Saladin's troops, however, were much larger than those of the Crusaders, and they occupied a favorable terrain, with a crescent-shaped force, light cavalry on both wings quickly advancing and outflanking, and a combination of spearmen and heavy shield infantry in the middle, intercepting the onslaught of the Crusader knights and retreating. This creates a tight encirclement! Perhaps this retreat was also a tactic of Saladin, so that the super-effective knightly troops, out of the main field, could attack the archers in the rear of the crusaders on both flanks!

If this were history, then Saladin's tactics were undoubtedly successful, as the thirsty Crusader soldiers quickly lost their combat effectiveness. In less than a day, the massacre of the Crusaders began. But this time, due to the layout of the vow-holders, the Crusaders drank precious water, and the fighting qualities of the Crusaders were effectively reflected!

The hoplites of the Crusaders were protected by infantry archers, who were protected by thick soft armor. The archer's task is to unpack the team when the knight strikes, and to close the team when the knight returns. The task of the Arab riders was to harass Guy's flanks and rearguards, to advance and retreat, and to chase after the enemy.

But after all, the terrain was not conducive to the Crusaders, and Saladin did everything possible to lure the Crusaders away from the 'Safulia', so naturally he would not find a place that was unfavorable to his army for a decisive battle. Moreover, Saladin always had a camel caravan loaded with a large number of arrows and water, on standby. Thus, when the unfavorable terrain neutralized the shock advantage of the Crusader knights, the two sides were locked in a hard tug-of-war. However, the Crusaders, who are more adapted to positional warfare and group warfare, will obviously have the upper hand!

"If the battle can be dragged on for a longer period of time, and the water provided by the opposing vow-bearers is exhausted, then the outcome of the battle will still be tilted in Saladin's side. For it is impossible to supply more than 10,000 Crusader soldiers for a long time with water supplied by the vow-keepers! But the wise man of the other side is really powerful, and the backup of the crusaders has actually been found, and the time has been calculated to reach the battlefield! If the addition of the Byzantine army was not enough to solve the battle, the Teutonic Knights of the Holy Roman Empire joined in! Awesome! That's amazing! One ring after another, interlocking, so that you have no power to fight back! Akon sighed. Now he has finally sorted out the idea of the opponent's combat layout! But it seems to be too late! Because the layout has been unfolded, it's too late to break through the middle!

"Are we just going to lose?!" Zhang Fan asked as he rode closer to Akon.

Akon sighed, "We two wise men are not the opponents of each other's wise men, and we also have the help of you, a strong luck enlightener!" The other party is really amazing! We lost ......"

"How do you know that there is only one opponent? At least that Oslo who carries water is very remarkable, he can hide the sky and the sea under your nose, this concentration and intelligence are not ordinary people, and his luck is probably not weaker than yours! Zhang Fan encouraged him.

Akon nodded, "Yes, the ring-bearer named Oslo is indeed very good, but the main thing is that the wise man is powerful, these layout methods seem to be from the hands of one person, the style is very stable, the ability to control the battle situation is very strong, and more importantly, his scene status is very high, and his fortune and understanding are also on par with yours, it is estimated that it is the Templar of your Yujian." ”

"Okay, don't care how strong your opponent is! Think about what to do right now! Green Wing impatiently interrupted the discussion between the two men, "What does the opponent have to do with yourself, just find a way to deal with it!" ”

Green Wing's words startled Zhang Fan Aken, it was a word that woke up the person in the dream! Yes, no matter how strong the other party is, so what? The scene will not make the disparity between the strength of the two sides too great! Otherwise it would be a slaughter of the weak team! Then this means that your own side must have the strength to fight!

"When did the Byzantine army arrive in the port of Acre?" Akon no longer struggles with the other party's abilities.

"Maybe we'll be able to land tomorrow morning!" Zhang Fan thought for a moment.

