Eagle Byzantium

More than 10,000 Roman soldiers, the entire left wing was made up of the troops of the Trebizond Military District. Harold led the guards, archers, and infantry in the middle. The right wing had only 100 Pronian cavalry and a large number of light soldiers, led by Branas. The front line of the three wings of troops spread out for two or three miles, along the opposite side of the hillside, and spread out in a long horizontal shape of the wilderness until the Calabi Mountain Road. The flags were like stars in the sky, and the soldiers were spread out in rows, like countless shining fish scales. The thick smoke raised by human feet and horse hooves covered the sky and the sun, and rushed towards the hill where Gawain was.

"It's a textbook Roman formation. In front is a fish-scale formation consisting of four teams of infantry wings, arranged in a staggered manner, leaving a channel for the reserve army to be deployed. In the back are horizontal rows of heavy cavalry and archers. They will first weaken us with spears and bows, and then send out cavalry to attack from the front and both wings at the same time, tearing and crushing us..." Gawain, who was under the red cross sword flag, looked nervously at the enemy army that was attacking like a tide. He was so bold that he couldn't help but feel his heart was oppressed. He gripped the hilt of the sword, looked up at the blue sky where the flag was dancing, and then sighed, "Forget that one, even if I go to the enemy now, If you pray, I'm afraid you will also be gritting your teeth and looking down on me - killing, proselytizing, abducting, rape, smuggling, infidelity, making a pact with the devil, having sex with heretics, trying to establish a new kingdom, and also hoping that this kingdom can surpass the Holy Land. I have not missed any of these things. Well, I won't bother you. Just use my devil's sword to do what needs to be done. "

An arrow whizzed past the corner of the flag in Gawain's eyes, and then more and more, the soldiers behind him began to turn up their shields to resist the arrows of the flying Roman light soldiers, and the sailor company behind him also began to shoot arrows to fight back.

Then, under the flying arrows, Gawain drew out the phosphorous sword. The cold blade reflected his blue eyes, and he summoned courage in desperation: Cabeamia's strategy will definitely work, but Birrel and Melo are my comrades who have been through life and death together, and I will not abandon them and escape to Fort Gungara, so now all the fate of prosperity and decline depends on the blade of this spear and sword, and we must survive in the face of death!

"Get off the horse. Raise your lance, raise your lance!" Gawain roared and jumped off the horse, patting Quicksilver to let him run away from the front line, and then 400 cavalrymen followed suit - in this combat environment, horses are more precious than people. As a result, hundreds of war horses ran down the hillside soon. Birrel and all the tribesmen on the ridge over there saw this situation, and they knelt down involuntarily and prayed loudly to the almighty God for Gawain's success in the battle.

At this time, the 400 cavalrymen behind Gawain, and the 600 cavalrymen who had no horses before, a total of 1,000 people, all fought on foot. Following the order of the Grand Duke, everyone spontaneously formed a column formation with only twenty people in front and thirteen rows in total, divided into four teams. The four rows in the front all followed the shoulders of the front and raised their lances, and the people in the back all held their shields, maces, and swords tightly, and the light of the spear tips was breathtaking.

At this moment, the Roman Empire's skirmishers had already rushed into the range, and they all aimed their bows and arrows, and all the fish-scale squares began to slowly approach and deploy. The cavalry behind raised their horses' hooves, and everyone was motivated to cooperate on time. Launch a thundering attack.

Gawain pulled the kite shield and protected it in front of him. Then he ran down with his sword held high and roaring, and then four lance columns, following his pace, also rushed down the hillside quickly. Because of their fast speed, the arrows shot by the Roman light soldiers flew over their heads one after another. The people who were shot by arrows spurted blood and fell behind Gawain, but his comrades jumped over their bodies and continued to charge bravely with their spears. Before the light soldiers in the lead received the order to retreat, they saw countless enemies holding sharp lances and roaring on foot, and they were immediately stunned.

There was a sound of spears piercing into the body, and the first two or three rows of Roman light soldiers suffered a great disaster. They were stabbed down in an instant. Many people were pressed by the spear tip, spitting blood and sliding back for several steps before falling on their backs one after another. But the cavalry company's lance charge continued. They continued to step over the corpse belt of the light soldiers, tightly together, and bravely broke through.

Then the spear tip touched the Roman infantry, which was arranged in a fish scale pattern, four teams in a single wing (dozens of people, all spearmen in the front row, archers in the back row), and two wings in a formation. Their leading warriors were wearing armor and holding spears, but they were obviously inferior in length. As a result, before the spear tip pierced the torso of the infantry cavalry of the large company, the opponent's Kontos and Norman cavalry spears came first, and the infantrymen's helmets shattered one after another, and they were stabbed to the ground, covering their faces, like a wall collapsing one after another.

Soon, the Greek infantry company on the right wing also raised their spears and launched a long live charge.

Theodorus was caught off guard, with his scepter still raised, when he saw the lance charge in front of him like a raging sea, which destroyed his and Harold's front line. Meanwhile, Harold in the center was also stunned, "Branas's front line is about to be destroyed!" This was the first cry of the former Varangian commander.

This is exactly the case. The Pronian cavalry beside Branas was frightened by the momentum of this lance charge. Even Branas himself was terrified. "What kind of charge is this? Why not fight according to the rules?" Then when he wanted to change the formation and try to increase the depth to fight against the two "lance columns" in front of him, he found that it was too late. Gawain personally led these two columns, lined up with long and terrifying lances, and chopped them down. Branas originally formed a long and narrow horizontal formation. He saw that the left side of the high ground where Gawain was located was full of isolated cliffs, so he wanted to concentrate archers, surround it and shoot arrows to kill Gawain's cavalry horses, but he didn't expect that the opponent would directly form a long column and kill from a narrow attack point.

"Don't retreat, kill until you are tired!" Gawain still said this simple sentence, and then the tip of the lance quickly pierced through Branas' formation, and the flesh and blood bodies kept falling down as he saw it - the right wing of the Roman army where Branas was located was pierced through and torn into three parts. It was originally like a cut-off curved snake, and then it burst into countless "spiders" and "ants" and fled in a hurry.

Harold, who saw the right wing fleeing at lightning speed, was stunned for a while before he saw that his front infantry and archer lines were also "pierced" by the other two lance columns, and Theodore's wing was also fighting with the spear forest of the "Raging" company, and it was difficult to separate them. In a hurry, he shouted, "Varangian Guards, charge! All cavalry retreat 100 feet, prepare to make room, and then counterattack and drive the enemy back." (To be continued ~^~)
