Tang Qi Tan

Flying into the sky together, there are also short spears, javelins and throwing axes thrown like raindrops; then it is like a huge flower petal that spreads out on the ground, weapons and human body intersect, and loses support in an instant and splits its head He slammed on the crowd who gathered around him.

For a time, everywhere Jiang Tian passed by was full of people lying on their backs and mourning; the half-dead, even brittle and rotten human bodies were smashed, and the wounded were pierced by scattered weapons on the ground, struggling and crying, but could not be lost immediately; It's a ring inside of one, scattered around him.

Although, because the self-upgrade/transformation of the "Dimensional Bubble" module has not been completed, and the "time-space hole" function is temporarily unusable; causing him to lose an important means of large-scale destruction.But Jiang Tian still has enough confidence and means to deal with these traditional troops.

However, at the next moment, some of the noble cavalry gathered under the banner of the silver-bordered deer head, led by dozens of magnificent Saxon knights, launched a decisive charge towards the river without hesitation; Several leaf-shaped spear points like forests were stabbed in front of him.

At the same time, Jiang Tian, ​​who was like a stroll in the garden amidst thousands of troops, finally drew out his saber, which he had almost never used.It was a pale bone-colored stabbing sword. The moment it was exposed to the air, it suddenly expanded and extended into a moon-bladed halberd, which swung out with lightning and flint.

It was like slicing through a thin sheet of paper, cutting through the thick plate armor, chain lining and armor of the knights in the front row, as well as the well-trained body.It turned from the tip of the blade into a light blood line that spread; wherever it passed, whether it was the horse's head, arms, thighs, or torso, they were all broken out of thin air.

Not a single drop of blood flowed from the severed part; all bones, muscles and organs became pale as waxy; it seemed as if all the blood and vitality were sucked out along the sharp blade in an instant.And Jiang Tian also faintly felt the tendency of joy, desire and excitement emanating from the weapon in his hand;
Dozens of Saxon knights/cavalry rushing forward in a blink of an eye, even their horses and men turned into broken limbs and fragments; while the other cavalry who were so horrified that they rushed forward, deflected like a torrent. The horse's head wanted to avoid the invisible range; but the horse and the man lost control and flew away.

As these cavalry charges collapsed in an instant, they were once again exposed in front of Jiang Tian, ​​and they were gathered in a short period of time, wearing heavy plate armor and hooded guards, and the same thick and abnormal square shield like a wall; almost surrounded and blocked Clinging to the big silver-edged deer head flag standing in the air.

However, Jiang Tian just stretched out his hand towards them, grasped and hammered heavily in the distance; in an instant, several large shields exploded on the overlapping shield wall; the guards exposed inside were hammered down by invisible forces , rolled into a ball, and forcibly blasted a gap in the shield wall.

The next moment, Jiang Tian suddenly kicked the earth and rocks on the ground and splashed and flew like an artillery bombardment. The enemy soldiers who surrounded him again were shocked and scattered, and they slammed into them like lightning and flint.After the movement of the entire shield formation stopped for a few breaths, it exploded in the center with blood dripping and stumps flying.

However, most of the splashed blood rain had not had time to fly far, and under the traction of some invisible force, it regrouped on the pale halberd in Jiang Tian's hand; in fact, it absorbed so much flesh and blood After that, the weapon became paler and sharper.

Until the next moment, he was blocked by an ancient big sword that was swung in front of him; however, at the same time as Jiang Tian attacked one after another, this sword looked very burly, and he was wearing a Western Empire-style plate armor with a head on his head. The enemy general wearing a pointed helmet also retreated endlessly after being beaten continuously.

In the end, he was sunk in the mud below his knees, and the scarred ancient sword in his hand snapped and flew away with a whine of being overwhelmed.But Jiang Tian is not interested in making up for him anymore.Because from his pointed-billed helmet shaped like a duck face, several streaks of thick black blood flowed out.

However, after the desperate obstruction of this enemy general, the suspected presence of the enemy general under the banner of the silver-edged deer head had already taken off his cloak and tasseled helmet, surrounded by the remaining guards, and galloped away with all his might.Only the Lushou Banner was left lying on the ground and trampled back and forth.

Just when Jiang Tian gave up and chased after him, and picked up the silver-edged deer head flag covered with mud again. "For my king" and "WAAAAAAAGH", the roar and shouts of killing came from behind Jiang Tian, ​​as well as the roar of firearms and the explosion of bombs, but the guard company caught up.

And at the same time when the masked silver-edged deer head flag was brought down, captured again and displayed in the air; the majority of the Saxon Principality Army, which was fighting endlessly in the remaining battlefield, also began to shake and collapse in pieces ; However, the direction in which they can escape and retreat has been blocked.

Most of the soldiers could only flee in an uproar to the other side of the north of the main road, where the Royal Army was relatively rare in the swamp and reeds; then they panicked and fell into puddles and mud one after another; Wails and cries, cries for help.

Compared with these ordinary Saxon soldiers, it was the hundreds of white frost wolves and more than a thousand armed lycanthropes who fought with them all the time, who persisted in fighting until the end; Frostwolf, the special ability is not endless after all.

