The crossbowmen of the Norman Empire were well-trained and had sufficient numbers. Therefore, they could use group shooting to deal with battles. This is different from the crossbowmen, which were used in the field battlefield, the crossbowmen array shooting in the four or even five sections on the battlefield. Because of the angle of the city, basically, most of the time, the crossbowmen were only visible in the front row. Even if the front row squatted, the soldiers in the back row would not be able to see the enemy due to the angle problem.

Therefore, the group shooting of Norman crossbowmen is that after each row of crossbowmen is finished shooting, they quickly retreat and retreat to the last row, while the crossbowmen in the back row stepped forward to shoot. This exchange is continuous and continuous. Although it is not as fast as the segmented shooting speed, it is much better than the single-row crossbowmen.

The Nova Scandinavian Legion, Eastern European Border Legion, Southwest Polish Legion, Western Polish Legion, and North Saxony Legion. There are five legions in total, eight thousand heavy crossbowmen. In addition to the group that was lost during the battle of the outer defense line before, there are more than seven thousand. On the left and right, the two castles each have more than 3,500 people. They are divided into four teams and each team is more than 900 people stationed on the octagonal fortress wall, facing the four sides of the Mongolian army. Nine hundred people are arranged in three rows, each row, and about two hundred Norman militia crossbowmen are added to gather 500 people. They throw arrows to the Mongolian minions by group shooting.

Under such supplementary firepower, the casualties of the Mongolian minion army increased again. Originally, the army, which was seriously injured under the bombing of various large machinery in the Norman Empire's city defense system, could not bear it this time. On the roadside, the fresh slaughterhouse added countless more complete materials that were shot by crossbows, arrows, and bows.

Without considering other factors, ordinary troops will begin to collapse when they are killed or about 10% of the time. The elite troops cannot withstand 30% of the casualties. Not to mention, a few people will escape if they die a little. Most experienced generals know this judgment. However, this experience will not work on the battlefield today.

As we advanced to the city wall of the Norman Empire fortress, the casualties of the Mongolian vassal army probably exceeded 40%. However, under the influence of the Mongolian military god skills, these Mongolian vassal army still maintained high morale and certain combat effectiveness.

As the enemy approached, the Norman Empire's garrison immediately changed its tactics. Under Egil's order, the Norman Empire's engineers and baggage soldiers immediately opened the cellar not far from the city wall. They took out the stored large amount of paradise flame oil. They sealed it with hardwood and tiles on several zeniths. Only some shooting ports were left. Copper tubes, pumps, asbestos mesh, open flame lamps and cowhide bags and other equipment were assembled. Soon, more than seventy large paradise flame ejectors were assembled successfully.

These equipment was quickly dispersed to all corners of the fortress and adjusted the angle. Immediately afterwards, the engineers teamed up in groups, one holding a copper tube, aiming the nozzle at the bottom of the city, and the other squeezed the pump. The heavenly flame oil burned violently through the lights hanging in front of the copper tube! Fire dragons formed and were sieging under the city, striking the city, and the Mongolian servants who were sieging the city with ladders or tower cars rushed over!

Originally, it was the secret weapon of the Eastern Roman Empire. The strongest killer move in the city and naval battles, and the Greek flamethrower that was on the verge of losing. Now it has been re-exerted in the Norman Empire. It has re-exerted its huge power! With the kinetic energy brought by the pump and the gravity of the falling gravity, the fiercely burning paradise flame oil, like a pillar, hit directly on the Mongolian servants who were about to climb the city wall!

The craftsmen and researchers of the Norman Empire once tried with clear water on a flat test site. Even if they were sprayed with clear water alone, the huge force could make people ready to stand still. Not to mention, they were condescending and gravity.

With the burning flames of heaven swept away, the liquid grease directly passed through the gaps in the armor, and the unbearable high temperature and impact force were wiped out half of the Mongolian servant soldiers who were hit in an instant.

Some soldiers died on the spot, leaving only half of the bodies that were still burning violently, making "sizzling" sounds. Some were lucky - no, they should be said to be unfortunate, and there was still a breath left. Under the unbearable burns, they screamed wildly, ran, then fell, and then rolled - their bodies curled up into a ball and stopped moving.

The bright and conspicuous attack method and shocking effect made these heavenly flamethrowers the stars of this battle. Whether it is the human body, the iron-covered pointed wooden donkey cart, or the thick building cart, it cannot withstand the attack of this weapon. It is just a difference in the length of time required.

