"Romans, advance!" cried the soldiers, not Imperial soldiers, not soldiers—but the Romans, the most powerful people around the Mediterranean, who had conquered countless barbarians and won countless victories, and deservedly the most powerful people: the Romans.

"Romans, !! forward"

I heard such shouts in my ears. The soldiers of the gods, even the peasants from the most remote villages, could not help but recall the pomp and circumstance of the Roman Empire. Then I couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Forward!"

"Forward, forward!!"

"We are the Romans!!"

Although the language and culture have changed slightly, although the identity and status are quite inferior, but at this moment, the sound of "Rome" has aroused the resonance of all the soldiers of the Eastern Roman Empire. It represents a spirit, and even a kind of faith, starting from the founding of Rome, starting from a small city in the Apennine Peninsula, with a history of thousands of years, countless storms and rains, but Rome does not fall!

The warriors shouted in a variety of voices, high-pitched, high-pitched, or low-pitched, until at last the voices gradually unified, as if the streams had finally merged into a great river: "Romans, advance!" The whole Roman army boiled like water reaching 100 degrees Celsius!

War, war, war! The war of the Romans, the war of the Roman Empire, Rome is immortal, the spirit is immortal, it will win!!

In such an arrogant mentality, in such a warm atmosphere, the soldiers of the Eastern Roman Empire roared wildly, enthusiastically and selflessly charged towards the Norman army, and the soldiers, regardless of their origin and equipment, all fought side by side, like brothers!

"What a nice bunch of soldiers...... Rome?" On the watchtower opposite, the Black Queen snorted softly, and her fingers gently stroked her hair, and then whispered: "It's a pity, it's outdated." Think of it as the last elegy. ”

At this time, the morale of the Roman army was like a rainbow, and it had long since lost its previous decline, and it turned from defense to attack in an all-round way. And the Celtic army was not ambiguous, and the heavy spearmen in front of it were originally more defensive than offensive. At this moment, the spearmen gathered their formation and mixed with the lightning infantry to increase the attack power of the array, and the Prussian regiment on the right flank also shrunk into an arc-shaped array, strengthening the garrison on the flank. Plus the support attacks of javelinmen and longbowmen. The garrison was like an iron hedgehog, no matter how fierce the Roman army's offensive was, like a stormy wave, the Celtic formation was like a rock. There is no flaw at all.

Lilianu was originally a little happy to see her morale rising, launching a counterattack, and taking the advantage, but this moment she saw that the enemy was well guarded, and she became a little annoyed. Although there are no one-size-fits-all allusions in the West. But Her Royal Highness also understands that people's hearts are extremely fickle, and the courage of flesh and blood can only be used for a while. Therefore, the more regular the army, the more emphasis is placed on discipline, and the less emphasis is placed on individual bravery. It's like the current situation: although the Eastern Roman army has the upper hand for a while, if it can't break through the opponent's array after a while, then the courage of your own army will be smoothed out. By that time, if the enemy counterattacked, the Eastern Roman army would be defeated.

"We must find a way to end this war as soon as possible...... "The princess groaned, and then her eyes turned to the left flank, the place that she had ignored since the beginning of the war. After all, at the beginning, Her Royal Highness expected these ragtag armies to just defend their own fronts.

However, the development of the battle surprised Her Royal Highness, and in the end, the most inconspicuous left flank was the only place where the coalition forces were gaining the upper hand.

But if you think about it, it's actually not surprising, after all, the difference in numbers between the two sides is too big. The coalition army's Eastern European miscellaneous troops combined were 10,000, plus the hammer soldiers of the two thousand-man teams reinforced before, and the guards of the 1,000-man team, which was an army of 14,500 people. Although some of them were lost in the previous battle, there were still more than 13,000. And the Normans had only about three thousand troops, which was four to one-fifth of theirs.

