At this time, the two hundred or so Norman knights to which Drogo and Humphrey belonged had already crossed the crowd, and William the 'Iron Arm' was too late to stop him.

"Damn it!" 'Iron Arm' William cursed secretly, and he didn't care about the infantry that was slowly following behind him, and ordered: "Speed up, and catch up with Drogo and Humphrey!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded with a bang, and under the leadership of William 'Iron Arm', they galloped towards the fleeing knights of the church.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate, and the jealous Drogo and Humphrey are full of jealousy of Caesar and thirst for battle achievements, and at this time they have lost their minds and cannot correctly judge the situation on the battlefield.

Just as they were in pursuit, the knights of the Church not far ahead were turning unhurriedly, and after a little formation, they were pointing their weapons at them.

Now that they had calmed down, Drogo and Humphrey instinctively felt that something was wrong, that these escaped Church knights could still maintain a strong will to fight, a tight formation, and the courage to face their pursuers, which was absolutely impossible for ordinary defeated soldiers, unless they had premeditated.

"Second brother, why stop, these weak church knights are no match for our Normans at all."

"Humphrey, let's wait for a while, and it's not too late to make plans after we join up with the eldest brother's brigade of cavalry." Dragoe grabbed Humphrey's arm and stopped.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Humphrey and Drago had a good relationship, and they had a guy Caesar to deal with together, so he listened to Drago's words.

The church knights on the opposite side didn't seem to be anxious at all, just confronted them from hundreds of meters away, until William 'Iron Arm' appeared with a thousand church knights.

"Drago, Humphrey, I'm afraid there is an ambush here, let's retreat quickly and join Caesar." William 'Iron Arm' came to Drogo and Humphrey's side, grabbed their arms, and persuaded them.

Drogo and Humphrey also had this concern in their hearts, and they were about to agree to retreat after listening to the persuasion of their eldest brother, but when they heard the eldest brother talk about Caesar, they shook their heads resolutely and refused, saying: "No matter what, we must try, only once, we know the virtues of these church knights, and it only takes one charge to defeat them." ”

"Okay, I promise you. But if the situation is unfavorable, we must retreat immediately, without any hesitation, understand? "'Iron Arm' William sighed helplessly, he didn't want to risk the precious Norman knight, but his two younger brothers insisted on trying, so he had no choice but to agree.

More than 1,200 Norman knights launched and charged again, leading the knights to attack the church knights not far away, while the church knights on the opposite side retreated again, without the slightest intention of fighting.

"Damn, coward, don't run!" Humphrey was furious, he was already angry at these cowardly fellows.

"Speed up and don't let them slip away." Dragoo also shouted at his knights, ordering to speed up the pursuit.

However, before they could rush out of the distance of three hundred meters, countless knights in front of them were tripped by the wooden platoon horses that were suddenly pulled up, causing hundreds of casualties in an instant, and many knights lost their horses.

Before the end of the church's hand was over, countless elite infantry in the surrounding woods, dressed in half-body plate armor, mostly armed with spears, halberds, and maces, apparently specially prepared to deal with the Norman knights.

Around the hoplites, a large number of crossbowmen with crossbows fired crossbows at the knights trapped in the trap, and named them one by one.

On the flanks and behind the Norman knights, the vanished church knights reappeared, and at this time they were more numerous than before, about 2,600 horsemen, and rushed towards the Norman knights in a fan-shaped encirclement.

The Church Army's tricks were repeated one after another, as if they were endless, leaving them powerless.

"Drogo, Humphrey, gather the knights, let's break through to the rear!" 'Iron Arm' William was very anxious in his heart, the Norman knights gathered here were already the essence of his Purid principality, if all the Norman knights were lost here, the hegemony of the Outville family would no longer exist.

"Yes, big brother!" Drogo and Humphrey felt guilty, they knew that their stupidity had caused them to be besieged by the Church Army, and that they would never forgive themselves for the rest of their lives if their eldest brother had made a mistake.

The three of them summoned the Norman cavalry and counted them roughly, at this time, more than 1,200 Norman cavalry still maintained their complete combat strength at this moment, only a little more than a thousand, although all three of them were dripping blood with heartache, but they still endured their grief and led the army to break through.

"Catch up with them, they're going to run!"

"Seize the Duke of Apulia, and the title and land are up to you."

"Quick, kill these Normans!"

"Where, with the golden crown is William, Duke of Apulia!"

......

The Norman knights were constantly shouting from behind, and there were also church knights around them who were constantly attacking, which made them very uneasy.

William, Duke of Apulia, who was protected by the knights, when he heard that an enemy recognized him, decisively threw away the jeweled gem on his head, grabbed the reins, and galloped his horse.

"The guy in the gorgeous cloak is the Duke of Apulia, and the crossbowmen aim at him!"

Listening to the description of the enemy commander, William of the 'Iron Arm' knew that he was still being stared at, and he couldn't let them aim at him, otherwise he would be shot by the enemy, so he decisively ripped off his cloak and fell to the ground at random.

Whoa... Whoa...

However, William 'Iron Arm' reacted too late, and countless arrows were still aimed at him.

Bang bang... Dingding... When...

The sound of arrows nailing to shields and clanging against the plates of his body was heard from William's position, and the knights around him protected their dukes with their shields and bodies, and knights were constantly hit by arrows in the gaps in their armor or horses, and then fell.

"Where to go!"

Not far to the right of William's position at the Iron Arm, a brave knight burst into a shout of rage and led a company of cavalry to his position.

"Big brother be careful!"

"Big brother, you go first, let me resist."

Drogo and Humphrey, who were following behind William, hurriedly reminded him.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the brave general led a company of cavalry on a rampage among the Norman knights, wielding a flail to knock William the 'Iron Arm' to the ground.
