The kingdom land composed of Upper Saxony and Lower Saxony can be closely connected with the Istria Highlands. From then on, the powerful Eastern Empire will control the voice of the northern part of the Holy Empire. Why is this? No, the Easterners must not be allowed to
After obtaining the Kingdom of Saxony, Sugus didn't want to give up. When he thought of the possible consequences, he couldn't help feeling cold from the bottom of his heart. The Eastern Empire was already powerful enough. Once they were allowed to take in the land of the Kingdom of Saxony, the Holy Empire would
Was completely suppressed.
Suggs dispatched all the troops and horses available in Pusk City, not daring to take a breath for a moment, and rushed westward. However, all his efforts were destined to be in vain. When they arrived at Festak, the powerful Siberian garrison finally showed its strength.
Showing the strength to crush everything, with trebuchets and ramming vehicles, and covered with arrows, the entire Festak was shrouded in a desolate atmosphere. Festak guarded the eastern entrance of the Kingdom of Saxony, and here there were
Thousands of Prussians fought desperately to garrison, but when had the Prussians ever seen so many trebuchets?
In the evening, a new round of attack finally began, and Elizabeth personally arrived at the front line to supervise the battle. Elizabeth was not relaxed at all. If she did not bite Festak, it would mean risks, so no matter how much she paid, she would not be able to do it.
Feistak City must be taken quickly, "Chen Yaofeng, throw all the kerosene accumulated in the general in, and the musketeers suppress it from the south. In addition, transfer the Iron Buddha to come over and tell Orger that I will give him an hour.
, if you still can't take the high ground in the north after an hour, let him raise his head and come to see you."
Once under command, Elizabeth resumed her previous determination to kill. Although the imperial soldiers attacked fiercely, it was not enough. Among them, the Prussians on the northern high slopes restrained a lot of energy. The reason why the Iron Buddha was sent there was because
Even if they took a fancy to the iron stupa's heavy armor defense, even if these iron stupas had no horses, they would have to chew down the high ground little by little. After getting Elizabeth's order, Orger didn't dare to hesitate. He knew Elizabeth's character very well.
Yes, this woman is true to her word and resolute and courageous in her actions. Let alone Orger, even if it were Liu Guoneng, if he failed to fulfill the military order, he would still be killed without mercy.
The high slopes in the north have always hindered the attacking troops and horses. The Prussians continued to make sneak attacks. Once they were attacked by heavy troops, they quickly retreated to the high slopes. This area was full of coniferous forests, and the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army were not familiar with the terrain.
, many times he went in and suffered heavy losses. In order to complete the task assigned by Elizabeth, Orger decided to go to the high slope himself. The cold wind blew strongly at night, and the woods roared, just like countless women lamenting and sighing, which made people shudder. Setting fire must be
That's not possible. The forest is so close to Festak. If a fire is set, not only the Prussians but also the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army will be burned.
Looking at the gloomy jungle, Orger turned over and dismounted, and with a ferocious energy that only a gangster could have, he said, "Dismount all of them, and move the musketeers at the back over, forming a team of three to protect the two musketeers.
The general won’t believe it, even if this place is a dragon’s pond and a tiger’s den, I will still capture this place.”
In this coniferous forest, ordinary fighting methods have no effect at all. No wonder Concubine Xiao insisted on letting Tiefutu come over. She made it clear that she wanted Tiefutu to act as heavy infantry and crush them bit by bit, even by crawling.
Plow up this high slope bit by bit. This is not the first time that Tiefu Tu has appeared as heavy infantry. Fortunately, they are used to it. As long as there are infantrymen holding shields to cooperate, they can also become qualified heavy infantry.
In just a moment, a large number of infantry and musketeers were moved down the high slope. These people formed a team of six, spread out their formation, and pushed in little by little. The shield bearers protected the musketeers, and the iron pagoda served as a human shield in front.
This weird combination is somewhat nondescript. Using the iron pagoda as a human shield can only be accomplished by an army like the Northern Shanxi Army. If Lothair and others knew that Orger used the iron pagoda like this, they would be so angry that they would faint.
, this is a group of iron cavalry built with a lot of money, but they actually do the most inconspicuous and dirty work.
