Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Despite the hatred between the Norman Empire and the Mongol Empire, the reasons for their war can be raised to a very macro, grand strategic perspective.  From the hatred of the country and the family to the interests of the country, to the survival and reproduction of the race and so on.  But specifically in this battle, the Norman Empire's 700,000 troops left Krakow and attacked the city of Kazan.  The reason is very simple.  The Mongols invaded the border and besieged Kazan. Emperor Man led troops to rescue him.

    Although it is said that the ultimate goal of the commanders of both sides, Kublai Khan and Egil, is not the city of Kazan.  Just like during World War I, the Allies and the Entente, people's heads beat out dogs' heads. In fact, it was not because the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary was killed by the Mafia - although the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary was indeed very important.

    However, the direct cause of this battle was indeed the siege of Kazan City.  Of course the city of Kazan is also very important.

    Therefore, the Norman Emperor had a clear intention.  Although he still has thousands of options, he must gain the advantage as quickly as possible, obtain benefits, and deter the enemy.  Then the best option is to lift the siege of Kazan City by the Mongols.  Let this rescue operation be a success.

    Because of the previous activity of the Norman cavalry.  On the prairie, the Normans won a great victory in the battle with the Mongolian cavalry and gained the initiative on the battlefield. The Imperial Army dispatched troops with ease.  There was no need to fear interception, harassment, and harassment by the Mongols. In this way, the emperor had more confidence in the rescue operation in Kazan City.

    The city of Kazan itself is high and deep, with numerous troops.  The Mongols were so anxious that they could not attack.  Coupled with the fact that the Norman army was dispatched and came to rescue, the news had been passed to the entrance through flying pigeons. This made the morale of the defenders of Kazan City high and the preparations became more rigorous.

    Therefore, the current situation is absolutely unfavorable for the Mongols, but it is absolutely beneficial for the Normans.  Even if you don't want to admit it.  But Kublai knew that his chances were actually slim.

    The time was April 2, 1016 AD. Emperor Manchu made a decision to send a group of elite troops to launch an assault on the Mongolian encirclement and break their blockade of Kazan.  Rush into the city of Kazan.  In order to strengthen the defense of Kazan, boost morale and attack the Mongolian army, Egil invested a large number of main troops in this operation. All regular troops were brought out, as well as large numbers of German and Scandinavian troops.  The troops from Asia and Eastern Europe were used as blocking troops to hold back the main force of the Mongols and facilitate the assault troops.

    For this assault, Egil invested a reorganized Norman cavalry regiment, a total of 5,000 elite Norman cavalry, more than 10,000 Finnish light cavalry, and 20,000 Eastern European horse militia and steppe nomadic cavalry.  In total, there are 35,000 of the most elite light cavalry troops. The emperor ensures that this group of cavalry can exert their mobility and impact.  Break the siege of the Mongols.

    Speaking of which, encirclement and counter-encirclement have always been a focus in the history of war, a major competition that tested the capabilities of soldiers on both sides.  The side that is surrounded looks disadvantageous.  But the army that actually surrounded the opponent was in an extremely dangerous position?

    What¡¯s more, today¡¯s situation is complicated.  The Mongols appear to have surrounded the Norman city of Kazan.  But in fact, they were invisibly surrounded by the Norman army and were unable to move.  If one thing goes wrong, the Norman army will blossom in the center and attack from all sides.  In turn, it will cause horrific casualties to the Mongols.  There was no reason for Kublai Khan not to be impatient.  The Mongolian army was on tenterhooks.  Attacking the city was out of the question, but the defense was extremely tight.

    "Tsk, you've made progress." Before the battle, Egil led a group of guard knights to a hill beside the Mongolian military camp to observe the layout of the Mongolian military camp.  It¡¯s better not to look at the impact after convenience ¡â.  After reading it, Egil snorted softly.  Said such a sentence.

    The Mongols lost their nomadic bravery as a result of their Easternization, but they did not gain any benefits at all.  During the Battle of Moscow a few years ago, the Mongolian camps were arranged in a mess. At best, they looked like stars in the sky, but at worst, they looked like gnawed by dogs. The Manchus also took advantage of this, and in the final battle, they spent no time.  With little effort, he stormed into the Mongolian military camp, killing people and setting fire to them.  Hence the great victory.

    But let¡¯s look at it later.  The Mongolian camp was quite different.  The military camp is neat and full of fights. Mongolian warriors and Han soldiers armed with swords and guns patrol back and forth.  There is a hidden secret in it - the Norman emperor followed the path of proving the Tao through force, and did not understand the mysteries of the Tao. He did not know that it contained the Nine Palaces Bagua and Tai Chi Liang Yi Shenma.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But after a little calculation, secretly rehearsed in the mind, how the Mongols would respond after sending troops in, but still couldn't help but make a "thump" sound, and the heart jumped suddenly.

    There are talented people in the Mongolian army, and it is impossible to say that he is a talented person from the Han nationality.  It seems that there will be some changes in this battle.

    While Egil thought this, he snapped his fingers and motioned to Sony next to him.He stepped forward and said to her: "Prepare pen and paper and draw all the terrain and formations here."

    "Yes, Master." Sonia, a former spy and assassin, has been practicing intelligence gathering skills since she was a child. In recent years, she has personally organized the second largest intelligence system in the empire.  Naturally familiar with drawing patterns.  Although the writing is less artistic.  But it's more real.  After hearing what Egil said, she took out the charcoal pen and parchment she had prepared in advance to draw the pattern.  Go back and take a closer look.

    Sonia looked through the telescope for a while and then drew for a while.  However, the Mongolian army is not all fools and it is impossible not to discover these more than 100 people for such a long time.  Sonia was just halfway through painting when she heard a trumpet blast from the Mongolian army.  Then the camp door opened wide, and hundreds of Mongolian light cavalry rushed out first.  Followed by a large number of people.

    Egil has never learned Mongolian, but he still has some understanding of Chinese.  Although they had different accents after thousands of years, they could still tell that they were shouting: "Catch the Norman Emperor." or "Kill the Norman Emperor."

    Egil lowered his head and looked at his extremely gorgeous absolute guardian, shrugged his shoulders, then pulled out the demon sword, rode his horse towards the hundreds of Mongolian cavalry and killed them, and said: "Don't stop, don't worry about me, either.  Let's go after we finish the painting!" Just by the time he spoke, he had already fought his way through the enemy formation single-handedly. Emperor Man was trying his best and killed dozens of Mongolian cavalry in a matter of seconds!  (To be continued
