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

After that siege fiasco, the Mongol army organized several more attacks in the following period. More servants were sent, or Mongol descendants, as well as their allied steppe troops. But in the end, it turned out to be exactly the same futile.

The Mongols attacked in August, a total of three times. At the last time, another elite Mongolian proton army with the name of the Cowardly Xue Army was also dispatched.

It is different from the cowardly Xue Jun's shining armor dyed bright yellow. The soldiers of the Proton Army wore pitch-black armor blackened with fuel, pitch-black shields, pitch-black graves, and cloaks. Most of the horses were black and handsome. The flags raised high are also soap-colored. Looking down from the top of the city, it was like a gathering of ten thousand crows, which was extremely shocking. But it made Egil think of the idiom that is in full swing. Although now it means to describe things doing very well. But in the beginning, the idiom was literal: as red as a flame and as white as a grass.

Of course, this is not the end, because back then, Wu Wangfu had three big arrays, one with a white flag and white armor, and one with a red flag and red armor. And the last one, which is also the one that the idiom doesn't say, is the black flag, black helmet, and black armor.

As for why it didn't say...... Well, six words that don't rhyme?

Again, the page will say that the idea of being in full swing was that the Dazai Bo Kou of the Wu State at that time was the one who took revenge and killed Wu Zixu. It can be seen that people's talents have little to do with people's moral level. Everyone should pay attention to this.

That's pretty much it, without further ado. Although the Proton Army is dressed in jet-black heavy armor, it is quite imposing. And in terms of equipment, it is also of the same nature as the cowardly Xue Army. The best horses, the best armor, the best weapons, all open for them to use. However, such an army may be invincible in the field. But when it comes to attacking the city, it is still not powerful. After leaving nearly 10,000 corpses, he had to flee back in disgrace.

This struck Egil as odd.

With such a fortress defense system, it is not surprising that it is natural to be victorious. Genghis Khan was a man, he could see this, and Egil was not surprised. The strange thing is that Egil felt that Gengien Khan knew that he couldn't fight hard, and even if he fought hard, it was pointless. The essence of the Mongol Empire was fully revealed, and Gengien Khan himself took command. The loss of millions of bloody rafters, the final reward is between the first and second lines of Norman defense, but thirty miles long, transformed by the Norman engineers, almost nothing is produced in a rotten land?!

Joke!

"So, when things are abnormal, they are demons. This Mongolian barbarian is not an idiot. There must be some kind of hell in my mind!" When the Mongols attacked for the second time, Egil, the suspicious fellow, thought of this. Now that the Mongol army continues to attack the city, I am afraid that it is just a trick to make myself feel that the other party still wants to force it.

in order to attract your own attention. It's good to do it somewhere else.

And the things that Mongolian Wanhu can think of, Egil and others can naturally think of. From Syria to Turkey, from Turkey to Eastern Rome, from Eastern Rome to Hungary, and from Hungary to Eastern Europe...... It's a long way to go. But the problem is that Egil thought about it a little and came to the conclusion: it seems that it is indeed much better to take this passage and attack from the side than to meet and break the blood here under the walls of Moscow. ...,

But it's not impossible. You must know that although the Norman Army is not unparalleled in the world, the Navy is absolutely invincible in the world. A few Norman naval fleets alone can be compared to the total number of warships of ordinary sea power countries, and even surpass. Today, there is a treaty between the Norman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. The Strait of Nadardanelles was accessible to Norman ships. At that time, all of Anatolia fell. All Egil needs to do is send the Black Sea Fleet to seal off the Dardanelles. Then the Mongols have to do nothing about him!

Thinking of this, the corners of Egil's mouth turned up and a smile appeared. Then he went back to his barracks and asked the confidential secretary Maria (the little nun's powerful version) to prepare pen and ink paper, which he dictated, and Maria began to write a letter to the Eastern Roman Emperor Basil II. This time, Egil was ready to give him a little favor.

"Honorable, His Majesty Emperor Basil II, who reigns over the Romans. I haven't seen the two of us for a long time, I don't know how good my health has been in recent days, I should be a condolence, now that the weather is in autumn, it is getting cooler, and I should pay attention to my body.

