Battle Report

The fight started off normally enough, the Teutonic Knights lineing the battlefield in front of me, the SPearmen and Feudal Knights up front, and crossbowmen firing at the front.

I sent Dieter ahead, to scout out the enemies army. We dwarf their army, our numbers of 716 against their 418. I am training Assasains, so when this happens.

The Battlefield was fine We occupied a hill, and they were stuck in a ditch.

End of Diary

The Imperial Army waited, while the Danes came. Jobst was scanning the battlefield, when a ball of fire appeared in the sky.
"What the hell is that?" wondered Jobst,
"Sir! Move!" roared Dieter, Jobst, on his horse, galloped away, as a massive flaming stone crashed where he was seconds before. Splinters flew off, one embedding itself in Jobst's armor. Seconds later, a massive crossbolt speared a man nearby, sending him flying.
"Sir, the enemy has Ballistas and Catapaults!" roared Dieter over the twang of arrows, and the crashing of rocks.

Soon, another flaming rock crashed into the front line, sending men sprawlkng, dead by the blast. others nearby caught fire, and their screams filled the air.
The front line was smashed, with a unit of 80 men declining to 40 in mere minutes.
The line of archers ran, as the Dismounted Huscarls charged at them.

Soon, they whole place was embroiled in fighting.
"For Germany!' roared Jobst, and he and his unit charged into the fray.

As Jobst leaned from his addle and cleaved a Danes head, and raised his sheild to block a attack, under the sun he saw Flaming rocks heading towards him. he was doomed. All of a sudden, Siegfred and his unit charged into the Catapault unit, and saved Jobst's life. As the rocks went high. Jobst smashed off another Danes head, inwardly thankful, as he life was in Siegfreds Debt.

"Sir, Captain Ulf is dead!" cheered Dieter, Ulf was the Dane Comander.

Victory!

Jobst approached Siegfred.
"I owe my life to you Knight Siegfred" Jobst old him, Siegfred seemed to nod, but said nothing.
"I have never been in such danger, and you saved me. For your efforts, I make you a Knight."
