Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

The Holy City of Rome and the Vatican fell, and the Pope, the theocratic leader of Christ, was captured. Can this kind of thing really be kept hidden? Now this news was sent urgently by the messenger.

Now the Mongols were burning, killing and pillaging around the city of Rome. Many people have begun to flee, and these people are the best disseminators of news.

Wherever they go, they will spread the news that the Mongols have captured Rome and captured the Pope. Soon, the whole of Europe will know about it.

By then, even if the news is concealed or blocked in the military camp, the soldiers will know it, and once the news is known, things will become serious.

It might cause a mutiny, and even many small lords and nobles would leave directly with their soldiers. This kind of thing happened during the Crusades.
This time their army is also called the Crusade, but it is not an Eastern Expedition, but its other characteristics and management methods are exactly the same as the Crusaders.

As long as everyone feels that the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is no longer trustworthy, then they have the right to lead their troops and leave.

Frederick, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, secondly, this nominal leader had neither the right nor the means to stop it.

"I know, but this is our last chance. Now our people have been sent out. If we can successfully destroy the Mongolian stronghold, it will be a major victory, a victory that can change the situation of the war.

At that time, this victory can also make up for the news of the fall of Rome to a certain extent and greatly boost the morale of the entire army. If this news is announced now.

Then the morale of all the soldiers in the camp will be extremely low, and there may even be large-scale desertions, so I must stabilize the situation and not tell the news to ordinary soldiers at least for a short time.

After we destroy the Mongolians' food and material reserves, the morale of these Mongols will be extremely low, and they will even retreat directly to Hungary and Poland.

At that time, I will send some more troops to recapture the city of Rome. As for a certain old pope, it is not that important.

Besides, Gregory IX was not a popular pope. How many people were harmed by the Inquisition he built?
Which of the monarchs, big and small, some noble lords, and even common people in various European countries did not complain about him?
We can announce that he is dead and then choose one of the archbishops from each country to succeed the new pope. "Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II said.

He doesn't care about the life or death of a certain pope. It would even be better for him if the pope died.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? We can spread a false message that the Pope is dead instead of being captured by the Mongols.

The Pope has died heroically in battle. We will choose a highly respected person to succeed the Pope among the archbishops serving in other countries. "The staff immediately understood what his master, the Holy Roman Emperor, meant, and said.

"That's right, so this news should be kept secret for now, and members of the army should not be informed.

We don't need to care about the life or death of the pope, we only need to care about the war in front of us. "The Holy Roman Emperor said.

He only cares about the final victory of this war.

Please, I must win this time! Only by winning this war will he have the chance to make a comeback and the power to defeat the Mongols.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, now we can only trust the warriors who are fighting in the field, and believe that they can achieve a glorious victory for us."

On the battlefield on the other side, a total of 60,000 coalition cavalry were slowly walking into the huge encirclement of the Mongols.

The team had been marching for two days, covering more than 80 kilometers, and was not far from the border between Austria and Hungary.

The person in charge of leading the army this time was the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Baldwin II, the former Emperor of the Latin Empire, as well as several other members of the Knights, and some great nobles.

This time, the coalition forces had all their best troops. They basically emptied all their resources and sent out their most elite troops. There were only a few miscellaneous cavalry left in the entire camp.

"The fortress in front should be where the Mongols are hoarding supplies. If His Majesty the Emperor's information is correct, Archduke Kalman should come to meet us and cooperate with us inside and outside to attack the Mongols." The Knights Templar Regiment Long Hermann spoke.

The reason why the army moved so quickly this time was because the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II received the guarantee from the Archduke Kalman of Croatia.

He will lead his army here to assist the Mongols in defense, but the real purpose is to stab the Mongols in the back.

As long as their army arrives, they will start a war. The troops of Grand Duke Kalman of Croatia would become their friendly forces.

At this moment, an army in front flew towards them. This was a Mongolian army wearing black armor, with about five or six thousand people.

"Sure enough, this place is heavily guarded. With so many Mongolian cavalry, they must be guarding something important.

Warriors, we launch an attack to defeat these Mongolian cavalry and destroy their fortress. " Herman, the grand leader of the Knights Templar, drew out his sword and said.

"For the honor of the Lord."

"For God, for the Emperor."

"Under the witness of the True Cross, the army of Christ and God will be invincible." Baldwin II raised the sword in his hand and shouted.

Beside him, some accompanying members of the Latin Empire raised a huge golden wooden cross.

