Chapter 1184 Emperor Level, Charlie the Hammer
"Your Majesty, I was defeated by the Teutonic Knights, so I returned to Smolensk. Please punish me!"
The Cossack general Yermak knelt in front of Catherine, extremely pious.
The Cossack cavalry was a sharp sword in the hands of the Tsar, and many Cossack generals and cavalry enthusiastically supported the Tsar.
"They have more than a million troops. It's not your fault that you were defeated by them."
Ekaterina's tone was calm, and there was no sign of excitement or nervousness.
As a Tsar, one should always maintain grace.
As the Crusaders pressed on, Catherine was the last person in the Russian Empire to panic.
The Holy Roman Empire sent millions of troops, and the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Poland each sent hundreds of thousands of troops. In fact, the number of Crusaders attacking Smolensk reached an astonishing two million.
The Holy Roman Empire currently covers the German region, the Grand Duchy of Austria, the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary and other places. These heroes of civilization were almost wiped out by the Hohenzollern.
The Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Poland are not weak. Their representative arms are the French knights and the Polish hussars respectively.
The upcoming Battle of Smolensk involved two emperors and two kings.
Hohenzollern, escorted by a group of black-shirted knights, marched together with King Louis of France and King Jagiełło of Poland.
Hohenzollern established the "Order of the Dragon" that only monarchs, vassals, nobles, and brave men could join. King Jagiełło of Poland joined the Order of the Dragon, wearing a burning cross connected end to end on his chest. dragon emblem on.
Although King Louis of France was not very willing to let the Holy Roman Empire host the Crusades, the environment of the Kingdom of France was not very good. To the east was the unified and peak Holy Roman Empire, to the south was the orthodox Roman Empire, and to the west was half The Kingdom of Spain is at its peak, and to the north is the Kingdom of England, which dominates the ocean.
The Kingdom of France, which was caught in the middle, would have to bear pressure from three other directions if it went to war with any country.
So Louis was forced to join the Crusaders and the Order of the Dragon to maintain the balance of the Western Continent.
"No one can completely conquer Ross, but this time, we are the exception."
As the grand leader of the Dragon Knights, Hohenzollern is high-spirited.
Alexander was busy expanding to the east, and the three emperors of the Roman Empire were colonizing North Africa. Only German civilization could dominate the west.
Louis was a little afraid of the generals around Hohenzollern.
The Knights Templar and Teutonic Knights appeared on the outskirts of Smolensk, and Catherine's army built a large number of earth fortresses, arrow towers, watchtowers, and ballistae on the outskirts of Smolensk, mainly for defense. , delaying time.
Countless cavalry appeared in Yekaterina's sight. Yekaterina's face turned pale. When she came to a watchtower in front, she could see more than a million Crusaders appearing.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to assemble such a large force in the era of cold weapons. However, in "Lord", the recruitment speed is very fast, there is a teleportation array to shorten the route, and the population is large. It is not reluctant to assemble an army of one million.
"The French Knights Templar, the German Teutonic Knights, the Polish Hussars...siege equipment poses a greater threat to Smolensk..."
Catherine could be seen among the crusaders,
The siege tower more than ten meters high cast a shadow, covering dozens of heavy armored infantry.
In addition to elite cavalry, the Crusaders also had a large number of heavy infantry, which combined with siege equipment put tremendous pressure on Catherine as the defender.
If the knights of the Knights Templar and Teutonic Knights dismount and use the lance instead of the knight's sword as their main combat weapon, they can be regarded as heavy infantry.
The bright flags of the Crusaders were waved, as well as the royal flags of various kingdoms and the regimental flags of the Dragon Knights.
Thirteen large siege towers were erected and pushed to the front, facing the city wall of Smolensk.
Thirteen is not a lucky number.
In addition to siege towers, ballistae and counterweight trebuchets also appeared one after another.
The Crusaders decided to storm the fortress west of Moscow!
This is the most direct and straightforward method, and it also prevents Yekaterina from taking any tricks.
The two sides can only fight head-on!
"Harald, Sharuch, each of you will lead a team of elites to resist the Crusaders on the front line."
