Chapter 12 Hill (Part 1)

"Yes, Grand Duke!" Bramson didn't dare to breathe even a little. He hurriedly put on the chain turban, got on the horse, inserted the light hand crossbow into the saddle bag, and put the Swabian The two-handed sword was inserted into the scabbard of the shoulder strap, and the lance with the crimson flame tongue flag was held high in his gloves.

At this signal, the hoofs of twenty-nine cavalry marched "Gedagda", including fourteen general cavalry from Cuman and Magyar, six color guard cavalry, and nine honorary bearers of lances. The armored cavalry formed a loose formation and surrounded the brigade's swordsmanship instructor. The clouds gradually became thicker and thicker, squeezing and piling up on the tops of the mountains, as if they were slowly blending into the mountain scenery. There, Bohemond's thirty horsemen were also briefly selected, led by the Duke's brother-in-law, William Grandmenile, a warlike and brave knight. Ten Armenian Cavalry The thirty cavalrymen of the imperial army were accompanied by Diogenes himself. The current deputy marching commander carried a quiver and a kite shield, and shouldered the iron flail. Behind him were thirty heavy armored men holding battle axes and Hammered Prolonian Cavalry.

A total of ninety elite cavalry from various warlike nations and legions formed three closely-closed formations. The horn sounded. Bramson looked at the guards who were close to him and nodded to each other. head, they had been in Constantine There were records of battles on the snow in Salabria, Fort, and then Bramson held on to the belief that he would die: if he failed to take down the hilltop, he would be whipped to death by the Grand Duke. He did not have a giant. A savage and strong body like Goliath.

"Bramson!" The Grand Duke shouted from behind. He turned around in the saddle and saw a sharp black spot flying through the air like lightning, and then he felt the sound of violent wings vibrating above his head - -The hunting falcon named "Captain" landed very lightly on the halberd branch holding the crimson battle flag. With a proud cry - and over there, Gawain retracted his arm and nodded to him, meaning to ask the hunting falcon to serve as the guide for the charge.

"Forward!" Bramson shouted this slogan in Ooi and Greek respectively, and then the people and horses moved forward vigorously, and the horses' hooves began to move rapidly. Heading towards the hill like a crouching cow about 400 feet away in front of us.

"One, two, three... ten enemies, are they a scout team of the Turks?" Diognis's sharp eyes were scanning the hills on the horse's galloping and bumping horse. The number of standing Turkic cavalry, they are lined up and lightly armed. They did not carry any weapons suitable for fighting, and it seemed to be a simple observation team. "I just don't know if the enemy has a prepared team or ambush behind the hillside."

"Keep the speed, keep the speed, don't charge recklessly!" On the other side, Bramson on horseback still didn't put the flag in his hand, so all the red-handed cavalry who had just witnessed the Grand Duke's whipping. They did not dare to go beyond the orders of the swordsmanship instructor, and continued to tighten the reins to prevent the mount from being too active, and also maintained the formation and trotting speed. Slowly and slowly approaching the grassland at the foot of the hill where the Turkic Qingqi stood.

Over there, the thirty cavalrymen of the empire were the same, even more cautious. Twenty of them continued to follow the officer and Bramson, and the remaining ten dexterously controlled their horses, went around the diagonal position, and monitored the hills. Possible ambush in the rear.

There was a clamor and the braying of horses. Scattered arrows began to fly over Bramson's head, and the ten Turkic reconnaissance team began to turn the direction of the horses. The horse's hooves were rotated sideways slightly and the bow string was fully drawn. After gaining a good view, they fired and harassed the approaching pilgrim cavalry.

On the front of the other wing, William Grandmenile suddenly shouted and shouted. The Norman and Armenian cavalry around him abandoned their reins one after another, letting the horses' hooves run and run, and covered their feet with their narrow kite shields. He raised his spear and sword up to his chest, accelerated suddenly, broke away from Bramson's battle line, and blocked the forward direction of the red-handed cavalry with a diagonal stab, "Stop! "Bramson shouted angrily, but in an instant, five or six Norman cavalry, with ridicule, beat their horses past him, and in an instant they rushed halfway up the hill. "Captain" shouted, The claws flew away from the halberd branches of the battle flag. All the red-handed cavalry could only tighten their reins, stopped their forward formation, and circled in place to adjust. Diognis's attack was also blocked, and he also let go. He cursed loudly.

In the huge array at the rear, Bohemond and Tancred looked at this scene and smiled proudly.

Gawain was expressionless under the floating red-handed Seven Ridges banner.

William and others quickly rushed up the hill, quickly dodged the flying arrows, and stabbed down two Turkic light cavalry with their spears. The Normans behind them swung their swords and drove away the remaining cavalry. up the hillside.

But before Bramson and Diognis could follow, after a burst of shouts, William and several Norman cavalry quickly ran down the hillside in confusion: Over there, about three people Ten powerful Turkic cavalry rushed up from the back of the hillside, hacked and killed several of William's men, and reoccupied the hill.

"Sure enough, there is a backup plan!" Bramson and Diognis re-adjusted the formation of the cavalry. "Go, Captain!" Bramson shouted the order, and then handed the battle flag to the man beside him. A cavalryman guarding the standard, following the sharp cry of a hunting falcon, it flapped its wings and flew high along the mountainside, Avoiding bushes and woods, guiding the Red Hand Cavalry and the Imperial Plonian Cavalry, then suddenly stopped flapping its wings and glided flatly from the top of the hill - behind the shadow of the bird, dozens of The cavalrymen swarmed forward and started a fierce circling fight with the thirty Turkic cavalrymen who rushed up.

When Bramson was about thirty feet away from the slave soldier, he pulled out his hand crossbow and shot an arrow. However, the opponent was also a veteran of the killing formation. He raised his shield and turned sideways. The featherless crossbow arrow clanked at the opponent. The edge of the copper shield bounced off— - Then, Bramson quickly drew his sword, and the opponent also crouched down on the saddle hill. While trying to avoid Bramson's sword blade, he also wanted to use the speed of the horse to cut the cloth with the blade. Lambson's waist.

Bramson endured the new wounds that had just healed in Fort Aleman, threw the hand crossbow back into the saddle bag, and then took out the two-handed sword on the shoulder strap with both hands. He saw the slave soldiers galloping towards each other, leading Holding the cold arc of the scimitar in his hand, he shouted, grasped the hilt of the sword, and stabbed forward with the thick and long blade!
