Chapter 63: Varna Variations (5)

The crusaders' semi-arc array echoed each other on both flanks, and in the event of an Ottoman attack, the Chinese army and reserves could be quickly reinforced. Caracha wanted to quickly crush the right flank of the crusaders in a short period of time, and he had to fill it with several times the manpower.

The two sides faced off for half an hour, and the circular depression surrounding the Franka Heights was like a gate to hell, waiting for the martyrs to come.

"Take two thousand more Sudanese guards to Karacha and tell Karacha...... Be sure to open the gap on either side before it gets dark and fix it quickly. ”

Muhammad glanced at the sun, which was already sinking, and knew that if he continued to delay, the Crusader reinforcements would only continue to arrive. Because of this crusade, the Ottoman connection with Wallachia had almost collapsed, and the Crusader supplies could be transported from Hungary through Wallachia to the front.

And his improvised army was inferior to the Crusaders in terms of morale and quality, and if the last numerical superiority faded away, the Ottomans would have uprooted the Crusaders after the war.

On the day of Murad's burial, he swore to his father that he would take revenge by beheading John Valleolo with his own hands! Varna was only the first obstacle to his revenge plans.

"General Karacha, Lord Sultan has commanded that the Crusaders must be inflicted heavy losses before it gets dark!"

Karacha, who was still standing on the heights of Franga observing the enemy's situation, nodded noncommittally.

……

"General Dominic, I have said it countless times, our right flank is the top priority, and we cannot attack hastily!"

"We have the advantage, we have God's protection! Nearly 10,000 knights are ready to go, morale is like a rainbow, is it possible that in this case, we have to wait for the Ottomans to storm our positions? ”

"We must not take the initiative to attack! Such a huge numerical disadvantage will only lead us to be surrounded and then annihilated! And once out of the line, our flanks simply won't have time to support us! ”

The quarrel in the military tent continues, there is no unity within the Cardinal Order, and it seems that the army is the same.

Thessalini and Dominic's tactical views were completely contrary to each other, but because Cesarini had priority in command, Dominic could only reflect his demands through such a quarrel.

Their argument, which lasted for several hours, was suddenly interrupted by the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves.

"Mr. Cesarini! The Ottoman cavalry on the left flank, launched a charge on our positions! ”

Hearing this, Cesarini immediately let go of Dominic, who was grabbed by his neck, and rushed out of the military tent.

Not far away, the Ottoman hooves rushed from the Franka Heights like huge waves, raising a cloud of sand and dust, and launched a charge towards the Crusader line.

"Build a line of defense!"

"Coward! We should attack! ”

Dominic, who was full of shame and anger, suddenly pushed away Cesarini, who was standing outside the door of the military tent, and rode on his horse with a knight's sword.

"Valiant knights, we've endured enough! Now the infidels are attacking us without even knowing it! We should let them know who the real warriors are in this land! ”

"For God!"

Dominic's preaching immediately impressed a large number of young and vigorous Crusader knights, and soon, thousands of Crusader knights were gathered behind Dominic, and the Ottomans had already rushed down the Franga Heights and were forcing their way through the wide plains, and it was the best time for the Crusaders to charge!

"Charge!"

There was a serious split within the Holy See's military regiment, and Thessalini had expected this to happen.

"Immediately go and seek the support of General Hunyadi! The fastest speed! ”

After Cesarini finished ordering his attendants, he immediately gathered the remaining crusaders and set up a relatively strong defensive line on his own high ground, and with the strength of the Ottoman cavalry, forcing the high ground would only bring a large number of casualties.

Dominic, who led the charge, scoffed at Thessalini's defensive strategy, and the terrifying impact of the Crusaders' heavy horses was enough to destroy any front.

As it turned out, there was nothing wrong with his judgment.

When the tip of Dominic's spear, which rushed to the front, came into contact with the armor of the first Ottoman, the offensive and defensive posture was instantly reversed.

The mounted spears of the heavily armed knights did not stop after completing the first wave of killing, they directly discarded the cavalry spears, and with the impact of their horses, they drew their knights' swords and rushed into the crowd of Ottoman cavalry.

Dominic was uninhabited by the Ottoman army, his bright silver armor quickly stained red with blood.

With the coach so powerful, the other knights were also quickly infected.

Slash, slash, thrust!

The full-body cavalry armor made the heavy knights of the Crusaders look comfortable in the crowd, and even some of the knights deployed on the high ground to stabilize the defense line gradually became reluctant to see that the battle situation already had such a huge advantage.

Although this was only the vanguard of the Ottomans, the fact that they were able to win so easily immediately inspired Dominic's knights.

The Ottomans, under the onslaught of the Crusaders, held out for less than five minutes, immediately abandoned their armor and fled in a hurry.

Dominique, under the Franga Heights, seemed to have faintly seen the frightened expression of the Ottoman general Karacha hundreds of meters away.

"Keep charging! Crush their front! ”

However, Karacha stood on the high ground without any emotions.

Half his life, he knew too much about the Crusaders. It is extremely easy for them to be inspired by the advantages in front of them, and it is also extremely easy for them to lose their minds because of small advantages.

Their faith does not make them invulnerable.

"Everyone, attack!"

On the high ground, the main force of the Ottomans' left flank was already ready to move, and after receiving Karacha's order, they immediately drew their weapons and rushed down the high ground.

This is a real iron hoof torrent.

The Ottoman cavalry crisscrossed Anatolia and was definitely not a weak brigade! What's more, their commander, Karacha, is himself an excellent cavalry general.

The Crusaders led by Dominic had just discarded their cavalry spears, and at this time, the height was reversed, and the Ottomans gained the impact bonus from the slope.

Moreover, among the main forces of the left flank of the Ottomans, there were the figures of the Sultan's guards, and their combat effectiveness was definitely not inferior to the mounted knights of the Crusaders. The Ottomans were equipped with chain hammers, which could damage the internal organs of the Crusader knights without having to penetrate the armor.

"Build a front, stand up! Our victory is at hand! ”

Dominic once again brandished his knightly sword and rushed into the torrent of the Ottomans, and his superb combat skills allowed him to harvest the blood of countless infidels again. However, by this time the numerical inferiority of the Crusaders had been fully revealed. The tens of thousands of main forces of the Ottomans, who surrounded and slaughtered the crusaders, did not have the slightest problem.

"Annihilate them all, no need for prisoners!"

After Karacha gave the order, he immediately set out and returned to the camp.
