Chapter 38 The Prague Spring

~Date: ~October 22~

The Norman Empire is invincible and will continue to win. When General Ess came to the city called Prague, he thought to himself: Now, it will be time for me to establish merit for the empire and to serve the Lord's kindness! (Egil is one of the few people who can still resist vomiting after seeing General Ess. Thanks to the influence of the noble ladies and wives of the Brutalists in various banquet times)

In this way, the general who claimed to be the best at attacking the empire began his plan, a plan that was enough to wipe out the 40,000 defenders in Prague.

"There are no rivers here, and it is not rainy now. So the method of water attack is basically impossible. If you use the regular attack method, the casualties may be a bit large. Authentic, earthen mountains, inner response and other methods are too slow and may not work... Well, use that. A terrifying weapon that makes the enemy scared."

When the Norman army arrived at the city of Prague and set up camp, General Carl and General Wallenstein were relatively speechless. The thought was almost the same: Finally, it came.

"The other party did not attack the city at the first time. It didn't look like the style of that monster." After looking for a while, General Carl turned his head and said to General Wallenstein.

"Indeed, I originally thought that according to the character of that monster, I would rush over at the first time and hit the head of Prague and burst into blood." General Wallenstein also said.

It seems that both generals are in a good mood. I guess they are very confident about the outcome of the war. They believe that relying on the high and deep city of Prague can defeat the Norman army, and this annoying army.

So, on the first day, the next day, and the next two weeks, the Man Empire sent out a group of infantry and carried out a feint attack on the second day. No action was taken against Prague, which made the Prague defenders feel inexplicable. The ordinary soldiers below were just as relaxed. However, the two coalition generals on the top had to be worried and suspicious.

The general in the mayor's residence discussed for a long time, but he was unable to discuss the reason. Although there were many speculations, it could not be confirmed. There was no other effect except to increase depression. After talking for a long time, General Carl slapped the table and said nonsense: "That monster must be planning some conspiracy!"

General Wallenstein felt speechless and secretly complained: "Nonsense..." but he heard General Carl continue to say: "It is very simple to know what the other party has. As long as we take the initiative to attack, we will know!"

"Do you take the initiative to attack..." Hearing General Carl say this, General Wallenstein hesitated for a moment and nodded: "If the deadlock can be broken, it is not impossible... just... if it fails..."

"How can we know if we will succeed if we don't try it? Besides, our army has a total of 40,000. Even if we lose a little, it is not a big deal!" General Carl continued to say this. General Wallenstein nodded again.

"Then that's it. Tonight, I will lead the Hungarian cavalry to attack. You will do your job of supporting the situation. If you win, you will lead the army to attack. If you fail, please support me. Let the enemy not have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"I know, you should be careful." Wallenstein nodded and said yes.

So, the general carefully discussed the specific details of the night attack. Then he took action separately. General Carl went to find the hired Hungarian cavalry to promote morale and asked these guys to work hard for themselves. General Wallenstein checked the city defense again and prepared the army to respond. He also needed to increase the city's garrison to prevent the opponent from attacking in the chaos...

So busy until the evening, the Hungarian cavalry had a good meal and had a little cultivation. When the sun set completely, it was a very dark and windy month. It was suitable for killing and setting fire at night ≤ 800 elite cavalrymen covered the horse's hooves with a layer of hay to prevent the horse's hooves from being too loud and attracting the attention of the enemy. Then they opened the city gate, left without saying a word, and carefully.

The eight hundred cavalrymen did not sound at all, and slowly arrived next to the Norman camp. General Carl saw from a distance that he lit a few torches at the gate of the camp. On the watchtower, the Norman infantry who should have been closely guarded were sleeping.

"God bless." Seeing this scene, General Carl became excited - this time, he probably won! When he thought about it, he seemed to have a sudden strength. Without hesitation, he pulled out his sword from his waist and roared: "Charge! Attack! Kill those Normans!!!"

After this roar, the Hungarian cavalry, who had already been unable to bear it, also started to cheer. They immediately increased their horse speed to the fastest and rushed towards the Norman camp!

"Has it been successful?!" At the top of Prague, General Wallenstein could not help but think of this when he saw the sudden sound of the Norman Camp.

