Chapter 14: The Absurd Siege Battle

Although Pugachev has been very careful and sent many, many spies into Kherson to investigate. However, the spies were either míhuò by the Norman spies' disinformation or bought by the Norman spies. Or simply chopped up with a knife, and then Norman spies had their faces torn off and made into adult skin masks. I'll go back afterwards.

It's like the head of the Cossack spies who just reported the situation to Pugachev. In fact, the real one had long since been knocked down by the Norman spy. The bones and meat were fed to the wild dogs. At this moment, it was an imposter disguised as a high-ranking Norman spy who went out to set up a mission. And the task he assigned directly selected a group of people who were the same as himself, all dressed as Norman spies. Directly to Kherson passed the news of the upcoming siege of the Cossacks......

That's it. Pugachev, who thought he was acting very carefully and was unaware.

In fact, it has long been swayed by Norman spies. Step by step, I walked towards the cliff without realizing it. And inside the city of Kherson. Seventy-five thousand allied troops from the Six Kingdoms, plus the second and third cavalry regiments that were secretly dispatched. This adds up to 85,000 men and horses, rounded up to 100,000. Almost all of them were elite regular troops. Extremely combative. Although it is said that the armies of other countries have not been informed of the news. But the spies under the command of Egil began to spread rumors about the Cossacks early on.

Therefore, officers at all levels preferred to believe what they had rather than what they did not, and Egil also took the opportunity to issue an order for martial law. It is also inappropriate to say that Kherson is unprepared.

And against the Cossacks, what exactly were those Cossacks?

Although, Pugachev has already made up his mind. It's going to be a fight to the death with the Norman Empire. However, not all of his Cossacks thought so. Except for a handful of tribes with abnormal brains who followed him. Most of the tribes, he didn't even dare to contact them. Fear that the news will leak out. And after Pugachev told the story in his tribe, it also caused violent protests. Under the protection of the Norman Empire, during this period of time, the life of the Zabō Rozhye Khanate was good. And, as Pugachev thought before. Other Cossacks also had varying degrees of fear of the Norman Empire.

Although Pugachev has repeatedly assured that there will be no problems with the attack. The Norman army has long since left, and we are only attacking an empty city and a transit point for the other side's supplies. Some are good things. After grabbing this ticket, you can eat and drink without worry......

However, there were still quite a few Cossacks who were very hesitant. The old man of the clan said, "Great Khan, even so. Even if we could take that city without much effort. And the wealth in the city is ten times more than the Great Khan you say. But do we really have the life to enjoy it? The Norman Empire was so powerful, and the Norman Emperor was both excellent and stingy. He would never allow such a betrayal from us. Your actions will bring disaster to all the Cossacks!"

Pugachev was red-faced when he said this. I also know in my heart that what I said does make sense. But if he had to do that, or maybe not then, the Cossacks would have been fine. But he, the Great Khan, died eighty percent without a place to be buried.

But this could not be said, and after saying it, the Cossacks must have thought: Oh, I see, you are the only one who was not satisfied with the Norman emperor. You're dead, we're all okay'

However, you don't want to die alone, you have to pull us to fight hard, and drag us to die together.

How can this be done? There will definitely be a riot, Pugachev will be tied up, and he will be sent to the emperor: "Old man immortal! Relying on himself to live for two more years, talking nonsense!" Pugachev became angry, drew his scimitar, and without saying a word, cut off the old man's head.

"Whoever doesn't obey Ben Khan's orders again will do," Pugachev shouted hysterically, pointing to the corpse of the old man.

Pugachev's actions did indeed shock many people. But it also caused more discontent among the Cossacks. That night, the disgruntled Cossacks staged a riot in the hope of overthrowing Pugachev. In the end, though, this revolt was broken by Pugachev, who had been expected for a long time. However, his rule over his own tribe became increasingly unstable. Quite a few Cossacks took the opportunity to flee. Either they were incorporated into other tribes, or they could create new tribes by pulling their own flags. ...,

Before Pugachev really attacked the Norman Empire. A small part of his men were scattered.

In the end, he was followed by only 5,000 cavalry. And the morale of the army is weak. I can't tell when it will be gone......

