Without warning, the Mongolian army returned day by day. This time, they brought a larger number of troops and equipment that were more suitable for attacking the city. They were ready to launch a more violent attack on the Norman Empire's defense system.

Egil saw those craftsmen who looked like East Asians, or Middle Eastern and Persians, who were yelling and scolding from Mongolian soldiers, and quickly assembled the prepared materials into one by one, which was quite similar to the stone-cattering tools used earlier in the Norman Empire.

At the same time, there were a considerable number of infantry wearing Persian-style heavy scale armor or Central Plains-style heavy armored armor, holding long-handled battle axes. These infantry looked completely different from Mongolian soldiers. Although they also held Sulu ingot spears high, they did not seem to be Mongolians.

"It should be the heavy infantry obtained from the areas conquered by the Mongol Empire. Their equipment is quite similar to the heavy infantry of the Song Dynasty in another world history. It seems that these soldiers holding big axes will be the protagonists of this siege." Egil thought for a moment and understood the origin of this group of soldiers.

Although these people look very elite, very disciplined, and well-equipped heavy infantry. However, because they are not Mongolian ethnic groups, their morale should not be too high. As long as they are slightly stronger, they will most likely collapse.

Around these "protagonists", there are many siege machinery with a strong Central Plains style. Well railings, bed crossbows, wooden donkey carts and ladder trucks, and rushing cars. They all look well-made. The key parts of the siege machinery have been reinforced with iron sheets, especially those large wooden donkeys. Originally, the wooden donkey carts that were generally used for siege were covered with wooden boards and had a little defensive ability.

However, these prodigal sons from the grassland directly reinforced a thin sheet of iron on the outside of the layer of leather. You must know how valuable the iron tools are these days. You must also know how precious iron tools are in the grasslands where there are no iron ore at all. The Mongols have only been rising for decades, and Temujin had suffered all kinds of hardships when he was young. However, they did not expect that after these guys became nouveau riche, they were so prodigal... Egil was not as big as theirs.

However, it was just a layer of iron. It was not steel, and it could not resist the crossbow arrows of heavy pulley crossbows. Thinking of this, Egil was in a much better mood.

Next to those well-equipped and disciplined soldiers and their siege machinery, there were also soldiers wearing only light leather armor, wearing siege armor, holding crossbows. With them, there were also light leather armor. Some archers wrapped in animal skins, cloaks, and holding compound bows. These people looked like infantrymen who were trained. They should be to provide long-range fire cover for heavy infantrymen in the attack.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Egil knew that this time, these Mongols were going to take serious action. This was an army with rich experience, strict discipline, and relatively advanced siege machinery in this era! Even Egil had to take this army seriously.

At this moment, although he did not receive any news at first, since Egil was here, the Norman Emperor naturally became the commander-in-chief of this battle. The Norman Emperor, who had been through many battles, naturally would not be frightened. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his soldiers to take their place and prepare to fight the enemy.

Egil quickly made a decision and stood on the relatively safe side of the fortress wall, with a good view and a very strong weapon, and said such words while holding a monocular telescope and watching the enemy moves opposite.

"The engineers are ready. After the enemy enters the range, they will aim at the opponent's catapult to attack. Priority is given to those catapults, and then attack other siege machines on the opponent!"

Indeed, although the catapults and crossbows used by the other party looked similar to those of the Norman Empire. However, Egil was sure that without using assembly line operations and standard parts assembly, the accuracy of the Mongols' siege machinery would definitely not be the opponent of the large machinery produced by their own standard operations.

That's why Egil formulated such a tactic: using artillery, city defense crossbow and catapult to attack the opponent's Hui gun, causing the enemy to lose a large number of siege machinery, and forcing the opponent to adopt the previous, barbaric, inefficient siege method, or simply retreat.

Speaking of which, except for the tyrant Qin that had declined early, there were similar and highly specialized industrial workshops, there was no such cross-age production method in various dynasties in China. Sure enough, was Shang Yang a time traveler?

