When there was no sound around them, the Cumans, who were still moaning, immediately got up, and just as they tried to speak, they were covered by their companions.

"Be quiet, we're in danger now, let's go, and we'll talk about it when we get back."

The messengers nodded in unison, and staggered away.

During the escape, the Cuman envoys looked around, some Norman fighters were drilling, the baggage soldiers were busy carrying supplies, the engineers were reinforcing the fortifications, and some Normans noticed these guys with blue noses and swollen faces, but they all only glanced at it and turned their heads to do their own thing, it seems that the Norman soldiers who are afraid of leaking secrets have not yet spread the news, which means that they are still undesirable, but there is no danger to the messengers.

The messengers breathed a sigh of relief, quickened their pace a little, reached the stable, and asked for their mounts, and then flew away from the Norman camp.

The Norman soldier at the gate complained and cursed, and at the same time pulled the wheel, opening a crack in the heavy iron-clad gate, and just when the messenger felt that he had finally escaped, a voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Stop, don't let them run." sound!!

The messengers turned their heads sharply, and saw the Norman soldiers who had beaten them before running quickly, and they were immediately frightened, and climbed onto their horses, and beat their mounts under their crotches with all their might, and fled as fast as they could.

At this moment, standing on a shooting platform not far from the gate, the initiator of everything, Emperor Randy smiled.

"It can make a difference! At least make them suspicious of each other! ”

After saying these words, His Majesty the Emperor burst out laughing as if he had finished some mischief.

"Maybe the final result is better than expected, after all, they are just a group of uninformed grassland barbarians, and most of the other party will believe it." A communication came from Aurora, the imperial capital of Krakow, and said.

"If that's the case, then it's fun to watch, how is it going?"

"Today's work is not going well, and the other party is starting to work hard."

In the void in front of Randy, an image resembling an electronic image of the battle of Moscow appeared.

Several places on the map are circled in red......

"Several areas under construction were raided, and the number of the opposing army's troops was full of thousands of people, and it came very suddenly, and only part of the fortifications could not provide good shelter, so that the fortifications were damaged to a certain extent, but the enemy who raided also lost nearly a thousand people."

"The enemy is losing a total of nearly a thousand? Or is it almost a thousand losses in a single region? ”

"A single point!"

"So the other side lost nearly 4,000 soldiers?"

"Yes!"

"Then if this kind of war is fought a few times, the other side will be finished, right?"

When the group of Cuman envoys with blue noses and swollen faces met in the camp of the Khan, the drunken centaur envoys who had returned a day late, things became lively.

Enraged, the Cumans cursed and insisted that they had been betrayed by their centaur allies, and although some of the Cumans remained calm, it was clear that this group was only a minority, and the Centaur Khan Ayujie repeatedly claimed that this was a Norman ploy and a trap, but the Cumans did not want to listen to his explanation.

Eventually, when his son was killed on the battlefield, an emotional Cuman chieftain shouted and drew his scimitar and slashed at Ayujie, and the situation was completely out of control.

The Cumans shouted loudly, and some of the Cuman chieftains were agitated and drew their scimitars.

Ayujie Khan's guards also drew their scimitars and raised their battle axes, and a fire was about to begin.

"Stop!"

Ayujie Khan shouted angrily, his voice shocking the Cumans and centaurs who were about to charge.

"I've made it clear enough that these are the trajectories of the Normans, who do you think will be happy to do it? It's the Normans, who, when we're exhausted, will rush over and wipe us out. ”

"Humph! Of course you don't want to fight, you want to save your strength so that you can grab a good position in front of your new master. ”

As soon as Ayujie's words calmed down the Cumans, they heard another strange voice from the crowd, and after hearing this kind of words, the Cumans became alert again.

In the end, nothing came out of the meeting, and the Cumans discussed it in private, and the next day they moved their army camps together, consciously or unconsciously, and separated them from the centaur army, and at the same time were unwilling to obey the orders of Ayuj Khan in the attack on the Norman engineers.

