Chapter 106 Invincible
Regardless of the actual combat effectiveness of this lineup, (.duka, ) But at least one thing is worthy of recognition - this array is very terrifying. According to the five heavy cavalry arrays that are now set by the Norman Empire standards and are famous for band-type charges. This wide line, those dense and not uniformly dressed, are very messy, and at the same time, raise a lot of dust and make people unable to see clearly, at first glance, the number of Mongolian cavalry is several times greater than their real number.
"Is it possible - do there be 100,000 people on the other side?!" Many Crusaders opened their mouths in extreme shock, like fish that were hypoxic, staring at the Mongolian vanguard army opposite with a stunning look.
At the same time, Qie Dibuhua was also observing his opponents. The experienced Mongolian general only took a moment to find the approximate number of the crusaders. This made him feel very strange - before that, his scouts, the elite Mongolian cavalry of equal experience, had also reconnaissed. The scouts swore and declared to Qie Dibuhua more than once that the opponent's army was between 30,000 and 50,000, which was the same as his Mongolian army.
However, at this moment, what Qin Buhua saw was less than 10,000 people. Moreover, the equipment was mediocre and the formation was chaotic. It was not very good.
"Can it be said that the opponent's main force has left. This group of troops is just their bait?! Or, the opponent used the strategy of using tricks to deliberately expose this army. The main force is still on the periphery and is preparing to raid us in reverse?!"
The timid Buhua is worthy of being the best among the new Mongolian generals. At this moment, he came up with many possibilities and blamed himself for his inattentiveness.
"It's really hateful. I should pay more attention to intelligence work. And I should not arrange the formation like this." While regretting secretly, I issued an order - the light cavalry on both sides dismounted, stood on standby and was on guard. At the same time, the infantry sequence was prepared, and 5,000 infantry were dispatched as the second echelon. I was ready to enter the battlefield at any time - the enemy's main force was mixed with infantry and cavalry. It was impossible to go too fast to detour behind us, so the direction of the opponent's raid was mostly on our own wings. I made such a judgment, which allowed the cavalry on both wings to temporarily stop entering the battlefield and be on guard.
The orders of this Mongolian general made the Mongolian cavalry who were ready to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, and the Central Asian grassland cavalry were greatly disappointed. However, the Mongolian army had extremely strict orders, and the heads of the vassal tribes did not dare to contradict each other, questioned the timid Buhua's order. Although he felt helpless, he still carried out the orders, gathered together with a team of hundreds of people, dismounted his horse and opened his bow, looked out from afar, and was on guard.
The timid and cautiousness of not spending is indeed commendable. However, it seems a bit redundant at this moment. At this moment, the so-called "main force of the Arabs" had already left this battlefield hundreds of kilometers away. It was completely impossible to participate in this battle.
However, the timid Buhua didn't know this - the intelligence work of the Mongolian Khanate was indeed much stronger for the European countries today. Professional spies were mixed in the Mongolian caravans. Every time they arrived, they carefully reconnaissed the terrain, drawn maps, spyed on military information, and even bribed the internal forces. However, compared with the extremely mature, professional, and even a bit bloated spy system of the Norman Empire, they still seemed a bit amateur - they just followed the caravans, or simply disguised themselves as caravans to conduct mobile reconnaissance. Instead of setting up strongholds in important cities and fortresses like the Normans, to regularly transmit messages.
This is the biggest shortcoming of the Mongolian spies. Therefore, the intelligence was so scary that Buhua adopted such a cautious approach to military use.
However, it is enough.
A total of 3,000 fully armed Mongolian heavy-armed lancers, equipped with scales as thick as iron armored paladins, riding a divine Mongolian war horse. Holding a three-meter-long spear, a composite shield, and a heavy mace hanging around her waist. They are extremely classic oriental-style heavy cavalry.
It is worth mentioning here that the war horses they rode were not the short, lightweight, but excellent endurance of the Mongolian horses that Egil thought were short, lightweight, but excellent endurance. It is a brand new one, with excellent values. Whether it is weight-bearing, impact, speed and endurance, they are at the first level. Even comparable to the Norman Wrangler's Horses Wrangler, they are now fully cultivating. It is certain that these Mongolian soldiers riding a war horse that is better than in history will have a stronger destructive power than in history.
