The crossbow is also angry. Back then, Egil named the latest continuous shooting crossbow of the Norman Empire as Egil's Wrath because of this old saying. Compared to the bow, crossbows are easier to control, easier to aim, and have stronger power. The original disadvantage of slow launch speed was also offset by the new Norman Empire's continuous shooting crossbow. Even if the older pulley heavy crossbow is used, this crossbow uses mechanical force and can be pulled away more effortlessly. Therefore, after accumulating for a period of time, the archer will have a sore arms that cannot be used because of the continuous arch. However, the crossbow can still continue to shoot.

Moreover, with the development of technology, and the opponents encountered by the Norman Empire have become more and more well-equipped. It seems that the longbow of the Mongolian elites who are now hostile to the Normans cannot pierce their double-scaled armor at all. Unless they are very lucky and concentrate their necks and heads, they can effectively kill the enemy. Otherwise, they will only be bounced away by the opponent's thick armor with a "pop".

However, crossbows are different. The horizontal shooting is extremely powerful. The crossbow arrow can easily penetrate two layers or even three thick layers of scale armor, effectively killing elite Mongolian soldiers. Even the smaller continuous shooting crossbow can kill heavily armored enemies within the effective range.

In fact, if it weren't for the cost of continuous shooting crossbows, Egil would have eliminated his army's ability to equip more such excellent weapons. However, each continuous shooting crossbow, including two sets of replacement parts, maintenance tools and special crossbow arrows, would require 150 Norman Kings. Such a high price could not be afforded even a huge country like the Norman Empire. Therefore, before the Norman Empire fought against the Mongols, the Norman army had only 40,000 new army equipped with 2,000 consecutive shooting crossbows.

Two thousand soldiers called the Emperor's Wrathful Crossbowmen were also divided into four parts. Each team of 500 people was divided into four new army corpses on average. They did not form a separate army. Each Emperor's Wrathful Crossbowmen was treated as a treasure by Egil. After rigorous training and testing, it can be said that their combat literacy and training price are no worse than that of a Norman Knight.

Speaking of which, this is the sorrow of the farming nation that has accumulated a little bit of money. The huge family business of Ehuang cannot spend money like Temujin. He has to be careful in his calculations, and sometimes even has to issue seigniorage taxes, which can even cause inflation...

However, this was only a temporary difficulty for this period of time. In addition, after a long battle with the Mongols, Egil's point coupons also accumulated a lot. In order to fight against the Mongols, he consumed a large amount of point coupons. At the average price (because of inflation) of 200 point coupons, he exchanged 2,000 Emperor's Furious Crossbowmen ≤ a total of more than 400,000 points coupons. It is currently the only continuous crossbow-shooting unit that has formed an army. It is assigned to the emperor directly.

Although Egil felt very heartbroken after spending more than 400,000 points at once. However, when he saw these crossbowmen, Egil felt that the money was worth it.

The Mongols were as always. With their powerful cavalry units, they became the side of the attack - a black torrent composed of a total of 30,000 proton troops. With their terrifying aura of swallowing the sky and the earth, they just entered the battlefield and launched a fierce charge towards the Normans! These black cavalry in black-clothed black-clad black armor were like hell ghosts, extremely terrifying!

Egil smiled and looked at them and whispered to another scientific research team that was developing a new type of artillery. Then these people were speechless. The Norman Emperor, who had successfully played the prank, also laughed happily, although as compensation and apologies, the researchers must be given double bonuses...

After the further improvement of the Egil's Wrath of Furious Crossbow, the effective range has been increased from 80 meters to 120 meters. The eight crossbow strings have also been increased to ten, and they can shoot ten times in a row. Within a distance of 120 meters, it is enough to shoot through the heavy chain armor and the corresponding heavy scale armor - although the Mongolian Proton Army is wearing double-sized scale armor, it is difficult to shoot through. However, the larger Mongolian scale armor war horses have only one layer of armor. The Emperor's Wrath of Furious Crossbow soldiers are also aiming at the Mongolian horse racing!

The range of 120 meters. The Mongolian cavalry originally thought that as long as they stomped their feet and galloped, they could not reach the point of a sudden, and even their simple and primitive thinking could not have time to develop any thinking. However, today, it is just such a distance - a distance! The Mongolian Proton Army could only approach slowly. The one in front died a row, and the one behind took a step forward!

The Mongolians were moving forward so hard. If they looked through the sky, they could see the Mongolian cavalry like an ant falling down layer by layer, but as a whole, they were still moving forward like a multicellular animal...

"The other party actually has such a terrifying weapon?" Not far away, among the main Mongolian troops, watching the two thousand Norman crossbowmen blocking the charge of tens of thousands of elite cavalry of Qixue, the Mongolian soldiers took it away!

"No! The opponent will not continue to shoot continuously! And the opponent's shooting speed and lethality are not as strong as we imagined! As long as we persist, as long as we rush over and get involved in melee battles, we will be able to win!!" The Wogedei first sweated coldly, and then discovered such a fact, and shouted loudly to calm the morale of the army.

"But before that, they must have enough morale to maintain that they are so dense and continuous shooting will not collapse..." Ogedei then added another sentence in his heart. Then he slowly pulled out the scimitar to "Khan Eagle" skill and launched it instantly! He had already lost about one-third of the army, which was a heavy loss and had begun to shake the morale of the Proton soldiers who were immediately full! He began to roar and continue to charge! He was getting closer and closer to the Norman array!!

"As a matter of course, it was still too difficult to block the charge of heavy cavalry with barrage in the classical era? So...Markin..." Egil sighed softly, and then heard what Aurora said: "Don't dream." He had to give the next order: "Step the crossbow shooter back while shooting, while the new Army First Legion advances!"