After a few days, the Cumans suffered heavy losses due to improper command, and some small accidents occurred during the period, some Cuman chieftains were assassinated, and some small things commonly used by centaurs were left at the scene of the assassination, and in the process of attacking the Normans, things were detected in advance, and then ambushed, and a series of things such as deepened the contradictions between the Cumans and the centaurs.

Ayuj Khan was also extremely agitated, and he tried to renegotiate with the Cumans.

In fact, there are some sensible people among the Cumans, who believe that Ayujie Khan did not defect to the Normans, and that things have not reached the end of the mountain, and the future is still bright.

Unfortunately, these clever Cuman chieftains were assassinated shortly after they came into contact with Ayuj Khan, and as mentioned earlier, there were clues to the centaurs.

The Cumans finally couldn't help it!

In peacetime, although the various tribes of the Cuman attack each other and have hatred for each other, but at the same time, the various tribes inevitably marry each other and fight against foreign enemies. The Cuman chieftains, in a mixture of anger and panic, made the most wrong judgment, gathered their troops, turned on their horses, arranged their bows and arrows, and slaughtered the centaur camp on the side.

Ayujie Khan did not want to fight the Cumans at such a time, but there were still precautions.

After a brief period of panic, the centaurs began to put up an organized resistance, with the heavily armored centaurs forming a defensive front, the centaurs armed with bows and arrows shooting from behind, and the lightly armed centaurs attacking from both flanks, unleashing a powerful charge.

Slightly inferior in numbers but superior in quality to a large centaur army, the Cumans lasted only a short time before crushing, the centaurs cheering in celebration of victory, but their khan Ayujie remained frowning.

Ayujie Khan let out a long sigh: "It's still come this far!" It seems that you will have to rely on yourself in the future. ”

That night, the news of the fire and the flames of the Cumans and the centaurs reached Randy, and while he was proud of the success of his strategy, he was shocked by the combat effectiveness of the centaurs, and the 80,000 Cuman army, even if the command was different, fought separately, but it only took one day to defeat it, and the combat effectiveness of the centaurs was indeed terrifying.

"So what's next?" Randy looked a little helpless, and took the secret letter to the lamp oil and burned it, thinking as he burned it.

After this battle, although the Cumans still have tens of thousands of soldiers to fight, but there is no organization and morale, but it is just a plate of scattered sand, it is easy to eliminate it, in fact, since yesterday there have been a lot of lonely, or groups of Cumans took the initiative to surrender to our army, of course, how to deal with these prisoners of war is also a problem, for the centaurs, although they still have the strength to fight, but the shrewd khan must not want to fight, right?

The Norman Empire should negotiate with the Centaurs, and the Cumans may have expanded their power much as a result of the Cumans' heavy losses, so that the Centaur tribes east of the Ural Mountains may be another shield against the Mongol invasion.

Randy thought like this, but because he was thinking too much, the paper flame in his hand burned his hand, and Randy's hand shook and knocked over the oil lamp, if it weren't for Sonia guarding by him, I am afraid that it might have caused a fire, and the destructive power of the Norman Emperor can be seen.

But in the end, things were beyond Lan's expectations, Ayujie Khan didn't look at his letter after receiving it, he tore the letter to shreds, cut off the diplomat with a knife, and threatened to fight the Norman Empire endlessly, and cut off Randy's head as a toilet, which made Randy feel a little strange, judging from his previous performance, Ayujie is not the kind of person who will get angry and act rashly.

But Randy is still a little wrong in the end, although Ayujie Khan's cultivation is very good, wisdom and experience are not low, but in the final analysis, he is still a centaur, in the bones is the kind of heroic and stubborn character of a centaur, after being calculated by the Norman Empire, the arrogant centaur Khan really can't accept the fact that he was calculated fiercely, if before this, he still has a little bit of peace with the Norman Empire, then now there is only anger left.

