Eagle Byzantium

Countless arrows were linked end to end in the air, and they all landed in the forest of spears that were pressing down on them. They were the first three detachments of the Gemakis Brigade. The soldiers put their boots on the mud and saw the Trabzon Army on the opposite side. The arrows broke through the air with a whistling sound, coming like a torrential rain, shouting and shaking the long and tough spear shaft rapidly, while the gunmen and skirmishers around them lay low and lifted the forks and Shield raised.

"Pap-pap-pap-pap", the sound of arrow shafts and swinging spear shafts interlacing with each other was violent. The bent arrow clusters fell densely under the boots, and some pierced the legs and feet of the Gemmagis soldiers. Many soldiers were bent from pain He lowered his knees, but in the end he continued to move forward with his spear and his injured leg. As for the double-paid sergeants and veterans in the front row, arrows hit their breastplates and throat chakras, but most of them were unable to deal with this group of people. person causing any harm.

Then the large phalanx of these three detachments, shouting and staggering, formed a horn formation, holding their spears tightly high, forming an insurmountable iron wall that traversed the entire battlefield.

At this time, Theodoro Gabuas, who was supervising the battle under the banner of the Black Madonna, his eyes flickered under his white eyebrows. He saw in the large clouds of smoke and dust that the two large phalanxes behind Gawain began to turn their directions and separated. The formation formed in a checkerboard pattern, walked towards the road on its left, and began to pass through several forests. Passage, "Gawain wanted to control the axis of the entire battlefield, and then launched a spear charge in one go, crushing and defeating me... Damn it, that young builder David should also break through the defense line behind Gawain. Well..." Theodoro held the reins tightly and started to get a little anxious.

On the western slope of Sanuh, Gawain, his silver horse, holy armor, and black "captain" stood alone, with only a few guards and flag bearers accompanying him, "Great Patron, that The Georgian army on the border invested a large number of infantry and archers and began to fight against our army's vehicle barriers."

"There is no need to report to me the situation on that front. If David, the builder, can rush here, let him stab me from behind with his sword - I will keep my eyes fixed on this side until Theodoro Until he is beheaded or flees!" Gawain replied firmly, "Let the two warriors of the cavalry and archery regiments, Comaroi and Ogus, dismount and push the shield carts with arrows and fire blunderbuss!"

Amid the wolf-like howls, all the Komaloy and Ugus cavalry archers waved their wolf-head battle flags and horse-tail flags. They abandoned their mounts and walked as fast as flying through the bushes and over the small ditch, staring at the red felt hats or red felt hats. With their pigtails swaying, they swarmed to the front line of the three detachments of the Gimmegis Brigade, and fired fiercely at each other with the Trabzon Peasant Army Archery Team from the heights.

The arrows from both sides were densely intertwined, and some of them collided and fell together.

At this moment, the soldiers at the front of the spear array often had shots on their armor like hedgehogs.

Soon there were light shield carts with wooden boards erected, some with sandbags hanging on them, and then the soldiers of the two cavalry and archery regiments were covered by them, gradually firing, and approaching step by step.

When he saw that Gawain's other two phalanxes had begun to advance rapidly towards the street over there, and the formation was somewhat loose, Theodoro thought to himself that perhaps this was the most critical opportunity in the entire battle...

The old general raised his baton high, thought for a moment, then roared and slashed at the battle formation below, "Peasant Army Cavalry Regiment, attack the sides of the second large square formation and the third large square formation! The rest are all The infantry pounced down, fighting the enemy's first large phalanx, preventing them from supporting each other."

On the mountain, four golden and ferocious fish dragon heads pointed at the flat street, and the horns suddenly sounded - several Trabzonspor uniformed cavalry flag officers reined in the reins, and the armored horses under their crotches moved their iron hooves, Cautiously walking down the hillside, many heavy cavalry followed them with shouts, and then their armor swayed in the galloping wind caused by the unbridled surprise attack. With a sound like pine waves in harmony with the horses' hooves, wielding a long-handled caltrop hammer and a long-hooked axe, he crossed Gawain's first large phalanx in the plains of the stream (the Gimagis brigade's brigade). The front of the three detachments rushed directly to the flank of the second large square formation, because the opponent was following the dirt road between several disconnected bushes, divided into several sections, and maneuvered towards the street.

"Virgin Mary!" All the peasant army and cavalry shouted, risking their own lives and galloping forward.

At this moment, on the hillside supervising the battle at the rear, Gawain watched Theodorou join the decisive peasant cavalry regiment, and the scepter in his hand began to swing.

It stands to reason that now he should invest the twin regiments of the Red Hand Cavalry, which he relies on the most, to resist the opponent's peasant cavalry, allowing the second and third large square formations to reach their destination on the street, and then rotate the formation, so that they can survive. The spear-bearing forest moved forward in an indomitable way.

But nearly a thousand red-handed cavalry formed two large horizontal formations, staying densely and silently on the slope behind Gawain.

They didn't move.

Because although Gawain had made bold words just now, he was still a cautious gambler at heart. This red-handed cavalry was his reserve force for the east-west galloping battle. He should not act rashly, otherwise he would not be able to achieve a complete victory and achieve a complete victory. Defeat the expectations of the Georgian and Trabizond coalition forces!

Five hundred feet ahead, there is an additional cavalry team. Their armors and flags are mixed. There are about three hundred people. They are the "Liparidis Party" led by Lati, a great nobleman who came from Georgia. , mostly composed of Lati's relatives and old parties, who had all lost their territory before and were driven out by David the builder, and they all harbored a deep hatred for them.

Gawain's confidential officer Philactos was standing by and shouted to Lati Liparitis, "The order of the great patron, if you want revenge and restore the honorary fiefdom, it is today's battle."

Although the enemy in front of him was the general of Trebizond, Lati could not care so much. He drew his sword, "Revenge the builder David and his bastard allies-forward, charge!"

"Long live!" The more than 300 cavalrymen of the entire Liparitis party also rushed to pass through their own trotting spearman squares, and rushed and fought with the Trebizond peasant cavalry who came towards them.

A correct version in 1619 Book Bar!

In less than a moment of fighting, the Liparitis party was killed by the brave opponent. Several of Lati's cousins ​​became the dead souls under the opponent's sword. He himself did not dare to fight anymore and hurriedly detoured and fled.

But the great sacrifice of the Liparitis party finally bought precious time: the closest detachment of the Gimges Brigade was also the first to turn into formation, and all the soldiers shouted in unison, "For St. Paul!" Then hundreds of originally upright large infantry spears spread out in all directions, like a huge blooming flower, with sharp iron blades extending in all directions, and then the shooting troops at the four corners and sides began to fire, and several groups of Trebizond peasant cavalry approaching them were hit and fell off their horses.