However, beyond Egil's expectations, the opponent's commander did not order an attack. In fact, after the opponent equipped the hundreds of magnificent Hui guns, the opponent's army did not take the next move. Then, before Egil had time to be surprised, he ran out of the opponent's array, shaking the white flag and gradually approaching.

"Your Majesty?" General Sula asked tentatively beside Egil. The meaning of that was naturally to ask, would he be cruel? Just start a war just by doing it.

As the emperor, Egil naturally could not do such a thing. He shook his head, waved his hand, and ordered: "Let that guy come over and see what he is going to say."

"What else can I say..." Artoria, who was standing next to Egil snorted softly. She looked quite unhappy. Eighty probably because Egil had rejected her advice before and refused to let her take her army out of the city and fight with the Mongols in the field.

Just kidding, the other party is a Mongolian, a Mongol of the Tiansha! Isn’t it uncomfortable to fight with them? Originally, Egil thought that he had epoch-making elite hussars trained in modern training. Although these cavalry may not be as good as Mongolian cavalry in terms of cavalry and personal bravery, they have sufficient discipline, and have strict training, formation and command bonuses. They should win against Mongolian cavalry that is at the peak of traditional cavalry!

In the history of another world, things also developed in this way. In the new millennium, the world was indeed the best in Mongolian cavalry. However, later, Europe adopted the Hungarian and Polish-style Hussar reforms. Eastern European-style Hussars, as well as professional cavalry that implemented modern military systems and implemented strict cavalry rules, became the mainstream.

In the Middle East, after the Islamization of the Mongols, after hundreds of years, the original Mongolian cavalry was eventually replaced by the new Ottoman army and became an elimination product. The descendants of the Islamized Mongolians who failed in the war had to retreat into the more backward Indian region, where they completed a new round of conquest.

In East Asia, the Mongolian cavalry, like other nomadic peoples who entered the Central Plains, gradually became corrupt and degenerated, reducing their combat effectiveness. The Mongols who were eventually overthrown by the Han people and retreated to the grasslands again were already a tragedy of deterioration. The combat effectiveness plummeted and was eventually ruled by the peak of another traditional cavalry, the Jianzhou Jurchens...

So - don't look at the Mongolian cavalry so awesome at this time, in fact, according to the historical process, in a few hundred years, these Mongolian cavalry will become outdated eliminations. This is also one of the sources of Egil's confidence.

However, based on the information obtained by Egir before, the situation was not the case at all. Indeed, ordinary Mongolian cavalry used the inherent combat skills of the nomads, and nothing new. But next, in the battle with the elite Mongolian heavy cavalry, the combat power of those heavy cavalry exceeded Egir's imagination.

Egil was sure that, after several improved Hussar troops, after several times, after equipping with heavy weapons, their combat effectiveness would never be inferior to any continental heavy cavalry through flexible tactics and strong will. Whether it was the Knights of the Holy Roman Empire, the Duke Guards, the Iron Guards of the Eastern Roman Empire, the Iron-armored Paladins, or the Mamluk Guards who were once brilliant but now destroyed. Egil felt that although his Hussar army would not win, at least it would not lose.

However, this time, fighting with the Mongols' cavalry made Egil know what it means to have a sky beyond the sky. The Mongols did not even use their most elite Qiexue Central Army, but just used a relatively ordinary and elite heavy cavalry unit. With basically the same number, they defeated the Norman Hussars - you should know that at the beginning, the Norman Hussars still raided!

In this case, Egil would naturally not be stupid and confronted each other head-on. In fact, Egil had already begun to think about what kind of high-sounding reason should he find to shut up the other party if the other party's messenger wanted to abandon the city defense and make a fight with him.

Just like that, less than a kilometer away, the Mongolian envoy arrived in a few minutes, carefully bypassed the trench, approaching the fortress in front, and arrived at the back of the Norman Empire, in front of the large fortress. With a spread of his hand, Egil also organized the words and was about to reject the enemy. Unexpectedly, the Mongolian envoy opened his mouth and said, not saying anything about the battle, but made Emperor Norman furious, and the morale of the Normans around him was furious!

"The Mongol Empire, the great Genghis Khan, ordered the Normans to surrender quickly and unconditionally!"
