436.Chapter 436: A Pleasant First Battle

"No problem, no problem at all, what problem can I have now? No problem at all, what I mean by total, completely, no, any problem!"

Although there is no way to say such things to anyone - in fact, they don't even ask. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info because they don't feel like it's a good idea to ask. Therefore, the people around William were very reserved, very polite and disciplined, and did not ask William about this matter, but only vaguely reminded him, telling him that he had a great responsibility, and he should be good now, and he couldn't mess around casually......

This made William very unhappy. But he couldn't vent his frustration. Otherwise, it is tantamount to declaring that there is really something wrong with you. That's it.

The encouragement and persuasion of these cronies, these people close to William, may have all been well-intentioned, but of course they were counterproductive. Their mess together only made William's pressure even greater.

It is such a cycle, William's pressure is getting bigger and bigger, although he tries his best to hide his pressure, but the people around him can still feel his pressure from his various actions, attitudes and tones, and then they will try harder to persuade William, and then bring William more and more unbearable pressure.

Therefore, William can only work hard in a place where there is no one, say such words happily, and then pour himself some chicken soup for the soul. Only in this way can we ensure that William will not collapse on his own.

That's it.

If you ask William if he has confidence, then William's own answer must be yes.

Although it is said that his command skills are somewhat inferior to that of his father, King Otto. But Willian can still be called the world's first-class player. Although his army was a little smaller than the enemy's 100,000 army, the new army under his command was much more effective than the enemy.

It is not an exaggeration to measure the combat effectiveness of both sides by three to one, or even four to one.

So, William didn't believe he was going to lose at all. In the northern part of the empire, the terrain was mostly plains. The three small states occupied by the Hereford family are basically fully cultivated farmland, relatively developed agriculture, and the fields are relatively flat. It is very suitable for the deployment and engagement of large troops. At the same time, the Hereford family had a much stronger cavalry force than the emperor, who only had the Carpathian cavalry. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to rely on the carpathian hussars and then copy the back road of the Hereford family like before vs the coalition army.

"Yes, that's it, no problem at all. Well, totally fine. This war is bound to end with the victory of the Hereford family! That's it, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely.

And after the victory of this war, stepping on the corpse of that emperor, stepping on the corpse of the 'theoretically' most powerful country in the world, I can stabilize my position and majesty in the shortest possible time, and I can achieve success in the shortest possible time!

No one can question me anymore, because who can question me, who can question me, having defeated the most powerful enemy in the world?!"

That's it, William's tactics were very simple. It is to win this war. As long as you can win this war, then all rumors about yourself, or doubts and worries, will be easily resolved. In this world, there is nothing to hinder one's progress.

"In a sense, it's not a bad thing for my father to stop now. William thought to himself. The Emperor's surprise attack was a challenge for me, but it was also a real opportunity. As long as this war can be won, then all problems can be easily solved, after all, war is the best place for a person to gain qualifications and prestige. ”

That's it, as William thought - win the war, and then get everything, everything, and everything. If the same war is lost, then he will have nothing.

Well, that's it, very simple and very fair. It's just a pleasure within a pleasant one. William thought so in his heart, and then, according to the custom, he sent a war letter to His Majesty the Emperor, and then waited for His Majesty the Emperor to have a battle with him......

Hereford's army stood at the entrance to the Hereford family, outside Shilonsk. So William did not think that the Imperial army would bypass them...... Of course, they can't get around it.

In addition to Hereford's professional troops, William brought thousands of nomadic light horsemen to cover the battlefield for this war.

These steppe warriors, who carry bows and arrows on their backs, and even one man and three horses, are a little outdated for today's times. But to have them serve as scouts, rangers. They can still do the job of delivering intelligence, disrupting enemy logistical supplies, and engaging in skirmishes of cavalry, strangling enemy scouts, pathfinding, tracking, and more. Or even say it's well done.

At least at the beginning of the war.

-- On the other side, the same work as them was the carpathian hussars.

