Chapter 67 Victory
The Mongols fled wildly, and Egil was convinced that they still had an army of 400,000 or 500,000 before the collapse. Even this number was still much larger than the Normans. However, with no morale, these troops cried like women and were completely uncombatable. In the end, they were also pursued and massacred by the Normans who were much less than them.
After cooking the Mongolian light cavalry on both sides of the battlefield, the less than 10,000 remaining Hussars also joined this bloody feast. After adding this part of the light cavalry unit, the mobility of the Norman army greatly increased. There were more Mongolians who could chase and kill.
The activities of hunting the Mongols were longer than defeating them on the battlefield. Under Egil's command, the Norman army drove the Mongols directly into their camp, and then continued to pursue them, driving them out-Egil had no time to explore his spoils. He continued to order the pursuit.
The pursuit lasted for five days and five nights in total. Egil did not give the Mongols any chance at all. When they stopped, prepared to rest and reorganize, the Norman Hussars, who were often howling, rushed over. Then another massacre was followed.
During the pursuit, the light cavalry and sabers of these Hussars themselves were broken due to too many stabs and slashes and slashes, and the rolling mouth could not be used. But this was not a problem at all. After the weapons were damaged, they picked up the Mongol equipment, the Mongol spears and scimitars, and continued to massacre the Mongols!
In the end, the battle ended completely on April 12th. After five consecutive days of pursuit, the unshaven and exhausted Egil finally couldn't stand it anymore. The army under his command also reached its limit. In the end, they had to rest and return to Moscow with regrets.
The reason why it is said to be a regret is that Egil was unable to defeat all the royal family of Mongolia. In the final battle, the left wing, which was the first to be blasted, suffered heavy casualties, and Chagatai also died in the chaos when it retreated. What Egil finally got was a corpse that looked similar to meat mud. The originally gorgeous armor and strong body were trampled by thousands of people. There was no sign of it at all. After careful identification by many Mongolian prisoners of war, they dared to confirm that it was the corpse of Chagatai.
And the same is true. Genghis Khan was not immune. In the fire in the Mongolian military camp, his body was burned to coke. He mixed with several other bones and could not tell which one was which one. This made Egil, who was originally a good opponent, wanted to bury him with great difficulty.
But in the end, Egil identified—or determined the body.
"From this perspective, the corpse slightly raised its upper body, as if looking directly at the wreckage of the bow that was originally hung on the wall. So I know that this is the bones of Temujin and Genghis Khan." Egil sighed like this. For Genghis Khan, the man who wanted to continue fighting before his death, Egil responded with sympathy and admiration. He ordered people to carefully restrain his bones. Together with the wreckage of his bow, they put them into the most precious coffin that Egil had prepared for himself. And the Mongolian shaman among the prisoners of war presided over a complete, Mongolian funeral.
Genghis Khan was eventually buried here. In a barren grassland about four hundred kilometers away from Moscow. On his tombstone, Egir ordered people to engrave such an epitaph in Mongolian and Norman:
The man who was about to conquer this world was unfortunately ended here. The failure of the war was not God's will, not his lack of talent - Egil Scadragrimson, Emperor Norman, and Genghis Khan's greatest enemy erected a monument here. Please note that a murderous conqueror was buried here.
On the back of the tombstone, there is a text like this: God’s whip.
In addition, Genghis Khan's eldest son Shuchi, who had been killed in the first round of the Norman war, had two of his four legitimate sons. And two of the only three remaining generals in Mongolia can be confirmed to be dead, Chi Lao Wen and Subutai. The bodies of these two people were also found.
In other words, he still had two legitimate sons alive, Ogedei and Torre. The same is true for the Mongolian general Tsebe. Egil spent a month cleaning up the spoils and checking the battlefield, but still couldn't find their bodies, or something suspected to be their bodies. Of course, Egil could also use his imagination to think that they had died in the belly of a certain snow wolf. Or the body was buried and dropped into a river and fell into a ravine.
But, after all, Egil has to make the worst plan - the three of them are not dead.
