The crossbowman, angry. At that time, Egil named the Norman Empire's newest repeating crossbow Egir's Wrath because of this old saying. Crossbows are easier to handle, easier to aim, and more powerful than bows. The original disadvantage of slow firing speed was also offset by the Norman Empire's cutting-edge repeating crossbows. Even if you use an older type of pulley crossbow, because this crossbow uses mechanical force, it can be pulled away with less effort, so after a period of accumulation, the archer will have a sore arm due to the continuous opening of the bow, and he will not be able to use it. The crossbowman, on the other hand, can continue to shoot.

And with the development of technology, and the opponents encountered by the Norman Empire became more and more well-equipped. It's like the Mongol elite who will now be hostile to the Normans. The longbow simply couldn't pierce their double scale armor. Unless you're very lucky, you can concentrate their necks and heads, which don't protect much, to be able to effectively kill your enemies. Otherwise, it will only be a "snap", and it will be bounced away by the opponent's heavy armor.

However, crossbows are different. The crossbow bolt is extremely powerful in flat fire, which can easily pierce through two or even three layers of heavy scale armor, effectively killing and injuring elite Mongolian soldiers. Even a less powerful burst crossbow can kill heavily armored enemies within effective range.

In fact, if it weren't for the high cost of repeating crossbows, Egil would have liked his army to be equipped with more of these sophisticated weapons. However, each repeating crossbow includes two sets of replacement parts, maintenance kits, and special bolts. Such a set of equipment costs one hundred and fifty Normankin. Such a high price was too much for even a country as large as the Norman Empire to afford. Therefore, before the Norman Empire fought with the Mongols, the Norman army had only 40,000 new army forces equipped with 2,000 repeating crossbows.

The two thousand soldiers, known as the Emperor's Wrath Crossbowmen, were also divided into four groups, each of five hundred men divided equally among the four New Army legions. And it didn't go it alone. Every Emperor's Wrath crossbowman was treated like a treasure by Egil, and was rigorously trained and tested. It can be said that their fighting qualities and the price of training them were no worse than a Norman knight.

Speaking of which, this is the sorrow of the agrarian people who have accumulated a little bit of family wealth, but the family business of the emperor cannot spend money as lavishly as Temujin, but must be budget-conscious, and sometimes even have to issue seigniorage, and even cause inflation......

However, this is only a temporary difficulty for this period of time. In addition, after a long and fierce battle with the Mongols, Egil also accumulated a lot of bonds. In order to fight the Mongols, he spent a huge amount of bonds, exchanging them for 2,000 Emperor's Wrath Crossbowmen at an average price (due to inflation) of 200 bonds. In total, more than 400,000 bonds were spent. This is currently the only independent army of repeating crossbow troops. It was placed directly under the emperor.

Although more than 400,000 bonds were spent at once, Egil felt very heartbroken. But upon seeing the crossbowmen, Egil felt that the money was well spent.

The Mongols, as always, with their powerful cavalry troops, became the attacking side -- a black torrent of 30,000 proton troops, with their terrifying momentum of devouring the heavens and the earth, just entered the battlefield and launched a fierce charge towards the Normans! These black cavalry with black flags, black clothes and black armor were like hellish ghosts, terrifying!

However, in the face of such a charge, Egil was smiling and unhurried. The right hand was raised slightly, and the graceful and luxurious sentence said: "Shoot." "The pitch is eighty decibels. It seems that the emperor, having defeated Genghis Khan once, was some—no, not somewhat, but completely carried away, feeling invincible in the world. ...,

Hawkers, although he can't say that he thinks so, it's completely wrong, but at least be reserved, don't be so shameless, okay?

In this way, under the order of the shameless mad emperor, the Norman trumpet suddenly sounded. The simplest order was given, crossbowman, shoot!

This distance is within the range of the pulley crossbow. A total of 5,000 crossbowmen were divided into four groups, each group of 1,200 men, and arranged two groups on the front of the battlefield, and one on each side of the U-shaped array on both sides of the battlefield. These crossbowmen were in a row of 400 men in three formations. Shoot in a three-stage manner to block the Mongol cavalry. The U-shaped moon formation caused the Mongolian Proton Army Iron Cavalry to suffer continuous fire from three sides. Sharp crossbow bolts are enough to pierce the strongest heavy armor. Within range, each of the Norman's crossbowmen fired at least four rounds. A total of 20,000 crossbow arrows slaughtered the Proton Army vanguard!

