As Egir thought, the more than 20,000 cavalry archers sent by the Mongols did not have much impact on the Norman army in the end. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoWhen the range of the archers is far from being reached, Norman's strong crossbow and longbow can calmly rain arrows at them. And when they reached range, the recurve bows they were equipped with were not too lethal for Norman soldiers in plate armor. Those arrows may have caused some casualties, but not very much. This was nothing to the Norman army under the great Emperor Egir.

The lightly armed archers, whom Ögedei had hoped for, failed again and again. And taking advantage of this opportunity, the Normans once again launched a charge on the right flank of the battlefield. In order to completely defeat the Torre, Egil mobilized more heavy cavalry forces than the previous one—two Norman knights in a thousand-man team, Norman royal knights in a ten-man squad of hundreds, and Norman Praetorian Knights in a three-hundred-man team. Together with the conscripted heavy cavalry from Eastern Europe, North Saxony and Flanders - a total of 5,000 iron cavalry, divided into two routes, one south and one north, swooped down on the weak link of the Mongol right flank!

"Damn it!" Torre shouted in despair as the other heavy rider roared towards him. And his army was on the verge of collapse in the next moment.

"General Jebe!" Ogedai shouted. And Jebel, who is the general of Mongolia, also said "um!", stepped forward, and performed the Khan Eagle stunt. The Mongol army, which was on the verge of collapse, was fully demoralized and revived.

"Look at how many more stunts you can perform. "I watched as the other side began to organize defenses again. Although it is still losing and retreating. But it didn't collapse in a thousand miles. Egil snorted coldly. Somewhat dissatisfied. Re-order the Norman cavalry to turn, adjust the direction, re-line, and make another charge.

"Send reinforcements to the right flank. Ogedai watched as the Norman knights, and after hearing the sound of a trumpet, he abandoned the enemy, turned and ran some distance, and began to re-line. He sighed secretly. Another 10,000 Mongol heavy cavalry were sent to the right flank to help Torre defend the front.

And Torre's department, after this series of fierce battles. I also understood how critical my situation really was. Seeing that his third brother actually sent reinforcements over. Torre was immediately impressed. Reinvigorated and decided to realign the situation. The Mongol servant corps, which counted as heavy infantry in the regular army, were singled out to form a new line of defense. And abandon those slave soldiers on the outside line.

In this way, the dispatch of the regular army alone was indeed much faster. With more than 30,000 heavy infantry of the Mongol servant army, plus 10,000 Mongol heavy cavalry, the defensive line of the right flank of the Mongol army was much smaller this time. But the defense is several times stronger.

Originally, during the attack, the hoplites of the Mongol servant army used short weapons such as battle axes, scimitars, and maces, which were suitable for close combat. But this time, when defending the array, the Mongols used spears and shields, which were standard shield-spearmen's equipment.

The hoplites were arranged in dense phalanxes according to the most classic, usual practice of fighting with cavalry. The few remaining Mongol archers in the Tuo Minley Division, as well as the crossbowmen who also belonged to the Mongol servant army, were protected and placed on the second line. And quite a few Mongol heavy cavalry, also dismounted, armed with spears and shields, to join the line. Make the line of defense more solid. Of course, the same also left the Mongols with less offensive power.

How pathetic, offensive, offensive in decades...... The Mongols, who kept attacking, actually took the initiative to give up their offensive forces at this moment. Use these elite hoplites as defensive forces. This is simply ridiculous.

"The right flank, it can't be broken for the time being. ”

Egil watched as the opponent assumed an absolutely defensive posture to deal with the attack of his heavy cavalry. Then he tentatively launched several attacks with a band charge - such an attack completely disintegrated the Mongol slave soldiers. However, in the face of a dense array of heavy infantry from the Mongol servant army and Mongol heavy cavalry dismounted to fight. The effect is not as good as expected.

Despite the wave charge, the stormy wave attack crumbled the opponent's defense line. But at the same time, the Norman army itself lost quite a few heavy cavalry. Although Egil was sure that if this continued, the victory would be his own. But the loss of too many elite knights is really an unacceptable loss.

What the emperor wanted was a hearty victory with fewer victories, not a reluctantly painful victory with many losses.

