Chapter 64: Spear Charge

More than 10,000 Roman soldiers, of which the entire left flank was the troops of the Trabzon Military District, Harold commanded the guards, archers, and infantry in the center, and the right flank was only a hundred Pronian cavalry and a large number of light soldiers, commanded by Branas, and the front line of the three-winged men and horses spread out two or three times, along the opposite side of the hillside, until the long horizontal shape of the Calabi mountain road was spread out in the wilderness, the banners were like stars in the sky, and the soldiers were spread out in columns, like countless shining fish scales, and the thick smoke raised by human feet and horses' hooves covered the sky and the sun. Rushing towards the hill where Gawain was.

"The textbook Roman army formation, in front of which is a fish-scale formation of four infantry wings, staggered arrangement, leaving a passage for the reserve army to enter, and behind it is a horizontal column of heavy cavalry and archers, first weakening us with spears and bows, and then sending out cavalry, attacking from the front and both wings at the same time, tearing and crushing us" Gao Wen, under the banner of the Red Hand Cross Sword Battle, nervously looked at the enemy army that was attacking like a tide, so bold and reckless, he couldn't help but feel that his heart was oppressed, he held the hilt of the sword, and looked up at the blue sky with the flag horns dancing, Then he sighed, "Forget it, even if I pray to you now, I'm afraid that you will grit your teeth and disdain me - killing, proselytizing, abduction, ****, smuggling, disloyalty, making a pact with the devil, and conforming with heretics, trying to establish a new kingdom, and also hoping that this kingdom can surpass the Holy Land, I have not left any of these things behind, and I don't bother you, just do what I need to do, just use my devil's sword to do it." ”

An arrow swept past the corner of Gawain's eyes, and then more and more, and the soldiers behind him began to raise their shields. Defending against the bows of the flying Roman light soldiers, the sailor company behind also began to shoot arrows to counterattack.

Then. Under the flying arrows, Gawain drew the sword of phosphorus fire. The cold sword body reflected his blue eyes, and he poured out courage in a desperate situation: Kabeamia's strategy will definitely work, but Birell and Merlot are my comrades in life and death, and I will not leave them to escape into Gangara Fort on my own, so now all the fate of rise and fall is pinned on the edge of this spear and sword, and it will be put to death and reborn!

"Dismount, raise the spear, raise the spear!" Gawain roared and jumped off his horse. Swiftsilver was slapped and told to run away from the front line, and then the four hundred horsemen followed suit, and in this present combat environment, horses are more valuable than men, and soon hundreds of horses ran down the hillside, and when Billel and all his men on the ridge saw this, they involuntarily knelt down and prayed to the Almighty God for the success of Gawain's battle.

At this time, four hundred cavalry behind Gawain. With the original horseless 600 cavalry, a total of 1,000 people, all fought on foot, and with this order of the Grand Duke, everyone spontaneously lined up to march forward with only twenty men. The column formation of thirteen columns was divided into four teams, and the first four columns were all closely along the shoulders of the former. The spears were erected, and all the deep ones behind them clung to their shields, maces, and swords. The light of the spear tip is breathtaking.

At this moment, the skirmishers of the Roman Empire had rushed within range. They all set up strings and aimed, and all the fish scale phalanxes began to slowly approach and unfold, and the cavalry behind raised their horses' hooves, and all the people worked hard to cooperate on time and launch a thunderous blow.

Gawain drew his shield and protected it in front of him, then held his sword and roared and ran down first, and then four columns of mounted spears, with his pace, also rushed from the hillside, because the speed was too fast, the arrows fired by the Roman light soldiers flew over their heads, and the man who was hit by the arrow spurted blood and fell behind Gawain, but his comrades jumped over their corpses and continued to charge with spears. Before the light soldiers in front received the order to retreat, they were immediately stunned when they saw countless enemies rushing on foot with sharp spears and roaring angrily.

There was a sound of spears piercing into the body, and the first two or three rows of Roman light soldiers suffered a great disaster, and they were instantly stabbed down, and many of them were pressed against the tip of the spear, spitting blood from their mouths and sliding backwards for several steps before falling on their backs one after another. But the cavalry company's spear charge continued, and they continued to step on the corpses of the light troops, close together, and bravely broke through.

Then the tip of the spear came into contact with the Roman infantry in the shape of fish scales in the back, four teams in a single wing (dozens of people, all spearmen in the front, archers in the back), and the wings formed a formation, their leading warriors, wearing armor and holding spears, but obviously slightly inferior in length, as a result, the tip of the spear had not yet pierced the torso of the infantry cavalry of the large army, and the opponent's Cantos and Norman-style cavalry spears came first, and the infantry had their helmets shattered, covering their faces and falling down, like a wall that had collapsed one after another.

Soon, the Greek infantry company on the right flank also raised their spears and launched a Banzai charge.

Theodoro, who was caught off guard, was still holding his scepter and had not yet put it down, seeing that he was charging with a spear like a sea of mad rage, rushing him and Harold's front line to pieces, and at the same time, Harold, who was in the middle army, was also dumbfounded, "Branas's battle line is about to be destroyed!" This was the first cry of the former Varangian commander.

In fact, the Pronian cavalry beside Branas was first frightened by the momentum of this spear charge, and even Branas himself was terrified, "What kind of charge is this, why don't you fight according to the regulations?" Later, when he wanted to change his formation, trying to increase the depth to fight against the two "spear columns" in front of him, he found that it was too late - Gawain personally led these two columns, lined up with long and terrifying riding spears, and slashed - Branas was originally in a long and narrow horizontal formation, and he saw that the left side of the high ground where Gawain was based was all isolated cliffs, so he wanted to concentrate the archers, surround them and throw arrows, and shoot the horses of Gawain's cavalry, but he didn't expect that now the other party directly made a long column, Stunned to kill from a narrow sortie point.

"Don't back down, kill until you relent!" Gawain still said the same simple words, and then the tip of the spear quickly pierced the formation of Branas, and the flesh and blood continued to fall with his vision-the right wing of the Roman army where Branass was located was pierced through at once, torn into three sections, originally like a crooked snake that had been cut off, and then burst into countless "spiders" and "ants", scattered and fled.

Harold, who had seen the right flank flee with lightning speed, stayed for a while before he saw that his front infantry and archery line had also been "pierced" by the other two spear columns, and Theodoro's wing, which was also fighting with the spears of the "Fury" company, was inseparable, and in a hurry, he shouted, "Varangian guards, charge me!" All the cavalry retreated a hundred feet, ready to give up the distance and drive the enemy back. (To be continued.) )
