The flank assaults launched by the Normans were enormous. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe Norman knights who were heavily armed, armed with elite plate armor - these Norman elites in full plate armor, because of the terrifying assault that Egir had led his knight guard before. And it was deeply remembered by the Mongols.

The Mongols, who saw the power of this super-heavy cavalry with their own eyes, will never forget it. Their even more exaggerated descriptions frightened other Mongols who had not seen Norman hoplites at the time. Some of the Mongols asked, "Are they stronger than our heavy cavalry?" and then those who had seen it would say, "Our cavalry is the best and bravest warriors." And theirs are terrifying killing machines!"

As a result, there was a general fear of the Norman hoplites in the Mongols. This is very rare for the Mongols who dominate the world. They called the Norman hoplites "Iron Men and Iron Horses" - of course, what they didn't know was that the Norman knights they called so were actually only Egil and Artoria, two hundred knights of the Guard. In addition, those Guard Knights that day would have such power, also thanks to the skill shroud opened by the Norman Emperor. Take the knights of the Guards, who were already able to be a hundred, to the next level.

The Mongols were completely unaware of these things, and what was worse was that the equipment of the Norman knights of all ranks was very similar. Therefore, many Mongol soldiers mistakenly regarded the Norman knights and royal knights who charged at the forefront as the knights of the guards who could conquer a million armies with just a few hundred horsemen in the war that day—and the other 4,000 miscellaneous soldiers who followed the knights that day ignored the example of Hot Springs.

Speaking of which, in addition to the three hundred Spartans, there were also five or six thousand troops from other Greek city-states who were stationed at Thermopylae. Thousands of troops were stationed in one place, and they were in danger of blocking the enemy's large forces for a while. It's a lot more reasonable to think about it.

Although I don't know these things. However, in order to make his knightly troops appear a little more majestic and majestic. Egir still placed all the Norman knights, the Norman royal knights, at the forefront. Behind the elite knightly units were knights from other countries armed with plate chain composite armor or heavy chain mail, or Norman noble cavalry or conscripted heavy cavalry. And the knights at the front, if you don't look closely, are actually very similar to the equipment of the knights of the guard.

They were likewise equipped with a full set of heavy plate armor, as were their horses. Except for the slight difference in quality and style, there is not much difference in the rest. Egil doubted that the average Mongol would be able to tell the difference.

Of course, obviously, no.

Therefore, these 3,000 heavy cavalry, because of the difference in the array, Egil used a looser formation, and stretched the array as long as possible, placing the elite knights in front...... Such tactics. Using such a slightly fraudulent tactic, the Norman 3,000 Iron Horsemen looked like 35,000 Iron Horsemen - or even more, the most powerful "Iron Man Iron Horse" in the Norman Empire!

"It's the Normans, the Norman Iron Horse, attacking our right flank!" shouted the Mongols, the Mongols, the Mongols, the Mongols, Some tried to resist, others prepared to flee. More often than not, they don't know what they should do.

"Death!"

In such a situation, the flanking charge of the Norman Iron Rider was perfect. In an instant, the Tuo Mine Division of the Mongol right flank lost thousands of soldiers and became the scum crushed by the Norman iron cavalry!

There was no formation, there was no morale, and the equipment was not right. The Mongol right wing was as if it had been specially shown for the Norman cavalry to ravage. A simple charge inflicted great damage on the Mongols. Not even Egil could have been convinced that things could have been so easy!

"Go on, keep attacking!" Egir shouted excitedly, as the trumpeter beside him began to blow his horn loudly. To order the Norman assault infantry on the right flank to launch a new charge.

With the opposing formation completely disrupted, the Norman assault infantry attack was also very smooth, and these blonde and blue-eyed Nordic Khans laughed wildly and waved their long-handled battle axes. Scatter the flesh of the Torre who were hostile to them!And the other assault infantry that followed them, not to be outdone, tried to outrun these executioners and run to the front line in order to harvest more lives.

"Stop, stop them, hurry up!!" watched his array crumble. Torre's eyes cracked. Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to send out his most precious detachment of 10,000 Mongol heavy cavalry - the most valuable thing he had ever obtained from the family property divided into Geith Khan. After sending these troops, Torre felt as uncomfortable as having his heart gouged up.

