Chapter 55: Withdrawal
At that time, Genghis Khan only felt that 10,000 years had passed, and only a second had passed. The pain was intense and affected his whole body. So that he can't feel anything other than "pain".
The next moment, Genghis Khan fainted - his left shoulder was punched by the Norman emperor's buckshot. It is no longer possible to command operations.
"Great Khan !!!!!" The Mongolian soldiers closest to Genghis Khan screamed heartbreakingly.
At that time, all the Mongolian soldiers felt as if the sky had fallen. The Mongol soldiers closest to Genghis Khan were stunned and eager to replace him.
"Ahh!!!h
Although this shot didn't kill him because of the fact that Jebel pushed him and missed a little, it was still an extremely remarkable achievement. Egil couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly as he watched Genghis Khan, whose painful face was distorted, fall. At the same time, with a wave of his hand, he cut off the seven or eight Mongolian soldiers who were attacking in anger like cutting tofu.
"Retreat, retreat!" Seeing that the Norman Emperor was like a ghost, his own backbone fell. The Mongol army finally began to crumble. And with Genghis Khan's injury and falling, his Mongolian military god skills suddenly lost their effect. The Mongolian soldiers who were fighting on the front line suddenly felt empty in their hearts. And began to gradually retreat.
"Attack!" Seeing that the opposing army didn't know why, the combat effectiveness suddenly dropped a lot. The Norman empress, Artoria, immediately seized the opportunity and ordered the army to launch a strong attack. News of Genghis Khan's wounds, if not in battle, spread among the Mongol army. In this way, the retreat of the Mongols inevitably began......
Weeping and wailing, throwing off his armor, trampling on himself - Egil, who was in the middle of the Mongol army, had just faced a large number of Mongol warriors with ease. However, at this moment, he was almost overwhelmed and trampled to death by the Mongol rout...... That's it. Egil and his surviving soldiers had to continue fighting. Go against the tide. Against the swarming Mongol rout, such an action drained the last of their physical strength. As for Egil, his spirit was actually exhausted to the extreme. I almost couldn't hold it anymore just now......
"The power of fear is stronger than bravery. "At the time. Egil couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind.
Finally, around eight o'clock in the evening. The last Mongol troops fled in disarray. The Norman Emperor fought for a whole day - no, it should be said, for three days and three nights. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. Said something like that. Then he lay down in the pile of dead bodies, not wanting to get up again. At this time, there were less than 100 Norman soldiers with the emperor - there was not one in the 30,000 army of the palace!
At that time, when the Norman reinforcements arrived on this battlefield, they looked at a sea of corpses and blood, but there was no one who could stand. It was almost thought that this army, along with their emperor, had been wiped out. A group of armor soldiers looked at the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood and were stunned. Until a husky one. A tired voice sounded: "The Emperor is here!" Norman reacted and hurriedly ran over. Seeing the emperor lying motionless on the ground with blood all over his body, people thought he was seriously injured.
However, the reinforcements had been prepared for this for a long time, and immediately doctors and nurses from the field hospital carefully put the emperor on a stretcher. At the same time, Hippocrates, the best doctor in the Norman Empire, also brought a full set of surgical tools and medicinal materials to check Egil's condition.
Finally, after checking Egil's condition repeatedly. The doctor stood up with a strange expression, and then announced the incredible news to the nervous Normans: "Emperor...... The emperor was not harmed in any way, but was too tired and fell asleep. ”...,
When Hippocrates said this, the Norman soldiers' eyes widened in disbelief. After he explained again and again, after saying that he was not joking or anything, but telling the truth. The Norman soldiers finally got excited—and they were so excited!
Europe is different from Asia! Asia pays attention to the fact that the son of a daughter does not sit in court, while Europe is where individual heroism is prevalent, and the most popular emperor is the bravest and most warlike emperor! Originally, people felt that this emperor who always hid in the rear, gave orders, and did not often go to war. But now, that notion has been completely turned upside down!
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Messiah of Europa!!!"
The deafening cheers rang out on the battlefield and endured for a long time. People raised their swords and laughed loudly, shouted wildly, danced strange dances, or fell to their knees and howled loudly. All express their joy in the most extreme way. In this dark hour, in Europe where the Black Death was raging, under the threat of the Mongol iron cavalry - the Normans were so lucky to have such a good emperor!
