Because of this, let alone ordinary fools, many nobles from the French Kingdom and the Holy Roman Empire agreed with this statement and regarded Xiao Yunyang as a devil from hell!

From the perspective of the ruling class, this can also explain why Xiao Yunyang suddenly took action to destroy the Catholics in his empire without hesitation.

Xiao Yunyang is a devil from hell and the incarnation of Satan. He must be a mortal enemy of the Catholic Church that upholds the will of Catholicism. It is only right to destroy the Catholic Church!

At the beginning, the Catholic Church cooperated with Xiao Yunyang but was deceived by the devil's methods. Isn't it normal for mortals to be deceived by the devil?

So everything is explained...

Even Xiao Yunyang himself was speechless after receiving the rumors, lamenting that human brain-repairing abilities are really impeccable...

After the Catholic Church's devilish remarks on Xiao Yunyang were deceived by many noble states, the Catholic Church gained a large number of noble believers, and the Catholic Church's belief in the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire quickly suppressed other messy local religions.

If the example of the devil in this world is before us, is there any religion that is more convincing than this?

Catholicism successfully used reverse cases to spread its own beliefs and fought a turnaround battle. Even if those nobles did not believe in their true beliefs, they would fully support Catholicism in order to fight against Xiao Yunyang of the Han Empire.

Fortunately, the information dissemination in this era was very primitive and backward. As long as the Han Empire looked forward to the border, no matter how evil the Catholic rumors abroad were, they would not be able to spread within the Han Empire.

Xiao Yunyang was not interested in fighting any public opinion war. After the 100,000 army was rectified and the security and households on the Italian Peninsula were also on duty, Xiao Yunyang once again led the army to start the Northern Expedition!

The first goal is the Bavarian electorate country, which has the most territory and strength among the Holy Roman Empire.

Of course, when attacking Bavaria, you will inevitably pass by some small states and free cities of the Holy Roman Empire, but these weak states and free cities can only pull out a few thousand troops at most, and are not opponents of the Han army at all.

Basically, as soon as the Han army arrived, they surrendered...

Otherwise, when the Han army breaks the city, all the rebels will be killed.

It's not called bravery, but middle school...

The Han Empire entered Bavaria in the early 12th year of the Han Dynasty. At this time, the anti-Han alliance was prepared. As a powerful country in the Holy Roman Empire, Bavaria naturally could not give up resistance with those small states and free markets.

When Xiao Yunyang came with his army, there were already 120,000 troops waiting here for a long time.

At the same time, more than 90,000 troops were rushing towards the Principality of Bavaria in other parts of the Holy Roman Empire!

The 210,000 German coalition forces are the main force used by the Holy Roman Empire to resist the Han army.

The reason why it is called the German coalition is because the regional name of the Holy Roman Empire is called Germany. Germany is not a country name, but a regional name.

In order to resolve the conflicts between the nobles of various states as much as possible, the anti-Han alliance adopted the regional name as the prefix of the coalition forces.

In addition to the 210,000 German coalition forces, the French Kingdom also gathered 160,000 troops, gathering towards the border of the Sardinian province of the Han Empire.

The anti-Han alliance raised two large armies in total, and waited for the Han Empire to take the initiative to put the Han Empire in a situation of two-line combat, thus breaking the deadlock.

After all, no matter how powerful the anti-Han alliance is, it has no chance of winning against Xiao Yunyang, who is unknown how many legions he can summon, so he has taken the initiative to attack Xiao Yunyang's away defense line.

The strategic goal of the anti-Han alliance is actually very low. As long as it can make Xiao Yunyang feel pain and stop invading, they will be satisfied.

The anti-Han alliance never thought about eliminating the Han Empire.

After all, Xiao Yunyang is really too powerful...

Moreover, the strategic depth of the Han Empire was too grand, and it would be fine for a long-term war to fight. The anti-Han alliance seemed united, but it was a mess inside, and the long-term war could not hold on.

In addition, the nobles of various states in the anti-Han alliance were also worried that the generals of the army would take advantage of the long-term war opportunity to completely control the army provided by the nobles, and then return to the country to have a unified battle.

Therefore, the nobles of the anti-Han alliance believed that the shorter the war, the better, and the battlefield must not be extended for more than one year!

Therefore, the French noble coalition forces of the anti-Han alliance burst out from the beginning and began to attack the province of Sardinia!

On the other hand, the German coalition forces in Bavaria were also unafraid to intercept Xiao Yunyang's main force in the wild.

The daily consumption of more than 100,000 troops is an astronomical figure, and it is impossible to spread it to various cities to fight defensive wars.

Otherwise, Xiao Yunyang's main force of the Han army could have interspersed in the wilderness between cities, and then flattened all the villages and settlements with weak defense.

As long as Xiao Yunyang is cruel enough, he can even implement a policy of clearing the country!

Therefore, if you want to intercept Xiao Yunyang, you must engage in field combat.

Of course, the field battle here does not require fighting in a flat wilderness, but can rely on civil fortifications.

The German coalition spent a lot of manpower to build continuous civil fortifications on the necessary path of the army, and every distance they would build towers of arrow towers.

At the same time, a large number of war soldiers were stationed in these civil fortifications, which formed a large army blockade line.

Under such a blockade, it is impossible for the army to pass quietly. At most, small infiltration forces with a small number of people can only be allowed to pass.

Although the front civil fortifications cover a wide area, there are only a few places that can actually supply the passage of the army, and this is also the defensive surface where the German coalition forces gather.

Now, what Xiao Yunyang needs to break is this kind of defensive side.

It must also be broken in a short time, otherwise the Han army on the Sardinian province would not be able to stop it. After the Sardinian province was flattened, there were no field troops stationed in the provinces on the Italian Peninsula, and even most of the security and household soldiers were transferred to the Sardinian province, which would be difficult to stop the troops of the French Kingdom.

After launching several tentative attacks, Xiao Yunyang mastered the roughly guarded by the German coalition forces, determined the main attack direction, and threw out the Taiping elite musket team card.

After the elite Taiping Army musket team of a thousand-man Taiping Army and the cannons they carried appeared, Xiao Yunyang called the leader of the musket team over.
