The will to fight is extremely tenacious. The combat effectiveness is extremely strong. The means of fighting are rich and varied. The Mongol soldiers made a deep impression on the Normans. Especially after their second wave of armies directly and completely ignored their own soldiers in front of them, trampled their horses and trampled those Mongol soldiers who should be called "their own people" into meat sauce.

"Damn it, these madmen!" Seeing that the Mongols used this way to use cavalry to charge, and with this unrelenting ruthlessness, they broke the Norman soldiers on the slope and rushed into the interior of the wooden fort. At the first level of the fortress, the hussar general Joseph struck the battlements in a circle. He scolded: "What a bunch of inhuman madmen!"

And that's exactly what happened. The madness of the Mongols terrified the Norman soldiers. There were some improvised conscripts, and peasant soldiers from other countries shouted in fright. Floundered. Completely ineffective in combat. Of course, more soldiers, under the command of the officer, rushed in the direction of the other party's influx. Peasant soldiers armed with long signs, the levies formed a dense array under the command of a Norman officer, and attacked the enemy with spear thrusts, intending to drive the Mongols back.

However, instead of narrowing, the gap is getting wider.

The Mongols, though not as well equipped as the Norman soldiers. However, the cooperation is very tacit, and the individual combat effectiveness is far greater than that of the Norman militia, which is only trained twice a year during the agricultural slack. Especially those Mongolian soldiers, whose wolf-like eyes were particularly terrifying. In such a situation. The Norman defenders, who were not numerically superior and had no problem with their combat effectiveness, were soon overwhelmed by the swarming Mongols.

After storming the city, the Mongol soldiers jumped off their horses and fought on foot. Inside every wooden fort. They were garrisoned by nearly a thousand soldiers. Although, this figure is already quite considerable for the wooden fort, which is not very spacious. At this time, however, the Norman officers still lamented why they could not have added more soldiers, which would have been better if it had been a Norman regular army.

Inside each wooden fort, there was a hundred men of Norman infantry. Among the three fortresses that were attacked. Dressed in three-quarter plate armor and armed with sharp steel battle axes, these professional soldiers are the workhorse. Arguably. If it weren't for these elite warriors to support the Norman front, the fortress of the Norman Empire. I'm afraid it has already been crushed by the rampaging Mongol barbarians.

"We should send a reinforcement to the aid of the soldiers of those forts!" General Joseph looked solemn in the back, surrounded by a wooden fortress in the middle. Throwing the telescope to the attendant next to him, he said to Ivan, the Norman general standing on the other side, who also looked bad:

"I will send a thousand cavalry troops to charge from the enemy's flank to alleviate my own crisis. ”

"Wait a little longer—you see that our army can barely resist this wave of enemy attacks. Wait until next time. The next time the enemy attacked again, the general sent cavalry to charge. "Then Ivan was born in Eastern Europe. He was also a connoisseur in the use of cavalry. At that time, seeing the Mongolian cavalry so fierce, he also became competitive. He thought that Joseph Bacheng also thought the same, so he had to take the initiative to fight. Joseph had five thousand hussars under his command, so he could say this. However, he had only a few thousand improvised Eastern European cavalry militias under his command. ...,

These irregular cavalry did not have the fierceness and superb horsemanship of the nomadic cavalry, nor the discipline and strict tactics of the professional hussars. Although General Ivan had trained them as best he could, and equipped them with the best equipment he could obtain. However, these cavalry are best used as auxiliary cavalry. And not as a workhorse. This made General Ivan very envious of his colleague, who had five thousand elite professional cavalry.

Just as these two generals spoke. The tide of battle began to become stalemate. After a short period of panic. Thanks to the efforts of the Norman officers, the conscripted militia was finally stabilized. An array of shield spearmen was used to encroach on the Mongol positions at the head of the city little by little. And gradually gained the upper hand.

Although the Mongols were still roaring unwillingly, desperately trying to attack, and even some of the outlaw-like madness - ignoring the assassination of the spears around them, insisting on charging, and thinking that they were riding on war horses in a vain attempt to break the Norman array. Or which Norman grabbed and fell from the city. Or pick up the spear of a dead Norman on the ground and throw it at the Norman......

