"Zahir!"

When Adil led the mounted cavalry up the hill, he saw only Zahir's face with a rich gray color.

He called him several times before Zahir came to his senses.

Not only Zahir, but most of the cavalry under his command came from various chiefdoms, and their will to fight was not very tenacious.

They were almost frightened by the bravery of the Franks, and if Lothar led the cavalry in turn to charge again, they would have scattered and fled.

Adil rebuked in a fierce voice: "Zahir, what are you still doing in a daze? Don't you want to wash away the shame of defeat? ”

"Let this cavalry go back and rest, go and bring your own cavalry to support, we must get rid of this Frankish cavalry as soon as possible!"

Zahir woke up from a dream.

The loss of more than a hundred light cavalry, and the vast majority of them, were horsemen sent from the Tunisian emirate to participate in the holy war, and the impact on the whole situation of the battle was minimal!

Neither the Hejaz, Yemeni, Tunisian, or Abynesian slave soldiers were the core of Saladin's power, and even if they were lost, they would only curtail the power of those chiefdoms.

He led the light cavalry to quickly retreat, these cavalry had completely lost the will to fight, and staying on the battlefield was just a burden!

Lothar led the cavalry around and joined up with the cavalry under Baron Gofrey.

Their faces were filled with joy, and someone shouted, "Grand Master, why don't we continue to charge?" I haven't killed it yet! ”

"Haha, these cowardly heretics dare to hedge against us, even if we are empty-handed, our mounts can crush them."

"You guys are having a good time, but we can only watch the show here!"

The cavalrymen who had been left in reserve with Baron Gofrey shouted in displeasure and wanted to join them in battle.

Lothar shouted, "Don't worry, Saladin has more than five times as many cavalry as we do, and I promise everyone will be able to kill them in this battle." ”

"The cavalry that has just rushed is temporarily under the command of Baron Goldfrey, you stay to rest, recover your horsepower, and send scouts to observe the movements of the enemy's cavalry at any time, and be ready to respond at any time."

"The rest, charge with me again, and drive down the mounted cavalry that has just rushed up the hill!"

Lothar swung his armed sword, and a group of cavalry spontaneously followed him and charged.

As soon as Adil reached the top of the mountain, he was frightened by the crusader cavalry shouting in front of him.

"Won't these monsters feel tired?"

He didn't know that this cavalry was not the same as the one who had first charged, and when he saw Lothar and the hussars under his command, he subconsciously thought that it was the same one.

Lothar took advantage of the trapezoidal slope, and although Adil rushed up the hill, he was still on the plane for Lothar.

Bang –

The two torrents of steel collided suddenly.

The mounted cavalry, which had not yet mentioned the speed of the horse, did not quickly lose in the confrontation between the two cavalry, although they relied on good martial arts and high morale.

But the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them.

After this round of charge.

The Mamluk cavalry left dozens of corpses, but the cavalry under the command of Lothar suffered very little losses.

Lothar again led the cavalry, made a large circle, followed the path of the Mamluk cavalry, and flanked it.

"Don't let them run!"

Behind Adil, the commander of another Mamluk cavalry shouted loudly.

Adil had no time to stop it, so he could only watch as a new detachment of Mamluk cavalry, trailing the retreating Crusader cavalry, frantically urging his mounts to keep up.

But soon, they found that in the billowing smoke and dust in front of them, the Crusader heavy cavalry, which should have been in a state of retreat, had turned their horses' heads and killed again.

Caught off guard, a large number of Mamluks were taken off their mounts by their rifles, and they were quickly defeated, leaving behind dozens of corpses and retreating in disarray.

In fact, these cavalry that rushed out were another group of cavalry left by Lothar and commanded by Gofrey.

It was a hearty victory.

Two rounds of charges, at the cost of a loss of only a dozen men, killed and wounded nearly 150 of the elite Mamluk mounted cavalry.