Under the cover of night, the Prussians hid in the woods and attacked secretly. This method has been tried and tested many times. The Orientals have rushed into the woods several times before, but they all came back defeated. The stupid Orientals dared to enter the woods even when it was dark.
Isn't this seeking death?
A Prussian held a small crossbow in his hand. When he saw the shining spot of the torch, he quickly took action. The sharp arrow was pierced by the cold wind, but there was no muffled sound as expected, only a clanking sound. Damn it, why did you shoot?
Immortal?
The Prussian was still wondering when he felt a strong wind blowing by his ears, followed by a sharp pain in his shoulder, and an arrow pierced the hide of the shoulder and sank into the flesh. This situation kept happening, and the Prussian suffered losses.
Only after several hundred people did they realize that something was wrong. The Eastern soldiers who entered the woods this time were almost invulnerable.
After paying a heavy price, they finally understood what was going on. They were a group of infantry covered in iron armor, with musketeers behind them. As long as someone made a sneak attack, they would immediately counterattack in the direction of the attack. Many Prussians were killed in this way.
What can we do? The gang is invulnerable and the sky is dark. They can only be beaten passively. If they retreat like this, they will all have to jump off the cliff. In desperation, the commander in charge of Gaopo can only order the withdrawal.
All retreated to Festak City.
After daybreak, the remaining Prussian soldiers on the high slope were wiped out. Orger finally breathed a sigh of relief. This job was not easy at all. He might as well attack the city. On this day, there were dark clouds over Feistak City.
It was densely packed, just like the mood of the soldiers and civilians in the city. Since Lothair II took office, the city of Festak has become the territory of the Conrad family. Up to this generation, the current city owner is the Duke of Mazovia, Lower Saxony.
·Conrad is now thirty-seven years old, the age of his prime.
He is absolutely unwilling to hand over the city of Festak to the hands of the East. The interests of the Conrad family are suitable for the Lothair family to be tightly tied together. Both parties will prosper and suffer losses. If the Kingdom of Saxony cannot be saved, Conrad
The De family will be completely submerged in the long river of history, and will never recover. Mazovia is dedicated to guarding the entrance to the kingdom, but the development of the situation has given him more and more headaches. Until now, the soldiers and horses deployed to harass and contain the outsiders have either been wiped out.
Either they were forced to return to the city, and now, only Festak City is left. The Easterners are really so powerful, and overnight, they completely control the battle situation in their own hands.
Bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door. Not long after, John, a priest belonging to the Conrad family, walked in with his sleeves tucked in. Looking at the frowning Mazovia in front of him, John bowed and said, "Your Majesty the Duke
, Pope Gregory has sent out the church armed forces around Hohenzollern, and they will definitely arrive at Festak within two days, and I hope that the Duke will hold on for two days."
"His Majesty the Pope has sent troops?" Mazovia did not show much excitement. He was now worried about how to hold on for two days. It is understandable that the Pope is willing to send reinforcements. Looking at what the Easterners did in Siberia
Because they do not believe in God at all and are a group of outright pagans. In Kiev and Vladimir, the Easterners brutally suppressed the church. If the Easterners are allowed to occupy the kingdom, I am afraid that the church’s influence in the Holy Empire will be further
weak.
For the benefit of the church, Gregor must also do everything possible to stop the advancement of the Easterners. Unlike people like Dorle, Gregor did not have his own land, and the only thing he relied on was the power of faith. If
God's faith is doubted, and the power in his hands will dissipate. As for Doerle and others, they do not live by the church. They have their own territory and their own business interests. From the beginning, they are not in line with the church.
In some respects, Dorle and even Lothair have been trying their best to weaken the influence of the church, but they just can't do it right.
Of course, Gregory did this not for Lothair, but to maintain the integrity of the Holy Empire. As long as the empire was stable, the church's power would not suffer much loss. Although people like Lothair also wanted
They tried their best to weaken the influence of the church, but they did not dare to do it blatantly. However, Easterners were different. They would really attack the church and would not consider the opinions of the Germanic people at all.
When John sat down, Mazovia stretched out his hand and tapped the map in front of him, "You may not know that the Easterners have an army of one hundred thousand. There is no doubt about this. The people I sent out will not be wrong after many statistics."