During this period of time, if anyone wants to say who has lived the most miserable life and been ridiculed the most, then it is undoubtedly him.

It was already very uncomfortable when the country was destroyed, but he didn't expect that the enemy would actually marry his wife.

He also turned his wife into the Queen of Jerusalem, which was a naked humiliation for him, so he contributed one of the most important national treasures of the Latin Empire, the True Cross, which is said to be the cross that Jesus was tied to when he was tortured. It is a holy thing of Christ.

As long as the true cross appears in the army of Christ, it represents victory and heralds hope. As long as the true cross appears, the army of Christ will be invincible and invincible.

But this is just a legend after all. When Saladin attacked the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Kingdom of Jerusalem also took out a so-called True Cross, but it was blown up by the army led by Saladin.

Moreover, this gorgeous golden cross is the cross of Jesus’ crucifixion.

It’s a bit unreliable. Considering Jesus’ identity at that time, he was a torturer who founded a pagan religion. How could the torturer use a golden cross?

It stands to reason that even the crucifixion cross used by Jesus should be an ordinary, ordinary cross. Is it really okay for you to make it so gorgeous?
To put it bluntly, only fanatics would believe in the True Cross of the King of Jerusalem and the True Cross presented by their Latin Empire.

However, at this time, the golden cross did bring confidence to some ordinary soldiers, and they bravely launched a charge against the Mongolian army.

The two armies soon fought together, and the European coalition forces, which had an absolute numerical advantage, caught the Mongolian cavalry by surprise.

Soon, the Mongolian army lost their flags and even their helmets and armor. Then, led by a Mongolian general, they fled wildly.

Woo! Woo!
A loud horn sound came from the distance, and Duke Kalman of Croatia, under Zhang Yong's instructions, suddenly rushed out with a cavalry of about 1,500 people.

"Attack, attack, warriors, now is the time to take back everything we have and our past glory." The Croatian Grand Duke Kalman roared and led his army to follow Meng Ge's army slowly. Behind the army.

Waving his long sword, he would chop down a Mongolian soldier from the Tolei family from time to time. When setting off this time, Zhang Yong, Badu, and Su Butai and others were told that they must act more realistically, except for some senior generals.

The other soldiers had no idea what was going on. They really thought that their Grand Duke had betrayed the Mongols, so they pursued the Mongolian army of the Torre family very hard.

At this time, Duke Kalman felt a little unspeakable. Although it had been discussed before, Meng did agree to let some ordinary Mongolian soldiers give their lives as bait.

But he is really afraid that the Mongolian army will wear small shoes for him after this incident. Please rush slower, don't you see that the Grand Duke is already sweating?

At this time, the Croatian Grand Duke Kalman could only grit his teeth and rush forward. After all, the show had to be real, otherwise he would not be able to deceive the guys behind him. Anyway, if anything happens, King John will help him. Support yourself, what are you afraid of?
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Croatian army, the cavalry team of the European coalition became even more excited.

"Look, that's the army brought by the Duke of Croatia, our reinforcements. He's here to support us."

"The Grand Duke Kalman of Croatia is indeed one of ours."

"They are all brothers who believe in God. He is different from those Orthodox Christians. His heart is with us."

"Grand Duke Kalman has always been on our side. He has been secretly lurking around the Mongols, transmitting some important information to the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire."

"It is said that they still have a father-son relationship. The Queen of Hungary seemed to have had an affair with the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire."

"Victory belongs to us, attack, attack." Herman, the grand leader of the Knights Templar, waved the sword in his hand and led the knights to charge towards Kalman.

After chasing for about half an hour, the Mongolian army had already run away. Kalman then led his Croatian army to join the Western European coalition forces.

"Is the person in front of you the Grand Duke of Croatia, Duke Kalman, son of the Holy Roman Emperor?" Herman, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, asked.

When Kalman heard this, his face immediately fell. Damn you, the son of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, my father is the King of Hungary.

Frederick II, this bastard, dared to go around talking about what happened between them, damn him!
I have never been, nor have I ever wanted to be your son, you bastard, you are only a dozen years older than me, and you just married your father's brother's wife.

When did you have an affair with my mother? You guys have obviously never met each other, okay?
But you can't be proud for long, you will be finished soon.

"Everyone! I am the Grand Duke of Croatia, and my father was the previous king of the Kingdom of Hungary. Please make no mistake." Kalman came to the coalition forces and said with a cold face.