In the past, when the Norman legions suppressed the enemy, it was okay. However, after a moment when the coalition army eased up, and began to counterattack with the 1,000-strong guards as the backbone, the Normans were suppressed. The Eastern Roman army took advantage of its numerical superiority to constantly attack the Norman flanks, hoping to outflank the Norman army. The Norman army, under Anderson's garrison, tried to avoid this situation, so they kept retreating to keep the formation intact. ,

Under these circumstances, the battle situation on the left flank seemed to be that the Normans were constantly retreating, and the Eastern Roman army had the upper hand. However, Her Royal Highness also noticed, and the other party seemed to have noticed this situation, and was ready to send a group of troops to rush over to reinforce it. However, the main forces of the other side seem to have been thrown into the battlefield, so that the only irregular peasant soldiers who have surrendered to the Normans from Poland can be used. However, for some reason, the servants were scattered and did not follow orders very quickly, and the speed of their march to the battlefield was not very fast......

"Probably because I don't like their commanders. The queen is said to have a very poor character, and she doesn't understand how to buy people's hearts at all...... "Her Royal Highness the princess naturally thought of this, and she rarely had a faint sense of superiority over Artoria. That is: although the war or something seems to be a little stronger. But the charm of buying people's hearts is that I won - such a feeling.

Of course, this kind of thing can be a little proud in my heart. There's still business to be done. The actions on the other side also strengthened the determination of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Immediately afterwards, Her Royal Highness ordered that her reserves—the sixth and seventh thousandth of the Guards, three thousand short swordsmen, one thousand hammers, and about three thousand auxiliary infantry javelinmen and slingers—a total of nearly ten thousand soldiers, be thrown into the left flank. It is hoped that the opposing left front can be completely crushed. This increases your advantage and leads to victory.

However, such a thing ...... Will it go so well?

The war is still going on. After the Norman light archers drew their cavalry crossbows and crushed the Cossack heavy cavalry with guerrilla tactics, Pugachev had completely lost confidence in victory. The Cossacks were capricious and capricious. Seeing such a scene, where is there any reason to continue to fight hard and give people a funeral, Pugachev gave an order - those with horses directly stepped on horseback and began to escape, and those without horses immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy as prisoners, waiting for their families to redeem them, or simply join the Norman army - anyway, they joined the coalition under the banner of mercenaries. Not afraid of losing face. Of course, then again, the Cossacks were a bunch of hooligans, and they had no face to lose......

In this way, the Cossacks collapsed, and the steppe cavalry could not hold out for long, and the Norman hussars used 5,500 cavalry to directly defeat the opponent's nearly 30,000 troops in this battle. General Qi Teng made a great contribution.

However, Her Royal Highness was still struggling, and put all her hopes on the counterattack on the left flank, and a total of more than 20,000 coalition troops squeezed into that narrow space of conversation, desperately fighting forward. The Normans retreated - and even though they sent two reinforcements in succession, it was to no avail.

"At least a draw can be maintained...... "Her Royal Highness the Princess thought.

At the same time, on the watchtower opposite, Her Majesty Queen Artoria snorted lightly and raised her hand: "It's time, the navy is dispatched!"

At the order of Her Majesty, the knights of the Guards blew their horns, five short and one long—and then the Baltic Detachment's river fleet, which had been hidden at the corner of the river and hidden by the rocks and reeds, together with the large number of ships that Altoria had recently collected from around the Vistula, sailed out at the fastest speed! And then there's the Livonian garrison, the 3,500 professional Viking warriors under General Aven, and the 3,500 light infantry of the river fleet itself!

Her Majesty the Queen of Artoria, a new force that had been hidden since the start of the war, tens of thousands of elite troops, appeared in an instant from a place that no one expected! In an instant, the Vistula River changed from Lilianu's imagination of a "safe flank" to the most terrifying attack platform of the Norman army!

"How so?!" In an instant, Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu almost fainted. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers on the left flank were heard shouting in horror:

"Boats!

"It's the Normans! Those ships are enemies!!"

"The enemy is attacking from the river!"

In the face of the sudden change, the poorly disciplined coalition troops panicked, some of them turned around and yelled at the ships, and some took off their upper clothes and jumped into the water with a "poof", trying to cross the battle. There were also soldiers armed with short bows and bow-hunting who shot arrows at the Norman ships......

But none of this mattered, the Normans equipped the large ships on the outermost side, and the crossbowmen all concentrated on the large ships - under the command of the crossbowmen commanders shouting "Shoot the arrows!", a total of thousands of crossbowmen wound up, and then the crossbow arrows were like a storm, with the sound of "whew" and "whew" to shoot at the left flank of the coalition army, which could not be denser than dense......
