>On March 4, 1008 AD, the sky was clear and cloudless. The 180,000 Norman United Army, after three days of march, arrived at the northern foot of the Alps.

"Absolutely, if the trip goes smoothly and without illness or disaster, you can cross this mountain in just half a month. Then you can go south to the Holy See." Egil looked up at the snow-capped mountains and said to several German dukes beside him.

Yesterday, he received a letter from the Norman espionage system, with a total of three letters. He said three things: First, Artoria's plan to attack the forest elves of Wales ended in failure again. A total of 40,000 troops went around the Welsh forest for a few rounds. He didn't even find a elves. Instead, he was ambushed several times by the opponent, and he lie on the tree and fired a cold arrow, losing nearly a thousand people. The supply line was often cut off, making the soldiers who were in the suppression miserable. In the end, Artoria had to return to Kanafeng helplessly. This British Kingdom is located in the largest fortress in the Wales region. He is planning the next plan and waiting for supply transportation.

The second news was far away in Eastern Europe, half a month ago. The Mongolian Khan Temujin made a big splash spread out millions of troops. Using the Mongolians' best-known large-scale roundabout encirclement tactics based on cavalry mobility, the centaur army caught off guard, and left hundreds of thousands of Kalmyk troops out of their minds.

Kalmyk's army was not as many soldiers as the Mongolians. There were several groups of troops in Mongolia, but Kalmyk's ability was not. If you attack one of them with all your strength, then the main Mongolian forces, which are equivalent to Kalmyk's army, will follow up on the front and bit the Kalmyk's army tightly. Then, together with the troops on the other sides, attacked continuously from all directions and wiped out the Kalmyk's tribe.

"Then, my father-in-law's response strategy,"...oh?" Egil continued to look. Then he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I really didn't expect it."

Ayujiehan is also a hero who has been through the battlefield for a long time. He knew that his opponent was strong and could not tolerate too much Enkao. So he quickly responded and left a small number of troops to block the enemy Guili. The main force on his side quickly returned westward. With a local numerical advantage, he fought with the Mongolian partial division. As long as two or three Mongolian partial divisions could be solved, the situation would improve.

At first glance, it was another speed competition. But Egil's heart was much faster than Ayujiekhan. He had already seen it. From the beginning, Ayujiekhan lost.

The reason is not very special. It is not that Egir could predict the future. Instead, it clearly stated in this request that Karmek Khan used 40,000 Kuman cavalry as the rear guard and rejected the enemy's main force west of the Ural Mountains.

What Egil sighed was not that the force of 40,000 to 600,000 was worse than that of 15. It was the word "Kurman".

"I really don't know what he thought. He used the Centaur alien identity to accommodate humans as a vassal. He is to suppress people. Once he shows weakness, the other party will have a rebellious intention. When such a powerful enemy invades, it is time to win over these Kumans.

But he took the other party as cannon fodder... Haha, no, when he left, the other party would surrender to the Mongols. Ayujie, Ayujie, you said you, at least you left 10,000, 5,000, and 5,000 soldiers with them. It would be okay to live and die together, or to supervise the team. It would have some effect at least. This is good... If you leave these Kumans as cannon fodder, the other Kumans will inevitably feel sad. When those Kumans surrender, do you think the other Kumans will listen to you well?"

Egil sighed for a while, talking to himself, all laughing at Ayujie. However, in his heart, he said that the Kumans would feel sad when they died. In fact, Egil looked at the Kalmyk Centaur tribe, which had a good relationship with him, and was about to be destroyed by the Mongols. He also felt the same in his heart.

The Kalmyk Centaur tribe is definitely one of the most powerful forces in the world today. Egil asked himself that even if he mobilized all the troops of the entire empire to fight against it, it would not be a sure win. However, at this moment, the Kalmyk Centaurs, under the attack of Mongolia, seemed to be unable to survive this year.

