The victory of the left was an encouragement to the Romans, and if a mediocre man like Caesar could easily win, why couldn't I have done better?

Alexios, who had been warned by the blind old Nikephoros Brenus, had a little drum in his heart, and at this time he also began to doubt the true strength of the Scythians - the cavalry of these herdsmen was nothing more than that, could the infantry in that chariot battalion be able to use their arms as chariots? Who had heard that the Romans could not defeat a group of steppe infantry?

Out of an abundance of caution, the Emperor did not take the whole army on board, but sent his most proud elite, the Janissary Commander Nabitus, who was still forbidden by him, but the five hundred Varangian guards, the most dazzling of the whole army, finally appeared, marched neatly through the salty battlefield, scattered in the piles of horse corpses, and reorganized themselves under the orders of the interpreter, and the weeping horns immediately sounded through the four fields.

Aldrik the Jute wielded a Norman shield and cautiously observed the battlefield through his iron helmet, alerting archers who might appear in any direction. He joined the rebuilt Varangian Guard after Dirakium, but failed to make it to the Battle of Larissa, where the war with the Scythians was the best opportunity to win merit and reward.

"Shield Wall!" Audrick's ears were covered by braids and a helmet, and he couldn't help but curse in Anglo when he heard a dull military order.

The Scythians gathered on the flanks of the Norse shield wall, and iron horses and arrows flew and ravaged the battle formation, as if they wanted to knock open the shell of the northerners with their horse and archery skills.

The armor of the Norsemen is all finely made, and there are long axes and thick shields, although the nomadic cavalry surrounds the vertical and horizontal, after all, they dare not get too close, the bow is weak, and the arrows cannot penetrate, so they have dismounted to change the strong bow and long arrows to fight.

Angus's Latin cavalry was at this time behind the right flank of the Nordic Guard, and when they saw this opportunity, they wanted to attack, but Andreano, the commander of the Western Janissaries, was nearby, as if he saw that his subordinates were about to move, and directly called a eunuch to reiterate the emperor's military order.

"Heavy troops are not allowed to go out without military orders!"

Andreano didn't seem to worry about the Varangian guard's surprise siege, and after subduing his army, he seemed to be wandering into the world.

At this time, the right flank of the shield wall was shot into formation, and the Scythians had already tried to charge the formation, and about 1,000 iron horsemen came forward with spears and repeatedly hit the shield array.

The five hundred Praetorian Guards did not move, and the long-handled axes engraved with runes were clustered into a clump of iron, blocking the cavalry's eyes.

The Seljuk general Zhuoshi, who had just lost face, couldn't help laughing when he saw this, although there were many Scythian cavalry, the military discipline was far less strict than his Guram, although there was a tendency to encircle, but it could not be collided at the moment, and finally could only be disbanded in front of the giant axe and long shield, and the front and back were chaotic, and the blood of the people who entered the battle was spilled in the air, and the latter's horse's hooves were raised forward, and they were slashed and stabbed by the battle axe, even if they stepped on the shield, it was difficult to penetrate the formation.

"Barbarians are barbarians after all......" The Seljuks could not help but sigh, in the past he also followed Maliksha in the civil war, and at that time, the Seljuk Central Army also crushed countless Turkmen cavalry with impure blood, ending the ambitions of the Sultan's uncle.

Emperor Alexios' two purple-robed lion cubs began to try their out, and Leo Diogenes, who was in golden armor, pleaded loudly: "Your Majesty, please allow us to go out and break the wooden village of those beggars!" ”

The Emperor hesitated, the fleeing cavalry raised too much dust, he could no longer see the battle clearly, and he did not know that the Varangian guards had begun to advance towards the camp alone after breaking out, but it was clearly an opportunity to break through.

As if seeing through the emperor's hesitation, the Diogenes brothers did not hesitate, drawing their swords out of their sheaths, as if waiting for the emperor to speak.

Alexios moved his jaw slightly almost as a last resort, but in the eyes of the two young men, the emperor was obviously nodding, so hundreds of iron horsemen hissed out amid the battle cry of the two, and the decisive battle was about to break out!

Andreano Komnenos seemed a little surprised that the Emperor had begun the general attack so quickly, and when he saw that it were the two cubs of the Emperor Romanus who were leading the charge, a strong displeasure immediately welled up in the noble royal family's chest:

We are all imperial generals, just because we know how to advance and retreat and be humble, we actually let the two bear children be the pioneers, why didn't the Ducasses blind these two wolf cubs with their old son in the first place!

Thinking of this, he finally didn't wait for the emperor's military order, but only let people blow the horn and frantically order the Angus troops to come forward - this battle must be won by the Komnenos royal family!

Eight hundred Latin cavalry trotted in the direction of the camp, and the two-handed axes and broadswords of the Nordic Guard had already begun to harvest on the front line of the camp, and these warriors dissolved the shield wall, split the iron armor with wide slams, and slashed the compound bows of the Pecheneg infantry in two, while the nomadic warriors, wielding scimitars, stubbornly resisted the assault of the most terrible heavy infantry in Europe.

