Eagle Byzantium

Chapter 7: Lion's Crown (Part 2)

The drums sounded, and Prince Ruben looked to his left - from the direction of Mamistra City, there were three more strange enemy infantry detachments, arranged in a formation of one in front and two in back, with the flag in front The officers also lowered the square flags one after another, and the soldiers held up huge shiny spears and suddenly attacked their own lines.

At this moment, the prince's archers took their positions according to the formation, and quickly shot at the spear infantry running down the hill. The Italian veterans on both sides of Banda's detachment raised their weapons one after another. Shield Guard: Then, before the Armenian archers could shoot the third arrow, large numbers of spear blades were already driven towards their "eyelashes" with strong winds!

Amidst the roar, Prince Reuben could only ride on horseback with his attendants, mixed with the cavalry running around, looking at the Philamis River that he had waded before, hoping to reorganize the defense line there to resist the attack. These crazy porcupines. At the riverside, after seeing the prince's flag, the Armenian flag officers calmly issued orders. The infantry, spearmen, and archers who came after them began to line up in a deep formation, preparing to resist Gawain's descent from the hill. The impact of three bandas.

At this moment, between the front and rear fronts, Gawain's six hundred cavalry formed a fast-moving column. Under the guidance of Giovanni and Muzaffardin, they marched from the hidden area where they had assembled, their horses' hooves flying. Passed by, a curtain of dust and mist was raised that was enough to cover the outline of Mamistra City, and it cut horizontally towards Tancred's troops who were attacking Baldwin's camp.

Under the flag of the Silver Swan, Gotshilde was sweating and kneeling on the ground with other military servants, putting on leggings for her husband Baldwin. Around them, Frankish knights put on heavy armor and raised their spears and swords. The sergeants passed by shouting, "Show some color on these treacherous people!" Baldwin, who had already put on his chainmail, raised his fist and roared. "God will punish the Norman and Armenian gangsters, and you are God's scourge."

Then, holding the hammer, Baldwin wiped the sweat from his wife's forehead that was stuck to her hair, and kissed her, "Waiting for my triumphant Goethschild, you will become a distinguished queen in the city of Tarsus! "Then he mounted his horse, with Oden holding the hammer of the morning star, Burke holding the sword, and Gisselbert holding the spear. The guards on her left and right rushed to the battlefield, leaving only Gottschild, standing slightly swaying in the dust, waving to her husband who was passing away quickly.

In front of the defense fence of the second-line camp, the Frank infantry regiment that had been ambushed here rushed out. Using spears and crossbows, they bravely resisted the surprise attack of Tancred's cavalry, and fought fiercely with the Calabrian light soldiers across the antler fence. From various exits and paths, Frankish cavalry continued to pour out, seemingly well prepared. "Damn it, I've been tricked!" Tancred yelled angrily as he waved his sword around to block and slash. "Not only will we fail this time, we will be embarrassed to explain to the Holy See and become sinners."

"Your Excellency, retreat quickly!" Paxade and Hercules and his son rode on horseback, protecting Tancred in the center. Over there, Brad and Richard commanded the cavalry. They stacked up their kite shields and formed a rear line that was slowly retreating. They gritted their teeth and resisted the staggered attacks of the two cavalry lines of Baldwin and Giovanni, maintaining the shaky formation. .

At this moment, on the other side near the bay, General Orson's men. The "Holy Middle Finger" flag with a black background was erected, and they also fought with the Armenian commanders who attacked from Tancred's left wing. The entire two sides of the Feramis River were filled with flashes of swords. The sound of killing shook the sky.

"Brother, it's our turn." By the woods next to the camp. Looking at the fighting ahead, Ace Kallegos shouted to his eldest brother, "The battle situation is now in our favor. If we don't take action, the spoils of victory will be taken away by that guy Orson."

The other two Kallegos nodded, "The two brothers are also with Gawain now. The three of us brothers were stationed in this Sith city when we were young. Our lives are not as good as those of the fourth and fifth brothers in the Mut Valley. Xiaoyao? It’s time to ask dad to re-examine us - Ace , you take all the infantry and archers to reinforce Orson over there, and we take the cavalry to help Lord Baldwin!" After that, two hundred cavalry followed the two Kallegos! , also shouted and joined the battle group, storming Brad's Holy Banner Cavalry Company.

On the other side of the battlefield, when more and more cavalry regrouped around Prince Reuben, the prince, who was returning to his horse and running, saw with his own eyes Gawain and his great banner, in the gap between the enemy infantry detachments charging together. move When they arrived at Chu Xiaofu, "The opportunity has come, kill this wolf!" Prince Ruben shouted angrily, and then led more than 300 cavalrymen to fly in front of the spear blades of the Banda detachment of the Red Hand Brigade infantry. passed and pounced on Gawain.

"Goliath, come on!" Gawain seemed to be shouting at the Armenian cavalry who were rolling in like a tide, and shouted to Dim Hussehin who was guarding under the banner - Dim, who was wearing double armor, roared angrily. , holding a hexagonal tribulus hammer in one hand, and holding a large copper Greek shield in the other hand, stood in front of Gawain's horse, and lined up with the rest of the guard warriors on the small fu, using shields and battle axes to defend the commander impeccably.

The Armenian cavalry galloped over, and the spears split the air like bolts of lightning, hitting the guard's shield wall with bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang on the shield wall of the guard. The warriors all calmly shouted slogans and firmly occupied their positions without wavering at all. , “Go to hell Jackal. "Prince Reuben personally pulled the bridle, raised the spear in his hand at an angle, and shouted provocatively at Gawain, who was standing calmly and calmly under the banner. The dazzling sunlight came directly, and he faced Gawain's tall, black figure. Ying fiercely threw the spear in his hand.

With a loud bang, Dim Goliath stood in front of Gawain like an iron tower, and his round copper shield blocked the prince's flying spear. "I tell you, Goliath, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, even for the most beautiful girl." Gawain shouted, and Dim roared, pulled out the spear, and obeyed the general's warning, turning the spear tip, and shouting "Wow, hurry up", the cavalry spear was like lightning, straight over the heads of several pale-faced Armenian cavalrymen, and hit Prince Reuben!

"Your Highness!"

Reuben only felt a powerful wave of force, flipping and raging from the back of his mount, the saddle, bridle, and horse clothes shattered, all kinds of fragments and blood, dancing in front of him, in the wailing of the warhorse, the sky and the earth spun in front of his eyes, and the gilded helmet fell from his head. The uncontrollable force instantly threw him off the horse and hit him heavily on the ground.

When he struggled to get up under the protection of his servants, he touched his nose, which was in great pain, and found that his palm and fingers were covered in blood. The prince stared and screamed - but in fact, Goliath's flying spear only stabbed his warhorse to death, and the nosebleed was caused by his scratches and falls.

"Hyena." When the prince raised his head and looked up at the brown-haired and blue-eyed general under the red-handed banner in the sun, he clearly heard the other party's words in the shouting of the battle, which were directed at him. (To be continued ~^~)
