Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice is a matter of course.
Generally speaking, any army can be proud of being able to obtain a battle loss ratio of six to one when attacking the enemy's prepared positions.
However, Freya was Not enough. otbnkotgt Those are rubbish, rubbish, rubbish and rubbish conscripts.
We are an elite standing cavalry corps, outnumbered six to one.
But when it comes to military strength and the cost of building an army, the empire is definitely at a disadvantage.
When she thought of this, Freya felt like her heart was being cut by a knife.
What a bastard, what the hell is this.
The Russian Gothic Empire was such a great empire and had such a powerful army.
Under the command of such a powerful commander as Wilhelm von Hereford, the imperial army was simply unparalleled.
No matter what kind of battlefield it was, no matter what kind of situation it faced.
The enemy can do it with ease.
However, the imperial army, the same imperial army, in William's hands can win even against more powerful opponents, but in her hands it is not so smooth to use, as if something is missing.
Even worse is the record.
Compared with William's record of winning almost every battle, Freya was far behind.
Just like this battle now But of course, in fact, perhaps only Freya would think so.
She felt that the cavalry legion of the imperial army was at a disadvantage when fighting against seven or eight legions of Visigoths at an exchange ratio of one to six.
In fact, almost no one thinks like her.
Seeing that the troops of the Russian Gothic Empire were surrounded and defended by several times their own forces, they were still able to attack as hard as if they were in no man's land.
The speed of the attack hardly slowed down.
The Visigoths on the opposite side said that they were hesitant.
Maybe it's a bit exaggerated, but it's definitely scary to death.
At the same time, seeing how powerful the friendly forces were, the morale of the Briton garrison was also greatly boosted.
Under the circumstances, the battle to seize the central fortress became more brutal, and the ending became more simple and confusing.
It is even said that the vast majority of the Russian Gothic Empire's own army, soldiers and officers also felt that this war would end with their own victory.
They did see the death of friendly troops around them, but in comparison, What they saw more was, as expected, the enemy's collapse and large numbers of deaths.
More importantly, they are the elite of the Russian Gothic Empire, and they are the pride of the empire.
They deserve to have the strongest morale and training in the world.
It may be a slight exaggeration to say that they fought to the last soldier, but about 3,000 of an army of 20,000 were killed.
Although this was considered a serious loss, it definitely did not lower the morale of the cavalry regiment.
On the contrary, it allowed The ferocity and murderous intent of these powerful soldiers of the Russian Gothic Empire were even more aroused.
That's it, that's it.
For a time, this army created by embodying the essence of the empire was unstoppable.
"Damn it, damn it, invest more troops and destroy all these enemies no matter what" “Do you really want to do this?”
"We have lost too many troops.
I think we need to adjust our strategies and tactics against the enemy."
"Yes, I think we should retreat first and wait for the enemy to reveal his flaws."
"What you say is irresponsible and a betrayal of the revolution.
You must be elements lurking in the revolutionary ranks."
"You are the molecule and your whole family is the molecule."
That's almost it.
After the cavalry regiments of the Russian Gothic Empire dealt a major blow to them, the Visigothic generals were also desperately thinking and debating whether to continue fighting or to retreat temporarily to avoid the edge.
These two arguments were at a stalemate among the generals, but in the end, the more revolutionary ideas and tactics prevailed.
Although this will cause more terrible casualties, it doesn't matter, they all sacrificed for the great Visigoth Revolution, and their sacrifices are valuable.
Of course However, in fact, the troops on the front line did not think so, especially after Freya stabilized the army and concentrated their artillery again.
After withstanding too much pressure from the enemy troops, the mounted infantry units began to retreat backwards and entered the second line of defense, shrinking the line of defense and turning the originally two-shaped defense line into an n-shaped defense line.

Now Freya has adjusted her policy.
Either they must completely overwhelm the enemy, or at least force them back, or else they must be defeated and retreat.
The originally planned tactic of inflicting enough damage on the enemy and then returning the same way has been declared bankrupt.
