Hohenzollern is far from being comparable to Berlin and Brandenburg later, but today's Hohenzollern is still considered rich for the Holy Empire.
Royce had a smile on his face. He had long wanted to swallow the Hohenzollern. If he could swallow the Hohenzollern, coupled with the strong strength of the great nobles in the east, most of the empire would be in his hands, and he could also attack Saxony from the north to the south.
In the Principality, even if Lothair, an old fox, has great abilities, he will not be able to pick out an encirclement. When the old guy dies, will the empire still be in the hands of the great nobles of the east?
There are too many benefits to seizing the Hohenzollern. Sugus nodded with admiration, "Royce, it seems that you have had an idea for a long time. You are right. We must compete with the Hohenzollern."
Yes, the interests of the Danube River can be completely given up, but the Danes and that fat guy Louis may not ignore it."
"Hmph, if they want to take care of it, they have to have that strength. Do you think that after the Easterners take Tomsk, they will not be interested in the interests of the west at all. As long as the Easterners exert pressure in the east, the Danes will not be busy.
You are too busy, and you are still in the mood to anger us again? As for Louis, that guy may not understand the importance of Hohenzollern. If we promise him money and beautiful women, he will naturally not make it difficult for us." Royce looked confident and looked
Somewhat proudly, "What's more, I have concluded an alliance with the Slavs. Soon, those Slavs who stubbornly oppose the Easterners will retreat to the Caucasus. Our strength will be greatly enhanced. Who can do anything to us by then?"
"
An alliance is beneficial to both parties. The Slavs are relying on the power of the Frederick family. Isn't Royce also relying on the power of the Slavs? After Royce's explanation, Suggs suddenly became enlightened.
In the north of Tomsk, outside the city of Kalevala, after many days of stationing, the Yunfu cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry finally ushered in the peeling family's army. There were more than 8,000 soldiers, plus the families of the lords recruited from various ministries.
The total strength of the army reached tens of thousands. For the peelers, an army of tens of thousands was considered a lot, but for the Northern Shan Army, it was commonplace. Who had seen the Yongding River battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops were attacking?
Do you care about tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?
?The Skinner soldiers didn't seem to be interested in hand-to-hand combat, and Orger was also not impatient. On the first day of the confrontation, Mido sent two thousand men to test the attack, while Orger just set up an infantry formation of more than three thousand people.
Not even the cavalry was dispatched.
More than 3,000 infantry formed three phalanxes and stood in a diamond shape, patiently waiting for the attack of the Peelers. The soldiers of the Peelers were worried and eager to recapture the city of Kalevala, so they had a strong desire to attack. Think about the situation on the battlefield.
The situation is a bit funny. It is clear that the Northern Shanxi Army has an absolute advantage in terms of strength and combination of arms, but the main attack force is the disadvantaged Skinner.
Having been suppressed these days, many Peeling Family soldiers roared and charged towards the infantry formation. On the way to the charge, they did not encounter much obstruction, nor were they hit by arrows. The Peeling Family soldiers were still wondering why they were charging this time.
How could it go so smoothly? When the two sides came into contact, the soldiers of the Skinners discovered that the attack was not as smooth as expected. The opponent's shield was thick and powerful. When they rushed up, it was like hitting a copper wall. Just when they wanted to return to hard resistance, the shield showed a gap and stretched out.
He took out a wooden stick, which was as big as a thigh.
The big wooden stick hit, and the front row of soldiers suffered an immediate disaster. Many people were hit so hard that their chests collapsed, and half of their lives were left in the blink of an eye. The banging sound kept ringing, and every time the shield moved forward, it meant skinning.
Dozens or hundreds more of the soldiers fell.
Since they were unable to watch from a high place and have an overview of the whole situation, Mido and others had no idea what was going on. They only saw their own people being pushed back little by little, as if they were being dragged back by force.
Mido was greatly surprised. He frowned and shouted, "What's going on? Why can't I rush through?"
"I guess it's because the opponent is strong. We don't have cavalry, so we can't harass the opponent's flanks." A captain replied with a grimace. Mido didn't quite believe this explanation. If it was because of the cavalry, then our side should now
They must have been defeated. How could they retreat like this? It was as if two people were wrestling with each other, and the weaker one was being pushed backwards.
The biggest problem in a dense infantry charge was the inability to communicate in time with the front and rear. The soldiers in the front were trapped by shields and wooden pillars, unable to survive or die, while the people behind were rushing up, fearing that they would not get the credit.