I have recently heard that your country's offensive in Syria in the Near East is not going well. It would be foolish for the remnants of the pagan religion to resist the Roman army of divine justice. I am quite despised, and believe that with the best soldiers of your country, you will surely win the ultimate victory over the infidels. Surpassing Justinian the Great's feats for his achievements. ”

Egil had known Basil II for many years, and naturally knew that this stubborn old fellow was a man who was arrogant and refused to admit defeat. And since he ascended the throne for decades, he has always regarded himself as the first power in Europe, and in the first half of his life, he did do a lot of "merits". Expanded the territory of Eastern Rome to the maximum.

But that's no longer the case. The Eastern Roman Empire was no longer in good shape, but the Norman Empire was growing more and more prosperous. Basil II naturally had a lot of dissatisfaction with Egil. According to Egil's knowledge of Basil II's character. If you come up directly and say that you want to give him benefits to help him. I can't say that this guy not only doesn't appreciate it, but feels insulted. So he didn't say his purpose first, but praised Basil II. Put a high hat on him first. Make him comfortable. After that, slowly lead to the main thing.

Egil thought so, said this, and then Maria took what Egil had said, using her handwriting, which was similar to Egil's, to forge the appearance of Egil's own handwriting. to increase the weight of the letter.

"However, the Roman legions were the best soldiers in the world, and the empire also had many famous generals. However, Syria is located on the border, with constant wars and difficult supplies. I thought to myself that this might be the reason why the Roman Empire was desperate to win. ”

Of course, this is not the case. The army of the Eastern Romans was beaten to pieces by the Mongols in Syria. One of the "famous generals" of Eastern Rome, Aetius was also dismissed from his post and went home to eat old rice. But Egil, of course, could not say that, for the same reason.

"Originally, I could have taken this matter lightly. But I could not bear to suffer too many casualties among the warriors loyal to God.

And the land of Syria, which was originally under my control, has gone wrong, and I am ashamed to do something for the Roman soldiers.

From this day on, the Norman merchant ships that traveled along the Mediterranean coast were given free of charge to the Roman Empire as part of the Mediterranean coast for the purpose of transporting supplies. The Norman Mediterranean Fleet will also help Rome transport supplies according to the route when patrolling. If you are willing to hire the ordinary merchants of the empire, I promise to save you thirty percent of the commission. When buying supplies, I may promise to cut the price of your country by 30%. ...,

Of course, if Your Majesty thinks that my actions are inappropriate, then I can only express regret. Don't dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction and disrespect. All the right to choose is in the hands of His Majesty

One by one your faithful friend, Egilska de la Grímsson"

Egil's letter can be described as lowering his posture. Maria wrote the letter, and Egir read it again, and sent it to the Norman intelligence service, asking them to send the letter in handwriting, not with carrier pigeons. Some of the Soxin intelligence services are couriers who ride light horses and are skilled in riding. As long as they made their way south to the Crimean peninsula, they took a boat to Constantinople. Then it won't delay much. It will definitely be delivered within this year.

"If Basil II was not a fool, then he would definitely accept such conditions. When the time comes, with enough supplies, this king who is very happy will definitely recruit more troops to go to Syria to fight the Mongols. And if my guess is correct, and Temujin really sent an army to plot another line of attack, then there will be a good show to watch, "... And in doing so, it can further weaken the power of Eastern Rome, killing two birds with one stone",...... Hehe, hehehahaha......haha

However, the Mongol Empire changed its strategy, so sooner or later it was necessary for the Roman Empire to fight the Mongols. But Egil knew that Syria was definitely not a suitable battlefield for Eastern Rome, and what they should do was to abandon all the lands of Asia Minor, as has happened countless times in history, and hold on to the Dardanelles Strait and Constantinople with the natural dangers of Constantinople, and wait for the attacking side to exhaust its strength. Then a counteroffensive.

However, the wrong intelligence, Egil's constant inducements, and Basil II's fatal psychological weakness embarrassed the Eastern Roman Empire to fight against the wrong army at the wrong time, in the wrong place. Perhaps, this battle can play a very good role in the plan to dismantle the Eastern Roman Empire......

At the thought that with a little trick he could make the Eastern Romans sell his life to the Mongols, fight the Mongols to the death, and make a shield for himself, Egil couldn't help but laugh proudly, and while laughing, he picked up Maria, who was looking at him next to him and was puzzled, and let her feet off the ground and turn in a circle. Then he hugged and kissed him on the face.

"Lord, master?" saw Egil's inexplicably happy. Maria looked strange, but she still cooperated and hugged Egil. I don't know why, but the owner is happy, which in itself is something to be happy about. So Maria smiled too, and then naturally was carried to the bed by Egil and did what she loved to do"... )
