Chapter 297: A fierce battle is in full swing

Suddenly, "Knock knock...", the war drums roared. Under the slowly opening city gate, a large array of Malu troops in battle armor had poured out. It's just that unlike the cathars' attire, only a few of them wear battle armor. And the style is still more messy.

There were also a few warriors, dressed in gray robes and turbans, dressed as cultists. This is a staunch "Sunni and Popular" cultist, also known as Sunni for short. In the context of Lee Seungji's vigorous promotion of Puritanism, the fanatics were predominantly Sunnis. At the call of the Sunni imams, he spontaneously went to Malu to help the Malu defenders resist the cathars moving south.

Not only that, but this anti-religious army is also mixed with a large number of Shiites. Originally, the two were doctrinally opposed. But Puritanism expanded too rapidly in the Khorasan region. Many low-level people almost secretly changed their beliefs.

As soon as the cathars come, they will immediately take the oath of membership.

As a result, almost all sects other than Puritanism regarded the Apologists as their great enemy.

In fact, if it were other sects, Sunnis, Shiites and other religious sects, they would not be so nervous. Other religions, such as Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Nestorianism, and other religions, do not respect the true God, and it is difficult for believers to convert and abandon Christianity.

But Puritanism is different!

They worship the true God and believe that the true God is omnipotent. and denounced all other sects as heretics.

As long as it exists, there is almost no place for other sects. Therefore, after the Puritan intention to touch the land of Khorasan, many revered and respected imams united as if they were facing a great enemy.

It's just that everyone thought that the cathars would attack Maru next spring. So this winter, there are not many defenders left in Malu.

But their combat power should not be underestimated. Because they are the least afraid of death, the craziest. When you get to the battlefield, you will be like a madman, and you will die with the enemy at all costs. This kind of hard work will definitely make the enemy scared.

But they were destined to touch the stones. Because the apologetics are not ordinary armies, but for Puritanism, for the revitalization of orthodox, soulful armies. On the battlefield, they have their own things to protect, and they have the belief to support them in fighting.

It's no different from these fanatical defenders.

Therefore, when the Malu army rushed over, the commander of the cathar army also gave the order to charge.

I saw that the two were like meteor showers sliding down the sky, with an indomitable momentum. It is like the collision of stars in the universe, invisibly revealing a breath of destruction and destruction.

In fact, this is the breath of death!

Because then, everyone has the potential to die on the battlefield. The white snow is also dyed bright red. The still snowman becomes a spectator, watching the living life pass by in front of his eyes.

Gu Yimaiti was hidden in an inconspicuous snowman, looking a little nervous. He had come to the city of Malu last night with Commander Abrajan. Without resting, they hid themselves in the snowman.

When I waited until dawn, I was very sleepy. But standing in the snowman, you can't sleep. I can only stand and pretend to sleep with my eyes closed.

Fortunately, there is a wooden plank separating it, so you don't have to worry about breaking the snowman if you are not careful.

Seeing the fight under his nose at the moment, his sleepiness was unconsciously gone. And he was so close to the enemy that he couldn't help but feel worried.

And on the battlefield, the two warring sides have been completely killed together.

Just listen to the sound of horses' hooves. "Whoosh, whoosh...", the sound of arrow rain breaking through the air continued to resound throughout the audience. "Whew, smack, sss

Splashes of blood splattered to the ground, melting the icy snowflakes. However, the low cold temperature will cause it to quickly condense into ice. But soon another blood was spilled, and it melted again. Repeatedly, hundreds of corpses that had lost their temperature were also frozen in red blood.

But the cathars in black armor and the Maru army in different costumes didn't care about this. In everyone's eyes, they just want to kill each other. So as to make yourself alive on the battlefield.

So the battlefield was full of the roars of battle, and everywhere there were the neighing of horses when they were frightened.

Although Egnazi was the governor of Maru, he was quite brave on the battlefield. And wearing chain mail made of fine iron, he took the lead. The Guard, of 3,000 men, followed in his footsteps. Constantly slashing the enemy troops in front of them, and constantly breaking into the interior of the cathars.

Delusional desire to disrupt the formation of the apologetics and achieve division and break!

But the cathars are obviously not easy to deal with. Even the number of people is only 20% of Malu's. Seventy percent of the soldiers who fought were recruits. But every three to seven soldiers in a sword-shaped formation are led by at least two experienced veterans.

They gave orders and led the entire army. Maintain operations under the charge of enemy troops. And constantly swords, from time to time to cut the enemy off the horse.

In fact, this is an infantry formation!

But in the borders of Khorasan, cavalry was the key to victory. Therefore, Li Chengji had to improve the traditional infantry formation of the Central Plains to create a military formation suitable for cavalry.

Although he tried his best to reflect the advantages of the military formation, it was difficult to hide the shortcomings of the cavalry. Like a war horse, the size is not small, and it is difficult to protect its whole body. Therefore, the enemy only needs to point the butcher's knife at the war horse, and the cavalry formation can be easily broken.

But the flaws are not hidden!

At the time of the charge, the cavalry with a military formation still suffered many fewer casualties than an army without a military formation. And the lethality is also more powerful.

Like this time, the Malu army has encountered such a military formation for the first time. So that at the beginning, he was caught off guard.

Soon, however, someone discovered the shortcomings of the military formation. turned to attack the war horse, so that the military formation of the cathar army was broken one after another. When the general of the cathar army who commanded the battle saw this, he immediately asked the soldiers to change formation.

And Egnaqi, who has penetrated deep into the right flank of the cathars, has risen more and more. The constantly flicking meteor hammer is like a moving meat grinder. Almost all the cathars who came close were smashed and flew out.

As a result, no less than 100 soldiers of the Guardian Army were stoned to death and wounded by him.

In this chaotic battlefield, injury is equivalent to death. Because the chaotic hooves of horses will trample people into mud mercilessly.

"Humph! And so it is with the infidels! Another apologetic soldier was smashed into the air, and Egnaqi said proudly. Originally, he was still worried about the combat power of the cathars, but judging from the current situation, he was arrogant.

It was also this expedition against Malu, and most of the recruits were recruited. Although there is high-intensity training on weekdays, there are still many differences compared with actual combat. Just rushed at this real butcher's knife, and the real death made many recruits lose their courage.
