Book X, Chapter XXVIII

"No!!" Vicos cried out in horror after a slight pause when he heard the shouts of the people in front of him retreat. At this moment of cavalry charge, we must not retreat. Once the people in front retreat, the consequences are simply unimaginable!

However, the cavalry in front of the team shouted and screamed too loudly, and basically no one could hear him except for his subordinates, and even if he did, there was no way to stop the tragedy that had happened.

Vicos thought to himself, beads of sweat slowly oozing from his forehead, a feeling of fear slowly rising in his chest, as if he had been chased by wolves before, a feeling of death that made his pressure as great as a mountain.

"Ahh

"Boom!"

..................

Sure enough, one after another screams and the neighing of the war horse came from the front, Vicos's heart instantly cooled half, he could already predict what kind of human tragedy happened in front of him, the bloody scene was inevitable in the battle, but it was a sad scene.

"Good!!!!!!" Abdullah, who was standing in the gun array, did not expect such a result, and shouted with joy as he looked at the miserable situation of the cavalry in front of him.

Even the infantrymen beside him, who were ready to accept death, screamed excitedly, and the desperate look on their faces slowly dissipated.

The moment the commander saw the gunshots, he was shocked to realize that rushing directly would cause a large number of casualties, and that the precious cavalry resources would suffer unbearable losses in order to deal with some militiamen, and he could not allow any qualified commander to do more than he could afford to lose.

So the commander shouted back, hoping to stop the charge from the cavalry behind him. so as not to cause casualties.

The original intention of this idea is good, and if it is properly directed, nothing will happen.

But the mistake is that this commander made a mistake in his order. A very huge mistake!.

After the cavalry in the front row saw the sudden array of guns in front, they would subconsciously make the war horse pause and want to turn around and leave. However, the comrades behind him were blocked by the people in front of him, and they could not see the appearance of the gun array, and even if they heard the command to retreat, they would not react. The suddenness of the command and the difficulty of stopping the charge of the war horses, the spears they clamped in front of them were thus under the dash of the war horses. Inserted into the body of a comrade in the front row.

The two war horses collided back and forth under the high-speed movement, and no matter how strong the horse beast was, it could not resist the tremendous force brought by the sudden impact. The two horses either flipped to the ground like this. Either the relatively thin legs were broken, and the mournful screams of the war horses were heard. The cavalry on the back was also thrown off the horse because of the sudden injury of the war horse under the crotch, and some people did not know whether they were lucky or unlucky. Delicate stirrups still hang them from the horse's belly.

"Flutter!!!" the voice of a cavalryman who was thrown away by his own horse and then suddenly suppressed by his horse. The body of the war horse was too heavy, and the internal organs in his chest were squeezed into minced flesh, and the accumulated blood was violently pressed out of his throat, spitting in the air, and then dripping down, staining their faces, and staring at the pure desert sky with godless eyes, this was the last time they saw the scenery of the world.

But the tragedy is not over here. Because after the cavalry of the second column inserted their cavalry spears, their own stoppage due to the collision of their horses also stalled on the battlefield like the cavalry of the previous column.

The cavalry of the third column is the same as the second. I don't know what is happening in front of me, I don't react in time, and I can't stop running suddenly during the run.................. Heavy factors once again led to the tragedy.

The screams in front made Vicos feel terrified, it seems that the commander's wrong order must have caused incalculable damage, if he didn't figure out how to deal with it now, even if he had the physique that the god currency exchanged for huàn was several times beyond ordinary people, he would not be able to escape death.

Even if he wasn't killed by his own people, after being thrown off by the war horse, the trampling of the war horse behind him would trample him into a blurred meat sauce.

(Gotta find something, hurry!!) Beads of sweat oozed from the tip of Vicos' nose.

The flow of fluid in the capillaries of his body became faster and faster, and Vicos couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The screams of the people in front of him were like runes urging his life, and if he didn't think of a way, death would be his only destination.

Some people will lead to their own collapse and despair because of great pressure, while others will get a little life in the face of great pressure and provoke this pressure.

"That's right!!" Vicos' eyes lit up, and the tremendous pressure gave him a flash of inspiration.