"Charge! Charge!!Rush over, those Norman crossbowmen don't have to worry!!" Mongolian thousand households, hundreds of households roared like this, rushing forward, the elite of the proton army like a wounded and angry beast, undiminished, continue to charge towards the Normans!

This was followed by a second formation! The Norman Emperor's proudest repeating crossbowmen! A total of 2,000 repeating crossbowmen began to shoot continuously, as quickly as a storm after the Mongols rushed into range! With improved repeating crossbows that combined fire speed and intensity, countless crossbows were thrown at the Mongol cavalry.

"One arrow in a second!" the Emperor's Wrath crossbowmen roared their slogan, and skilfully pulled the lever to load the bolt, then pulled the trigger, and then pulled the lever again, pulling the trigger...... Each shot was fired at an accurate interval of one second - unlike the average heavy crossbowman, they fired in two loose formations of skirmishers. The back row of Emperor's Wrath crossbowmen stood, and the front row was half-kneeling and shooting. This doubles the number of arrows they can fire in a given amount of time!

In a skirmish array, two rows of soldiers fired freely. Plus a burst crossbow with a fast firing speed. This can be said to be a tactic in the early stages of the First World War. Although there were only 2,000 of them, the power was terrifying. The first group of Mongol cavalry, some of whom were hit by dozens of crossbow arrows in an instant, fell to the ground and died without a snort. With the shocking sound of "Buzzing ...... Booming Crossbow Bolts breaking through the air, the damage caused by the two thousand repeating crossbows has far exceeded the damage caused by the previous five thousand Norman crossbowmen!

During this time, Norman scientists, mechanics, casters, mathematicians, physicists, crossbow masters, alchemists, and high-level blacksmiths all worked together to refine the Egil's Fury repeater. It has reached the point of perfection. The scientists involved in the project proudly claim that no weapon in history has been as powerful as Egil's Fury.

Egil laughed it off. Looking at them, he pouted at another scientific research group that was working on a new type of artillery. Immediately after that, the people were silent. And the Norman Emperor, who succeeded in his prank, laughed heartily, although as compensation and apology, the researchers must be given double bonuses......

The effective range of the Egil's Fury has been increased from 80 meters to 120 meters. The eight strings have also been raised to ten, which can be fired ten times in a row. At a distance of one hundred and twenty meters, it was enough to shoot through the heavy chain mail and the corresponding heavy scale armor - although the Mongolian proton army wore double scale armor, it was difficult to shoot through. However, the Mongolian scale-armored war horse, which has a larger target, only has one layer of armor. And the Emperor's Wrath crossbowmen were aiming at the galloping Mongol war horses...,

A firing range of one hundred and twenty meters. The Mongol cavalry originally thought that as long as they stomped their feet and galloped on horseback, they would be able to reach it in a flash, and even their simple and primitive thinking would not have time to generate any thinking -- but today, it was such a distance -- the end of the world was just a stone's throw away! The Mongol proton army could only approach little by little, very slowly. The front one dies in the row, and the one behind takes a step forward!

The Mongols are moving forward with such difficulty, if you look at it from the sky, you can see that the Mongolian iron horsemen like ants are falling down layer by layer, but as a whole, they are still moving forward and moving forward like some multicellular animal......

"The other party, how can you have such a terrifying weapon?!" Not far away, among the main Mongol forces, seeing that the Norman two thousand crossbowmen stubbornly blocked the charge of tens of thousands of cowardly elite cavalry, a group of Mongolian soldiers were overwhelmed!

"No! The opponent will not continue to shoot continuously! And the opponent's shooting speed and lethality are not as strong as we imagined! As long as we hold on, as long as we rush over and get involved in close combat, we will be able to win!!" Nawokotai first broke out in a cold sweat, and then discovered this fact, and shouted loudly to appease the morale of the army.

"But until then, they must have enough morale to sustain them from collapsing after being subjected to such a dense and continuous fire...... "Ogedai added in his mind. Immediately after that, he slowly drew out his scimitar and launched the "Khan Eagle" skill, which was launched in an instant! The soldiers of the Proton Army, who had already lost about a third of their troops, were already suffering heavy losses, and the morale of the soldiers of the Proton Army, who had begun to waver, was suddenly full! They began to continue to roar and continue to charge! They were getting closer and closer to the Norman array!!

"Sure enough, in the classical period, it was still too difficult to block the charge of the heavy cavalry with a barrage head-on......? Maxim ......" Egil sighed softly, and then heard Aurora say, "Stop dreaming. He had to give the next order: "The crossbowmen shoot backwards while firing, and at the same time the new army first corps advances!"
