The rebellious Jinate cavalry who stood in formation on the north side of Hengqu soon saw thousands of elite red-handed cavalry companies approaching on horseback in the billowing smoke. The icons painted battle flags and the flashing guard reflected the backlight. Under the nose helmet, there is a cold and stern face, and in his hands are sharp spears made of oak and basswood, accompanied by the thundering cheers of Cabeamiya and the tribesmen of Branas.

Now the situation reversed instantly: plus another infantry detachment from the new brigade brought by Giovanni from Lamas, the military strength suddenly expanded to nearly 3,000 people.

"The Grand Duke is just three miles away, commanding the rest of the Banda Brigade to form our square palace!" Giovanni shouted loudly, "In other words, the Grand Duke's flag guard and the Princess in Purple's carriage are both Watch from behind us and show your courage and determination.”

The voice of the director of the Military Justice Department from Lombardy was extremely penetrating, and then waves of calls reached the ears of the rebels on the other side, whose faces were dull and frightened.

"The Grand Duke's main brigade has arrived!"

"Have a taste of the body pierced by cavalry spears and large infantry spears!"

"Dorus is bringing the Genate cavalry of Cilicia and other detachments to attack you from the mountain road on the flank."

This sound quickly spread from the confrontation battlefield in the river canal to Rum and then to Kadir.

It was now the turn of Branas, Giovanni, Walter, and Cabermeia to hold the bridle ropes and stand on the bank of the river, shouting provocatively, "We are about to attack soon. You can retreat and let them go." Shall we cross the river and form an array to compete again?”

The other side. Almost all the rebel soldiers were shrouded in panic and uneasiness. "Your Majesty the Emperor, even if it is His Royal Highness the Prince's reinforcements, whether they are in Alamein or the Mut Valley, where are they?" Several valley officers zone. Lord Genat, who hated Gawain the most, surrounded Leo, who also had a gloomy expression. He pointed at the counter-rebellion team on the other side of the Hengcan, and then at the Lumu garrison whose morale suddenly rose, "If it is His Majesty the Emperor's Reinforcements are still on the way, so should we retreat to Mutt Castle now?"

Leo pointed at Hardy's towering mountains with his horsewhip and gritted his teeth, "Diga also brought his two hundred soldiers to surround and block the mountain road of Lum Town. If we retreat, Gaowen's troops will He will be blocked and annihilated.”

The moment when everyone is divided. Giovanni on the other side of the canal had already waved a small flag, and all the soldiers shouted, "Since the rebels have become discouraged and dare not shout anymore, let us attack them and tell them to shut up completely." Then from the middle of the formation, Military servants and mobilized members of the German Armed Regiment carried small boats on wheels and carriages and pushed them overland to the edge of the ditch, and then the infantry from the detachment filed out. Branas put on his armor himself and boarded one of the leading ships: the craftsmen set up a large frame on the bow that had been brought from the armory in Seleucia. It is made of lined wood and covered with smooth cowhide. A simple sleeve is used behind the drilled hole to insert spears and sword blades to prevent enemy attacks or arson. There is also a mechanism at the joint between the rafters and the bow, which can be erected or lowered to serve as a ship. The offensive short bridge, which was the basic equipment of Byzantine ships, was appropriately improved by Samuel Law and used in beach operations.

In the turbid river waves stirred up, four boats with vertical rafts quickly crossed the transverse canal under the paddles of the oarsmen on both sides, and fiercely attacked the deer antlers on the other side.

"Shoot arrows, don't let the enemy come over." With this howl, the previous contemptuous attitude of the rebel Jinat disappeared. The leading supervisor led various light soldiers composed of dependent peasants and fired fiercely with bows and arrows. boats, but the arrows hit the rafters, and they all slipped and bent, falling into the water. The rebels behind the antlers stood up to draw their bows, and then stepped back to draw the strings. In an instant, the attacking rafts had crashed into the antlers of the wooden palisade on the river bank, and the spears and hooks and sickles were everywhere they touched, causing a mess.

"Throw out the hook!" Branas turned around on the bow of the central ship, stretched out his sword and shouted. The craftsmen and oarsmen at the stern ducked to dodge the arrows passing overhead, and each counted them. The rafter hook was thrown to the following boat, and then the paddler caught it and fastened it to the special iron ring on the bow. After a while, , the four horizontal ships, each connected two or three grasshopper-style boats vertically, directly to the shore over there. At this moment, the people on the ships followed the order and held the spears with floating bags tied to both ends. , buckled horizontally on the side of the ship, and laid wooden planks on every other one - soon, four small boat bridges were formed.

The Jinat rebels were horrified, but there were continuous calls from the other side - the vanguard of the Guardian Brigade, mostly Rhinelanders or Swabians, wore leather-paneled armor and held huge two-handed swords. , divided into several teams, and rushed over on the boat bridge. When the rafters on the ship above collapsed, the deer antler defenses were full of figures slashing with their swords. The bodies of the rebels' light soldiers, together with the fragments of the deer's antlers, were scattered everywhere in the sun. The team was After causing casualties, the three hundred Jinat rebel cavalry behind them also hurriedly retreated a distance of 200 feet, preparing to distance themselves before counterattacking.

Branas jumped on the shore, once again moved the flag bearer and trumpeter towards him, and kept shouting to the vanguard soldiers, "Don't smash and destroy the antlers, push them forward, push them in front of our array, stop the rebellion The cavalry's counterattack!"

"Oh!" More and more soldiers and armed groups rushed to the shore here, and their figures kept moving forward, echoing the request of Chief Temachi. They gritted their teeth, turned the antlers, and followed the sand and soil. The sword was stuck on the ground, and with both hands free, he lowered his waist and pushed forward desperately.

There was a sudden sound of horse hoofbeats over there, and three hundred rebellious Jinate cavalry, shouting and forming a front line, rushed towards the Branas tribe who had just occupied the position on the shore. However, they followed the swinging horses' heads and were surprised. Suddenly, he realized that in front of the rapidly approaching soldiers, Branas's soldiers had already half-knelt down, hiding behind the protruding antlers of the antlers, with their long swords and crossbows ready, watching eagerly.

With a roar, the German soldiers in the second row behind the antlers stood up and threw the German heavy spears in their hands at the oncoming cavalry. The dozen Genat warriors at the front, helmets and Their necks were stabbed so hard that blood burst out. They dropped their weapons one by one and fell backwards onto the muddy ground, causing splashes of mud.

"What are you doing, bastard, don't run away!" When Leo Kallegos realized that his situation was not good, he led the rest of the cavalry and rushed to the cross canal. He found that there were figures of men and horses running back in front of them, and he couldn't help but become furious. Knowing that the front is protected by several layers of antlers, , but the news of the sudden fall suddenly made him panic. He looked at the approaching Grand Duke's army in front of him, and then looked back at the vast river valley and mountains, feeling sad, "Did His Majesty the Emperor abandon us?" ..."

Similarly, on the mountain road position, Tiga Kallegos couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the defensive position on the bank was defeated by a cross-river attack from the Grand Duke's army.

Then, the horn sounded over there, and Dorus Lambert from the Colleadiou Fortress, leading a mixed team of infantry and cavalry, rushed towards him quickly!
