"But...but-**" Although General Joseph also knew that the most correct tactic should be done now. He threw away those insignificant fortresses that were guarding miscellaneous troops. At the same time, he sacrificed two hussars of thousands of people. He fought with the enemy little by little. After all, his own side was the garrison, and now it seems that the attack ability of these nomadic peoples is indeed very poor. He has lost tens of thousands of troops at this moment. In addition to the slave troops that had died before, the Mongols lost 50,000 troops.

And what did they gain? Three strategically meaningless, civil structure fortresses that were about to explode into the sky.

This transaction was simply too cost-effective - except for the two thousand Hussars. Speaking of which, General Joseph originally thought that these Mongols would be defeated under the impact of their own hard-blooded hussars like ordinary nomads. Then they were one-sided slaughter. But the matter was obvious, different from what he imagined.

These people are even more fierce and strong and good at fighting than ordinary nomads. The difference is that they are more disciplined. Although they are even worse than professional troops like the Hussars of the Norman Empire, their discipline has surpassed the vast majority of the armies of most empires in the world today.

It can be said that this is a miracle in military history. Only military geniuses like Genghis Khan can do it. These nomadic cavalry, who are naturally scammers, can be trained into a disciplined army. This is their ability! It is incomparable to scumbags like Egil who cheat on the system.

"Then...this is the only way.**" At this moment, after half a day of shooting, the artillery of the Norman Empire had overheated and would explode if it was shot. Therefore, the Norman artillery, which originally scared the Mongols the most, stopped roaring. Other large weapons such as stone casters and city defense crossbows were also worn out due to continuous launch. The bowstrings of two city defense crossbows suddenly broke, hurting the arms of several engineers. These equipment needed to be inspected and replaced before they could continue to be used. The continuous shooting also caused the bowstrings to be worn seriously, and many accessories for pulley crossbows also needed to be replaced...

In this way, the Norman Empire's long-range support was reduced by half at that time. The Mongolian army's offensive became even more arrogant. The Mongolian heavy cavalry who stood strong were much stronger than the ordinary Mongolian soldiers in terms of tactics. They formed a group of dozens of people to form a dense array cluster to charge. They continued to continue. After the charge failed, they circled to both sides and retreated, and the soldiers behind rushed up. They repeated it ten times and dozens of times in a row, making the Norman's defense line shaking. It seemed that they were about to collapse soon.

Gradually, with the attacks of Mongolian soldiers like storms, the Norman soldiers were shaking and morale became lower and lower. Some tactics, if ordinary Mongolian soldiers were used, would be useless. But if those Mongolian heavy cavalry were used, it would be a bit amazing.

For example, those ordinary Mongolian soldiers rushed forward regardless of the situation, trying to break through the defense line arranged by the Norman army's shield spearmen. The final result was basically that more than a dozen transparent holes were pierced.

However, if this tactic is used on Mongolian heavy cavalry, the situation will be very different. These heavy soldiers wearing two layers of heavy scale armor can resist attacks to a large extent. Neither the Mukang bayonet slashing, it does not work much. The battle axe in the Norman infantry's hands are useful, but the number of Norman infantry is only one-tenth of the Mongolian heavy cavalry, or even less than one-tenth of them.

If they were dispersed, the effect would probably be worse. So the remaining dozens of Norman infantry were basically concentrated to form an emergency force, and to help wherever there was a crisis.

In this way, the Mongolian heavy cavalry kept charging like madmen. They were able to break through the array defense line composed of the Normans while ensuring their survival. The shield spearmen who lost their formation fought with heavy infantrymen holding scimitars and maces. The final result was self-evident. That's it. Norman infantry had to respond more and more and more and more. The number was getting smaller and smaller...

Finally, in a scream, among the three southern forts, the middle one could not hold on. The Norman Empire's defense line was finally completely torn apart. A large number of Mongolians shouted wildly, rushing towards the broken Norman Empire array, and encircled the remnants of the Norman army. Then massacred...