It is well known that the Carpathian hussars were natural rivals with the nomadic cavalry of the steppes...... Although once upon a time, the Magyars in the Carpathian region were also part of the steppe nomadic tribes, but in hundreds of thousands of years, the Magyars have basically been sinicized...... I mean, civilized.

Basically, in that chaotic dark age when the classical Gothic empire fell, the Carpathian region experienced numerous wars as the first line of defense against nomads. Basically, steppe nomads of all stripes will attack the Carpathian region if they want to make a big deal.

Until the Magyars chose to settle here. Thrive.

These civilizations, converted to the faith of the Lord of Radiance, and founded the Kingdom of the Carpathians, became one of the most powerful nations in the human world. Its elite cavalry struck everywhere and propelled the medieval Carpathian kingdom to its zenith. And even won several wars with the Ostrogothic Empire.

However, it is very regrettable that this flourishing, civilizational splendor has been lost with the rise of two powerful enemies of humanity and the increasing civilization of the Magyars.

The increasingly civilized Magyars, although they still retain their strong cavalry skills, their riding and archery skills as nomads have been weakened a lot. Influenced by civilized countries, the Magyar nobles with status and status preferred to be a knight with a spear rather than a light cavalry with a bow and arrow.

Of course, the more important reason why the Magyars and Carpathian kingdoms fell to this point was not the reform of the military system - the charging cavalry and the archers had their own strengths, and it was not possible to say which type of army was better. The Carpathian Kingdom, which still retains a lot of steppe customs, can still be said to be one of the best cavalry countries in the human world.

An even more important reason is the rise of the enemy of humanity.

Whether it is the Tartarian Khanate or the powerful dark elves, the Ottoman Empire is not comparable to them......

And as one of the frontiers of the human world, the Carpathians also theoretically belong to the system of large border regions...... Compared to the kingdom of Wende, the Carpathian country is a little more tragic, and he must face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. Both the Tartarian Khanate and the Ottoman Empire had land routes for direct attacks on the Carpathian Kingdom.

Especially the latter.

Except for the Second Great Frontier War, when William made diplomatic efforts to ask the Ottomans to stab the Tartarian Khanate in the back, the Ottoman Empire's attacks on the human world have always started from the Carpathian side.

The Carpathian kingdom heroically resisted the invasion of the Ottoman Empire with less than a tenth of the strength of its opponents...... Occasionally resist the invasion of Tartaria's centaurs and nomads...... Of course, in the era when the dark elves did not rise, they were more likely to deal with the invasion of nomads.

In such a continuous war, it is naturally impossible for the Carpathians to always win. And a defeat was a disaster for the Carpathians, who were tired from the war......

That's it, the Carpathians were part of the vast empire of the Dark Elves for decades after their defeat. Although in the end they regained their victory, and then returned to their country. But in this case, the Carpathians no longer have the means to maintain their state alone...... In this case, they chose to elect Kalman IV as their king. Expect Kalman IV and the mighty empire to stand up for them and let them win......

It's just a pity that at present, it seems that Kalman IV and the Swabian family have been unable to protect themselves. The future of the Carpathian kingdom is once again uncertain.

Therefore, the Carpathians were still enthusiastic about aiding the emperor. They did not want to face an uncertain future after the emperor's defeat.

This is one of the reasons why they are desperate, and the other reason for their lives is their enemies. For the steppe cavalry, they have quite a deep grudge. After all, the two sides have been fighting for so long~ for so long, and the accumulated hatred is naturally unimaginably high. So, now, although this battlefield is not the Carpathian valley that they are most familiar with, or the steppes of Ruthenia. But it is inevitable that the enemy will be very angry when they see each other.

In this way, before the official battle between the Hereford family army and the Imperial army, the Carpathian hussars armed with light cavalry guns, teardrop-shaped shields, and scimitars, and nomadic cavalry dressed in nomadic clothing and carrying cavalry bows and scimitars on their backs, were slaughtered on the central plains of the Empire......