So, after seeing that the opponent's right flank was heavily defended, Egil changed his tactics again. He took back his precious heavy cavalry. The continuous, constantly attacking assault infantry on the right flank was also withdrawn. Let them recharge their batteries, or wait for other fighters. And once again, the new Norman army under his command was placed in the first column. Once again, the tactics of slow crushing of the super-long spear phalanx were used to gradually encroach on the Mongol right-wing army.

"Finally held the ......" although it is still at an absolute disadvantage. But it finally held. Torre was relieved as well. At the same time, he felt a little crying without tears - he originally had an army of more than 200,000 under his command. However, under the continuous onslaught of the Norman army, the vast majority of the slave troops fled, were killed, or surrendered. And when they collapsed, they almost drove their main forces to collapse together.

Still, the slave soldiers seemed to be more than successful. But they were a group of soldiers—and a large group of soldiers! Now Torre had only fifty or sixty thousand troops left—and a fifth of them were aided by his brother Ogedei.

Torre's side wanted to cry without tears. On the other hand, Chagatai also felt that his neck was choked so uncomfortable. On the left flank to which he belonged, Torre launched a total of two attacks, one with heavy cavalry and the other with light cavalry. And the final result of these two attacks ended in failure. Despite this, these two attacks have also made Chagatai's situation much better. The Norman forces on the left flank had to draw more troops to cope with the cavalry sent by the Mongols. This, in turn, weakened their offensive power.

However, at this moment, the Normans repelled two successive flank attacks of the Ögedei organization, so that the Mongol regent no longer had the courage and capital to continue to organize the attack. So then, Chagatai's good luck ran out.

He didn't even have as many troops as Torre's. The Persian army, the main force under his command, was not as effective as the Han army. And after the setback of the attack on the right flank, Egil naturally thought of the left flank...... That's it, although this kind of thing is to send heavy cavalry to attack, it will not be done for the time being. But to strengthen the forces of the left flank in order to launch a larger offensive, Egil still did this.

For a time, the offensive force of the Norman Empire was much fiercer. The Persian army was losing ground one after another. Just like what the Tractor suffered before!

Six hours had passed since the war began, and the attitude of the Mongols had changed one hundred and eighty degrees. From the time when the war had just begun, the momentum was ready to crush the Normans, to the present continuous losses. Suppressed by the Normandic [***] team, it became "Hurry up and end this war." "That's it. The speed is astounding. In total, more than 700,000 Mongol troops were killed in this large-scale battle, and about 50,000 were killed. More than 200,000 were defeated. If it weren't for the successive use of the Khan's Eagle skills by a number of Mongol generals, the entire army would have already retreated.

"Father Khan, I have been fighting against such an enemy before. And can you maintain an offensive stance...... It's incredible!" After a continuous deployment of troops, adjusting the posture of the front, and filling the loopholes caused by the fierce offensive of the Norman army. Ogedai sighed in his heart - his commanding skills were nothing compared to Egil's. Often, Egil was able to give more than three orders, while Ogedai could only give one—their judgment and analytical skills were not at the same level.

In this campaign, Egil can seize every opportunity to organize a vicious attack and at the same time defend without leaking. However, Wokotai was restrained, the attack was powerless, and the defense was full of holes. Although the army in his hand was twice as large as that of Egil, he was completely unable to effectively control it, but because there were too many of them, he could not control them, and then revealed many flaws.

Compared to the two sides, the Mongol army was like a bloated fat man, and more troops did not bring them more strength, but became a burden like excess fat. The Norman army, on the other hand, was well-proportioned and of normal stature. You can exercise every muscle in your body without dragging your feet. As for the brains of both sides, if Egil is the latest quad-core processor, then Wokotai is the Pentium IV that has long been eliminated, and the two sides are comparable surnames.

Ogedei's greatest wish now is for this day to end as soon as possible. The two sides ended in a "draw". After that, we will find a way to do it -- whether it is to negotiate peace or to stick to the camp. In short, it was absolutely impossible to fight the Normans any longer.

However, he thought so, but Egil was not at all. Little by little, time slipped away, and by four o'clock in the afternoon, nearly five o'clock—when the sky had begun to grow dark, the Norman emperor could not wait—and his thirst for victory made the emperor begin to attack without regard for the defense. Naturally, this made it more difficult for the Mongols to bear.

"There are about two hours left before dark, and in two hours, the battle is over. Egil thought so, and with a sinister smile, he turned to the bored Artoria and said, "Hani, you, and your Celtic army, are ready to go out now......"