After this news was sent back to the east defense line of Rotterdam by the messengers who desperately fought their way out of the siege, they had already switched defenses with the levy army and were still holding on.
The standing army on the front line began to retreat slowly, retreating behind the defense line built by the Imperial Army in one breath.
Because "repelled the enemy's attack."
So the Visigoth army responsible for fighting on the eastern front cheered excitedly for a while.
Of course, it all turned out to be futile and meaningless.
Just as they defeated the Empire's army and cheered, on the other side, the Empire's cavalry almost achieved their tactical goal.
Crashes, crashes, crashes, but otherwise crashes.
Even though they were prepared, they still collapsed.
After the cavalry of the Russian Gothic Empire broke through the fourth legion-level position, of course, the Visigoths began to collapse slightly.
Those who initially collapsed were only some elements who were not firm in their stance and had low combat effectiveness, lurking in the great army.
But soon, these guys caused a chain reaction.
More, bigger crashes occurred.
In such a collapsed situation, the Imperial cavalry was able to sweep the battlefield more easily.
Eventually, even the most stubborn Visigoths had to admit that the imperial army was too powerful.
Even if the opponent is just a legion, it is not something they can compete with and defeat.
Of course, another point is that if the imperial cavalry wants to continue to pursue the victory, or even want to defeat all the opponents, it is impossible.
Although defeated and beginning to retreat, the Visigoth army still maintained its formation, organization and morale.
If you want to take the opportunity to expand the results, it is not impossible, but there will definitely be more troops killed for this.
As I said before, if you are fighting for your own country, then forget it, but if you are fighting for these Britons, it is really not a crime.
And just like that, the battle was over, at least for the time being.
After being repulsed once by the Imperial Cavalry, although the enemy still had an overwhelming strength advantage, with this strength advantage, their troops suffered a large number of casualties, a large number of wounded soldiers, and a large number of weapons and equipment losses.
At the same time as this massive loss was the great fear of the Russian Gothic Empire's army, and the low morale caused by defeat and defeat.
The massive loss of troops also affected the Visigoths' military structure.
All in all, in a short period of time, these Visigoths needed more time to prepare the army, transport supplies, and improve morale.
At least for a short period of time, they had no way to attack the city of Rotterdam.
In this way, the city can be defended, at least for the time being.
The valor and prowess of the Imperial Army is feared by both the Empire's allies and its enemies.
But in addition, it also made those guys who originally wanted to move closer to the empire, that is, the nobles, even more tempted.
Just like Freya said, only such a great empire can protect their property.
Although, it is essential to give them sufficient benefits before protecting it.
As a latecomer, he had to humble himself in the face of the vested interests of the empire.
It would take at least two generations, or even more, to integrate into the upper class society of the empire.
However, even so, it doesn't matter.
As long as there is hope.
The current situation is much better than the world about to be occupied by evil revolutionaries, and these poor guys will be sent to the guillotine together, isn't it?
That's what happened.
In the first half of this year, the series of battles surrounding Frisia came to an end temporarily.
Although the Visigoths had occupied most of Frisian territory, they were of no avail against the heavily defended Rotterdam.
However, at the same time, the Visigoths' military operations in the south were quite smooth.
Their forward troops repeatedly crossed the Alps and entered the warm Lombardy Peninsula in the south.
Although these troops are only a small number, just the vanguard, they still make the Lombards unknown and fearful.
At the same time, with the stability of Lotharnia and Berne, the Visigothic army was preparing to further invade more territory that originally belonged to the Ostrogothic Empire.

Among their targets, it now seems that the Kingdom of Austria, which is probably the most powerful in the empire, and the Kingdom of Bohemia are their targets and opponents.
Of course, this is just their first step.
For revolutionaries who are ambitious enough and ready to drag the entire world into a new era, this is just the first step in changing the world.
That's it, at least for the next ten years, the Visigothic Republic, which has turned into a crazy beast, will be one of the most powerful forces in the world. 160420oshow7:
