After William refused Sancho's request for a meeting, he seemed so annoyed that he sent his own light cavalry before Castile's infantry could make contact with his own line, trying to disrupt William's line and lure his infantry away from the line.

The tactics used by the opponents were almost identical to those used by William at the Battle of Hastings decades earlier, and if Sancho tried to force his way through in the face of a strong infantry phalanx, he would have suffered huge losses and would have suffered a great blow to his morale.

On the other hand, the use of decoy tactics can draw a part of the infantry or cavalry out of a tight line, and then break each one with heavy cavalry or overwhelming strength.

This tactic was still extremely advanced at the time, not to mention William's Battle of Hastings, even the Castile people over the years have used this tactic to lure the enemy.

Unfortunately, instead of a loosely organized feudal army, they faced a Guards regiment trained by William himself, which was far more organized and disciplined than any army in the world.

No matter how the Castile cavalry attacked, the soldiers of the 1st Guards Regiment still held their lines.

Faced with this result, King Sancho of Castille was a little angry, and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "The catapults are forward, the archers are close behind, the infantry regiments are ready to fight, and the cavalry is spread out on both flanks!" ”

Since the strategy of luring the enemy did not work, there was only one way to meet the hard.

Sancho, King of Castile, used one of the tactics he was proud of, bombarding the enemy line with a torsional catapult, forcing them to rush up and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

During the charge, Sancho would use his longbowmen to throw arrows, which would inflict massive damage on the enemy and greatly demoralize them.

After the enemy army finally rushed through the rain of arrows, they were chainmail hoplites armed with a large zither-shaped shield in one hand and a spear and broad-edged sword in the other.

In the face of the shield formation formed by the chainmail hoplites, no matter how stubborn the enemy is, they will not be able to break through it, and at this time, the cavalry arranged on both flanks will charge them from their flanks or rear, and cooperate with the infantry to completely defeat the opponent.

This was the tactic that the Castiers relied on to win in the Moorish battles, and after merging with the Normans' cavalry tactics and longbow techniques, the battle formations became sharper and more aggressive.

However, at this time, this tried and tested tactic rarely did not play its due role, but was firmly restrained by William.

The tall torsion stone-throwing cart was originally able to inflict hateful damage and intimidation on the enemy, but in the face of smaller, more powerful and long-range artillery, it was like encountering heaven and earth and was destroyed by shells one after another.

Seeing this scene, Sancho and the nobles of Castille fell to the ground in surprise, they had no idea that the Normans would still hide such a terrifying weapon, a war machine that surpassed the torsion stone throwing cart.

After destroying all the catapults and stopping for a short time, the gunners adjusted the angles of their guns and bombarded the Castilles' front without stopping.

Because the enemy infantry line was so dense, almost every shell hit the target.

In the face of the high-speed rotating cannonballs, whether it was the shield wall of the kite-shaped shield or the body of the soldier, it was so fragile that every shell could plow a deep ravine in the phalanx of the infantry in Castile, taking the lives of dozens of unfortunate soldiers.

Now the situation was reversed, and after losing all the catapults, it was the Castilles who were threatened by artillery.

The only way to go before King Sancho and the Castilles was to destroy all the cannons with cavalry, and at the same time order their men to charge, close to the opponent's infantry phalanx, and crush the enemy with hand-to-hand combat, which they were good at.

Sancho of Castille had already known from his previous expeditions that William's phalanx of infantry did not carry any shields, but carried a lot of weapons such as iron rods, wooden hammers, and spears, so he was confident that in hand-to-hand combat, his Castile hoplites would have an advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

Boom Boom Boom .... Boom Boom Boom ....

Light and heavy cavalry on both flanks of the Castile line leaped out of the line and began to attack the left and right flanks of the Normans.

Sancho's two flanks were different in focus, with the left flank being to hold back the Norman knights, so they had more light cavalry and more room to maneuver, while the right flank cavalry was used to break through the Norman line head-on, so they were mostly heavy cavalry, able to break through the Norman infantry with their sophisticated chain mail and long cavalry guns.

After the cavalry attack on both flanks, they were followed by heavily armored soldiers armed with zither-shaped shields and spears, which were an important measure of a country's military strength and the key to a decisive victory in the battle.

"We will win this war!"

William rode a tall horse, holding a telescope to observe the battlefield, and saw that Sancho had slowly pressed the infantry under his command, and a victory smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Count Roger, quickly lead the 2nd Guards Cavalry Brigade to meet the cavalry on the right flank!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Roger. Morality. Ottwell answered excitedly.

"Odo, you are in charge of commanding the infantry phalanx, and you must withstand the onslaught of the enemy's cavalry and infantry!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Otto. Morality. Conteville stooped and said.

"Your Majesty, what about me? Didn't I and the 1st Guards Cavalry Brigade be assigned tasks? After a long time, Robert still did not wait for the news of the attack, so he eagerly stepped forward and asked.

"It's not time for you to attack, but when the enemy army is exhausted, I will give you the order to attack, and your role will be to deliver the final blow to the enemy and completely destroy them!" William was not annoyed by Robert's rudeness, shook his head slightly, and spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Robert is a fiery and well-behaved person, as his elder brother, William naturally knows his character well, if there is no certain restraint, he may become a wild horse at this moment.

There were not many people who could restrain Robert, except for his brother Otto, and only a few people such as William, Hubert, and Rodrigo.

On their right flank, the 2nd Guards Cavalry Brigade led by Count Roger had been engaged in battle with the menacing Castile cavalry, one well-equipped and disciplined, the other brave and good at fighting, and the tactics were changeable.
