History abhors nothingness, and even the Peerless Lands are filled with peoples, and unheard-of nations often rise from the wastelands, like nameless gods, who emerge from hell to rule over Heaven and Middle-earth. For the Romans, these horseback warriors who emerged from the East were such a cursed species.

The warfare skills of these barbarians were not far behind, as evidenced by their rapid control of the high ground on both flanks, their warriors looked disorganized, some dressed in leather iron scale armor with very ancient handiwork, others in chain mail and armor stripped from the Romans, with golden eagles from the Bitter Cold hovering above their heads, and a fine horseman following the guidance of a falcon and shooting a birch arrow at the front of the formation, apparently measuring the distance. Looked down on by the condescending eagle eyes, the Romans shuddered, as if they had become the prey of the other party's eyes.

Angus felt his blood thickening, and time and space froze to a standstill, with only a heavy breath bouncing through the steel. In the distance, cavalrymen armed with bows and long knives poured out of the camp, stepping on ring-shaped stirrups, urging their horses forward, forming many circular cavalry formations on the left and right of the chariot barriers, spinning like a mill waterwheel, and raining arrows falling from the heads of the Romans, reaping their lives.

It is said that in the heyday of the Pecheneg people there were forty surnames, each surname was a thousand-man army, and these thousand-man teams in front of them were only equivalent to the vanguard of the Pecheneg army twenty years ago, but no Roman general would despise them, Surena once defeated the seven legions of Crassus with 10,000 cavalry, and the Seljuk Sultan's eunuch Saf had less than a thousand glams in Manzkert, but he captured the Roman emperor himself.

The circular cavalry of the Scythians swept from right to left, and in a-for-tat confrontation with it, General Tetisius sent the Sarmatian Ucha and the Scythian Karaza.

"Sure enough, it's a famous rider in the world, I'm afraid the entire Roman Empire can't find a faster rider." Tetisius narrowed his eyes and commented in his native language.

The Seljuk mercenaries' Ring Officer, Drosh, watched the actions of his two colleagues with great interest and laughed at General Tetisius' compliment. In the eyes of these elite slave warriors, the Turkmen were nothing more than a group of horse bandits, not much more noble than the stinky Pechenegs opposite, and they were no match for their own horseback martial arts.

At this time, the Emperor's order reached all the ranks: no heavy troops were allowed to advance until the enemy had approached a mile.

The Pecheneg barricades moved forward slowly, occasionally firing cold arrows from the rear, a common tactic of the Scythian rebels on the south bank of the Danube, and they even erected rudimentary turrets on such barricades that looked like a mobile castle from afar, and such a chariot camp often included the entire tribe of the rebels, including selected herdsmen, infantry, women and children who fought with soft bows.

The Seljuks continued to stretch their bows on horseback, two or three arrows were thrown in succession, and the density of fire immediately overwhelmed the circular cavalry formation of the Scythians, after the death of Tiergu, the remnants of the nomads defected to the rebel leader Tatush on the south bank, etc., their chieftains and nobles abandoned their armored livestock, and it was difficult to gather their troops, so they could only act as Tatoosh's tent attendants, after losing the elite of these noble warriors, the combat effectiveness of the Scythian cavalry was obviously inferior to the Seljuks sent by Maliksha, and more and more cavalry were shot off horseback, and soon retreated, The Seljuks dismounted and cut off their heads in front of the enemy troops who had retreated into the dust, and tied the pendants of the Scythian Tree of Life to the saddle along with the heads, and the blood stained them with bronze and silver ornaments, which was extremely horrific.

At this time, the Pecheneg cavalry on the other flank had arrived, and the Seljuks did not have time to mount their horses and bridle, and were shot over by the enemy horsemen. The Pechenegs roared forward, drew their short-handled four-nailed hammers and slammed them into the Seljuks' heads, smashing their spired iron helmets deep into the cavities or smashing deadly holes in their skulls above their eye sockets, and the sound of shattering rang out, and some of the Seljuk cavalrymen whose helmets had been knocked off flipped onto their horses in an attempt to escape, only to be overtaken by the Scythians in the back row, and scattered with a single blow.

The scimitar slashed was no better, and he could only grope for the blood that tried to hold down the blood on his side, and finally fell to the ground screaming in agony, calling out the name of Allah in an incomprehensible tone, only to be answered by arrows that broke through the air at high speed.

"Looks like we don't need these cavalry today." The Emperor saw the fleeing Seljuks behind the battle and sighed to Mikhail Ducasse, "This nation is the fastest in victory and defeat." ”

"Only the dead will stay on this battlefield." Mikhail replied.

"Let these heretics scrub the wounds on their backs with rose water." Emperor Alexios shook his head, "Now it's time for the Romans to go into battle." ”

Pecheneg's cavalry was rolling toward the flanks, and Caesar's foreign companion cavalry was split off to the sides, revealing the Valachian forces that were in good array.

"Crossbow ready ......"

Numerous wound light crossbows and light compound bows were aimed at Pecheneg's circular cavalry firing formation.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The sound of the strings trembled, the raindrops crackled one after another, the rain of arrows like flying locusts fell into the enemy cavalry formation, and the neighing war horses fell to the ground with a bang, so they shot at each other, although the Vala people were difficult to aim at the enemy horses moving at high speed, but the nomadic horses did not have thick armor, and as soon as the arrows and crossbows arrived, several horses were harvested, and the Pechenegs shot and retreated, and finally dispersed the ring formation.

"The enemy has retreated?" There was not much smoke and dust in Angus's direction, so through the helmet guard, he could still see the Scythians in the center and left flank to the east, and Angus became more and more anxious when he saw that not long ago there were bows and arrows flying and long knives were eye-catching, but now there were only corpses trapped in the dust. Before the Emperor's military order had been issued, the richly dressed and armored Latin heavy horsemen could only stand still, hearing only the cheers of the left flank resounding across the battlefield.
