In order to ensure sufficient physical strength to deal with the war that followed, Egil did not act in a dishonest manner that night, nor did he do anything he liked to do. So he woke up and got up and put on his clothes. Then he walked out and took a piece of bread and a piece of bacon from a team of thousands of people. Then he ate while walking and chatted with the passing officers and soldiers to show that he was close to the soldiers.

Although it was summer, in this area of ​​Moscow, the morning wind blew on his body, which still made people feel cool. Egil was wearing a white fox fur, which was very conspicuous among the soldiers. So there were constant soldiers. After seeing him here, they came over to say hello to him, and he responded one by one. It was simple, but solemnly praised a few words. In this way, the soldiers were excited and cheered in a very short period of time, and thus encouraged morale.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Norman Empire were eating, and the Mongols were also eating there. Unlike the various types of foods in the Norman Empire, the Mongolian recipes were meat, roasted lamb, roasted lamb, roasted lamb... At most, I brought a bag of horse milk wine to drink. From ordinary Mongolian soldiers to Temujin, all of them were this configuration. At most, the lamb was tenderer, the salt sprinkled on was thinner, and the sprinkled with more spices. Basically, that's it.

The soldiers of the Mongolian army live by eating such things. They are completely carnivorous animals.

In this way, both sides, two armies - say they are armies, are actually in sizes of tens of millions. On the Norman Empire, there are many fortresses, and it is impossible to call them cities. On the Mongolian side, there are countless yurts. From a distance, there are snow-white tents that can be seen at a glance. If there are too many, no matter what you do, it will look spectacular. Even if you eat, the same is true. On the Mongolian side, the Norman Empire, both sides are covered with smoke, and at first glance, it is a large area of ​​smoke. From afar, the military formations between the two sides are separated by five or six miles. You can also clearly see them.

Seeing that the other party was mostly smoke rising from burning cow dung cakes, Egil sighed a little: "Did these Mongolians move all the entire tribe here?"

And over there, the Mongolian soldiers were also very surprised to see the smoke from the Norman Empire: "Did the other country pile all their people in this city?"

In this way, the soldiers on both sides sighed with a full meal. Then, under the command of their respective officers, they prepared and put on their armor. Those who had no tasks for the time being started this day's training. Those who were about to go to the battlefield were highly nervous and extremely alert.

As the sun gradually rose and the temperature gradually rose, Egil brought Artoria and other generals together to the highest watchtower. Looking away from each other, a unit of the Mongolian Empire slowly moved forward. He carefully distinguished what kind of person was commanding the elite of this army.

In terms of equipment, these soldiers seemed to be not much different from the Mongolian vassals yesterday. They were also well-made double-layer heavy scales. The weapons in their hands changed slightly, including large shields and heavy maces. Unlike the previous Mongolian vassals, these soldiers had high morale and were eager to try. Sometimes, they would stick out their scarlet tongues and lick their cracked lips. Their eyes were flashing like wild wolfs.

These people are definitely Mongolians - even if they are not Mongolians, they are also the elites of the nomadic peoples that have formed an alliance with Mongolia. Their fighting will be incomparable to those forced and low-level servants who had previously been forced and had low social status. It seems that today will be another hard battle.

"The number of the other party is 50,000 in total. If they are all Mongolian elites, this would be a little scary." Egil thought to himself:

According to information, after Temujin unified the entire Mongolian tribe, he had a total of 300,000 tents. Mongolian soldiers were more than 500,000. After twenty years of growth and reproduction, Mongolia's power became increasingly powerful and life was getting better and better. In this generation of reproduction, the number of people who can fight may be increased by half.

What this information says is consistent. Now, Mongolia has 800,000 young and strong people. These people can be said to be the core of the Mongolian army.

The wars with the Jin and Liao countries before conquering Persia and Han countries did not seem to have consumed too much of Mongolia's manpower. On the contrary, in these wars, the Mongolian soldiers plundered a large amount of wealth. More importantly, they obtained a large number of slaves. They asked these slaves to serve their cattle, sheep, horses and live. In this way, a considerable number of these Mongolians left production and became slave owners. They had more time to exercise their horsemanship and martial arts. These people were the elite troops of Mongolia - they had about 200,000. They were all the most elite cavalry and the most fierce warriors.

