At that time, the army led by Henry was led by a group of Eastern European cavalry, and the infantry and cavalry were disconnected, and the whole army became a long dragon. The Swabian knights, carried away by the so-called "victory" and honor, especially the former Knights of the Janissary of the Holy Roman Empire led by Henry himself, and now the Knights of the Swabian Duke's Personal Guard. A total of 1,000 knights dressed in composite armor with plates and chains, chain mail for horses, and a Roman black eagle cover. These knights rushed to the front, roaring the loudest, the bravest, and the first to die .......

When the Norman Empire, the nomadic hussars mobilized from Eastern Europe, entered the area, they were immediately obscured by the lush yellow weeds that grew in autumn. Soon disappeared into the hills, and when the Swabian knights and knights stopped and were about to wait for their duke's order to take a step closer, the Norman army, which had been impatient for a long time, "suddenly" crawled out of the grass and bushes more than half a man high, and then heard the loud shout of their commander-in-chief Sulla, which was expressed by the trumpets of his generals' guards".

1,500 crossbowmen from North Saxony, 1,500 crossbowmen from the Western Polish Legion, 2,000 Livonian crossbowmen from Livornia, 4,000 militia crossbowmen from other parts of Poland and Scandinavia in Northern Europe, and 1,500 crossbowmen from Hesse. Add up to a total of 10,000 crossbowmen, plus 50 bed crossbows that are temporarily rushed, and the crossbows are fired at the same time, and the scene is spectacular!

Due to the different heights of the crossbowmen deployed on the hills, several rows of soldiers were able to shoot at the same time at the same time, so the Norman crossbowmen fired several times more crossbow arrows at the first time than usual. I only saw that the entire battlefield was densely packed, and the crossbow arrows like flying locusts made a "buzzing sound" that made people's teeth sour and scalps exploded. "Splitting his head and swooping down on the Swabian knights!

"There is an ambush !!" ran at the front, the most eager, and possibly the bravest, Swabian knight shouted heartbreakingly. Immediately afterwards, he was shot like a hedgehog by hundreds of crossbow arrows. Blood splattered with strange flowers. Looking at the knight again, even the man and the horse, plus the seemingly solid plate chain composite armor, were all shot and couldn't see the original appearance.

Behind him, more knights, knights, and cavalrymen fell to the ground, and hundreds of Swabian knights died in the air. The screams were incessant.

"This ...... What the hell is this?!" At this moment, Henry, Duke of Swabia, who was still alive, was stunned in surprise. He was very fortunate that he was not killed by an arrow in the first place. However, tormented by intense suffering and crazy fear, he felt that it was better for him to die at the first time.

The Duke saw with his own eyes that his proud Order of Knights was attacked by the enemy's heavy crossbowmen at the first time, suffering heavy casualties. He saw that the knights, who were usually brave and fearless, and skilled in battle, were shot like hedgehogs when they couldn't even resist. The corpse was still twitching and spasming. And beside him, the knights who were loyal to him, shared life and death, and swore allegiance to him, stood in front of him at the first time. The crossbow arrows that were supposed to be shot at themselves ended up killing them. The wails of the knights and their mounts on the battlefield ...... heard.

"It's like a nightmare......," Duke Henry's mouth opened wide, but he couldn't utter a single note. He wanted to turn his horse's head around and escape from this hell. Or, as he said before, rush forward and die a glorious death. ...,

Yet his blood seemed to have clotted. The body, the torso, and the limbs stiffened completely. Completely immobile.

"What are you thinking, my lord?!!

"Order?!What order?!" Henry spoke, his eyes blank and unfocused. It's like sleepwalking. It made the knight of the guard even more anxious.

"Whether you charge forward or retreat, you will regroup with the infantry. Anyway, please make a choice quickly!" After the knight said this, a burst of crossbow arrows roared, and although he held the iris shield to protect his body as much as possible, the kinetic energy of the pulley crossbow was quite huge. Quite a few crossbow bolts "buzzed" and nailed to his shield. The tremendous force shook his arm with unusually painful pain. At the same time, some crossbow arrows were impartial, nailed into his arms through the shield. He screamed in pain. The shield-wielding left hand dropped down a distance, revealing his chest.

Then, the dutiful knight was shot through the heart in the next round, in a tightly spaced crossbow bolt less than a second. Killed on the spot.

