Soon, in a matter of days, when the combined forces of the Cumans and Centaurs found that they had been trapped in a great trap like wild beasts, none of them had a good look on their faces—the Normans continued to push their fortifications inward, and to ...... Relying on the main force and the original fortifications, they continued to move forward, further inward, and continued to build all kinds of buildings, some of which they had seen and some had not, but all of them were beyond the imagination of the coalition forces. Even, when there was no need to rush the work, the soldiers began to use stone and brick to build stronger and more durable fortifications in order to pursue the effect.

It's like a pocket that's getting tighter and tighter. It makes people feel suffocating and extremely unpleasant. It is as if those evil ones, not for the sake of obtaining animal flesh and skins, but for the sake of amusement, filling in the traps that have fallen into their prey.

"It's not going to go on like this. Seeing the other party's pockets getting tighter and tighter. The combined forces of the Cumans and centaurs were in a hurry. Ignoring the fact that his army was not good at attacking fortified positions, he rushed headlong towards the most fortified defense system, which was also the road leading to the Kazan area. Ayujie Khan was also a little flustered at this moment, and couldn't think of any way, so he also let the leaders below attack. Of course, the centaur khan had come up with his own ideas for the outermost ditches and obstacles such as horse pits.

The coalition gathered all the sacks and sacks they could find, and some of the soldiers shoveled dirt with improvised tools and filled the bags, while the other part of the heavily armored centaurs carried the bags of sand to the trenches, braving the rain of bows and arrows on the opposite side...... Stuff like that, and pour sand into the trench.

However, even the centaurs who do this death squad-like job are all heavily armoured, fast, and very defensive. But the Norman troops stationed there were not ambiguous, the well-trained longbowmen immediately replaced with armor-piercing cones, and the giant shield crossbowmen could ignore the protection of the two layers of scale armor and pierce directly into the flesh. Coupled with more than a dozen heavy city defense crossbows equipped on the design platform and operated by the engineers, the centaurs suffered heavy casualties for a while.

At the same time, the Norman soldiers lit the beacon and informed them that the position had been attacked. As a result, several nearby camps immediately ran along the unobstructed grassland on the periphery to support, and the Norman soldiers gathered in this camp of less than three square kilometers exceeded 20,000 in the blink of an eye. Soon, as the first trench was filled, the centaurs howled wildly, trampling on large swaths of corpses and rushing towards the second trench - a large number of lightly armed archers joined the fire.

"Dispatch the Heavenly Flames!

The Centaurs were mad and deadly, and as the front advanced, the pressure on the Normans increased. Seeing that their own archers were also within range, the coalition forces immediately sent a large number of archers to shoot at the Norman soldiers on the wooden fences and firing platforms - although most of the bows and arrows were defended by the battlements and baffles, they still caused a lot of trouble for the Normans, and casualties followed.

At the front, at this moment, Egil and Artoria are hurrying to this side. Robin Hood, the commander of the longbowmen and crossbowmen, the Death Knight captain Alpha, the Battlefield Order's Priest, Bishop Peter, the three high-ranking generals, and the three legion commanders, Joseph, Evan and Ivan were also absent, and the largest was a few thousand commanders. Originally, according to the military reform regulations, the commanders were not qualified to deploy and use these two secret weapons. But at this moment, no one cares about this. A Norman infantry commander was in a hurry and gave such an order.

Since the commanders are like this, let alone the big-headed soldiers below, after hearing the order, more than a dozen Norman infantrymen in heavy armor jumped directly from the two-meter-high wooden wall, and then stumbled towards the warehouse behind the material reserves.

Soon, as the cries of the centaurs drew nearer, and the hideous and terrifying faces of sweat, dust, mud and blood were clearly visible—and the second trench was about to be filled, the soldiers finally ran back, each holding several canisters of Heaven's Flame, or a similar number of iron cannons—and a few soldiers struggled to carry a one-meter-tall oil drum filled with Heaven's Flame Oil. ...,

"Okay—kill those dogs!" the Norman soldiers erupted in cheers, and then, a few catapults that had fired gravel blocks before, but because the opponent was heavily armoured, they didn't kill many people, and replaced them with the latest Heavenly Flame Canisters.

"Launch!"