Vicos twisted his head over his shoulders and shouted behind him, "Pick up the cavalry!!!!!"

I don't know if anyone heard his shout, Vicos reached out and shook his hand and held the riding spear in front of him vertically, parallel to his upper body.

Vicos caught the horse under him, pulled the reins, and ordered the horse to run to the upper right.

"Yes!!

"Got it!"

..................

The cavalrymen who did not obey Vikos very much had to obey his orders at such a critical juncture, as they had been cavalrymen for so many years, they spent almost every day with war horses. Even if some people did not go through the suction of the warhorse, the superb riding skills could ensure that they fulfilled this order of Vikos.

The cavalry behind Vikos was divided into two streams, not only Vikos's subordinates, but also the other cavalry who heard this move did as Vikos said.

Two walls of flood water with great force run apart in the desert.

The cavalry were alarmed by the heavy death in front of them, and they did not continue to charge towards the spears, each torrent parted and circled in a beautiful arc, raising yellow smoke in the desert.

Led by the cavalry that had turned back in front of them, they avoided the guns and began to run through the desert, trying to leave the field of death in front of them.

"It's a pity. Abdullah, looking at the cavalrymen who had suddenly turned back, sighed. If it weren't for the sudden separation and return of this group of cavalry, perhaps without his hands, these cavalrymen would have been able to die at the tip of their own guns.

But he also knows how to stop in moderation. No order was given to let their troops attack the cavalry, and as soon as the cavalry turned around, the scattered infantry would be killed. In some lonely deserts, piles of corpses of men and horses were scattered on the ground, all of them in strange shapes, but most of them were killed by attacks from behind.

The noisy wind, mixed with sand. Slowly cover the body of the deceased, and it may not take more than a day and night for the corpses to be covered by the wind and sand. And then one day it turned into white bones.

No one could have imagined that even Abdullah, who was directly involved in this incident, would have killed each other and wounded more than 100 people before the two armies even made contact, and the commander who bore the brunt of the attack was also due to his own command error. And the first one died. For a soldier, being killed by a comrade-in-arms behind him is the most painful and sad way to die, even if it is only an unintentional mistake of a comrade-in-arms.

For Abdullah, the more enemies die, the happier he becomes, and there is nothing more rewarding than defeating others.

If Abdullah had now had a cavalry of only 200 men in his hands, he would have been able to guarantee that he would be able to destroy the scattered enemy forces in front of him, and only needed his leadership. Make a few charges. If he had three hundred elite infantry, he could also do it after a period of fighting. Sacrifice Allah with the blood of your enemies. However, now he only has 300 militiamen who have only trained for a short time, and as long as he can guarantee that his side is not completely annihilated, it is already a great luck.

Abdullah could only look at the cavalry that was gradually recovering from the chaos with a pity look, as if the fat had flown away at the edge of his mouth, and it was true, if he was given certain conditions, he was sure that he would be able to annihilate these cavalry, but the heavens did not follow people's wishes.

But even worse than Abdullah's pity was the shadow that hung over the cavalry. A sense of powerlessness slowly rose in their hearts as they received a heavy blow before they could make contact with the enemy, and the commander's death was a sign of their powerlessness. In the face of a group of garbage-like militiamen, it is so ironic that the Cun Zài, who had just been despised by them, should now make these noble cavalrymen so powerless.

However, thanks to Vicos's inspiration and the method of dividing the left and right, they did not make the stupid mistake of killing each other like the people before them. Otherwise, these 500 cavalry may really set a big joke of being defeated by 300 militiamen, and the cost of one cavalry is not comparable to that of infantry.

The cavalry regrouped after a roundabout journey, everyone was in a mess trying to reorganize the cavalry, but they didn't do it very well because they had just been frightened, at least, the formation became a little messy.

The accidental death of the commander not only dealt a blow to the morale of the cavalry regiment, but also made the group of valiant soldiers uncertain about the next action because they had lost their unified schedule. Will you continue to attack, or will you temporarily retreat?