Gradually, conflicts broke out at the front and back. Some people who wanted to retreat were blocked by those behind, while those behind wanted to make meritorious deeds. Finally, someone started scolding, "Why are you coming back? Hurry up and don't block everyone."
road.”
"Who are you talking about? The Oriental people are so skilled in cooperating. Many of us have been beaten beyond recognition. Let's retreat quickly. If we don't retreat, it will be too late. Many people will die." Of course those who want to retreat are not willing.
If you are scolded for no reason, and if you can't argue, someone will start a fight. Besides, the style of the Peeling Family has always been like this. If there is a problem, use the knife. Whoever is stronger is the truth.
In the blink of an eye, one or two guys started fighting, and then more and more people were fighting each other. Slowly, a strange scene formed. Mido was a little confused. He didn't know what was going on. There was a fierce fight in front of him.
There was also a fierce fight behind them. Could it be that they were attacked from two sides?
Soon the soldiers sent back the details of the matter. As soon as he heard about the internal strife, Mido's face turned black with anger. This battle was really interesting. Others hadn't taken full action yet, so he took the lead first.
He was defeated. Mido suggested to retreat quickly, but they were already engaged in a fight. It is not that easy to retreat. Perhaps he saw that the Peeling Family was desperate, Qianyunfu cavalry came out from the side and rear,
The originally demoralized soldiers of the Peeling Family collapsed immediately. By noon, less than 300 people had fled to the marching camp, more than 2,000 people were sent out, and less than 1,000 people were left. The disparity in combat effectiveness was huge.
On the first day of the battle, the Peeling Family suffered a huge defeat. With so many people in total, if they suffered such losses every day, wouldn't the whole army be annihilated?
At the end of the day's battle, Mido sat in the tent with a face full of dementia. He felt that he could not continue fighting like this, otherwise he would be met with death. However, there was too little he could think of at the moment. The gap in strength was too big.
It was no longer something that conspiracy could make up for. The next day, Mido sent more than 2,000 people to fight. Facing the combined strangulation of infantry and cavalry by the Northern Shanxi Army, another rout was inevitable. By the end of the third day of the battle, Mi Duo
Nearly 4,000 people under Duo's command have been lost, but Mido said nothing. He only has one idea now, and that is to survive. He is still young and does not want to die in this meaningless war, even if he fights desperately
What can you get if you win?
The wolf master of the Krigtisk family? I'm afraid not necessarily. What kind of person is his father? He is the truest portrayal of him being ruthless. Killing his son is a common thing.
On the fourth day, after Mido left 2,000 men behind, the rest were sent to the battlefield. Orger was not polite. Both sides invested a total of 15,000 troops and started the most brutal battle west of Kalevala City.
The soldiers of the Skinners charged one after another and were strangled by infantry and cavalry. The corpses piled up into a mountain. Standing on the mountain of corpses, one could see the blurry shadow of Yelinburg.
The Skinners were still defeated, and Mido led the remaining soldiers back to the direction of Yelinburg. What was doubly surprising was that Orger did not pursue him in tandem. Chen Yaofeng was greatly puzzled. After cleaning the battlefield, he ran to Orger
"General Orger, why didn't you order the pursuit? Now the Skinners are just a bunch of frightened rabbits. Wouldn't it be a pity to let them go?"
"Why pursue? Wouldn't it be better to let them go? General Chen, do you dare to make a bet with me? In less than two days, someone will give Yelinburg to us. From now on, the Peeling Family has
It’s over, inform all the troops and prepare to take over Kalevala City, we no longer need to use Kalevala City for fishing!”
Orger's words were full of confidence. Chen Yaofeng was really puzzled, but he could only act as ordered.
Orger put his hands next to the charcoal pot and kept warming himself. Although it was almost the beginning of spring, Tomsk was still so cold that people shivered. Before Chen Yaofeng requested to go on an expedition, I am afraid that there were not many people who had the same idea as Chen Yaofeng. He was just
He was just a representative of others. There were some things that Orger did not dare to say to Chen Yaofeng and others. Ever since what happened in the small town of Meijin, all the soldiers had a burden in their hearts. From Meijin to Black Eagle Valley, and then to Kalevala City,
It can be said that many soldiers have a kind of hatred and anger. Hatred is sometimes a good thing, but sometimes it is also a bad thing. The supervisor reopened the arena and used bloody methods to deal with those who skinned the family, which not only shocked the Slavs, but also
Another level of meaning is to share the hatred in the hearts of the soldiers and let them get out of that kind of violence.
The attack on Yelinburg does not mean killing every Krigtisk family. It really means leaving no chickens and dogs killed by the Skinner family. I am afraid that even if the Skinner family fights to the death, we may not be able to get much benefit.
