Chapter 303: Split

"Brother, Drogo, Humphrey, now is not the time for an argument, our top priority is to get back to camp as quickly as possible to regroup and fight the Holy See's army." Caesar couldn't stand the chatter of Drogo and Humphrey, and immediately persuaded him.

"What to do when we retreat, we now also have more than 3,600 troops, which is more than enough to deal with this cavalry that goes forward, we have to stay here and annihilate this cavalry." When Dragoe and Humphrey heard Caesar's words, as if provoked by something, they resolutely opposed the retreat.

"Brother, what about you, what is your decision?" Caesar ignored the two clamoring and turned to his brother William, the Iron Arm, and asked.

"What Dragow and Humphrey said makes sense, I think it's better to stay and fight and see if there's a chance to get results." William 'Iron Arm' still trusts his two brothers at home rather than following the advice of his half-brother Caesar.

"In that case, then I will go back and organize the army to come to meet us, if your side wins, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue, expand the results of the battle, if we fail, everyone has a way out." Caesar was not reluctant, and since his brothers refused to retreat, he would not force them to stop.

"Do you want to escape, Caesar, you coward?" Dragoo looked at Caesar, who was about to leave, only to feel irritable, angry, and drew his long sword and pointed at the other party and shouted angrily.

"Hmph, idiot." Caesar also ignored these two unknown fellows, he had to rush back and come with the army, at least not to leave his brother William, the Iron Arm, who remained here, in a difficult situation.

"Caesar..."William 'Iron Arm' stretched out his hand to try to persuade Caesar to calm down, but was stopped by the brothers Drogo and Humphrey.

"Big brother, don't pay attention to this arrogant fellow, Caesar has looked down on our brothers since he won the support of William, Duke of Normandy, and I think he must be trying to betray us..."

"Enough, Drago, Humphrey, you are not allowed to speak ill of Caesar, or I will not show you any mercy." 'Iron Arm' William knocked Humphrey's arm off with a flick of his right hand, and shouted angrily with a gloomy face, he hoped that his brothers could get along in harmony and not make everyone unhappy because of some things, what he hated the most was that his brothers attacked each other and said bad things behind their backs.

Reprimanded by William of the Iron Arm, Drogo and Humphrey also stopped, were silent for a moment, and changed the subject: "Big brother, the cavalry in front seems to be moving, they are waiting to join the army in the rear, we must defeat each other before they successfully join forces, so that we can gain an advantage in the next war." ”

"Yes, now is the best time, there are less than a thousand cavalry on the opposite side, and our cavalry and Norman knights here add up to at least 1,200 people, and with the addition of 2,000 infantry auxiliaries, we are fully capable of defeating each other." Humphrey also persuaded.

In their opinion, the most important thing in an army is the knights, as long as the knights of the church are annihilated, they can basically lock the victory, as for the large number of infantry, they are very despised like other nobles, and do not think that those infantry can play a role in the next battle.

"Alright, Drago, Humphrey, go and organize the army to attack, and I'll take a thousand Norman knights to attack." 'Iron Arm' William rolled over his horse and commanded.

The two brothers, Drogo and Humphrey, were very excited, and immediately turned back to the army and directed the army to attack the church cavalry who were resting in the front.

This time they had to do everything they wanted, defeating their opponents cleanly, making Caesar, who looked down on them, bow his head high.

"All the troops are attacking!"

"All the troops are attacking!"

Drago and Humphrey rode on their horses in high spirits, and commanded with their right hands raised.

The first to attack were the more than a thousand Norman knights behind Drogo and Humphrey, who outpaced the slow-moving infantry in front of them at lightning speed, and after jogging a little bit under the command of William 'Iron Arm', they formed three columns of assault formations, and several of them skillfully formed a wedge-shaped formation, like an awl trying to gouge through each other.

Not to be outdone, Drago and Humphrey, who were behind them, hurried to urge the noble coalition under their command to speed up.

However, in the end, it is the aristocratic coalition army, due to the relationship between the non-subordinate and the large number of conscripts, they are still a mess, and the speed of progress is very slow.

"Drogo, look, the cavalry on the opposite side is moving, they seem to be turning backwards, they are going to run!" Humphrey looked up into the distance, watched the movement of the cavalry on the opposite side, and immediately shouted to Drogo beside him when he realized that something was wrong.

"I see, Humphrey." Dragoe casually won the game, and rode his horse to the front of the battle to boost morale, urging his troops to speed forward.

These church cavalry seemed to be deliberately avoiding the onslaught Norman cavalry, taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and keeping a distance from the pursuing Normans.

"These church knights seem to be trying to lure themselves somewhere, are they trying to set up an ambush, no, I have to be careful." William 'Iron Arm' had a keen sense of battlefield, and he soon noticed that something was wrong with the knights on the other side.

"The whole army stopped advancing and waited for the rear brigade." 'Iron Arm' William raised his right hand and commanded the Norman knights.

The situation of the Norman knights in front was learned by Drogo and Humphrey, and they immediately led two hundred Norman knights out to join the one thousand Norman knights in front.

"Big brother, what's wrong? Something went wrong. Delrog asked, puzzled.

"You see, something is wrong with the Church knights in front, they seem to be trying to lure us in, most likely trying to set up an ambush somewhere ahead." William of the Iron Arm pointed his right hand at the Church Knights who were slowly retreating in front of him, and said with some concern.

"Something to worry about, can the cowardly Church knights defeat the brave and fierce Norman knights? How is this possible! Dragoo laughed and said disapprehantly.

"Yes, big brother, you are too careful, let the younger brother take someone to investigate first." Humphrey shook his head in the same way, with the same look of contempt.

"Don't be impulsive—" Before William the Iron Arm could finish speaking, Drogo and Humphrey pursued with two hundred Norman knights, confident that with two hundred elite Norman knights, they would be able to defeat ten times the enemy.
