Chapter 15 Superior Firepower

"If I had known it, I would have prepared more artillery. (Download_WW.." Seeing that his side had always been proud of the firepower, he was suppressed by the Mongols. Emperor Norman's face was gloomy and he felt regretful.

In the past few months, Norman's research institute has not been idle. Founders, artillery designers, senior blacksmiths, alchemists and other talents have worked together to complete the design of the twenty-four-pound standard infantry cannons, and are now working hard to study the twenty-four-pound howitzers, heavy mortars, thirty-six-pound naval cannons and eighteen-pound cavalry cannons. These are more powerful and more effective artillery.

The Royal Cast Cannon Factory in Krakow also rushed to work day and night to speed up casting artillery for military use. This time, Egil came to the Moscow Absolute Defense Circle and brought fifty twenty-four-pound infantry cannons, as well as the twelve-pound long-barrel cannons that had been cast in a number of 100. These cannons were all the artillery that the Norman Empire could take out in a short period of time. Egil placed half of these cannons on the third line of defense in the Absolute Defense Circle, and the other half on the last, which was the strongest line of defense.

Now, according to the information sent from Krakow, the current twenty-four-pound infantry cannons can be cast about 100 pieces every six months. This is the limit of the production of the arsenal. The new batch of artillery will take another two months to produce. It will take several months to transport it from Krakow to Moscow... In this case, it will be almost winter.

When it comes winter, Moscow will turn into ice. The Mongols either retreat obediently or are counterattacked by the Normans. Egil doesn't have to be afraid. There is no need for these artillery... It's so fucking.

Egil was thinking about it at this moment, and he had the idea of ​​"just transporting all the artillery to the second line of defense, and then sending engineers to strengthen it. Fight to the death with the Mongols."

Of course, the idea is just an idea. In the end, this idea is like Artoria is going to fight against the Mongols. It was rejected by Egil.

After all, the other party is a Mongolian.

Just as Egil was thinking, the Mongolian army had gradually approached the wooden fort on the front line. This time, the Norman defenders could not lie behind the city wall and hide. Norman officers and nobles from other vassal states kicked the butts of the crossbowmen one by one, asking them to get up and then shoot at the enemy.

"This won't work." Egil shook his head. Although he was very confident in the army in the computer room, he believed that they could withstand the opponent's attack - but if there were too many casualties, then it would be a bit difficult to deal with when facing the next round of Mongolian army's attack... What's more, the opponent's long-range firepower is also so amazing. If you don't want to have a solution...

Egil thought about it, then turned his head and said to a knight of guards, "Go, raise my flag."

The knights of the personal guards were a little surprised when they heard this - countless military flags in the Norman army. However, there was only one that could be called "my flag" by Egil. As an emperor symbol, he was with him all year round. If the white phoenix flag represents the Norman Empire and Emperor Egil, then that flag represents a famous general, Egil Scadragrimson!

After a moment, on the watchtower at the highest point, a flag embroidered with lifelike snow wolf figures embroidered with the figure of a lifelike snow wolf rose up. The group of Norman soldiers who were forced by noble officers to roar with the roaring stone bullets, the sky-shaking thunder and crossbow guns raised their upper bodies, pulled the bow and shot arrows, and attacked the Mongolian Servant Army, whether it was the regular army or the temporary recruitment of soldiers, after seeing the flag, they all cheered loudly. The fear originally caused by the suppression of the other party's firepower disappeared in an instant.

The flag of the will of Emperor Egil, the flag of the Cang Wolf. Since Egil was just a little lord of Biyad, he followed him invasive legendary flags, which he fought in the south and north, are now erected high again under the powerful oppression of the Mongols.

"The Emperor is with us!" The soldiers roared loudly, pulled the bow and rolled the strings desperately, and shot arrows desperately. They shot at the Mongolian minions, those soldiers who were not very fast.

Mongolian Servant soldiers who have heavy armor defense and enter the pointed wooden donkey or baffle rushing car are not afraid of those bows and arrows with not very accurate and lethality. Even those archers use compound bows and don’t care much about it. Unless they hit the key point, or only have a thin chain armor, or an iron mask-protected face, they cannot cause damage to these heavy soldiers - even the pride of the Norman Empire, it is difficult to fight against this level of heavy armor.

