Chapter 493 (1/2)

The Crusades of various countries did not start at the same time, but naturally had their own order.

The closest is the most active Italian city-state, an army of citizens and businessmen.

They are well equipped, but their fighting will is not very firm. They fight with the wind as fierce as a tiger and hard as soft as a shrimp. The joint forces of the principality almost wiped them out without much effort.

But then the troops from Poland, the Holy Roman Empire, France, England and other countries approached one by one. The war became more and more frequent, and the hatred between Crusaders and orthodox believers became more and more profound.

Wei Ran led the eagle regiment to fight. He performed miraculous deeds in successive campaigns and won more with less. The application of military situation and military skills from Eastern strategists has made these Western armies accustomed to array warfare suffer a lot.

Wei Ran changed the eagle regiment's heavy riding to light riding. He repeatedly used his superb mobility to implement strategic detours, harass marching infantry, cut off grain roads, and even captured a large number of pilgrims as the precursor to counter attack the Crusaders.

He is also good at taking advantage of the disharmony between the armies of the eastern expedition, instigating discord, spreading rumors, shaking the morale of the troops and delaying their actions.

His actions have no lower limit and only pursue victory. Such extreme tactics make the crusaders of the eastern expedition call him Satan's left hand and the sickle of death. No one feels terrible.

On the battlefield, the morale of the Crusaders will drop sharply in the face of Wei Ran, who is wearing dark Rune armor and leads cavalry raids.

Out of hatred for Wei Ran, the Crusaders naturally did not send less assassins to assassinate Wei Ran, but Wei Ran's strength was not what they could imagine. All assassins who failed to assassinate were tortured extremely cruelly by him.

It was inserted through his anus with a wooden stake and pierced out of his mouth. It was nailed on the only way of the Crusader. All the enemies who came trembled. Of course, the idea of puncture punishment came from Dracula, who seems to have a unique hobby.

Many victories made many principalities with survival crisis hand over all their troops to Wei Ran.

Even so, the huge gap in national strength can not be made up by a tactical victory.

Wei Ran, who created many brilliant victories without a defeat, faced a very difficult situation at this time. Because apart from the Crusaders from the West and the Black Sea, even the defeated Ottoman army also attacked him from the East.

The logistics road was cut off by the light cavalry of the Ottoman Empire. In order to preserve his effective strength, Wei Ran had to retreat step by step and gradually give up many strategic places.

However, around the last territory of the three principalities, an inevitable frontal battle finally broke out.

At an absolute disadvantage, the principality coalition still maintained strong fighting spirit even because of the previous victories commanded by Wei Ran.

However, in a month of high-density fighting, the elite of the principality were almost lost, and only the soldiers of the eagle regiment remained. At this time, the situation was beyond human power to recover.

The three principalities recognized the situation and asked for surrender, but they were sternly rejected by the Crusaders and the Ottoman Empire! But they fought desperately, but two of the three countries had been destroyed, and all the destroyed countries suffered from the slaughter of the city.

Now the Principality of valachia is the last territory, but it is heavily surrounded and becomes an isolated city. To the West are the Crusades of the eastern expedition, to the southeast are the vengeful Ottoman armies, and to the Northeast are the Crusades and the Black Sea fleet of the Ottoman Empire.

It seems to reproduce the scene that the Byzantine capital Constantinople was besieged and fell, and the people in the city were terrified.

Different from that time, the Ottoman Empire allowed Constantinople to surrender, and after capturing the city, it did not carry out inhuman slaughter.

However, due to the previous performance of Wei Yanjie, the current valachia city-state has caused great damage and casualties to the Crusaders and the Ottoman Empire.

Now it is impossible for them to agree to surrender and swear to their respective religions outside the city to purify all living creatures in the city and eliminate heresy.

At this time, the morale of the city guarding side was almost reduced to the extreme, but everyone still maintained a tenacious fighting will because of the fear of slaughtering the city.
