Chapter 14 If nothing else, you won't lose if you are more imposing
After the messenger said this, he began to continue to say it. As he said more and more, Egil thought about it and felt it. If the article in his hand was translated into Chinese, it would be a good article with four and six characters and great literary talent. The above praises Genghis Khan and said it extremely stingy. This kind of words is basically certain. They were written by Han literati who worked as a Mongolian. If you can write such articles, you will not be famous in the Central Plains literary world.
"It's a pity that my character is a bit bad. Moreover, there is no such a market for too literary things here." Egil snorted lightly, and then he was no longer in the mood to listen to the bastard's nonsense. He laughed three times, then waved his hand. Robin Hood, who had already been unable to wait, was beside Egil, and he opened his bow and arrow, and shot through the messenger's neck like a meteor falling to the ground!
After this, Egil felt that it was not enough. However, although he had expected some situations before, he had prepared for the future and was proficient in Mongolian language. However, Temujin was so disrespectful and only had an insignificant messenger.
Then Emperor Norman naturally couldn't stand up and speak directly.
So Egil turned his face and whispered to another Mongolian-speaking guard knight, and then told him: "Just shout it out in Mongolian language as I told you!"
"Yes, your majesty." The guard knight nodded, then stepped forward and shouted at the messenger: "The Norman Empire, the great Majesty Egierskadragrimson, now orders all men in Mongolia to be his slaves!"
The messenger didn't seem to have expected that the other party would say such words. He was stunned at the time. Then, Egil raised his hand and shouted: "Everyone, just as he said, say the same thing!"
In this way, Egil repeated his order three times. First, it was rare for those around him who also knew a little Mongolian. Then, there were a little smarter officer. Although they did not understand what this sentence meant, it did not prevent them from learning the pronunciation of this sentence. Later, other soldiers also learned this sentence. This sentence: "The Norman Empire, the great Majesty Egilskadragrimson, now orders all people in Mongolia to become his slaves!" It became louder and louder. Although many people couldn't speak clearly and pronounced strangely, they could always understand it.
In this way, from west to east, the first line of defense in Moscow's absolute defense circle, hundreds of thousands of troops shouted in unison, shaking the sky. At that time, he overwhelmed the other party in terms of momentum. Seeing the other party cheering,
Hundreds of thousands of people shouted together, and they could be clearly heard within dozens of miles. Cheng Jinen Khan, who was waiting for news in the Central Military Camp, naturally heard the sweat and thought for a while, and then knew the other party’s plan. He snorted, “Arrogant.” Then he stopped talking.
However, Genghis Khan could bear it, but the Mongolian generals around him could not help it. The first one of the four Mongolian dogs over there, Lemme, came out, knelt on one knee, bowed to Temujin, and said, "Great Khan, look at the Normans, insulted you, insulted the great Mongolians, and insulted us all. I ask you to give me a chance to lead the army and kill all of these Normans!"
Next to him, a group of Mongolian generals jumped out one after another, knelt down in front of Chengjien Khan, begging their Khan to allow him to lead the army to fight. "Well, my warriors, let's go first!" Chengjien Khan did not order a group of Mongolian generals. Of course, he did not deny it. But for a moment, he couldn't sit still. The Mongolian Khan, who had originally relied on his identity, then stood up and walked out of the camp, saying to the generals as he walked. When he heard his Khan say this, the Mongolian generals followed him and walked out.
Along the way, the Mongolian soldiers heard the Normans' shouts and were all ready to fight. Looking forward, the Persians and Han people who did not understand Mongolian also seemed a little uneasy because of the cheers and shouts of the Norman army. Their morale was worn out little by little and fell. Temujin snorted lightly after reading it. Although the Mongolian Khan had never read any books on psychology and had not systematically studied the strategy of military book. However, with his years of experience gained from war, he could also infer that it would be detrimental to his side if this continued.
If you attack with your vassal troops as you think in advance, it would be a bit difficult. Now, everyone in the Mongolian men under your command holds their breath and wants to fight with the enemy. With their prestige, you can naturally suppress these desires for war. But your morale can't be extinguished. It may be fine to do this once or twice, but if such things happen too much, the soldiers will feel discouraged and affect their combat effectiveness.
"It seems that the opponent's commander has good wisdom." Although he suffered a small loss, Genghis Khan was not angry, but instead smiled confidently. At the same time, he ordered: "The craftsmen should pull the Huihui cannons up! The first batch of attacks will use the Han and Persians to weaken the opponent's strength. After the second batch of attacks, our Mongolian warriors will win!"
