Chapter 23: The Fight of the Liparitis Party

Countless arrows fell in the air in the first three detachments of the Gemagis Brigade, the soldiers with their boots on the mud, and saw the arrows of the Trabzon army on the opposite side burst through the air with a whistling sound, and flew obliquely like a torrential rain, and the long, resilient spear shafts shook rapidly, and the gunners and skirmishers around them bowed down and raised their forks and shields.

"Bang Bang Bang", the sound of the arrow shaft and the shaking spear shaft staggered with each other violently, and the bent arrows fell densely under the boots, and some pierced the legs and feet of the Gemagis soldiers, many soldiers bent their knees in pain, but in the end they still dragged their injured legs with their spears and continued to move forward, as for the double-paid sergeants and veterans in the front, the arrows whizzed and shot their breastplates and throat chakras, but most of them could not cause any harm to this group of people.

Then the large phalanx of the three detachments, shouting and staggering their pace, formed a horn formation, and held their spears tightly high, forming an impenetrable iron wall, which cut through the entire battlefield.

At this time, Theodoro, who was overseeing the battle under the banner of the Black Lady. Gabuyas, his eyes flickering under his white eyebrows, he saw that in the large cloud of smoke and dust, the two large phalanxes behind Gawain began to turn their direction, divided into checkerboard-style formations, and walked towards the road to the left of him, and began to pass through the passages between several forests, "Gawain wants to control the axis of the entire battlefield, and then launches a spear charge with all his might, crushing and crushing me...... Damn, it's time for that young builder, David, to break through Gawain's rear......" Theodoro gripped the reins, also starting to get a little anxious.

And on the heights of the western slope of Sanukh, Gawain and his silver war horse, holy armor, and black "captain" stood there alone, accompanied only by a few forbidden soldiers and standard-bearers, "Great Lord Patron, the Georgian army over there has invested a large number of infantry and archers, and has begun to fight with our army's fortress. ”

"You don't need to report me on that front, if David the Builder can rush here, let him stab me in the back with his sword - my eyes will be fixed on this side until Theodoro is beheaded or fled!" Gawain replied firmly, "Let the warriors of the two cavalry regiments, Komaroi and Oghuz, dismount and push the shield carts with arrows and firebolts to press up!" ”

With a wolf-like howl, all the Komaloi and Oghuz cavalry archers shook the wolf's head banner and the horsetail flag, abandoned their mounts, walked like a fly, crossed the ravines through the bushes, stared at the red felt hats or dangled their pigtails, and rushed to the front line of the three detachments of the Gimagis Brigade at the forefront, and fiercely exchanged fire with the arrows of the Trabzonnong army on the heights.

The arrows of the two sides were densely intertwined with each other, and some of them constantly collided and fell together.

And at this moment, the soldiers at the front of the spear array are often shot like hedgehogs on their armor.

Soon, light shield carts with wooden planks were pushed up, some with sandbags, and then the soldiers of the two cavalry regiments were under their cover, gradually shooting and approaching.

Seeing that Gawain's other two phalanxes had begun to advance rapidly towards the street on that side, and that the formation was somewhat loose, Theodoro thought to himself that perhaps this was the most critical opportunity in the entire battle......

The old general raised his baton high, and after thinking about it, he roared and slashed down at the battle formation below, "Peasant cavalry regiment, attack the flanks of the second and third large phalanxes!" All the rest of the infantry threw themselves down and tangled the enemy's first phalanx, preventing them from supporting each other. ”

On the mountain, four golden hideous fish dragon heads pointed to the streets of Yima Pingchuan, and the horns suddenly rose - several Trabzonnon military armored cavalry flag officers strangled the reins, and the armored war horses under their crotches moved their iron hooves and cautiously descended down the hillside, and then many hoplite cavalry shouted and followed, and then, in the galloping wind produced by the indulgent raid, their armor swayed one after another, making a pine wave in harmony with the horses' hooves, wielding long-handled tribulus hammers and long-hooked axes, Diagonal Thorn crossed the line of Gawain's first phalanx (three detachments of the Gemegis Brigade) in the plains of the stream, and struck the flank of the second phalanx, as the other side was maneuvering towards the street along a dirt road between several disconnected bushes, divided into several sections.

"The Virgin Mary!" All the peasant cavalry forgot to die, shouting and rushing straight on horseback.

At this moment, on the slope of the hill behind the battle, Gawain watched Theodoro throw in the decisive peasant cavalry regiment, and the scepter in his hand began to swing.

It stands to reason that now he should throw the Red Hand Cavalry Twin Regiment, which he relied on the most, to fend off the opposing peasant cavalry, so that the second and third large phalanxes can reach the destination of the street, and then turn the formation, so that he can hold the spear forest forward.

Nearly a thousand Red Hand cavalry lined up in two large horizontal formations, densely and silently on the slope behind Gawain.

They didn't move.

Because although Gawain made a bold statement just now, he is still a cautious gambler in his bones, this red-handed cavalry is his reserve force for the east-west gallop battle, and he must not act rashly, otherwise he will not be able to achieve a complete victory, and meet the expectations of completely defeating the combined forces of Georgia and Trabzon in a war!

Five hundred feet ahead, there was an additional cavalry team, their armor and flag uniforms were mixed, about 300 people, it was the "Liparitis Party" led by the great nobleman Lati from Georgia, most of them were composed of Latti's relatives and the old party, all of whom had previously lost their territory and were expelled by the builder David, who had a bitter hatred for them.

Gawain's confidential officer, Philaktos, was immediately on the side, facing Ratty. "The edict of the great lord and patron, if you want to take revenge and restore the honor of the fiefdom, is in battle today." ”

Although the enemy in front of him was General Trabzon, Lati didn't care so much, he drew his sword, "Vengeance against David the Builder and his bastard allies, advance, charge!" ”

"Hooray!" More than 300 cavalry of the entire Liparitis Party also rushed through the phalanx of spearmen who were trotting on their side, and collided and fought with the cavalry of the Trabzon peasant army that rushed on.

In less than a moment of fighting, the Liparitis party was slaughtered by the brave opponent, and several of Latti's brothers became the souls of the opponent's sword, and they did not dare to fight any longer, so they hurriedly detoured and fled.

But the great sacrifice of the Liparitis party finally bought precious time: the nearest detachment of the Gimagius Brigade was also the first to turn into formation, and all the soldiers shouted in unison, "For St. Paul! Then hundreds of the large infantry spears that had been erected were scattered on all sides, like huge blooming flowers, and the spiked iron blades stretched out in all directions, and then the four corners and the side of the shooting corps began to fire with a thud, and several groups of Trabzonpeasant cavalry that were close to them were hit and fell on their backs.
