In fact, the situation was not only very unfavorable for the Normans, but also unacceptable for the Mongols.

600,000 troops. Even the Mongols seem to be a rather large number. You know, after continuous wars, the army that the Mongols have today is basically so much. Genghis Khan had high expectations for an army of 600,000 on the southern route. Hopefully, they will be able to defeat the Normans from the flanks, as Borshu said.

However, a plague wiped out the 600,000-strong army. A large number of elite soldiers died of the Black Death. And the rest of the people are also precarious. I don't know when I'm going to see Immortal Heaven. Although the Black Death was a virulent infectious disease, it had been circulating among the Mongolian community for a long time. The Mongols were somewhat resistant to this. As a result, the impact is smaller than that of the defenseless Europeans, and the mortality rate after infection is much lower.

However, this does not mean that the Mongols are completely immune to pneumonic plague. I was able to leave it unaffected.

The 600,000-strong army on the southern Mongolian road only lasted a short time longer than the Eastern Roman army, and dragged down the Eastern Roman army with this "short time". However, this is already the limit. Less than a week after the rout of the Eastern Romans. Among the Mongol armies, the Black Death was also prevalent on a large scale. The Mongol general Borshu, who commanded this large army, also suffered the same fate as his enemy, Basil II, who was dying of the Black Death.

The day before he fell, the Mongol general sent an emissary to Genghis Khan, who was in Central Asia, expressing regret over the incident. Claiming that their army is now powerless. The 600,000 troops of the South Road passed through this disaster, and it was a blessing that one of the ten people survived. Genghis Khan was asked not to count on them anymore and to be able to accomplish the predetermined combat objectives. Although it was a natural disaster, it was his idea to advocate a roundabout attack from the south. He is willing to take responsibility for it. Ask Genghis Khan to punish him. Also, ask Genghis Khan not to send any more men. And don't accept people from the south. So as not to make the main Mongol army also suffer from the plague disaster.

The Mongolian messenger who delivered the letter. At the same time, he is also the henchman of Borshu. He didn't. And refused to meet with Genghis Khan, and did not even enter Genghis Khan's barracks. He rode his horse and shouted on the outskirts of the Mongol camp to attract attention. After attracting attention, he tied Borshu's letter to an arrow and shot it in.

Although he didn't feel like he was suffering from the plague, he drew his knife just in case. Killed himself. And shouting for attention before dying. Do not touch his body, but burn it with flames. After his death, the other Mongols complied with his request.

The life and death of Na Ke'er, who has followed him since childhood, is unknown, and Genghis Khan is very sad. The 600,000-strong army was about to be destroyed. Genghis Khan was even more sad. But Genghis Khan had no choice. His great shaman, Tongtian Wu Kuokuo, told him that this was a heavenly punishment, a test of immortality for the Mongols. and persuaded Genghis Khan to withdraw his troops and return to Mongolia. And many Mongolian nobles who heard about this incident were also afraid. I don't want to fight anymore.

Qualitative and tangible enemies, they are not afraid. But the invisible and untouchable disease can make these brave generals feel fear in their hearts.

What is the use of defeating all the enemies now, and there is a terrible plague in them. There is simply no way to live. We shouldn't have been to that place at all!

It seems that such statements are very loud. Quite a few Mongols, up to the officers. Hundreds of households. Down to the ordinary Mongol soldiers. All of them think that this statement is very reasonable. People's minds change, and soldiers have no fighting spirit. ...,

Of course, it is not known whether there is an artificial push in this. Anyway, after Egil received the news that Genghis Khan's army had begun to move north again, the Norman spies lurking in Genghis Khan's army were active again. In private, all kinds of tandem and all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky. Eventually, this became the case.

So. Although it is some low-status, lowly spies. But as long as you use it well, it will produce very good results. Of course, this credit can only go to the great leader of Egil. And not those spies.

Of course, this kind of thing is good, you don't need to care about it at all, what you need to care about is the morale of the Mongol army, which is constantly decreasing because of these things. Even the most determined, fanatical cowardly Xue Jun and the Proton Army. These two ace troops of the Mongols. In this case, too, there was a waver.