Although Egil did not believe that after suffering such a big loss from Norman, they still had the courage to continue attacking their empire. But what if - what - even though the Mongols were seriously injured, they were Mongols after all. A terrifying nation that had been rampant in this world for hundreds of years. As long as they were given some time to recuperate, who could guarantee that they would not make a comeback?
"It seems that Moscow's absolute defense circle still needs to exist. Of course, perhaps it should change its name to 'absolute defense circle'. And the three words Moscow can be thrown away." Egil did not forget that time, the betrayal of the Moscow people.
Of course, in terms of the results, it was the betrayal of the Moscows that allowed Egir to take the gamble and launch a desperate charge. It was also with this opportunity that Egir had the opportunity to defeat the Mongols. Otherwise, the war between Norman and Mongolia would not have ended so easily.
However, Egil would not be grateful to the Moscow people for this. He completely killed Moscow, the Duke of great potential, and completely incorporated the entire Eastern Europe into the control of the Norman Empire. This is also a very attractive thing.
The reason was already there, and the goal was also set. Egil had decided to give these Moscow a big "surprise" to these Moscows after returning to Moscow. Let them know what the outcome would be to anger the Norman Emperor.
However, this matter can be temporarily slowed down. The most important thing now is money, money! It is the spoil! It is the huge spoils that have defeated the Mongols!!
The Mongols robbed most of the world! The Normans robbed the Mongols - although many treasures were lost in the fire. Some of them were also taken away by the Mongolian deserters. But Egil still made a fortune - although only half of the plunder was returned to the public, although Egil suspected that the system was retained when dealing with the discounted spoils - but in the end, those spoils, treasures, physical gold, silver and gold and silver utensils, etc.
These things sold a high price of 30 million Norman Kings! Calculated at the height of Norman's peak, the monthly income of 500,000 yuan would take sixty months, or five years to save so much money! The spoils of this battle are equivalent to the annual income of the Norman Empire in five years!!!
At that time, Norman's logistics troops, officials who specialized in calculating spoils, were busy. In the end, there was no way, and many engineers with excellent mathematical skills were invited to help. It took a total of more than ten days to barely count the number. Looking at the series of numbers, the people involved in the calculation were stunned, not knowing what to say. When the number was sent to Egil, the Norman Emperor also slowed down for a while before he woke up.
"More than 30 million?!" Egil kept chewing on the number. He widened his eyes and looked in disbelief, and finally said something like this: "The most prosperous business in this world is war."
In this way, in May, the Norman army won the victory and returned to Korea. The Mongolian defeated generals fled back to Central Asia. Following the troops of Torre and Ogedei, the total number of people was only 100,000. This made them feel in tears. The original army of millions was dispatched, but one out of ten was eventually left. The Mongolian Khan was killed and even the corpse could not be retrieved... The two brothers hugged their heads and cried, and at the same time they vowed to the sky to retaliate against the Normans!
"This hatred is not just for Ogedei or Torre. It is for all tribes on the entire Mongolian grassland. The Normans are the biggest enemy of Mongolia. The descendants remember it! The hatred between Norman and Mongolia must never be forgotten. Every immortal citizen must spend his whole life to hate the Normans and fight to destroy Norman! Either they die or we die!"
The remaining Mongols among the 100,000 soldiers also swore together with Ogedei and Torre. They must take revenge on the Normans and completely destroy the Normans!
After making a vow, the two brothers cried again. Then they began to discuss. Ogedei took the Mongolians back to Mongolia to recuperate. Torre went to the Jiangnan region to accumulate strength. He also wrote to Borshu and Mu Huali to tell them the situation. He asked them to go back to Mongolia as soon as possible. Even if the plague spreads in Borshu's army, then Mu Huali's Jiangnan army would have hundreds of thousands of people! With such an army, even if Mongolia was seriously injured, it still had its own strength to protect itself...
In this way, a decisive battle between Norman and Mongolia was completely over. Egil was unable to go deep into the prairie to chase and kill the Mongols. The Mongols no longer had the power to expedition thousands of miles to attack the Norman Empire. The two sides will remain peaceful for a period of time, accumulate strength, and wait for the next war... (To be continued)
