Chapter 476: The Bait That Can't Be Refused
The Fierce King stopped, looked back at Akon deeply, and then turned to leave. The steps are firm and dignified.
Green Wing stepped forward, "I'm going to help him......"
Akon stopped, "We have more important things to do, and the feint troops need people too, don't they?" ”
"Feint troops, leave it to our team." Apdu stepped forward at this time, and two of his followers followed him, "My position in the Arab camp has been restored, and I have improved, and I may do better than you over there." The battle on the Fierce King's side can't help much with our ability, so you can help him. ”
He paused for a moment and said, "Please believe that it is not us who are greedy for life and afraid of death......
Zhang Fan stepped forward and hugged him, "No one would think so, old friend." ”
Akon thought for a moment and said, "That's the best, I'm not worried about the Fierce King's side, after all, Patigul is not here, and I have the obligation to take care of his teammates." It's settled, everyone hurry up and prepare, it's going to be a tough battle! ”
…………
Unlike the Arab camp status of the Apdu team and the Fierce King, Zhang Fan's team can only be regarded as a marginal mercenary, and at this point, his team has a high degree of freedom. Because I've been dealing with the Byzantines in the port of Acre, I've lost a lot of scenario tasks. Now back to the main battlefield, you can only take the initiative and see if there will be any gains. Moreover, Zhang Fan's scene task has not been completed, and this time the battle should be able to have a chance.
Zhang Fan's team came to Harding Village in advance to check the terrain, the villagers here had already been scared away, and the village was very quiet.
"When you first start fighting, you don't rush to complete the task of going head-to-head with the knight, it will be too dangerous. Wait until there are lone knights. "Akon takes care of Zhang Fan, this dangerous task, I would rather not complete it, but also save my life first.
"I know, don't worry too much, I have King Kong, it shouldn't be a big problem." Zhang Fan is still very confident in his strength. No matter how powerful the Crusader Knight is, he probably won't be the opponent of King Kong.
Zhang Fan and the goblins began to check the equipment and organize the props.
…………
Saladin was a very good war commander in history, and as soon as the fierce general Jihua of Akon said this, he immediately realized that this could be a turning point in the battle. Especially ecstatic to learn that the Byzantines were no longer a threat, but an ally! Even without the help of the Byzantines, Saladin was sure to defeat the Crusaders in a short time.
Jihua began to proceed, and the elite Arab soldiers who were selected had a large part of Saladin's reserves, which were his killer troops. Among them were a considerable number of knights in armour, like the Crusader knights, who fought with swords and spears. And hundreds of sharpshooters selected from the hosts! These archers possessed great archery skills that could shoot the Templars in the eye through the cracks in their barrel helmets! The combination of these two powerful units, along with the heavy shieldmen and spearmen who can withstand the onslaught of the Crusader Heavy Knights, allows the Crusader Knights, who were known for their fighting power in the Middle Ages, to fall and quickly enter the area of Hardin Village to ambush!
On the other side, Saladin's baggage troops also moved closer to the front line, and the most direct benefit was that the soldiers on the front line could get supplies faster. Of course, this also put the baggage troops in a very dangerous situation.
In the process of charging, the Crusader knights quickly discovered this piece of fat that had no resistance. The aroma of the baggage camp soon attracted the attention of the Crusader commanders. It's a huge bait, so big that even if the target is suspicious, he can't refuse! "It's incredible, is Saladin famous? Such an obvious mistake actually appeared at such a critical time in battle! It seems that God is really watching us! "Gerrard was overjoyed.
The actual commander of the Crusaders, the Templar Commander, Grand Knight Gerald, immediately devised a tactic to attack the opponent's baggage. The Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller, as well as the 1,200 Knights of the Crusaders, led by Grand Master Rogge of the Knights Hospitaller, led all the cavalry and organized one of the most powerful Crusader offensives. It looks like he wants to open the passage of Harding Village in one fell swoop and go straight to Tiberias!
With the baggage battalion behind them, all the Arab troops knew that there was no joke about it, so the resistance was unexpectedly fierce! Saladin's secrecy was done very well, and none of the subordinate front-line generals knew the specific Jihua. This allows the actual battle on the battlefield. Like a real battle for the defense of the baggage, there is no moisture!
It seems that the other side really made a low-level mistake, Saladin was too eager to defeat the crusaders and neglected our combat effectiveness! Gerard and King Guy, as well as the Archbishop of Acre, thought so!
The battle was extremely fierce, and countless Arab cavalry, one after another, blocked the fearless iron cavalry of the two major knights with flesh and blood! Baptized by strong religious beliefs, they dared to hedge against the Crusader knights in a way that they were not good at! At the cost of your life, buy time for the baggage battalion behind you to retreat!
But the liliang between the two is too great! The iron hooves of the Crusader heavy cavalry trampled on the will of their opponents repeatedly, and the Arab defenses finally showed a slight loosening......
The hole in the defense line is like a wooden bucket full of water, once a crack appears, then the whole bucket of water will leak! What's more, this is still a barrel of fiercely boiling magma!
The Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, Rogge, saw that the opponent's defense line was porous, so he took the lead and led the knights of the personal guard to set up fierce cavalry spears, form a triangular attack formation, and break into the Arab army!
"Not for us, all glory be to God!" Rogge shouted, his whole body shining with holy light, his summoning affected the other knights, the summons were quickly responded, and the slogans of the Crusader knights, like rolling waves, resounded in the sky like mountains and seas on the battlefield! Countless shining holy lights began to shine like stars, and zuihou formed a tidal wave and rushed towards the Arab formation!
The main general of the Arab side, seeing the momentum of the other party, knows that it is going to be bad, but at this moment, it can show weakness, and the brave one wins when the two strong meet! This is an eternal truth!
"Thank Allah for sending the enemy into our hands!" The Arab lord shouted, boosting morale! The Arab light cavalry on three sides, like black locust swarms, chanted the name of Allah and poured into the white in the center!
The great knight Gerald, standing on a high place, immediately waved his hand, thousands of infantry archers spread out from both wings, raised their heads to the sky and pulled the bowstring, and under the command of the commander, a black cloud composed of pruning branches, crossed a perfect parabola, and densely rushed towards the Arab light cavalry! The cavalry of the crusaders was covered by archers!
The Arabian light cavalry had very weak protection, and both men and horses had little armor in order to reach the fastest speed. The round shield in their hands can't protect their whole body, let alone the horses! Therefore, when the long pruning prune, with the acceleration of falling from a high altitude, pierced their bodies fiercely......
"Quick! Disperse the formation! "The cavalry centurion commanded loudly, and the well-trained Arab light cavalry showed superb horsemanship at this time! So many knights avoided it, but they didn't fall into chaos! The black cavalry group suddenly dispersed in formation, as if rushing into the ink of clear water, and fainted and scattered on the ground. But even so, the crusader archers who shot alternately, the density of pruning shots, still made many Arab riders fall! Most of them were shot at a larger horse and flipped to the ground.
Under the cover of the archers, the Crusader cavalry was like a wedge, accurately wedged into the gaps in the Arab positions! The subsequent heavy cavalry quickly expanded their gains and soon carved this gap into a huge hole! The fat cake behind the hole beckoned to the Crusader knights......
It's just that this fat cake is slowly leaving the battlefield, and the stubborn resistance of the Arab warriors is not useless. At least they did win some time, it was just too short. Only let these camels carrying heavy burdens run less than a mile! The soldiers of the baggage battalion anxiously drove away the frightened beasts, cursing viciously in their hearts, the commander who gave the stupid order to transfer them to the front line!
