Chapter 62 Long Spears Like a Forest (Seeking Monthly Pass)

After suffering huge losses, the Mongolian vanguard's proton army finally got rid of the arrows that were like storms. If any of them survived and survived in this desperate battlefield, such a terrifying scene, like a crossbow arrow that stabbed continuously like raindrops, would definitely become the nightmare they feared the most and least willing to face in the middle of the night.

Of course, it's a pity that most people don't have that opportunity.

After getting rid of these crossbow arrows, when the Mongols believed that they could finally break into the enemy formation and kill happily and unrestrainedly, a large number of super spears, like dense forests, appeared in front of them. Between the square arrays of super spears that were cut and chiseled with knives and tofu blocks, there were musketeers holding musketeers, and the Emperor's Rage Crossbowmen holding continuous shooting crossbows. Between the square arrays, there were even more terrifying black holes.

"Shoot!" General Bamamei, wearing tunic leather armor and holding a white ivory mesh gun in the vanguard army, raised his hand and ordered loudly with such a majestic and loud command.

The reason why the Norman Empire was postponed for a while to make better preparations was these heavy and powerful infantry artillery. Originally, Egil wanted to let these artillery bombard him as soon as possible. However, he did not expect that the Mongols were so anxious that the artillery troops had not yet taken their seats, so the Proton Army rushed over. Therefore, they could only fire a round of shotguns.

However, although it is a round of shotgun, its tactical effect is extremely obvious. It is enough for the Norman army.

After General Bamamei gave the order, within 80 meters, the twenty-four-pound infantry cannon suddenly turned into an oversized shotgun. After a roar and smoke, the shotgun was like a fan, and one shot shot would drive more than a dozen proton army heavy cavalry running in the front, like a beehive, with holes and eyes, riddled with holes... Or people with dense phobia would feel extremely uncomfortable when they saw it. It was the kind of numb all over, as if many little bugs were crawling. You can imagine a corpse with a broken armor, a body full of black holes, dark red blood, and a stunned...

A total of thirty twenty-four-pound infantry cannons - the gluttonous feast prepared by Egil for the Mongols began here - thirty heavy cannons fired at once. In an instant, the violent roar made the running Mongolian war horses panic! This is not later generations. In modern times, war horses would specially train fear of guns and cannons, and would not wear earplugs for war horses. Horses were originally a creature with extremely sensitive hearing and unbearable noise. In this moment, taking away the lives of hundreds of Mongolian cavalrymen is not a big deal. The most important thing is the frightening of the other war horses.

After a round of bombing, although the Mongolian Proton Army could not be said to have collapsed, its morale dropped sharply and its charge posture was inevitably interrupted. At the same time, the Norman New Army's continuous crossbows and musketeers also began to shoot, further attacking the Mongolian army in a state of headwind. In this way, the Proton Army almost completely lost its impact. Although it was at least rushing to the front of the Norman Empire array, the forest-like super spear became the biggest obstacle to the Mongols' continued attack.

"The Proton Army is no longer able to do it... the subsequent troops attack." Seeing that in front of the Norman super spear formation, because there was no impact, they could not rush over, so they could only be stabbed helplessly - or push off the horse and were unable to fight again. They were also killed by the Norman assault infantry in the super spear formation, killed by flying axes flying towards them, and shot by the continuous crossbow and arson gun covered by the gun formation... Seeing that the Proton Army was seriously frustrated, the tactic of using this strong soldier to break through the Norman array and defeat it with the opportunity would not work.

Then, in the next battle, we will move into the mode of war of attrition. Fortunately, although the expected goal was not achieved, the charge of the Proton Army still brought some time to the Mongols to expand their formation and respond to the aggressive Norman army in a complete posture.

Because of the actual division, the Mongolian army could no longer fight against the Normans in a whole manner. Although they were unwilling to let Ogedei become the temporary regent and the commander of this battle, it was completely impossible to hand over their army command. Therefore, the formation of the Mongolians was actually divided into three parts. The 400,000 army in the center, that is, its main body was Ogedei's main force. The Persian army in Chagatai was arranged on the left wing, while the Han army in Torre was the right wing.

