Chapter 32 Minotaur Monster

At that time, although there were insufficient numbers, insufficient weapons, and insufficient physical strength, relying on the pride of the Mongols who conquered half of the old world, the cowardly Buhua thought of not stopping forward and guarding, nor retreating.

Instead, take the initiative to attack.

I was so timid that I didn’t spend a long time going through the battlefield. Soon, I ran to the nearest dune and looked into the distance. After knowing the approximate number of the other party, I came to the conclusion that this battle can be fought!

Although he has an army of 200,000, three times that of his own. However, he is so timid that he has confidence and has achieved the final victory with the courage of the Mongolian soldiers.

So he quickly issued an order to prepare for the soldiers of his army.

A total of 68,000 Mongolian troops were quickly divided into dozens of clusters of different sizes. Under the dispatch of the timid Buhua, the formation was unfolded. The fastest light-carriage cavalry turned toward the two wings of the Eastern Roman army at an extremely fast speed. The Mongolian army on the front was arranged in a relatively neat array, with heavy cavalry in front and light cavalry in the back, and it seemed that they were planning to rush forward.

The Mongolian Legion's reaction was very fast. The opposite Basil II did not respond slowly. At this moment, he was not facing a country with the same Catholic faith, so there was no need to talk about morality. The emperor sent the strongest Minotaur troops in his hands to the front line at the beginning. At the same time, the Seljuk Archers and Vadatari Archers, the two Archers, also spilled out from left to right, and rushed towards the Mongolian cavalry that were detouring towards the two wings of the battlefield.

Use light cavalry to fight against light cavalry, use strong Minotaur warriors to fight against heavy cavalry. In general, Basil II has a good idea. The combat effectiveness of the Roman army is also worthy of recognition.

"What kind of monster is that?!"

Seeing the tall and bloody monster holding up the battle axe in his hand, roaring loudly, and the nostrils wearing bronze nose rings sprayed with a scorching breath. The Mongolian soldiers felt a little uneasy, but they were soon scolded by their own officers.

"Be careful, stay calm! The Great Mongolian army is invincible in the world! Even those monsters are not the opponent of our cavalry!" The timid Buhua shouted loudly. At the same time, the Mongolian cavalry and archery troops holding recurved bows on both wings of the army had already fought against Seljuk, Vadatari, and these Eastern Roman Empire archers. The Mongolian army's horses were fast and fast. Arrows were like meteors and horses like dragons. The combat power and combat experience were much stronger than those of Eastern Roman archers.

Originally, even if the Mongolian army was an upgraded and enhanced version of the nomadic peoples. The Seljuk Turks, due to their long-term fixed life, had gradually deteriorated their ability to ride and shoot. The Vadatari archers, who were recruited from another nomadic people, were also recruited from the Huns. Although their combat effectiveness was not bad, there were some problems with equipment. These archers were equipped with light chain armor, iron helmets, and more heavy equipment. The Hungarian horse breeds were not as good as war horses like Mongolian monsters. Therefore, when the two sides fought, the number of Mongolians was smaller, but they could gain the upper hand.

The Mongols are faster, their formations are looser, and they also have better mobility. Although the formations are scattered, they are inaccessible to command. The military orders are smooth and they cooperate closely. This is incomparable to traditional nomadic cavalry. Speaking of which, when they fought with the Normans before, the elite hussars could already be called modern army, and they were at a disadvantage when they fought against the Mongolian cavalry.

The Norman Cavalry is known as the No. 1 light cavalry in Europe, and even the Norman Cavalry cannot win. There is no need to mention the traditional archer-type Eastern Roman army.

At the beginning, the Eastern Roman generals thought that the other party had the upper hand because of the bow and arrow in their hands. The powerful bow and arrow and the power were everything to the other party. Therefore, as long as you gradually approach and then force the other party to fight with your own side, you will be able to win.

The commander of the Seljuk army on the left wing of the Roman Legion was a mediocre person. However, the commander of the Vadatari army on the right wing of the Roman Legion was a talented person. Yugoslavia was born in Hungary, a Magyar native.

Not to mention the commander, just his command ability, was not bad compared to Buhua, who was timid and arrogant to the Mongols. He quickly gave strong orders and sent commanders to disperse his army, which was even more lenient than the Mongols. Then he launched a charge

Several troops detoured, and several troops attacked head-on. In addition, there were more numbers than the opponent. Soon, part of the Mongol troops were surrounded by Vadatari archers. The two sides launched hand-to-hand combat.

However, in hand-to-hand combat, the Mongolian cavalry holding the Uz steel knife could still steadily suppress the Vadatari archers. In terms of defense,

Although it is slightly worse, the grease-applied leather robe and silk lining are enough for ordinary swords.