That's the way it is now. The coalition army totaled 85,000 troops, calculated or unintentional, and arranged a trap that had been prepared in advance against the 5,000 Cossack cavalry under Pugachev's army. In such a situation, no one could have looked favorably on the Cossacks. Unless at this moment, a volcanic tsunami and an earthquake erupt and sink the whole of Kherson directly. Otherwise, Pugachev has no chance.

In fact, Pugachev himself began to regret it a little.

"Otherwise, or just tell the Normans that I have come with an army, and I have come to join the crusade without a dime?" In the early morning mist, Pugachev watched the towering and fortified walls gradually appear on the horizon. The heart began to beat the drums. Secretly blaming myself for not being so hasty. That dead fat messenger really hurts people. And then he thought about it like this.

However, all these delusions soon came to an end. By the time he entered the city gate, Pugachev was already holding his breath and was in a calm mood.

"For the glory and freedom of the Cossacks, Warriors, charge, and we will plunder the treasures of the Emperor!!," Pugachev cried out, drawing his scimitar. At the same time, the Cossacks behind him shouted like this. Rushing towards the city gate, the Norman spies, who had been ready all morning, immediately opened the city gates, and let Pugachev, who was in the lead, and his Cossacks rush into the urn city.

Pugachev saw that there was still a ring of walls around him, but the other gate directly opposite was tightly closed, and secretly shouted: "Oh no, there is an ambush!"

Immediately afterwards, I heard a "choking" sound behind him, and above the originally open city gate, a thousand catties of cooked copper poured fell down. Directly smashed the three Cossack cavalry below and their war horses, and there was neither the purple-faced king nor Confucius and his father among the Cossacks.

I had to watch the jack gate fall to the ground, and the last bit of hope for survival was gone.

"The vassals didn't come to attack, the vassals came to see the emperor!" After a while, Pugachev's tears fell. He looked up at the walls and shouted. However, no one paid any attention to him. In other words, the Normans responded in a completely different way than Pugachev had imagined: the boiling heavenly fireworks, the constantly exploding iron artillery, and the bows and arrows and crossbows fell from their heads. After that, Pugachev didn't even snort. And so he died. The corpse was first shot like a hedgehog and then blown apart. Finally roasted by the fire... Under the walls of the urn city, there was a burst of burnt aroma of roasted meat, "Your Majesty...... This, this is what you call fun?" "On the city wall, next to Egil, the princes who were told by Egil to come to see rare objects were stunned one by one Cossack rebellion, and the Norman spies got the news in advance, and set up an ambush. They could understand it, but the sound of the explosion, and the violently burning oil, were all the more noticeable. So the king of Burgundy, who was closest to the Norman emperor, asked.

"Heavenly Flame Oil. and the Heaven's Wrath Cannon.

Ladies and gentlemen, this time the Crusades. I'm not unprepared. Egil smiled slightly smugly.

"That'...... These two weapons...... Is it possible, can it be transferred?" Charlie then asked eagerly.

"Of course, some finished weapons will be sold to countries friendly to the Empire. Egil nodded, but the concept was directly defined as a "finished weapon" rather than a method of making a weapon, although this kind of thing would definitely not be hidden in the end. Even if the Norman Empire doesn't talk about it, when the ancient Crusades of Méng are coming, the rest of the European continent will be able to see it. But a day earlier is a day. It's like a patent right in later generations, so it's been 20 years.

Hearing what Egil said, the monarchs of the other countries were slightly disappointed. But when you think about it, it's normal. The important weapon of the country should not be despised with others. Egilken is already good at selling finished weapons. So one by one they all began to calculate. How to get in touch with the Norman Empire in the shortest possible time. None of the monarchs are stupid. After all, there have been Greek fires in Eastern Rome and Nafa fires in Islam.

Not a first. However, the power of the iron cannon was unheard of. The old monarchs knew its value.

"Oh, yes, guys. Please bear witness to me. These Cossacks sabotaged the crusader jihad. It is also a collusion with Arab heresy. Sins are unforgivable. I want to make sure that the back road is safe. The Cossacks are to be cleaned up. But they are afraid that the world will not know, and they chew the root of their tongues, saying that I am the kind of tyrant who kills indiscriminately. You have to prove it to me. ”

The monarchs were just thinking about making friends with the Norman Emperor. Hearing him say this for a while, he naturally agreed without a mouth. Said he was willing to testify on behalf of Egil. Those Cossacks are looking for their own death, regardless of the affairs of a benevolent monarch like Egil!
