In a big battle, corpses were everywhere. And it seemed that the Mongolians didn't seem to want to collect corpses for these slaves. However, Egil was very happy to see them like this. It was midsummer now. Although the summer in Moscow was not very strong, the average temperature was only fifteen or sixteen degrees. But it was summer after all. If a plague broke out, some people would see it. The Mongolian army, which was not hygienic, would be wiped out.

Speaking of which, there are indeed precedents in another world. The revenge prince Timur, who was invincible in Central Asia, sent a letter of war to Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty. The army was aimed directly at Hamigu. He hoped to restore the huge territory of the Mongol Empire back then. At that time, the Ming Dynasty had a serious lack of understanding of Timur. He completely regarded it as an ordinary small country, and was the kind of tribute to him. However, the lame man tried his best. The Central Asian Empire's machine was running with all his strength. The 600,000 brave army was waiting for it. If the fight was really started at that time, the final result would not be mentioned. The Ming Dynasty would definitely suffer a great loss at the beginning, at least the Western Regions would definitely fall.

However, at that time, the lame man was full of ambition and the Ming Dynasty was about to be in trouble. A plague suddenly broke out in the army. A major epidemic caused the 200,000 troops of Timur's pioneer to be destroyed. Timur was hit like this and died of illness within two years. The huge empire was destroyed in an instant. The children and grandchildren had to pray for the Ming Dynasty's blessing. They became the first person to come to Beijing to see Zhu Di after Zheng He went to Beijing for his unstandard kneeling posture.

So sometimes history is much more fun than legendary stories.

"Die, die. I'm not afraid of Black Death. At worst, I'll shrink to Scandinavia to hide for a few years. The snow-collar and divine virus bacteria will not survive. When you Mongolians die, the world will still be my own." Egil hummed like this, looking at the corpses and bones everywhere outside the city. The heartless emperor was indifferent. He swung his cloak and pressed the hilt of the sword and went down the city tower.

Egil dared to say this. He said that he had his own calculations. The large fortresses of the Norman Empire were not comparable to those castles built by the nobles in the countryside. It seemed that Frederick and his house had built a restaurant on top and a cesspool below. As a result, the floor of the banquet collapsed. A group of people fell into the cesspool and drowned. Even if they fell into the cesspool and drowned, they would never happen.

The Norman Empire's fortresses were equipped with all kinds of sanitation facilities. The public bathrooms for people to bathe and stone floors, and public toilets that would never collapse even if they were bombarded by Huihui. Every two months, sealed manure transporters and manure deductors would come to clean up. The waste was transported to the suburbs and cultivated land. The clean groundwater sources and water were boiled before drinking. Wash hands before and after meals, use incense to kill lice and fleas, herbs, change clothes once a week, etc.... Such hygiene habits not only ensure that the Norman Empire's military appearance is strict and morale is high, but also minimize the possibility of epidemics in the Norman Empire.

Compared with this, people and animals have been using water sources all their lives and never take a bath. The lice in their hair can play with the story of the pastures...

Forget it, I won't comment on this.

In short, anyway, the Norman Empire, which is in the north and has good hygiene conditions, has a professional medical team and medical system, is not afraid of this. This also made Egil: just cause a plague or something. Just destroy all the Mongols. This idea.

In fact... when Egil just used this matter as a backup plan or simply delusional. In the Middle East, Eastern Rome, which was fighting the Mongol Empire desperately, this situation really happened.

The army of the Mongol Empire began to adjust its strategy. The 100,000 Mongolian troops stationed in Central Asia and Persia, as well as other grassland tribes in Central Asia, also received the order from Genghis Khan. A total of 300,000 troops had begun to be prepared, with the famous Mongolian general Borshu as the commander. The army approached the Middle East and Syria. It was preparing to implement roundabout tactics. After suppressing Syria, it went north to defeat Turkey, or force it to surrender. Then it continued to attack Eastern Rome. The Nadald Strait was covered with water. Xerxes could not stop it back then, and now it naturally could not stop the Mongolian cavalry. Therefore, the Borshu tactic could not be effective.

But now, this is not the focus. The focus is Syria and Damascus. This solid city that was originally the capital of the Egyptian Empire, but was later breached by the Normans and then repaired. Now there is a situation.

After several failed field battles, the Romans decided to change their tactics and tighten their strength into Damascus, Antioch and Aleppo, these solid and important cities, to limit the Mongol cavalry advantage. As a result, the battle in the Middle East entered a new, relatively stable stalemate.

