=====================================================

That's it, in September. The Mongol armies and the Normans were still in a stalemate, and on the whole, the two countries had been holding each other for three months in the absolute defensive circle of Moscow. No one can help anyone. The Mongols lost more than 200,000 lives in front of the Norman line, the fortress. A large amount of supplies were consumed. And in the end, Moscow's absolute defense circle remained as strong as Mount Tai.

If this continues, it is impossible to say, this will evolve into another battle of Xiangyang. The two sides have been tugging back and forth around a defensive system for decades. Neither Egil nor Temujin wanted to see such an outcome - no, if it was Egil, it would be a happy end. After all, Genghis Khan didn't have a few years to live. The Mongol god fell. Then the Mongol Empire would most likely have withdrawn. Next time, it was Genghis Khan's sons who came to fight Egil.

The Norman emperor's eyes were above the top. No one cares except one Genghis Khan. Although among the children and grandchildren of the Golden Family, there are also quite a few talents. But they had neither the power nor the prestige of Temujin. There are even great contradictions between them. A fragmented Mongol empire could not stop the Norman counteroffensive.

So, as long as Egil continues to die. Survive until Genghis Khan died. Then he can be regarded as having survived. Of course, a better outcome would have been for Egil to defeat Genghis Khan openly. Become the world's number one conqueror, then unify Eurasia with a devastating force. Laying the foundation of immortality......

Of course, this is a little more difficult. But who knows. When Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, and Liu Bei were all deflated, who knew that they would eventually become emperors? Just like Egil was just the little count of Biard back then, who knew that he could become emperor? Yingzheng was just the son of a hostage, and the day was precarious. Who knew he would become emperor? Genghis Khan lost his father at an early age, his tribe was separated, and he was blind. Who knows he'll ...... Well, Genghis Khan did not claim to be emperor - but his grandson Yuan Shizu posthumously crowned him. So this one counts too!

"Other than that. I'd love to defeat that guy too. In this way, when those idle guys in the future generations rank among the world's generals, most of them will be able to rank me first. ”

On this day, the Mongol army was still on the offensive. The Norman army remained on the defensive. Both sides have almost figured out each other's routines. That's basically what it was like when it started a war. After three days and five days, Egil got tired of it. He's not a homicidal maniac like Artoria. The smell of blood makes you feel good. So. Rather than watching the Mongol slaves being slaughtered on the city wall, Egil still likes to stay in the rear and talk about life and ideals with beautiful girls. Of course. It must be in a secluded place. Can't let people find out. Otherwise, it will shake the morale of the army.

Although the Norman Empire set up military prostitute camps. But because it was in times of war, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, so that they would not be stupid, they would spend their physical strength on unnecessary things. Therefore, at such times, they are not allowed to enter the military prostitute camp casually. Of course, the military prostitutes did not raise them for nothing. Cleaning, making sundries. That's enough for them. It's kind of a waste use.

After the war is won, the military prostitute camp will be opened. Let the soldiers have fun. Speaking of which. It is also a way to motivate soldiers to fight and win. and a reward for the soldiers. ...,

That's pretty much it. These soldiers, although well trained. But he is still a rude man at heart. Despite the fact that Egil was the emperor. But the military emperor, who has always flaunted that he shares weal and woe with his soldiers, still cares about the feelings of these people. At least on the surface, yes.

However, it does not seem to be the best way to continue the war in this way. Egil was slightly worried. After getting acquainted with the Mongol wars, and, in the beginning, the Mongols were so powerful that they had a terrible way of attacking, and a large number of siege machines. It did put a lot of pressure on the soldiers. But after a dozen, dozens of successful defenses. The Norman army, especially the improvised militia, more or less generated: "The other side is nothing more than that, such a feeling." ”

So, slacking off is not a good sign. If there really is any unexpected situation, judging by the current situation of the army, I am afraid that it will suffer losses.

After thinking about these things, Egil decided to organize the conscripts who did not have their turn for the time being, and did not need to go to the city walls for combat missions. Conduct military training. Although this will cause them to consume more stamina, it will also indirectly increase the consumption of food and other materials. After all, if you consume physical strength, you need to eat more. However, Egil felt that even if the consumption was a little larger, it was better than letting these Qiu Ba idle and have nothing to do.