Ekaterina deployed a Viking berserker hero and a Chinese general on a battlefield, allowing them to defeat the Crusaders with their amazing force.
"yes!"
The two battle axes in Harald's hands collided, making a scalp-numbing sound.
"Listen and obey!"
Sharuch held a spear and fought alongside Harald.
"The enemy this time is very strong..."
Ekaterina checked the hero rankings and based on the intelligence she collected, she clearly knew that Hohenzollern, Louis, and Jagiełło were one emperor and two kings. Each lord had strong generals under his command.
"Charlie Hammer? Who recruited this guy?"
Catherine saw a royal hero, Charles "The Hammer", the Prime Minister of the Frankish Kingdom.
The lords of France, Germany and other civilized areas may recruit heroes from the Frankish Kingdom that disappeared in history, because the Frankish Kingdom is the predecessor of these civilized areas.
If Europe in the Middle Ages can be compared to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, then the Frankish Kingdom was the Jin Kingdom. It was once the overlord. Later, the three kingdoms were divided into the Jin Dynasty and formed the Wei Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, and South Korea.
Charles "The Hammer" was the Prime Minister of the Frankish Kingdom and the grandfather of Charlemagne. During the Great Conquest of the Arab Empire, the Arabs conquered Spain and then marched into the Frankish Kingdom. As the Prime Minister of the Frankish Kingdom, Charles attacked the Frankish Kingdom during the battle. The incoming Arab cavalry was driven back, and the leader of the Arab army was killed, thus changing the fate of Europe. Otherwise, Europe's beliefs might have changed.
This was a big man who had epic victories and changed the history of a continent. Like Cao Cao, he was only the palace minister of the Frankish Kingdom throughout his life, and only his descendants truly usurped the throne.
"Charlie the Hammer is either under the command of Hohenzollern, then he is under the command of Louis...Louis and the Paladin Roland..."
Ekaterina knew she had no advantage.
Hohenzollern is looking for the first batch of candidates to attack Smolensk.
Dozens of core generals stood in front of the Hohenzollern. Among them were the leaders of the Teutonic Knights, the Knights of the Sword, the Black Shirt Knights, and many princes of the Holy Roman Empire.
A military general said: "Please let me lead the troops and defeat the Russians."
"Charlie Hammer, take Smolensk as soon as possible and God will bless you."
"Definitely lives up to expectations."
There was something resolute in Hammer Charlie's eyes.
The Holy Roman Empire sent 200,000 troops, while the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Poland each sent 100,000 troops to launch a test attack on Smolensk.
Charles the Hammer rode a war horse and led an army of 200,000 people from the Holy Roman Empire to slowly move towards Smolensk. The Kingdom of France sent the commander-in-chief of the Hundred Years War, "The Eagle of Brittany" Bertrand du Guiclin, Poland. The kingdom sent Jan Sobieski, the "Lion of Lichstan", but each of them was not a good person.
"In less than three days we can have tea in Smolensk."
"There are only a few months left in the cold winter. It's better to push forward as soon as possible. I don't want to repeat Napoleon's failure."
"All-out attack."
The Crusaders' trebuchets and ballistae began to bombard the earthen fortresses and arrow towers on the outskirts of Smolensk!
The 200,000 soldiers and horses behind Charlie Hammer launched attacks one after another!
Xia Luqi, a fierce general from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, led a group of cavalry and looked to the southeast. The army of the Holy Roman Empire was coming overwhelmingly, carrying the flag of the Holy Roman Empire.
The Teutonic Knights and the Black Shirt Knights were still waiting for the opportunity. It was the infantry, two-handed swordsmen, and archers who launched the attack.
The boulder thrown by the trebuchet fell next to Sharucci, and a Cossack cavalry was instantly killed by the boulder!
"They're using trebuchets!"
The Cossack cavalry couldn't help but exclaimed.
The trebuchet bombarded with all its strength, and dense stones were thrown high into the sky!
"war!"
Xia Ruqi shook his spear. As a fierce general who served in Eastern Europe, he faced generals from the three major civilizations.
