The flanking assaults launched by the Norman Empire were huge. The Norman Knights, who were fully armed, equipped with elite plate armor, were deeply remembered by the Mongols because of the terrifying assaults led by Egil to his Knight Guard.
The Mongols who had seen the power of such super heavy cavalry with their own eyes will never forget them. Their more exaggerated descriptions also made other Mongols who had never seen the Norman heavy knights at that time feel scared. Some of them asked: "Are they stronger than our heavy cavalry?" Then, the Mongols who had seen would say this: "Our cavalry are the most elite and bravest warriors. And theirs are terrifying killing machines!"
In this way, the Mongolians generally have a fear of Norman's heavy-armed knights. It is very rare for the Mongols who are all over the world. They call Norman heavy-armed knights "Iron Man and Iron Horse" - of course, what they don't know is that the Norman Knights they call this are actually only Egil and Artoria, two of these two people, two hundred guard knights. In addition, those guard knights that day would have such power, thanks to the skills that Emperor Norman has enabled. The guard knights who could already be one hundred have reached a higher level.
These things were completely unknown to the Mongols, and what's worse is that because the equipment of the Knights of all levels of Norman were very similar. Therefore, many Mongolian soldiers mistakenly regarded the Norman Knights and Royal Knights who charged in the front as guard knights who could scatter a million troops in the war that day. As for the other 4,000 soldiers who followed the knights that day, they followed the example of the hot spring barrier and ignored them.
Speaking of which, in addition to 300 Sparta, there were also five or six thousand troops from other Greek city-states. Thousands of troops were almost blocking the enemy's large forces for a period of time. So when I thought about it, I was much more decisive and reasonable.
Although I didn't know these things, in order to make my knights look more majestic, Egil still placed all the Norman Knights and the Norman Royal Knights at the front. Behind the elite knights were knights from other countries equipped with chain composite armor or heavy chain armor, or Norman noble cavalry or recruited heavy cavalry. If the knights in the front were not carefully looked at, they were actually very similar to the equipment of the guard knights.
They also equipped their war horses with a full set of heavy plate armor. Except for the slight differences in quality and style, there were not many differences in the rest. Egil also doubted whether the ordinary Mongolians could tell the difference from it.
Of course. Obviously, it cannot.
Therefore, these three thousand secondary heavy cavalry. Because of the different arrays - Egil used a relatively loose formation. He lengthened the array as much as possible and placed the elite knights in front... This tactic. Using such a slightly fraudulent tactic, Norman's Three Thousand Iron Cavalry looked like 3,500 - and even more, the most powerful "Iron Man and Iron Horse" in the Norman Empire!
"It's the Norman! Norman's Iron Man and Iron Horse! Attacking our right wing!" The Mongolians, the Seme Allied forces of the Mongolians, the Han and Persian troops - all the Mongolian soldiers who saw this scene were panicked and shouted loudly. Some tried to resist, some were ready to escape. Most were at a loss and didn't know what they should do.
"seek death!"
Under such circumstances, the Norman Iron Cavalry's wing charge was perfect. In an instant, Tolei's troops on the right wing of Mongolia lost thousands of soldiers and became the scum crushed by the Norman Iron Cavalry!
There was no formation, no morale, and the equipment was not right. The Mongolian right wing seemed to be specially displayed and ravaged by the Norman Iron Cavalry. Just a simple charge caused great damage to the Mongolians. Even Egil was not sure that things were so easy!
"Continue, continue to attack!" Egil shouted excitedly, and at the same time, the horn hand beside him began to blow the horn loudly, and ordered the Norman assault infantry on the right wing to launch a new round of charge.
When the opponent's formation was completely disrupted, the Norman assault infantry attacked very smoothly. These blonde and blue-eyed Nordic Khans laughed wildly, waving the long-handled battle axe in their hands. The flesh and blood killed by Torre's troops, who were hostile to them, flew across the board! The other assault infantry following them were not to be outdone and tried to surpass these tyrants and run to the front line to harvest more lives.
"Stop! Block them! Hurry up!!!" Seeing his array shaking, his eyes thunder were shaking. He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to send out his most precious Mongolian heavy cavalry of ten thousand people - this was the most valuable thing he had obtained from dividing Genghis Khan's property. After sending these troops, Tore felt as uncomfortable as if he had been poached.
