More than twenty kilometers away, Akon could feel the anger of his opponent! Patigul told Akon the consequences of the Crusaders' discovery of their brutal humiliation of the corpses of the Crusader knights and soldiers. The Crusaders are furious! Even the conservative Earl Raymond could no longer make any more proposals to defend Safulia. Even if there is really an abyss ahead, these crusaders will rush through without hesitation!

"Shame! A real shame! This is the consequence of our mercy to the enemy! Never before has the Crusaders been so humiliated! These vile Muslims should be burned to the cross! Gerrard blushed and slammed the table and roared! The slogans of denunciation outside the tent shook the entire Crusader camp!

"Who else thinks we shouldn't take the initiative right now?!" King Guy of Jerusalem asked in a cold voice.

There was silence in the main camp tent, "Then I think this is all passed, let's attack!" The words zuihou were almost squeezed out of Guy's teeth, and a cross sword was thrust heavily into the city of Tiberia on the map!

Next, the impassioned mobilization speech added fuel to the fire of the Crusader soldiers, who had already been ignited with rage! If this anger and fighting zeal could be used against the enemy, then the Muslim army would have been routed a hundred times!

This time, Guy, who has always been known for his indecisiveness, felt extremely decisive for the first time! He enjoyed the pleasure of being wildly embraced by his subordinates once! Once the event is raised to a higher religious level than the political one, then all obstacles are clouds! Crusader kingdoms, united like never before!

Count Raymond, who was standing on the side, although he was also shouting angrily with everyone and denouncing the evil Muslims, his eyes were full of deep worry under his frowning brows......

…………

"Looks like your plan has worked! The crusaders will set out today. You've run far enough, haven't you...... Be careful not to get caught, you'll be torn apart! Patigul looked at the excited Crusader camp in front of him with satisfaction, and teased Akon.

"Haha, I'm not going to fight, I'll leave the rest to you." Akon is also very proud, this time to provoke the wrath of the crusaders, let them attack early, should be rewarded by the scene.

…………

The Crusaders marched three days ahead of history, under the call of Bishop Acre, who held aloft the 'True Cross', with the largest formation ever made, to march on Tiberias, where Saladin was entrenched! However, this 'true cross' did not radiate the surging light that boosted the morale of the Crusaders, even though the morale of the Crusaders today was already high. This 'True Cross' seems to have turned into an ordinary wooden shelf, and the knights who used to guard next to the True Cross can even feel that their bodies are always at their peak. And today, it seems that the cross is still slowly absorbing its own holy power......

Nowhere was it clearer than Bishop Acre, who sighed silently as he touched the cross, which he knew all too well......

Sir Raymond seemed to want to make up for his opposition to the attack, leading his knights to the front. The king and the 'True Cross' were guarded in the middle, and Gerald led the 'Knights Templar' and the 'Knights Hospitaller'.

The weather was surprisingly muggy! Saladin's harassment troops kept harassing along the way. Some of them are Ring Bearer squads with a higher degree of freedom, like Akon. These light cavalry roared to and fro, and did not engage in battle, but only attacked with bows and arrows from a distance.

This caused a lot of pressure on the crusaders! If you send light cavalry of the same speed to pursue the battle, it is easy to be divided by the opponent and defeated one by one! But if you maintain restraint, it will not be easy to pass through this vast arid highland in a complete formation! Except for heavy cavalry, neither infantry nor light cavalry could effectively defend against such long-range attacks.

As a result, the Crusaders marched very slowly!

In fact, even if the Crusaders wanted to send troops to pursue these Arab light cavalry from Syria, it would not be easy. Because the horses on which these Arab light cavalry rode were swift and fast country horses. Much faster than the Liliang ridden by the Crusader cavalry, the speed of the powerful war horse! This is the difference in tactics between the two sides, the less disciplined Muslims are accustomed to quick and free raids and guerrilla warfare, while the Crusaders are more focused on positional warfare and fighting with large armies.

Under the high frequency of Muslim light cavalry, the Crusader forces began to disjoint, and the vanguard led by Raymond had already moved about five kilometers away from the Chinese army. This is exactly what Saladin wants, because. The Muslim forces were now in a large meniscus layout, with a recess in the center and two flanks protruding forward, forming a large encirclement, gradually converging.

The heavy cavalry attack, which maintained a high pressure posture, left the hoplites of the 'Knights Templar' and 'Knights Hospitaller' behind, because their armor was so heavy that after a long day's march, the heat and thirst caused the horses to lose some strength.

And at this time, the first large army of Muslim organized attacks arrived! Countless cavalry rushed from the flank, arrows rained down, and the tired and thirsty crusaders were caught off guard and taken by surprise! Because at the beginning, the knights thought that it was still a small-scale attack of the opponent, and they didn't pay attention to it, and by the time it felt wrong, a large number of their own personnel had already fallen in the rain of arrows!

In the panic, the professional military qualities of the Crusader knights were reflected. Soon, led by nearly a hundred knights, the Crusaders launched a counterattack! The rumbling hooves of horses shook the earth! The two armies hedged against each other, each calling out the name of his religious god and prophet, and launched an unhesitating attack on his opponent!

Frontal impact, in this medieval battlefield, will always be the world of hoplite knights from the West! The thick cavalry spear, mounted on the gun carriage of a tall war horse, was neatly formed, like a huge chariot with countless long thorns in front, with an unrivaled momentum, crashed into the enemy who dared to hedge in front!

The cavalry of nearly 10,000 troops hedged, and courage was no longer the key to determining victory, because the huge impact of the heavily armed knights crushed the courage of the opponent along with their flesh and blood in one fell swoop!

For a while, in the center of the battle array, people turned on their backs! With just one impact, hundreds of Arab light cavalry were rudely trampled by the Crusader knights! And since the Crusaders launched the onslaught, there have been no casualties!

The Arab cavalry retreated, and with the same speed as they charged, they disappeared from the battlefield in an instant. Needless to say, the retreat of the Arab cavalry was much stronger than their offensive capabilities! It was as if the fearless attack just now was just to prepare for this moment of escape. This made the Crusader knights who had just warmed up very unaccustomed to it, and their strength seemed to have nowhere to vent, turning into a full of fire burning their throats. It's fucking hot! I'm dying of thirst!

You know, the medieval hoplites wore a tight-fitting leather suit under heavy armor, and in order to prevent the sun from burning their steel armor and burning their skin, they also had to cover the armor with a battle robe. This summer in the Middle East, is very scary! And the heavily armored knight in so many clothes just had a vigorous workout! This makes their armor already drenched in sweat and smells incredible! This kind of chronic injury is far more uncomfortable than rushing to kill on the battlefield and being injured by the enemy's sword!

What's more, this weapon rack has enough weapons to kill the enemy, but it doesn't carry a water bladder. They thought that a day's march would quickly reach a place where there was a source of water. As a result, this small negligence caused the mighty crusaders to lose this important battle in history, and it was completely annihilated!

And the Muslim army, which has lived and fought in the desert Gobi for a long time, has always believed that the water bladder is their second life. Even on the wettest battlefield, they never forget to bring a skin filled with clean water!

The Arab cavalry that retreated quickly did not really escape, and another wave of light cavalry rushed over again as soon as the knights returned, this time, they did not fight the opponent head-on, and the scene just now made them too impressed by the attack power of these heavily armored knights! The Arab light cavalry, whistling and firing a rain of arrows, turned and ran as the Crusader hoplites had just formed an attack formation! Only a cloud of dust and some horse manure was left for the chasing hoppy knights!
