Chapter 10: Defending the Religion and Protecting the Emperor

Yes, in this big scuffle, where did the two sides arrange their reserves in advance?

The Emperor could only angrily demand that all the defeated and withdrawn infantry rearrange the battle line. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 On either side of him, the reed-like staggered blades of the Red-Hand Spearmen and the Imperial Heavy Spearmen temporarily staggered - both were exhausted and dying, and they also retreated and regrouped.

Even the left-wing light archery team under the command of Brenus, completely exhausted after firing many arrows, stopped shooting for a while, and the men and horses crowded together, began to regain their strength, and began to repair the damaged shooting equipment.

Under the banner, His Royal Highness Penipas Bastos of the Empire was covered in sweat, looking at the endless procession in front of him, and the terrible battlefield under it, just a few hundred feet away from him, he saw that the armored swordsmen of the Gao Cultural Tourism Regiment were lying quietly behind their shields, and the shields in their hands were inserted with terrifying and dense arrow feathers like cow hair, like a white porcupine or a big hedgehog with their heads, just now only more than a hundred such swordsmen formed an impenetrable line of defense, blocking the rear of the big spear array.

"The whole battlefield is at a stalemate. At this time, whoever has a strong reserve in his hands, even if it is only three or five hundred cavalry, will win the whole victory. Brenus was so resolute that if his father-in-law had been by his side, he would have praised him for being infallible.

But the problem is that neither side now has reliable reserves.

So Brenus saw that the emperor was on the battlefield below, and groups of soldiers were approaching the direction of the imperial camp, and it seemed that the emperor had also abandoned the plan to completely annihilate the Gaowen men and horses, and began to turn to a more secure route: guard the imperial camp, reorganize the array, and then look for opportunities to break the enemy.

Over there, Gawain's Chinese army, with only about 800 people left, still fighting strength, retreated to a temporary camp by the river, and was also reinvigorating.

"These people, such people." Brenus kept staring at the banner of Gawain's camp and pondered, and then he suddenly shouted to his guards, "Can you draw five hundred cavalry from this wing of ours?" Try to bypass the spear array in front of you and launch a ferocious surprise attack directly on the enemy camp. ”

It was the first time that he had heard such a frantic request from His Highness Penipasebastos, and all the guards were dumbfounded.

Then Brenus raised it again, and they awoke from a dream, and sounded their trumpets, and gathered themselves around His Highness Penipasian Bastos, and raised the banner of the attack, and in a short time five hundred horsemen were selected and lined up behind him.

The Red Hand Infantry in front of them were all very puzzled, and exchanged their heads, "What the hell is this going to do?" Many of the infantry stood up alertly, their large infantry spears erected diagonally, though it was evident that Brenus and his cavalry were not directed at them, but rather as if their line was the edge of the corridor.

Over there, Gawain's scouts also saw the movement of Brenus's left flank in the distance, "What is this guy going to do?" That flag, it should be Brenus's, is it possible for this guy to rush in front of me? The reason why the great guarantor with the bridle asked a few "is it difficult" in a series of "is it possible" is that Brenus's behavior is too strange to match the impression that Gawain has always had of him.

But it must be admitted that no matter what happened to Brenus, once he rushed with the cavalry, Gawain was really helpless: most of the war horses were tired to death, and there were only three or four hundred Armenian logisticians left in the whole camp.

Prajit, Parni and Muzafiadin were all lying in the back of the car, and military doctors were surrounding them for simple nursing procedures. Farther away, on the wagons, were densely packed with corpses - more than 180 elite Red Hand cavalry had been killed, and the emperor's side had suffered even more casualties, nearly 500 soldiers had died, not counting the same number of armed serfs, who were not included in the pension list.

The clouds began to dense in the sky, and Gawain looked at the cavalry on the mountain over there, and Brenus began to run, and he didn't know what kind of reaction to make, "Gawain, Gawain, is it possible that you are going to die in the hands of Brenus?" What a big ironic joke, is it an April Fool's joke that Jiehe made for me? ”

"Rush bravely!" Over there, the cavalry began to sweep through the two arrays of Brenus, and the harvest felt great, in front of the jumping horse's head was the endless wilderness Pingchuan, and Gawain's camp was within his reach, "After all, I am the third glory of the empire, and I must have a convincing martial arts while having prestige. ”

Suddenly, Brenus heard a more intense sound of horses' hooves, which he heard very clearly, obviously not from his team, and then he heard the terrified shouts of the left flank troops—Brenus hurriedly reined in his horse and turned his head to look—and suddenly a long line of cavalry with spears appeared on the ridge of the hill where the left flank of the empire was.

This is from the direction of Little Antioch, and by no means the army of the Empire!

At the front of this group of cavalry, the idols of St. Michael, St. Theodore, St. Nicholas and other apostles fluttered, and all of them were in the sun, and the solid armor of the men and horses was so heavy and shocked that their faces could not be seen at all, because all of them were covered under chain mail, piercing armor and hats, and the heads and helmets of the horses were fluttering with colorful feathers, which appeared right behind the left flank of Brenus.

"The Purple Princess's Mounted Cavalry!" Furthermore, the entire right-wing red-handed spear array saw this scene and began to thunder with joy.

It was true that three hundred mounted cavalry, upon learning of the battle at Miriosephalon, hurried from Cappadocia with horseback servants and baggage wagons loaded with weapons and armor, and after arriving at Fort Antioch Lesser last night, the commander Walter asked for the keys to the castle, and then sent scouts and Roma light horsemen in the castle to follow the detectives ahead: when Gawain and the Emperor began to fight in the fog, the scouts brought the news back to the fortress.

"The whole army put on armor and rode horses, and rushed to the battlefield to reinforce us." Walter shouted in an old voice, and with this cavalry corps, he became the fourth and last group to appear on the battlefield.

In the dark, it has also become Gawain's reserve and killer weapon.

"Defend the Emperor!" Ironically, at the moment of the downward charge, Walter also shouted this sentence with his sword, and the rest of the Sanzabal brothers, Gaudí and Sigma, as well as the overseer Giovanni, along with three hundred monsters in heavy armor, also echoed the slogan of "Defend the Emperor", and rushed down from the hillside with billowing smoke and dust with terrifying riding spears.

The emperor's left flank was trampled by this extremely heavy and fully armed cavalry team that swore to "defend the religion and protect the emperor", and they broke and fled within half a minute. (To be continued.) )
