Eagle Byzantium

Gawain nodded, stretched out his long arm, and with a slight shake, pulled out the spear, held it in his hand, and leaned it slightly on his right shoulder. Then he turned around and faced all the cavalry on both sides who were mounted and holding spears. , shouted loudly, "In the battle we are about to face, the number of those who will die will be negligible, because we are bound to win. Look at the enemies on the opposite side, their horses are already weak, and you With two war horses in exchange, we only need to follow the rules and training, follow our own flag, and a single charge can defeat them. Don't flinch, don't be afraid, because I, the Grand Duke of Seleucia, will always take the lead. You are ahead. If you are afraid and hesitant in the face of this Ani hyena, then what qualifications do you have to join me and other warriors to restore the Lord's world!"

Hearing such a sound, the first of them were the Jinat cavalry in the central formation. Most of them wore domed iron helmets, lined with leather or Indian cotton smocks, and covered with protective iron armor. They wore sabers and held The cavalry short spears made of oak saplings can be thrown or quickly stabbed. They shook their arms in response to the Grand Duke, and the armor pieces vibrated. In the mouths of all the Jinat cavalry, they also flapped their tongues and uttered "" imitating the Turks hunting. Oh oh oh oh" sound.

And the sound of horse hooves sounded: the red-handed cavalry on both wings, after the Grand Duke finished his speech, began to follow the flag officers of their respective ranks. They had already covered their left sides with kite shields and selected the one with the strongest strength. The mount, with its spear held high on the right side, and the cavalry behind carrying a long-handled caltrop hammer, rushed over the mountains and plains without hesitation, silently charging towards the Armenian cavalry!

"Charge!" Under the red-hand banner facing the wind in the center, Gawain personally held up his spear. The previously deployed rows of crossbars had been moved away. Thousands of Jinate cavalry were afraid that their merits and trophies would be possessed by the red-hand cavalry, and they also stared at them. Wearing a silver horse, a crimson flag, and a white cloak, and swaying red hand feathers, urging their mounts - all the horses' heads were strangled and stretched out, the nostrils spurted out bursts of galloping mist, the lower ribs were tightly stretched, and the horses' hooves stirred momentarily. The passing image soon arrived in front of the Armenian cavalry array.

More than 2,000 cavalry, against the same more than 2,000 cavalry.

For a moment, thousands of cavalrymen violently collided with each other in the wilderness. At the moment before the battle, the Genat cavalry straightened up slightly on the saddle and threw the oak short spears in their hands like raindrops - before the war, in the Ordnance Department With the modification, a counterweight hammer was appropriately added to the spearhead of this straight short spear, making the entire short spear heavier in front and lighter in back. In this way, the lethality of the flying spear is much stronger than that of ordinary spear darts, even if it breaks , can also be wielded as a short weapon in combat.

Before the Armenian cavalry in the vanguard could react, they were pierced many times by the storm of short spears. Gawain saw with his own eyes a young Armenian noble cavalry, falling under his horse, bowing his body in great pain. In his hand, he was holding a spear that had stabbed him in the side. His intestines were flowing out from the wound. The young soldier was wailing and twitching, but he could not pull out the short spear and could only accept a torturous death there. .

Soon, Gawain's eyes returned to the front again, his light blue eyes with murderous intent gathered on both sides of the iron nose guard, and he quickly released them with the flat thrust of the spear in his hand, holding the sword in his hand. With Quicksilver's unparalleled charging power: an older enemy noble who rushed from the opposite side was sitting on the ground. The dismounted horse was tired and lost its front hoof during the battle. He staggered and was stabbed squarely in the head by Gawain's spear. There was a cracking sound and the tip of Gawain's spear exploded crisply. Together with the old aristocratic iron helmet, his white hair stained with red blood, he fell down from the horse on his back.

Gawain's arm suddenly retracted, and then he pulled out the sword of phosphorous fire. Quicksilver also slowed down his pace very understandingly, and slashed everywhere with the blade flat and horizontally, shouting "Hallelujah", All the cavalry shouted when they rushed into the enemy's formation, because originally the charge was silent, but now they suddenly rose up, which was particularly shocking. The Armenian rear cavalry, including commander Saliki, took the lead in breaking away from the line and retreating. Although the front cavalry resisted bravely, they were defeated by the powerful and swift assault of Gawain's cavalry because of fatigue. The ownerless horses fled in all directions, and the Armenian cavalry who fell on the ground, whether they were nobles or commoners, leaders or soldiers, were trampled by the unceasing hooves of horses, and were slashed and stabbed by swords, cavalry axes, and spears, just like It's like falling into hell, Yami The two wings and forward defense lines of the Nian cavalry were torn apart in a short period of time, just like Prince Reuben said, "like a riverbank dam made of mud, washed away by the torrent of the Feramis River." However, The factual situation describes his own army.

The Philamis River once again became the prince's sad place, no, this time it may be a blood-stained place: when Gawain's cavalry rushed to him with the remaining power, Ruben's hand protected his head crown, turned around and ran towards the infantry formation of his own camp...

Many, many years later, after Andeodate abdicated from the position of Privy Councilor, he still talked about it in his memoirs in his later years, "...Our cavalry was so outstanding and brave at that time. They formed a tight formation, but they were as terrifying and fast as a river bursting through a dam or lightning falling from the sky. All the soldiers shouted the slogan of the Virgin Mary and charged. His Majesty, under the love and protection of Anna Ducas, with supreme courage, smashed the sword of punishment on the heads of the humble enemies who dared to resist him...The enemy's cavalry, the Armenian gentry who were proud of their bravery in the Cilicia region at that time, were defeated like ants swept by flames...No one may believe it, but our cavalry only lost 53 people, but killed and captured nearly 700 enemy cavalry and seized nearly 1,000 war horses. The enemy's gentry and nobles took the lead in fleeing...I was also fortunate to be within a short distance of His Majesty's war horses. I was only a few feet behind him, riding my horse to accompany the assault. Even now that I am old, I still remember every detail of the incident very clearly. It is really strange... Although His Majesty the Emperor has been sleeping in the glorious mausoleum with his loved ones forever, I am eager to discuss the answer to this question with him again, at least it is impossible while I am alive, because I cannot disturb him... Sometimes life is so helpless. When the empire is revived again, you are old, the people are gone, and the glory is slowly fading. If I continue to talk about these topics, I am afraid that many young people will be disgusted and ridiculed, but I still want to use my pen to pass on the story of courage forever - while I also have to accompany the two most honorable majesties, the Emperor and the Queen. "

The Gawain cavalry, which defeated the enemy, rushed to a place 300 feet away from Reuben's camp, that is, the extent that they could throw a short spear through Reuben's lion battle flag, and then retreated.

But even so, Reuben's large group of infantry were all silent, not daring to move at all, and watched Gawain's cavalry turn around and ride away... (To be continued ~^~)
