The Peasant Rebel Army is mainly composed of two factions. One is the Holy Grail Faction, which is mainly composed of the middle class and small and medium-sized nobles. The other is the Tabor Faction, which is composed of lower-class working people. The Tabor Faction is actually the only

It was the main force of the rebel army, because at any time and in any era, there were the most people working day and night at the lower level. Then under the leadership of the most famous Czech commander, John Jaška, the rebel army soon developed.

With an army of more than 60,000 people, and because everyone has the same purpose, they are all full of anger and want to overthrow the rule of the church, and they are led by the most famous generals, so this is a well-equipped and well-trained army.

A new type of army with very strict discipline.

The king of the Czech Republic learned about the birth of this new type of army, and even more understood that at this time, civilians and small and medium-sized nobles had begun to rebel, and their senior leaders were basically extravagant and extravagant, so the army was very weak.

One of them offended the entire country, and then the Czech king knew that he was doomed this time, so he died of being frightened!

So the German Emperor Sigismund announced at this time that he would also serve as the King of the Czech Republic. After all, he couldn’t let the fat piece of Czech country escape from his mouth completely, right? In fact, the German Emperor’s approach seems to us to be

They want the meat of the Czech Kingdom, but this is not the case in the eyes of the Czech people, because after all, the German emperor is only the German emperor. Now the German emperor has become their Czech emperor, so has their Czech country also become Germany?

Where is the country? This is actually the German emperor deliberately annexing their Czech Kingdom. This situation has made the farmers even more angry!

Pope Martin V of Rome and German Emperor Sigismund immediately organized a Crusade to suppress the uprising. In 1421, the Crusaders began to advance towards the city of Prague to defeat the rebels. In order to deal with the strength of the Crusaders

The cavalry and commander of the rebel army, Jeschka, formed a formation in the fields outside Prague. He also developed a set of chariot fortress-style tactics, which is to surround the chariots in many circular positions in the fields.

The tanks are connected together with iron chains, and the tanks are equipped with artillery and armor. The tanks are surrounded by the infantry to withstand the impact of the enemy's cavalry, so that the artillery can directly attack the enemy.

After the formation was arranged, Jessica ordered people to dig a deep ditch in front of the battle formation and camouflaged it.

At this time, the Crusader cavalry began to attack the rebels. All of a sudden, the knights in the front row of the Crusaders fell into the camouflaged trench, and the Crusader knights who rushed into the rebel position were blocked.

After reaching the outside of the chariot, the tomahawks and spears in their hands could not hurt the enemies inside. The current circles caused the Crusader cavalry formation to be divided. At this time, the rebels used bows, arrows, and artillery to attack.

The enemy outside the circle. The infantry in the north of the chariot looked for opportunities through the gaps to pull the enemy off their horses with hooks, and then shot them with bows, arrows and spears.

After the knights in heavy armor fell off their horses, it became very difficult to move. They were either killed by hooks or shot to death by artillery. Soon, there were not many knights left who invaded the position. When the cavalry behind the Crusaders saw this, they immediately

They were preparing to retreat, but the rebel cavalry that had been ambushing them took advantage of the situation and blocked their way. At this time, the chains on the chariot were also put away, and the rebels in the chariot formation rushed out to pursue them. The Crusaders were attacked from both sides.

, there was chaos in an instant, and in the end the rebels directly annihilated the Crusaders in one fell swoop! There were corpses everywhere, and in the extremely strong smell of blood, the rebels cheered their victory. Although many of them also died, at least they

A true victory.

In the subsequent sieges, the rebels won successive victories by relying on the tactics of chariots and fortresses. On October 11, 1424, Commander Jashka died of illness.

At this time, it began to grow stronger, and under the leadership of the new commander, it began to counterattack, all the way to Germany. This also caused a lot of psychological pressure on the entire German high-level, and even on the German civilians.

, which caused real fear.

It is not difficult for us to see from here that if this situation develops, the rebel army must have won, because the entire people's hearts are on the side of the rebel army, and the army has been growing. On the contrary, the strength of the German emperor and the church has been declining sharply.

Because the German emperor and the pope were exploiters, their armies had always been obtained by force. This was completely different from the rebel army in terms of quality, or the psychology of the soldiers going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Two things.

