In a matter of days, when the combined forces of the Cumans and Centaurs found them like wild beasts, trapped in a huge trap, not a single one of them had a good look on their faces.

The Normans continued to push their fortifications inward, relying on the main forces and the original fortifications, and they continued to move forward, inward, and build all kinds of buildings that they had seen and had never seen, beyond the imagination of the enemy coalition forces, and even began to use stone and brick to build stronger and more durable fortifications in order to achieve results when they did not have to rush to work.

It was as if it were a pocket that was getting tighter and tighter, suffocating and extremely unpleasant, and as if those evil ones, not for the sake of obtaining animal flesh and furs, but simply for pleasure, had fallen into a prey trap to fill in the earth.

"It's not going to go on like this!"

Seeing that the other party's pockets were getting tighter and tighter, the Cumans and the centaur alliance were in a hurry, and they didn't care about the fact that their army was not good at fighting fortified battles, and rushed headlong to the strongest road defense system leading to Kazan, Ayujie Khan was also a little flustered at the moment, and couldn't think of any way to let the chiefs below attack, of course, this centaur khan put forward his own suggestions on the outermost ditches and obstacles such as horse pits.

The coalition gathered all the sacks and sacks they could find, some of the soldiers shoveled dirt with improvised tools and filled the bags, while some heavily armored centaurs carried bags of sand to the trenches, braving the rain of bows and arrows from the opposite side, pouring the sand into the trenches.

Even if they are such a daredevil's centaurs, all of them are heavily armored and fast, and their defense is very strong, but the Norman troops guarding there are not ambiguous, and the well-trained longbowmen immediately replaced the armor-piercing cone head arrows, and the pulley crossbows of the giant shield crossbowmen can ignore the defense of the two layers of scale armor and pierce directly into the flesh, plus the heavy city defense crossbows equipped on more than a dozen shooting platforms and overweight by the engineers, the centaurs suffered heavy casualties for a while.

At the same time, the Norman soldiers lit the beacon tower and informed them that their positions were attacked, so several camps next to them immediately ran along the periphery, the unhindered steppe to support, and the Norman soldiers gathered in this camp of less than three square kilometers exceeded 20,000 people in a blink of an eye, and soon as the first trench was filled, the centaurs rushed towards the second trench with a large number of corpses howling frantically, and a large number of lightly armed archers also joined the ranks of blocking and shooting.

"Heavenly Flame! Iron artillery! ”

The Centaurs were frantic and deadly, and as the formation advanced, the pressure on the Normans became more and more intense, and seeing their archers within range, the coalition forces immediately sent a large number of archers to shoot at the Norman soldiers on the wooden fences and firing platforms, although most of the bows and arrows were defended by the battlements and baffles, but still caused great trouble to the Normans, and casualties followed.

Front......

Randy and Artoria were hurrying this way......

Crossbowman Commander Robin Hood, Death Knight Captain Alpha, Archbishop Peter of the Battlefield Order,

The three high-ranking generals and the three army commanders, Joseph, Evan, Ivan, and all of them were absent, and the largest was only a few thousand commanders.

Originally, according to the military reform regulations, the commanders were not qualified to deploy and use such secret weapons.

But at this time, no one cared about these things, and a Norman infantry commander was very anxious, so he gave this order.

Since the commanders are like this, let alone the big soldiers below, after hearing the order, more than a dozen Norman infantrymen in heavy armor jumped directly from the two-meter-high wooden wall and stumbled towards the warehouse behind the material reserve.

As the cries of the centaurs drew nearer, the hideous and terrifying faces mixed with blood, dust, dirt, and blood could be seen clearly.

The second trench was almost filled, and the soldiers finally ran back, each holding several cans of Heavenly Flame, or a similar number of iron cannons, and a few soldiers struggling to carry up a one-meter-high oil drum filled with Heavenly Fire Oil.

"Kill those miscellaneous X's!"

The Norman soldiers erupted in cheers, and the catapults were quickly replaced with the latest heavenly fireworks.

"Launch!"

With the order of the Norman officer, hundreds of thousands of heavenly flame canisters were thrown, cutting a parabola in the air, and then falling to the ground, or the bodies of the centaurs shattered, spilling fire oil everywhere.

