At that time, there was indeed a slight accident. Genghis Khan did not bless the Mongol army with the Mongol military god skills when they advanced. Instead, he wanted to lower the morale of these servants to a certain extent after entering the range of the Norman Empire's weapons, and then bless them with skills. After all, the amount of time these people can be affected by the God of War skill is only six hours. If you bless too early, then in less than a day, the military god skill will be invalid.
So, Genghis Khan's idea is good. But he really didn't expect that these servant armies would collapse all at once, and their speed was so fast that he didn't have time to react. The 50,000 besieging troops trampled on each other and suffered heavy casualties. The army array was also in utter confusion. And behind them, the Normans still poured their long-range firepower. It's a very nerve-wracking scene.
Although the vast majority of the servant army had fled from the Norman Empire's long-range fire range. The Empire is doing this now, and there is a slight suspicion of wasting the impeachment medicine. However, it seems to be to show that he is strong, or to intimidate those who dare to attack him. The Norman engineers, under the orders of the Emperor, continued to work tirelessly, unfurling their fire at an even, unhurried and slow pace.
It's at times like these. Genghis Khan used the skills of the Mongol god of war. The panicked Mongol servants, after a moment of confusion, found that the fear in their hearts was gone. And the mood has also experienced fear, doubt, shame, and anger. Such a process. After this, the soldiers gradually recovered, thanks to the efforts of their officers. Begin to reorganize and regroup. And seeing the other party cheating, he regained his composure. Egil snorted coldly. A beckon. The horn sounded to order the Norman engineers to stop the attack.
That's it. The end of a round of contest. Mongol servant armies killed by Norman fire, or trampled on each other. In just two hours, more than 10,000 people were killed! More than 20 percent of all kinds of siege machinery were lost. Those who are focused on taking care of the return guns. It was either destroyed by Norman iron artillery, stone shells, crossbows [wooden barns], or by the Mongol servants. Panicked soldiers smashed it. Losses were particularly high, amounting to a third. It's close to 200 units.
Although the Mongol generals were not as able to pass through the system as quickly as Egil. Roughly count the casualties. But looking at the bleak conditions at the front. They know it too. How much did they lose in this confrontation - the slaves of those servant armies died and died. They don't have heartache. They are sad about the siege machines that took a long time to make, and more importantly - face!
The Mongol Empire was invincible in the northern part of the Central Plains, and in the wars with the Liao State and the Jin State, it also attacked heavily defended cities. Especially the battle of attacking the Great Wall Juyong Pass that year. It has also cost countless lives, money, and experiences. Eventually, I had to find another entrance. Send an elite detour, then attack from both sides. Only then did the victory. When fighting against Persia and the Timurid Empire, the core city of Central Asia, Samarkand, and the big cities with advanced Islamic defense technology. It also gave the Mongol army countless troubles -
But never has it failed so completely!
Those enemies - either with bows and arrows, or crossbows, or throwing stones, wooden slets, wolf fangs, or boiling oil, waste water, gold juice, urn city jack gates, arrow towers and caves...... In any case, there are many means. But it was not as ...... as the Norman Empire So...... It's simply outrageous, outrageous! The well-informed Mongol generals, who have traveled from south to north, have never seen anyone arrange so many large machines and drop such dense firepower at such a distance...,
"So a barbarian is a barbarian. "Seeing the opposing army's panicked regrouping. But he hesitated because he couldn't find enough siege machinery. Egil snorted softly and whispered something like this. Around Egil, the generals and the noble commanders of the allied forces also laughed easily. For the first time, in a war between the Norman Empire and the Mongols, the Norman Empire had the absolute upper hand.
"The Great Khan – The Great Khan ......"
Just as the morale of the Norman Empire was high and the Mongol army was at a loss, Genghis Khan was wondering what to do. Guo Kan, the commander of the Mongol Servant Army, ran over in a panic, as if to show his "bravery" and "hard work." "I don't know where this guy's slug has gone. Loose hair. There were still a lot of blood stains on his body - most of them were his "credit" for killing the defeated soldiers.
