Chapter 57 Counterattack (moving hearts)

Seeing his strategy work, Arslan was overjoyed and immediately activated the army to launch an attack. He gathered all the camel cavalry and rushed in from the front. The stench of the camel made the Norman war horse scream. At the same time, Moor soldiers holding scimitars, spears, light chain armor shirts, or leather armor, also shouted the holy name of Allah and launched a fierce attack on the Norman camp.

At this moment, the Norman barracks became extremely chaotic. Fires were rising in many places, and thick smoke covered the moonlight. If ordinary troops were probably on the verge of collapse at this time, the Norman troops were still roaring and fighting bravely. If they could find a hundred-man team, they would use the hundred-man team as units, and if they could find one, they would use the ones, and if they could find ones, they would use the ones, and if they could fight alone. Even in such a dilemma, they would have no intention of giving up.

The Moors' offensive was not as successful as they imagined. Instead, they encountered great obstacles. The Norman army's fierce counterattack was given enough time to reorganize the troops. In the thick smoke and flames, the Normans' horn sounds were unimpeded. Therefore, General Fal's orders would not be unable to be conveyed. After hearing the horn sound, the Norman soldiers were even more at ease.

As Marshal Fal's guards gathered their strength and whistled the horns. The Norman army gradually contracted and concentrated around Marshal Fal. The super-spray array mixed with assault infantry tactical men made the opponent's light camel cavalry unable to attack. Then, with the rain of longbows and arrows, they killed Moor infantry on a large scale.

In this way, the Normans suffered several Moors' impacts, but did not suffer much casualties. Instead, the Moors on the attacking side suffered losses and their morale was greatly set. The joy of succeeding in the sneak attack was completely gone. I only looked at the corpse lying in front of the Norman super spear array, and felt cold air rising.

In the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large. The high temperatures of up to 40 degrees during the day may freeze to death by night. However, the Moors knew that the cold they felt at this moment did not come from the outside air, but deep in their hearts...

Sultan Arslan came to the front line in person. Seeing the Normans' super spear array waiting in full force, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. This night attack may end here. If he continues to fight, he will not be able to take advantage of it. Instead, he may suffer a loss.

However, when he wanted to leave, Marshal Far was the opposite. He was so angry that he saw the Moors that he was almost worn out. It was when his side launched a counterattack that he hated the Moors for losing his face. Where could he allow the other party to escape so easily?!

Seeing that the Moors were about to retreat, Marshal Far immediately changed his tactics and turned into offense. The Musketeers and Egil's Wrathful Crossbowmen who had been hiding for a long time made their first attack. The violent gunfire and dense clusters of arrows completely disintegrated the Moors' morale that was not high. Immediately afterwards, the Normans launched a charge and quickly destroyed the Moors' array.

In this way, the originally attacking side soon became the attacking side. The 30,000 Moor army abandoned its armor and fled in a panic. Arslan also died in the chaos in this battle.

At dawn, the 30,000 Moor army lost 80,000% and the rest disappeared. The Norman army immediately attacked the city of Marrakech. After showing Arslan's head, the soldiers and civilians in the city panicked and did not organize any decent defenses. They surrendered in this way.

So the once-sacred Sultanate of Moldova declared its demise. Emperor Norman immediately established a new province here, named the Moroccan province, with Marrakech as its capital.

In just two months, the Sultan of Arsland was defeated and died. One of the three battlefields of the Norman Empire was settled. This was an unexpected surprise for the emperor. The 100,000 English troops went for another useless journey.

After the emperor received the news, he originally wanted to order them to change their way to Egypt and participate in the battle against the Ilkhanate. But he was afraid that General Es would be like General Far. Before the army could pass, he completed the battle. He transferred the army over and was like a fool. The emperor thought that even if those people had a good temper, they would be so angry.

Therefore, Egil thought about it and ordered the English army to return to the country and not go to the battlefield again. In this way, these soldiers might feel disappointed, but most of them would not be angry.

In fact, as the territory of the empire continued to expand, although stone paving roads were built between cities that were very suitable for travel, and there were also convenient and fast methods such as sea transportation. However, like England, the army in the rear was less and less likely to reach the border of the easternmost empire to participate in combat. This was also helpless.

Perhaps after hundreds of years of inheritance of the empire, these provinces in the rear would become weak and powerless. Sometimes Egil would think so. Because these places have not experienced wars for a long time, it is difficult to go to the battlefield to exercise. Therefore, the customs of the people gradually become weak. After all, steam engines, trains, etc. are difficult to invent for a while. So there is nothing to do if you become like this.

At the same time, when the situation in Morocco stabilized, General Far was assigned a new task by the emperor to sweep the North African coast to Egypt. While such a relaxed and simple task, Norman troops had already begun to gather around the Suez Canal.

In February, 200,000 troops from four provinces including Flanders were basically in place. By the end of February, the strategic materials were ready. The soldiers gradually recovered and adapted to the climate in the Egyptian region. After that, General Ershi prepared to launch an attack...

On February 26, 1015, one day, Ilhan Hulagu was still worried about how to break through the Norman blockade and let his cavalry set foot on Egypt.

However, on this day, he finally didn't have to worry about this matter. Because he didn't have to go there, the Normans had already come on their own initiative...

At night, the Normans quietly concentrated all the warships they could gather together. Then they launched a massive bombardment of ships. After a storm of mountains and earth, the shelling that almost broke the world. A large number of warships rushed towards the north bank of the Suez Canal at the fastest speed, regardless of the possibility of stranding.

The Norman Empire's counterattack has officially begun...!~!
