Chapter 461: Ironclad Oslo

Akon and Greenwing followed the army on the right side of the Muslims into the Tiberias, as this was where the actual battle against the cross would take place later. On the other side, Apdu's team and the fierce king Alimu followed Saladin's side, and without much effort, they rushed into the city of Tiberia, and surrounded the wife of Count Raymond in the camp fort in the city. Of course, they also received relevant combat missions in the newly launched Battle of Harding.

Although it didn't take much effort for Saladin to break through the impenetrable fortress of Lady Raymond who was besieged, the wise commander did not do so, and even kindly spared the breakout knights sent by Lady Raymond to ask for help. This was certainly not Saladin's demeanor, but he wanted the crusaders to leave their strong strongholds and come to attack him.

After the fall of Tiberias, the Crusaders had left the port of Acre and camped at the 'Fountain of Safulia', two kilometres south of the unwalled town of Safulia, surrounded by fertile cultivated land, with abundant streams and no shortage of water in the summer, often used as a base by the Crusaders. On two occasions, in 1183 and 1184, the Crusaders refused to meet the battle on the basis of their fortified positions.

Therefore, here there was a fierce dispute in the upper echelons of the crusaders. On the side of Count Raymond, who had military talents, he advocated the defense of Safulia, and although it was his wife who was besieged, it was doubtful that he had feelings for his wife. His proposal was well received among knights experienced in combat.

On the other side were the stupid but powerful Reynard and the Templar Commander Gerald, who tried to persuade King Guy of Jerusalem to abandon the plan. The meeting ridiculously denounced Raymond's advice as a traitor's treacherous ploy, believing that refusing to fight would bring shame on everyone. Looks like Saladin is about to get his wish!

With the exception of the Byzantine fleet in the Mediterranean and the German Teutonic Knights marching in Asia Minor, everything in the Middle East is played out according to the script of history.

Akon and Greenwing were also tasked with going out to reconnoitre, and with a dozen or so light cavalry, they went east as close as possible to the Crusaders' positions to check the enemy's situation. The task is not complicated, just look at where the vanguard of the crusaders is, and you can do it without touching the battle. Of course, there is a reward for killing the crusaders. More than a dozen kilometers of road, for the large army of the Crusaders advancing while fighting, it was very time-consuming. But with Willis maneuvering quickly on the Arkon Green Wing, that's just an hour.

In fact, the Muslim army has sent many small units like this, mainly light cavalry, to detect and harass the Crusader forces along the way. There were 7,000 men scattered along the route from Safulia to Cape Hardin, but so far no fighting had been heard, suggesting that Safulia's crusaders were still cowering in their positions and had not moved.

"It would be nice if we could create something and let the Crusaders move in advance." Akon stood on a high place, using a telescope to check the enemy's situation. As a lieutenant of the Tang Military Academy, he and Green Wing can be said to have too few people and horses now, which does not match their identity. But this is a Muslim army, which was the enemy of the Tang army in the past era, and being able to give them a dozen cavalry regardless of previous suspicions is already very favorable.

"What can you do?" Greenwing asked. I can't do what I think about.

"Knights are the most important honor, and finding a way to humiliate them should be able to stimulate them to hurry up." Akon sneered, "If the Battle of Harding had started earlier, the sea and land reinforcements arranged by the wise men of the other side would not have been able to catch up. At most, drag us and the Muslim army into the Third Crusade! ”

"How to humiliate them?" Green Wing gets straight to the point.

"Find a few lone crusader soldiers to kill them, strip their corpses, write Arabic script, and throw them in front of the other side's barracks, they will definitely not be able to stand it, hehe......" Akon laughed evilly.

"Then don't you hurry up?!" The green wings hit the horse and ran down the mountain.

"Hey, you're in a hurry, you have to plan ......" Akon reluctantly followed.

…………

It is an abandoned village, named Mariscalcia on the map, and has set up an ambush here, possibly catching the Crusader scouts. There was one in front of him, a sneaky lone soldier, and his behavior was suspicious.

