The Eagle of Eastern Europe

Before and after the long formation on both sides, hundreds of messenger cavalry were seen galloping back and forth to convey orders. And the team officers at all levels in the noisy and chaotic array were also shouting loudly. Two huge square formations are slowly taking shape...

At noon, the huge noise gradually fell silent, and the dust gradually dissipated due to the stillness of the soldiers...

The soldiers at the front of both sides of the phalanx can clearly see the enemy hundreds of meters away. In their eyes, the opponent's dense phalanx is like a thick steel city wall extending endlessly to both ends...

The midday sun was very hot, shining on the soldiers' shining armor and weapons, and the dazzling light merged into one, making it impossible to look directly at them. Only when the eyes fell in front of the Roman phalanx, the distinctive and uniform equipment and clothing of the Roman legionnaires naturally attracted the attention of the coalition soldiers and made them feel palpitated.

The long array of large and small military flags on both sides fluttered in the wind. The largest flag was erected behind John, painted with fleurs-de-lis and blue and yellow stripes. The flags on the Roman side were much more unified. The purple double-headed eagle flag was slowly moving forward. After a while, the military chessmen had moved to the front of the formation, and closely behind the military flags were the generals in golden helmets.

With such a gorgeous dress, he must be the Roman emperor, right? John hesitated for a moment and then rode forward.

The two met in the center of the battlefield. Peter looked at John with sharp eyes, and John looked back without any sign of weakness.

"All countries in the alliance, big and small, are treated as equals, unlike your country!" John's face turned red, and he imitated the tone of the members of Parliament during the debate.

The experienced Roman cavalry charged first and defeated the cavalry troops on the right. Then, their musketeers exchanged fire, suppressing the firepower of the new recruits. The collective charge of the large deep phalanx quickly destroyed the morale of the latter's soldiers.

However, the musketeers in the Roman army successfully disrupted the charge of the enemy cavalry and played an important role in anti-cavalry. The pistol firepower of the coalition cavalry was far from the opponent of the well-formed Roman spear firepower.

Peter suppressed his smile and showed a sinister expression: "You are right about one thing, I alone have the final say on the land in the East! In the future, I alone will have the final say on the land of Charlemagne that you are so proud of. Calculate!"

The new troops on the right wing dispersed without any serious resistance and were completely routed. After most of the troops were quickly routed, the Elector of Saxony galloped to the distant Stuttgart for refuge. The defeated army actually robbed the luggage of the coalition camp behind them.

The Roman Emperor said without a doubt, "I am John, the Duke of Burgundy, the commander of this coalition!" Under Peter's gaze, John subconsciously increased his voice.

Peter personally led his cavalry to attack the left flank of the allied infantry. Another cavalry unit made a roundabout attack on the coalition artillery positions that remained in their original positions. The defenders originally thought the battle was over and were quickly driven away due to lack of precaution. After seeing the artillery positions captured, John realized that the situation was over and ordered the entire army to retreat. Although he was unwilling to fail, he was helpless. As he left with his cavalry bodyguard, a dozen allied infantry units were still under crossfire from the Romans, suffering heavy losses. In the end, the latter's exhaustion was used to avoid the bad luck of annihilation of the entire army.

The first charge was repulsed, and Bernhard himself, who was at the forefront, was injured. However, the brave Bernhard still launched several charges in succession, and was severely injured in the Roman firepower net. For the last time, Christian saw that the time was ripe and launched a counterattack to drive the defeated coalition cavalry from the battlefield. At this point, the situation on the Roman right and the coalition's left was most favorable to Peter.

"The cowardly Romans don't dare to stay a little longer and dare to declare war on us!" Rupert spat fiercely in the direction of John opposite.

Peter laughed loudly: "In battle, shouldn't the army obey the instructions of one person to ensure that the entire army acts in a unified manner?"

"You won't know until after the fight!" John replied concisely. Peter nodded slightly, then rode back to the formation.

John found that he was no match for Peter in terms of eloquence, so he simply remained silent and just stared at him coldly.

"I have heard of the title Duke of Burgundy for a long time, but some people do not agree with your title as commander-in-chief." Peter had a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Are you the emperor of the Roman Empire?"

"What did that Roman say?!" Rupert asked loudly as he hurried over.

"What else can I say besides declaring war!" Good-tempered John couldn't help but feel a little angry.

After several hours of fighting, Rome not only suppressed the Union infantry in the infantry battle. The artillerymen also established new positions in time and began to fire fiercely.

When the bugle sounded, nearly 30,000 infantrymen on the right wing of the coalition took great strides and advanced toward the enemy in a mighty manner. Everyone's eyes are fixed on the approaching enemy, with tension and excitement intertwined on their faces, just looking forward to that terrifying and crazy moment coming soon! They roared wildly and suddenly collided with the Romans.

Finally, the commander of the left wing of the coalition army, Bernhard of Bavaria, could no longer hold back. He led his cavalry to charge against the opponent without receiving orders from the commander-in-chief.

In the initial period, both warring parties were testing each other's strength. No one dared to launch a full-line attack rashly. They mainly bombarded each other with intensive artillery fire, and occasionally used small-scale cavalry conflicts to test each other's weak links. The fierce artillery battle lasted for two and a half hours. The coalition only had 20 cannons, while the Romans had more artillery. The key was that the quality advantage of the Roman artillery was fully exerted. Their rate of fire and firepower density were almost three times that of the opponent. , almost every artillery shell fired in the imperial line was hit by three Roman artillery shells.

"Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?"

At this point, the massive Battle of Munich finally came to an end, and the Roman Empire army led by Roman Emperor Peter I won an overwhelming victory. The enemy lost 20,000 men at the cost of 4,500 men, and captured all artillery and military flags. The coalition forces could only hide in Stuttgart to temporarily avoid the edge. After Peter won the battle, he surrounded Munich and prepared to capture it. Seeing that the defeat was certain, Louis, the Elector of Bavaria, began to show his goodwill to Rome and prepare for negotiations.

After this battle, the Swiss Confederation also joined in and declared war on Austria. Representatives were sent to contact the Roman emperor, and all Swiss people joined the army and prepared to fight for independence.