In the midst of this cheer, the Norman army drifted away. The emperor, as well as the remnants of the soldiers who have fought under him to this day, were regarded as heroes and carried back to the second line of defense of Moscow's absolute defensive circle.
When all the troops left, Sonya, who had previously made a voice to ask people to find Egil the Great, and Sonya, who had also participated in the whole battle with Genghis Khan but was completely ignored, also held on and prepared to leave - because of her identity and gender. The Norman soldiers didn't want such an unhonorable name to appear among the heroes of "Save Europa", so Sonia had to walk back on foot by herself for a while.
And Sonia, who had just experienced a great battle, was not much better physically and mentally tired than Egil, and after only a few steps, she almost fell—just then, an arm held her up.
"You're doing a good job. Artoria, who held her, said with a blank face.
"Queen...... Your Highness?" Sonia was a little surprised, and couldn't figure out why Artoria, who usually had no friendship with her, would help her here.
"Well, without further ado, this time I want to thank you. With him in my absence. Artoria said, "In the future, you will take good care of him." After all, as a commander, I don't have many opportunities to charge into battle with him, but you are more suitable, after all, you are his personal guard, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness. Although there was a faint sense of condescension in Artoria's tone. But Sonia promised and responded to Artoria's words.
And so the battle began on the night of 21 March and ended on the night of 23 March. The campaign, which lasted for three days in total, was finally over. ‘
Both sides suffered heavy losses. The Normans had lost a strong and strong defensive line - even though they had tried to abandon it before doing so. In addition to this, the Norman army also lost more than 300,000 troops. Among them was part of the extremely elite Praetorian Guard. The Norman Emperor's knightly guard was almost completely wiped out. Alpha, the captain of the Knight Guard, was killed. The Norman Emperor lost his beloved general.
And the losses of the Mongols were correspondingly huge. More than 350,000 troops were killed, many of them trampled on each other during the retreat, and were pursued and killed by the Normans. Among them were a large number of elite Mongolian heavy cavalry, as well as the cowardly Xue army, the proton army part, which had amazing combat effectiveness. Their Great Khan, Temujin, was also seriously injured. And the most brave and warlike Mongol generals also lost two of them - Le Scorn and Borhu. These two Mongol generals, who had followed Genghis Khan in the southern and northern wars for decades, were killed one after another. ...,
It can be said that both sides suffered huge losses. And the Mongols suffered a little more losses than the Normans. In particular, Genghis Khan was seriously injured. Therefore, this battle was considered a Norman victory in the eyes of the vast majority of people. In a battle that bordered on despair, the Mongols were victorious, and Egil, the Norman emperor, deserved the first class credit. As the people cheered, "the savior of Europa", now, in Egil's character attribute column, the Messiah's attribute is slightly loosened, and a few bits of light are gone, of course, these are all unknown to the sleeping Egil.
It seems that there is still a slight problem with the set of equipment that Egil has. As mentioned before, he was able to keep Egil's ** fighting endlessly. But the mental fatigue accumulated during the battle could not be eliminated. This is what caused Egil to fall asleep - if the fierce war had lasted any longer, Egil might have gone berserk and become an eternal, endless killing machine......
In short, this matter is over for the time being. The Normans rejoiced, and the Mongols wailed. In a great battle, both sides lost six or seven hundred thousand troops. Both the Normans and the Mongols were badly wounded and needed to recuperate for a while before continuing to fight......
Three days later.
When Egil woke up, Artoria was by his side.
"We're victorious, aren't we?" asked Egil at the time, to Artoria.
"Well, yes, at least temporarily. Artoria's face was mixed, and he said to Egil.
“...... Genghis Khan is still alive?" was very clever in his mind, and soon understood the implicit meaning of Artoria's words.
"Yes, although his arm is temporarily immobile, it doesn't seem to affect him from continuing to command the battle. Artoria said, "During the few days you were unconscious. The Mongols had regrouped and were ready to continue fighting.
"In other words, we are going to continue to fight the Mongols?" Egil sighed softly, then shook his head and said to Artoria, "Help me up." ”
