Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seeing that his strategy was working, Arslan was overjoyed.  Immediately mobilize the army to attack.  He gathered all the camel cavalry together.  Rush in from the front.  The stench from the camels made the Norman horses scream in terror.  At the same time, he holds a scimitar and a spear.  Moorish warriors wearing light chain mail shirts, or piece of armor, or leather armor also shouted the holy name of Allah.  Launched a fierce attack on the Norman camp.

    At this moment, the Norman military camp became extremely chaotic.  Fires broke out in many places, and the billowing smoke obscured the moonlight.  An ordinary army would probably be on the verge of collapse at this time.  However, the Norman army still roared and fought bravely.  If they can find a centurion, they will use the centurion as a unit. If they can find a 100-man unit, they will use the 100-man unit as a unit. If they can find a single person, they will fight alone.  Even in such a difficult situation, he has no intention of giving up.

    The Moorish attack was not as successful as they imagined.  Instead, it encountered great obstacles.  The Norman army fought back vigorously.  Marshal Farr was given enough time to reintegrate these troops.  Amidst the smoke and flames.  The sound of the Norman trumpets was unimpeded.  Therefore, General Fall's order will not fail to be conveyed.  After hearing the horn sound, the Norman soldiers were even more determined.

    As Marshal Farr¡¯s guards gathered their strength, they blew the horns.  The Norman army gradually shrank and concentrated around Marshal Farr.  The super long gun array is mixed with assault infantry tactics, making it impossible for the opponent's light camel cavalry to attack.  Then they used long bows and arrows to massacre the Moorish infantry.

    that's all.  The Normans withstood several Moorish onslaughts.  But he did not suffer many casualties.  On the contrary, the Moors on the attacking side suffered heavy losses.  Morale was devastated.  It was a little bit of joy because of the successful sneak attack.  Now it's completely gone.  Just looking at the corpse lying in front of the Norman super long gun array, I felt cold.

    In the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is huge.  The high temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius during the day, and people may freeze to death at night.  However, the Moors knew that the cold they felt at this moment did not come from the outside air.  But deep inside

    Sultan Arslan went to the front line in person.  Seeing the Normans' super long gun array waiting in full swing.  I couldn't help but sigh secretly.  This is a night attack.  I'm afraid that's the end of it.  If the fight continues, the advantage will not be gained.  On the contrary, it is very likely that you will suffer a loss.

    However, he wanted to leave, but Marshal Farr did the opposite.  He saw that the Moors were demoralized.  My physical strength is also almost worn out.  It was time for our own side to launch a counterattack.  He hated the Moors for having disgraced him.  Where is the other party allowed to escape so easily?  !

    Seeing that the Moors had the intention to retreat.  Marshal Fall immediately changed his tactics.  Turn defense into offense.  The Musketeers and Aegir's Fury Repeater, who had been hiding for a long time, attacked for the first time.  The violent gunshots and dense clusters of arrows completely destroyed the already low morale of the Moors.  Immediately afterwards, the Normans launched a charge.  Soon the Moorish array was overwhelmed.

    In this way, the attacking party quickly became the attacked party.  Thirty thousand Moorish troops abandoned their armor.  Fleeing in embarrassment.  Arslan also died among the rebels in this battle.

    At dawn.  The 30,000 Moorish army lost 80 to 90 percent.  The rest are missing.  The Norman army then attacked the city of Marrakech.  After Arslan's head was shown, the soldiers and civilians in the city panicked.  No decent defense was organized.  Just surrendered.

    So the once-prominent Sultanate of Moldova came to an end.  The Norman emperor immediately established a new province here.  Named province of Morocco.  With Marrakech as its capital.

    In just two months, Sultan Arslan was defeated and died.  The Norman Empire settled one of three battlefields.  This was an unexpected surprise for the emperor.  The one hundred thousand English troops were in vain again.

    After the emperor got the news, he originally wanted to order them to divert to Egypt.  Participate in the battle against the Ilkhanate.  But he is also afraid of General Ers like General Fall.  He didn't wait for the army to pass, and then the battle was completed.  In this way, the troops are transferred here and there, just like a stupid boy.  The emperor thought that no matter how good-tempered those people were, they would be extremely angry.

    Therefore, Egil had a second thought.  He ordered the English army to return home and not go to the battlefield again.  These soldiers may feel disappointed.  But most of them won't be angry.

    In fact, with the continuous expansion of the empire's territory.  Although there are paved roads between various cities that are very suitable for traveling.  There is also a convenient and fast way like sea transportation.  But like England, the army is at the rear.  It will become increasingly rare to reach the easternmost border of the empire to participate in battles.  This is also something that cannot be done.

    ?Perhaps after the empire has been passed down for hundreds of years.  These provinces in the rear will become weak and powerless.  sometimesHou Egil would also think so.  Because these places have not experienced war for a long time.  It¡¯s also difficult to train on the battlefield.  Therefore, folk customs gradually weakened.  After all, steam engines, trains, etc. are difficult to invent in a short time.  So there is nothing we can do about it becoming like this.

    And at the same time.  When the situation in Morocco stabilizes.  General Farr was assigned a new mission by the Emperor.  Sweep the area from the coast of North Africa to Egypt.  Such an easy and simple task at the same time.  In the Suez Canal area.  The Norman army had begun to gather.

    February.  Two hundred thousand troops from four provinces including Flanders.  It's basically in place.  Wait until the end of February.  Strategic materials are fully prepared.  The soldiers gradually recovered and adapted to the Egyptian climate.  after this.  General Ers is ready to launch an attack

    February 26, 1015 AD.  Then one day.  Ilhan Hulagu was still struggling with how to break through the Norman blockade and let his cavalry set foot in Egypt.

    But on this day.  He finally didn't have to worry about this matter.  Because there was no need for him to go there, the Normans had already come on their own initiative

    During the night, the Normans quietly gathered all the warships they could muster.  Then a massive naval bombardment was launched.  After a burst of tremors, a shelling that almost shattered the heaven and earth.  Large numbers of warships rushed towards the north bank of the Suez Canal at top speed, regardless of the possibility of running aground.

    The Norman Empire¡¯s counterattack has officially begun!  ~!
