Kublai Khan finally escaped. When the Norman hussars caught up with him, the Mongols in the camp also noticed something was wrong. The cavalry was dispatched to support. A chaotic fight ensued. The Mongol cavalry retreated with their emperor. Return to the camp and hold on. The Norman hussars were only a thousand-man team, so it was naturally impossible to forcefully attack the camp where hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed. So he returned. Kublai Khan also escaped.
"Tsk, what a pity." At this moment, Egil, who was still directing the artillery troops to advance slowly, groaned and complained after hearing that he had laid a dragnet that did not take Kublai Khan's life. I didn¡¯t think much more about it after that.
"His Majesty the Emperor's state of mind has been tempered for a long time." The Man Empire's vast territory faced the Mongolian Yuan Empire, the overlord of the Far East. How is it possible to accomplish all your efforts in one battle?
Therefore, the Norman artillery here is still roaring continuously, and the Mongolian and Yuan military formations over there have suffered countless casualties. The first thing Kublai Khan, the Mongolian Emperor, did when he returned to the military camp was not to treat his injuries, nor to mobilize his troops and generals to arrange the next combat mission. Instead, he chopped Mr. Wen into pieces with a knife. Cutting this guy alive wouldn't count. The pieces of stinky meat were about to be thrown to the mastiffs to eat them up, and Kublai Khan finally felt relieved.
However, after calming down, the problem came again. What to do next? The Norman Empire's 700,000-strong army was no joke. Looking at the Mongols themselves, there are 40,000 heavy cavalry missing, and the remaining ones are hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, and hundreds of thousands of Central Asian nomadic allies. These are all light cavalry, and the cavalry archers can only harass and deal with the light troops. good. If necessary, you can dismount and use it as an infantryman. However, fighting a tough battle is worse.
After that. It is the Central Plains Han army of more than 200,000 people.
Kublai Khan was in a bit of a dilemma.
If anything, at this moment, these Han troops in his hands have the most combat effectiveness. Although there are not many heavy cavalry. But elite. There are many heavy infantry who can wear two layers of infantry armor. If there is to be a decisive battle head-on, these soldiers must be used as the main force and placed on the front.
But the problem arises. Although it has been in the Central Plains for such a long time. He also learned the culture of the Han people and became emperor. But Kublai Khan was still a Mongolian at heart. What he relies on. They are also all Mongols. He was always wary of the Han people's armed forces. Treat them like cannon fodder. Under such circumstances, the morale of these Han armed forces will naturally not be too high. Although the training level is just okay, the equipment is also good. But we really have to rely on them as the main force to fight tough battles. Of course that's not possible.
Under such circumstances, Kublai Khan no longer had any reason worth staying here. He just wants to leave here with his army. Go back to his Mongolian and Yuan Empire. He is called the emperor behind closed doors. Even if it is destroyed by the Normans a few decades later, it will be destroyed. Anyway, there are still decades of blessings to enjoy. It won't be a loss if you die then.
But the problem is. Can he really leave? Would the Norman Emperor let him go so easily?
Kublai Khan was so troubled that he wanted to write letters several times to negotiate with the Normans. But the only thing, the arrogance from the Borjin Golden Family, made him restrain this idea. In the end, he did not really surrender to Egil. Of course, even if he really gives in and even kneels down to beg Egil to let him go, Egil will happily agree. One by one, he chopped him into pieces.
Three more days passed like this. The artillery of the Man army almost plowed through Kublai Khan's camp. Immediately afterwards, the hussars of the two legions charged, overwhelming the remaining ruins and the panicked Mongolian cavalry. Rushed into Kazan City. The city of Kazan, which had been besieged by the Mongols for more than half a year, also opened its gates. Reinforcements were greeted with loud cheers.
The two hussars regiments each had three riders and carried a lot of military supplies and urgently needed food. It also gave the defenders of Kazan City enough confidence. In this way, it would be impossible for this city to be breached in a short time. Even Marshal Wende, who was assisting this city, was planning whether they could cooperate internally and externally, and in No. When Man's main force fought a decisive battle with the Mongols, he gave him a sharp knife in the back.
Kublai Khan¡¯s military camp is not far from Kazan City. There were cheers in the city of Kazan, but the morale of Kublai Khan's Mongolian and Yuan troops dropped a lot as a result, and it became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Kublai Khan made a decision at this point - retreat! Those infantrymen from the Central Plains and Han Dynasty may all die here. But the nomadic cavalry in Central Asia and the Mongolian cavalry can probably escape a lot. The army is traveling lightly and simply, leaving behind all the food, grass and baggage, so they can definitely escape!
However, while Kublai Khan was thinking this, the hussars of the Norman army drew their bows and arrows at the entrance of his half-broken military camp, and shot an arrow into the book. The decisive battle between the Mongols took about three days. Kublai Khan's heart moved, so he also sent cavalry to return a group of soldiers.The seal of arrows agreed with the Normans' requirements. Secretly, he packed up his equipment and set off to escape three days later.
So, just like that, three days later, there were only more than 200,000 Han armed forces on the Mongolian side on the battlefield. Kublai Khan deceived his Han generals. He said he wanted them to face the enemy head-on, so he led the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry. When the Normans could no longer hold on, he launched an attack from the flanks. Although the Han generals under his command were dissatisfied with this arrangement. But I had no choice but to agree. Unexpectedly, Kublai Khan sold them directly.
That's it, on April 1, 1016 AD, the sky was still cloudy, and it was about to rain, but it turned out to be cloudless. This made the Norman army, which relied heavily on gunpowder weapons, really relaxed. tone. And Emperor Norman had already known this result through the prediction of system authority. However, this does not prevent him from continuing to shout "Destiny" to build momentum for himself.
The Norman army was so powerful that all 300,000 troops were dispatched. However, there were only more than 200,000 Han soldiers listlessly on the front battlefield. The more than 200,000 Mongolian cavalry had already fled - the Norman army originally numbered 700,000, but where were the 400,000 troops? Ha ha ha ha ha¡¡
On the road to the Ural Pass, the Norman army was waiting in full array. They had already set up an array, waiting for the Mongolian soldiers and horses to pass by. Egil stood on the makeshift watchtower, looking over with a telescope, and saw the panic and helpless faces of a group of Mongolian soldiers. I must be extremely scared (To be continued.)