In this way, Hung Yati was surprised to find that the direction of the matter was completely different from what he expected. Although he was fighting in hand and having tried his best to suppress his opponent on a tactical level, it was just futile, and it was not so ugly to make his army die.

"These pagans are indeed very powerful..." As the archers and cavalry troops on both wings gradually fell into a hard battle, Basil II's heart sank and ordered the two Roman legions on the flank to form a defensive array. The Roman heavy infantry were closely arranged in a square array, with crossbowmen, archers and javelins interspersed among them, and the lancers were guarding the two wings. Soon, two standard Roman arrays appeared on the two wings of the Eastern Roman legion. This could defend the cavalry array to a large extent, making Basil II feel safe. Even if the light cavalry on both wings were defeated, then his side could have the tricks to deal with it.

On both wings of the battlefield, Mongolian cavalry raging and scattering their strength, which undoubtedly made Basil II upset. However, if it was on the front, those terrifying bullhead monsters, Minotaus, were absolutely invincible. Basil II firmly believed in this. If these Mongolians riding powerful war horses were monsters, then Minotaus was a monster among the monsters. It would be better to use monsters to deal with monsters.

"Go forward and start a charge!" After receiving the message, Minotaurus and the leader of the Minotaur mercenary shouted loudly. The Mistoula, who was leading a team of thousands of people in the front, rushed towards the Mongols like a roller. As a long-time general, Buhua, who had been timid for the rest of his life, quickly judged it. It seemed that even if such an army was arranged in close contact and defense, the final result would be torn to pieces by these terrifying monsters. The only way to fight with them was to be head-on, at least he could think of this.

So, with a timid order, a total of 3,000 Mongolian heavy cavalry rushed towards the Minotaurs in dense formations. Along the way, the earth was also trembling and deafening.

The two armies were like two, twenty, two hundred, two hundred, and two hundred head-on trains. They collided with extremely violent and extremely crazy. Although the Minotaur was rough and thick in flesh, the spear supplemented by gravity acceleration still completely pierced the Minotaur in the front row. Although the Mongolian heavy cavalry was heavily armored and strong in mounts, they were also crushed by the terrifying force of the Minotaur.

The result of this collision was that both sides suffered losses. The Minotaur's vanguard and the Mongolian heavy cavalry vanished almost completely. However, the follow-up troops of both sides continued to charge without hesitation. Stepping on the bodies of their predecessors, they died with the enemy. The ace troops of both sides were severely exhausted in the fierce battle. The commanders of both sides were both bleeding.

However, such a battle, such dynamic, terrifying balance and stalemate were eventually broken. At that time, Minotaurus, the leader of the Mistocratic mercenary who was standing in the front row and charged at the first time, suffered a severe impact at the first moment and was pierced by a spear.

If it was an ordinary Minotaur, even if he had a monster-like physique and suffered such serious damage, he would have only one way to die. However, Minoth Taurus is worthy of being a powerful warrior who was able to defeat Joan of Arc in his heyday. After a short silence, the giant monster exploded again.

It roared angrily, threw down the battle axe in its hand, and broke the front and back of the spear pole inserted in its body with a "click" sound, and then threw it hard towards the front. The huge force directly penetrated the two heavy Mongolian heavy cavalry in heavy armor.

Not counting, there were two more, but there weren't stopping yet!

The broken spear pole, which has no spear head at all, has become a weapon for killing in the hands of such a giant! It can kill multiple enemies with just one throw! It is simply a miracle!

After the throwing, the Minotaur monster was not satisfied. Because of the severe pain and the humiliation of being knocked down by ordinary soldiers, the arrogant and cruel warrior was completely crazy. It roared, waved its arm directly, and smashed it towards a heavy cavalry in front. The cavalry was panicked and raised the shield in his hand to block it, but the solid iron shield could not stop Minotaurus' full-strength attack. The head of the heavy cavalry was pink with his helmet, shield, chest, abdominal crotch, armor and saddle, and the spine of the mount under his crotch.

It was broken. It was like a giant hammer. With one blow, Minotaurus beaten a fully equipped heavy cavalry and his men and horses into scum!

"Monster, monster!" Seeing such a crazy scene, even the cold-blooded Mongolian cavalry felt their hearts and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. Then, another Mongolian heavy cavalry was raised from the horse's back with one hand by Minotaurus, pulled his hands, and tore it into two pieces from bottom to top! Blood and internal organs were poured on Minotaurus' body, and the monster that reflected the face was like a demon... ".