Therefore, after being blocked and weakened by the tightly stacked shields one after another, and losing the initial suddenness, the special attack knight with fire-breathing equipment and the grenadier who accurately threw incendiary bombs succeeded. The restraint and confinement of these hairy and weak fire beasts.

And without the cooperation of these frost-breathing beasts, it would be easier to deal with those beast soldiers.The fierce and fearless physique that exploded in a short period of time; the spears and halberds that surrounded the battle formation on all sides pierced and chopped, and the muskets in the back row fired, and they couldn't last long under the bombardment of grenades.

When night falls again.In the wilderness outside Lieyang City, only the lights and voices of people chasing and capturing prisoners remained.Of course, this battle was also a series of battles after the first army led by Jiang Tian went northward. It was the most strenuous and costly battle.

After being defeated and defeated successively, the 4000 troops of the North Rhine Union and the [-] soldiers of the Principality of Saxony; the Royal Army also suffered more than [-] casualties; almost one-third of the First Army; Losses to the armies of the Dutch princes who fought in concert.

Although, in the end, he could not be caught in the pursuit, the younger brother of the Grand Duke of Saxony and the Marquis of Brunswick, the commander of the Saxon army; but he was captured in the battle under the city of Liege. Root, Bach, Magdeburg and other six princes and lords.

Nearly [-] people were captured in North Rhine and Saxony, and the captured equipment piled up like mountains; but countless equipment and ammunition were also wasted.Therefore, the First Army rested on the spot in Liege for five days, waiting for the replenishment of troops and supplies from the rear, and at the same time rewarding and punishing the army of the princes of the Netherlands.

For example, Prince Nisit, who persisted in fighting to the end, and the army of the Countess of Vermanduis under his leadership; received the priority of selecting trophies and supplementary equipment; as well as a reward of [-] ecu; The Counties of Hainault and Ertinore were punished.

Not only was the general in command of the army removed in public, and a corresponding amount of fines was imposed; he was also assigned to the Vermandois army as a subordinate in coordinated operations.However, just as the rear munitions supply and replenishment companies arrived; envoys from the North Rhine Union also appeared in Liege.

On the one hand, it is hoped that in the negotiation, in accordance with the traditional practice, the six defeated and captured princes/lords and their surviving subordinates can be redeemed at the price of corresponding money; Reach some degree of truce and withdrawal agreement.

Of course, according to the diplomatic rhetoric of the other party, this military action against the princes and kingdoms of the Netherlands did not actually get the approval of the chief executive officer and the unanimous consent of the joint meeting of the princes and city-states; Local jihads advocated and launched.

But the envoy of the North Rhine United also brought two unexpected news to Jiang Tian: first, the Marquis of Brunswick, the commander of the Saxon army, who fled all the way west to the North Rhine United territory, was detained on the spot.Secondly, the Holy See of Rome issued the excommunication order in the previous month.

Declares the newly established government of the Kingdom of Sealand and the Tulip Dynasty as usurpers of unorthodox jurisprudence and noble blood; a gang of apostates allied with heresy.Therefore, any king, prince, or lord bathed in the glory of God represented by the universal church has an obligation to crusade.

In this way, the series of events that happened in the kingdom before, and the many questions that arise from them, seem to be able to be explained.Whether it is the Earl of Trier who is trying to stand on his own in the northern provinces; or the Three Kingdoms of Brabant who are taking advantage of the situation, or the North Rhine and Saxony who are trying to invade.

It can be said that they all came from the same behind-the-scenes manipulator, or that it was the universal church supported by the Western Empire that had this ability to try to disrupt the Kingdom of Newland.Of course, Jiang Tian, ​​who has verified his guess at this moment, just wants to repeat a famous saying of the Fourth Uncle: "How many teachers does the Holy See have!"

However, in retrospect, the Holy See/Universal Church in this time and space really has special armed guards and troops under its name, as well as several bishop states scattered on the Western Continent.For example, the Aachen bishopric/neighborhood that I met on the battlefield before is obviously a typical representative of it.

Of course, as a commercially developed area in the north of the Western Continent, the North Rhine Union is willing to take corresponding responsibilities for this; and provide a total of 40 pounds of gold and [-] dinars (silver coins) in exchange for the full understanding of the Kingdom of Sealand , to avoid more unnecessary conflicts and losses.

And on this basis, the North Rhine Union also showed its businessman style.It even proposed to seek to re-sign a commercial and trade agreement with the princes of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Sealand; and a subsequent military mutual assistance treaty to jointly fight against the invasion of the Norman barbarian countries and the threat of the Hesse (Germanic) alliance.

Whether or not much of what the North Rhine Union says is true.But Jiang Tian also understood one thing, he had to return home as a teacher.As the universal church that has long been believed by the subjects in the kingdom, although it has been severely weakened and suppressed, its potential influence is still there.

With the excommunication of the Holy See, the newly-born kingdom's political power will inevitably usher in a new round of turmoil and chaos.
