Unfortunately, until the Saxon army defeated the 3,000 servants, there was still no network administrator to respond to Otto.

Seeing the destruction of the servant army, Otto had only one thought in his mind.

This son must not be kept!

With his personal bravery, he changed the situation on the battlefield alone, and the last time I saw this kind of scene, it was Otto playing the Three Kingdoms, holding the female bandit Zheng Jiang's infinite physical strength to impact the enemy.

I didn't expect that this kind of picture that only appears in games can also happen in reality.

This is not a game after all, the characters in the game can be invulnerable, but in reality, no matter how strong people are, they are flesh and blood.

Duke Bach tried to charge Otto's home after charging the servants, but he had to stop his attack in the face of arrows and crossbows fired by Otto's soldiers.

After using his mace to deflect the weak arrows beyond the range, Duke Bach snorted coldly, glanced angrily in Otto's direction, then turned his horse's head and drove away with several equally brave soldiers around him.

"Well, I didn't lie to you, this Duke of Saxony is amazing." Seeing that Duke Bach did not continue to attack, Count Werner breathed a sigh of relief and said to Otto with some schadenfreude.

"It's not just powerful, I look at Bach like a great emperor." Otto followed suit.

"The Emperor's Posture?" Apparently Werner didn't understand Otto's joke, and frowned and thought about it. "You're saying that he can build a powerful empire like the great emperors of history?

No, it's terrible. ”

"You don't know how to be humorous." Otto gave Werner the same thing as he did not continue to explain. "Although this Duke of Bach is brave, it can't actually change the situation in front of him, and I don't think he is so difficult to deal with."

"Do you have a solution?" Timo Werner was a little surprised, the Duke of Bach seemed so brave, could Otto find a way to deal with it after only one fight?

"Guess why didn't he dare rush over just now?" Otto asked.

"If you go any further, you're in the range of an arrow, and the other party is not a fool."

"That's right, since he's not invulnerable, when the time comes, get close and shoot him with a crossbow, won't it solve the problem?" Otto didn't think it was difficult.

"This..."Werner was a little dumbfounded, the aristocratic education he received since he was a child didn't tell him to deal with the nobility like this.

Otto didn't speak, El spoke.

"Lord Earl, this is a war, the other side is now a rebel, not a nobleman, please don't treat the rebels with the standards of a nobleman."

Otto glanced at El appreciatively, and felt that this younger brother was really good, although he was usually lazy, but he still had a brain, and he knew very well what was right and wrong.

"El is right." Otto smiled slightly. "Count Werner, you must have forgotten the Saxon War, how cruel and bloody it was, in exchange for the saxons.

Now, since the Saxons have forgotten about the war, it is necessary to remind them. ”

That said, but Otto had no idea how to kill the Duke of Bach.

Although it is possible to take advantage of the characteristics of the Duke of Bach to take the lead, let the soldiers in the front row shoot each other with crossbows. It's just that whether this can kill the Duke of Bach, Otto has no answer.

Although Otto was far away on the battlefield, he could clearly see that the Duke of Bach was wearing armor, and it was still difficult to shoot him to death when he was wearing armor.

The other party is so brave, if he is really like the fierce general in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he can dodge arrows, or he can still be shot as a hedgehog and still be able to open a matchless, then the morale blow to Otto's side is undoubtedly huge.

Perhaps, it is not impossible to see that Duke Bach from now on and run.

The morale and will to fight of the army in the era of cold weapons, Otto simply did not dare to trust.

The reason why the servant army of more than 3,000 people collapsed so quickly just now was because the courage of Duke Bach and his own soldiers frightened the soldiers who were originally farmers, causing them to dare not resist and let them be slaughtered.

In this battle, Otto also saw some ways, that is, the army brought by Duke Bach this time was actually not very strong in combat.

Except for Duke Bach and his one or two hundred personal soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the other Saxon soldiers was actually similar to that of those servants, the difference was only in the equipment.

The servant army was a rudimentary set of weapons and armor, and the Saxon soldiers of Duke Bach were relatively well-armoured.

That is to say, as long as the play of the Duke of Bach can be restricted, and there are more servant troops, it may not be impossible to defeat.

Since the combat effectiveness of the reinforcements from the other side is average, relying on the Duke of Bach alone, Otto also thought of a simpler way.

That is, not to confront the opponent head-on, relying on the terrain and long-range weapons every time, just drag the opponent, take advantage of the greater number of cavalry in his army, and constantly fight to completely destroy the war potential of the Saxons.

It's a pity that the popularity of crossbows in the Franconian army is not too high, I don't know why, in short, this useful weapon seems to have been deliberately forgotten by the duke, and only a small number of elites in Otto's army of 5,000 people are equipped with crossbows.

Coupled with more than 100 of Otto's own soldiers, Otto only made up nearly 300 crossbows.

This amount can only limit Duke Bach and his personal soldiers, and it is simply impossible to win the war by relying on this.

After communicating with Timo Werner, Otto decided to split his forces into two ways.

He himself took the cavalry and was responsible for raising more servants, while Werner took the infantry and was responsible for entanglement of the Duke of Bach.

Otto left all the crossbows to Werner, lest Werner suffer defeat.

At the same time, under the castle of Kassel, the Duke of Franconia looked at the map and the fortified castle not far away, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

He still has nearly 30,000 troops at his disposal, and the Saxons on the other side are only about half of his strength.

Although he had a sufficient numerical advantage in the army, he actually suffered losses in several battles.

Bach, the rebel leader elected by the Saxons, led a small group of elite soldiers to constantly harass, which caused him to suffer a lot of losses, especially when the other side destroyed several siege engines, which caused him to launch a general attack that was always delayed again and again.

Recently, after he strengthened his defense, the annoying Bach finally did not appear again, and the new batch of siege equipment was almost ready.

"Lord Duke, we are sure that Bach took the men to the north." A baron walked in and hurriedly reported.

"Looks like Otto and Timo Werner are doing a good job." A smile appeared on the Duke of Franconia's face, and he nodded slightly.

"How's the siege equipment going?"

"The equipment you need is ready, and you're ready to attack."

"Good! Tomorrow launch a general attack, pass the order, the first person to enter the castle of Kassel will become the new Count of Kassel! ”