Doing so would not be of much benefit to conquering Tomsk. Shock and killing are not the final solution. As a veteran of the battlefield, Orger can certainly understand Tie Mo's arrangement, but young people like Chen Yaofeng may not be able to understand it. They are now
I just want to kill everyone in the Peeling Family.
As for Mido, Orger also had his own judgment. He wanted to take advantage of Mido by letting him go. After several days of fierce fighting, the more than 2,000 people who really belonged to Mido had not moved. From this point, it can be seen that Mido
This person is very scheming. Wouldn't it be convenient for him to do things by consuming power that does not belong to him? He saw Mido's sinister intentions, so Olger has been cooperating with Mido in acting these days.
Regardless of whether Mido is a good guy or a bad guy, at least it is good for the Northern Shanxi Army. If he can easily kill the Peeling Family, why bother asking for trouble? Orger has his own considerations, and Chen Yaofeng certainly has his own thoughts.
Walking out of the tent, Chen Yaofeng angrily kicked the wooden stake in the corner. He didn't know what the general was thinking. The Peeling Family had obviously been defeated. Why didn't they chase them? Don't chase after a poor enemy? This kind of worry is completely
It's not necessary. The Peeling Family can't create an ambush trap unless they can conjure more than 20,000 soldiers out of thin air. There are too many things that he can't figure out, but Chen Yaofeng has no idea at all. He has learned it long ago in the Yunfu system.
It doesn't matter if you can't figure out what military orders are like. But if you dare to disobey military orders, you will be killed. As soon as Chen Yaofeng came back, more than a dozen generals in the tent surrounded him. Most of these people were young people. They were young and energetic.
At an age that yearns for military glory, of course he is eager to fight. "General Chen, what's going on? The general hasn't let go yet? If we don't pursue him, the remaining soldiers of the Skinner family will escape back to Yelinbao."
"No chance, General Orger is biting him to death. No matter what I say, the general insists on not sending troops. Damn it, it's really evil. Why is he so stubborn?" Chen Yaofeng was also furious, and he didn't pay attention to the people around him at the moment.
There were too many people, but he was not afraid that these words would reach Orger's ears. No matter how domineering General Orger was, could he still kill people for a few complaints?
Outside the city of Kalevala, the Yunfu cavalry began to approach the city according to Orger's order. The infantry gathered together and launched a fierce attack on the northern city of Kalevala. Kalevala was nothing compared to the cities of Siberia and Tula.
, but in the northwest of Tomsk, it can definitely be regarded as a big city, otherwise the Krigtisk family would not store more than half of their heavy equipment in Kalevala. Unfortunately, the wall defense of Kalevala is not good for
As far as the Northern Shanxi Army is concerned, it is still a bit thin and rough.
When Mido led the soldiers of the Skinners to fight against Duo Ri, the city kept an eye on them. Originally, they thought of taking the opportunity to attack from both sides, but they didn't expect that Mido's troops would be defeated so miserably. Now Mido is leading the remaining soldiers to flee.
Returning to Yelinburg, Kalevala was left alone to face a group of wolf-like Eastern soldiers. For a while, many people were in despair.
Moreover, this attack is very different from the previous ones. Before, Orger thought about using Kalevala to fish, so he did not attack in earnest. Now that the goal has been achieved, he will not hold back anymore. The infantry offensive is like a wave, and Kalevala is used to attack.
How could Kalevala withstand its weak defense? In just four hours, Chen Yaofeng, who was full of anger, led his troops to break through the south gate of Kalevala, and his speed was even faster than the north gate.
Chen Yaofeng blamed the Kalevala people for resisting too fiercely, so he ordered people to clean up the streets as soon as they entered the city. The people in the city were killed for a while and cried for their fathers and mothers. The soldiers didn't have a good impression of the people of the Peeling Family, anyway.
Anyone who does not kneel down and beg for mercy, whether at home or on the street, regardless of age or sex, will be killed directly. After the First World War, Kalevala suffered the most painful blow in history, and then experienced more than a hundred years of
They have reproduced and reproduced but have not recovered their strength.
Let's not mention Kalevala, let's talk about Mido. He led the remaining soldiers to flee all the way. He didn't even dare to stop and camp along the way. The original two-day journey was made for him to finish in one day. When the remaining soldiers of the Peeling Family came to Yelin
When they arrived in front of the fort gate, the guards on the city wall were all covered. If it weren't for the fact that there were all familiar faces under the city, they would have thought that the enemy was attacking the city.
