"God guarantees that the Catholics, His Majesty Egil and the Norman Kingdom!!!" The Norman Knights and the heavy cavalry shouted in the final charge. Immediately afterwards, the first formation, a total of 400 heavy cavalrymen suddenly crashed into the heavy infantry line of the 25th Eastern Roman Legion. With his extremely hard training on weekdays, the knights deliberately avoided the spear tips of the opponent and tried their best to protect themselves in the charge. They killed and injured the enemy as much as possible. Using a cavalry to pierce the enemy with a cavalry to use war horses to knock down and trample on the enemy, and it was another part. In addition, in order to prevent the cavalry from directly shaking the array, the formation was arranged very compact. This arrangement indirectly increased the casualties of the heavy infantry in the Eastern Roman.

Of course, this does not mean that the other party's arrangement is wrong. In fact, without a super spear square array, using dense formations is indeed a good way to fight against heavy cavalry charges. As long as you rely on the tight formation and prevent the opponent from rushing the line, then next,

Cavalry that have lost their impact will not be the opponent of more numerous and well-organized infantry during hand-to-hand combat.

Unfortunately, this move is only useful for ordinary feudal knights. These heavy-armed cavalry who pursue personal honors basically have no habit of hitting the second time. Although they like to let their entourage keep their second cavalry for them, they think that retreating is failure, cowardice, and an abnormal guy who absolutely does not allow their honor, and will not retreat after contact with the enemy. It just meets the conditions for dense arrays to fight against the cavalry. The Greeks also experienced the flaws of the feudal knights in the fight against the Western Germans. Therefore, this tactic was specially formulated.

However, this time, their opponent was the Normans.

The despicable and shameless King Egil was commanded by the despicable and shameless Norman heavy cavalry. The tactic that Egil was most proud of from beginning to end was the cavalry bo-stage charge tactic. It defeated the opponent's infantry array with continuous charges in batches, which was the specialty of the Norman Royal Knights and Norman heavy cavalry.

The vast majority of cavalry or knights immediately confirmed that the cavalry had pierced an enemy and then let go of their hands. Then they pulled out their mace or battle axe and suddenly slashed towards the nearest enemy soldiers next to them. With just one blow, no matter whether it was effective or not, they quickly turned the horse's head and staggered it with the second array running from behind, then ran behind the third array and charged again.

In this way, a total of 1,200 heavy cavalrymen broke the enemy's first formation after a charge without any suspense. Then they ravaged the enemy's second formation after the second round of charge. During the melee, the commander of the 25th Legion was cut through his throat by a royal knight in amazement. The personal guard holding the legion flag beside him was also killed the next moment. The legion flag was stolen by another royal knight.

During the period, when the second round of charge of the heavy cavalry began, the lances on both wings of the legion and the lances on the other two legion on both wings of the legion also wanted to take the opportunity to rush over to join the battle, but what greeted them was the attack of the light cavalry of the Norman Kingdom.

The nearly 4,000 Norman light cavalry following the Norman heavy cavalry sequence used the heavy cavalry as shields and were not injured by the Greek crossbows. Until this time, as the opponent's lancers rushed out and blocked the opponent's crossbows, the glancing cavalry and the Finnish light cavalry took action and rushed towards the opponent's lancers.

Speaking of which, with the successive victory of Eastern Rome, blind optimism and arrogance began to spread among the Eastern Rome army. They believed that their country and army were simply a bunker. Neither the pagan barbarians nor the heretic German barbarians were opponents.

Therefore, the Empire did not attach great importance to intelligence work. It also generally despises the Norman army, believing that "the barbarians are barbarians. Just a few tricks and even play with them?" So, today, the Roman army must give heavy lessons for their pride............

Seeing the opponent's first array move forward quickly, the crossbow soldiers holding crossbows in their hands, and the longbow soldiers holding longbows who were even further backwards shot out the rain of arrows after running into the range, shooting the Eastern Roman Lancers who were preparing to attack the Norman infantry into sieves. At the same time, the decisive warriors holding both hands roared and started charging... Epirus was anxious, and if this was the case, his side would definitely be defeated this time. Thinking of the terrifying torture exerted by his own emperor Basil II on the defeated general. Epirus fought a cold war and decided that he would die in battle would be more enjoyable.

"No, it's not that level yet. There is still hope. Epirus forced himself to throw this unlucky idea behind his mind, and then ordered the legion he commanded himself to advance at full speed to fill the gap left by the 25th Legion. A total of four Roman legions were arranged in a T-shaped shape by Epirus. In front were three legions advancing together, and behind were the legion he commanded as a reserve. But Epirus didn't expect that it had just been more than an hour since the war started, and his reserve force was going to come in handy...

The battle situation was striding towards the direction that was favorable to Norman. The heavy infantry formation in Eastern Rome was baptized by the longbow and crossbow, and the charge of the soldiers to kill, especially in the middle. Although Epirus' order was extremely pleasant, the front line was still sunk toward Ran, and it was dangerous to be torn apart again...

"Slightly, a little... no, it should be said that this is too weak, right? Even if there are fewer cavalry and a smaller overall number, it should not be so weak. Is Rome just an empty shell for being strong outside and doing it in the middle?!" Egil watched his Norman professional soldiers defeat the Roman heavy infantry step by step. He said such words in surprise.

"It seems that the previous arrangement was a bit too much..." Egil was so small

A voice muttered.
