Chapter Seventy-Six: The Fall of Mengyuan
When the army of the Norman Empire blocked the return of the Mongol deserters. Kublai Khan knew that he had not only lost the battle. And it was a complete loss. Of course, he still wants to make one last bit of effort. There is a saying in the East, called poor Kou Mo chasing, and there is also a saying, called the dog jumping off the wall. Kublai Khan had heard the previous sentence, and although he had not heard the latter, he would definitely understand it even now.
He, as well as the Mongolian and Central Asian cavalry units under his command, are the thieves at the end of the road, and the dogs who are in a hurry. If you can completely stir up the mourning spirit of the Mongol army. That's not to say that you can beat the Normans. But breaking through the opponent's military formation, he, and part of the Mongol army, broke through. It's still quite possible.
However, as soon as Kublai Khan came up with this idea, he just drew his scimitar and shouted: "Great Mongolia-" Emperor Egil took the first step, pulled out the ivory handcuff on his waist, which had not been used for a long time, and fired three shots into the sky in a row!
This is a weapon that the Norman Emperor exchanged for by relying on the authority of the system, and it can be compared to the demon knife in his hand and the treasure armor on his body. Able to penetrate any armor, armor, and with the "must hit" surname, the bullet can automatically search for enemies, and explode inside the enemy, a fantasy gun that kills. There is no need to replenish ammunition, and there is no need to think about wear and tear and repairs. Beautifully carved and inlaid with precious diamonds. Priceless!
With the Norman emperor firing three shots, the artillery units in the vanguard of the Norman army got the signal. In the past three days, the four hundred and eighty artillery pieces that the empire had brought here opened fire at once. The roar of artillery drowned out Kublai Khan's voice in an instant.
The Norman engineers had long been ordered, and the first three rounds of artillery were exhausted, and at the fastest speed, it could be said that a projectile could be fired in thirty seconds. The 480 guns were divided into three teams, each team of 160 guns, and 10 seconds was a round! A total of three salvos were fired, and thousands of shells were fired, and the Mongols could not find the north.
Egil was overwhelmed, and watched as the Mongol army panicked and demoralized under the power of artillery. Then he immediately ordered: "Charge." "It's different from the Normans' traditional counter-attacking tactics. The Norman Emperor made a rare charge. It's a cluster charge of 100,000 strikers!
A total of 15,000 hussars, 3,000 Norman knights, royal knights, nearly 5,000 centaur warriors, 30,000 conscripted heavy cavalry, and 60,000 Eastern European horseback militias, nomadic cavalry launched a cluster charge! Act as an arrow as a vanguard. What you want is to crush the Mongol army at the first time!
This round of charging is likely to be the largest cavalry cluster charge after the founding of the Norman Empire. It is also very likely that it will be the last time - after the fall of the Mengyuan Dynasty, what other empire in the world deserves such treatment? He is no longer delusional and can save his life in such a situation. In fact, before that, when he took the initiative to launch an attack on the Norman Empire, he was already dead.
"I'm a damn man. At this moment, Kublai Khan gave up the title of the Central Plains and the self-title of emperor in Chinese. A return to the essence of the Mongols. He now fights as a Mongol, as the Great Khan of the Mongols, as the contemporary master of the Sons and Sons family. And not the emperor of the Han Chinese.
This glorious eagle on the steppe is about to rush to the enemy line to seek death! He shouted "Immortal Heaven!" waved the scimitar in his hand, and rushed towards the array of the Norman Empire, the array of guns like iron and arrows like rain!
"Great Khan!" At this moment, the Mongolian soldiers around Kublai Khan seemed to understand Kublai Khan's thoughts for a while. They also gave up the title of "emperor" and called this man of the family by the Great Khan!
"Charge, charge, charge!!" The Mongols, driven by Kublai Khan, really poured out many enthusiastic soldiers. They followed Kublai Khan, or acted back and forth. A counter-charge was launched against the cavalry units of the Normans!
