Chapter 50: Night Raid
While the two of them were arguing with each other, a group of knights began to check their equipment one last time on the outskirts of their camp, about three hundred meters away in a place where there was no fire at all. "Plate chain composite armor, heavy cavalry lance, iris shield, helmet, battle axe, army half-phoenix banner......
On the other side, at the same distance, there were a number of knights doing the same—if one could cut through the darkness and look down from the sky at this moment, they would see that around the Arab camp a large number of heavily armored heavy knights and lightly armored cavalry armed with sabers had surrounded them.
"It's about time. After looking at the pocket watch for the third time, Egil muttered to himself, and then with a "chok" sound, the sword was unsheathed, and he shouted: "All men, all the righteous and courageous warriors who believe in Christ, charge with me, take the Holy Land, and kill the infidels!!
"Kill the infidel !!"
As Egil's words fell, the knights of the Guards roared, then pulled down their visors to cover their entire faces, and with Egil, launched a fierce charge against the enemy! The soldiers, as Egil had said, all the soldiers who believed in Christ, all the cavalry who had taken part in the night attack, roared with rage, leveled their spears, raised their swords, and launched the most fierce attack on the Arabs who were surrounded by them.
The earth trembled with the gallop of a large number of war horses, and the night sky suddenly brightened with the sudden light of countless torches. With Egil's order, the longbowmen in the other dozen or so outer positions ran forward frantically, and when they reached range, they drew their bows and arrows and fired countless rockets at the opposing position.
"It's on fire!!" the deafening sound of horses' hooves in their ears, and what they saw in front of them was extremely shocking, and the scene of fire and rain in front of them made the already demoralized Arabs panic and overwhelmed at this moment. They got up in terror and ran aimlessly, and the soldiers who had been shot fell to the ground screaming miserably, crying out for help. However, no one wanted to help them at all. At this moment, people are only concerned about their own safety.
"Attack! Kill all these heretics! Kill them all! !! them all" The Norman knights who rushed to the front roared, and when they entered the distance of fifty meters, they clamped the horse's belly, leaned forward as much as possible, and lay on the neck of the warhorse, and at the same time waved the reins desperately, whipping the warhorse, increasing the speed to the fastest!
"It's the enemy!! The Arabs became even more frightened when they saw the Norman knights who looked hideous and terrifying, even with their men and horses wrapped in armor. The soldiers, who had no formation at all and no resistance, were hit by the knights, or pierced by their spears, or trampled by their horses, or shattered by their bones. The Norman knights broke through the opponent's outlying positions without hindrance, while continuing to charge the inside of the camp.
"Quick, get on the horse, let's fight!" shouted Bibers, leaping to his feet, taking three steps and making two steps, and quickly ran to the side, where his horse was, stepped on his horseback, drew his scimitar, and then cut off the heads of the two soldiers who were running around in a panic.
"Resist, you cowards, fight the infidels and go to heaven when you die!" cried Bibers in a frustrated manner.
"The situation is already very bad! We should break through now! Go back to Jerusalem after the breakout!" and at this time, beside Bibers, Zhao Haier shouted.
"Coward!" the angry Bibers finally couldn't hold back, and as he roared like this, he swung his scimitar and slashed at Zhaohaier. Only a clash of gold and iron was heard—but Zhao Haier saw that the situation was not good, and he also used his scimitar everywhere to block Baibers's attack.
"Is it time for infighting?!, you reckless!" shouted Zhao Haier in the same rage, and as his voice fell, the screams and the sound of horses' hooves drew closer. Zhao Haier did not hesitate any longer, and shouted: "You still want to come with me alive!" Then he left Baibers and led a group of cavalry to break through to the east - the south is the Jerusalem area, and the other side must deploy heavy troops. The west is not far from the Mediterranean, there is no inundation, and the north is the territory of the Franks - so it makes sense to break through to the east. Zhao Haier made such a judgment in an instant. It deserves the title of a famous general. ...,
"Coward, I can defeat them without you!!" Watching Zhao Haier gradually run away, he then engaged in a fierce battle with a group of Norman royal knights. Bibers shouted at his back, and then heard a gust of wind behind him—and immediately turned around, and slashed with his scimitar, slashing at a knight in black armor who was attacking from behind.