Although it was not as conspicuous as the magnificent battle between the Norman Empire and the Mongol Empire, the magnificent battle surrounding the absolute defense circle of Moscow. Although it was only a war between Mongolia's side divisions and the second-class empire in the east Rome, when it came to the tragic level, the battle surrounding Damascus was not much worse than the battle of Moscow.

Because, in the final analysis, the technical level of Rome is similar to that of Mongolia. Therefore, it is impossible to crush it with its technological strength and equipment level like Egil.

Of course, the Mongols' attack was not smooth either. After all, they were just a partial army. And most of the craftsmen were recruited by Genghis Khan to his side. Therefore, the Mongolian army could only fight in some simple and primitive attack methods with huge casualties.

In addition, the Muslim race with strong folk customs was also in chaos under the notice of the Mongols. Especially after the Mongols arrested civilians and forced the siege of the city according to convention, these indigenous people regarded the Mongols as one of the enemies and devils, and organized rebels to continuously raid the Mongolian army. This led to the great problems of the Mongols' logistics supplies and transportation lines, which also delayed the Mongols' siege of the city.

"Damn - Damn! How can I explain to Da Khan if I do this?!" After attacking Damascus for several consecutive months, they were all cracked by the experienced guard Narcis. The Mongolian general was so timid that Buhua was furious. In addition, the plague began to spread in the army. A few people died, which also reduced the morale of the Mongolian soldiers. In addition, the news that Genghis Khan decided to send Borshu to lead more troops also reached the ears of Buhua.

Like a veteran general like Bolshu, Qie Buhua would never dare to compete with him. As the commander-in-chief of the army, such a good day was coming to an end. All kinds of dissatisfaction and annoying, which made Qie Buhua feel very bad these days. This day, Qie Buhua thought for a long time in the camp. But he didn't think about how to quickly defeat Damascus, a heavily guarded city.

Drive the slaves to attack, siege, cut off the water source, tunnels, gunpowder explodes the city gate, and insiders... a series of strategies were cracked by the famous Eastern Roman general Narcis. This made the timid Buhua lose his mind.

Just as he was depressed, Buhua, who was timid, suddenly heard a noise outside the door, opened the curtain of the camp and shouted, "What's going on?! Why is it so noisy?!" Then he saw a group of soldiers, as if they had seen a ghost, looked at one of them lying on the ground, spitting out a very abnormal foamy pus with blood. And his body and face were swollen, as if they could burst at any time.

"This man... is a plague - why are you still standing there?! Get him away!" Despite his extraordinary cruelty, the terrifying thing about the plague, Buhua still acted as scared as an ordinary person. However, after he yelled several times, the soldiers around him were timid and dared not move. Finally, he called a few slaves and asked them to drag the sick soldier away. I believe that after a while, the man's whole body would turn into a terrifying black and purple, and then die in despair.

"It's really..." Seeing several slaves, under the coercion of Mongolian soldiers, they had to drag the patient away. The timid Buhua Yu's anger was not gone. Then, he came up with a vicious plan.

We Mongolians are afraid of plague. So, aren’t the Romans afraid? When they think of this, Buhua was so timid that he became excited. He immediately called a few soldiers and asked them to find some dead bodies who died of plague.

The Mongolian soldiers, when they heard the orders of their general, were frightened. They stood there and did not dare to move. They said it timidly several times. Seeing that no one understood, they became even more angry. They pulled out their knife and shouted at a soldier: "Are you afraid of the plague? Are you not afraid of me? You go find a dead body, or the plague will not kill you, but if you don't go, I will definitely kill you!"

In this way, under the threat of the timid Buhua, the Mongolian soldiers had to find a few bodies that were killed by the plague. Then, under the command of the timid Buhua, they used only a few stone catapults to throw these things into the city. It has been said before that due to the lack of craftsmen, the siege weapons of this partial division were seriously insufficient. The few stone catapults were not powerful Hui cannons, but simple and primitive lever-type stone catapults barely pieced together by the Mongolian army.

The Romans and the residents of Damascus saw that the other party had lost several corpses inexplicably. At first, they did not take it seriously. They slightly removed the corpses that were smashed to the ground and split into pieces, and did not think much about it. So, the most terrifying monster in the world, who killed countless lives, followed the footsteps of the Mongolian invaders and prepared to step into Europa...

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Egil—at least, for the time being.
