By now that the battle had begun, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Ilhan Hulegu no longer has the spirit of the moment when the war began, and he is "crazy". He was really scared.

It would be nice to be able to crush the Norman army and recapture the woman you love. But if it fails. Then there is no possibility of turning over. Hülegü came to his senses for a moment. I know that I have no chance of winning. He's now completely dismissed the idea of attacking, or something like that. And the decision was made. Be as defensive as possible in the rest of the battle. Defend well and get through today's battle. Plan for that later.

And can the huge number of hundreds of thousands of Arab conscripts help him solve his problems and stop the unstoppable charge of the Norman cavalry? The answer is obviously "no." If they were to fight with the Norman infantry, I'm afraid it would be slightly better. Although the hope of winning is slim. But Hülegü was sure that with his own means, he would defend himself to the death and ensure that his front was not torn apart. It's okay to end up with a tie.

But if it's the charge of the Norman Iron Horseman...... I'm afraid these Arab conscripts won't last a round.

I figured it out, albeit reluctantly. But Hulegü still gave the order, and he demanded that the ace troops under his command, he had exhausted the elite army built by the khanate, and the Khan's Praetorian Guard heavy cavalry was dispatched. Stop the Norman cavalry that is assembling in front of you, and may charge your infantry at any time.

With Hülegü's order. The three thousand Khan guards responded one by one. Quickly, and methodically, began to move towards the front. Such a move has taken on a slight disciplinary and organizational surname. This surprised Marshal Erse, who was holding a telescope in his hand.

"This army already has a little bit of the rudiments of a modern army. And the equipment has also reached the top level of plate chain composite armor. Sure enough, the strategy of luring this force out first was correct. Marshal Ers sneered in his heart: "Just drag this army down." Then there is no longer a strong enough mobile force to change the whole situation of the war. ”

Guided by such strategic thinking, Marshal Ers, in order to further mislead his opponents, made Hülegü make wrong judgments. He took the lead, and when the cavalry troops had not yet been assembled, he forcibly gave the order to charge. This will not be able to exert its maximum power. But after all, this was not the strategic purpose that Marshal Ouss wanted. He did not count on how many enemies this group of cavalry would kill. So you don't need to care about the power.

"Hurry up! those Normans are coming!!" Seeing the Norman cavalry launch a frontal charge. On the other side, Hulegu shouted angrily, asking his Khan to guard the heavy cavalry and speed up the advance. The herald quickly told the heavy cavalry ahead what the khan meant.

So these people did not wait for the Arab soldiers in front of them to get out of the way, but took the initiative and forced their way over. Even if you mess up the formation of these people, you don't hesitate to do it. Even in the midst of the chaos, quite a few Arab conscripts were wounded.

Watching this scene. Marshal Erth's smile grew brighter and brighter—even though his face was ugly, and the smile became more and more ugly...... Because of these extraordinary measures. In the last of the last. This group of Khan guards still stood in front of the Norman cavalry group. And likewise launched a charge, charging against charging. Forcefully stopped this attack of the Normans.

The Norman cavalry units are very interesting in their sequence. According to Marshal Erus's intentions, he put all the Norman knights of the four centurians in the first column. The hussars were mixed with heavy cavalry from the four provinces of Flanders. Put the last four columns.

The Norman hussars were brave but slightly lighter. And the heavy cavalry from Italy, France, although equipped with heavy chain mail, plate chain composite armor. But the combat effectiveness is slightly inferior. Therefore, in the front row, it was the Norman knights who were responsible for the first round of attack missions. It's a Norman knight wearing full-body plate armor and a war horse equipped with plate armor under his crotch! It can only be these Norman knights who shine from top to bottom!!

Both sides are the top heavy cavalry in their respective countries. Whether it's a Norman knight in full plate armor, or a Khan Praetorian Heavy Cavalry in a composite armor of plate chains. They are all strong soldiers that both monarchs are proud of. As a synonym for victory on the battlefield, it exists as an embodiment of death. And this time, the two armies collided violently and violently! It was like a thunderbolt triggering a fire on the earth, producing a violent explosion!

The Norman knights were armed with heavy cavalry spears that were longer, heavier, and more lethal than the spears of the Khan's guards. As a result, they outlived their opponents by about 0.01 second.

