"Good!" Seeing his artillery blast open the gate of the drawbridge without any suspense, General Ace shook his fist and shouted loudly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info In Prague, however, the soldiers of the coalition army felt unusually hopeless. No one was able to maintain morale in the midst of such a horrific shelling. These coalition soldiers are no exception. Many of them were stunned by such a violent attack. There are not a few people who pee their pants without being angry. Under such circumstances, it was naturally very easy for the Norman Empire to attack again.

"Quick! Hurry up and build the bridge. The army is attacking! The assault infantry is in front, the infantry is behind, and the long-range bows and crossbows are not to stop! Take out all the equipment, and the city will be broken now!" General Erss roared with his fist. And the fourth round of bombardment of those thirty-five guns also made a best footnote to his words. At least a third of the scattered flowering shells fired by the mortar fell into the city of Prague. Blowing up the coalition forces above and below the city walls like rotten meat......

After General Ers' order was so, the Norman army moved into action in a very fast time. The soldiers pushed and pulled the bridge truck desperately. And quickly erected a twenty-meter-wide bridge on each of the east and north walls, which was not so much a bridge as a road bridge. Immediately afterward, thousands of Norman infantry roared angrily, pushed their ladder carts, and rushed over. At the same time, on the building cart in place, the Norman archers also began to shoot arrows desperately into the city. Bows and crossbows of various specifications and styles poured desperately into the city of Prague as if they didn't want money. You can simply use them for bathing.

"This, this ......" At that time, during the third round of bombardment, the hard-working General Karl was cut off half of his head by a piece of shrapnel that landed on the ground. In this way, the command of the coalition forces fell to General Wallenstein - only he was a Bavarian. The Austrian and Bohemian soldiers didn't want to hear him at all. In fact, upon learning of the death of General Karl, the soldiers of Austria and Bohemia completely collapsed.

"Break out -- no, no! In Prague now, almost all the forces of the coalition are concentrated, and if they fail, they will all be finished! No, we must find a way to stabilize these soldiers -- yes, they just lose their morale. As long as the morale is there, the situation is still there! That's right!!"

Almost instantly, General Wallenstein's head turned around like a windmill. Then the decision was made! We must keep going, yes! We must stop the Normans here, or it will be all over!

"Calm down, calm down!!Don't run away!Keep fighting!!!" General Wallenstein roared as if he had gone mad, mercilessly slaughtering the fleeing Austrian and Bohemian routs. Hopefully, fear and coercion can be used to revive their spirits. At the same time, he also loudly ordered his two deputies to act separately and defend the city:

"Adar, you take men to defend the gates! Don't let the Normans rush in! Karn, you take people to aid the northern wall! Just like before, I broke the other party's ladder cart and fight the Normans! Quick, let's split up! I'm going to get the army ready, and I have to calm down all the Austrians and Bohians!!"

In this way, with the efforts of Wallenstein and his men and guards, the chaos at the frontal and eastern walls was somewhat suppressed - of course, only before the Normans arrived. And with the attack of the Norman Empire's bow and artillery, there was a tendency to disintegrate.

So, when the Norman assault infantry quickly crossed the river, what awaited them was not the scene of the enemy scattering or fleeing, or kneeling and surrendering. In has been blasted open. At the gates of Prague, which was completely useless, a group of Wallenstein's personally trained and gorgeously dressed pikemen were heavily guarded. Although these people did not have much armor, the clothes on their bodies were made of high-quality fabrics, even silk, and they did not hesitate to use all kinds of dyes, even gold and silver threads. In addition, there are many ornaments and medals used as decoration. This makes their outfits not much cheaper than a suit of armor.

These people are the product of the Bavarian military reform. Super-pikemen infantry in Munich. An elite army cultivated by high salaries, strict training and a sense of honor. Their defenses are poor though. But it's very aggressive, and the morale is quite high. And the use of extra-long guns as weapons is also in line with the military situation of this era.

If such an army were to appear elsewhere, it would probably cause a wave of enthusiasm and establish many great feats. But it's a pity. These guys are facing Norman soldiers, the most powerful, advanced, and at the same time bloodthirsty army in the world.

"Damn it, get out of the way, you damn scum, we are the soldiers of the great Emperor Egil!"