The flames on the fuse that had been lit earlier on the clay pot instantly burned into a large wall of fire that was nearly a man high.

"Fire!"

"Fire!!"

The centaur soldiers screamed and slapped the flames on their bodies, but the fire oil was directly attached to them, and they couldn't shoot it off, and the soldiers rolled, struggled, and ran like crazy, and spread the fire to other places, and the attacking centaur troops suddenly became chaotic.

Because there was a trench in front of the wooden wall and the barracks, the Norman soldiers could use the weapon without fear of fire on their heads.

"Good!"

Seeing the great power of the Heavenly Flames, the Norman soldiers immediately went to the warehouse to get more fire pots, and the longbowmen also took the cotton wool and cloth strips that were distributed, soaked them in the fire oil, tied them to their arrows and made simple rockets to shoot out, helping the fierce fire outside the Great Wall, as more and more fire oil tanks were thrown out, the battlefield outside turned into a sea of fire, the smell of burning, and the smell of barbecue, iron, leather, and burning stench mixed together, disgusting.

Compared with the very good results of Heavenly Flame, the explosion power of those iron cannons is not as good as imagined, for those lightly armed centaur archers, the iron pieces and iron filings on these explosions are undoubtedly deadly, but for the heavily armored centaur death squads, these explosions are not powerful enough, they can only cause very little damage, not even a little damage, but the violent explosion, and the choking smoke of gunpowder to a certain extent, also aggravate the chaos of the centaur army.

"It seems that this city cannot be breached."

Seeing that the outside of the barracks had become a sea of fire, the centaur Khan Ah Yujie couldn't help but close his eyes, extreme anger, anxiety, and a small amount of fear made this usually gentle middle-aged man red-eyed.

With a bang, he pulled out his scimitar from the gem-studded knife, followed by a weak, unwilling but helpless voice: "Retreat!" ”

Seeing the other party fleeing in disgrace, the Norman soldiers in the barracks cheered loudly, and after hearing these cheers, Ayujie Khan, who fled back in embarrassment, looked even worse.

In just half a day, more than 5,000 centaur warriors were killed.

In addition, the blow to the morale of the coalition forces is also quite large, and even Ayujie Khan has happened, can we win the battle? Such doubts.

The opponent's combat power is stronger than he imagined, and he has weapons beyond his imagination.

Although I have heard that a Roman Empire on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea once invented Greek fire oil that could be burned on the surface of the sea, I have never seen the actual thing, and now I think that this must be that kind of weapon, right? Sure enough, it is a terrifying weapon, it is okay in the field, the soldiers on both sides are entangled with each other, this weapon is not easy to fiddle with, but in the siege or defense of the city, shooting this fire pot through a stone thrower is a very terrifying means of attack.

On that day, there was another fierce quarrel within the coalition army, and some of the chieftains, who were intimidated by the Normans, hoped to negotiate with them.

"Even if we hand over some of the loot, it's better than waiting here to die together!"

"Nope! The Cumans are uncompromising, and the Normans are nothing more than a bunch of shrunken-headed turtles cowering in castles and not daring to fight head-on, how can they be compared to us? ”

"Wait! We still had a chance, we could leave from the swamps to the south, where there were no enemy castles and the defenses were not high. Several of the chiefs said.

"The swamp will greatly limit our mobility, not to mention that we still have a lot of loot with us, and if they want us to move through the swamp and then get trapped in the muddy pool, they will concentrate and attack our rear fiercely, and then we will be finished." Ayujie Khan, who had been silent, shouted.

The Cumans, the centaurs, all were silent for a while......

"Khan, do you have any other good ideas?"

"While the morale of our army has not dropped to the extreme, while we still have the strength to fight, we will submit a war letter to the Normans, and the battle will be about war, and in addition to this, we will send troops to harass the enemy's fortifications, and we cannot let them continue to advance inside, otherwise we will all be trapped to death."

The meeting ended in exclamations, invectives, and complaints.

Although he was not very satisfied, and he was also very afraid of the strength of the Normans, but now it seemed that there was no better way to carry out the accident of Ayujie Khan, so the combined forces of the Cumans and centaurs obeyed the orders of Ayujie Khan, sent troops to attack the Norman construction troops, and at the same time sent messengers to the Norman camp to deliver the war letter to the Norman Emperor Randy.