However, there are too few after all. At this time, there were too few Mongols who dared to summon up the courage to charge with Kublai Khan. They were frightened enough by the Norman emperor before, and then they were frightened by the Norman artillery array, just now, after eating a burst of cannonballs, and seeing the cluster charge of the Norman 100,000 cavalry, not to mention the gall, the heart, liver, kidneys, and spleen, almost all of them were frightened. At this moment, there are very few who can muster up the courage to fight with the Normans, and it is less than 10,000!
However, although the vast majority of the Mongols were too frightened to fight the Normans again. But it can't stand up to Kublai Khan's special skills. The Khan's eagle tricks were displayed, and the morale of the entire Mongol army rose to the top. Only then did the Mongol army come up with a decent formation and be able to confront the Normans!
Seeing that the Mongols who were scared to death just now turned into tigers for a while. Egil laughed and said, "Interesting." Then he was about to ride forward—but just then, he felt someone behind him grab his shoulder. When I looked back, it was Sonia.
"The hosts. Your status is honorable, and the Mongols are bound to be defeated. I don't think there's any need for you to go up and fight again. Sonia said to Egil. Although the presence of figures such as Egil may have given the Normans a greater advantage. However, Sonya, as a guard, made Egil's safety her first priority. Therefore dissuaded him.
"It doesn't need to be like that. Egil shook his head, "After this, no country can pose a sufficient threat to my empire. Even if there were, I'm afraid it would be a hundred years before I did. Looking around, I will never see another opponent. This battle is probably the last battle I personally commanded. So, this last battle. Let me devote myself to it and leave no regrets. Is that good?"
That being said, although it is also said that with Egil's ability, the probability of his death is extremely low. Yet Sonia still looked at him firmly. There was no intention of compromising with him at all.
Egil was a little uncomfortable, so he continued to persuade: "Besides, after this battle, Sonia will enter the battlefield, I'm afraid it won't work. Don't you want to make this curtain call even more perfect at the end?"
“...... Don't want to. Sonia shook her head: "I just want the master to be safe and happy......" Speaking of this, Sonia also lowered her head, and then said: "Okay, then together, I will do my best to protect the master-" Speaking of this, Sonia sighed imperceptibly.
It's just that the Norman emperor didn't notice all this. The usually unusually sensitive intuition did not work for a while. It was only because the emperor was attracted by something even more magnificent and exciting—war, a war, and so to speak, the curtain call of the Norman Emperor. It can be said that it is the final decisive battle between the strongest forces of the East and the West! Such a thing is as dazzling as the sun. Who cares about Sonya's little thoughts, like stars?
Egir laughed and rushed into battle, using Hades' screaming skill, which made the Mongols lose much of their hard-earned courage. And where this emperor appeared, the Mongols almost always collapsed at the touch of a button, not only because of the brutality of the Norman emperor, but also because he had recently acquired a new caste: feared by the Mongols. When playing against the Mongols, the enemy's morale is automatically reduced by two levels. When on the same faction as the Mongols, the popularity of the Mongols in the same faction is automatically reduced by one level.
As a result, after the Norman Emperor came to the field, the Mongol army, which could have been able to support for a while longer, suddenly burst like the Yellow River bursting, and it was out of control. The morale that was blown up by Kublai Khan's skills was like a balloon that had been punctured. In an instant, it was gone.
Defeat, defeat for Mongolia. A few hours later, after the Norman Emperor once again unleashed the scream of Hades, more than 200,000 Mongol cavalry and Central Asian nomadic cavalry were all panicked. Fleeing in embarrassment. In the end, he was defeated by the Norman army.
"Kublai Khan!!" Egil looked at the man in front of him wearing a yellow robe and straddled the carved bow, and recognized him as Kublai Khan. As soon as I thought about it, I was extremely excited. Then thinking about him, he rushed over, intending to kill this Emperor Mengyuan and fulfill his immortal martial arts!