In addition to these core Mongolian troops, the Mongol Empire also had a large number of troops composed of other ethnic groups. One of them was the cavalry and shooting troops recruited from the grassland peoples conquered by the Mongol Empire from Central Asia, Kazakhstan, etc. These people were called Seme people by the Mongols. Speaking of which, Norman soldiers such as Egir can also be called Seme people.

The combat effectiveness, cavalry and bows and arrows of these grassland peoples are certainly not as good as the elite of the Mongols. However, they can also reach the average level of ordinary nomadic peoples. Moreover, their number is not less than that of the Mongols. Kazakhs, Kyrgyzstans, Uzbeks, these nomadic peoples, plus the newly conquered Kumans of the Mongols. If these nomadic peoples are mobilized in a total of one can summon millions of troops.

These grassland nations formed the core of the Mongolian Empire. Among them, the elite troops were the Qixue Army, these elite troops composed of descendants of Mongolian meritorious nobles, as well as the Proton Army, and these elite troops composed of descendants of foreign vassal nobles.

In addition to these elite cavalry and shooting troops, the Mongolian army is not short of high-quality infantry. Among them, the elite heavy infantry and crossbowmen are composed mainly of soldiers from northern Han people and other ethnic minorities. The number of elite heavy infantry troops and crossbowmen is the largest. Similar to yesterday, the heavy infantry army led by Guo Kan can also have more than 100,000. There are more light infantrymen without armor. As for the slaves recruited, there are countless outrageous numbers.

Fortunately, not all of these troops gathered in front of Moscow's absolute defense circle - of course, if Temu really did this, the Mongol Empire would have collapsed long ago.

Today, although the Mongolian Empire has a million soldiers in the absolute defense circle of Moscow, most of them are grassland nomadic troops. These people, some even the entire tribe, have come here. They lead cattle and sheep, wives and children... and do not require much logistical support. And those slaves are extremely miserable and seriously malnutrition and serious food shortage. Therefore, so many Mongolian troops can maintain it.

Otherwise, according to intelligence, the Mongol Empire organized at least 300,000 Mongolian troops this time, and its nomadic allies also had 300,000. And the Kuman army that defected to the Mongols also had at least 200,000. In this way, the nomadic army with its own logistics skills had 800,000.

The infantry troops from the Han area, the elite troops provided by these farming peoples were 100,000, while the general ones were 200,000. The Persians were slightly less, only 100,000. These troops were 400,000. The number of slave troops recruited from other places exceeded 500,000.

In this way, the Mongolian army gathered more than 1.7 million troops on the periphery of the Moscow absolute defense circle. This terrifying number is not the entire army owned by the Mongolian Empire.

In the south and the Middle East, the Mongolian army gathered 100,000 Mongolian troops as the vanguard troops for attacking Syria. In the newly conquered Central Asia, the Mongols still had 50,000 Mongolian troops as occupying troops and follow-up troops for attacking Syria. In addition to these 100,000 Mongolian troops, there were also 100,000 minion troops recruited from Persia, with a number of 100,000 servants.

On the Mongolian Plateau, the Mongolian army can still conscript 50,000 troops. In Kazakhstan and other areas, more than 100,000 troops can also be conscripted. In the Han area of ​​the Central Plains, there are 50,000 Mongolian troops, 100,000 Han servants in the northern part. In the Jiangnan area, there are 50,000 Mongolian troops and 300,000 Han servants in the Han area.

In this way, these armies with a population of more than 2.6 million are the absolute strength of this powerful and terrifying empire. They are twice as many armies than the Norman Empire. Just thinking about it a little bit scary.

These garrisons are mainly used to stabilize the situation in the conquered areas, suppress the rebellion of the conquered nations, or to wipe out the warlords and bandits in the rebellion of the local warlords and bandits. Especially in the Central Plains. After being conquered by the Mongols, riots continued to occur one after another, which made the Mongols quite distressed. Although many large-scale massacres had been organized, people still stood up to resist. The Mongols still did not transition from the role of conquerors to the level of rulers. They were still exploring how to rule these areas and these nations.

From now on, their means of rule were extremely primitive. They completely regarded the conquered nations as slaves. They even wanted to grazle all these areas as pastures. After all, although such surprising achievements were achieved for a while, the Mongols were still just a group of pathetic, culturally uncultured nomadic peoples. They lacked wisdom and methods to manage their country. Next, problems will continue to emerge, dragging down this powerful military empire.

"I hope this is the case. I just don't know if I can see this day." Egil finally stopped thinking and sighed like this. At this moment, the Mongolian troops also began to attack like yesterday...
