Of course, that’s what I think in my heart. otbnkotgt In any case, General Leopold is currently unable to project any influence on the ruling government.
In this case, there is only one way left to prevent this bastard thing from happening.
That is, before reinforcements arrive, all the 200,000 troops standing in front of him will be annihilated.
Damn, hate, hate, hate, hate, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard.
If you think about it for a moment, you will understand how difficult this job is.
What a bastard, bastard.
If there are any bastard things in this world, then General Leopold must bring this matter up as the first bastard thing.
Although it is said that, in fact it is completely useless.
"In other words, compared to complaining here and so on, it is better to attack with real swords and guns.
Fortunately, I am not unprepared."
Thinking of this, General Leopold showed a pleasant smile.
In other words, an evil smile is not impossible.
General Leopold also learned a lot in the process of fighting with William and the army of the Russian Gothic Empire.
For example, the use and coordination of artillery and cavalry.
It is different from the Lombardy Peninsula where army theory, army weapons and equipment, tactics, etc. are still stagnant, and even some areas are still fighting with the very ancient Asturias-like super long phalanx.
Although General Leopold's troops were very inferior in terms of numbers, tactical weapons, and weapons and equipment, their tactics were absolutely, absolutely first-rate.
Everyone must admit this.
It's like this now.
Finally, at the Battle of Rome, General Leopold took advantage of this.
He concentrated all the artillery, even the artillery of the battleships on which his troops were carried This naturally aroused protests from the ships he hired and the captains of the ships from the Visigothic Republic, but he still did it insistently, and as if he was a genius, he put a hat on these poor guys, Kill them all.
This allowed him to gather more than two hundred artillery pieces of various types in the shortest time.
Although it is almost impossible to fire a salvo with such different artillery, the lack of unified range, power, etc. is also a very embarrassing thing.
It is even more troublesome to adjust and arrange artillery positions.
However, General Leopold did it all in the end.
Of course, this is not so much his credit as it is the stupidity of the 200,000 coalition troops on the opposite side.
Because of the large number of people and the large number of troops, they felt that they would win.
Under the influence of this pleasant feeling, the Lombard coalition did not react too quickly when it came to arranging their troops.
Of course, they have too many troops, and they are a coalition of small states.
The difficulty in coordinating them is also the reason why their reaction speed is too slow.
All in all, if General Leopold faced an imperial army, the imperial army would not give him any chance at all.
They will form up as quickly as possible and then annihilate all enemies.
However, they faced a miserable Lombard coalition.
That's it.
More than two hundred artillery pieces of various types were used to launch concentrated attacks and bombardments.
In the shortest possible time, the enemy was caught off guard.
Next, it's time for the cavalry to appear.
Perhaps in modern times, what the Berbers are better at than cavalry and what is more famous is the navy.
Or pirates.
But this does not mean that the Berber cavalry was weak.
In fact, it's just the opposite.
These tribal cavalry who came out of the North African desert have quite good ferocity, morale, and impact.
But again, their discipline and training level are very problematic.
However, in this case, maybe it's not that big of a problem.
All in all, more than 7,000 Berber cavalry charged the Lombards after the artillery bombardment.
Their fierce and cruel attacks shocked the Lombards, who were intoxicated in their gentle country and whose combat effectiveness was very weak.

The Lombards, who themselves did not have much combat effectiveness, were defeated and collapsed under very simple artillery and cavalry tactics.
Of course, more importantly, the speed at which their morale collapsed was so deplorable.
If these 200,000 troops were imperial troops, or Visigoths, or even Britons, it wouldn't matter if they were caught off guard at the beginning.
They will react in the shortest time and then choose to resist.
After this, they can take advantage of their strength and win.
However, these Lombards were different.
After the initial chaos, and the casualties, they collapsed incredibly quickly.
The 200,000-strong army rushed forward, and the scene was so spectacular that even the Visigoth army fighting them was a little surprised and a little unbelievable.