"Peter!" looked at the old subordinate who had been with him for more than ten years, and straightened up like this

He died beside him, and Duke Hum suddenly woke up. screaming his name. For a moment, it was as if it was alive again.

"Retreat!

After experiencing a five-round salvo of the Norman army, Duke Henry howled miserably and gave such an order. He then took the lead in turning his horse's head and prepared to retreat under the escort of the remaining knightly nobles. However, it's not that simple. Seeing the entire Swabian army retreat. Such a great opportunity. Naturally, Norman will not give up. There are several relatively flat open areas intersected by hills. The impatient Eastern European cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, roared and chased after the Swabian knights who had retreated.

This group of bare horses riding without any armor and only equipped with hard leather armor, or light chain mail, are naturally faster than knights equipped with plate chain composite armor and riding war horses equipped with chain mail. Although, these irregular cavalry were not as well trained as the knights, who trained hard day after day. But in the case of the enemy's retreat, this gap was narrowed indefinitely. The heavy weapons such as war hammers, battle axes, pickaxes, and maces used by these Eastern European cavalry were also very effective against heavy knights.

Soon, under the pursuit of the Norman cavalry, the Swabian knights suffered heavy casualties. Under such an advantage, Lucivid, Duke of Hesse, was in a state of flux and urged his army to rush towards the Swabian rout. For a time, there was a slight commotion on the left flank of the coalition forces under Hesse.

"Really go",... But there's no order, let this guy attack. Next to Sula, the veteran Norman regimental Anderson complained. Although he said so, he was also a little eager to try it with such an advantage.

“...... , let's catch up too. Sulla thought for a moment and then said. At the same time, I didn't forget to add: "Keep the formation." "The general, who came from a military academy, is quite superstitious about tight and neat arrays. Think that this is the best means to win in a war. In this battle, he also set up a standard three-column trapezoidal formation in order to maximize his long-range advantage. This works well, though. But in the eyes of veterans like Anderson, it is a little dull......

"Forget it, what are you going to do now. And this guy is already doing pretty well. Then Anderson shook his head and thought so. Immediately afterwards, under the command of the two generals, the Norman infantry sequence began to be methodical, transforming the three-column trapezoidal array into a universal phalanx array. The soldiers began to pursue while maintaining their formation, which was much slower. Soon he was driven ahead by the chaotic Hessian army. ...,

"Damn it!"

At the same time, Duke Henry, who fled in embarrassment like a lost dog, finally relieved himself for a while. Such a defeat, such a rout, made the duke, who thought highly of himself, angry. And the knights under his command were constantly being chased by the enemy, and the fact that they were killed in despair also made him angry. The Duke immediately felt that if he did this again, he would definitely fail, not in the glorious victory he had imagined, or in the heroic death of the battle. Instead, he was very aggrieved and very ugly and was chased and killed by the enemy cavalry. This is absolutely unacceptable to Henry!

"My friends, the bravest knights of Germany! Look what we look like?! We are being chased by the enemy, and we are disgraced like wild dogs! I have had enough! All right! Now, let us cheer up and turn around and fight the enemy to the death!!"

Duke Henry stopped his horse and roared, and his shout was echoed by the Swabian knights. The fleeing knights, who had long since had enough of such a disgrace, turned around and frantically fought with the Norman Eastern European cavalry that was chasing their attack. The Swabian knights, encouraged by the humiliation, fought desperately, and suddenly inflicted heavy losses on the Eastern European cavalry, who were happy to fight in a good fight!

"Let's get the infantry up faster!We're going to fight back and defeat the Normans once and for all!" he used his shield to block an attack by an Eastern European cavalryman, and then cut off his head with a sword, and the Duke of Li, in high spirits, shouted loudly.

Immediately, two knights responded with a bang and left the battlefield as heralds. rushed towards the infantry sequence in the rear. And at this time, the Hessian army caught up with the Swabian knights who were in the melee. Without much imagination, Luciverd, Duke of Hesse, shouted excitedly and gave the order to attack!

"Rush over and destroy them!!!" Lucived shouted. And the Hessian infantry under his command. These rugged warriors, dressed in heavy chain armor and armed with long-handled axes, roared out in excitement as they charged into the battlefield! ）
