Eagle Byzantium

However, for the "Grand Phalanx of Hermes", the jihadists who gathered hastily and fought with religious beliefs, it was enough to erect a Hetie flag for each phalanx of the "Five Limbs" to dispatch instructions. The limits of its establishment management. The early Crescent Army of Arabia could use "clan families" to replace various detachments in the army, but on this battlefield on the Sivas Plateau, the "five limbs" spliced ​​together by Turks, Persians, Saracens and other ethnic groups, There is no strong head movement at all, and it is simply impossible to use the former model.

In the midst of the turmoil and chaos, many people from various units of the left jihadist army came forward with various bows and arrows, and formed a team two hundred feet away from the front of the army.

At this time, the horizontal formation formed by the archery corps and the fire throwers attached to the brigade advanced like the wind, and the distance between them and the left army of the jihadists quickly shortened - five hundred feet, three hundred feet, two hundred and fifty feet. .

The jihadist archers hung strings on their bow lugs in confusion, and began to take out the arrows from their quivers, pointing them at the Gaowen Brigade affiliated with them, one hundred and eighty feet away, under the instructions of hanging flags. The team, during this period, they quickly ran forward another fifty or sixty feet: Among the burning match ropes, the fire-throwing soldiers at the front all knelt down half-kneeling and merged with the ranks behind them. The guns were all lined up outwards, only more than a hundred feet away from the front line of the jihadists. Both sides could see the eyes, nose tips, and teeth of the opposing soldier.

"Fire!" The feathers on the helmets of the flag officer centurions beside the queue were swinging vigorously, and the short spiked iron rods in their hands were used (the brigade affiliated team used this command, while the centurions of the infantry company used short halberds). ) chopped down, gave a short order, and then quickly stepped back a few steps backwards. Their figures were quickly covered by large clouds of nitrous clouds and The firelight obscured it, and some of the arrows fired from the thunderous muskets hit the bodies of the jihadists who were still preparing to shoot. After exploding fireworks in the crowd, they roared in armor, helmets and cloaks and continued to rampage wantonly.

Under the banner, Elvitz saw his own front line, which was a scene of people lying dead and people on their backs.

But before our side could recover from the attack, the clouds of gunpowder dispersed, and the opposing team of arrows came up with substitutes, and threw a barrage of deadly arrows at our side.

At this time, the front line of the left army of the jihadists was completely stunned. Some cavalrymen fell off their horses, some abandoned their posts and wandered around, some fell to the ground with bleeding wounds and howled, and some lay on the ground not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

"No chaos!" Elvitz also bravely asked the flag bearer to wave Hetie again, and raised his saber high, signaling the infantrymen in the rear row to come on as substitutes and stabilize their position.

At this moment, the ground began to tremble, accompanied by thunderous horse hooves rolling in. On the left field of the jihadist left army, Bramson leaned on the saddle, holding the gleaming long sword and leading the way. The red horse behind him Teams of hand cavalry galloped, the spears they carried behind them flickering with light, and behind them were the heavily armored cavalry. , like dark clouds and rapids, it passed by the left army of the jihadists in an instant. Many jihadists in the queue behind turned their heads and saw the afterimages and dust of the enemy's horses galloping past. They all screamed in horror, because everyone could see It can be concluded that the opponent's cavalry is going to penetrate between the river branch and the circular forest between the left army and the rear army, cutting off and tearing the connection between the five limbs.

As a result, the densely packed jihadists in the left army began to riot and panic. This emotion spread very quickly, faster than the speed of sunlight. It spread to the "Camel City" of the Chinese army, and they were also riding mules under the banner of Heti. Qasim, who was panicked by the defeat of the vanguard in front of his eyes, could not react at all. What kind of effective response? Everything he originally planned was disrupted by bloody battles everywhere. The camels were barking wildly. Under this situation, Qasim could only wave his black sleeves and keep shouting. He shouted to the soldiers at the Madam emplacement in front of him, "Shoot, shoot bravely!"

The Fifth Army of Hermes, with a total of 60,000 to 70,000 people, including almost half of them non-combatants, was straddling Chelei Mountain and several rivers and plains. In this way, they were brought into a situation of "fighting on their own."

In the direction of the left army, the spearmen of the Red Hand Brigade and the Guardian Brigade have been divided into twenty columns that almost go hand in hand. They rush out of the smoke and cross the line of the affiliated troops. The spears are densely packed like a rampage. The centurions at the front were running, waving their halberds and shouting, "Rush over and stab these weak locusts to death!"

"Stab them to death!" Facing the enemy formation that could not be seen in the distance but less than 20 feet away, the warriors in the front row holding large red lacquer infantry spears turned around and shouted to encourage the comrades behind them. The robes, and then shouted "Hallelujah!" All the spears were instantly leveled while running, and the flat spear points were shaking up and down, They were pushed into the bodies of the bloody jihadists. Some jihadists hugged each other in front of each other. The spear blades that were stabbed went straight from the chest of the former to the spine of the latter. They fell down in rows, screaming. , blood spattered on the faces and bodies of the brigade soldiers who kept charging forward with spears, and the corpses were trampled by pairs of leggings and boots.

Six thousand spearmen attacked side by side and quickly advanced nearly a hundred feet. Under their feet were piles of corpses of jihadists. Those who were lucky enough to survive were trampled to death or suffocated to death. The left army formation of more than 20,000 jihadists was quickly pushed into a concave half-moon. Behind the sharp trumpet sound and the forest of spears, the soldiers of the Gao Wen Brigade continued to curse and move forward with their weapons - the collapse was almost instantaneous. The soldiers behind the left army saw that there was a forest of spears in front of them and an unstoppable group of cavalry behind them, so they scattered and fled everywhere stepping on the long grass of the river branches.

The jihadists in front tried to counterattack, but they were either pierced and stabbed by spears, or chopped into pieces by the enemy's skirmishers with swords and scythes after they approached. Their bodies were like sheaves of wheat cut down after the autumn harvest. Soon, desperate cries and howls shook the fields. Cassim, who was in the smoke of war, opened his mouth wide and knew the cruel fact that "the most powerful left army was destroyed." Its commander Elviz fell off his horse in the chaos and was trampled into meat paste by dozens of his own people. His face was unrecognizable, and the left army's Hetie flag was also taken away and captured.

At this time, in front of Cassim, the Armenian Kibosha believers were also finished. This group of originally extremely fanatical troops, and the brave men who dared to fight were almost all turned into corpses in the upper and lower areas of Chelei Mountain. The remaining ones could only wail and escape from their left and right directions to the camel city. The whole hill was full of Gao Wenfang's border soldiers who rushed down.

In the melee, a Madam spewed out a ball of flame in panic. Someone shot a Bondak stone ball, but it accidentally hit the retreating Kibosha believers, knocking several of them to the ground. The chest armor of the horseman was hit by the stone ball, and he fell down and fell where Kasim could see. He died immediately. His body was covered by a broken cloak, and a dusty golden hand rolled beside it... (To be continued ~^~)