The Latin cavalry did not deliberately speed up, and the Diogenes brothers' group of mounts "Aguntople" were not as convenient as the Italian knights, but they were better suited to ramming the enemy's chariot positions, and in Spain, the Christian army used heavy cavalry to break through the Moorish fortifications and open a gap for the infantry, a tactic that the Latins were no stranger to.

Although the scale of the planned 2,000 cavalry has not yet been reached, as the orphans of the martyrs of the empire, the morale of these young warriors is extremely high, as their commander, Leo Diogenes, who was "born in purple", is on a mission to revitalize the family, his father Emperor Romanus was betrayed by Pecheneg mercenaries and captured by the Seljuks, making the Diogenes royal family a disgrace to the Roman Empire, and now is his time for revenge!

"The Holy Cross will win!" （Stauros Nika！ Leo shouted in Greek, and not long ago, in the same land, another group of Roman soldiers had just shouted in another language, "Allah-Hu-Akbar!" ”（Allahu Akbar!）

Suddenly, many thistles flew out of the camp, and the Roman iron horsemen, who had already begun to kick the spurs, could not dodge and fell to the ground with a bang, while some panicked horses avoided to the left and rushed directly into the bloody Varangian guard array.

Young Nikephoros Diogenes was overturned from his horse, and when he fell to the ground, his silver-plated helmet also fell off, and he immediately rolled on the battlefield and disappeared, he looked up, but saw that the jaw of a fellow was being cut off by the pagan scimitar, and he swung his sword to cut off the black hand that held the scimitar, and the calloused palm of the Scythian fell along with the scimitar, and the man painfully grasped the empty tip of his right arm with his left hand, but was pierced by the spear and the fur hat crooked to the side.

Leo rode his horse like a lion, and behind him, many Roman cavalrymen were hit by javelin arrows from the towers, some of them were full of arrows, and their shields were nailed to their armour, but they continued to rush forward.

However, the Varangian guard, which was so torn apart by their own cavalry that they could only retreat temporarily, raising their shields to block the arrows while supporting their wounded comrades to retreat, not even the triangular red flag.

The left flank of the cavalry of Agung Toplei was suddenly exposed, and the nomadic warriors began to fire arrows in this direction, and the falling arrows dragged the white feathers like birds falling into the abyss, and some of the dismounted iron horsemen who had lost the shield screen could not withstand such a fire, and fell to the ground in a mess, and the blood immediately covered the weeds under them.

Angus arrived with the Latin cavalry, and seeing that his left flank was in danger, he ordered the men to rotate to the left in the same way as they had been trained, and rushed into the Scythian archers' positions, which were protected by horses and carts.

Following the passage that had been demolished by the Varangians to reject the horses, the Latin cavalry entered the "fortress", and Maeve shot an arrow from her horse's back, then drew her sword and slashed it, the stubborn highland shield woman with a sharp posture, like the ancient queen of Tomyris, with her bow and sword to drink blood, making the Scythians let out a terrifying roar.

Angus's luck was not too good, his luxurious equipment sparked numerous sieges, and the Pecheneg warriors, who had never seen plate armor, tried to kill the Iron Tortoise-like Roman general with their bows and arrows, and a large number of arrows were concentrated in his direction, leaving chisel marks on the hardened armor dome of the English armor that could not be penetrated, and at the same time, Angus could not move freely, so he could only clash with his horse repeatedly, trying to squeeze a space in the crowd.

“Til Valhall!” Angus suddenly heard a familiar voice, and looked up, a roaring white bear came into view, the last time he saw this luxurious shawl was in Meisembria.

"Lord Björn!" He shouted in the Norse language.

The Varangian guards, caught in the Pecheneg formation, seemed to be in a state of frenzy, deaf to Angus's calls, and only kept wielding their tomahawks and attacking fiercely in no direction.

Angus felt his body sink when a spear pierced from the bottom up through the horse's belly, and the mounted iron horse fell to the ground, constantly raising his hooves and struggling, attacking the enemy who tried to get close to him with the hoof. Angus easily broke free from the saddle, but fell to his knees, but fortunately the iron armor was very close to the body, and the joints were especially dexterous, otherwise he would have dislocated himself in such a position.

He struggled to his feet, free from the shock of the knock from his helmet, the cold black sword began to swirl, spinning like a geometric figure, his pace quickly regained, and as he continued to block, slash, and crouch, a corpse fell to the ground, he tried to approach in the direction of Björn, but found that Gilik was also under siege to protect himself, so he turned to the side and cleared the battlefield for his squire.

The sun was so strong that the fighting soldiers were quickly exhausted, but the nomads were able to take turns and fight, while the Latin cavalry and the Agung Tople cavalry were left to fight for their own survival.

The battlefield was in chaos, Nikephoros Diogenes knocked another mace off, and seeing the continuous fall of his comrades, the young man could not help but question his brother:

"Where the hell is the Emperor? Why are we the only ones fighting? ”
