Chapter 31: Mutual Conflict

The cannonfire ceased, and the fury of all the Moses horsemen was ignited, and even though Kadam had reined in the hoplites of the rear brigade in time, the large Wallachian light cavalry on his left and right flanks rushed out of the snow and mist stirred up by artillery fire and their own horses' hooves, drew their bows and began to engage in outpost warfare, which they were so good at.

The Wallachian hussars on the left flank were at the target of the artillery, which had been pushed out by the enemy, and they saw that these cast-iron or cast-copper pipes had a long reload period after spewing flames and projectiles, "We will rush like the wind, kill them back into those vehicles, and destroy these strange big pipes of our captives!" With this in mind, the hooves of the more than a thousand plundering light cavalry were about to fly, and many of them were crooked under the stirrups and clenched their horned bows in their hands, their eyes fixed on the enemy's artillery positions, and their horsemanship was terrifying, and they could easily hide under their saddles and dodge the enemy's arrows.

In addition, there were about a similar number of Wallachian light cavalry on the right flank, and they rushed to Gawain's left flank, where almost all of Gawain's cavalry were gathered.

Even on the central outpost, in front of Gawain and the three hundred cavalry attached to the Red Hand Brigade under the banner, hundreds of enemy light horsemen pounced, and they set up clusters of arrows full of hatred, gathered and scattered, and shot at the place where the Roman emperor was.

Arrows whizzed, some hit the side of Gawain's mount, and some hit the Praetorian Guards beside him, but these arrows didn't even hurt Gawain's silver-gray armor, they bent and slipped down, and fell under the emperor's horse, and the rest of the forbidden soldiers did the same, "Hahaha! "Everyone, including the Emperor, laughed at the weak arrows of the Wallachian hussars.

On the other hand, General Kadam continued to try to gather the ranks.

But the shrimp whisker cannons planted in the ground by the attached cavalry began to roar!

On the central front, more than 100 clusters of orange light exploded at the same time, and then a large area of shotguns sprayed out smashed horizontally - this kind of light shrimp whisker cannon can be carried by an attached cavalryman, and the other can carry a projectile and an ignition short pole (the other end of the short pole is a spear blade, which can also be fought at close range), fill a shotgun before the battle, and wait until the enemy cavalry is as close as flying, and shoot out more than 100 guns at the same time, which is enough to make the enemy cavalry feel the sourness of what is called "fire horse and hornet riding face"!

"Long live Romana!" Before the firepower of the cavalry shrimp whisker cannon poured into place, all the shooting commanders who spread out also followed this shout, pinched the trigger and flicked down the dog's head fire rope, and began to fire deafeningly.

Guns and shotguns "washed" the entire Wallachian cavalry group that rushed over, and they originally tried to approach the enemy to shoot arrows in a whirlwind, but the other party did not give a chance at all, and directly taught this group of steppe cavalry how to behave, no, there is no need to be a man: the Wallachian cavalry in rows, some of the war horses soared into the air and fell, and some of them knelt down on their front knees and threw themselves on the ground, and they were instantly defeated.

On the right flank, Nexus and the gunners dragged the artillery back, and at this time, the chariots lined up also showed their hideous faces, and the various artillery guns behind the carriage board were also under the control of the craftsmen, and began to shoot fiercely, and more than 1,000 Wallachian cavalry rushed from this side, after dropping more than 100 corpses, they also retreated backwards like a tide.

On the left flank, the Oghuz cavalry regiment and the garrison Praetorian cavalry took the initiative to attack, they drove their "Helan" horses, pulled buffalo horn strong bows, and directly frantically frantically countered the Wallachian cavalry that came over. The Wallachians: that is the opponent of the mighty Oghuz? In addition, the bows, armor, and helmets were not as good as the people, so they were shot down one by one, and the rest of the people wanted to circle on both sides, or pretend to be defeated to shoot back the horse arrows.

But all this was "pediatric" in the eyes of the Oghuz cavalry, and they laughed, and rushed directly from the middle of the horse, shooting left and right, or directly forward, and the Wallachians who tried to return the arrows were shot through the back one by one, and died on the spot before they could coil their bows and pull the strings.

What was supposed to be a fake defeat quickly became a real defeat.

The cavalry of the second line of the Bulgarian side saw in horror that many Wallachian cavalry were lying on their saddles covered in blood, with many arrows stuck behind their backs and being carried by their mounts, and rushed back to the array in twos and threes.

He was followed by the enemy general Theognes, who commanded the left flank cavalry of Emperor Gawain and rushed all the way to the right flank of Kaddam, who personally drew his bow and shot down four banner officers before returning with great triumph, while the rest of the cavalry on Kaddam's right flank did not dare to resist or pursue at all, and after the tide receded, they were hundreds of feet.

"Hooray!" The brigade infantry and the warriors of the Imperial Tomb Forbidden Army, who were staying at their posts on the battle line, all shouted angrily when they saw this.

"Tell the whole army, keep up." At this time, looking at the scene of the enemy's defeat and dispersion, Gawain still did not dare to take it lightly, he wanted to control the rhythm of suppressing the Moses cavalry, that is, first thwart their sharp spirit, then use long-range artillery to attack, and finally continue to eat bite by bite.

As a result, before the emperor's words were finished, the "Imperial Tomb Forbidden Army" on the second line of the right flank let out a roar of self-cutting charge, and this group of "barbarians with axes" was probably bleeding, or it may have been caused by greed for merit, they ran in groups with tomahawks, crossed the immobile array of red-handed cavalry, and began to launch a self-assertive assault on the enemy - Mikhail could not control his own troops at all!

"Bastard, what the hell are they doing? This group of lawless Danish, Saxons! Gawain was furious when he saw the reckless behavior of the infantry line on the right flank.

In the Battle of Durazo that year, it was the undisciplined pigs of this group of barbarians that led to the Normans on the plain, which made Emperor Alexios turn the victory into defeat.

The Imperial Tomb Forbidden Army even disrupted the route of Theognes' headquarters who had returned, and the infantry and cavalry collided with each other, losing their original steps and order.

Seizing this opportunity, Kadam ordered his reserve cavalry on his right flank to outflank him again, and this group, mostly the rebellious Plonian and Bolgar knights, all armoured, made their heavy bows and galloped, killing and wounding many of the forbidden army at once—the frightened reckless men were not resilient, and soon fell away with their irises and axes.

The frightened red hand cavalry hurriedly rushed forward to fill the hole in the battle line, but still one of the enemy cavalry was able to maneuver and rush directly in front of Gawain, drawing his bow and firing arrows.

The spearmen and shooters of the Red Hand Brigade bravely stepped forward to protect their emperor and fought hard for a long time before forcing the enemy back.

The cavalry of the Bulgarian side took the opportunity to rush over again, and thanks to the artillery team commanded by Nexus in front of the right flank fortress to fight another round in time, which disrupted the pace of the enemy's cavalry, the battle lines of both sides shrank back and the confrontation and calm were restored.