How can we hold on for two days in the face of such a huge army? Unless the army on the Istrian highlands can appear behind the Easterners in time, how can we do it on our own?"
"Your Majesty, Duke, now that things have happened, some methods must be used. As far as I know, there are still more than 2,000 young and strong men in Feistak City, and there are 4,000 men over ten years old. In addition,
Falling in love with young women is a big force. We can only try every means to last for two days." John was talking eloquently. At this time, he was not a holy priest, but more like a lawyer who was constantly calculating for victory.
official.
Mazovia frowned very hesitantly. He did not want to use this method. As a result, those civilians would probably suffer heavy casualties. But in the end, he nodded with difficulty. For the benefit of the Conrad family, some things must not be done.
Don't do it.
The Conrad family used all available forces. The soldiers and civilians in the city were gathered together. Everyone contributed their own strength to resist the attack of the Northern Shanxi Army. It may be insignificant, but thousands of people and tens of thousands of people gathered together.
, is still a force that cannot be underestimated. At this moment, the rumble of drums sounded, and the trebuchets began to show their power again. Due to the huge workload, many trebuchets were overused and malfunctioned and were seriously damaged.
But Elizabeth has no intention of stopping. The pressure on Feistak City cannot be stopped, and they must be suppressed until they can't breathe. In fact, Elizabeth does not need to order many things. Now there is only Feistak City left. Time
In an emergency, there was no other way but to attack by force. Liu Guoneng and Geng Zhongming personally took charge of the command in both directions. In order to capture Festak in one fell swoop, Elizabeth invested 14,000 troops at once.
Now we can only wait patiently. Liu Guoneng took the lead in launching the attack from the south. The vanguard of two thousand people carried ladders and rushed towards the fortified city in front of them under the cover of musketeers. These people included Slavs and Mongolians. At this moment
, they are close comrades-in-arms and have the same goal, to capture Festak and seize the Kingdom of Saxony.
Pushkin was a hunter from the Caucasus Mountains. He did not have any great dreams. He only knew that in the most difficult time, it was Master Dongfang who saved the lives of his whole family. He was a man who repaid his kindness, and he only had one for the rest of his life.
The goal is to fight on the battlefield for the Eastern Emperor and expand the territory. He is the sharp knife in the hands of the governor. Carrying a wooden shield in his left hand, Pushkin is like a wild beast, rushing towards the city. A piece of rolling wood falls, and Pushkin roars.
With a sound, the wooden shield was swung, and the rolling wood was thrown aside, "Ah... Prussian slaves, grandpa is here..."
For these Prussians, Pushkin despised them. These people did not have their own land at all, and they just continued to submit to others. They were not worthy of being a great warrior at all.
The Conrad family are just wild dogs around Lothair, how can they compare with the Governor? A stone fell on his cheek, and the sharp stone scratched the skin, leaving a deep scar. Pushkin was already
He looked rugged and majestic, but now there was a bloodstain on his face, which made him look particularly ferocious. He grinned, and in the eyes of the defenders, he seemed to have seen an evil ghost.
A Prussian civilian who had just touched the battlefield saw Pushkin's ferocious smile, screamed in fright, and couldn't help but retreat.
In the distance, Liu Guoneng kept observing the progress of the siege through a telescope. Seeing that the city was getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but waved and said, "Very good, let the musketeers get close to the city wall immediately. No matter what the cost, we must suppress it."
Hold the garrison and relieve the pressure on the siege troops."
If the musketeers approached the city wall, they would inevitably be within the shooting range of the opponent's crossbowmen, and the damage would definitely be great. But Liu Guoneng believed that it was worthwhile. As long as they could reach the top of the city, the sacrifice of the musketeers would be meaningful.
The soldiers had no doubts about the military orders. Even though it contained huge risks, the musketeers still approached the city wall without hesitation. Although they were protected by shield bearers, people continued to fall in the face of overwhelming projectiles.
, the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army continued to suppress the defenders at the top of the city at the cost of their lives. It was the bows and arrows they fired in time that gave the attackers a chance to breathe.
Pushkin saw a loophole in the city's defense, so he took out a flying claw from his waist and accurately hooked it onto the battlement. Then his bear-like body grabbed the flying claw rope and ran up quickly.