When the Norman Emperor, the treacherous and cunning, yellow-robed and crown-wearing, heard that an envoy from the opposing coalition had come to deliver the war letter, and his heart pounded with complete wickedness and cunning, the emperor came up with a very interesting idea.

When the Cuman emissary and the centaur emissary meet Randy together, they are treated very differently.

Randy graciously shudits the Centaur Emissary, who is two heads taller than her, and repeatedly claims his admiration for the Centaur Khan Ayujie and his feelings for the Centaurs as a true warrior race.

"We shouldn't be enemies, for centaurs, their favorite thing is the endless grassland, and I have no intention of capturing it, in fact this war can only be regarded as an unfortunate accident."

The Norman king, who slaughtered nearly 10,000 centaur warriors before and after, said to the centaur waiter in a deep voice, and then pulled him away, so that he feasted this guy, and the Norman wine and food were sent without money, and the inexplicable centaur warrior was half-convinced, not knowing what the Norman emperor wanted to do, seeing the aroma of wine and food in front of him, he couldn't help but open his mouth and start eating.

"If they wanted to kill me, they wouldn't have to do it this way." The centaur messenger thought so, and finally ate himself.

Randy's attitude towards the Cumans' emissaries, representatives of a dozen or more of the strongest Cuman tribes to be exact, was another matter.

"You lowly hyenas and vultures from the steppes who eat carrion, now you know how powerful our Norman Empire is, right? Tell you that I have prepared all the preparations and careful plans to completely destroy your tribe and army, and unless you surrender unconditionally to me, surrender your so-called steppe and property, and swear to be a slave to me and the Norman Empire for the rest of your life, I will never forgive you, and all of you will die. ”

A loud burst of words silenced the group of emissaries, and Randy tore the war book to shreds in front of them.

"You lowly fellows are completely unqualified to confront the Great Empire head-on."

Randy said so arrogantly, if it weren't for the dozens of heavily armed knights around him who looked at the envoys with bad intentions and sneered, then the Kuman envoys, who were also not very good-tempered, would probably have pounced on this emperor and fought desperately.

These envoys were later brought down to receive hospitality from the Normans.

Moldy black bread with green hairs, foul-smelling fish that looks like it's starting to rot, bacon that has grown maggots......

Compared to the treatment of centaur emissaries, these Cuman emissaries ate pig food.

Seeing that the Normans humiliated themselves so much, several Cuman envoys had a seizure on the spot, and were beaten by the Normans who were several times more numerous than them on both sides, and the Norman soldiers said while punching and kicking these Cuman envoys: "You idiots, you don't know how to reflect on yourself when you are in trouble, you dare to be so arrogant, you really don't know how to spell the word dead!" ”

While the Cuman envoys were struggling to resist, or holding their heads and squatting to defend, there were also a few hard-mouthed envoys who defended loudly: "We Cumans will not give in easily, we still have an army of more than 100,000 people, with more warriors and fast horses chasing the wind, as long as we attack with all our strength, your defenses will be like turtles that meet the hammer, and they will be smashed to bloody pulp." ”

The Norman soldier laughed, not at all impressed, and continued to punch and kick while shouting: "There will be an answer soon!" Hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Soon there will be only a few tens of thousands, and we Normans will add tens of thousands of the most elite soldiers. ”

"Shut up!"

The other Norman soldiers were furious and shouted at the soldier, and at the same time the force of the attack was greater, and the soldier also stopped moving, as if he had done something wrong, and looked at the Cuman soldiers' eyes full of murderous intent.

To be chosen as emissaries, these Cumans are not fools, or rather......

At this time, all of them reacted, moaning loudly one by one, and some even pretended to faint directly.

"Okay, if you beat them again, they'll die." Several Norman soldiers stopped moving.

"Just, kill them all." The soldier who had said it had leaked his mouth said before.

"No, they are also the messengers of a nation, and it is one thing to beat them, and it is another thing to kill them."

"But they ...... They may have heard that ......"

"It's okay, you see they're all beaten like bears, where can they remember?" The other Norman soldiers were relieved.

"Something is not right!"

"Why don't we go and ask the officer what he should do?"

"Good! Hurry. ”

A few Norman soldiers discussed with each other, and then walked out swearing.
