In another desert, Grand Chief Saladin was leading his 10,000 elite men on a galloping gallop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info His main forces remained on the border to prevent the counterattack of the Svadia kingdom. And with him was the elite of the army, the Mamluks.

The Mamluks themselves meant slaves, young children, whether from Swadia or Kugit or their own nationals, and the slave traders were their first masters, assessing their potential and taking them to giant fortresses such as the cities of Sharez to be sold.

These young slaves, who were considered to have potential, were sent as students to study religion, literature, and military affairs at the various colleges of the Salander Sultan until they reached adulthood.

The training was brutal and bloody...... Riding Gun Training, Polo Training, Horse Bow and Arrow Training, Ground Bow and Arrow Training, Javelin Training, Slingshot Shooting Training, Fencing Training, Mace Training, Wrestling Training, Religious Studies, Hunting Training, Horse Racing Training. In order to survive, children learn to kill from an early age, and only a third of them graduate from the training ground alive. And among these graduating children, only the best group can become the top soldiers -- the Mamluks.

The soldiers kept dying and replenishing, but the Mamluks continued to accumulate, until now, the Mamluks under the Grand Chief Saladin will be 10,000 men.

The Mamluks were called heavy cavalry by the Kujits; But they are also good at riding and shooting; And armed with sharp Damascus steel knives.

In the eyes of the Swadian knights, they were light cavalry, but they were heavily armoured and could launch a group charge!

The Mamluks were a class of troops that sat somewhere between heavy knights and light cavalry.

It can charge like a group of Swadian knights, or dismount like a Nord guard; Like the Kugit Rangers, they can ride on horses and shoot arrows at the enemy; You can also ride your horse away after shooting a bow and arrow......

I heard that the Mamluks were strong in horsemanship, had good discipline, and listened to commands. After all, he is a slave and has a strength that is not afraid of death. There is no one who does not like such a good army, but not everyone can handle it.

The Ogo Gorge is a huge canyon that is the closest way to cross the desert to Sharitz. Saladin chose this path to return the game, while Anderson chose this path as well. The two armies unexpectedly met here...... That's embarrassing......

Anderson marched in command, the sound of horses' hooves resounding through the canyon, and deafening echoes everywhere.

"There is an army marching in a hurry! All soldiers, column crossbow arrays, ready to attack! Anderson methodically gave one order after another, and as soon as the soldiers began to set up, they saw the dust flying in the distance.

When they saw the enemy, the enemy saw them.

"There's an army standing in the way! Look at the equipment should be Nord soldiers! They probably didn't expect us to appear, so they haven't set up the formation yet! Brothers! Take advantage of the unstable formation of the enemy army and scatter them! When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Saladin commanded the Mamluks to begin the charge, again without formation! As a heavy cavalryman, the Mamluks will easily break through the enemy army and win! But...... The opponent he met was not a Nord soldier who liked regular hand-to-hand combat, but Anderson, who was good at mechanics, skill, and stratagem!

"All soldiers in a team of ten! Two soldiers half-crouched in front, and eight soldiers in the back surrounded the city in an oval shape and took turns shooting! "This setting is Li Youqian's original, ten soldiers in a group, but Anderson's men are faster, and eight people can complete the speed of changing crossbow arrows. This setting is a crossbow array set by Li Youqian to imitate the attack method of the revolver, and every second a crossbow arrow is fired, and the crossbow arrows are endless, giving the enemy greater damage.

Saladin's Mamluks usually fought against Swadia crossbowmen, and they didn't pay attention to crossbowmen at all, and underestimating the enemy was the greatest original sin.

The galloping Mamluks fearlessly charged towards Anderson's army, greeted by powerful crossbow arrows. The Mamluks were well aware of the strength of the crossbow arrows, and although they had high attack power, they were too slow to reload, and it was impossible for a single crossbowman to shoot more than three crossbow arrows from the charge to the approaching enemy line. So the Mamluks were relieved to charge boldly after blocking the first wave of attacks, and then they were surprised to welcome the second wave of attacks, then the third wave of attacks, and then the fourth wave of attacks, wave after wave, one after another, and so on...... The Mamluks in front had already been killed by crossbow arrows, while the Mamluks in the back were still charging one after the other.

Saladin was the first to notice the anomaly. The crossbowmen on the opposite side shot with great accuracy, they only shot at the rider, not at the mount. The mounts that have lost their masters blindly stay in place, blocking the route of the subsequent cavalry, and the forward army, which has lost its support, is also being further eaten away and disintegrated by the crossbowmen.

"The whole army stops advancing!" Saladin stopped the Mamluk offensive in time, "Collect the troops, regroup the army, and fight again tomorrow!" "Anderson's army formation has been formed, and Saladin's side is still rushing chaotically, fighting like this, it is proper to lose. Since this is the case, it is better to simply collect the troops and reorganize the army in the coming day to fight again.

.

"Chief, the speed of the enemy's crossbow attack is shocking, and if you force an attack, I'm afraid you will suffer heavy losses." The adjutant was apprehensive about yesterday's battle, and the most powerful cavalry had a complete defeat with an ordinary crossbowman facing hard steel, which made the adjutant's heart shake a little, and he didn't want to face such a powerful crossbowman again.

"Your heart is filled with fear! If we retreat here, all the Mamluks will be shaken! If we avoid fighting, then what about next time? The next time we meet, will we retreat? Then what kind of war are we fighting in the Mamluks, isn't it good to go back to the farmland and become serfs? At least it can save your life! Saladin paused slightly, "Moreover, the Ogo Gorge is the nearest road, and if we take a detour to other routes, I'm afraid I won't have time to ......"

"Too late for what?" The adjutant and the army commanders still don't know what happened to make their army, which is always open to the outside world and not allowed to return to China, return to Shariz despite the ban. Even the generals were speculating if something had happened to His Majesty the Emperor and that the Great Chief wanted to mutiny......

Saladin didn't say anything, he just stared at the sand table tightly, studying tactics, how to break through this inexplicable army! Where did they go, why did they meet here, and how much did they have supplies? There was so much to think about that Saladin had a bit of a headache.

On the other hand, Anderson had more headaches than Saladin, and he wanted to yin Saladin, but he didn't expect to meet him on such an occasion, I don't know if it was good luck or bad luck. Anderson has no way to retreat, his army has too many weapons and supplies, there is no way to retreat, leaving his ass to the enemy, that is really looking for death......

Anderson is methodically arranging his fortifications, and there is no one in the world who is more proficient in using props and terrain than Anderson......

"The crossbows are all installed, the archers measure the range and distance of the attacks, and the others recover the arrows. Only those who can defend it are called defense lines. Unstoppable ...... It's our graveyard......" Anderson looked up at the barracks across the canyon, victory or defeat, life or death......