A total of 3,000 Mongolian heavy lances were divided into two waves and charged towards the panicked Crusaders. Seeing the roaring Mongolian heavy cavalry coming, the earth was shaking. The Crusaders burst out with strong fighting spirit - knights, cavalry fighting, charge! This is their way of survival! They were trained. After countless years and countless wars - the meaning of their existence is this charge! Either glory, or death!
At this moment, the knights were not shocked by the powerful aura of the Mongols. The idea was that because of the other party's excellence, the knights burst out with a strong fighting spirit.
"Father in the sky! I will die gloriously here!!!" In the front row, a young knight roared, pulling his face armor down. Then he activated the war horse - stabbed the mount under his crotch with the spurs so that the war horse can reach the fastest speed in a short period of time. He took the lead and rushed towards the powerful Mongolian heavy cavalry unit!
Behind him, the equally passionate knights also roared, finishing their last prayer in this life as fast as possible, and then charged towards the Mongols as fast as possible!
"It's very brave... but very stupid." On the opposite side, Buhua frowned. He was surprised and looked at the news that the other party still had the will to fight, and he was slightly respectful. He said such words at the same time.
A collision. A total of 3,000 Mongolian heavy-armed lancers were fighting against less than 200 continental knights, as well as close as a number of knight entourages and employed heavy cavalry. The final result was that Mongolia won a complete victory. It was almost impossible to destroy these crusaders who blocked the road. It was perfect to describe this battle as a destruction and unstoppable force...
After that, we witnessed the sequence of heavy cavalry on our side being defeated by the enemy's chopping melons and vegetables. The morale of the crusading infantry sequence dropped. Many soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt down on the ground and cried loudly. Some of them were also thrown away their armor and fled in a panic. Of course, some believers with firm beliefs and fanatical people tried to fight against the Mongolian Iron Cavalry with their flesh and blood.
In the end, these crusad soldiers with no formation and no equipment were crushed by the Mongolian heavy cavalry like garbage...
The two sides fought for only twenty minutes, and the final result was revealed. The Mongolian army crushed the crusaders without any suspense and defeated them. The total number of crusaders was more than 7,000, and more than half were killed. More than one-third of the captured ones were captured. Only a small number, less than 200 soldiers successfully fled. Of course, what would not be a good thing waiting for them next. The Mongolian army, with a strong light cavalry unit, wanted to chase and hunt them, were simply like a backhand.
That night, the Mongolian army held a celebration banquet. The soldiers were drinking wine, wrestling and shooting archery. Some of the guys who had drunk too much danced with great enthusiasm, while more people laughed and boasted about their bravery and the cowardice of those enemies during the day.
"No effort."
"It's not the opponent of our Mongolian warriors at all!"
"If the enemy is like this, then you might as well occupy the entire Arab world and make them all our slaves!"
"What stupid words are you saying. Of course! Genghis Khan's army is invincible! We must not only conquer the Arabs, but also conquer the Kumen, conquer the Tang Kingdom, and conquer India - we must conquer the whole world!" A veteran who had followed the caravan before, who had been to many places, had a lot of knowledge and gray hair, stood up and shouted like this.
"That's right! Genghis Khan, the Mongols - we will conquer the whole world!" More Mongolian soldiers shouted and cheered, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet higher.
Seeing such a lively scene, the Persian bearded and laughed in his arms, drinking fine wine and eating tender roasted lamb, and the timid Buhua laughed loudly. Until several solemn Mongolian officers ran over and whispered such words in his ear.
"These people are not Arabs, generals. On the contrary, they claim that they are from farther Western countries, specializing in opposing Arabs..."
"... Tell me carefully - no, I'll go over and interrogate these people myself!" The timid Buhua thought for a moment, then pushed the woman in his arms away, stood up and said.
At the same time, while the Mongolian army gradually began to receive more information, the two armies that were barely considered allies but were guarding each other met. The crusaders led by Joan of Arc and the Greek army led by Etius. They had just met. The commanders of both sides decided to take a break and listen to the latest information from each other that they did not know so that they could make further plans.
If - here I take Egil as an example again. If the Norman Emperor exchanged information with Etius at this time, then what Etius could get would be "Hahaha... the form is very good, and the Babylonian residents will welcome the king's army. Brother, go there and have a good time and have a good time." In this way, the fool would not believe it.
However, this time, the one who exchanged information with Etius was the honest and good boy Joan of Arc...
