Then he heard a long trumpet: behind the brigade of Operation Branas, Gawain's cavalry line, raising the battle flag and moving its horses' hooves, followed the back of the Guardian Brigade.

"This is the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy, tell Toulon who is holding on to the left flank, don't be fooled, our army must hold the wooden fence line of the hills, and use archers and cavalry to repel and consume the enemy." He quickly made such a cautious decision.

So in the midst of the wolf smoke, all the Roma soldiers, clinging to their posts, watched as the brigade of Branas, in the pattern of a marching column, hurried through the ground on the other side of the river on their left: almost at the same time, the Red Hand Brigade on the front of the hill, under the command of the commander of the front, Giovanni, also followed their respective positions, and advanced collectively about five hundred feet forward, so that they were exactly within the range of the arrows of the Roma Turks.

Then the Italian veterans, as well as the archers and crossbowmen of the various detachments, began to stream out and form a skirmish, which seemed to be about to leap forward before all the infantry of all colors—Greeks, Lombards, and Germans—armed with spears and thorn guns.

Soon, the Roma soldiers behind the front wooden fence made a targeted move: in the sound of drums, they put all kinds of Greek, Armenian, and Saracen mercenaries wearing armor and shields forward, lined up behind the wooden fence, and Turkic and Kurdish light soldiers using compound bows and pike darts were deployed behind and on both sides, ready to resist the sword and shield assault of Gawain's team first, then use bows and arrows to weaken the ranks behind him, and then use cavalry to outflank and decide the outcome of the battle.

But. The Red Hand Brigade was extremely calm, and after they lined up for the attack. In an instant, the silence was silent, and the entire battlefield was a whirling wind. There is also the forest of silent spears and spears.

"The Guardian Brigade, for the glory of the eldest princess, turn around collectively!" Finally, Branas raised his sword and gave the order in the predetermined position, and the more than 3,000 soldiers, because they had not been adequately trained in flag language and pace beforehand, except for the detachment of the "Grand Duke's Dead Soldier" (which was upgraded), which was added by Gawain, the rest of the detachment was uneven. It took a long time to complete the order of the brigade commander Temachi, which made Dorus embarrassed for a moment, and then he asked the main standard-bearer to raise the banner of the red-handed crosssword.

"It's the enemy's banner!" Toulon was bewildered and frightened, he had seen the power of this banner in the battle of Nicaea, "Could it be that their main attack is on our wing?" ”

But, the main standard-bearer, then raised the banner high. Lower again, repeat three times.

The entire battlefield fell into a brief silence.

Suddenly, all the detachments of the Red Hand Brigade were surrounded by drums and trumpets. Literally bursting people's eardrums, the Italian veteran companies held their shields in front of them and followed the slope of the hill steadily. Slowly advance towards the Roma army position behind the wooden fence.

"Prepare for battle." All the sword and shield bearers of the Roma army also began to be close to each other. Fight for the glory of the samurai and compete with the elite soldiers of the Red Hand Brigade.

But soon. They saw that behind the line of the enemy's veteran companies, three detachments of infantry, almost all of them carrying spears, lined up in long horizontal formations, marched with great smoke and dust, and rushed towards the hills at great speed--these three detachments, mainly the veterans of the Red Hand Brigade, so that the pace was extremely unanimous, and the sun shone through the dense spear points that they held in their hands, and threw great terror into the hearts of the Roma soldiers.

The three detachments of recruits on the side also followed the signal and moved in turn.

The shrill sounds of terror and the shouts of slaughter echoed throughout the Zephilim hills, and soon the spear detachment of the Red Hand Brigade became the vanguard, and the Italian veterans became the rearguard, "Resist!" The man who was supervising the battle in the rear shouted.

"Don't hold back!" Gawain, who was commanding under the banner of St. Theodore, also shouted.

But in fact, the cries of the two of them, thousands of soldiers who were intertwined and fighting together, could not be heard at all, many of them covered their ears under their hats and helmets, almost deaf by the trumpet, they could only go forward and backward, and bravely stab the spear in their hands, and stab the other party in their field of vision, regardless of where the direction is, where the tip of the spear is, just stab him to death!

In the ranks of both sides, each arranged a small group of loose gunners, they wore thick felt uniforms, and at the moment when the enemy and our lines were staggered, they threw the burning canisters out to each other, and in the screams, the flames burned along the gap between the footsteps of the soldiers on both sides, and then the wind spread down the hill, the spearmen in the front rows of the Red Hand Brigade, the chain mail or leather armor covered on their chests and shoulders were already burning, but the spearmen behind were squeezing forward, and everyone could only hold back the burning, howling with flying flames, Many of them, with their spears and scythes and axes on their spears, stabbed and charged at the sword and shield men of the Roma army in front of them, because of the advantage of the length and density of their weapons, they quickly killed the barbs and overturned a piece of the enemy, and some of the rest held the spear shafts of the stabbing and drew their swords and slashed closely, but they were soon stabbed and killed by the spear tips stretched out from the deep queue behind them, and some of them used their shields to protect themselves and retreated.

In less than a minute of the battle, the advance of the Red Hand Brigade destroyed several sections of the wooden fence, and the Italian veterans also took the opportunity to infiltrate and shuttle to the battle. Everyone was indomitable, attacking upwards, and hundreds of spears were withdrawn and stabbed out like a see-saw. "The cavalry on the left flank of our army, rushing up and flanking the protruding enemy from the flank." With this order, the cavalry on the reserve line of the Roma position charged down, and they tried to go around to the flank of the front of the Red Hand Brigade, throwing pikes and swinging scimitars, and cooperating with their own frontal to defeat the enemy.

But at the same time, the three detachments that rushed diagonally on the right flank of the brigade also arrived at the battlefield one after another, almost half of this group were newly recruited Germans, who had not been trained in the array, and many of them gathered together, and under the encouragement of the witches holding the cages of the holy goose, they stood out from the array, and without waiting for the follow-up spearmen, they freely wielded long swords, flails, and iron rods, and engaged Roma's cavalry hard against each other, and suffered nearly half of the casualties in an instant, but also achieved remarkable results. The advance of the Roma cavalry was completely stopped, and the men and horses fell and rolled in the melee, and then the spearmen of the three detachments also bravely lined up in columns, and rushed violently, stepping on the wounded or corpses of the cavalrymen and horses, and then ascended one after another, instantly "penetrating" the left flank of the Yesuding troops.

"All warriors, follow my banner and fill the left flank in danger!" The brave emir also raised his spear, and when he saw that the maintenance of the formation was at a critical juncture, he rode out with dozens of slave soldiers. (To be continued.) )