But the crossbow is different. The Norman Empire, the improved pulley crossbow, could penetrate even the light plate armor, not to mention the scale armor or armor equipped by these people. During the march of the Mongolian vassal army, many soldiers were directly penetrated by a crossbow arrow. The terrifying damage caused by mechanical force can instantly kill an enemy in heavy armor.

It can be said that the Norman Empire is the most successful country in the world to use crossbows and this weapon. Although the most elite crossbow soldiers in the Norman Empire, holding Egil's Wrath, have not yet appeared. However, those heavy crossbow soldiers holding pulley crossbows are already scary enough.

The soldiers of the Mongolian Servant Army were very surprised to find that the strong armor on their bodies was like a layer of thin paper or a piece of rag under the power of the opponent's crossbow arrow, and had no defensive effect at all. If the opponent's crossbow arrow hits the key, it can be regarded as killing his own soldiers. Even if the hit is a place where limbs are not the key, the huge force is like a punch coming towards the face, which can make them overturned to the ground. The sharp crossbow arrow will penetrate the limbs and nail themselves to the ground.

In this way, due to panic, excessive tension, muscle contraction, and the layer of armor - this arrow is basically unable to be pulled out. You can only use a sword to cut the shaft first and then deal with it. Such a wounded soldier will not have any combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

At this stage, the Norman Empire won a lot - the opponent was not as fast as the Mongolian cavalry under Subutai in the first battle. They were clumsy and slow heavy infantry - and the worst thing was that they had to bring those siege machines that were clumsy and slower than themselves to the front of the Norman defense line. This gave the Norman soldiers a very good opportunity to shoot the target alive.

A large number of Mongolian minions were killed in this process. The Norman Empire had a lot of supplies. The slow heavy infantry was also easy to shoot. What's more important is Egil's dominance bonus - before that, several other generals were ordinary generals with five-star and six-star battles. After several years of war, Egil's current dominance ability has long been different from the past, and the basic dominance reached 16 points (Legendary General +5, Continental Conqueror +3, Nordic Crazy Wolf +5, natural generals, shameless commanders, and insight into the opportunity +1).

In addition, if the command is determined, the garrison commander +1, the commander of the outstanding corps, the commander of the corps will be controlled by +2, the commander of the outstanding infantry commander, the commander of the infantry +2. The qualified crossbowman commander, the commander of the crossbowman +1. These bonuses have allowed Egil to command the infantry to reach 21 o'clock. The commander of the crossbowman is twenty o'clock.

Such a high dominance point greatly increased the various numerical values ​​of the Norman soldiers, making them more morale, faster movements, better physical strength, higher hit rate, etc.

With Egil in, the combat effectiveness of the Norman Empire's army can be increased by more than twice! In particular, Egil raised his flag, the Holy Emperor's Will flag embroidered with the northern snow wolf. The Norman army was like a chicken blood, screaming and fighting with the Mongols.

As long as the Norman Emperor is still here, this line of defense will not be broken. As long as the emperor's flag is still here, the Norman soldiers will have the courage to fight the enemy. The Norman team, who firmly believed in this, and their allies, blocked the Mongolian servants less than two hundred meters away from the other side, making it difficult for these soldiers to take a step forward!

Moscow's absolute defense circle, the first line of defense is filled with corpses! Originally, the defense of the Norman crossbowmen who broke through with the advantage of the Mongolian cavalry's light cavalry and fast horses became an insurmountable obstacle for the slow-moving Mongolian minions!

"Is that flag... the emperor of the other party?" Seeing the attack of his own army, the Mongolian generals were either anxious, contemptuous, or eager to try. However, only the Mongolian Khan Temujin noticed the flag of the Cangwolf that had just risen and not long after.

"It's also a wolf... and it's young and strong..." Genghis Khan chuckled, and the other party's flag suddenly stirred up his competitive spirit. The Mongolian Khan slapped his thigh and shouted: "Hold my flag up too!"

After Genghis Khan said this, someone immediately ran over and raised the big flag with the Sulu ingot spear! This was the gift given to his favorite son by the omnipotent immortal god when Genghis Khan was born! The symbol of the Mongolian military god!

At that time, after Genghis Khan erected the flag, the marching speed of the Mongolian servants on the opposite side suddenly increased by more than twice. Moreover, their expressions became extremely fierce. Those shot by the arrows no longer cried, but roared, struggling to stand up. An invisible hurricane seemed to have hungry on the battlefield! In this hurricane, the weakest Mongolian soldiers could fight to the end like hungry wolves!
