Chapter Thirteen
br>When the Mongolian diplomatic mission left sadly from Krakow, it was now a smoky war in the territory of Centaurs, east and west of Ural Mountains, along the Caspian Sea coast!
Unlike the Norman Empire, which was beyond thousands of mountains and rivers, Mongolia was quite afraid of the centaur tribe and the nomadic peoples that were so prosperous, and wanted to get rid of it. Ayujiehan launched the Kalmyk Centaur, and fought in succession with the Mongolian vanguard general and Genghis Khan's hawks and dogs, Subutai, one of the minions of three battles. However, Subutai was nothing, and the more he fought, he became stronger and stronger. The Mongolian army came from all directions to reinforce. Ayujie gradually felt powerless.
"This is just the opponent's vanguard force... and the enemy's main force has not yet appeared. Genghis Khan, the legendary man, would come in with millions of troops... It's really a headache." After a fierce battle, Ayujie felt very tired. He had already felt what kind of opponent they, the Kalmyk Centaurs, are facing now - they occupy most of the Asian continent, and the nomadic life on the grassland, so that they can ignore the wishes of any farming nation and devote themselves to any war with an infinite army.
"What about the infinite enemy... This is really a nightmare." When Ayujiehan thought of this, he felt even more headache.
Of course, this cannot be shown in front of ordinary tribesmen, nor in front of the vassals of the Kumans. On the contrary, Ayujiehan should try his best to hide the news and act indifferent. He wants to laugh, he wants to mock his enemy's weakness - because he has defeated three times in a row. He wants his tribesmen and his vassals to know that the enemies they are facing now are not a big deal. They can easily defeat them, just as before.
"Mongolian? Just a small character." This is the most common sentence Ayujiehan has said to people in recent times.
Of course, Ayujiehan actually did not look down on the Mongols as he showed. He sent his daughter to the Norman Empire for help, which showed his attitude towards the Mongols. It was just...
"What is this? Did I say I sold my daughter to him?!" When the Centaur mission left Krakow and returned to his capital Kazan, Ayujie was very happy to hear that the Normans had helped so many things. Then when asked about his daughter, he heard: "The princess said that she will be a permanent messenger between Centaur and Norman. She will not come back for the time being."
At that time, Ayujiehan was angry and cursed, saying that Egil had kidnapped his daughter and made the whole of Kazan uneasy. But since things have come to this point, Ayujiehan couldn't take care of that much. Calm down and think about it carefully. It would be safer for the daughter to stay there than stay here. For the sake of her daughter's face, the Norman Emperor was also...what was wrong, something was wrong.
At this moment, Ayujie Khan suddenly noticed something was wrong. So he shouted at the messengers: "Say it again - a word is not bad, and I will repeat the passage you said before from the mission to Norman to the return!"
Hearing his Khan's orders so unreasonable, several centaur envoys felt a little confused. But in the end he repeated it. After listening carefully, Ayujie Khan couldn't help but nodded, showing a clear look.
What he noticed was one thing these envoys mentioned twice in a row - in Moscow, the Normans and their vassal Moscow were constantly building their defense system as if they were crazy.
"I have never seen such a terrible scene, my great sweat. I can't count it. During the period from the Moscow coast to our territory, I experienced many walls. Most of the walls were made of wooden buildings, but they looked very solid. In the middle of each wall, there were countless arrow towers, watchtowers, shooting platforms and other fortifications that could not be named.
But they, to be precise, were still dissatisfied with the Norman Emperor. He still insisted on building more fortifications around Moscow.
This is the case when we passed Moscow to Norman, and it is the case when we passed Moscow to return to Kazan.
In addition to these cities, they also strengthened the city defenses of all cities in the Principality of Moscow. Ryazan and Nizhny Novgorod were built into big cities with three thick walls. The capital Moscow was built into a super fortress with five walls, just like a copper and iron wall. The other party kept storing food and military supplies in these cities. It seemed like a big fight."