A dilemma appeared in front of everyone. Continuing to attack, although it will destroy the enemy, but at the same time it will cause huge casualties, choose to retreat, although no one knows what the specific mission of this trip is, no one has told them, and the commander has not said anything, but just because a group of militiamen with only simple training retreated, not only the army will not spare them, but even they themselves cannot forgive their cowardice.

It is true that people are greedy for life and afraid of death, but sometimes glory is more important than life. Right now, for example, a glory called self-esteem prevents them from choosing the path back.

While the people were hesitating, Vicos took a slow breath, as if he had made up his mind, and gently patted the head of the war horse under him, signaling it to move forward.

"You!" a voice suddenly came from the cavalry, and everyone focused their eyes on the place where the voice had come from, to see who had made such a loud noise.

A young man who was less than twenty years old, a young nobleman who had just led them out of a desperate situation, slowly rode out of the army on a war horse, and walked out with slightly squinted eyes.

"Are all the glory of being noble cavalrymen lost because of the enemy before us? What is the sword in our hands? It is the justice that guards the dignity of the knights! They are nothing but a bunch of militiamen without rules. We! Every part of our body is there for fighting. Whether it's the right hand with a sword and slashing, or the left hand with a shield!'s roar of battle makes our enemies tremble, and our tall bodies are a wall to defend God's glory!" Vikos slowly rode out of the crowd.

Some people have already recognized it. This blonde young man with a strange appearance is the new nobleman from the Vosava region, Viscount Bosekcen, but he has not yet obtained his domain, Boseksen.

"Those filthy infidels! will not be able to stop us from wielding our slashing arms, will not be able to stop the glory of our advance! Kill them! Pagans are not people!!" Vicos shouted the loudest slogan of our time, "Pagans are not people"!

....................................

"What are they doing............" Abdullah muttered in confusion as he looked at the cavalry that had regrouped a few hundred meters away.

The hundreds of cavalrymen seemed to be a little depressed at first when they were defeated. The morale of the whole group was hit, but a young man rode in and out of the group, and shouted to the dejected cavalry for a while.

Although Abdullah couldn't hear what they were talking about. But seeing the cavalry that was gradually regaining their morale, Abdullah knew that what these people were discussing was definitely not something that was beneficial to his side. His original fallen heart. Brought it up again.

What the hell is going on? The other party began to lift his spirits again under the command of the young man, and more than twenty people stood up in the procession, riding behind the young man, then more than fifty, then more than a hundred, more than two hundred, and finally, all of them stood behind the young man.

A war subconscious developed during his twenty years of military service told Abdullah. The actions of these people are definitely not a good sign.

"Alert!!" Abdullah didn't know what the other side was going to do, so he could only give an order to remind his subordinates who got carried away because of a small victory. Whether it is valid or not depends on the instructions of Allah. "Stomp!" the sound of the cavalry marching neatly on their horses was deeply imprinted in the sand, allowing the yellow wind unique to the desert to carry this momentum towards the infantry group opposite.

The wind was a bit loud, and the regrouped cavalry had anger in their eyes, and they could not forgive themselves for the heavy casualties they had just suffered before they had even made contact with the enemy. If it weren't for Vikos's whim, these people would most likely have died at the hands of the farmer.

"Woooo These four horns of varying lengths are exactly the signals they have just prescribed, and as for what they do, we need to see the next developments to prove it.

A wedge-shaped cavalry formation slowly unfolded on the desert, and the three wedge-shaped corners of the sharp wedges showed the world the power of the cavalry, and the sharp cavalry spear was a sharp weapon to tear the enemy's body!

The wedge formation is a kind of formation specially applied to the cavalry, and the whole wedge formation is like a pyramid, which is composed of several rows of cavalry. There was only one man in the first row of cavalry, two in the second, four in the third, six in the fourth, and so on...... Each row has two more people than the previous one, which just makes the formation feel like a triangle. When the cavalry wedged into the enemy's interior, the sliced infantry was like a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

The first few rows of cavalry in the wedge formation are like the sharpest daggers, using their own cavalry guns and the impact of war horses to penetrate death deep into the enemy's body, so that the enemy loses the ability to resist because of the pain, and then the cavalry who follow closely behind will break up the enemy's formation like a flood, break the enemy's will, and destroy the enemy's combat effectiveness! It can be said that this is the simplest and most effective cavalry formation to restrain the infantry, it can be said that in addition to the archers, almost every cavalry has perfectly mastered the essentials of the wedge formation, even the archers, under the influence of the ears and eyes, also more or less know how to use the wedge formation, although they don't need it at all. The Archers had a different set of simple formations.