At the order of the Norman officer, a dozen canisters of heavenly flame were thrown out, cutting a parabola through the air, and then falling to the ground, or the bodies of the centaurs, shattering and scattering the oil everywhere—and the flames on the fuses of the clay pots that had been lit before burned into a large, nearly one-man high wall of fire in an instant.

"Fire!fire!!"

The centaur soldiers screamed and slapped the flames on their bodies—but the oil was directly attached to them, and they couldn't be struck off. The soldiers rolled, struggled, and ran like crazy—and the fire came again

somewhere else. The attacking centaur units were suddenly in disarray. - Because there was a trench in front of the wooden wall and the barracks, the Norman soldiers did not have to worry about the fire burning their heads. Thus yes

Feel free to use this weapon boldly.

"Good!" Seeing the great power of the Heavenly Flames, the Norman soldiers celebrated, and soon someone went to the warehouse to get more fire pots. And the longbow

The hands also took the cotton wool that had been handed out, soaked the cloth strips in the barrel of fire oil, and then tied them to their arrows and made improvised rockets and shot them out, fueling the fierce fire outside the city. With more and more fire oil cans are been

Thrown out, the battlefield outside became a sea of fire, the smell of burning, and the smell of roasted meat, the stench of burning steel, and leather mixed together, disgusting.

and

Compared to the very good results of Heavenly Flame, the explosive power of those iron cannons was not as good as expected. For the lightly armed centaur archers, these exploding pieces of iron and iron filings were undoubtedly deadly,

However, for the heavily armored Centaur death squads, these explosions weren't powerful enough. It can only do very little damage - not even any damage at all. However, the violent explosion and the choking smoke of gunpowder

To a certain extent, it also exacerbated the chaos of the centaur army.

"This city looks like it can't be breached......"

Seeing that outside the barracks has become a sea of fire, half

The human horse Khan Ayujie couldn't help but close his eyes. Extreme anger, anxiety, and a little fear made the usually mild-mannered middle-aged man red-eyed, and with a "choke!" sound, he pulled himself out of the gem-covered scabbard

Own scimitar. However, what followed was a weak voice, unwilling but helpless: "Retreat......"

Seeing the other party fleeing in disgrace, the Norman soldiers in the barracks cheered loudly. And after hearing these cheers, Ayujie Khan's face became even worse when he fled back in embarrassment.

In this battle, in just half a day's effort, more than 5,000 centaur warriors were killed. In addition to this, the blow to the morale of the coalition forces is also quite huge. Even Ayujie Khan had such an emotion: "In this case, can we really win?!"

The opponent's combat power is stronger than he imagined. Possess weapons beyond your imagination - although I have heard that a Roman Empire on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea once invented something that could be at sea level, which is very terrifying

, known as the oil of Greek fire, but never seen in kind...... Now that I think about it, this must be that kind of weapon...... It's a terrifying weapon...... It was okay in the field, and the soldiers on both sides were entangled with each other

This weapon is not easy to fiddle with. However, in the siege of the city, or in the battle of defending the city, shooting this kind of fire pot through a catapult is a very terrifying means of attack......

On the same day, a fierce quarrel broke out within the coalition forces, and some of the leaders who were frightened by the Normans hoped to negotiate with them.

"Even if we hand over some of the loot. It's better than waiting here to die?!" said the leaders.

"Shut up, cowards, the Cumans are absolutely uncompromising—the Normans are nothing more than a bunch of shrunken turtles cowering in castles, not daring to fight head-on!

"Wait, we still have a chance—we can get out of the swamps to the south—there are no enemy castles there, and the defenses are not very high. The leaders said.

"The swamps can drastically limit our ability to move – not to mention the large amount of loot we carry with us. They just want us to move from the swampy terrain and get trapped in that muddy pond, and they'll gather

Get up, hit us hard in the rear, and then we'll be finished!" shouted Ayujie Khan, who had been silent. Hearing him say this, the Cumans and centaurs were silent for a while.

"So Khan, do you have any other ideas?" someone asked.

"While the morale of our army has not yet dropped to the point where it is no longer possible, while we still have the strength to fight, we will submit a war letter to the Normans and make an appointment to fight. In addition to this, it is the fortification buildings that send troops to harass the enemy. They can't be allowed to push any further inside. Otherwise, we'll all be trapped to death!"