"Good skills. The man snorted softly in Norman and said this—it was the Alpha, the number one knight under the command of the Norman Emperor Egir.
"Sneak up on behind, heretic, despicable!" Bybers scolded, swinging his scimitar and attacking him.
"Hmph......" Although he couldn't understand the Arabic spoken by the other party, he looked at the other party's angry appearance, and he definitely didn't say anything good. Alpha snorted, then used the armor on his chest to take on an attack, and at the same time swung the long sword in his hand and stabbed it at Bibers's chest.
"Oh no!" Bibers secretly screamed in his heart - this moment something happened suddenly, his own commander's heavy armor was not worn on his body, but the other party had a rather strong looking armor, and the weapon in his hand was a scimitar - only to hear the sound of "dang long", Baibers's scimitar slash only collapsed a little black paint on the Alpha cuirass, and at the same time, Alpha's long sword was about to pierce Baibers's throat!
"Fight!" Bibers leaned back desperately, while his other arm was raised upwards to block his neck. Immediately afterwards, I felt a sharp pain in my arm - it was the Alpha's long sword that pierced the arm - I am afraid that even the bones inside were broken. The pain was unbearable - but Bibers was much more relieved - at least, his life was saved.
But before the Arab general could be happy, not even a second, he felt pain again, and he put a rough noose around his neck, and then a strong force pulled him off his horse, leaving a red mark on his neck, and the feeling of suffocation, and the sharp pain of the Adam's apple about to be crumbled, made the general faint at once.
Around him, a crowd of Norman hussars cheered. A hussar commander nodded at Alpha with a smile on his face, then jumped off his horse, pulled out a rope, and quickly tied up the general. And the prey was snatched away Alpha snorted coldly, looked at this group of "inferior people" with disgust, and secretly complained that his own lord should not form such a large number of hussar troops - of course, despite this, this death knight still inevitably gave these hussars a high evaluation.
"It's a bunch of bastards, but it's a bunch of more reliable bastards. ”
With this in mind, Alpha turned his horse's head and rushed towards the spot where he was still resisting, looking for other prey.
The battle went very smoothly, just like the battle at the valley ten days ago. It's just that the original attacker became prey this time. And the number of enemies was not as great as that stupid "beep" German emperor carried. So it's a little bit of a bit of fun.
After nearly three hours of fighting, the last of the Arabs who had the courage to resist was beheaded with a single knife when it was dark. Immediately afterward, cheers erupted, and the Crusaders ushered in the dawn in extreme excitement. And when the first rays of the morning sun shone on the people, there were more than two thousand new ones in the desert, with crosses of the living, the dead, the half-dead, the half-dead. In the midst of the painful wails of these Arabs. The Crusaders had a pleasant breakfast. And Egil, too, as a victor, received the loser, Baibers, who had a broken arm and a dusty face.
"Chop off his hands, gouge out his eyes, nose, tongue, ears...... If I have any omission, you will fill it in yourself. After doing all this, throw him into the area controlled by the Arabs. It would have been nice to have that 'merciful' Saladin see it. "There were no inquiries, no persuasions, no taunts or anything like that. Egil said this to the general as he swung his knife and slice open a small piece of beef.
"Heretics—hmm—" This time, the knights of the guard became more proficient. Before the other party could say anything valuable, he covered his mouth, dragged him out, cut everything he could cut, sprinkled it with lime, and hung it around Baibers' neck in a rag bag...... In this way, while enjoying the screams of his enemies, he had a pleasant meal...... Egil at this moment is no different from the devil.
In this battle, with the support of the intelligence gathering of Norman spies in the early stage, a total of more than 20,000 Crusader troops participated in the battle. The main force was the Norman knights and hussars under the command of the Norman Emperor. Of the 5,000 Arab cavalry, most of them, were killed or tortured after being captured. The brutal Norman Emperor, with thousands of crosses and an Arab general who was cut into human sticks, proved that his strength and ability were far superior to that of the waste named Albert!
