"Melo and Branas will let them do it." Gawain looked confident in the night.

Sure enough, the next day, when the morning dawn came, the 70,000 pilgrims were surprised to find that there was an additional mass of enemy troops on the right flank of Chelei Mountain.

The front row of soldiers of this group of enemy troops are tall, well-dressed chain mail, armor, and various helmets, they are holding spears that soar into the sky, holding eye-catching big golden hand flags, there is also a flag like two golden ** swaying slightly, snow or gray mink hair dancing in the wind, on both wings of the infantry array, there are a large number of elite cavalry, holding small golden hand flags, the wind chimes and wheels on it are whining and whining and making a piercing long roar, spreading throughout the wilderness of the plateau, and all kinds of hideous fish and dragon flags are swinging their tails.

In front of this procession, lined up with light repulsors, formed a long, strong position, completely cutting off the attempts of the Mujahideen to detour from the left.

This is the Red Hand Brigade and the Guardian Brigade, commanded by Merlot and Branas; The cavalrymen, consisting of Walter, Bramson, and Gottie, galloped to the east of Cheleishan last night, and each soldier took up three days' worth of dry rations, as all the wagons had gone up the mountain.

"After all, it doesn't look like more than 10,000 foot riders." Imam Qasim, who was standing in the forefront of countless mujahideen, rode on the back of a mule and looked at the opposite formation from a distance and said to the rest.

Then the leaders decided:

Along the abandoned earthen embankment in front of the river as the axis, 10,000 Chinese troops were lined up here, and in front of the Chelei Mountain, where Gawain was located, all 3,000 Daxia camels lay down, tripped their hooves and feet with ropes, and surrounded them by the chariots of the Kiposa believers, so as to form an "attack fortress";

The striker is still Pap. The Kiposa Believers of Potanny, with about 10,000 men, were arranged in front of the "Camel City", and were also equipped with eight "Madam" firearms to strengthen the offensive force, mainly responsible for attacking Chelei Mountain;

The right army, numbering about 8,000 men, under the command of Urux, was equipped with most of the cavalry of the Mujahideen, and they were to make a swift detour to outflank his left flank while Papu attacked Chelei Hill, because after reconnaissance there was no large enemy defense, which should be a weak link of the enemy;

The left army, led by Elvez, numbered about 25,000 men, was the most powerful, because it had to play the role of surveillance and containment against the two elite brigades of Merlot and Blanas, and was ready to meet them at any time;

The rearguard, led by Harun, formed in the open area behind the river, with a total of thirteen thousand men, who took control of the retreat, the water source and a circular wood, and assumed the role of general reserve.

Finally, 4,000 women and children, old and weak, were lined up on a hill further behind, where the ruins of the old fortresses of the empire were to be put on the role of logistical transport in the event of a war.

Soon, the dust raised by the movement of the entire Hermes Array covered the entire sky, and the sound of chanting and beating the small drum shook the rivers and the earth.

All the firethrowers wearing umbrella crowns and feathers on the barricade hill silently boarded the carriages of the caravan according to their respective flags, put the fire pipes and fire arrows one by one behind the perforations, and then lit the fire rope and slowly burned, and pieces of melodious green smoke floated on each carriage, while the border infantry and heretics were armed with spears, bows, crossbows, flails, and tribulus chain hammers, and lined up behind the barricade, and the priests of the Reformed Church and the Paulic elders who accompanied the army were holding their own prayer ceremonies.

About an hour later, several firethrowers stood on tiptoe and began to raise the warning slogan: On the field on the other side of the hillside, the black pressure on the boundless Mujahideen troops came out of the army, about a thousand people each, and gathered at their forward army, making their forward team even larger and stronger, of course, they did not know that this was the "Pleiades" tactic that the Mujahideen had discussed in advance.

"Break through this hill with confidence, the enemy's army over there will not be able to support it, because it is blocked by our left and rear armies." Under the fluttering banner of Hethep, Qasim of the Chinese army slashed his right hand, and the mujahideen beside him began to raise a column of horns and whine and whine.

The camels that make up the "camel city" are screaming and distraught, shaking their heads and necks, constantly trying to break free from the ropes of their hands and feet, but they are fiercely scolded and whipped.

The voice of the general attack reached Pap. In Potanny's ears, he looked fiercely at the flags on the hill in front of him, which were also stained with flames, and knew that there were Kabeamia herself and her men, "but a woman who leads the people by blood, and is said to have had an affair with the leader of the enemy, which simply tarnishes the name of the Paulicians." ”

Soon, he actually saw that on a vehicle on the distant mountain, a thin woman stood up, her hair was dancing in the wind, and her golden hands were raised, which was a wordless provocation.

When the Kiposa devotees saw this, they let out a roar of rage, and Pap, who was always the most hateful and murderous of the heretics, bowed to his body in the saddle and put on his golden hand, and galloped back and forth in front of the array and in the shouts with the hooves of the horses, and then faced the direction of the shining sun, "According to the deployment of the Angsu array, attack with all your might!" ”

"Kill!" Nearly 2,000 men of Kiposa marched in a dense phalanx, armed with weapons of all kinds, and scrambled to march towards the mountain of Chelei.

Gawain grabbed the holy sister by the waist, and only about three seconds later, the whistling arrows flew in front and back with a strange chirp, some bent on the hanging carriages and shields, some shot into the earthen baskets, some grazed over, and flew into the ranks of the border infantry behind them, some screamed and covered their deep wounds, and Leotius picked up the arrow that was inserted into the ground under his feet, and saw that it was three feet long, made of a kind of dark green tenacious pole, The speed and force of the flight are terrifying!

Then they saw that the Kiposa believers beneath it, like a black cloud, were getting closer and closer to the barricades and moats, and began to run down the hillside, and gradually they could see their hateful countenances, and everywhere there were spear tips, blades, and axes flashing with murderous aura, and everywhere there were drums and drums that were beating people's eardrums and hearts, and they were closely following the rest of the "Aung Su Formation", one after another, waiting for the breakthrough ahead, and then following without interruption. In order to defeat Gawain's men in one go.

"Launch!" On both sides of Pap's side, each of the four Madam was carried out, and the jihadist wrapped in a turban stuffed the rear door cartridge containing Khitan snow into the long tube, and put a stone pellet called "Bondak" in the breech, after the grunt, he held a torch and lit the fuse of the back door "Bang Bang" exploded with a loud bang, and the trolley of the eight-door Madam slid backwards suddenly, the chains shook, and fierce fireworks came out in unison, and the stone pellets shot rolled and flew over the heads of the dense crowd, straight to the top of the mountain, and hit the center of the barrier one by one ( To be continued ~^~)