That is to say, just when everyone thought that the rebel army would definitely win, and it was also when the rebel army was winning one after another, a split occurred within the rebel army. Let's take a look at what's going on. The middle class of the Holy Grail sect

During the war, the small and medium-sized nobles gradually replaced the German nobles in the Czech Republic and took control of the city. In this way, these Holy Grail people can be said to have achieved the purpose of their uprising, which is to continue to sit

In the aristocratic class, they will continue to exploit the common people and use the wealth created by the common people to support their extravagant and extravagant lives. Therefore, these Holy Grail nobles are afraid that the rebel army will continue to grow. In this case

Then they, the nobles, cannot exploit the civilians, so they really hope that the war will stop.

The Pope of Rome and the Emperor of Germany found that the current force could not suppress the rebels at all, because the military force obtained by their own compulsory conscription could not defeat the rebels at all, so the Pope and the German Emperor began to win over and divide the entire uprising.

Army ranks.

So far, this has caused the Holy Grail faction to betray the uprising, because the purpose of their uprising is to return to the status of the nobility and continue to exploit the common people. In fact, strictly speaking, they are not betraying the uprising, but the purpose of their uprising and

Peasants were different. Then the Holy Grail faction joined forces with the German emperor's army to jointly suppress the rebels. Because both the German emperor and the pope promised them nobility, after the uprising was suppressed, they would continue to be nobility.

So all of a sudden, the uprising war was not conducive to the civilian side. The Roman Pope and the German Emperor, plus the current Czech nobles, in order to destroy the rebel army's chariot and fortress tactics, they induced the rebel army to take the initiative to attack them.

, and sent cavalry to raid from the flanks. Procope, the leader of the rebel army, was killed in the battle, and the rebel army was completely defeated.

It is not difficult to see from here that only civilians want to save themselves, and as long as they are able to exploit civilians, they will not think about saving civilians at all. What they care about is their extravagant, lustful and even extravagant debauchery.

The life of the Czech Republic continued, and in this uprising war, we can also say that the Czech nobles were originally exploited by the church to the point where they could not continue their high-quality life. This also indirectly caused the Czech nobles to be more cruel to the Czech civilians.

, but in the end the Czech nobles borrowed the hands of the Czech civilians and returned to their status. In the process, the civilians suffered numerous casualties and corpses were everywhere. In the end, they were still enslaved by the senior officials. So if

According to the ideological point of view of us civilians, this uprising suffered extremely heavy losses, and it also failed!

But from a large perspective, this war also dealt a relatively heavy blow to the Pope and the German power, and was of very important historical significance to the entire Czech Kingdom. This was especially because of the combat strategy adopted by Commander Ješka before, which was to

The use of vehicle fortifications and artillery were all innovations and developments in the history of Europe at this time.

In fact, this kind of innovation and development of artillery attacks on people will really bring more terrible disasters to our entire world. I believe we don’t need to talk about this kind of thing, because we simply can’t imagine what modern warfare is like.

.

Next, let’s take a look at the Hundred Years War between England and France during this period. Although we mentioned it before, we did not conduct a more detailed analysis. Now let’s take a closer look.

And I think we still have to understand this matter from the beginning. In the eleventh century, after William conquered England and became the King of England, through marriage and inheritance, the King of England occupied a very vast land in France. As for how William obtained the King of England

Throne, haven't we talked about it very carefully before? It was William who first got the tacit approval, and finally took the Holy Flag of the Pope and led an army of more than 6,000 people to burn, kill and loot the British.

He replenished his army's resources, defeated the British army, and finally became the British king.

And now the war is still going on, and it is precisely because the British king has always occupied a very vast land in France, which has led to dissatisfaction among the French high-level officials. Since the 12th century, France has gradually taken back some of the areas occupied by the British. Of course, it has also

Violence is being withdrawn. After all, everything about us humans is linked to war. In other words, the development of things will eventually lead to war. There is no other way but war.

Now France is indeed using war, which killed many British soldiers and many French soldiers, and finally recovered a lot of land. However, the French high-level officials feel that this is not enough, and they must recover all the land occupied by the British in France.

That is to say, they are trying to completely expel the British from their French territory, which makes the conflict between France and Britain very intense. For Britain, this is like meat in its own bowl, and
Chapter completed!