"It's our fault. This is your family matter. We can't say anything more, but we still want to thank you for your assistance and the information you conveyed. If it hadn't been for your information twice before, we wouldn't have been able to achieve it. A huge victory. Frustrate the Mongols' plan to invade Bohemia," Baldwin II stepped forward and said.

"You're welcome. After all, I don't want to live under the rule and oppression of foreigners." Kalman bowed to the two of them, made a royal gesture, and said.

You think you have defeated the Mongols' plan to invade Bohemia, but the fact is that the Mongols are just trying to whet your appetite. If the Mongols wanted to, 30,000 troops would be enough to flatten the entire Bohemia. We need to send reinforcements there!

All of this is just to attract a certain Holy Roman Emperor to take the bait. If the Mongolian army is too strong, showing an invincible and invincible attitude.

Then the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire will never take the initiative to attack. He will definitely shrink back and adopt a comprehensive defense. This is not what the Mongols want to see.

After a few more polite words with many European nobles and monarchs, Kalman spoke. :
"Everyone, let's stop talking. The Mongolian supply base is ahead of us. As long as we get there, we can break through the fortress.

My army is there, and a Mongol army is stationed there. Now that I have rebelled, this Mongol army is now isolated and helpless. "

After Kalman finished speaking, he pointed to the valley ahead. At the end of the valley, there was a medium-sized fortress standing there.

"Is it that valley? The castle in the middle of the valley is where the Mongols stocked up supplies. This is indeed a good place, easy to defend and difficult to attack. No wonder the Mongols chose this place." A man from the Teutonic Knights The exiled knight master spoke.

After the headquarters of their Teutonic Knights was breached by the Mongols, although they are still one of the three major knights in name, the truth is that they are just a group of vagrants.

If they can no longer find a suitable territory or regain their previous territory, the Teutonic Knights may be submerged in the long river of history.

Therefore, the Teutonic Knights want to defeat the Mongols more urgently than anyone else, regain their former territory, and continue to rule Prussia and the Principality of Lithuania.

"Don't worry, with the blessing of the Lord, we will definitely achieve the final victory. After all, the True Cross is here." Baldwin II said.

"You're right. We must capture this fortress as soon as possible. The Mongolian information transmission speed is very fast. If we don't capture this place quickly, the Mongolian army will come out in two or three days at most. Once we do, If we are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, it will be over," Kalman said.

At this time, the Mongolian soldiers who had just been chased by them had regrouped, and the array was re-arranged several thousand meters away.

"Don't these Mongols retreat to the castle and plan to fight us in the plains?" said a noble knight from the Kingdom of France.

"The Mongols are too arrogant. Their field combat capabilities are indeed very strong, better than ours, but they cannot underestimate us noble knights." A member of the Knights Templar said.

"Yes! We must not let the Mongols underestimate us." Instead of retreating into the castle, they put on a posture to face the enemy. How confident must these Mongolians be?

"Don't be careless. Everyone, raise all your shields. The Mongols' arrow attack is quite powerful. Let's charge together and completely annihilate them." The Grand Commander of the Knights Templar roared and raised his own The sword was inserted back into his waist and he raised the 3-meter-long cross spear. Together with a large group of Templars, they launched a charge side by side.

In previous duels between European knights and Mongols, the Mongols had always won, which made them very unconvinced.

The reason why the Mongols were able to defeat the European knights was, in the eyes of these European heavily armored knights, because they were clever.

They never dared to confront the noble knights head-on. They always took advantage of their horses to run around and attack them with bows and arrows.

But this time, behind the Mongols was their fortress, and they had no place to run. This time. The European knights put away their swords and replaced them with lances for charging.

Now let you see the power of the invincible and invincible European knights!

Under the leadership of the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, countless members of the Knights took back their swords, set up their long lances, and launched a charge.

"Charge! Warriors, crush them, kill all these Mongols."

A large number of European knights howled and rushed into the valley.

On the hillside in the distance, Batu, Subotai and Zhang Yong were watching the battle and nodded together.

Soon, a Mongolian cavalry group of about 20,000 people rushed towards the entrance of the valley. The other two exits into the valley were also blocked by the Mongolian army.

On the hillside and in the castle, trebuchets were also pushed out, along with thunder cannons, cannons, and heavy artillery specially brought by Zhang Yong.

When the European knights charged, they didn't realize that their surroundings were covered with hay, dry firewood and other flammable materials, and there was even an extremely pungent smell of gasoline. (End of chapter)
