Shields and weapons violently sounded, and the red-handed cavalry swarmed their spears and tribulus hammers directly into the emperor's array of heavily armored spearmen, a cruel tactic that the weak could not bear, but the first few teams of heavy spearmen were thrown to the ground, but they continued to be next to each other, shouting angrily to maintain their position, and some of the brave soldiers in the back also picked up their spears and threw them back.

"Woooo Brenus, who had just arrived at the left flank ranks, saw with his own eyes the horror of the arrows of the Emperor's army, they overlapped each other, took turns drawing their bows and firing fiercely, the sound of the bowstrings was almost as constant as thunder, those arrows formed a hurricane of iron and dark clouds, drumming over the field, falling towards the enemy's approaching spear array, Brenus saw many soldiers with huge spears falling in the array, but the rest quickly filled the positions of the dead and wounded, and continued to maintain a tight formation facing forward, some two or three people held a spear in front and behind, Began to shout, running towards the place and attacking.

The distance was five hundred feet, but it seemed that in the blink of an eye, Gawain's great spear array suddenly leveled many spear blades towards this place, reaching a distance of three hundred feet, then two hundred and fifty feet, and two hundred and ten feet......

"How many more rounds of arrows can our archers shoot?" Amid the earth-shattering trumpets and shouts of killing, Brenus asked the Bolgar mercenary officers around him, and the answer was, "You really know how to laugh, and at most you will have a salvo." ”

"And then hand-to-hand combat?"

"No, and then run away!" The officer of Nabogar replied briskly, and as soon as he had finished speaking, the archers of the nationalities of the left flank shot the arrows from the strings again and for the last time, and then they scrambled to turn around, carrying quivers and sabers, and running wildly behind them like an unstoppable torrent.

"Your Highness Penipas, run with this group!" Brenus came back to his senses and saw that the barbarian officer had long since run away without a trace, and this was shouted by his guard. There was a lot of smoke and dust around Brenus - the Italian veterans with shields and swords listed by Gawain in front of him leaped forward like leopards, slashing the backward imperial archers, and Brenus saw how several archers who could not escape were beheaded and cut off their arms, "Change positions!" I wish the term was a tactic rather than another way of saying a rout. Brenus also hurriedly rode his horse, and rushed further behind his own running team, and the rows of spears of the Red Hand Brigade pursued him and his mount's hips, and frightened him several times from his horse, and one of the guards beside him was not so lucky, he failed to control the horse and fell, "In an instant, he was poked into pieces by a dozen spears." ”

By this time, the fog on the plateau had completely cleared, and the time was just right for both camps - Gawain's infantry and cavalry took advantage of the fog and forced the emperor's army to less than eight hundred feet without being harassed by bows and arrows; The emperor's team of archers was also able to accurately and violently strike at the invading enemy after the fog cleared, causing great casualties to Gawain's team, and the entire battle situation was in a chaotic situation. In a minute's time, the emperor's two wings retreated far under the surprise attack of the spear array, losing their role in defending the emperor's central army: after the same time, the red hand cavalry, who had endured considerable casualties, tore and routed the three teams of the emperor's heavy spearmen, and those who lost their horses also charged on foot with their weapons and did not flinch.

Soon after, the emperor's heavily armed spearmen scattered and retreated to the flanks, avoiding the advance of Gawain's cavalry, and continued to fight with the large spear array surrounded by Gawain.

"The Emperor's Imperial Camp and Imperial Banner are right ahead, follow me and take it!" A red hand cavalry flag officer was bold and courageous, roaring angrily at the position where the road ahead was open, urging the horse's hooves, holding his spear like the wind, and he was followed by a dozen comrades who shouted in unison. "Rush, rush! Hallelujah, blessed by the Virgin! Even Gawain and all the rest of the cavalry were ruthless, or at this time, everyone's fighting spirit could not be cooled down at all, and they were all scattered and fighting with each other's infantry, so it seemed that this group of cavalry who fought bravely were even more fierce and invincible, they trampled and tore apart all the people and horses in front of them, and killed the emperor's purple imperial camp.

"Hunt this beast!" The Emperor immediately drew Athos's sword in front of the imperial camp and slashed it - in the grass behind him, hundreds of archers suddenly stood up, all of which were raised and trained by Alexios, composed of pure Roman noble orphans and children, who trained hard day and night on the shooting range of the Brachna Palace, and the sound of rapid and violent bowstring bounces - the red hand cavalry beside Gawain was constantly hit by arrows and fell from his horse.

"Long live the Emperor!" The three ambush fronts that Alexios had laid in ambush between the rear and the front in advance erupted at the same time, surrounding the red-handed cavalry that had broken through in the core, wielding long axes and spears, and fighting bloodily.

"Long live the Emperor!" At this moment, when Alexios pulled out the sword of the Holy Sea and chopped it down, his reserve consisted of 400 Plonian heavy horsemen, most of them rich peasant landlords of Bithynia and Southern Opshkin, clad in armor and holding maces and broadswords, also surging with horses' hooves, followed by serfs carrying short knives and throwing stones, coming to harvest and slaughter Gawain's life. At this time, the lightly armed infantry of the emperor's two wings, who had originally retreated, swarmed back to occupy Gaofu under the command and dispatch of the banner, and shot an overwhelming rain of arrows at the core of the battlefield, killing and injuring Gao Wen's Red Hand Brigade from behind.

Typical Turkic tactics! Use the advantage of your speed and archery skills to form a crescent moon to round up and annihilate the enemy.

"Gawain, you're just a beast in the end. I will slowly experience my skill in the use of war when you go to Hellfire. Alexios sneered and looked at Gawain in the distance: this great lord has fallen into personal combat, and the Turkic military servants are loyally guarding him, "Master, you are too impatient in today's battle. Muzafiadin Adin held shields to fend off the spears that kept stabbing at him, and said to Gawain, who wielded his Macedonian halberd.

"Really? The only thing I regret is that I rushed too slowly. Gawain flashed the spearman who stabbed him, and then hooked the opponent's jaw with his halberd, knocking the opponent on the heel, rolling to death.

The red hand cavalry behind came one after another, they were all good at fighting hard battles, risking death and bloody battles to break into formation, using riding spears and long hammers to beat the emperor's ambush soldiers who had already surrounded Gawain to pieces, riding high-headed horses back and forth and trampling angrily, the emperor's Varangian guards did not have time to swing their axes, they were often pierced to the ground by lightning-like spears, and those who retreated had no chance to regroup, and were chased and killed.

"Your Majesty, your ambush soldiers, your three-wing ambush soldiers have all been scattered and defeated!" One of the guards stammered, pointing to the ambush soldiers scattered everywhere in the dust.

Alexios' face was pale, but he still had the advantage in the battle - four hundred Pronian cavalry were coming forward to substitute and fight with Gawain's cavalry, while the large spear formations on the two wings of the opponent were firmly held and nailed, and they did not work well in the rain of arrows, "I am on my own!" After speaking, the emperor actually held a bow and arrows, took all the internal guard cavalry, and angrily rushed towards the "core of the bloody battle". (To be continued.) )
