Chapter 63 Forward
readx;
Despite this, the soldiers of the Proton Army, who had made great contributions to the Mongol Empire, scolded loudly or pleaded. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info but Wokotai still has no mercy. After suffering two rounds of arrows, the Proton soldiers turned around in some frustration, ready to continue their fight with the Normans. Others turned around and ran towards the two wings of the Mongols next to them—while Chagatai and Torrey, perhaps trying to expand their strength, or simply trying to embarrass Ögedai. Accepted these proton army routs like this. Let the way go, and let the routs pass.
Seeing what his two brothers had done, Wokotai was angry and hateful. But there is no way. On the other hand, Egil, who occupied a hill in a good position and saw this scene condescendingly, turned up the corners of his mouth and showed a sudden smile.
"Genghis Khan, you old wolf, after all, only gave birth to a few pups. Egil chuckled, adding a little more confidence in his eventual victory.
Victory, victory, and victory. Egil could already imagine what it would be like after this victory, with corpses everywhere and the Black Death spreading, leaving not a single person left on the continent...... Uh, sorry, I made a mistake, but I became the number one monarch in the world.
So it's really tempting to say that the title of world number one is really tempting. The world's No. 1 Pokémon trainer, the world's No. 1 detective, the world's No. 1 magician or something. And what Egil wants is the world's first monarch.
That's right, defeating Genghis Khan can be said to be the strongest army commander in the world. Having ruled the whole of Europe, he can be said to be the strongest ruler in the world. It's as if Egil had a title before, with Brussel surpassing Solomon and Martial Honor surpassing Alexander—and now, these two "beep" Egil no longer looked down on. What is Solomon?!, just a little king who can play a little trick. What is Alexander? Just a martial artist on the rampage. This world is the only one, and everything else is scum!
From a big boy who would be scared when he heard Gustav's name, to an uncle who thought like this. In total, it took Egil only ten years. And seeing that the Norman Empire's vanguard fought bravely, it had firmly occupied the advantage. The Norman Emperor was naturally more determined in this idea. And continue to urge the army to move forward, storm!
The morale of the Norman army was like a rainbow, and under the guidance of four Norman new army corps, a total of forty ultra-long spear phalanxes arranged in two columns, and an array of twenty regiments, they charged towards the Mongols like a mountain and a tsunami!
"Attack, soldiers, we attack! Two years ago, it was these Mongols who attacked us, and now it's our turn to take revenge, we are attacking these Mongols!!"
The Norman officers at the forefront shouted excitedly, igniting the anger and enthusiasm of the Norman soldiers under their command. The Norman army maintained an array of super-long spear phalanxes and advanced in an orderly manner. It was in stark contrast to the Mongols, who were uncertain and hesitant to move forward.
"Forward, counterattack, counterattack! Maintain your own front! Send a heavy cavalry to attack the opponent's flank!!" Seeing that the own army on the front line began to stop charging under the pressure of the Normans, they became cautious. Ogedai sighed secretly, and then shouted the order. Changed his strategy and turned the offense into a defense. At the same time, a group of 20,000 Mongol heavy cavalry troops were sent to make a detour back to the Norman flank and charge. to change today's declining trend.
"It's left-wing. Send three regiments of the new army to form a defensive line to hold back those men. At the same time, repeating crossbowmen and crossbowmen will also be dispatched. ”
However, such a tactic was quickly seen through by Egil. The Norman Emperor snorted, and drew out the three new regiments of the second column at the far edge of the left flank, and dispatched most of the repeating crossbowmen and some of the heavy crossbowmen. Such an approach is slightly left offensive force. But there's not much danger in that. After all, the other side deployed the Persian legion of Chagatai on the left flank. These low-fighting armies.
While the two sides are adjusting their tactics, the forwards of both sides have begun to play each other. Use a phalanx of spears reinforced by crossbowmen as a means of attack. The array of ultra-long spears that marched hand in hand was almost unstoppable. When encountering a stronger obstacle, the crossbowmen and musketeers will focus on killing them.
Although the speed of this advance was a bit problematic, it was not as good as before, and the Norman assault infantry howled and rushed to kill. But it's better to be stable. Absolute parallelism was maintained between the regiments in order to maintain the entire front. There will be no concentrated attacks on protruding areas. There will also be no dents to focus on. The Norman army was peaceful and steadily attacked. It's like a slow, but rather devastating magma, advancing little by little, swallowing up everything little by little.
"Please, General Subutai!"