Akon pondered for a moment, then contacted Patigul and asked her to find a way to do something on the crusader side to attract the attention of the other ring-bearer, such as assassinating a high-ranking general, anything to make the other party think that her plan was the same.

Patigul replied, "Haode, I asked the witch doctor Halik to try to assassinate Count Raymond or Gerard, these two guys are experts in warfare. The fierce king will also lead a force to sneak up on the opponent's archer troops, and the fierce king Alimu has a high status in the Arab scene. I'll find a way to go to the Seljuk Empire and see if I can get the Turks to stop the Teutonic Knights of King Frederick the Redbeard! However, I think the key is still on the Byzantine side......"

Akon replied: "I know, I'll figure out a way on the Byzantine side, as long as you can attract the attention of the other party's wise man, this guy has a strong layout ability, but I estimate that his adaptability is slightly weaker." If what I'm saying is right, maybe we'll have a chance to beat him in one fell swoop! ”

Then Akon asked Zhang Fan to turn around immediately, and when he returned to the vicinity of Akka Port, he would come immediately.

"He must have dealt with the Crusader troops in Rhodes by virtue of his position on the Catholic side after you launched a ghost fleet to block the Byzantine fleet, and asked them to assist the Byzantine Orthodox fleet to rest and replenish as soon as possible, so that the Byzantines were able to come over so quickly." Akon explained the possible layout of the wise men on the other side as to why the Byzantines were able to arrive so quickly.

"Hehe, I'm going to turn his hard-earned reinforcements into the deadliest enemies of the Crusaders!"

"What?!" Zhang Fan was shocked. "How can you do that? You know, I've just attacked this fleet! ”

Akon smiled sinisterly: "Maybe my Akon's overall view is not as good as you and the other party's guy, but when it comes to stealing chickens and dogs, plotting and plotting, planting blame, these tricks that harm others and benefit yourself, you two plus Patigul are not my opponents!" Hey hey ......"

"Do you want to ......" Zhang Fan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood.

"It's just a loss of money, as the saying goes...... Hey...... "Akon smirked.

…………

With Willis as a means of transportation, Zhang Fan's team quickly assembled near the port of Acre. Akon had Goblin Yoda get several sets of Crusader knights and soldiers' outfits and horses to dress up in the wild. After the makeover, it resembled a Templar crusader squad with followers.

After putting on the Green Wing's makeup, the group swaggered into the port of Acre, an important stronghold of the Crusaders. The Templars were in a high position in this crusader stronghold, and Zhang Fan's team reached the cathedral of Acre without being cross-examined. Here Akon summoned the Rat King Golden Spirit, and the creature was happily digesting the mountain of treasure. As soon as he heard Akon's call, he rushed here.

"What's the matter with the greeting of brothers? Did you find treasure again?! "As soon as the rat king came out of the earth, he stuck out his nose and sniffed.

Akon pulled him aside and muttered, "Brother is going to break the fortune this time, here's how it happened...... So ......"

"It's a big deal, it's on my brother, I'll arrange it." The Rat King patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll do it properly." Since it was the last time that the treasure was in trouble, I can't let my brother bear it alone, this stolen goods, my brother and I will also give half of it, anyway, this time I have done enough, and I will find a way to steal it back when the matter is over! ”

After arranging for the Rat King Jin Ling, Akon and Zhang Fan Luyi settled down in the largest tavern in the port, and inquired about the arrival of the Byzantines while waiting.

The taverns of the ancient port were always the place where information was spread the fastest, and all official and unofficial information circulated here. Nearly 20,000 Byzantines came by sea, and even in the Middle Ages, when information was not well developed, it was already spread in taverns. Judging by the reaction in the taverns of the port of Acre, the Crusaders remained cautiously optimistic. Because the Orthodox Church and Catholicism are enemies within Christianity, and there has been constant friction for hundreds of years, it is really inconceivable that this time it suddenly came to help Catholicism fight Muslims.
