"But...... But—"General Joseph, though he also knew, the most correct tactic now would have been to do so." Throw away the insignificant, motley forts. At the same time, he endured the pain of sacrificing two hussars of a thousand men. In this way, little by little, the enemy fights and consumes. After all, they are the defenders, and now it seems that the ability of these nomads to attack the fortifications is indeed very poor. At this moment, tens of thousands of troops have been lost. Combined with the slave troops who had died in battle, the Mongols lost 50,000 troops.

And what did they get? Three unstrategic, civil forts that were about to be blown up into the sky.

The bargain couldn't have been more cost-effective—except for the two thousand hussars. Speaking of which, General Joseph originally thought that these Mongols would be crushed by the onslaught of their own iron-blooded and tenacious hussars, just like ordinary nomads. Then there was the one-sided slaughter. But things were obvious, not what he had imagined.

These people are tougher than the average nomad, stronger and warlike. The difference is that they are more disciplined. Although it is worse than the professional troops like the Hussars of the Norman Empire, his discipline has surpassed the vast majority of the armies of most empires in the world now.

It can be said that this is a miracle in military history. Only a military genius like Genghis Khan could do it. These nomadic cavalry, who are loose by nature, are truly organized into a disciplined army. It's not the same as a scumbag like Egil who cheats through the system.

"So...... That's all there is to it. "At this moment, after half a day of shooting, the Norman artillery has also overheated, and it will explode if it continues to fight. Therefore, the Norman artillery, which had feared the Mongols the most, stopped roaring. Other large weapons, such as catapults and crossbows, have also worn out a lot due to continuous firing. The bowstrings of two of the city's defense crossbows also broke at once, injuring the arms of several engineers. All of this equipment needs to be overhauled and some accessories replaced before they can continue to be used. And continuous shooting. It also caused serious wear and tear on the bowstring of the archers, and many parts of the pulley crossbow also needed to be replaced......

In this way, the Norman Empire's long-range support was reduced by more than half at that time. Then the offensive of the Mongol army was even more arrogant. The dismounted Mongol heavy cavalry, which stood strongly, was also much stronger in terms of tactics than the ordinary Mongol soldiers. They are in groups of dozens and form a dense array to charge in clusters. And continuously. After the charge failed, they went around to the flanks and retreated, while the soldiers behind rushed forward. It was repeated ten times, dozens of times, in a row. Let the Norman defenses crumble. It seems like it's going to collapse soon.

Gradual. As the Mongol soldiers attacked like a raging storm, the morale of the Norman soldiers became more and more demoralized. Some tactics, if used by ordinary Mongol soldiers. Then it's not very useful. But if those Mongol heavy cavalry were to use it, it would be a bit of a problem.

For example, ordinary Mongol soldiers rushed forward in order to break through the line set up by the Norman shield-spearmen. The end result is basically a dozen transparent holes pierced.

However, if this tactic had been applied to the Mongol heavy cavalry, the situation would have been very different. Dressed in two layers of heavy scale armor, these heavily armored soldiers were able to resist attacks to a great extent. Whether it was a bayonet cut in a wooden warehouse, it didn't have much effect. The battle axes in the hands of the Norman infantry were useful, but the number of Norman infantry. It's only a tenth of the Mongol heavy cavalry, or even less than a tenth. ...,

And if you spread them apart, I'm afraid the effect will be even worse. Therefore, the remaining dozens of Norman infantry are basically concentrated to form an emergency force, and they will go to the aid wherever there is a crisis.

In this way, the Mongol heavy cavalry continued to charge like madmen. He was able to break through the Normans' array of defenses while ensuring his own survival. The shield spearmen, who had lost their formation, fought with the hoplites armed with scimitars and maces, and the final result was self-evident. That's it, the Norman infantry had more and more emergency situations. It's also getting more and more overwhelming. There are also fewer and fewer of them......

Finally, in the midst of an exclamation. Of the three southern forts, the middle one finally couldn't hold it anymore. The Norman defenses were eventually completely torn apart. A large number of Mongols shouted frantically. Rushed towards the shattered Norman array. The remnants of the defeated Norman army were divided and surrounded. And then slaughtered and slaughtered......