However, you have to endure the discomfort! Torre had not wanted to adjust his army to defend against the Normans' attack on the flanks before. Although he was dissatisfied with Ogedei, he also knew the priorities. He knew that the most important thing now was to defeat the Normans - however, he thought so. It did not mean that he could do it! Torre did not have enough talent at all. When he was commanding an army of more than 100,000, most of the cannon fodder troops under his command could not be dispatched like an arm and finger! Some of those mud-legged soldiers couldn't even tell the left and right! Many of them couldn't understand Mongolian language! This made Torre sweat so much that they were in a hurry, but it was useless!
Therefore, in order to avoid the collapse of their army, they eventually dragged down the entire battlefield. The four Mongolian princes had no choice but to put the only army they ordered into the front line. When they were the main force of the backbone, they were also the supervising team - a total of 10,000 Mongolian heavy cavalry, after Torre's order, they were divided into two teams, all of which were 5,000.
One of the teams dismounted and advanced to stabilize the infantry array on the front line. They rode the Norman Empire assault infantry. The other five thousand went around and fought with the Norman Empire's heavy knights. The Norman Empire's tomahawks and the Mongol Empire's heavy mace collided violently, which sounded the prelude of the fierce battle between heavy cavalry.
In this way, Torre fought hard. At least he stabilized the collapse of the army. Although this seemed to be only temporary - Emperor Norman was still constantly dispatching troops to send more heavy knights and assault infantry, strengthening the right wing army and launching more fierce attacks.
"The enemy there is relatively weak, so it is most appropriate to launch an attack there." Egil thought this way, and the speed of dispatching troops was very fast, which was in sharp contrast with the slow reaction of the Mongols.
And the same is true, at the same time, it is also a sharp contrast, which is the fate of the 20,000 heavy cavalry sent by the Mongolians.
The Normans sent three thousand people to attack the opponent's flank, but one-sixth of the Mongols was even less than that, which almost collapsed. On the other side, the Mongols sent 20,000 troops, but they hit the iron plate!
Just like what happened when the Proton Army, which was stronger than them, attacked the front of the Norman Empire. After a rain of arrows composed of heavy crossbowmen and crossbowmen, they collided with the super long spear phalanx that the Norman Empire was proud of. Then they were massacred. The Mongolian generals who led this cavalry were smart and turned around again, preparing to charge again. But the final result was only the addition of more Mongolian corpses shot by Norman crossbowmen.
The Mongols' attack on the Norman flanks ended in a complete failure. The remaining Mongolian heavy cavalry was embarrassingly chased by the No. 3 Hussar Legion, the only remaining Hussars, holding battle axes, warhammers, cavalry crossbows and armor-breaking cones, almost deadly. The last counterattack of Ogedei disappeared and fought to this point. The final outcome was already very obvious. It must have ended with the failure of the Mongols - but the degree of this failure is big or small. It is just a difference between big or small.
However, there is actually no difference. Anyway, it is all failure. For the Mongols who have no foundation and have risen for a while, one failure is enough to bring them back to their original form.
"So, you have to win." Ogedei saw the left wing being suppressed, and the right wing being suppressed was still suppressed. It was so bad that it could not be worse than the battlefield. He bit his lips tightly, and even bite bleeding, but he still felt nothing.
"Send light cavalry, pat light cavalry and go around and harass the other side's wings!!"
At this moment, Ogedei was almost dead as a living horse. Heavy cavalry could not shake the two wings of the Norman Empire, but he was delusional to gain an advantage with the tactics of harassment of light cavalry. Well, the Mongols' light cavalry's cavalry was unparalleled in the world. They also won many victories because of this - but, let's see who their current opponent is? The Normans in this world with the strongest long-range attack methods! Faced with the heavy rain of crossbows, the Mongolian heavy cavalry could not survive, let alone the Mongolian cavalry with weaker defense?!
As for being harassed by archers and blindly pursuing and destroying formations, it would not happen. The Norman army's discipline is the world's number one. The elite under Egil's command will not avoid the sword and fire at the sea of fire with just one order. What's more, just a few archers?!
Therefore, after seeing the other party sending a group of archers, Egil not only did not worry, but instead showed a proud smile: "The skills of the donkey are exhausted."