Miscalculated. These knights had been trained to do so, and their reflexes were extremely sharp. And he is also extremely agile. It is possible to find the target in a split second, such as when two horses are charging rapidly, and correct the angle of their mounted spears. At the same time, dodge the opponent's attack to save your life. This is the skill of the Norman knights. It is also their best way to win when they compete with other opponents' heavy cavalry and charge each other. With this stunt, they were able to greatly reduce casualties.

This time, however, it didn't. Because this time, they faced the best of the world's elite heavy cavalry. The combat effectiveness of these people far exceeded that of the Norman knights' previous opponents. More than the Mongol heavy cavalry of the Mongol Khanate in its heyday. Even to some extent, it surpassed the two trump cards that the Mongols were proud of, the Cowardly Xue Army and the Proton Army.

Such a terrifying opponent. Not to be frustrated by a little trick by the Norman knights. When the knights make a judgment based on the moves they have trained countless times and performed in actual combat, and want to dodge the opponent's spear. At that moment, the angle of the spearhead of those Mongols also deflected a little! And it was just this little deflection that corrected their attack point, so that the assassination that should have been missed was directly pierced into the heart of the Norman knight!

It's been a long time. Even the Norman knights could barely remember. It's been so long since they've met an opponent like this who can fight them and not fall behind!!

At the front line, the few surviving Norman knights, who had barely escaped the serpent-like assassination of the other party, let out a howl as a wolf, with a hint of grief and excitement. They let go of the cavalry spears that had pierced their opponents' bodies. Then he drew his tomahawk and rushed through the gap in the opponent's array, slashing wildly at his opponent. The madness of the Normans, which belonged to the Nordic Viking bloodline, which was covered up by iron-blooded discipline, was completely stimulated at this moment because of the extremely serious stimulation!

Infected, the Norman hussars let out the same terrible howl, and rode forward, desperately trying to squeeze through and participate in this feast of flesh and blood...... This puzzled the heavy cavalry from France and Italy. They couldn't figure out how the soldiers of the regular army had exploded all at once! Although the fighting on the front line had just begun, the severity of the tragedy still made the scalps of these people who usually boasted of their bravery tingle. If it weren't for the strict training they usually received, they would have maintained a high level of discipline. Then at this moment, I am afraid that they will not even have the courage to step forward to fight.

"This is really ......" Marshal Ers saw the frontal battlefield, and as soon as the heavy cavalry of the two sides fought, half of his knights in the first row were lost. Two hundred or so Norman knights who were about to die were poked out of a transparent hole without snorting, and the dead could not die again.

Marshal Ace only felt his heart "flicker" for a moment, and almost didn't carry it—these were two hundred elite knights! Two hundred! They were flesh from head to toe, and were worth almost as much as the same weight of silver! Two hundred died at once! Although Marshal Ers's mind was like iron, he also felt a terrible pain. I secretly regret it in my heart, if I knew that this was the result. Then it would be better to let those French and Italian heavy cavalry stand in the first row!

Marshal Erth's heart ached terribly. Over there, Hülegü was also uncomfortable and wanted to die. Seeing his most precious Praetorian Heavy Cavalry, these top hearts fell to the ground like wheat one by one. He almost fainted, too. This is an army that he organized after all his family and fortunes! And the soldiers are the Mongol warriors who have survived a hundred battles! After fighting one, there will be one less.

At this moment, the commanders of both sides were heartbroken, plus secretly regretted. However, the battle will continue. The two sides fought a real fire. They all desperately want to put each other to death. And in this way, Marshal Ers secretly screamed "not good". The opponent's elite heavy cavalry was 3,000! While his own knights were only 400! Neither the hussars nor the conscripted heavy cavalry could compete with the Mongol guards.

Marshal Uss saw it in his heart, and immediately had a plan. He shouted with great vigor, "All the troops march!" and the guards around them sounded loudly. The 80,000 infantry of the front line immediately rushed forward. Prepare to join the chaos of the battlefield. Aid your cavalry troops, and at the same time detonate the flames of war!

"All march!" and watched as the Normans charged. On the other side, Ilhan Hulegu let out the same roar. The Normans pressed on all fronts, so the way to deal with them could only be the same, attacking all fronts!

In an instant, the two armies were like two torrents on one side, rushing towards each other. Joined the ranks of the cavalry units in the middle of the battlefield, where the two sides were fighting. The battle on the outskirts of Jerusalem entered the decisive moment......