But still in vain, super-first-rate cavalry, first-class archers, second-rate or even third-rate infantry - this is the condition of the Mongols. These lightly armed, armed with scimitars and shields, were unfit to fight on foot. Thus, despite the fact that the number of soldiers was greater than that of the Normans, these forts were somewhat more numerous and had an overall advantage in morale. But the balance of victory was gradually tilting in favor of the Normans, who were hostile to the Mongols.

"Really...... The third array is dispatched!" Seeing that his own offensive was thwarted again. On the opposite side, the general's face sank like water. The various siege machines prepared by the craftsmen are still being debugged. Some equipment and craftsmen have to be dispatched from the rear. This led to the fact that he could only take human lives to attack this time. And it is known that the infantry of the Mongols was not very strong. Although Subutai has tried his best - use the slave to clear the passage and take sand to make a ramp. Successfully allowed the Mongol cavalry to rush to the head of the city. However, this is already the limit.

In the ensuing battle, the Mongols, as well as the soldiers of other nomadic peoples, had the upper hand for a time, although they attacked desperately. But it was still a shameful failure. And looking at the sun again, it has tilted to the west. According to the Han people, it is already the time of Shen. It is estimated that it will be dark soon.

"In other words, this is the last chance to attack......" After thinking about this, Subutai gritted his teeth: "This time, send elite troops!

These Mongol soldiers, known as the heavy cavalry of Subutai, possessed the most elite armor and sharpest swords made by the best craftsmen of Persia, Jin, Han, and even Arabia. Draped in two layers of scale armor inside and out, and covered with Persian-style chain mail, the face was also covered, leaving only two cold, almost emotionless eyes. Compared to the fanatical Mongol soldiers, who were like young and strong hungry wolves, these people were more like experienced old wolves, who would never strike lightly, but would take their lives as soon as they did.

"Although it is not the strongest force of our Mongols, it is not much worse than the cowardly Xue army. "I watched as this group of sturdy warriors stepped onto the horses that were also draped in heavy scale armor. Line up and get ready to attack. General Na Subutai smiled unconsciously. This batch, with a total of 5,000 heavy cavalry, was the strongest group of troops under his command. Once, with such 5,000 heavy cavalry, this general crushed the army of 50,000 gathered by a khan of Central Asia who opposed Genghis Khan. Succeeded in killing him and completely crushing his army. The loss of itself is less than five hundred. ...,

On the other side, seeing that the other side did not send any more light cavalry, but prepared an elite heavy cavalry. General Joseph was also a little stunned - the elite Norman hussars under his command were true, but they also had to be compared with whom. Compared to the fierce but too self-indulgent nomadic cavalry, his Norman hussars could easily win - even against the core of the Mongols. Compare those who ride the world's finest Mongolian war horses to the Mongols. The Norman hussars also came out on top.

But if it's against heavy cavalry, that's a different story.

"Fortunately, in the previous reform, the cavalry has been equipped with a cavalry wooden warehouse, otherwise, this time the losses will be great. "Weigh it again. Then Joseph decided that this time the thousand-man team was not one, but two.

"Get ready, all of them must carry armor-piercing hammers or military pickaxes! Light cavalry archers give up their bows and arrows and equip them with light crossbows! This time, we will compete with a heavy cavalry unit!!"

In this way, the hussars changed their equipment as quickly as they could, and fought against the heavy cavalry. Armor-piercing hammers with armor-piercing properties, as well as military pickaxes, heavy weapons, and small cavalry pulleys with slightly shorter range and less power. Immediately afterwards, the cavalry stepped on horseback. There is no drawbridge at the main entrance. Instead, he walked out quietly, one after another, through the secret door on the other side. Under the leadership of their respective centurions, they avoided those traps and trenches. Invisible to the Mongols, the flanks of the outer fortresses were assembled in the form of hundreds. As soon as the head of the city was ordered by a horn, they charged towards the flank of the Mongols!

At about the same time, the Mongol heavy cavalry was also prepared - they did not charge forward in a scattered formation like ordinary Mongol cavalry, but arranged in a prismatic shape, loose, highly mobile, and could quickly close together to form a dense formation. Under the unified command, under the leadership of their hundred households, they rushed towards the battlefield where they were fighting!

The scene of the heavy cavalry running was shocking, and the scene of the heavy cavalry company with armor being blown to pieces by artillery was equally shocking - but the most shocking moment was when 2,000 Norman hussars took the heavy cavalry by surprise and launched a charge on the flank of the heavy cavalry!