That's about it. After hearing this, Ayujiehan closed his eyes, nodded, then waved his hand, letting everyone out, leaving him alone in the tent.
"It turns out that the emperor knew about this a long time ago... and he was also preparing to fight the Mongols. This is why he provided me with so many supplies so generously. And Princia is just an excuse... "Ayujiehan muttered to himself, and then suddenly became furious:
"Damn it! That bastard! Did he think I would lose, right?" A Yujie shouted in anger, then kicked the table over.
This roared - if he thought he would win, he would not need to strengthen Moscow's defense in this way.
Ayujiehan, who had fought with Egil, knew how confident or conceited the emperor who seemed to be extremely arrogant. Although he was unwilling to admit it, Ayujiehan confirmed that in Egil's heart, himself, and even the powerful Kalmyk centaur, was not worthy of his exhausted defense like this. Egil was confident that he could defeat Kalmyk in the plains and field battles.
Therefore, such fortifications can only be said to be used to defend against other people. In this world, in this direction, Ayujiehan really couldn't think of anyone else worthy of Egil's guard against.
In other words, Egil believed that the Mongols were stronger than him, and that the Mongol Khan was stronger than him. He believed that he would be defeated in his territory. This made the arrogant Ayujie unable to accept it anyway. Although he could vaguely realize how low his chances of victory were.
But it's still unhappy.
In June 1007, the continental navigation craze was in full swing. Although they did not take the Norman tailboat as soon as possible, many continental countries did not seem to want to wait any longer. It seemed that the Holy See, countries with strong financial resources like the Eastern Roman Empire, had sent long-distance fleets, heading westward and towards the direction of the New World.
"Those ships are all sailboats. And there is no keel structure... Is it really okay to put those things in the Atlantic Ocean?" Egil, who had been dreaming and hoping to make another fortune in selling ships, said a little sour after hearing about these potential customers throwing out the old antiques in their hands.
It was also in June that Kalmyk Centaur Khan Ayujie planned a major battle against the Mongolian vanguard army again. A total of 100,000 centaur soldiers and a huge army of more than 200,000 Kumans defeated Subutai for the fourth time without any suspense, which made the Mongolian general vomit blood. In this battle, the centaur iron armor army formed with 500 heavy full-body armor aided by Egil performed well. At the most critical moment, it defeated the slave Chang Mucang soldiers who were ten times more than him. It tore the opponent's formation apart.
"The bow and arrow will bounce when shooting on it, and the heavy crossbow will only leave a dent when shooting on it. Needless to say, the scimitar and the spear. The iron-headed mace used in close combat will also break. At that time, I saw a Mongolian warrior, one of the most powerful people in my army. He used all his strength, holding a battle axe in both hands and chopped towards a centaur. In the end, he just took a few steps back. The monster then took a step forward, waved a scimitar more than one meter long, and cut off the poor guy's head."
In this time, in a letter to Genghis Khan, Subutai lamented his misfortune like this: "Centaurs are soldiers ten times stronger than humans. Centaurs equipped with this armor are more terrifying than any cavalry I have ever seen. Whether it is the Iron Patu of the Jin Kingdom, the Iron Harrier of the Western Xia, the heavy armored cavalry of the Persians, or even the Qixue Army formed by Khan, you cannot compare with such a terrifying power."
After receiving a letter of help from Subutai, the Mongolian Khan's face was gloomy and sunny. The Mongolian generals looked at him silently, waiting for his orders.
"We, the Mongolian warriors, have all rested enough, right?" Temujin asked.
"Yes, the khans. The boys can't wait to follow you and conquer other countries." Bolshu said softly next to Temujin. And below, his children and grandchildren and their generals also shouted loudly. As long as Temujin gave the order, they would lead their troops to flatten the Kalmyk Centaur tribe.
"Okay!" Seeing the excitement of the crowd below, Genghis Khan slapped his thigh and stood up: "Tell me my order, we gather the army, go north, and kill all the centaurs!!" (To be continued.
