The Swiss in the middle line fought hard. General Farr immediately sent more elite soldiers and generals to the middle line. The Man Empire's army opened the way with crossbows and attacked the infantry and charge infantry in groups. They launched attacks again and again on the main main force of the Swiss.

Faced with the powerful offensive of the Norman Empire, the Swiss seemed to be unable to do so. Although some young and inexperienced Swiss people still used super spears to fight. However, the older and experienced Swiss mercenaries had already given up their weapons and switched to short weapons for hand-to-hand combat. After all, in the mountainous terrain, the four- or five-meter-long super spear is too burdensome.

After several consecutive failures, losing soldiers and losing many hilly positions, the Swiss people also learned to be more well-behaved. When the Norman Empire released the rain of arrows, they squatted down and hugged their bodies behind the shield. Then, when Norman's heavy infantry group charged, they also launched the charge. The infantry on both sides were entangled together and swung violently at the long sword of the axe and sword. They fought a lot.

"It's really... I deserve to be a mountain monkey who grew up in the mountains. He has a lot of skills in fighting." Seeing his side's charges several times, although they all took advantage, they could not directly tear the opponent's array and defeat them as they imagined. General Fal, who was on a hill, snorted twice. He said something like this. I don't know if it's a compliment or a derogatory statement.

"But it will be only in a while. The artillery will be sent over immediately. At that time, a few cannons will be bombarded. No matter how strong the army is, it will collapse." Next to General Fal, one of his guard knights replied.

"It may not be necessary... the enemy is also tenacious." General Fal thought for a while, but did not agree with what the knight said. After a while, the Norman Engineer's Siege Bridge, pushed the sports cart, and finally transported several cannons to the front line. General Fal looked at it but was a little strange.

"Why are there only five mortar cannons?! What about infantry cannons?"

"The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the twenty-four-pound infantry cannons are too heavy. In addition, because the infantry cannons are flat, they cannot be used in the mountains. So we just barely pulled these five mortar cannons over." Hearing General Far's words, the captain of the engineer said this with neither humility nor arrogant words.

General Far was not a ungrateful person. After hearing this, he nodded and comforted the engineers. Then he asked them to set up artillery and bombard the opponent's army.

In this moment, the Norman army launched another attack. The assault infantry opened the way, and the longbow and heavy crossbow cover was in full swing until this time. The Man army's bows, arrows, crossbows and arrows were consumed a lot. Some longbowmen had lost their long-range attack capabilities. When the Norman infantry's flying axes were basically exhausted, the Man people lost some long-range support, which is also the reason why the Swiss were able to support it until now.

Seeing the other party again - I don't know how many attacks it was. The Swiss mountaineering people cheered up again and sacrificed their lives to fight. Some veterans were no longer as good as the new recruits who had just started on the battlefield. They could endure the pain. Some people were cut down their abdomen. The internal organs flowed all over the ground, but they still held the enemy tightly and jumped off the cliff and died together. Some people had several arrows inserted into their bodies, and they gave up their defense and attacked desperately. They fought with the Normans for a while before they died.

After persuading the enemy on both sides, General Farr tried to make these prisoners surrender to the front-line Swiss veterans. But the final result was that the Swiss veterans killed two prisoners who went up the mountain to persuade them to surrender. The third one, the prisoner who shouted at the foot of the mountain, was also shot to death by the Swiss people on the mountain with bows and arrows.

Seeing the three prisoners who persuaded surrender were killed, General Fal was angry and continued to order an attack.) The Mann army took action with hatred☆, but in the end, he still did not occupy the hilly areas defended by the Swiss central army.

"It's really damn." Seeing that the sun was about to set, General Fal snorted coldly and muttered: "If it were in the plain terrain, I would have cleaned up these bastards long ago." However, it was useless to complain like this. After fighting for a day, the Norman army was also exhausted. General Fal had no choice but to order the army to retreat a little and enter the camp where the baggage had just been completed.

Although he won a big victory today, General Farr did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he asked the soldiers to be more alert to prevent the Swiss from attacking at night.

In this way, General Farr's troops came to an end. The Man Empire won a great victory, but did not win a complete victory. The Swiss were defeated miserably, but still retained a little strength. I just don't know how long this pitiful force can last...

On that night, there were indeed a small group of Swiss people who decided to go all out to attack at night. Some people equipped the remaining Swiss people, the best armor, the best swords, and a small amount of black gunpowder and tinder boxes that they gathered through special channels. Each of them asked their fellow countrymen to avoid their messages to their homes after they died. Therefore, each of them had no worries.

Then, their small army was defeated by the strictly guarded Norman guards without any suspense. From the mountain, the Norman camp was in an uproar. Before the Swiss could have had time to be happy, the shouts had calmed down ≤ Nearly 500 Swiss dead soldiers had really become "dead" soldiers. And the last little expectation of the Swiss was too young.

On the next day, General Fal was not in a hurry to attack. He dispatched his army to surround the hills defended by the Swiss, cut off their water source, and then bombed them with mortars to slowly destroy their morale... Time passed day by day. Although the Swiss people were still persevering, they could not drink water. The only remaining food was about to be finished. They were bombarded by artillery every day and suffered continuous casualties... All of this made the Swiss's physical strength and morale continue to decline.

Finally, on the sixth day, when the Swiss people on the mountain were almost unable to move due to hunger and thirst, the final attack of the Normans began...
