Eagle Byzantium

"Get up! Little Tai Sui's troops are going to fall from the sky." Liu Guangshi pulled the reins and flexibly let his mount step on the undulating mountain road. There were low bushes and dangerous rocks on both sides. There was a flat-topped rocky hill on the upper side of the path. Because there was no battle between the two armies before, the snow was always very thick and even.

At this moment, the snow in the sky slowly calmed down, and the wind whistled to a place farther outside the city of Mofu. It seemed that the sun was about to come out again. The clouds were becoming lighter and floating again, in pieces. Liu Guangshi looked down at the scene of thousands of enemy and our cavalry fighting below. The outline of the entire battlefield became clear again. He felt more and more urgent, and urged his cavalry several times.

In addition, he also saw the cavalrymen in formation, charging from the fortress defense line. Knowing that Tong Xiang had invested the last reserve elite, he whipped his mounts a few times, and then all the cavalrymen followed closely in a long curved column, and low shouts of encouragement to the horses were heard everywhere.

Finally, the winding road seemed to have come to an end, and several cavalry officers exclaimed in admiration - in front of them, under a hillside, the enemy's rear cavalrymen were holding golden crescent flags and forming a circle on the plain there.

"Haha, hahaha!" Liu Guangshi didn't know what language to use to express his feelings at this time, so he could only laugh out loud.

Then he looked back, and on the steep mountain, the cavalrymen were shouting and preparing to change the marching column and the battle column, and snow foam and tiny glimmers were splashing under the horses' hooves.

Suddenly, Liu Guangshi's mount screamed a few times. He started to curse and pulled the reins, trying to make the animal overcome its fear. "You will be smashed into a pulp soon, but you have to follow my whip." But before he could finish his words, Liu Guangshi felt that the snow-covered bushes next to his mount suddenly loosened a few times, and two people jumped out from them, wearing thick felt clothes and holding spears with cold light, and stabbed at Liu Guangshi, who was obviously the leading officer. Guangshi hurriedly dodged, but a spear pierced his cloak. Guangshi quickly drew his sword and cut it off, and half of the man's head flew up with blood - but another spear came immediately and pierced Guangshi's arm that was swinging the sword. "Ah!" Liu Guangshi screamed, the sword in his hand fell to the snow, and he quickly leaned under the saddle, and shouted to the cavalry behind him, "Don't retreat, even if there is an ambush, just rush down!"

With a few puffs, the hidden ambush soldier who stabbed Guangshi was immediately shot by several arrows and fell to death.

The horn sounded, and the soldiers of the Wuqi Army and the Fan Army who attacked by surprise looked up and looked in the direction of the sound. Suddenly, a team of elite Turkic slave knights with war flags appeared on the high hill. The well-forged armor was shining with cold light. Then, without saying a word, they raised their spears and divided them into several groups, rushing down from the high hill of the mountain road like splitting bamboo!

Most of the Song cavalry, who were still sandwiched in the middle of the mountain road, were stabbed and fell off their horses countless times, and the team was broken into several sections, and the front and rear could not take care of each other.

It turned out that Gao Wen had long ago planted a secret sentry equipped with a short-barreled telescope on the top of this hill, always monitoring the actions of the Song army. Unfortunately, Liu Guangshi's actions did not escape the "eyes of the law": in fact, when he led the cavalry up the mountain, the secret sentry went to report to the Governor of Mosul, Kobuha, and then Kobuha sent 400 slave soldiers under his command to ambush on the high hill.

Liu Guangshi struggled to stand up, turned his horse and ran back, shouting "How hateful! I, the little Tai Sui, failed to accomplish my great mission today. Isn't it fate!"

As a result, the mountain road was blocked with fighting cavalry everywhere. Liu Guangshi soon became the target of concentrated fire. Arrows rained down on him. His mount was hit by seven arrows and died. This was the fourth horse that Guangshi had killed in the fierce battle that day. Guangshi fell to the ground. Several Seljuk soldiers came to catch him with iron forks and hooks. Two retainers who had received great favors from his father Liu Yanqing rode their horses. One of them shot arrows continuously and shot down three Seljuks in a row. The other threw a rope around Guangshi's neck on horseback. In a hurry, he dragged him back along the ground and finally rescued him from danger.

Although Liu Guangshi escaped back to the battle, more than half of his team was lost, and the surprise attack plan also failed.

Although there were only more than 500 people left in the Song army's chariot camp at this moment, they were still fighting hard under the command of Guo Cheng.

On the opposite side, Dorus Lambert led another 3,000 border people to reinforce Walter and Mikhail's front line, and the Romans' offensive against the chariot camp became more and more intense like a storm.

At the command post of the fortress in the western district of Mofu City, Tong Guan gritted his teeth and watched the most brutal and fierce battlefield on the right wing, and also watched the cavalrymen driving there. His heart seemed to be suspended and strangled by ropes, and his blood was all coagulated, and he felt that he couldn't relax at all.

At this time, another messenger cavalry from the left wing Jingxi Army came, turned over and fell off the horse, knelt in front of him and said in horror, "Prime Minister, Commander Xin was hit by a bullet and injured!"

Hearing this bad news, Tong Guan's eyes were about to split open. He held the scepter tightly and said nothing to this sudden bad news.

And everyone around him looked ashen.

The one who shot Xin Xingzong was the gunner from the "Scorpion Tail Team" raised by the Holy Sister.

In the previous battle, Xin Xingzong, who commanded the 2,000 cavalry of the Jingxi Army, also rushed left and right. He first defeated the Serbian cavalry on Gao Wen's right wing, and then cooperated with the infantry to repel the imperial guards of the palace who came to reinforce Gao Wen. Then, regardless of his fatigue, Xin Xingzong rushed into the Paulist team and drove the Paulist team back all over the field. Both sides almost exhausted their blood and energy. Saint Sister Cabe Amiya shouted "Scorpion Tail Team" and then rode skillfully back.

A correct version in 16-9 Book Bar!

Xin Xingzong was surprised to see that there were women in the enemy's formation. He had captured many female Tangut soldiers in the previous battle against Xixia. He didn't expect that Fulin also had the custom of women joining the army? He couldn't help but be eager to fight, so he chased after Cabe Amiya.

Fifty gunners of the Scorpion Tail Team suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground. They did not retreat at all when facing the enemy's galloping horses, and fired their muskets fiercely. Although Xin Xingzong was brave in battle, he always paid attention to his family background and liked to wear gorgeous and eye-catching military uniforms to boost morale on the battlefield. As a result, he became the target of the Scorpion Tail Team's volleys. General Xin was shot on the spot and fell off his horse. The Jingxi Army cavalry around him advanced in anger and killed all fifty people of the Scorpion Tail Team. Only then did they carry the injured General Xin on their horses and carry him back to the battle.

But after Xin Xingzong was seriously injured, the fighting spirit of the entire Jingxi Army was shaken violently.

This shake quickly spread to the formations of the Tiger Wing Left and Right Army. When the fourth "charge order" of the commander and Yu Hou was issued, most of the soldiers were passive and silent, obviously resisting.
