Eagle Byzantium
Chapter 42 The Fall of Faith
Then the emperor announced to the guards and generals beside him, "I have said that artillery and cavalry are the key to our victory in India."
"So how should we deal with the Song Dynasty in the future?" asked the upright General Branas.
Gawain smiled but said nothing.
At this moment, the gate officer beside the emperor, Muzafiadin, immediately raised his arm and held a flag-giving ceremony:
"General Gaia, take the flag. You will lead all the soldiers of the Komaloy Cavalry Regiment to defend this wing. The terrain here is broken and rugged. The enemy's left wing cannot attack in large numbers. You just need to maintain the front line and guard against them. In an hour, the Imperial Mausoleum Guard will take over your position. You will move to the back of our central front on time and wait for an opportunity to launch a pursuit of the enemy as a reserve."
"General Hajib, take the flag. Immediately charge the enemy's right wing. The Oghuz Cavalry Regiment must rush to the front!"
"General Sigma Army, both Red Hand Cavalry Regiments are under your command. In the second wave of the charge sequence, get the signal and charge forward without hesitation. "
"General Gaudi leads the royal cavalry in the third wave of the charge sequence."
At this time, Gawain rode forward and personally took the blue, white and gold cross battle flag from Muzafiadin's hand, "Everyone, I will not stay in the safe rear to supervise the battle this time. I will be with all the cavalry soldiers!"
"Romana, Romana!" On the right wing of the Romans, all the cavalry gathered under their own flags and formations, cheering at the figure of the emperor riding a horse.
Then, thousands of cavalry on the entire right wing moved like a whirlpool. Everyone wore heavy armor, endured the weather here, and silently followed the emperor's steps.
What Gawain said about the "cavalry victory theory" is to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry, quickly from the right wing, which was originally not conducive to cavalry warfare, through the central front, to the left wing of their own side, and then launch a fierce attack on the enemy.
This is the advantage of cavalry. From the Punic War to the time of Marlborough, cavalry masters have all adopted such tactics.
Behind the long straight line of the Roman army's central battle line, rows of soldiers holding large infantry spears looked back and cheered loudly at the emperor holding the golden cross flag. Behind the emperor were hundreds of cavalrymen who were also galloping.
About a quarter of an hour later, all the emperor's cavalry quickly moved to their left wing, and then formed a battle array to launch an overwhelming charge against the right wing of the Sindhi princely army trapped on the river bank.
The first to suffer were the Samila cavalry. They had no way to retreat and could only grit their teeth and turn back to fight - but now in front of them, it was no longer the previous small outpost cavalry, but the three elite cavalry regiments under the emperor and the royal armored cavalry regiment, with a total of no less than 4,000 people, and all equipped with horseshoes that could be driven freely on snow and soft land. At the same time, the skirmishers of the two brigades deployed on the left wing also followed their own cavalry, raised their shields and waved their swords, and rushed towards the Samilai cavalry.
"Allah, Allah, Allah bless us to kill all the enemies!" Ural roared desperately, leading all his tribesmen to launch the final charge.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" This was the slogan of the Oghuz cavalry at the front.
The cavalry of both sides surged towards each other. At the moment of the battle, the Samilai cavalry shouted "The proud descendants of the Gulai tribe", while the Oghuz cavalry shouted "The descendants of the Seljuks are here".
Then arrows flew, swords crossed, and countless brave warriors fell off their horses and died, turning into a trace of blood in the heart of a woman in the distance and two lines of tears in the corners of her eyes.
Under the emperor's personal supervision, the subsequent Red Hand Cavalry and the Brigade's skirmishers also poured in. All the soldiers were almost crazy, tearing and pecking at the enemy's body and flesh. The entire Samilai family suffered a devastating disaster. When they attacked the Roman left wing, they were hit by muskets and suffered heavy casualties. Now they were hit by the enemy's fresh cavalry in this narrow area, just like being crushed by an anvil. After the Battle of Marka Ferry, only 19 riders of this oldest and most courageous Crescent believer family returned to Tata City. In the official hall of the "Diwan" (the name of the Crescent Church's military colony) in the city, they were cursed by all the widows of the Samilai family. Feeling humiliated and embarrassed, the 19 riders all rushed towards the army of Emperor Gawain in the subsequent battles, and none of them survived: the Samilai family, which had lasted for nearly 500 years, was extinct.
As for the chieftain Ural, he also met a noble and tragic death. His body was covered with arrows and spears shot by the enemy, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered with blood. He still swung his sword and fought hard until he was stabbed off his horse by a red-handed cavalryman.
Then the right wing of the Sindh princely army was unlucky. The emperor's cavalry directly crossed the enemy's war elephants, which had difficulty in moving, and first broke through the princely infantry line like a torrent, and then went directly around the "flank" and "back" of the princely army's central line, inflicting a terrible blow to their archer team!
The several war elephants on the right wing of the princely state that remained in the sandy land became targets for the following shooting troops. The soldiers laughed and raised their muskets around the war elephants, continuously shooting lead bullets with bangs. The war elephants wailed miserably, bleeding from wounds all over their bodies. Some of them knelt down in submission until they were shot to death, while others angrily dropped the elephant sedan and elephant drivers, trying their best to trample these ant-like humans to death, but they were soon also cruelly executed by muskets.
When Maxianius, holding the battle flag, passed this bloody and sad place with the royal cavalry, and saw the dying elephants lying on their sides in a pool of blood on the sand, emitting noble and touching cries, he could not help but shed tears and mourned for them silently on horseback.
On the central front, when the Constantinople organ cannons stopped roaring and killing, the emperor's spearman phalanx also launched an assault.
Read the correct version in the 16-9 book forum!
The princely army, with its back against the river, was attacked fiercely from the sides and front. The uncontrolled war elephants were running around in the crowded and screaming crowd. More than ten spears pierced the war elephant ridden by Prince Rana from different directions. The war elephant howled with red eyes and rolled over, crushing dozens of tall soldiers surrounding the king. Rana and his followers fell from the high elephant sedan into the humble dust. A red-handed soldier jumped up, cut off his noble head with rubies, and held it in his hand.
Malwa was not spared. When he rode his elephant into the stream and turned to escape, he fell into the water in a hurry and hit a rock in the water with his head. At that time, brain matter and blood were overflowing, and the body floated up, and together with the other dense bodies of princely soldiers, it covered the entire stream.
The emperor's cavalry, exhausted and thirsty after the hard battle, including the emperor himself, cursed. They moved away the corpses everywhere, and did not bother to chase the soldiers who were fleeing everywhere. They jumped off their horses and lay in the stream, scooping water and drinking it in big gulps.
The pursuit mission was given to the armored cavalry and the Komaloy cavalry who were the last to enter the battlefield.
