In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility.

"Zahir!"

When Adil led the armored cavalry to rush up the hillside, he only saw a rich gray color on Zahir's face.

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

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

They saw the bravery of the Franks and were almost frightened. If Lothar led the cavalry to charge again, they would definitely flee.

Adil scolded sternly: "Zahir, what are you still doing? Don't you want to wash away the shame of defeat?"

"Let this cavalry go back to rest and bring your own cavalry to support. We must deal with this Frank cavalry as soon as possible!"

Zahir woke up from a dream.

The loss of just over a hundred light cavalry, and most of them were horsemen sent from the Tunisian chiefdom to participate in the jihad, had a minimal impact on the entire battle!

Whether it is the black slave soldiers in Hijaz, Yemen, Tunisia or Abyssinia, they are not Saladin's core strength. Even if they are lost, they will only reduce the power of those chiefdoms.

He led the light cavalry to retreat quickly. These cavalry had completely lost their will to fight and were just a burden if they stayed on the battlefield!

Lothar led the cavalry in a circle and joined the cavalry troops led by Baron Godfrey.

Their faces were filled with joy, and someone shouted loudly: "Grand Commander, why don't we continue to charge? I haven't had enough of killing yet!"

"Haha, these cowardly pagans actually dare to confront us. Even if we are empty-handed, our mounts can crush them."

"You guys are having so much fun, but we can only watch the show here!"

The cavalry who followed Baron Godfrey as a reserve team shouted dissatisfied and wanted to join the battle.

Lothar shouted: "Don't worry, Saladin's cavalry is more than five times as many as ours. I guarantee that everyone will have a satisfying killing in this battle."

"The cavalry that has just passed through is temporarily under the command of Baron Godfrey. You can stay and rest, restore your horse power, and send out scouts to observe the movements of the enemy's cavalry at any time and be ready to respond at any time."

"The rest of you, follow me and charge again to drive down the armored cavalry who just rushed up the hillside!"

Lothar waved the armed sword in his hand, 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 crusaders cavalry who were shouting and fighting in front of him.

"Don't these monsters feel tired?"

He didn't know that this cavalry was not the same one that launched the charge for the first time. When he saw Lothar and the winged cavalry under his command, he subconsciously thought that they were the same cavalry.

Lothar took advantage of the trapezoidal slope. Although Adil rushed to the top of the mountain, for Lothar, he was still on a flat surface.

boom--

The two steel torrents suddenly collided.

Not to mention the speed of the armored cavalry, in the confrontation between the two cavalry, although they relied on their good martial arts and high morale, they were not defeated quickly.

But the situation became increasingly unfavorable for them.

After this round of charge.

The Mamluk cavalry left behind dozens of corpses, but the losses of Lothar's cavalry were minimal.

Lothar once again led the cavalry in a large circle, following the path of the Mamluk cavalry and flanking them.

"Don't let them get away!"

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

Adil had no time to stop him and could only watch helplessly as a new group of Mamluk cavalry followed the retreating Crusaders cavalry and frantically urged their mounts to keep up.

But soon, they discovered that in the billowing smoke in front of them, the Crusader heavy cavalry that was supposed to be in retreat had unexpectedly turned its horse around and came out again.

Caught off guard, a large number of Mamluks were knocked off their mounts with lances. They were quickly defeated, leaving dozens of corpses behind and retreated in embarrassment.

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

This was a hearty victory.

Two rounds of charges killed nearly 150 of the Mamluks' elite cavalry at the cost of losing only a dozen people.

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

The morale of the Crusader Knights suddenly soared.

"Speak honestly, I would rather die than lie!"

Lothar raised the armed sword in his hand and shouted.

The knights and attendants responded one after another: "If you speak honestly, you would rather die than lie!"

"Protecting the weak is worthy of heaven's justice!"

"In the face of powerful enemies, be fearless!"

"Be brave and loyal, worthy of the Father!"

"Knights, squires, and cavalry, remember your oaths. I know that you may have conflicts with each other, or you may come from different places, and speak different languages, but today, we are all knights under the command of Heavenly Father, for the kingdom, for the Jerusalem, for King Baldwin, till death!”

"Til death do us part!"

The knights shouted in unison.

The Frankish knights never lacked courage. Even their mortal enemies, the Saracens, emphasized in their records that they had nothing but "savagery and bravery."

Lothar was very pleased that in the first round of charge, the knights followed his orders instead of giving up like Erha.

The eye-catching feathers of the hussars acted like a "flag", and the other knights would spontaneously follow the hussars surrounding Lothar.

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

He did not have a God's perspective, and he did not know that at this moment, the dark Mamluk cavalry was rushing towards both sides of the Crusaders like a tide, with the goal of outflanking his cavalry.

But Lothar could hear the vigorous and dense sound of horse hooves like war drums, and could also see the long stretches of yellow sand stirred up by the cavalry as they galloped.

"Knights, follow me!"

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

At this time, the Mamluk cavalry had already rushed out from both sides of the Crusaders' formation. They did not suppress the Crusaders' phalanx through mounted shooting.

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

They included a large number of infantry archers and mercenary crossbowmen.

The accuracy and range of the mounted bow were far inferior to those of the infantry bow. Under the cover of the Crusaders' shield formation, unless the Mamluks were crazy, it was impossible to stop their mounts and shoot at the infantry bow.

Their target has always been the Crusader cavalry led by Lothar!

As long as this cavalry is eliminated, they will be free to do their best to support the frontal infantry operations. At that time, whether they charge from behind or shoot from behind, they will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In the Saracens' own camp.

Saladin was holding a porcelain bowl and drinking a bowl of ice water. He did not interfere in the frontline command at will. He knew very well that he was not a military genius.

The micro-manipulation method of moving the spear up three centimeters was impossible for him to do.

Therefore, most of this battle is left to Adil, Zahir and other generals to act independently, and he can coordinate the overall situation.

The messenger reported back.

Saladin stopped the message and frowned slightly: "Is this Baron Lothar even more difficult to deal with than his father?"

In front of them, there is a group of Mamluk light and heavy cavalry that are ready. A rough count shows that there are at least 500 people.

The siege of the Saracens had already begun during the first round of confrontation between Lothar and the light cavalry led by Zahir.

"Damn, now the whole army is pressing down? Don't the Saracens know that they should leave reserves?"

"No, we must jump out of the encirclement."

Lothar's mind changed rapidly, and in the end he followed his "beast instinct" and chose the most reckless path - crashing directly into it!

When this group of cavalry came here, they were also exhausted.

Lothar's cavalry and Fringilla were given "steroids", but the other side didn't have any.

If we take a detour at this time, we will have a long way to go. If we are entangled by the enemy, the Saracen cavalry can crush these 800 people to death with only their numerical advantage!

"Whether you are a noble, a knight or a squire, everyone, charge with me!"

"Kill all the infidels!"

Sure enough, when you get closer, you can see that the cavalry on the opposite side are all sweating profusely. When they pick up the momentum of charging again, they are obviously much slower.
