Chapter 59 The First Rider in the World

A thrilling decisive battle is about to begin, and the forces of both sides are combined to more than one million! The scale of this battle has completely exceeded any war that Egir participated in in the past years! Emperor Norman was very energetic and felt that this was the most glorious moment in his life. Egir had no doubts about whether he could defeat the Mongols. Without Genghis Khan and his group of old wolves, they were just a group of wild dogs with hair plucked. He would beat him a few sticks if he wanted to.

That's it, but when he really encountered the Mongolian army, Emperor Norman was still very cautious in using his troops.

On April 5, 1010, the Mongol Empire and the Norman Empire, these two huge empires on the east and west sides of the world, ushered in their day of judgment. A battle that determines the fate of mankind is about to begin. The Mongols are nervous and excited, while the Normans are excited. Both sides, from generals to soldiers, are full of thoughts and are filled with emotion. For the sake of the empire and for themselves.

Before the war, the Norman Empire submitted a letter of war to the Mongols with a very graceful manner. The Mongols also chopped the letter of war into sauerkra with the messenger who submitted the letter of war.

Emperor Norman did not think anything was wrong, or on the other hand, Emperor Norman felt that it was the best to do so. He had another crime of a barbaric nomad, and when fighting nomads, he could maintain more superiority - I was a civilized man from a civilized world. My opponent was a group of idiot barbarians in the grass beach sheep pen. When I thought about it this way, Egil would feel very comfortable.

So, it seems that ridiculing your opponent is not as good as being civilized and civilized as you. It seems that most generals will make a choice. Of course, if Emperor Norman is defeated in the end, then there will be another way of interpretation. Even if it is just for this, Emperor Norman has to fight hard.

Although the Mongols cut off the Norman messengers alive at the first time. However, they did not attack the Normans so happily at the first time. They also had to make plans, prepare, and make pre-war mobilizations. They had to send reconnaissance rangers to explore the terrain of the battlefield, set up camps, and... In short, they had to do a lot of things. They were not Genghis Khan, and they could not do all this in a short time. Of course, they could not, nor Egir could.

Although the army carried by Emperor Norman was mostly elite, and they were specially engineered and federation troops to serve, they also needed more supplies, equipment, and other supplies than those of the Mongolians. Therefore, the preparation time required by Egil was similar to that of the Mongols. In addition, Emperor Norman also prepared some "surprises" and prepared them to give them as gifts to the Mongols, so that they would not forget these things even if they were in a few hundred years.

In this way, three more days passed, and Egil had completely recovered from the state he had when he was a few years ago. He didn't know the Mongolian state. He wore gorgeous clothes every day, looked in the mirror, and felt sorry for himself. He was already twenty-six years old... Looking at the sky.

"I remember when I came here, I was a big boy, but now I have one leg crossed the uncle's threshold. Of course, this is nothing important. Even at the age of forty, I still want to have a wine pool and a meat forest, and I am arrogant and lewd..." Egil said to the tall mercury mirror of a man, while his hands were looking like a camera. A "click" sound.

"So, find a painter for me! Ask him to paint my wise and powerful appearance, and then print a million copies!" said the tyrant of the Norman Empire.

On the afternoon of April 6, when all the preparations were completed, Emperor Norman convened a military meeting to formulate, or announce how the war that began tomorrow would proceed.

"It's still like before, with heavy cavalry charge, piercing, and then assaulting infantry further divided and surrounded it, and using such tactics." A few days ago, when Egil used this tactic to extinguish the 100,000 troops behind the Mongols' Palace to ashes, Queen Artoria fell in love with this tactic. So at the beginning, the queen still believed that such tactics should be used to win.

"No, no, Hani. When dealing with enemies that are slightly worse than yourself or are not much different, this tactic can indeed perform very good results. However, if the opponent's troops are several times that of your own, then such tactics will be too dangerous." Egil shook his head and said, "The Mongols like to use maneuverable and flexible tactics to fight, but they are not steady. But I have the most elite light cavalry and the most elite heavy infantry. Whether it is maneuverable or heavy, my army has all. So this battle is definitely my victory."

