Chapter 427 Impact

"This is Marquis Lothar's army!"

"This is the legendary hussar!"

Fulk looked at the cavalry team wearing bright plate armor and with feathers on their backs, and felt a little excited.

Lothar's hussars, because of their unique decoration and their brilliant achievements, have long been praised in the Christian world. When he left Hebron, he still regretted not being able to see the hussars charging with his own eyes.

But immediately, Fulk realized that in this battle, even though he saw the hussars, what could be worse than the hussars' spears pointing at him?

Ivan tightened his grip on the reins.

He was a naturally brave and fearless warrior, but he had to admit that looking at the figure wearing a golden mask and riding a nightmare-like horse, he still felt a little nervous in his heart.

He touched Fulk with his knee.

Facing the other party's doubtful eyes, he said, "What is the use of the feather decorations on their backs?"

This time Fulk asked.

"Probably for decoration."

"In other words, it's just a fake."

Ivan mocked disdainfully, his voice so loud that it seemed a bit deliberate.

"Brothers, I have good news to tell you - the enemy is very well equipped."

Facing everyone's doubtful eyes, he smiled and said: "Because they will soon become our trophies. You know, in the market of Aleppo, a pair of such armor can be exchanged for a building equipped with stables, gardens, and courtyards." The big mansion!”

But it seems that such lectures have not achieved anything.

Only the soldiers who were closer responded with a forced smile.

Can he really defeat such a terrifying enemy?

"Lotha."

Saladin muttered.

When he first learned that Lothar had led a Kurdish cavalry across the border and penetrated into the territory of the Sasanian king, and successfully defeated the local lord's wooden fort with fewer enemies and more, he put the blame on himself. On time.

He had a hunch that this person might become a serious problem for him in the future.

But he never thought that this day would come so quickly.

Just like a tiger taking a nap in the mountains, the puppy has become the wolf king commanding the pack of wolves.

"Master Shemeier, I remember you once said that Lothar is good friends with Anna of the Empire, or is he an important member of the Levant Wizards Association?"

"That's right."

Saladin frowned and said: "Why do people like him covet worldly power? Aren't wizards all ulema (scholars) who spend all their time immersed in literature and classics and are knowledgeable about the scriptures?"

Shemeier smiled and asked: "Aren't Mudriji and I also serving you for secular power? Can't the emperor of the Franks still build a huge wizard assembly hall?"

Saladin was slightly startled.

He smiled helplessly: "Two masters, when do you plan to take action? Facing this kind of extraordinary enemy, my soldiers will probably suffer heavy casualties."

"The right time."

The taciturn Master Mudriji stared at the powerful Crusader cavalry, looking thoughtful.

"Yes, as Master Mudriji said, we will take action when the time is right."

Master Shemail looked calm: "Although we cannot fight to the death for you like Master Salman, I guarantee with my credibility that the price you pay will be worth it."

Saladin was silent.

He felt a little angry, but mostly helpless.

He has a cooperative relationship with these spellcasters and has never been above them, so how can he give instructions.

"I trust both of you."

In the end, he could only nod slightly, turn around and leave.

The hussars lined up in the tightest formation, holding specially made hollow lances that were at least three meters long, or even close to four meters long. Although they were easy to break, it also gave them a full advantage when confronting the cavalry. Take the initiative.

As the cavalry on the hillside rushed down, the numerous cavalry gradually formed their formation like a peacock spreading its tail, changing thickness into width to maximize the impact that the Crusaders were proud of.

Jeanne's "Flower of Knights" gives each knight a 20% all-round increase.

Lothar's "charge" gave every soldier infinite courage.

There are also equipped cavalry spears, which provide a terrifying 20% ​​increase in the defensive power of one's own cavalry. The triple blessing has caused the combat power of the knights fighting at this moment to soar by at least double, and the cavalry's power has also increased by nearly half.

"charge!"

"Kill all those damn infidels."

Following the hussars, the mounted archers, even their mounts wrapped in horse armor, drew their bows and set arrows, aiming diagonally forward with two rounds of projectiles and two rounds of arrows. The remaining time left behind happened to be for them to change weapons. time.

They put on two-handed spears, relied on solid armor, and did not need to hold shields at all, advancing closely behind the hussars.

…

Takidin roared loudly: "It has been more than a hundred years since Gudes fell into the hands of the barbaric Franks. In these years, the Franks brought plague, disaster, and death. They started a war wantonly. There has been a massacre, and now it’s time for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”

His fat body was squeezed on the back of a horse from Tianzhu, and the spear in his hand was raised high: "The holy fire burns forever, supreme and supreme!"

"The holy fire burns forever, supreme and great!"

There was an unconcealable cowardice hidden in the thundering roar.

The frightening effect of the golden mask helmet was perfectly displayed at this moment by Lothar, who was wearing a dragon-head cloak and bright plate armor and rushed to the front, deliberately attracting everyone's attention.

The Mamluk cavalry were like a black wave, rushing towards the Crusaders on the opposite side.

Cavalry hedging was originally a very luxurious thing.

It was a big loss for Saladin's heavily trained Kasaji Guards, which were like the horse archers under Lothar. They were more suitable for guerrilla warfare with mounted bows, pulling the enemy's infantry phalanx until the enemy's formation was harassed. When they are loose or the soldiers are exhausted, they can switch to heavy weapons such as war hammers and flails and charge directly into the formation.

But Saracens had no choice.

Someone must restrain the opponent's cavalry. In the current situation, there is no room for the Mamluks and light cavalry to rely on the bows in their hands to carry out guerrilla attacks, or to use other clever tactics.

If they did not entangle the Crusader cavalry, the latter could simply turn their horses and attack the flanks and rear of their infantry phalanx, and even separate the thousands of soldiers who were rushing into the Crusader camp from the soldiers waiting to go to the battlefield in the rear. Come on.

It's equivalent to cutting off the head of a snake that sticks into a mouse hole!

Under the premise that both sides have a strong cavalry, the only option is a head-on battle.

boom!

The two torrents collided.

The lance in Lothar's hand penetrated the enemy's body. At the same time, he released the force in a dragging posture and pulled out the lance. The set of movements was as smooth as a textbook.

Hot blood spattered on the robe.

Sun Eclipse sniffed the smell of blood excitedly. After lowering his head and knocking over an enemy knight with a horn, he actually opened his big mouth full of ferocious fangs and bit into the head of the knight on the opposite side. With a terrifying bite force, It directly crushed the sturdy helmet into a discus.

It raised its head and swallowed a mouthful of blood and iron pieces into its stomach. This nightmare beast from hell, stimulated by the aura of the battlefield, finally revealed its bloodthirsty nature.

No longer able to take into account that the eclipse violated his rules, Lothar raised his spear and swept the enemy off his mount.

Behind him, countless cavalrymen were either impaled on their mounts, knocked off their horses by lances, or simply pierced through their bodies by the enemy's lances at the moment of the fight.

At this time, it is time to show the personal martial arts of the cavalry.

Many experienced knights, when killing an enemy, are often able to escape with their weapons intact, and then attack the second enemy. ‘

It was common for some knights or squires who were not skilled in martial arts to lose their lives in a single encounter. At least they would lose their lances and could only draw their armed swords and engage in close combat with the enemy.

Except for the hussars, although the lances they used could ensure that they hit the enemy first, they also lost their toughness and broke at the moment of contact with the enemy.

But it was obvious that the Crusader cavalry still had the upper hand.