Torre did not want to adjust his army to defend against Norman attacks on the flanks. Although he was dissatisfied with Ogedei, he also knew the priorities. He knew that the most important thing now was to defeat the Normans - however, he thought so. But that doesn't mean he can do it! Torre simply doesn't have enough talent to command an army of more than 100,000 people. At the same time, the vast majority of the cannon fodder troops under his command could not be dispatched as much as they could handle! Some of those mud-legged soldiers could not even distinguish between left and right! Many of them could not even understand Mongolian! This made Torre sweat in a hurry, but to no avail!

So, in order to avoid the collapse of their own army, they will eventually drag down the entire battlefield. The four Mongol princes were forced to throw their only mobile army into the front line. They will be the backbone of the workhorse. At the same time, it was also the Overseer, a total of 10,000 Mongol heavy cavalry, divided into two teams, both of 5,000 men, at the command of Torrey.

One of the teams dismounted and advanced, stabilizing the infantry formation on the front line. The Norman assault infantry was barred. The other 5,000 went back in time to fight the heavy knights of the Norman Empire. The Norman tomahawks and the Mongol heavy maces collided violently with each other. The prelude to a fierce, heavy cavalry battle was sounded.

In this way, Torre fought hard. The trend of the collapse of the army has been stabilized. Although this seems to be only temporary, the Norman emperor continued to send troops. Prepare to send more hoplites, as well as assault infantry. Intensify the army on the right flank and launch a more violent attack.

"The enemy is weaker there, so it's best to attack there. Egil thought so, and the speed of the dispatch of troops was very fast. This is in stark contrast to the sluggish response of the Mongols.

And the same, at the same time, is also a stark contrast, is the fate of the 20,000 heavy cavalry sent by the Mongols.

The same heavy cavalry was sent to attack the opponent's flank, and the Normans sent 3,000 men, but less than one-sixth of the Mongols, so that one wing of the Mongols almost collapsed. On the other side, the Mongols sent an army of 20,000 men, but they hit the iron plate!

It's like what happened when the Proton Army, which was stronger than them before, attacked the front of the Norman Empire. After a rain of arrows from heavy crossbowmen and repeaters, they crashed into the Norman Empire's proud phalanx of spears. This was followed by a massacre. The Mongol general, who led this cavalry, was clever and turned again, ready to charge again. But the end result was just more Mongol corpses shot by Norman crossbowmen.

The Mongol attack on the Norman flank ended in complete failure. The remnants of the Mongol heavy cavalry were humiliated by the Norman 3rd Hussar Legion, the only remaining part of the hussars, armed with battle axes, war hammers, cavalry crossbows and armor-piercing cones, and almost died. This made the last bit of Wokotai's counterattack disappear. The war has been fought to this point, and the final outcome is already very obvious. It must have ended in the defeat of the Mongols - but the degree of this defeat was greater or less. It's just a big or small difference.

Actually, though, it's not that different. It's a failure anyway. For the Mongols, a baseless and rising nouveau riche for a while, just one defeat was enough to knock them back to their original shape.

"So, you have to win. "Ogedai watched as the left wing was suppressed and the right wing was suppressed. The front is still suppressed. Bad battlefield couldn't be worse. Biting his lip so hard that he even bit blood, but he still didn't feel anything.

"Send the light cavalry, pat the light cavalry to make a detour and disturb the opponent's flanks!!"

At this moment, Wokotai has almost died as a live horse doctor. Unable to shake the two wings of the Norman Empire, the heavy cavalry tried to gain an advantage with the tactics of light cavalry harassment - well, the Mongol light cavalry was unrivaled in cavalry and archery. They have won many victories in the past - but look at who their current opponents are? Normans with the most powerful long-range attacks in the world! In the face of a rain of crossbows, the Mongol heavy cavalry was not spared, let alone the Mongol cavalry archers who were even weaker in defense?!

As for being harassed by the archers, so blindly pursuing and destroying the formation, it will not happen. The Norman army was the most disciplined in the world. Egil's elite command, as long as an order is given, the sword mountain and the sea of fire will not shy away. Not to mention a few archers?!

Therefore, after seeing that the other party sent a group of archers, Egir not only did not worry, but showed a smug smile: "The donkey skills are exhausted. ”
