Section 265: Battlefield Decisions
The tips of the spears glistened in the sun, the swords slashed, the blood splattered in the interweaving of weapons, the roars roared like thunder, sweat soaked through clothing and armor, and the grass beneath their feet was trampled to shreds.
"Kill." Stukov shouted loudly in the crowd, raised his sword, plunged through the gap, and stabbed one of the Amar warriors behind the shield in the shoulder, who wailed into the crowd with a terrible howl.
"Boom." At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, almost drowning out the fighting sounds of the soldiers.
"What's going on?" Stukov looked over and saw that Glinton's light cavalry was charging towards the flank and rear of the Ammars, a sight that immediately cheered up the fighting Glintons.
"Wow." The Amar people, who were fighting with all their might, suddenly spotted the cavalry in the rear, and many people turned around in surprise, seeing the cavalry from far and near, the formation of the Amar mercenaries became panicked.
The light cavalry burst into the Amar position like a raging wind, and although the light cavalry was poorly equipped and armed, with a momentum and the fury of the horses, the well-trained Amar warriors were also unable to retreat, and many accidental injuries occurred under the collision with each other.
"Steady, steady." Nasser was taken aback by the sudden attack from behind, but he was not afraid of the danger, but instead rushed to the place where the cavalry was attacked by the scimitar, and the Amar warriors calmed down when they saw Nasser, and some people who did not know the direction followed Nasser.
"Gray Law." At this moment, there was another roar of horses' hooves on the ground, and this time it was the turn of the Glinton light cavalry to wonder and turn around, only to see that Lord Zack's cavalry also swarmed in, and the war horses collided with the war horses in an instant, and the neighing of the horses was extremely miserable.
On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides gradually became red-eyed, they only had hatred and blood for each other, and they were only willing to stop until they eliminated each other, and Haradin, who had been paying attention to Bruce and others, found that the noble cavalry began to act.
"Take it." Bruce rode on his warhorse, his body undulating with the jolting of the horse, followed closely behind him by the roaring noble heavy cavalry.
Seeing this scene, Haradin was not to be outdone, and immediately organized the Mamluk heavy infantry, which was arranged in two columns, facing the direction of the noble cavalry, with shields and bodies to form a line of defense, ready to meet a wave of attacks from Bruce and others.
"Crunch, swish!" Bruce sat on his horse and galloped as he pulled out his crossbow and aimed it in Haradin's direction with an arrow, which arced and shot at Haradin.
"Scandium." A Mamluk beside Haradin immediately raised the shield in his hand, only to hear a crisp sound, and the crossbow bolt slammed into the edge of the shield and flew out.
"What a powerful bow and arrow?" Haradin was surprised, the Amar people also like to shoot arrows from horseback, but the arrows shot from the distance of Bruce, even with the hardest compound bow of the Amar people, the power of the arrows will be weakened, but just now the Mamluk's shield was blocked, and the edge of the solid and thick wooden shield was still knocked into a small gap, which shows that the strength of the opponent's arrows is terrifying, and I am afraid that the iron armor will not be able to resist in front of this arrow.
"The cavalrymen come with me." To Haradin's surprise, Bruce fired another arrow, but instead of continuing to charge, he lifted the reins of his horse and crossed Haradin's troops.
"Oops." Haradin understood at a glance that the other party had no intention of attacking him at all, and that he was preparing to rush to the direction of the attacked light cavalry.
"What about adults?" The Mamluks, who had just been prepared, looked at the heavy cavalry that had passed over them in amazement, and asked Haradin.
"Collect the team immediately and go to reinforce Nasser." Haradin waved the scimitar in his hand, and he commanded the Mamluks, but as heavy infantry, the Mamluks were very strong in holding or attacking, but they had to rush from the left to the right at once, which was not a quick distance for them, not to mention the soldiers commanded by Edward launched a fierce attack.
"Roar." The Glynton spearmen swung their weapons and smashed them into the shields of the Amar warriors, who were obviously not good at dealing with this strange weapon, and the hands holding the shields were numb from being smashed with blunt objects, and when they were holding the shields unsteadily, they could be attacked because they exposed their bodies.
"Mitch, attack." Bruce shouted loudly as he crossed the troops of Haradin and the others, and he tried with all his strength to pass the order, but in fact it was a complete miracle that he could be heard by Mickey in the crowd on this chaotic battlefield.
"I think I hear the Baron's voice." Mickey listened in the spear phalanx, and he looked up to look around, at this time both flanks of the spear phalanx were under attack, but they did not know how to move, whether to attack in which direction, or to divide the troops into two ways.
"Mickey, what are we going to do?" The squad leaders in the phalanx of spears asked him one after another, and this blacksmith had an extremely important mission at this time, and he had to fight quickly according to the situation on the battlefield without Bruce's order, even in the thousands of years of history in the future, this situation was extremely tricky.
"Phalanx of spears, advance, attack." Mickey gritted his teeth, and at this moment he could only trust his instincts, raised the short sword in his hand and pointed in one direction.
"Roar, roar, roar." The phalanx of spears, which had been standing still on the battlefield as if they were outsiders, began to act after hearing Mickey's order, and they turned in the direction of Haradin, and the spears moved like a forest of winds.
"Oops." Haradin heard the chorus of the spear phalanx, his brows couldn't help frowning, after he saw through the weakness of the spear phalanx, he immediately separated the army and attacked from the flank, just hoping to quickly break one side, so as to threaten and shake the strategy of the spear phalanx, but he did not expect the two flanks of the spear phalanx to resist so stubbornly.
"Well done." While leading the heavy cavalry around the center of the fierce battle, Bruce took the time to take a look, and found that the spear phalanx had begun to move in the direction of Haradin, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, although it seemed that the spear phalanx had given Nasser its back at this time, but in fact Nasser had been entangled by the light cavalry and infantry, and had no time to attack the rear of the spear phalanx, but gave the spear phalanx a chance to entangle Mamluk, making it impossible for this elite Amar warrior to go to help.