So, in September, Egil drew up a training plan, dividing the more than 300,000 conscripts who were on the front line and the more than 700,000 conscripts on the second line into thirteen armies according to the hell in which they were located, six in Eastern Europe, three in Scandinavia, two in England, one in North Saxony, and one in Flanders. And a more detailed training plan was developed. Infantry drills, cavalry drills. It is hoped that these reservists will become more regularized and improve their combat effectiveness as much as possible.

After more than a week of preparation, the training, or drills, or military exercises, officially began. Whether it is the subject, the system, or the method, it is very scientific. Therefore, it was welcomed by the soldiers. Taking advantage of the situation, Egil named this training the Autumn Parade, and officially established it as the system of the Empire.

Egil stipulates that the autumn of each year, of course, must be after the autumn harvest. All the reserve forces will be assembled according to the 13 group armies that have been organized and trained before. Carry out large-scale military training activities. And in the process of training, confrontation between various army groups is encouraged. Confrontation items were stipulated, divided into first, second, and third grades, and the thirteen group armies were ranked up and down. Rewards are distributed, and more rewards are awarded to groups or individuals who perform well in the parade. Even, those who perform particularly well can be received by His Majesty the Emperor, awarded medals, and even become knights (nobles don't even think about it, bastard!).

And just like that, September also passed. More and more information was sent to Egil, and after this period of preparation, the southern troops of the Mongol army, those entrenched in Central Asia and Persia, were ready to advance towards Syria in the Near East. And the Eastern Roman Empire, which received Egir's aid, also went all out to unleash its war machine. Basil II was once again desperate. Take out most of the power in his hands.

The newly formed, as well as the old, totaled fifteen regular Roman legions. 150,000 professional troops composed of Roman heavy infantry, crossbowmen and standard [wooden warehouse] hands, and Eastern Roman [wooden warehouse] cavalry, plus full recovery, once again reached the size of 7,000 ironclad holy cavalry, full 10,000 Praetorian cavalry regiment. There were also 10,000 Vadateri archers from the Yugoslav region, recruited from the Seljuk Turkic cavalry corps...... The best of the Eastern Roman Empire is at its best. Nearly 200,000 troops. It was already the limit of the army that the empire could mobilize today. If something goes wrong with this army.........

"How can there be no problems, there will definitely be problems. Really, that white idiot......"

Egil was very surprised and annoyed by Basil II's lavish spending. Although the Norman Emperor hoped to weaken the strength of Eastern Rome as much as possible, he never thought that he would finish all the regular armies of Eastern Rome at once! You have more nomadic Mongols than people who occupy most of Asia and take a completely reckless military route, don't you feel uncomfortable? The other side can come up with 500,000 troops at once. Gather troops casually, and it's 2.5 times your strength. The commander of the army is also a famous general. It is completely impossible to win! If the Eastern Roman army is lost, then what will be used to defend Constantinople?

Well, the last sentence is the point.

Although the Norman Empire had a strong enough navy, it was possible to block the Dardanelles. But after all, as I said before, this is just a drop in the bucket. If the other party dies and fights hard, it is still unknown whether he can hold it with the navy alone. Therefore, it is better to have an extra layer of insurance, which is better.

But now it seemed unlikely, and Egil carefully estimated the fighting power that the Mongols had, as well as the fighting power that the Eastern Rome possessed. In the end, it was concluded that if there were no surprises, then the Mongols would most likely have won.

"When the time comes...... Prepare more ships, anchor in the ports of the Near East, and then try to bring as many Eastern Roman soldiers as you can. Egil thought.

At this time, Egil did not know that because of his "kind" move, it would cause an unprecedented tragedy. The variable that Egil imagined, the "accident", did occur. But this "accident" was a hundred times more unexpected than Egil imagined - after a month of fermentation, the city of Damascus has been completely contaminated by the plague! 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city suffered heavy casualties, and the Mongol vanguard army attacked the city and breached Damascus!