It is not without reason to make such an erroneous judgment at such a time, as in the recent mantra of Ayuj Khan: "Too much deception!" ”

Randy finally has to pay for his mistakes......

May ......

The peasants of Muscovy were in a hurry, and if they did not sow any more seeds, they were afraid that this year's grain would be finished, so the Moscow nobles repeatedly urged Randy to hope that His Majesty the Emperor would be sympathetic to the people of Moscow and end the war as soon as possible.

When Randy heard about this, he didn't agree or sympathize with the Muscovites at all, but said angrily, "You want Tuansheng? Just let the Normans take their lives to fill in? How can there be such a good thing in the world? ”

But these words are just a complaint in the stomach......

While the Rose nobles looked at her with blank eyes, Randy's statement was something else.

"Don't worry, I have already made a perfect plan, and within May, I can let the enemy army be captured!"

"Tied up? Is it by virtue of the fortification system? Some of the Rus' nobles asked, but Emperor Randy laughed annoyedly and said nothing.

If you really want to rely on this circle of denser and denser fortifications, it is not impossible to trap the centaurs to death, but it will take a long time, at least half a year.

How could Randy, hundreds of thousands of people in a second, spend so much time fighting centaurs?

What's more, what's the use of annihilating all the centaurs? Randy's real enemies were not them, but the more distant Mongols, as Bismarck, the Prussian iron-blooded vizier, put it:

"Don't kill all the enemies who can be friends in the future!"

Randy didn't really want to wipe out the Centaurs, but it wasn't Randy's plan to let them just get away with it and return to the Kazan Horde.

In fact, Randy already had a plan to force down the centaurs, and in order for this plan to be implemented smoothly, Randy needed to delay a little, and finally agreed with the centaurs to fight on May 1st, and finally waited for the news from the Norman Empire.

In the Norman Empire, a hilly area 100 kilometers outside Krakow.

The battle between the Centaur raiders and the 50,000 Norman troops commanded by Joan of Arc had reached a fever pitch.

Although Aurora devalued the original firearm, this did not stop Emperor Randy's determination to research this new weapon, as Aurora said, the greatest power of a new weapon is not how many people he can kill, but deterrence.

The rapid projectile flew forward at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, sinking deep into the body, and the soldiers were knocked down before they could feel what was happening, accompanied by a violent roar, fire, smoke, it all seemed to happen inexplicably, the soldier died like this, what could be more shocking than this?

The source of the idea for the early firecracker was a discussion in a scientific research institute.

A gunpowder craftsman who studied gunpowder weapons, after a long period of thought, seemed to have found some kind of idea, and he told his friend, a blacksmith who also worked in a scientific institute and specialized in metallurgy and alloy forging.

The gunpowder craftsman couldn't wait to tell his friend about it.

"This kind of thing will have a huge impetus after exploding, although at first glance the penetration of this kind of iron pieces and iron filings is not strong, but that is because the explosion occurs in all directions, and the power of the explosion is not enough to form too strong penetration after it spreads out."

"What are you trying to express?" The blacksmith was a little baffled.

"I think of it this way, if we make a strong enough steel pipe, put the gunpowder in it, and let it explode, then the gunpowder in the other direction will be blocked, and the impetus of the gunpowder explosion will be fixed in the direction that the tube is pointing, what do you think of this idea?"

"Sounds great! Can you give it a try, so you want me to provide this steel pipe that is strong enough? ”

"Yes!"

"Then if you succeed in inventing a weapon, you will invite me to drink!"

So after a long period of hard work and experimentation, the first early firecracker was made.

Although the range is very short, the power is not as great as imagined, and the accuracy is not as good as the Norman Empire's exquisite crossbows, but as a new weapon, the early firearms, which are rough, bulky, recoiling, and have a very high failure rate, are still favored by Randy, and are used as experimental weapons to arm a group of 200 early firearms to be commanded by Joan of Arc, which is the same firearms that Joan of Arc used a few days ago to deter the armed forces of the Rus and Polish nobles.
