Chapter 43
The Empire has never been sacred. The Empire has never been sacred. : The whole set of plays
At that time, the messenger cursed in his heart: Why is this old bastard so suspicious? At the same time, he pretended to be grateful and hurriedly agreed to Genghis Khan's words. In fact, Genghis Khan really had some plans to subdue the noble Ross. Not to mention anything else, just relying on his pictures and the detailed drawings marked are enough to arouse Genghis Khan's interest. You must know that such an accurate drawing method also plays a very important role in military affairs.
"But I don't know what this way of drawing is. I have conquered so many countries and met many praised painters. But it seems that none of them are good at drawing." Genghis Khan was a little strange. But it was just strange. He didn't think much. In fact, if he thought a little more, this time the plan would have failed because such a small detail was not done well...
Immediately afterwards, Genghis Khan asked the envoy many questions about the Norman Empire, mainly military aspects. The envoy also said everything he knew without reservation. But most of these were irrelevant information. Or maybe the Mongols had already known it.
Despite this, during such a conversation, Genghis Khan tested the messenger several times. The conclusions he got were still satisfied. At the same time, the messenger's ability, especially his eloquence, was further affirmed by Genghis Khan. If he was left behind, half was to be a hostage and half was to really recruit him. Then, at this moment, the idea of really recruiting him was taken up by half.
On March 21, 1010, on a clear, cool- or cold night, the Mongols selected a thousand elites from the Proton Army and selected a thousand elites from the Qiexue Army. A total of two elite troops of a thousand-person team were armed with grass and horses. They could not make any sound without turbulence. They quietly rushed towards the Norman Empire and the first line of defense in the absolute defense circle of Moscow. The two seemingly indestructible fortresses were also ready to go. The main Mongolian troops were also ready to go, wearing armor and armed arms, feeding the war horses, and preparing for combat.
The two Yan Qianhu, who were leading the way, and the twenty hundred households, had already seen the target location familiar. After touching the city, the two commando teams quickly divided into several groups. Under the leadership of their own households, they found a sufficient amount of gunpowder jar, filled the fuse, and made it into **. Then ignited it!
The rumbling explosions came one after another for a moment! The silent night was broken! The Norman soldiers standing guard at the top of the city quickly reacted and sounded the alarm! As the smoke dissipated, the wall was indeed broken into pieces as the envoy said, revealing the passage to the inner city and the stairs leading to the city wall!
"Roar! Rush in! Fight according to the planned plan in advance!" The elite Mongolian soldiers shouted excitedly, waving scimitars, battle axes, maces and other weapons, and quickly rushed in from various gaps in the city wall. Some rushed towards the city wall along the stairs, and some rushed towards the city wall. Soon, shouting and killing came! Genghis Khan, who was anxiously waiting for news not far away, slapped his thigh and shouted: "Defeat the Norman Empire, today!" He waved the scimitar in his hand and pointed straight at the fortress of the Norman Empire!
A large number of troops supporting the troops - Mongolian light cavalry, heavy cavalry, nomadic cavalry that allied it, as well as the heavy infantry, light infantry and slave troops of the minion army... A total of 250,000 troops rushed towards the fortress that had already appeared in loopholes! Prepare to avenge the previous shame and kill all the damn Normans! Let the Mongolian Empire truly conquer this world!
That's how things seem to be going.
At least before those people encountered setbacks, they were confused by the paths like a maze in the city. Then they suddenly realized that the "city" they rushed into seemed different from what they imagined.
Originally, according to the "Ross nobles", the commando should have blown up the "secret doors" of the second city wall. However, after a roar, the Norman Empire's walls remained solid. The excessive crossbowmen and defenders on the city wall also made these commando soldiers and the reinforcements who arrived successively noticed that something was wrong.
On the city wall, the enemy's torches were too bright, and the enemy's reaction was too fast. Things seemed to be developing in a direction that was very bad for the Mongols.
"The Mongols will conquer the world?"
Although it is bright, it only feels darkness. Although it should be hot, it gives people a cold feeling. There are torches everywhere, the city head as bright as day, and the city walls as quiet as death. The magnetic and extremely eye-catching sound of Egil.