You must know that only a quarter of all the Mamluks under Saladin's command were mounted cavalry.

The morale of the Crusader knights skyrocketed.

"Geng is straightforward, I'd rather die than speak!"

Lothar raised his armed sword in his hand and shouted.

The knights and attendants responded one after another: "Geng is straightforward, I'd rather die than die!" ”

"Protecting the weak is worthy of heaven!"

"The strong enemy is now, fearless!"

"Be bold and faithful, worthy of your Heavenly Father!"

"Knights, squires, horsemen, remember your oath, I know that you may be at odds with each other, or from different places, and speak different languages, but today, we are all knights under the command of the Father, for the sake of the Kingdom, for the sake of Jerusalem, for the sake of King Baldwin, until death!"

"Till death rest!"

The knights shouted in unison.

The Frankish knights were never short of courage, and even the Saracens, their sworn enemies, were described in the record as nothing but "savage and bravery".

Lothar was relieved that in the first round of charge, the knights obeyed their orders, and not just gave up, like Erha.

The hussars' striking feathers served as "flags", and the rest of the knights would spontaneously follow the hussars who crowded around Lothar.

Lothar led the team to rest here for a while, and his face changed slightly.

He didn't know that at this moment, the black Mamluk cavalry was rushing towards the sides of the crusaders like a tide, and the goal was to outflank the cavalry under his command.

But Lothar could hear the sound of horses' hooves as strong and dense as the drums of war, and he could also see the long yellow sand raised by the galloping cavalry.

"Knights, come with me!"

He didn't have to explain his intentions, they just had to follow the feathered charge of the hussars beside him.

By this time, the Mamluk cavalry had already rushed out from both sides of the Crusader phalanx, and they did not suppress the Crusader phalanx by means of mounted shooting.

Because the Crusader infantry led by Baldwin IV did not have a few Armenian slingers like the Royal Knights.

They included a large number of foot archers and hired crossbowmen.

The accuracy and range of the cavalry bow were far inferior to that of the infantry bow, and under the cover of the Crusaders' shield array, it was impossible for the Mamluks to stop their mounts and shoot at the infantry unless they were insane.

Their target was always the Crusader cavalry led by Lothar!

As long as this cavalry is eliminated, they will be able to free up their hands to support the frontal infantry to the fullest, and when the time comes, whether it is backing or backshooting, they can play a multiplier effect with half the effort.

In the home camp of the Saracens.

Saladin was holding a porcelain bowl and drinking a bowl of ice water, he did not meddle in the front line command at will, he knew very well that he was not a genius in military affairs.

Moving the spear up three centimeters was something he couldn't do.

Therefore, most of the generals such as Adil and Zahir played this battle on their own, and he could coordinate the overall situation.

The herald returns.

Saladin stopped the news and frowned slightly: "This Baron of Lothar is even more difficult than his father?" ”

In front of him, there was a field of Mamluk light and heavy cavalry that had been in full battle, and at a rough count, there were at least five hundred people.

The Saracen encirclement had already begun in the first round of confrontations between Lothar and Zahir's light cavalry.

"Damn, this is the whole army pressing? Didn't the Saracens know that they should leave reserves? ”

"No, you have to jump out of the encirclement."

Lothar's mind was in a hurry, but in the end, he followed the "beast instinct" and chose the most reckless path - to crash into it!

This group of cavalry ran here, and they were also sleepy and tired.

Lothar's cavalry and Frigila gave "hormones", but there was no one on the other side.

At this time, if you make a detour, the distance you have to walk will be far away, and if you are entangled by the enemy, the Saracen cavalry will be able to crush his eight hundred men to death by virtue of their numerical superiority!

"Whether it's a nobleman, a knight or a squire, everyone, charge with me!"

"Kill all the infidels!"

Sure enough, when I got closer, I could see that the cavalry on the opposite side were sweating profusely, and when they brought up the momentum of the charge, they were obviously much slower.