Oslo had long spotted this group of Muslim cavalry, and it seemed that they wanted to set a trap in this abandoned village and ambush the Crusaders. But the location they chose was really uneasy for Oslo, and the abandoned farmstead warehouse where they hid the big barrels was too close to them. If these guys lie in ambush until the night, if they can't get it right, they will go in and rest, then they will discover their secrets!

No way! I've got to lure them away! Oslo carefully observed the dozen or so Arab hussars at the ambush site.

"Huh?! There's a strange car! It turned out to be a vow-keeper. Oslo became even more uneasy in his heart, "This is what the boss said about fortune guidance!" There must be a man of high fortune among those two vow-bearers, and my secret has led him to it. Damn the scene! Oslo gritted his teeth. I have to get them away, and maybe someone who has taken the vows can talk to them. ”

Oslo made a big circle, sneaking up in the area around Akon's ambush. Deliberately revealing the Ring Bearer's ability to change items, Akon Green Wing discovers that he is also a Ring Bearer.

"It seems to be a vow-bearer from the opposing camp." Greenwing whispered.

"Biedong, see what he wants to do?" Akon told the cavalry not to act rashly.

Oslo set up a simple tripwire on the main road of the village, which looked like an ambush to capture the Arab cavalry. He pulled on the end of the tripwire and hid in the broken house.

Akon smiled, "This guy is playing the same attention as us." After saying that, he made a gesture, waved his hand, and asked a cavalryman to go alone to lure the enemy.

Oslo saw an Arab light cavalry running down the main road, and knew that the other party had found himself and deliberately lured the enemy. Then he held his breath and pretended to deal with the Arab light cavalry.

The tripping rope bounced up fiercely, and if the other party didn't notice it, he would be caught off guard, and the horse would inevitably stumble. But the Arab light cavalry had already been prepared, and he was also very skilled in riding, and he skimmed his horse over the suggested stumbling rope. Turning around, he rushed towards Oslo. The Ring-bearer hastily responded to the battle, spear in hand and fighting with the Arab light cavalry.

"Everyone! Catch alive. With a wave of his hand, the hussars roared and rushed over.

The vow-bearer was so shocked that he hurriedly ran away! But how can he outrun the Arabian war horse on two legs! It was not long before they caught up and surrounded the lone vow-bearer. The guy was overwhelmed by the encirclement of the cavalry, blinded by the dust raised by the hooves of a dozen horses. Greenwing struck his horse and rushed over, pointing his crusade knife at the other party, "Lay down your weapons and spare you from death!" However, the ring-bearer seemed to be trying to resist, but was shot in the thigh by an arrow from an Arab light cavalry, and the ring-bearer fell to the ground screaming.

Several Arab horsemen dismounted, tied him, and brought him to the Green Wing. Akon also ran over, leaving the Arab cavalry to take cover, and he and Greenwing escorted the ring-bearer into a dilapidated house.

"What's your name and what are you doing here?" Akon was not polite either, shaking the Ring Bearer Ring on his finger and asked.

"You are also vow-keepers!" The strong man who held the vows exclaimed, "This is not our war, so why draw your sword against each other." Everyone is a mixed life in the scene. My name is Oslo, and I've heard that the Arab light cavalry often haunts this area, so I wanted to come here to pick up a few bargains, but I didn't expect to run into you when I first arrived. Fortunately, you are the ones who take the precepts, and if you were a real Arab soldier, I would be doomed. ”

"Are you alone, or do you have a team?" Akon asked with a frown.

"I have a few companions, and they didn't want to come, but I just sent them a letter, and maybe they'll come." Oslo said.

Akon Greenwing glanced at each other, "You are very confident, you dare to come out and kill Arab soldiers alone." It's a pity that your skills are not as big as your guts? How can a person run so far without even a means of transportation? ”

Oslo was a little embarrassed, "My defense is still relatively strong, everyone calls me 'Ironclad Oslo', and the team has a truck as a means of transportation, which is inconvenient to take out in a hurry." By the way, you also led the team out to reconnoitre, I have the information of the crusaders, let's exchange it, everyone will benefit each other. ”