However, this situation is not suitable for using a wedge formation, no matter how strong the cavalry ahead of you is. If you encounter a spear formation, you will definitely go home, and those spears are not vegetarian. What exactly did Vicos have in mind?

"My lord, are they here?" Abdullah's lieutenant was a little strange Vikos for the purpose of pulling out the wedge. Normally, it would be futile to put up a wedge formation in the face of a gun array.

"Hmm...... Don't act rashly just yet, and see what they do next. Abdullah groaned for a moment, even Abdullah, who has a lot of experience in the battlefield, is a little uncertain, it seems that the death of the enemy commander just now is not a good result, at least now Abdullah has encountered a problem, what is the idea of this new young commander (Abdullah thinks Vikos is the new commander) is fighting you? Is it really here to die?

"Yes!" replied the deputy, then intently focusing on the situation on the battlefield. The battlefield can change rapidly, a small oversight. It is possible to lose the whole game.

..............................

"Remember?" Vicos said at the end of the wedge, facing the thirty or so horsemen beside him.

"Yes!"

"Remember!"

"We're the best fighters!"

"Okay, let's get started!!" Vicos looked at the dozens of fighters in front of him and smiled, he didn't expect it. The initiative of mobilizing these cavalry turned out to be so simple. Those usually cunning soldiers and knights, when faced with an act called "Escape is shameful!", actually burst out with a kind of death-defying momentum, is this the so-called glory? Glory is really a strange thing, it can neither give you direct benefits nor make you strong, but there are always people who are happy to get it and maintain it.

"Woooooo Two long and one short sounds were blown.

"Rush!"

"My lord!"

"Glory to the Clesmang !!"

The giant triangle (wedge-shaped) suddenly moved rapidly across the vast desert, bursting with amazing power. The horse's hooves kept pounding its weight on the sand. The tiny sand and gravel are like flowing water, falling as the limbs of the war horse are raised, and the rustling is first wound and then dripped on the horse's hooves like flowing water.

............

"Prepare to !!" Abdullah dutifully reminded his subordinates, in fact, he didn't need to remind them at all, these soldiers who had just won a small victory had entered a state of combat readiness again at this moment, every inch of muscle in his body contracted, and the green tendons on his face, hands, and arms bulged one by one. War is always the most effective way to hone a person.

"Goo......" Abdullah let his Adam's apple roll a little, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart, this omen was not inaccurate, this seemingly uncanny feeling of uneasiness convinced Abdullah, this is the battlefield instinct that Abdullah has always trusted, and it is this battlefield instinct that has allowed him to avoid the end of death on the battlefield again and again.

..................

Closer, closer, closer! The wedge-shaped awl was closer to the left gun formation, and instead of choosing the middle or right gun formation, they chose the left one.

Could it be that Abdullah's hidden gun array on the left has been discovered?

There was indeed nothing wrong with that, although Abdullah deliberately hid the gun array on the left, and hid it so well that even his mount, the camel, lay on the ground under his command, so that the wall of people could block the camel's body.

But it was precisely because Abdullah was hiding on the left that the soldiers on the left were more nervous than the other two, at least by looking at their hands clenching their spears and their nerves. As the saying goes, not afraid of powerful enemies, only afraid of idiot-like comrades-in-arms.

Therefore, Vicos made up his mind to attack the left formation, once the left formation was attacked, the soldiers of the other two formations would definitely go to the aid of the left formation, even if only a few people wanted to help, as long as there was a gap in the dense formation of the gun formation, it would be the time when the gun array was destroyed!

But how did Vikos get the cavalry into the gun?

Is it a direct assault by violence? The casualties on one's own side are so great that no one will choose to do so unless they are forced to do so. (To be continued......)