Of course, Egil didn't know this for a while. Less than a day after giving this order, Ayujiehan understood the smell. After thinking through these things, Ayujiehan felt cold sweat at that time. He immediately adjusted his strategy. He dispatched another 10,000 centaur troops to "assist" the Kuman army's rear guard. He also wrote a sincere letter to the Kuman leaders who were responsible for the post-hunting mission. He claimed that they only needed to withstand for a while, do their best, and allow them to make their own decisions and surrender to the Mongols when necessary.

"My dearest friend, most trusted partner and ally. I know that the task I assigned you is so difficult. But I know that no one can do this task except for someone as strong, brave and strong as you. I promise you that you will become a hero on the whole prairie - whether you are killed in this war or not. And your tribe, I will do my best to keep you under your care. And support your direct descendants in inheriting it with absolute attitude.

And if you are lucky enough to survive in this war to the end, then I will give you half of the grasslands controlled by Kalmyk and support you to become the Khan of all the Kumans. This letter from me is evidence. Please keep it. If you think I have any regrets in the future, use it as evidence to prove my crime."

Such a letter that looked very touching, with a very good temptation and reward. To a certain extent, it dispelled the rebelliousness of the Kuman people. Many Kuman heads who had never seen the world and were simply stupid were knocked out by the content of the letter. For a moment, they felt tall and mighty. It seemed that if they had a breath, the Mongolian army of 600,000 was destroyed. Some of the cunning Kuman heads who were disdainful of Ayujie Khan's promise were then scared by the 10,000 centaur army sent by Ayujie. They did not dare to move for the time being.

As for the Kuman leaders who were following him, Ayu and Jahan also called them over several times, either alone or together, and used tricks to calm their originally restless mood.

That's it, because of Ayujiehan's timely remedy, what Egir was worried about did not happen in the end. However, a seed of doubt was secretly sown in the hearts of the Kumans.

The third thing Egil knew was that in Austria, Queen Teresa used her means to eliminate the rebellion.

Although the regent Empress Dowager knew nothing about military strategy, he had considerable talent for political struggles, conspiracies and power play. After several failed attempts to attack, the Empress Dowager changed his method.

On the surface, she recognized the highest status of a rebel noble. At the same time, she expressed her willingness to give up the regent's rights and let the rebel nobles serve as her son, the current regent of the Duke of Austria Frederick. Later, she invited the nobles to come to Vienna and formally handed over the rights.

As a guest general, Attila, the king of Hungary, Hans, the commander of the Norman Polish Southwest Legion, and Chiteng, the second Norman cavalry legion. These senior foreign generals were all "politely" sent out of the border of Austria by her. At the same time, the queen sent letters to Egil, repeatedly assured that this situation was only temporary. At most one month, Austria would return to normal and "replaced under the command of the great Egil."

After the Empress Dowager's envoy repeated the promises and the empress dowager's humble letters several times, plus the Empress Dowager's agreement, and the nobles were willing to bring the army to Vienna. The nobles finally believed her sincerity. They brought more than 10,000 troops and arrived in Vienna unimpeded.

"What a vicious woman." As an equally evil conspirator, Egil basically understood what Queen Dowager Teresa wanted to do. During the day that day, she warmly received every nobleman. She performed a ceremony at noon and handed over the rights to those people. Then, at the dinner party, she put poison that could poison a hundred elephants, and poisoned all the nobles who felt that things had been decided and were not prepared.

Immediately afterwards, the woman used her clever skills to differentiate, lure, deceive and promise, and let the nobles' army either collapse, surrender, or fight against each other. In addition, the entry of the 20,000 troops outside the city of Vienna, the entire rebellion was quelled.

After this incident, Queen Dowager Teresa accumulated enough prestige. She cleverly used such a trick, and her ambition for power also expanded. So she deposed her son Frederick on the grounds that he caused a noble riot. She was crowned as the duchess of Bohemia and Austria.

After a series of dazzling plots, the duchess who took over the two powerful principalities proudly led her army, a total of 30,000 Austrian and Bohemia, ready to join the war between Norman and the Holy See and make greater benefits for herself. At this moment, a reply from Egil to her came to her, with only one sentence in the letter: "Do you think your son Frederick has become your obstacle?" (To be continued)
