After this signal exploded, several flares were heard in the distance of the wilderness, as well as a cloud of light smoke left behind by the explosion.

At this time, there was a dull sound faintly in the far east sky, like rolling thunder along the shaking of the earth to the distance, followed by the horizon sporadically rose a few white embroidered yellow flags, the flag in the morning sun wind, revealing the red cross embroidered in the middle, under the flag, a thin undulating black line appeared on the horizon, stretching for nearly a thousand steps.

Finally the first platoon of cavalry leaped onto the horizon, followed by row after row, seemingly endlessly.

The armor on their bodies was covered with the glow of the morning sun, exuding dazzling colors, and from a distance they looked like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

The sound from the sky became louder and louder, and soon the whole heaven and earth were filled with the loud sound of thousands of horses galloping.

The captain looked at the vegetable-looking Gul and said, "We must find a place to hide and follow me, there is a river a few hundred meters to the south." ”

At this time, the two of them could no longer care about hiding their figures, and ran desperately towards the south side in the grass. Because judging from the coverage area of the cavalry advance, the position of the two people is exactly covered in the middle, if they can't escape in time, they don't have to wait for the enemy to chase and kill, they will be trampled into meat by the horses' hooves.

There are still twenty steps away from the river, Gu Li's legs are already weak, and the two are trembling, if it weren't for his life, he would have been lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and the artemisia grass, which is usually the best cover, has become a fatal fetter at this time, but as long as they hold on a little longer, they can jump into the river, and the chances of survival will be greatly increased.

At this time, the front of the cavalry array was less than three hundred paces away from the two of them, and the distinctive cross of the Knights Templar on the breastplates of the first row of knights was already vividly visible.

Moreover, the cavalry array had already spotted that someone was in front, and one of the horses at the front had begun to accelerate out of the array and rush towards them first.

The two finally ran to the river bank, this is a section of the scouring bank, because it is the dry season at this time, the water level in the river is low, and the drop from the river bank to the river surface is more than five steps, but at this time the two of them can no longer care about so much, jump directly from the scouring bank, and jump towards the river.

The knight who rushed out first witnessed the movement of the two men, and his face was slightly cold, and he shook his right hand, and the compound bow he was carrying was already in his hand, and at the same time, he drew an arrow from the quiver in his left hand and put it on the bowstring, and in this way shot the first arrow on the back of the galloping horse.

Gu Li, who was in the air, looked at the river that was getting closer and closer, and not only did he feel a trace of pride and joy in his heart, as long as he could successfully enter the river, with his water nature, he was still very sure to escape.

But just when Gu Li was proud, suddenly a hot liquid splashed on his face, he looked sideways slightly, and then let out a soul-stirring exclamation, because he saw that the captain who was also jumping in mid-air was tearing open half of his neck in his direction, and the broken blood vessels were spurting blood out like a pressure water gun.

Barely had time to think more, Gu Li's body smashed into the water, but the moment his body made contact with the water, Gu Li felt a heavy blow to his vest, and a tearing pain spread from the vest, and then his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.

After shooting two arrows, the knight did not look at the river, readjusted the speed of his horse, returned to his team, and followed the mighty iron flow to the west, aiming directly at the city of Eevee.

In the barracks on the outskirts of Ibrahimovic, the soldiers who had just finished the morning exercise were devouring breakfast, when suddenly a horn sounded for an emergency assembly, and the soldiers who were eating had to immediately put down the food and utensils in their hands and run to the meeting place, the whole barracks suddenly boiled, and the assembly point password sounded and reported one after another, and the officers of each battalion gathered the soldiers, they all gathered in the Chinese army camp, and soon returned to the team with the order, so all the soldiers knew a news, the Pope** The team is already on the way to attack, and they are about to show the value of a warrior and face a strong enemy.

Soon, one order after another was conveyed, and the entire barracks was like a huge ant colony, operating efficiently and orderly.

The cavalry of the reconnaissance battalion was the first to move, and reconnoitred in the direction of the enemy's attack in several directions, while the other signal corps galloped away in the direction of Ibu City.

Then a group of baggage soldiers was put into operation, piles of spears, swords, shields, bows and arrows were distributed to the corresponding barracks, and the last group of soldiers began to be arranged in accordance with the tactical requirements under the orders of the officers, accompanied by loud slogans.

The sappers moved the rows of horse-rejecting piles to the door of the barracks, lined them up, set up two rows in front and back, and set up several tripwires behind the horse-rejecting stakes.

Behind the tripwire is an array of heavy infantry spears, including javelins, then an array of light infantry armed with double-edged swords and oak shields, then an array of archers, consisting of a dozen or so heavy ballistae mounted on brackets that can launch lethal attacks against air targets or powerful enemy individuals, and finally an array of auxiliaries, including engineers, baggage soldiers, medics, and scouts. At the front of the heavy infantry phalanx was the shield column, a one-man tall steel shield that required two people to move together.

In addition, in the sapper array, there stood more than a dozen medium-sized trebuchets of various sizes, which were a significant threat to the enemy's cavalry.

The entire regiment had more than 6,000 soldiers, including 2,500 men from five battalions of heavy infantry, 1,000 from two battalions of light infantry, 1,500 from three battalions of archers, and more than 1,000 from multiple battalions of auxiliary arms.

The headquarters of the legion is located in the middle of the entire legion, in the light infantry array and archer array, and is guarded by hundreds of corps commanders' personal soldiers.

In the center of the headquarters, a huge yellow flag with a height of more than ten steps is waving in the wind, and in the middle of the fluttering flag is embroidered with an eagle soaring with wings, which is the military flag that represents the soul of the Hig Emperor, so the army of the Hig Empire is also called the Eagle of Hig.

The entire infantry corps chose to meet the enemy on the spot in the barracks, on the one hand, it could directly rely on the barracks facilities for defense, and on the other hand, the barracks were built on the hillside with a certain slope, which could reduce the speed of the cavalry impact to a certain extent.

In addition, a few miles behind them was the city of Ebrahim, and as long as they could withstand the first round of the opposing cavalry, the defenders of the city would come to the aid of the city, and the two forces would be in a horn to pin down the enemy under the city for the help of the Imperial army.