Seeing that their own troops were losing and retreating, small groups of troops were constantly crushed, and there was a trend of avalanche effect. Wo Kotai gritted his teeth and said to Subutai.
"Hmm. Immediately afterwards, the Mongolian star Subutai once again used the Khan Eagle skill. On the battlefield, the morale of the Mongol army was suddenly boosted. Begin an methodical organizational counterattack.
"Oh. And such tactics...... One plus one plus one plus one?" Seeing that the Mongol army was rejuvenated, Egil was not in a hurry and chuckled. Take a closer look at the battlefield. And gradually, with the losses of the new army in the front gradually increasing, the reserves in the rear were replaced, and the shock of the Norman assault infantry was used to make up for the disadvantage in formation. And continue to maintain an offensive posture.
Although the Norman assault infantry, who were too fanatical and liked to assault and armed with a long-handled battle axe, could not cooperate well with the new Norman army that pursued a stable formation, it was enough in the face of these degraded Mongols.
"Nothing but cavalry. The frontal garrison of the battlefield was so weak. It's just not what it looks like. Egil snorted. However, he ignored his own initiative to attack and chased to the gate of the Mongol camp, so that the other side did not have enough time and space to arrange the tactics of cavalry maneuvering. In such a situation, the Mongol soldiers had to dismount from their horses, armed with long contradictory cards, and fought in infantry formations that they were not familiar with. In this way, the Normans, the infantry nation, naturally had an absolute advantage.
"It's just, it's not enough. ”
Seeing the Mongols retreating, Egil was still not satisfied. The big battle, which began around ten o'clock in the morning, has now been going on for almost four hours. However, the Mongols were only "losing and retreating". Although a small number of troops were lost. But the main forces were not lost. In addition, the Mongols still had tens of thousands of elite heavy cavalry, as well as a cowardly army that was unparalleled in the world. Egil would not be reassured if these armies were not crushed. Nor will it be reconciled.
"Well, let's use more aggressive tactics. Egil thought so and began to adjust his formation. In the front of the opponent's combat effectiveness and counterattack, the Norman new army, which is still the main force, is steadily advancing with a phalanx of super long spears. On the left flank, where the opponent was preparing to break through, a larger number of phalanx infantry began to be assembled. The defensive array formed by the shield spearmen of the reserve was also pushed to the side to prevent the opponent from breaking through.
The most important thing is the right wing. With about 200,000 Han troops whose combat effectiveness was not too strong, as the main body, the left flank of the Mongol army under the command of Prince Torre was the site chosen by the Norman Emperor for this round of breakthrough! Under the dispatch of the Norman Emperor, the army forward of the Norman right flank (that is, the left wing of the Mongols) has gradually changed from a phalanx of super-long spears to a Norman assault infantry with amazing impact, and the reserve troops at the forefront have all been replaced by powerful assault troops such as long-handled axes, two-handed swords, and two-handed halberds.
In addition, the elite of the Norman Empire, which had been hidden for a long time, also began to appear - a Norman knight thousand, and five Norman royal knight hundreds. A total of 1,500 elite heavy cavalry. Plus the Black Dragon Knights from Brandenburg. As well as some of the noble heavy cavalry of Eastern Europe, as well as the Frankish heavy cavalry from Flanders - this heavy cavalry force of more than 3,000 men added up to the protagonist of Egil's round of flank attacks!
"It's still not as good as the Mongols...... After all, they robbed half of the old world, and their family background is really not comparable...... "Seeing that the Mongols are 20,000 heavy cavalry in one assault. And it took me half a day to make up more than 3,000. Egil felt a little depressed. But it was quickly recovered.
"After defeating the Mongols, the world is mine. When the time comes, you can build as many heavy cavalry as you want......" Egil thought as he could, caught in the delusion of 100,000 iron cavalry, and raised his hand to announce the attack.
The Torre section of the right flank suddenly jumped for a while! Before, Wokotai saw that the right flank was inappropriate. It was seen that Egil was preparing to launch a large-scale offensive on the right flank. But when he repeatedly sent messages to Torre to be vigilant, Torre didn't make too many moves. It's like sitting and waiting to die.
"What a waste! It's all waste!!How did Father Khan give birth to such a son?!What a shame!! Seeing his right flank faltering under the charge of the enemy's heavy cavalry, and throwing off his armor under the onslaught of the enemy's assault infantry—a large force of nearly 200,000 men was ravaged by the Normans almost without resistance. Wo Kuotai's face was pale. I couldn't help but scold......