——However, just as the Hungarian cavalry rushed to the front of Norman camp—suddenly, the front row of Hungarian cavalry felt that the horse under his crotch was suddenly stepped on the air, and the ground collapsed! Under the floating soil on the surface was a trench with sharp wooden stakes arranged like the teeth of evil beasts! Under the influence of gravity, nearly a hundred Hungarian cavalry in the front row fell down suddenly, and the people and horses were pierced by these wooden stakes. The screams immediately overshadowed the shouts when they charged!

Immediately afterwards, the Norman Empire's tent was suddenly overturned ≈ heavy crossbows, crossbows, muskets, and longbows Norman soldiers rushed out of the tent. The wooden fence at the front of the tent was also pulled down, leaving no more cover between the Norman soldiers and the Hungarian cavalry!

"Train!" At this moment, even the stupidest person knew what was going on. General Carl's heart hopped up and saw the man he called "monster" under the dim torch light source.

"I originally wanted to catch a big fish, but I didn't expect that only some small shrimps would take the bait... However, the size of the meat is also a piece of meat..." General Ershi snorted and waved his hand: "Start!"

With the order of the general, thousands of crossbows and fires shot at the Hungarians continuously! Although under the dim firelight, people's vision was not very good. However, such a close distance was such a large target for the cavalry. So it was not difficult to shoot. Under a round of arrows, nearly one-third of the Hungarians suffered casualties!

"attack!!!"

If another unit was replaced at this time, it would have been a long time since then. However, these Hungarians were extremely fierce. They could continue to fight in such a situation and had extremely strong offensiveness. Some of the cavalrymen watched the trench pass by only one meter wide. Although the crossbow on the opposite side was fierce, as long as they could rush to the nearest place, they were their home court!

Thinking of this, the Hungarians roared again and charged towards the Norman camp!

"It is worthy of being the Hungarian cavalry, brave." General Ershi admired this. Then, with a feeling of appreciating art, he watched the scene of these brave Hungarians being wiped out under the rain of arrows on their own side, but could not make progress - such a close distance was enough for General Ershi to form five to six rows of long-range troops under his command to ensure that the firepower output will not be interrupted.

At the front row were the musketeers with the closest range, and in the back row were the crossbowmen and behind four heavy crossbowmen. The longbowmen used a scattered array to replenish firepower by shooting around and behind this echelon. Under such arrangement, hundreds of Hungarian cavalry who dared to attack, these light-armored cavalrymen who were barely shirtless, could almost be said to have none of them could rush to the Normans and were all shot and killed.

"Retreat!" Under such circumstances, sneak attacks were meaningless. Even though General Carl was dissatisfied, he could do nothing. With a sound of retreat, he turned his head and fled with the remaining Hungarian cavalry. But he had no idea that the Normans still kept their back wings and rushed out suddenly. When they raised the cavalry crossbow and attacked the Hungarian soldiers, they had another round of crossbow arrows. The light-mounted archers behind them also killed many Hungarian cavalry.

“Retreat quickly!!”

Seeing the enemy chasing him, General Carl was terrified and shouted immediately. The Hungarian cavalry behind him had been chased and was slashed by the mad dog-like Norman Hussars. However, they slightly held the Norman Hussars and the time they had won was completely insufficient. Look at the city of Prague is already in front of them. But before escaping back to the city of Prague, their less than 200 remaining soldiers would probably be killed by the enemy!

At this moment, the city gate of Prague suddenly opened. A number of heavy knights roared and killed them, allowing the escaped Hungarian cavalry to collided with the Norman Hussars to violently collide with heavy weapons such as maces and warhammers to be astonishing combat effectiveness. The Norman Hussars were not equipped with heavy weapons because they were chasing them. Therefore, they were suddenly seized by the opponent.

"Retreat." Seeing that they could not gain any advantage, the cavalry commander decided to retreat. After whistling, the Hussars quickly left their enemies, turned their horses, and ran without looking back. Although the heavy-armed knights had amazing combat power, their speed was not as fast as the Hussars. Therefore, they were powerless.

"Thank you so much." Back in Prague, General Carl looked at General Wallenstein in military uniform at the city gate, blushed a little, then lowered his head and thanked him like this...
