shouted hoarsely. If it weren't for the fact that the mountain combat was too dangerous and she would hang up if she was not careful, she would have wanted to be on the front line to command.

Thus, a total of 500 Eastern Roman hoplites and Praetorian Guard soldiers were organized, and these soldiers were among the few soldiers who managed to escape with Princess Lilianu, or were quickly gathered. Therefore, there is not much equipment missing. One by one, they still looked like hoplites. The spear shield looks quite formidable.

And over there, Her Majesty Queen Artoria was also thinking: "If you can't defend alone, or if the troops in Kiev and Krakow don't get the news, the damned spy was shot dead by the Cossack archers at the first time." All the pigeons he was in charge of were lost. So it's not impossible. When the time comes, after a few days, the food I brought with me is gone. It doesn't look like there's anything to eat on this mountain, just kidding, how can you fight a war if you eat that thing?!

So, what happens if I am captured? What will the other side do with the queen of an enemy country? Although the Eastern Romans claim to be a civilized race, you see what Basil did when he fought Bulgaria, he was even more barbarian than the most savage barbarians...... "So Artoria was also very worried, and his face was cloudy and uncertain as he watched the hoplites gradually and slowly climb up the mountain." Don't worry about the difficulty of the mountain road, these heavy infantry are heavily armoured, holding spears and shields in their hands, and their movements are clumsy, how can they climb up?" Altoria saw that the other party had dispatched heavy infantry, and the soldiers around him looked a little nervous, so he shouted: "Mountain warfare is no better than plain warfare, and some equipment for plain warfare may not be effective when you get it to the mountains.

The opponent's large shield and spear cannot be used at all in the mountainous terrain. And the scale armor worn by the opponent is not very mobile, so it is not suitable for large movements. It is very difficult to climb the mountains. Don't be afraid, everybody. It's all right!" The Normans, the Celtic soldiers were a little calmer when they heard this, and when they looked over again, they saw that the other party was really as Artoria said, with a large shield and spear in his hand, which was very obstructive, and it was not suitable for grasping the branches and climbing the rocks. And the scale armor on the body, the mobility is indeed not high, the hem of the scale armor blocks the retreat, and it can't run fast, it can't be lifted at all, hundreds of heavy infantry have tried several times, but they can't get up...... ，

When Artoria was Queen of the United Kingdom of Ireland and Wales, she spent her time in the British Isles, both Wales and Scotland, all of which were mountainous terrain. Therefore, the queen has a lot of experience in mountain warfare.

However, lìlì Annu is much worse. When she conquered Bulgaria, there were a lot of mountains, but she didn't catch up, and the battles in Asia Minor that she participated in before, the terrain was mostly plateaus and plains, and the light cavalry and cavalry tactics were well trained. However, there is still zero experience in mountain warfare, which is why such a joke is made.

The end result is ridiculous. Lilianu's imaginary final battle was over before the hoplites, especially the hoplites in full-coverage scale armor, couldn't even climb up. Not to mention fighting. Eventually, in Norman, the Celtic soldiers left in disgrace amid the laughter of the Celtic soldiers.

Under the mountain, Princess Lilianu's angry face turned pale. The injury that came out of Krakow's battle was not healed before, and at this moment I felt like vomiting blood.

However, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the Royal Highness of the Princess, a person who can do great things, or should be able to do great things, and swallowed a mouthful of hot blood with patience. Then he coughed twice and didn't dare to be too loud. After that, he gave a somewhat gloomy order: "Stop the attack, set up a tent, rest and set up a sentry, don't let the enemy escape, don't be discouraged." If you continue to attack tomorrow, the other party won't be able to hold it for long!"

The battle is like this, and Her Royal Highness the princess has to encourage the army so much!

And on the top of the mountain, Her Royal Highness the Empress also took the opportunity to encourage the morale of the army: "Don't worry, soldiers, they can't do anything to us! As long as we hold on for a while and three days at the latest, reinforcements will come to save us [to be continued]
