Crusader Kings: Prisoners of War

After the Frankish cavalry withdrew, they did not dare to launch another attack in a short period of time. Orville took advantage of this time to start the action. He ordered the Celts hiding in the woods to rush out of the woods and launch an offensive against the Germanic coalition from the flank.

The spearhead of the attack was the Irish Celts represented by Cu Chulainn. The real purpose of this army was to send Cu Chulainn, a powerful but crazy gifted person, into the center of the enemy's position.

When there were still thirty or fifty meters away from the enemy's position, Cu Chulainn activated his frenzy ability again.

With the unnatural twisting and expansion of his body, Cu Chulainn entered a frenzy state, his height expanded to more than two meters and nearly three meters, his eyes were red and his muscles were knotted, like a mythical beast returning to the world.

He let out a deafening roar and rushed towards the enemy's position with red eyes. The Germans did not expect that the Romans would throw out a gifted person at this time. They were caught off guard and had no decent defense. In just a few minutes, the Germans in the battle area suffered heavy losses.

The commander on this front was an Anglo-Genius. He tried to stop Cu Chulainn's behavior and tried to kill or severely injure Cu Chulainn under the cover of the soldiers, but it was obvious that the combat effectiveness of the two sides was not at the same level.

After just a dozen rounds, he was suppressed and in danger under Cu Chulainn's high-pressure offensive. He was about to be severely injured or even killed on the spot.

The Germanic Geniuses on the surrounding fronts wanted to concentrate their firepower to stop the other side's behavior, but before they could take action, Orwell had a new action.

He knew very well that he had a significant advantage - there were many Geniuses. Even if some people were just here to make up the numbers, it didn't matter. As long as the Geniuses appeared on the battlefield, they would definitely hit the morale of the other side's ordinary soldiers and make the enemy's Geniuses dare not leave their posts without permission.

After Cu Chulainn went to battle, Orwell ordered all the Geniuses he could command to join the battlefield.

Boudica led the remaining Celts to attack from the other side of the battlefield to disrupt the enemy's defense line.

Belisarius and Stilicho led Orwell's most cherished elite troops to the battlefield and launched an offensive, trying to penetrate the gradually weakening formation of the Germans from the front.

Gil. Dres led the Gallic cavalry out of the forest to prepare to fight the Frankish cavalry whose hearts were floating, and Alfred took part in the battle symbolically with a part of the guards. The appearance of him and the red dragon flag of Wessex greatly hit the morale of the locals. After all, Wessex was the most powerful among the countries. Now even their king has joined the Romans and fought for the Romans, and these soldiers cannot help but be depressed.

In addition, Rollo, who was fighting bloody on the front line, was counted. Orwell even made an exception to let Jeanne, who was not very strong in combat power, join the battlefield and lead a Gallic troop to the front line.

The Germanic front, which originally seemed a little shaky, seemed particularly precarious at this moment, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before it was about to be broken.

Harold knew that the Romans were determined to fight this time and decided to resolve the battle during this offensive. He raised his sword and made a final mobilization to his most trusted guards.

"Warriors! This may be our last battle, but it will definitely not be our most shameful battle. Let these self-proclaimed civilized butchers see that not everyone will bow down to them like cowards!!"

After that, he took the lead and led his guards to the front line of the battlefield. All the remaining Germanic troops that still had a certain combat effectiveness also went to the battlefield.

At this point in the war, both sides were exhausted, but the Romans had stronger endurance and patience after all. Orwell's order for all the gifted people to join the war also greatly boosted the morale of the front-line soldiers.

He still paid more attention to propaganda, and had been consciously promoting the following information to the soldiers: they had an absolute advantage in the number and quality of gifted people. They might be at a disadvantage for a while during the war, but after the gifted people joined the battlefield, the situation would be changed.

To a certain extent, they also believed Orwell's propaganda. Now that the gifted people really went to the battlefield with reinforcements, it was undoubtedly a spiritual encouragement for all Roman soldiers.

They felt very excited and burst out with strength to launch another round of offensive against the Germanic front.

In contrast, the reinforcements on the Germanic side seemed a bit shabby: they were just some regrouped defeated soldiers and reserve soldiers. The most important thing was Harold Godwinson's own guards. Although these guards had good combat effectiveness, there were only two or three hundred people after all, which was not a big deal on the battlefield.

Except for Harold himself, although the commanders of the Franks and Vikings were all gifted people, they did not choose to fight with Harold this time.

The Franks were still good, but they were a little bit of a work without effort. Obviously, the commander's combat ability was not weak, but he fought back and forth with Gil. Dres, who was obviously weaker than him. The same was true for the Franks' cavalry, who had been fighting with the weaker Gaul cavalry, and the position of the two sides fighting was at the edge of the battlefield.

As long as the Franks realized that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat, they would definitely be able to leave calmly unless these Gallic cavalry risked their lives to hold them back.

As for the Vikings who were originally very hostile to Harold, they did even more extreme things. The Viking soldiers on all fronts were gradually withdrawing from the front. Ivar was very careful about his feathers after he determined that he would lose this battle, and immediately ordered the Viking warriors to withdraw from the battlefield.

This move directly led to the instability of the front line and the collapse of the troops and morale. The original strength and morale were somewhat stretched, and this was even more so.

Ivar didn't care about the lives of the locals at all. Anyway, his soldiers could escape after getting on the ship. The Romans were busy occupying the local area and would not embarrass him too much. He could just escape directly.

The disadvantages of the coalition forces were undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Once the confidence in the war was shaken, a chain reaction would occur. Everyone wanted to preserve their own power and would think about retreating before the friendly forces. This chain reaction occurred over and over again, and everyone lost the most basic confidence in the victory of the war.

In the end, only Harold himself was desperately holding on, but some things would not change with personal will in the end.

As Belisarius's soldiers broke through the Germanic lines head-on, the entire battle was officially declared to have entered its final stage.