"It's really. ridiculous. This is the funnyest joke I have heard." Among the thousands of troops, he was condescending and dressed in full. The graceful and luxurious posture of Egil Scadragrim, who was like a god, smiled: "A nation sleeping in a tent. Want to conquer the world? Hahahahahahaha..."
With Egil's smile, the Mongolian army, who entered the trap, suffered a severe blow. They were surprised to find that the surrounding area of the larger urn was already filled with flammable and explosive gunpowder, firewood, hay and other things. After the Normans threw torches and rockets in large quantities, these Mongolian army fell into a sea of fire!
"This time, it's my victory!" Egil looked at the Mongol who was panicked in the flames and showed a hideous smile.
A month ago, when the Black Death spread further, Egil knew that he could not wait any longer. The mobilized troops must be repatriated as soon as possible. Otherwise, the army's minds will change and something will happen.
However, if the Norman team went back like this, the Mongols would not be encouraged and strengthened their offensive. With a group of professional troops alone, they would not be able to withstand the Mongols' attacks.
Therefore, Egil made a plan, hoping to give the Mongols a major killing before leaving, so that they could retreat. At the same time, they should also give up the entire first line of defense to prevent these Mongols from using this line of defense and in turn as a front-line base for attacking the Norman Empire.
In this way, after meditating, Egil finally thought of a plan to surrender, ask you to get into the trap, turn the entire fortress system into a sea of fire, and completely burn it. He also obtained the help of Moscow Duke Katerina. He obtained the token from her. He sent a capable spy who was proficient in Mongolian and pretended to be a noble Ross to surrender. The secret door drawings given by the spy, except for the first line of defense, the outermost walls of the two fortresses, and dived into the fire scene that Egil had already arranged, all the others were fake and worthless.
In the end, Genghis Khan lost his judgment because he was too anxious and was deceived, and the Mongols really gave him face. He sent an army of hundreds of thousands to die.
This failure, coupled with the losses of the Mongolian army on the southern front, also the losses of the Mongols in the past two years to attack the absolute defense circle. On the battlefield with the Normans, the number of troops lost by the Mongols for various reasons has exceeded one million. Such a huge loss and such a painful failure will make the Mongols unable to recover for a while.
In addition, Egil had already sent a certain number of Norman spies to Central Asia and Persia, and sent envoys to contact the Timur Empire. When the Mongolian army retreated, Egil believed that these conquered countries and regions would fight against the tyranny of the Mongols. Even if the Mongols could successfully suppress these riots, he would further consume the strength of the Mongols and further reduce Temujin's prestige.
"In this way, Temujin's life is almost over. He has reached his age and has almost done his credit. He has suffered the sins he deserves, and has enjoyed the blessings he deserves... That is, he should die." Egil thought of this, and was fascinated by Lei Ran. Then he smiled bitterly.
"If it weren't for this Black Death... it would be perfect."
The Mongols were powerless, and the Normans were the same. The Mongols suffered heavy losses, but the Normans suffered heavy losses. Even if the Mongols retreated, their strength was still not as good as the Norman Empire. It was absolutely impossible to pursue it. After this Black Death, it was difficult for the Norman Empire to recover. Even in Egil's lifetime, it might not be possible to change his energy. Egil had already made the worst plan, and was dormant for ten or even twenty years after this battle. In the end, it would be almost the same for only one Europe in this life... Looking at the sky.
In the Mongolian army, looking at the fire rising into the sky, suddenly there was a chaotic cry of killing. Alongside Genghis Khan in the distance, all the Mongolian generals changed their faces. Although they didn't know what was going on, it was certain that the current situation was completely different from the way they imagined that they had broken the two fortresses. Soon, the interested Mongolian general also ran over in panic and shouted: "Khan! That Ross envoy killed two guards and ran away!"
After hearing this news, the Mongolian generals looked even worse. It is already possible to judge that they were being tricked this time... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to read the latest chapter list. Your support is my greatest motivation.
