Alexios Angelos came back to his senses and rushed forward and shook Andronica's body vigorously: "My lord, the situation has reached the most critical time, if you can't defeat the emperor's army, what can you do when you return to the military region, I don't know how many people will want to use your head to ask the emperor for a reward!" ”

Little Angelos's words shook Andronica, yes, if he can't defeat the emperor here, even if he returns to the Asia Minor Military Region, he will become the emperor's prisoner at any time after losing his army, and a few of the losers in the royal struggle can be spared, and there are many people who are chopped off limbs and pierced to make adults.

Andronika galloped to the front of the battle with her pro-army and shouted: "Warriors, who can capture for me the emperor's reward of ten thousand ducats and ten mansions, and be promoted to the rank of commander!" ”

Andronica's promise suddenly stimulated the greedy Turkic mercenaries, and the excited screams of the Turks, coupled with the stimulation of blood, had already infected them with the atmosphere of battlefield fear, and the murderous spirit had already been stimulated, waving the saber in his hand eager to drink the blood of the enemy.

Andronika had been on the battlefield for a long time and knew that he was in full decline this time, and if he didn't pay a lot of money to encourage people, even the Turks would soon abandon him, so he turned back to little Angelos and yelled: "Bring the Chinese army and charge with me, the victory or defeat is here!" ”

Andronika had already observed that the emperor's army was composed of foot soldiers and auxiliary legions, except for a small number of cavalry, and now if he could rely on the commander to personally lead the soldiers into battle to maintain morale, it was very likely that he could save the defeat with his own heavy cavalry and the Turks' superb cavalry and archery skills.

Andronika drew her knight's sword and shouted at her own soldiers, "Charge with me!" ”

The knights from Asia Minor were the Byzantine heavy cavalry that shook the nations and sustained the Eastern Roman Empire for 800 years, covered with heavy armor and well-defended even their faces, and had excellent results in the war against the Bulgarians and Arabs, until the battle between the Romanus Emperor and the Seljuk Turkic Sultan Arslan Manzkot, this army was severely damaged, and only the embers remain to this day, but even this is not to be underestimated.

Alexios looked at the galloping Andronika cavalry, with heavy cavalry with spears pointed in front of him, and Alexios recalled the Iron Float in his mind, followed by the Turkic light cavalry marching in line. Alexios' grip on the hilt of his sword tightened suddenly, and now was the time for the real life-and-death struggle.

Alexios looked back and chuckled: "I can't imagine that Andronika still has the courage to fight to the death under such a disadvantage, is it difficult for him, Edmund is there?" "The commander of the Varangian Guard, who accompanied the Emperor this time, was not Harald, and the Emperor also wanted to create a faction among the Varangian Guard to avoid dominance, so he did not bring him out.

"Your Majesty, my tomahawk is already hungry and thirsty!" Edmund's hand holding the battle axe was already bruised, his eyes burned with the intent to fight, and the Viking spirit burned in his chest.

Alexios' right hand swung down again, and tens of thousands of Viking warriors rushed out frantically, the battle axes reflected the sunlight dazzlingly, the swords and shields were extremely sharp and ready to pierce the hearts of the enemy, and the berserkers roared and thundered across the vast plains.

Soon the two armies collided together, the steel converged and intertwined, the Viking warriors in the front row were hit by the heavy cavalry and fell to the ground, and died of anger in a short time, but the Vikings did not care, Odin is on top of only death is the best destination for northerners, dying on the bed at home is the shame of warriors, and the belief of the old gods is still in the inheritance of northerners.

Vikings collided with torrents of steel, Andronika slashed through the crowd, and Edmund saw the warrior wielding a sword that shone with silver light on the battlefield. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, the crimson red tassels flew behind the samurai's helmet, and in an instant, he judged that it was the enemy's general, wielded a single-edged axe to cut down a cavalryman in the middle, and strode towards Andronica's position.

Andronica also saw the tall and stout northerner rushing straight for him, dark red blood remaining on the axe, dripping down the path from which it came, and the cold light was chilling.

Andronica, who is sixty years old, recalls the years when she fought with these northern barbarians under Alexios I, and suddenly she couldn't burst into tears: "Come on, let me see if you can take off my head, hahahahaha!" ”

It was as if the frightening years of the year had returned to this old samurai, and the glittering silver knight's sword was fearless to meet him, and the brave man won when he met on a narrow road.

The sword and axe intersected and let out a piercing wail, as if it was an unbearable weight, Andronica was old after all, and she was exhausted before she could fight the triple, and the long swords intersected again and were knocked out by Edmund's battle axe.

Andronica sighed silently in her heart, it seemed that it was time to end, at this time, two knights' swords stabbed out from both sides to hold Edmund's battle axe, it turned out that Andronica's guards found the situation and rushed to the rescue, and the guards behind immediately dragged the commander back to their camp.

Alexios had been watching the battle for a while, and the Varangian Guard and Andronica's cavalry were gradually intertwined and inseparable, and the wails and hoarseness gathered together, and the situation on the battlefield was slowly developing in white heat.

"When the time comes, I will lead 200 men to detour from the left flank, and Khayyam, you will lead 200 men to detour from the right flank, pierce the two flanks of the rebels, and after breaking the rebels' Turkic mercenaries, flank and attack the middle army in a roundabout way!" Alexios' sense of smell on the battlefield sensed that it was time to throw in this new force, and the goddess of victory had opened her arms to him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Khayyam didn't care about slaughtering these compatriots of other clans, why not kill his compatriots to get rich, anyway, they were not from their own clan, and there was no psychological burden on killing them.

Alexios waved his sword: "Your fathers fought bloody battles ahead, and now it is time for you to make a contribution, and it is up to you to write the heroic epic of Rome today!" Roar! Roar! Win for your Emperor, and you will win the supreme glory and wealth! ”

The knights charged down from the mound, divided into two teams and began to circle from the two flanks of the battlefield, and the Turks guarding the two flanks of Andronica's army quickly met head-on, and the cavalry of the two sides met and it was a great battle.