On April 7, 1010 AD, the Norman Empire continued to advance with a high spirit. Egil sprinkled the emperor's Hussar Legion, the First Hussar Legion, the Second Hussar Legion and the Fourth Hussar Legion. There were a total of four fully-organized Hussar Legion, and 20,000 elite Hussar Legion were divided into twenty teams. Each thousand-man team fought. Egil sprinkled these elite light cavalry on both wings of the battlefield like beans. He asked them to attack the Mongol army in turn.

On the front, more than 300,000 Norman elites slowly advanced. The strong crossbow and long bow opened the way in front. The new army's super spear square formation defended the surroundings. Heavy cavalry overpowered the formation. The Norman Emperor advanced towards the Mongol camp under the guard of the troops.

While the Normans had completed all the preparations they had to make, the Mongols were still quarreling. The three Mongolian princes refused to give in to each other for the final command of the battle. They knew that if the battle was lost, then there was nothing to say. However, if the battle was won, then the person who presided over the battle, regardless of whether he could kill the Norman Emperor, would probably become the new Khan of Mongolia.

The fourth prince Tore, based on the Mongolian traditional "young son guarding the stove" as a reason, believed that he should be the commander. The second prince Chagatai, based on the reason that he was the oldest prince, believed that he should be the commander. But these were all false. In the end, although they were reluctant, the position of this commander still fell on the third prince Ogedei - because he owned half of the Mongolian army alone - wrong, after Shu Chi died, he had already had most of the military strength. And most powerful Mongolian generals supported him - after all, Ogedei was the most capable Mongolian prince they believed.

In this way, Ogedei was recommended to become the regent of the Mongolian Empire. When the new Mongolian Khan was not elected, he was the one who managed all matters of the Mongolian Empire until the new Khan was elected.

When the matter was over, the Mongolian generals and nobles were preparing to celebrate, they heard a noise outside the tent. Mongolian soldiers immediately ran in to report that the Normans sent cavalry to harass them continuously on both wings of the tent. They were talking about the Norman Hussars that Egil had just sent out.

"It's really ridiculous! The other party actually harassed us with light cavalry tactics?!" At that time, Ogedei felt angry and funny when he heard it. So he immediately issued the first order after he served as regent, sending elite Mongolian cavalry and some nomadic cavalry to form corresponding cavalry units to expel the Norman cavalry.

In this way, before the main forces of both sides fought, the outposts of the vanguards of both sides, those light cavalry riding light horses, holding bows and arrows, and scimitars began.

The Normans followed their predetermined tactics, led by light archers and after sowing a rain of arrows, they rode their horses away. This made people want to curse: What are the Parthian tactics you play in the traditional infantry country?!

But that's how it happened. After a rain of arrows, the Norman Hussars continued to move forward. Some threw torches and lit the camp tents, while others were stronger and threw iron cannons and fire pots of heaven. The explosion and flames made the Mongols even more panicked. Of course, these actually did not cause too many deaths and injuries to the Mongols. Soon, the Mongols reacted and lined up the defense of heavy infantry, and the soldiers of the Mongolians and Seme people took bows and arrows and shot at the Norman Hussars.

Then, the Norman Hussars used the classic band-style charge tactics. The Hussars in the front row flattened their light cavalry and charged towards the Mongolian heavy cavalry units, once, then again, again...

The heavy infantry of the Mongolian vassal army, without the support of the Mongolian military god skills, quickly collapsed under the continuous wave of cavalry. The Norman Hussars immediately took back their cavalry - if it could still be used, they then drew out their sabers and massacred them among the Mongolian archers. Then, they stopped in time before the Mongolian reinforcements arrived, and rode away with a blatant laugh.

Seeing the enemy so arrogant, the Mongolian cavalry who had just been dispatched were furious and rushed towards them. They opened their bows and took the arrows, and the Mongolian recurved bow was full of force, and a rain of arrows shot a group of Normans. The Norman Hussars immediately "scamdled" and the array was divided into two halves in the rapid running. A thousand-person team was divided into four hundred-person teams, one left and one right. The remaining two hundred-person teams of light archers continued to run forward, turning around while running. It was also a rain of arrows to return. The Norman Hussars who were divided circled around the two wings of the Mongolian cavalry, and prepared to charge...
