() Under such an attack by Sugal's army, Attbury's cavalry began to scatter to both flanks, hoping to outflank the enemy from the frontal rain of arrows. However, due to the continuous addition of cavalry from behind, the whole scene seemed crowded, and many people had just turned their horses' heads and were about to spread out in the ditch to the east and west, only to be knocked into the ditch by their own men who came from behind.

At this point, the 10,000 cavalry of Atterbury, who was responsible for the first attack, was completely in disarray, and could no longer organize an effective offensive and could not recover from the original neat formation.

In such a chaotic battlefield, many people died by Sugal's arrows, but many more died under the hooves of their own people's horses.

Since the target of the horse is larger than that of the soldier sitting on the horse, the probability of the horse being hit by the arrow is much higher than that of the cavalry itself. As soon as the horses were struck by the arrow, they immediately went mad and ran everywhere, and many people were knocked down, and the mad horses did not care about this, but still galloped in all directions, and many of the fallen Atterbury soldiers did not have time to stand up, and were trampled into flesh by the horses' hooves.

Seeing this, Sugal's archers simply set their sights on the enemy's horses. All of a sudden, this cruelty spread through the ranks of the cavalry, and like dominoes, patches of Atterbury cavalry fell off their horses and died at the feet of their mounts.

It was only at this moment that Gomez, as the commander of the Atterbury Army, realized that the situation was wrong and stopped the subsequent attack of 10,000 cavalry.

In fact, the battle has continued until now, and even if Gomez does not give the order, the 10,000 cavalry themselves will stop. Because the cavalry in front had stopped their advance and huddled together, blocking the route of the follow-up troops.

By the time Gomez listened to the reports of the scouts who had "squeezed" back in front of him and figured out what was going on, the battle had been going on for about half an hour. Five thousand Atterbury cavalry spilled blood on the battlefield, but there were no casualties on the Suger side. For Sugal's defenders, it was nothing short of a miracle. And for the current Gomez and his cavalry, it was a nightmare.

Gomez began to feel the coldness and ruthlessness of Tang Xu in the winter of Luo Pingyuan. The battle situation ahead was completely beyond the control of manpower, and Gomez ordered the follow-up troops to split in two, bypassing the cavalry team blocking the way in front and going around to the rear of Sugal's army from the east and west, in order to form an encirclement of it and reverse the current battlefield situation that was unfavorable to him.

The frontal slaughter continued, but the two cavalry corps of Atterbury's east and west had bypassed the ditch and continued to penetrate diagonally behind Sugal's army. As long as the two cavalry corps could meet in their rear, they would complete the encirclement of more than 3,000 soldiers of Sugle. At that point, the whole battlefield situation will inevitably turn in Atterbury's side.

Just as the Atterbury army had completed the encirclement on the east and west sides, and was about to turn the line to block the retreat of the Suger army, a similar ditch was ruthlessly laid in front of them, forming a pair of parallel lines with the first ditch, and the distance between the two was only about a hundred paces.

The farce on the battlefield was once again staged, and countless cavalry companies at high speed jumped into it with their horses, but strangely enough, a layer of hay and branches was laid in the ditch, and the soldiers who fell in the middle were not much damaged. Moreover, with the experience of the last time, and the absence of abominable horses and terrifying archers on the opposite side of the ditch, many cavalry pulled their horses on the side of the ditch in time, and did not repeat the tragedy just now. Many of the soldiers who fell into it also tried to climb up.

Just as everyone was secretly rejoicing, the Sugal army in the distance began to throw torches into the ditch behind them.

In a moment, a wall of fire four meters wide and about four hundred paces long blocked the advance of the Atterbury cavalry, and also crushed Gomez's attempt to encircle Sugal's army from behind.

However, the situation on the battlefield did not seem to have changed much, as the wall of fire held back the Atbury cavalry and cut off the retreat of the Sugal army. On another level, Sugal's army was still surrounded by Atbury's cavalry, but from the original three sides to two sides, Gomez basically completed his tactical deployment.

The cavalry, which had been in front of the Sugal army, also began to be evacuated, and automatically divided into two, and immediately after the assault team, they also bypassed the first ditch.

Su Mi saw that the entire battlefield shape began to change, and he also mobilized his troops in time to change the original formation. Divide the hoplite regiment into two parts and block the onslaught of enemy cavalry on the east and west sides. The archers were in the middle, and the short bow used for melee combat was replaced by a longbow for long-range attack, and the arrows were replaced with a heavier arrow and longer arrow.

The longbow's attack is different from the short bow, it is the first to shoot the arrow into the air, because the arrow is heavier, so that it will draw a nice arc in the air, attacking the enemy from top to bottom, although the strength is not enough compared to the short bow, but its attack distance is twice that of the short bow, can reach about 200 steps.

After a rain of arrows, the Atterbury cavalry on both sides finally rushed into the infantry array of the Sugal army.

But to all surprises, the strong impact of the Atterbury cavalry not only did not break up the enemy array, but not long after the engagement, the array showed a hint of confusion.

Originally, due to the limitation of two parallel ditches only more than 100 paces apart, the 10,000 cavalry of Atterbury were forced to engage the enemy in this narrow strip of land only 100 paces wide. Coupled with the large number of people, the cavalry was crowded with each other, and many cavalry were even squeezed down the ditch.

And there were only more than 100 cavalry that could really engage the enemy, so the Suger army did not feel particularly pressured in the face of the impact of 10,000 cavalry. On the contrary, the fallen horses and the corpses of soldiers on both sides hindered the movement of the Atbury cavalry, so that the Sugal army not only showed no signs of rout in the face of superior forces, but became more and more courageous. And the Atterbury cavalry, who were huddled in the back and could not move, fell victim to the longbow of the Sugal army. Before he could see the shadow of the enemy, he was shot by a bow and arrow falling from the sky.

The battle began at dusk and lasted until late at night, and the battle for nearly two hours left the entire battlefield strewn with corpses.

After paying a terrible price, the Atterbury army still did not break through the two flanks of the Sugal army. The fear of death, combined with the exhaustion of days of marching, permeated the entire Atterbury army with an air of despair.

The Suger army has fought until this moment, and there are thousands of soldiers sleeping in this ice and snow. The array, which had appeared to be quite thick, also became quite fragile, and was broken by the Atterbury Army on several occasions, killing a few archers before being surrounded by hoplites who had returned to support. There was even an encirclement of the Sugal army by the Atbury army outside. And in the heart of the Sugal army, the strange phenomenon of several hundred Sugal troops encircling and annihilating the Atterbury cavalry that broke through it.

So far, the two sides are not only competing in strength and combat effectiveness, but also in the contest of willpower between the enemy and us.

As the commander-in-chief, General Gomez no longer cares how many casualties his cavalry has at the moment, and now he has killed red-eyed, but he is constantly investing his troops in the war of attrition.

His heart was no longer shocked in two words.

With such superior forces, it took nearly two and a half hours to destroy the 3,000 enemy infantry in the encirclement. He even suspected that he was not facing an army of people, but a pack of beasts, a group of beasts that were biting the Atbury soldiers and dragging them into hell.

But no matter how tenacious Sumi and his Sugal soldiers were, the entire battlefield had undoubtedly shifted to the side of the superior Atterbury Army.

The situation on the battlefield began to become clear, and Gomez knew that victory was in his own hands.

But just as the defense line of the Sugar army was consumed by less than a thousand men, the situation on the battlefield changed again.