If this continues, the Mongol Empire's attack on the Normans will really end here. A massive plague. It will become the most effective weapon to stop the war between East and West. This situation did not even occur to Egil.

But. In fact, Genghis Khan, or the Mongols, should not have been able to cope with this plague. As mentioned earlier, Egil spent 100,000 bonds to exchange for a solution to the plague, but in the end, the system gave him a prescription. Of course, there is some meaning to brush him. But this remedy is not a good solution to the plague.

Compare with the Normans. The Mongols had an advantage. The whole East. The Central Plains and the Jiangnan region were all under the control of the Mongol Empire. You don't have to risk your life to run over for medicine. As long as the Mongols give an order. The Central Plains would contribute similar recipes for the Black Death, as well as medicinal herbs that the Normans had worked so hard to obtain and could not necessarily obtain.

It can be said that as long as the Mongols know how to make use of the resources they have. Then they don't have to be afraid of the Black Death - at least technically.

But the Mongols will not.

The innate contempt for the agrarian people, as well as the erroneous view, even led the Mongols to put forward the theory of the uselessness of the Han people in the early days of their rule, hoping to convert all the territory of the Central Plains and Jiangnan into pastures for the Mongols to graze. And such a strange statement is still quite marketable among the Mongols. From this you can see how foolish it is to think that the Mongols will make reasonable use of the resources at their disposal.

Therefore, the Mongols could only continue to wear down their morale little by little in their sorrow and fear. Despite being compelled by Genghis Khan's unrivalled prestige, the Mongol army made its way north, reaching the Norman Empire, the outskirts of Moscow's absolute defensive circle, in April. But this is already a limit. The Mongols, not even Genghis Khan, were not sure of attacking this fortified fortress again.

And again, the successive attacks were frustrated, which also deepened the defeatist mentality of the Mongols. The Norman fortresses were once again littered with the corpses of the Mongols, their servants, and their steppe nomadic allies. It's like last year - no, it's worse than last year. At least last year, the morale of the Mongols was still high, and they thought they would be victorious last year. They thought that a country of Norman's level would not be able to stop them. The Mongols will rule the world. This is something that all Mongols are convinced of.

But in the end, the truth woke them up very cruelly.

While the Norman Empire, as well as the whole of Europe, was in turmoil due to the violent plague, the Mongols lost the courage and interest to continue advancing. The vast majority of the Mongol soldiers began to miss their homeland steppes, the river of distress and the holy mountains of Burhan. They don't want it anymore, and they can't get any more benefits. And it seemed that there was no time to be breached in front of the fortress - what? You said the death squads that passed from the North Pole last year? Egil has not heard from them now. So eighty percent of those bastards died in the Arctic Circle, and they became rations for polar bears. Leave them alone. ...,

The morale of the army collapsed and morale was low. Even Genghis Khan was helpless. The years of conquest also consumed a lot of wealth and resources of the Mongol Empire. Unlike other wars, the Mongols could count on plundering to compensate for these losses after their victory. The war against the Normans was still in sight of an end for a while. Therefore, the Mongols are even more sad.

"I don't know what's going on, though. But it looks like I'm going to win. Looking out of the city, the Mongol army, whose morale was declining day by day, Egil said bitterly that the plague had spread throughout Europe. In addition to the British Isles and Scandinavia, the Norman Empire was in a state of apocalypse. In fact, the Norman Empire was in a much more difficult situation than the Mongols. The whole country has entered a state of emergency. All roads are blocked, all cities, villages are isolated. The news could not spread, but rumors sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. However, normal spring ploughing cannot continue, and I am afraid that many people will starve in the autumn......

Normandy's heart was equally unstable. The professional army was fine, but the conscripts, especially those from Eastern Europe, Flanders and North Saxony, were desperate to return to their homeland. Stay with your loved ones in times of disaster like this. Egil is also completely powerless now. If the Mongols held out for a while, Egil would probably no longer be able to suppress the morale of the army, so he could only retreat.

What is this called, well, the city is not high, the pool is not deep, the military revolution is not strong, and the rice is not much.