Seeing that at this time, there are still people who dare to rebel against the great Norman Empire. The assault infantry in the front row roared angrily, wielding sharp long-handled battle axes to directly cut off the barrels of the guns that stabbed at him in the front row. And he scolded so loudly. And the comrades-in-arms beside him were not to be outdone, scolding mercilessly, and without hesitation, they waved their tomahawks and slashed without hesitation. Vow to chop these clown-dressed scrap wood into slag!

Under such circumstances, the "new army", which had been hoped for by Wallenstein, was quickly destroyed by the Norman assault infantry. However, these Munich pikemen did not live up to their title of "lions". In the case of formation destruction, he still did not flinch. Draw your sword, scimitar, and tomahawk. Close to the Norman assault infantry.

In this way, the front gate of the city was preserved because of the desperate defense of these Bavarians. On the other hand, the Norman army that walked through the front gate was not as good as the one that climbed over the city wall with ladder trucks......

A tool from a hay-covered ladder truck improved by General Erth. With the support of bows and crossbows in the rear (artillery bombardment has stopped. Because I am afraid that I will miss and hurt my own people). After all, the Bavarians made up only a quarter of the coalition forces and went to war as reinforcements. It was Bohemia and Austria that could really make the difference. It's a pity that these two principalities have no more people other than General Karl......

In this way, the 10,000 or so Bavarians - some of whom were also in chaos, so let's put it aside - the 7,000 or so Bavarians were naturally not enough to defend a large city like Prague. Even if it's a small area like the city gate. If it is a place as wide as the city wall, there is really nothing that can be done.

Soon, the Normans were able to gain a foothold on the walls where the enemy had fled in all directions, with little resistance. and steadily advanced towards other parts of the city wall, especially the few still-intact arrow towers. Many soldiers went straight down the stairs into the city of Prague, slashing down the streets and slashing the fleeing coalition soldiers, and advancing towards the city. Murder and arson to cause more chaos......

"Damn! you bastards, shit! Hurry up and resist, resist!!" Seeing this situation, the city of Prague was full of wolf smoke and a miserable situation. General Wallenstein's eyes were torn. Shouted at the soldiers who were running in all directions. Only, when he kicked over a soldier and was about to go up and make up for him with another sword. But suddenly, the man looked up, his eyes glaring at him with resentment.

With a "pop", Wallenstein's heart thumped. The movement of the hand slowed down a beat. Seeing that the soldier took out the dagger in his arms and stabbed him, he did not dodge. Fortunately, the guard next to him didn't look good, stepped forward and drew his sword, blocking it for him. Otherwise, a generation of famous generals will be done like this, and it will be too sad......

"Are you alright, General?" the guard cut off the deserter's hand with a sword, and stabbed him in the neck with a sword. Then he asked.

“...... The military spirit has been lost, it's over......" Wallenstein sighed secretly in his heart. Then he made up his mind: In that case, we Bavarians don't need to work for your Habsburg court!

With this thought in his heart, Wallenstein immediately set about arranging. Ordered the guards to act as heralds. Go around the city to gather the Bavarian army, go first yourself, and meet at the south gate of the city.

And just like that, the last soldiers in Prague who were willing to fight were gone. After a few hours of chaos in the city, Wallenstein slipped away from the south with six or seven thousand Bavarian troops. Only a group of motherless children in Bohemia and Austria suffered. The slain is killed, and the surrendered surrenders. The 30,000 troops that the Duchess of Teresa had worked so hard to amass. It was all at once......

The flames and chaos continued for a night and a half day. Wait until daytime the next day after the city is broken. Prague barely stabilized. General Erss was pulling General Karl in the mayor's mansion, and the dead half of his head was pulled for a while, and then he threw it under the table, kicking it out like a ball. Then he turned to his guards and asked, "So, one who died and one who ran away?"

"Yes, General. Karl, the general on the side of Bohemia and Austria, died. Wallenstein of Bavaria saw that the situation was not good and ran away. His knight of the guard replied.

"Well, it's fine. It doesn't matter if you run. Today, tomorrow we will be in Munich, will he still be able to run? Go! Give the victory to the lord! Just say that we have taken Prague, and the whole of Bohemia is just around the corner!"