Seeing nearly a hundred fire dragons pounced down on the other party's city. The Mongolian Khan, who was watching the battle in the distance, was silent on the surface, but was extremely shocked inside.

"How many methods do these Normans have not used?!" Temujin thought so, and at the same time strengthened his confidence--it must be destroyed, this vigorous empire must be destroyed! Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!

At the same time, Genghis Khan also understood that if he took a frontal attack, it would be difficult to break through - even if it was just the line of defense in front of him, his side might not be able to break through. Not to mention, behind this line of defense, there are several tightly guarded and many garrison troops, which are not inferior to the current line of defense in front of him.

"However, even if you use the roundabout flanking method, it will be difficult to work when you are anxious. And it is August now. It will be a little late, and winter will begin... The Norman Empire is eager to break through. Time... there is not much time."

Not to mention Genghis Khan for the time being, that kind of a hero's old feeling. Look at the front battlefield. In addition to the heavenly flamethrower, other more traditional wooden crocks, stones, bows and crossbows also attack continuously. The stone caster does not need to be used for the time being. However, the large city defense crossbow has another use now - it is to shoot at the dozens of surviving tower cars led by the Mongolian servants. I hope to destroy these things to prevent the other party from entering the city.

Under the powerful attack of the Norman Empire, the Mongolian vassal army was still struggling desperately. Unlike before, this time, their commander Guo Kan did not command behind him. Instead, he went into battle himself. He held a rattan card in one hand and a big knife in the other hand. He shouted desperately to ask the soldiers to attack the city. A small number of crossbowmen also shot at the top of the city under the command of their respective officers, attacking with superior support and protection to cover his infantry to climb the city.

The Mongolian Servant Infantry, either struggling to put the ladder on the top of the city, or lined up to enter the ladder truck. They all continued to move towards the top of the city. The ladder had barbs on the ladder, and there were a large number of Mongolian Servant Infantry underneath. It was difficult to push the ladder down in an urgent manner. The crossbow guns of the city defense crossbow, even the ignited fire arrows, could not burn the car at once. Although the number of casualties in the Mongolian Servant Army was high, it had been more than half of the damage. However, it was getting closer and closer to the city!

"Your Majesty, please avoid it for the time being!" As the enemy gradually approached, although his soldiers used the long hook to defend the city, they pushed down a lot of the opponent's ladder and burned some of the building cars. However, they could not stop the opponent from entering the city. Next to Egil, a group of guard knights urged him, hoping that Egil would leave for the time being to avoid the dangers that might arise.

"Really," however, Egil looked completely unhappy: "Do you know that, even before the war, during the war, the generals could make various adjustments and issue orders to gain advantages or make mistakes. The difference between famous generals and mediocre people is reflected at this time... But when it comes to close contact and the troops of both sides face each other head-on, no matter who it is, there will be no big mistakes."

"This...this...this...master?" Hearing Egil said such words inexplicably, the guard knights couldn't understand it. Then they saw Emperor Norman suddenly pull out the long sword from his waist - and waved the sword to the top of the city, and then beheaded a Mongolian servant who had just poked his head out!

"That's it!" Egil shouted in excitement, and at the same time, he took a step forward, grabbed the head of the person who was full of surprise and felt as if he was dying with his eyes open. He grabbed his hair and stood on the front line.

"Don't worry about me, I'm also a warrior. Speaking of which, my skills are much better than you!" Egil announced in this way with the head of the human head and the blade of life. Then he stabbed a straight knife, stabbing into the left eye of the next enemy who was protruding his head, destroying his brain. Then he turned his wrist and lifted the knife. The saber exuding a terrifying aura turned from bottom to top, tilted, and cut half of the man's head open. The extremely sharp blade and Egil's skill made the dark purple blade not stained with any blood.

Immediately afterwards, Egil beheaded the man again before he was about to fall, and threw the two heads together. He announced: "Look at me, how many foolish heads can be cut off today!"

As Egil said this, he ran to the other side of the city wall where several enemies had climbed up. Wherever he passed, there was a bloody storm, with an absolute cavalry of thousands, and equipped with armor and weapons of artifact level. He abused and killed ordinary soldiers with absolute advantage. At the same time, there were a large number of guard knights around him ready to deal with emergencies. Egil said that this way of playing was quite interesting, and it was the same as beating a child... (To be continued.