As he shouted, he ran over, knelt down in front of Temujin, and shouted, "Please give your subordinates another chance!" And the surrounding Mongol generals all looked at him coldly-although the firepower of the Norman Empire was beyond everyone's imagination. It can be said that it is a crime of non-war. But who made him the commander-in-chief of this army? The Mongol army lost face, and naturally wanted to be angry with this guy. And many people who usually look at this guy unpleasantly, have also made up their minds for a while to fall into the well.
It's just that the Mongolian generals didn't expect it. After thinking about it for a while, Genghis Khan did not directly cut down this insignificant guy or punish him heavily, as many people thought. Instead, he waved his hand and said:
“...... Well, there you go. This time, we must fight well! We must let the Normans see the majesty of the Mongol army! Otherwise, we will not spare it!!"
Hearing Genghis Khan say this, Guo Kan looked excited. He kowtowed again. After saying a word, "Never live up to the weight of the Great Khan!" he got up and ran in the direction of the battlefield. After a while, more siege machinery and equipment from the rear, as well as hoplites with a total of 15,000 Mongol servants, joined the attack group. This army has been restored to combat effectiveness again. Even more than before.
And after all this hectic work. Morning, noon has passed. The Norman army was the garrison. Naturally, some logistics soldiers took advantage of the existing supplies and warmed up the minced meat and bread and sent them to the city tower. And for the Mongol army that participated in the war. Anyway, I ate some jerky and drank water. There was strength, too. It's just that the Mongol servant army who is preparing to continue the battle is suffering. For most of the day, the water and rice did not enter. All the effort is spent on reorganizing the formation and replenishing the machinery. At this moment, Guo Kan begged for a military order, but they still had to attack hard.
Fortunately, under the influence of Genghis Khan's large-scale military god skills, the morale of these troops, as well as the will to fight, which had been tossed for a long time, were still good. It's just that the physical strength is inevitably depleted......
"There are about three hours left...... "Egil took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and calculated how long the opponent's military god skill was left. Immediately after seeing the opposite, the soldiers of the Mongolian servant army rushed over again, with a fierce momentum and a lot faster speed!
"Prepare to attack, no need to say more, hit hard!" Egil also waved his hand, and ordered.
On the other side, in the midst of the Mongolian servant army, Guo Kan also shouted fiercely: "Don't retreat! Whoever retreats will be killed, and even sit on his family! If a team of 1,000 people retreats, he will kill the commander! If a team of 100 people retreats, he will kill the centurion! If he retreats, he will kill the commander, and if he retreats, he will kill all this army! Do you hear it?
Under the influence of the skills of the Mongolian military god, such a purely threatening declaration won a burst of cheers and shouts from the servant army. Followed by. The beast-like Mongol servant army entered the Norman Empire's firepower! Before that, the overwhelming stone bullets, crossbows [wooden barns], iron cannons, and heavenly flame canisters came to the face again!
"Group the machines into groups! Each group is designed to bombard one place. Be far and near. The whole thing is spread out! The front of the battlefield is completely covered. Make all enemies, whether forward, backward, left or right. None of them can escape the fate of being bombarded to the scum by our army!"
Soon, after observing the attack patterns of his large machines, Egil noticed something that needed to be improved. There are quite a few large machines, all aimed at the same place and launched. In this way, firepower that could have killed more enemies was wasted in the same area. After a little thought, Egil gave such an order, hoping that the engineers would make adjustments. Maximize the firepower superiority of the Norman army.
Although, such an adjustment does not seem to be done all at once. However, after such an order from Egil. The engineers, mainly the commanders of the engineering corps, General Asami of the Norman Empire, who was in charge of fire, artillery, and large mechanical units, thought of the benefits of this. And as slightly as possible, some adjustments were made. This increased the number of Mongol servants killed under Norman fire.
The battlefield is littered with severed limbs, corpses and broken armor, and destroyed mechanical remains. Eyeballs, brains, internal organs, various bodily fluids and a large amount of dark red blood. Make the march route of the Mongol servants look like a slaughterhouse, or a crime scene where thousands of psychopathic murderers are concentrated in their crimes. The scene is bloody, tyrannical and insane. However, this could not stop the advance of the Mongol servants, who seemed to be insane, and turned a blind eye to the bloody scenes around them. And so it came within range of the Norman crossbowmen!
And it's still moving on!!(To be continued...... If you like this work, you are welcome to ◤◢ to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is the author's greatest motivation. )