"It's now! **" Seeing that his army was completely suppressed, the war loss ratio was as high as 20 to 1. A spy who had been lurking among the Norman militia gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. When no one noticed it, he turned around and slipped away, ran to an open space next to the barracks, opened the floating soil used as a cover, and then opened the secret door. He jumped into the shoddy underground secret room underground. He took out the flint. Then he poked his head out like a groundhog, watching his soldiers being suppressed and fell one by one, and finally collapsed when only two hundred people were left...

"It's time." The spy sighed secretly, retracted, ran to the pile of ** buckets, rubbed the fuses, and lit the fuse.

"Long live His Majesty Egil Scadragrimson!!!"

Accompanied by the Norman spy's shout, the fuse "Silk**" and "Silk**" kept burning forward, and finally arrived at the powder barrel. After the war, there was a deafening sound of life! The "Boom!!!" sound seemed to be like the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed!

After this explosion, the other two attacked fortresses around, and even other wooden forts further away, as well as the two large forts - the Norman soldiers and the Mongols, both enemies and us, were completely stupid!

The relatively strong fortress built with original native structures, after detonating hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder underground, was already like a piece of paper, and all collapsed and collapsed. The mounds built by the Mongols in order to attack the attack also turned into flat ground again in the explosion. The Mongolian soldiers who advanced forward and the more than 200 remaining soldiers in Norman were all killed in the explosion. Those who were lucky, those who were a little far away could leave Hulun's corpse or something. Those who were unlucky and who were too close to the explosion site were directly blown into pieces!

Seeing that the Norman army was so decisive, it detonated the city's throne when the city was about to fall, and died with its own side. Even if the Mongols were crazy, they had a three-point hesitation. The Norman soldiers were even more afraid - they didn't know in advance that this was the case. When was the city buried by people?! Is it the only one city buried, or is it all buried in other fortresses?! Died under this thing, and they couldn't even keep the body. What should I do?! I can only work hard.

In this way, the Mongolian army began to hesitate whether to retreat under the fear of death. The Normans also had to fight desperately under the fear of death. As one went on and the other disappeared, the situation on the front line fell into a stalemate again.

On the other side, on the front of the battlefield, the Norman Hussars had been divided and surrounded by Mongolian heavy cavalry. Although they still struggled to resist, it seemed that the defeat was decided and they were powerless to make the situation come true.

Originally, with a similar combat power, it would be a bit unreliable to use light cavalry to fight heavy cavalry.

The advantage of the front battlefield makes Subutai look a little better. Look at the other side, after the fortress exploded, the Mongolian soldiers hesitated and did not want to attack again. Look at the sky, the sun was about to set. Whether they were tired or hungry, they were scared by the scene of the gunpowder explosion just now. In short, the war on this day was aborted. He did not achieve his strategic goal at all. If you insist on it, it can only be said that one-twentieth was achieved.

"Retreat.**" waited for a while. Seeing that there was still no turning point on the battlefield, the Mongolian infantry still did not dare to continue to attack the city, and the Mongolian cavalry could not wipe out all the Norman cavalry for a while. Subutai had to sigh secretly, waved his hand, and gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction, and said this word.

Immediately afterwards, the guards around him raised their hands and blew the horns. After a long horn sound, the Mongolians who were fighting breathed a sigh of relief and began to retreat. The heavy cavalry left the Hussars who were fighting with them. They were originally taking the upper hand. So they easily asked the Normans to entangle. The Mongols who were sieging the city were not that simple. Those who were running in front could find a horse. Those who were behind could only run by two legs.

At this moment, the Norman Empire's long-range projection power was restored a lot. A fire of crossbow shots killed many Mongolians.

When the Norman soldiers watched the Mongols retreat, they looked at the sky, they mostly understood. Although some officers proposed to attack and pursue, several generals shook their heads and refused these proposals. At the same time, they ordered less than a thousand remaining Hussars to return. The attacked camps also needed to reorganize defenses. After dark, they passed the secret door to switch the soldiers who had fought for a day to rest in the fortress barracks, and exchanged the new forces in the fortress barracks.

Engineers, baggage soldiers, and local recruits (free) have more important things to do. They have to use torches, repair the fortifications while it is dark, and level the soil slopes. Then dig some shoddy traps and other things again... (To be continued.