"It's now!" Seeing that his own army had been completely suppressed. The battle loss ratio has been as high as 20 to 1. One of the spies who had been lurking in the Norman militia gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. When no one noticed, he turned and slipped away, ran to an open space next to the barracks, and opened the cover of the floating earth, and then opened the secret door. Jumped into the shoddy underground chamber underground. Pulled out the flint and steel. After that, he poked his head out like a marmot, and watched his soldiers fall down one by one, until finally he collapsed when there were only about 200 people left......

"It's time. The spy sighed secretly, retracted, ran to the pile of ** buckets, rubbed the flint, and lit the fuse.

"Long live His Majesty Egil Skadergrímsson of the Norman Empire!!"

With the shouting of this Norman spy, the fuse "silk" and "silk" continued to burn forward, and finally arrived at the fire medicine keg, which was a deafening loud bang for a lifetime after the war! The sound of "boom !!" was as if the sky had fallen!

After this explosion, the other two attacked fortresses around it, and even the other wooden forts in the distance, and the two large fortresses - those Norman soldiers, those Mongols, whether they were friends or enemies, were completely stupid!

The relatively strong fortress built by the original native wooden structure, after detonating hundreds of catties of fire medicine underground, has collapsed and collapsed as if it were made of pieces of paper. The mound that the Mongols had built for their attack was also flattened again in the explosion. The Mongol soldiers in front of the attack, as well as the remaining 200 or so Norman soldiers. They were all killed in this explosion. If you're lucky, if you're far away, you can still leave a Hulun corpse or something. Bad luck, too close to the explosion site, was directly blown to pieces!

Seeing that the Norman army was so resolute, they detonated the city ** when the city was about to be lost, and died with their own side. No matter how crazy the Mongols were, they hesitated. The Norman soldiers were even more frightened—they didn't know anything was going on beforehand. When did he bury people under this city?!Is he the only one buried in the city, or are all the other fortresses buried?! Died under this thing, and there was not even a corpse left. How is this good?!I can only fight hard.

With that, the Mongol army began to hesitate to retreat in fear of death. And the Normans were also in fear of death and had to fight desperately. As a result of this situation, the situation on the front line has once again reached a stalemate.

On the other side, on the front of the battlefield, the Norman hussars had been divided and surrounded by the Mongol heavy cavalry. Although they still struggled to resist. But it seems that the defeat is decided, and there is no way back. ...,

Originally, to the same extent as the combat effectiveness, it was somewhat unreliable to use light cavalry against heavy cavalry.

The advantage of the frontal battlefield makes the complexion of the speed butai look a little better. Looking at the other side, after the explosion of that fortress, the Mongol soldiers hesitated to attack again. Look at the sky, the sun is about to set. Whether they were tired or hungry, they were frightened by the explosion of the fire powder just now. In short, the war of this day is considered nullified. Completely failed to achieve his strategic goals. If you want to say it, it can only be said that it has reached one-twentieth.

"Retreat. "Waited a few more moments. Seeing that there is still no turning point on the battlefield. The Mongol infantry still did not dare to continue to attack the city, and the Mongol cavalry could not completely annihilate this group of Norman cavalry for a while. Subutai had no choice but to sigh secretly, waved his hand, gritted his teeth unconvinced, and said this word.

Immediately afterward, the guards around him raised their horns and blew their horns. After a long trumpet. The Mongols, who were fighting, breathed a sigh of relief and began to retreat. The heavy cavalry gave up the hussars who were fighting with them. They had the upper hand. So it was easy to ask the Normans to entangle. And those Mongols who are besieging the city, it is not so simple. If you run in front, you can still find a horse. Those who are left behind can only run on two legs.

At this moment, the long-range projection power of the Norman Empire recovered quite a bit. A burst of crossbow shots killed many Mongols.

The Norman soldiers watched the Mongols retreat, and then looked at the sky, and most of them understood. Although some officers proposed to attack and pursue. But several generals shook their heads and rejected the proposals. At the same time, the remaining less than a thousand hussars were ordered to return. The several camps that were attacked also needed to be reorganized. After dark, through the secret door, the soldiers who had been fighting for a day were transferred to the fortress barracks to rest, and the fresh troops in the fortress barracks were replaced in.

There are more important things to do in the engineering corps, the baggage soldiers, and the local conscripts (unpaid). They were going to carry out the fortifications with torches, and they were going to take advantage of the darkness to repair the fortifications and level the dirt slopes. Dig up some shoddy traps or something...... (To be continued......