Such an array arrangement is actually very unscientific. The strength of the backbone and the two wings is not well distributed. The strength of the middle ground with the Mongolian army and the Semu army as the main body is too strong. The strength of the two wings with the Han army and the Persian army as the main body is too weak. Such an arrangement is easy to take advantage of, but this is also impossible.

In comparison, the Norman army was completely different - because the authority of the Central Empire was completely determined and the Norman army also occupied the main body of the army, so Egil could split the troops under his command, no matter which country it was from, and deploy them to the most suitable place.

When the Mongols began to attack, the two wings of the Norman army extended again. On the front of the Norman army, two new army corps were mainly used to guard both sides with well-equipped Norman assault infantry. At the same time, the most powerful knights and royal knights of the Norman army were also arranged on both sides. In addition, there were elite knights provided by other vassal countries and heavy cavalry recruited.

This is the Norman Emperor as a reserve team, preparing to dispatch at critical moments to defeat the Mongol elites.

At the forefront of the two wings of the Norman army were two new army corpses strengthened by crossbow formations. Behind the new army corps are a large number of Norman soldiers. Elite professional Norman infantry, assault infantry and longbowmen square formations, as well as recruited Viking soldiers, forest axe soldiers, English heavy hook and sickle soldiers, Liwanian crossbowmen, and Baltic heavy spear soldiers... The square formations formed by these places are arranged in an interlaced manner, with assault infantry in front, infantry wings, and long-range troops in the center. They cooperate with each other. From a distance, they look like abstract paintings composed of mosaics.

Unlike the array of Mongolians, the Norman army was evenly distributed with the backbone of its wings. There was no obvious weakness.

Just as both sides adjusted their formation, the Mongolian army held up their shields and formed a tight shield wall to block the rain of arrows composed of Norman longbow and heavy crossbow, and pushed forward. On the front, one of the two elite Mongolian forces, the Proton Army, was approaching the brink of collapse.

After discovering the dense array of super-guns, which made their already inconvenient heavy cavalry outfits even more inconvenient, the Proton soldiers jumped off their horseback and began to fight. However, despite this, although their movements were much more flexible, they could block the opponent's attack through shields to increase their chances of survival. However, it was still an almost impossible task to break through the Norman array.

They could push a spear away, but then they would be pierced by more spears; they could work together to sweep the spear and drive a path. But soon, the long-handled axe in the cracks of the spear formation would cut off their necks; they could attack desperately to destroy one layer, or even more spear formations. However, the clearly organized Norman army still had ten groups, and the twenty-square array of spear formations were not destroyed. Such desperate efforts were of no use. They could only be crushed by a little bit by bit by the Norman army, which seemed like a mill.

The super spear troops of the Norman Empire showed an unusual style in this war. The retro Greek and Macedonian super spear square array was strengthened, improved, and added new and medieval elements. Therefore, the elite cast, called the Norman New Army, was the sword that Egil was proud of.

"Damn it! The opponent's gun array is too dense! We cannot break through the Norman formation!" A soldier with scars and messy armored armor roared like this, and launched a charge at the Norman Empire's gun array for the last time. After successfully breaking the two spear heads, he was stabbed into a sieve by more super-long spears.

The Proton Army persisted for a while and then collapsed. This elite army, carrying the endless glory of the Mongol Empire, collapsed in such a shameful way in the first battle after Genghis Khan was gone, and became deserters - they fought with the Normans for only more than two hours, and the 30,000 troops were left.

The remaining Proton soldiers roared and cried, threw away their armor and fled towards the Mongols. The Norman army followed them slowly, maintaining their front under Egil's command, and also advancing towards the Mongols. It was like a group of wild dogs that were beaten hard.

"It's exactly the same as what I thought, exactly the same!!" Seeing the victory achieved by our army, Egil excitedly raised the demon sword in his hand: "Did you see it?! All the soldiers! After Genghis Khan's death, these Mongolians were nothing! We can easily defeat these guys! Hahahahahaha..."

In contrast, the morale of the Mongols decreased again. The Wogedei looked gloomy. With a command, the archers in the main array were asked to shoot the fleeing Proton soldiers and force them to continue turning around and attack.

"What kind of battle is this?! How could the Khan command like this?!"

Seeing those "our own people" pulling their bows and shooting arrows at them, the Proton Army was furious, and some people started to curse like this...