However, at this moment, another person came out of the oblique down. If the emperor is dealing with this war with 100% effort, then she is overdrawing her life and killing frantically with 1,000% effort. The white armor, the white sword, and the bare blonde hair, the white skin was all stained red with blood, which dried up into blood clots, and then another layer, layer upon layer, like a demon in hell—almost unrecognizable to Egil.
"Joan of Arc?!" Seeing the incomparably familiar and incomparably strange woman in front of him, Egil couldn't help but shout. At the same time, he subconsciously stopped the war horse. However, he stopped, and Joan of Arc continued on. The terrifying momentum made Kublai Khan, who was determined to die, feel extremely frightened, and subconsciously wanted to retreat.
"Protect the Great Khan!" roared the Mongol soldiers around him, wielding their scimitars to force Joan of Arc back. However, although this saint is not in a good mental state, her skills are first-class. The long sword in his hand slashed again and again, and all those Mongolian soldiers were killed. Kublai Khan had no way to retreat, so he also mustered up his courage and rushed forward, wanting to die with her, but she cut off his right hand with one move, and then cut off his head!
"Wheel", "Wheel"...... Kublai Khan's head rolled twice on the ground, his face full of disbelief, and the headless corpse fell from the horse's back with a "bang". He who dies cannot die anymore.
"The Great Khan is dead!" saw Kublai Khan's head in a different place. The last bit of resistance of the Mongols is gone. Crying loudly, some committed suicide, but many more turned around and ran, before being rushed forward and killed by Norman generals.
Egil sighed slightly, put the knife back into its sheath, and then stepped forward and said to Joan of Arc, who was trembling all over, "You...... What's the problem?"
Joan of Arc turned her head and smiled reluctantly at Egil, then said, "I said, if I kill one more, you will kill one less." The sin will be lessened by a ......" Speaking of this, Joan of Arc only felt weak, and subconsciously leaned towards Egil, as if she wanted to lean on Egil's shoulder, but finally stopped moving. It seems that he is concerned about the blood stain on his body. I feel a little ashamed of myself.
However, Egil took the lead and hugged her tightly: "I promise you that something like this today will not happen again...... At this point, Egil paused for a moment, and then continued: "The war is over. ”
That's right, the war is over. The battle against the Han army ended even earlier than this side. After a short fight, some of the Normans who knew Chinese loudly persuaded them to surrender, telling them that their Mongol masters had long since abandoned them and fled for their lives. Under such circumstances, the vast majority of the Han soldiers, who were already demoralized, surrendered. Twenty years of hard labor awaited them, and a life of freemen after that. Middle-earth is never going back...... In this way, the dust settled on the war between the Mongol Yuan Empire and the Norman Empire. The 500,000-strong army of the Mongol Yuan was almost completely annihilated. Kublai Khan, the Emperor of Mengyuan, was killed. The vast majority of the Mengyuan generals also died in the rebellion. Its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden. Without these armies, the foundation of Meng Yuan's rule in the East would be completely gone...... It is foreseeable that the Far East will usher in a new round of storms.
The Norman Empire, on the other hand, suffered far fewer casualties than its enemies. The final count of casualties will not exceed 30,000.
The victory of this war completely established the status of the Norman Empire as the world's first power, and also completely eliminated the last enemy around the Norman Empire. The empire is now bounded by ice fields to the north, the Sahara Desert to the south, Persia as an ally to the east, and unexplored Siberia to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. There are no more hostile states. As Egil said, the war was over.
Egil is Chinese New Year's Eve. It is the prime of life, and it is conservatively estimated that he will live for at least fifty years. And his heir has also been found. As long as nothing else, the Norman Empire will be prosperous for a hundred years. The greatest empire in the world, regardless of politics, economy, culture, religion, humanities...... The most splendid country in the capital, belonging to the Norman era, has finally come!