"Yes, Khan!" Hearing Genghis Khan's promise, although it was not the first group of people who could go out, the Mongolian soldiers were still very happy. At the same time, they secretly prayed that the slaves could fail faster so that the Mongolian warriors could enjoy more of the fun of war. As for slaves or something, how many deaths would be. This has nothing to do with the Mongolian soldiers.
In this way, at the command of Genghis Khan, hundreds of refrigerated cannons were pulled by a large number of people, mules, cattle, horses and other livestock, and slowly moved forward. The heavy infantry, which were small, gave up temporarily to imagine the useless things and began to slowly move forward.
"Oh, what's going on with the other party?" Seeing that the other party did not take his words, but started attacking directly. Egil, who wanted to show off his eloquence and his ability to ruin people, felt a little disappointed. But it didn't matter. Appetizers are of great importance, but relatively speaking, their importance is still not as important as main course, which is war.
Seeing the opponent's army slowly moving forward, Egil also began to calculate that the Mongols' Hui cannons had a range that was almost the same as the Norman Empire's catapults, and were slightly higher than the city defense crossbow. However, the Norman Empire was a garrison. Two meters high rammed earth and three meters high wooden city walls were five meters high. If they stood high, they could shoot far. Therefore, the city defense crossbow and catapults arranged at the top of the city were one step ahead of the Mongols and began to launch them.
The city defense crossbow, a round of volleys of catapults, an iron cannon fired by the castle, and a heavy crossbow gun fired by the city defense crossbow rushed towards the face. After a loud bang, several of the opponent's Hui cannons were destroyed. At the same time, they pierced and killed some enemy infantry. Then, a round of volleys of Norman army artillery were fired. The more violent roar and the powerful lethality of the flowering bullets caused nearly a hundred people to be killed in the Mongolian minions.
After suffering such injuries, the Mongol army did not seem very panic. They still advanced at the speed before. The infantry reorganized the array, and the craftsmen who lost the Hui artillery breathed a sigh of relief, retreated, and returned to the barracks to continue their work.
Soon, the opponent's Huihuan also reached the range. The Mongolian army stopped here and began to fight back hundreds of Huihuans, either using stone bombs, or using Mongolian gunpowder weapons to thunder, or they obtained technology from the Tang people to attack.
In an instant, the firelight, the explosion, the screams and the creaking sound of the wooden wall... These were originally tragic scenes brought to other enemies by the Normans, but this time they turned around and landed on the soldiers of the Norman Empire...
Under the attack of the Mongols, Norman's temporary recruitment of militias were in chaos. Norman officers and Norman's regular soldiers had to clamor to restore order and to ask Norman engineers to fight back against each other.
In this way, both sides used catapults and heavy crossbows to kill the enemy. After two or three rounds of attack, the Norman soldiers lowered their waists and hid behind the walls. The wooden walls that were not strong but would not be destroyed all at once were used as cover. The Mongolian soldiers also raised their shields and hid everywhere. The wooden donkey cart covered with iron was a very good cover. Many soldiers hid in it. The pointed wooden donkey cart, which was definitely a twenty-person person, seriously exceeded the standard, and each wooden donkey cart was stuffed at least thirty people.
The heavy soldiers of the Mongolian vassal army stayed in these wooden donkey chariots. These defensive machinery wrapped in iron can effectively resist the attacks of stray arrows, gravels, gunpowder shrapnel. It is relatively safe here. However, if Norman's stone caster uses stone bullets, or cannons use solid bullets, or is shot by a city defense crossbow, it will still be injured or even fall apart.
The first round of firefighting between the two sides began. Egil was very surprised that these Mongols actually had long-range firepower comparable to the Norman Empire. Although the accuracy of the rebirth cannons was insufficient, they could make up for it with their number and lethality. The siege machinery made by the Central Plains craftsmen were all strong enough. The city defense crossbows and catapults of their front-line fortresses were not enough in this case.
If you continue to attack those reflux cannons and gradually enter the range and start shooting, you will not be able to stop the opponent's troops from continuing to advance. And if you want to use barrage to block the opponent's army's continued advancement, you will not be able to resist the opponent's powerful firepower of the long-range projection machinery... It is worthy of being the Mongolian army.
The strong ability to attack exceeds Egil's imagination! (To be continued)