Although it was said that he had won, such a victory came too easily and made people feel unreal, so he was a little overwhelmed.
However, General Leopold is not included here.
This general is very capable in terms of IQ or anything else.
While others were still in a trance, they recovered as quickly as possible and issued the order.
Stop just watching, start an attack, you bastard It was almost like this, with the ordering soldiers, military flags, bugles and so on playing with their lives to convey orders, this group of soldiers woke up from a dream and launched an attack on their enemies.
So, the situation became what it is now.
"Did the entire army of 200,000 collapse just like that?"
After receiving the news, even though he knew that the Lombard army was scum and their combat effectiveness was appallingly low, William still felt a little unbelievable.
But of course, I won’t say stupid things like: “Even if it’s 200,000 pigs.”
Only a bastard who really doesn't understand war would say something stupid like pigs are easier to catch than people.
Because both sides have different IQs.
If it were a pig, people wouldn't know what to do.
But if it were a human being, he would yell at the collapsed enemy army to surrender his weapon and not kill him, squat on the ground obediently, raise the weapon above his head, and then say in a rude manner that he was surrendering.
That's pretty much it.
After this battle that the whole world found unbelievable, but thought about it carefully, it seemed to be a normal battle, nothing could stop this general from sweeping across the entire Lombardy.
All the city-states, all the dukes, all the consuls and bishops were silent in front of him.
Then, in front of his growing army, he had to choose to surrender.
Well, yes, growing day by day.
Of course he is a native of Lombardy.
Because the local political situation was chaotic and there was no unified country, although Lombardy is known as the birthplace of the Renaissance, nationalism, nationalism and other ideas are relatively weak, and I don't care too much.
And because the military systems of these countries are backward, they are still in the era of recruiting mercenaries.
And because the mercenaries here are very unscrupulous.
In addition, it doesn't matter if you can completely ignore the unspoken rules among nobles and commit a desperate robbery.
Therefore, in a very short period of time, a large number of mercenary groups, or defeated troops who had joined the 200,000-strong army, as well as prisoners and so on, joined his army.
In a very short period of time, General Leopold's army expanded to more than 100,000 men.
Although it is still chaotic, the level of organization, training, tactics, etc. are all insufficient.
But none of this is a problem.
Because looking around, he couldn't think of anyone who could pose a threat to him.
It seemed that Lombardy was his prize.
As general of the Visigothic Republic, his north was completely safe.
The third side of Lombardy is surrounded by sea.
Similarly, the Visigothic Republic has a pretty good navy in the western blue sea.
Although it is not used in most cases.
But that was not within the scope of General Leopold's considerations.
All in all, this is it.
After enduring a lot of suffering and setbacks, this general finally reached his first peak in life.
In other words, the conqueror of Lombardy had tens of millions of people crawling before him.

His armies conquered city-state after city and plundered the treasury of the wealthy merchant republics.
He was rampant throughout the peninsula.
He is the uncrowned king of this area.
It was even said that he was a little intoxicated and had forgotten everything.
Even, he was somewhat indifferent to the orders from his former superiors, the Visigothic Republic.
Not too concerned.
He even had the ambition to occupy the entire Lombardy, and then be crowned king and become the ruler of the peninsula.
Until next time, a better opportunity appeared in front of him.
"That is to say, the domestic political situation is still in a state of turmoil.
What's more important is that several consuls have died unexpectedly and the ruling governments have collapsed several times.
The current situation is beyond control, isn't it?"
After receiving the emissary, Leopold soon discovered this exciting opportunity and could not contain his smile.
What a great, really, opportunity, yes, this is the opportunity.
"In other words, some people in the country support me as the governor of the ruling government."
Thinking of this, General Leopold's face glowed red.
After getting a positive answer, he made the decision to leave Lombardy without hesitation, even though here he could become the uncrowned king of Lombardy.
But in comparison, there is a country that is bigger, more powerful, and more populous waiting for him.
If he wants to become the ruler of this world, it depends on this time 160420oshow7:
