This is the busy day in Kherson (This book comes from %..com, free full text txt download) A tired, rigorous and orderly day. In the morning, it is a matter of dealing with government affairs and studying the conquest of the New World, and in the morning, it is an intelligence decomposition and relevant government officials to study further. In the afternoon, it is a tea party to discuss agricultural reform. In the evening, it is a very strong individual combat training. In the middle of the night, it is a very difficult time to sleep because the training intensity is too high and the muscle strain is strained. He has to get up and run to the infirmary so far...

In short, you can see from the above chapters. How responsible, diligent and loving the people, how hardworking and hardworking the emperor is. And how sad it is to do the work of the emperor, especially a wise monarch like Egil. Because it is too hard, I can't get up on Nightingale's bed, and I was almost caught by Artoria. This is what a sad thing.

Just as His Majesty the Emperor was working hard for the country and country of the Norman Empire, the battle between the elite melee cavalry and light archers of the Norman Empire and the Arab light cavalry of the Fatima dynasty of Egypt also kicked off.

The three 100-man teams of Norman Light Cavalry, a total of more than 270 cavalrymen, were raided by thousands of Arab cavalrymen who were ambushing in the city in advance. After a rush, hundreds of people were lost. However, they broke out.

The Arab cavalry suffered a lot in the previous battles. The Norman fast horse scimitar was better than the Arab cavalry. The training and tactics were not as good as the Arab cavalry, and such casual non-professional soldiers could compete with each other. The Arab cavalry only relied on the weather to achieve slightly better results than the Eastern European nomadic cavalry.

Now that the Norman cavalry has finally won the Norman cavalry for a while, the Arab cavalry commanders were extremely excited. Without thinking, they urged their subordinates to continue chasing. After the messy Arab cavalrymen left the city and followed the Norman cavalry's footsteps for a long time, they saw that the cavalry had already regrouped and were waiting for the light archers to be on the front, with bows and arrows, and on both wings, more melee cavalrymen held long swords and shields, arranged in two neatly tofu blocks. Nearly two hundred cavalrymen in the entire Norman army were arranged into a geese formation. Under the leadership of three cavalry centuries, they stopped retreating. The array was very strict, and they wanted to fight the Arab cavalry several times their own.

Seeing this, the morale of the Arab cavalry who were already shouting for fighting and killing suddenly became bleak. They had not had fought with the Normans before. If it was a melee between swords, guns and guns, then even if the Norman cavalry was well-trained and had strong combat power, the Arab cavalry would not be unable to fight with them. However, if the Norman Empire array was strictly fighting with them, even if the number of Arab cavalry exceeded that of the other side, most of them would not be able to win.

However, at this moment, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. The Arab commander calculated that his army still had thousands of soldiers and horses. He had won a little before and his morale was high. However, the opponent's soldiers were only 200, only one-sixth of his own. He had been defeated for a while before...

"Attack, charge! Allah guarantees the brave!!!" The Arab commander waved his scimitar, roared loudly, and issued an order to attack.

The Muslim believers were really fanatical. When they heard the holy name of Allah, they immediately threw their fear of the Norman cavalry out into the sky. They roared wildly and charged towards the Norman array with the scattered formations that were common in the medieval cavalry.

However, Allah may be willing to guarantee them.

But they really couldn't guarantee the white robes on their bodies. Under the rain of arrows formed by the volley of compound bows made by the archers and cavalrymen, the Arab cavalry wearing only one white robe suffered heavy losses. Suddenly, the howlings of people and horses sounded. The bright red blood wet the desert!

Norman light archers fired two rounds of volleys, and the Arab cavalry on the front weakened a lot. Then he saw the Arab cavalry rushing over. He dropped the bow and arrow, held the light cavalry crossbow at his waist, raised his hand and pulled the trigger!

At such a close distance, the opponent's cavalry had no possibility of dodging and blocking. The characteristic crossbows used by light cavalry crossbows are half shorter than ordinary bows and arrows. Although the range is shorter, the speed is faster and less likely to be observed. A total of more than 80 crossbow arrows fired at one volley. After a buzzing sound, the Arab cavalry was cut off one layer!

Just when the Arab cavalry lost another group of losses due to such a sudden attack, the melee cavalry on both wings of the Norman army rushed over, like two sharp toothed daggers, hitting the two wings of the Arab cavalry. The modern-style sabers in their hands were much stronger in texture, specifications and practicality than the traditional scimitars used by the Arabs, and the two long swords often collided interlaced. Norman's sabers could leave holes on the opponent's blades, and the grease-applied hard leather armor used by Norman was strong and flexible, with a very strong defense.

Although he is relatively weak in fighting heavy weapons or blunt weapons, he is also weak in fighting spears, spears, bows, crossbows, arrows, and long sword stabs, but it is very effective in dealing with light weapons and slashing. Arab cavalry often cannot break the Norman armor...

With the equipment and formations defeated the opponent, the Norman Cavalry steadily gained the upper hand. The solemn light-armed archers in the Norman Array were able to move away and then turned around. A round of scattered shots killed many Arab cavalry. Then he turned his horse's head and went around the flank of the Arabs. After a round of bows and arrows began to charge, and then another round of crossbow arrows at a close range. After using long-range projectile weapons to kill the enemy as much as possible, he turned his whistle horse's head and retreated again at the moment when he was about to fight with the Arab cavalry.

"Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, these damn, cunning pagan cavalry!" Seeing that the light-mounted archers were suddenly unstable, the war was strange, but they were even more vulgar and charming than the Turkish archers in the northern neighbors. The commander of the Arab cavalry cursed in anger. At the same time, he ordered loudly: "Divide the troops! Split some of the cavalry out and entangle them!"

However, the Arabs were not as convenient as the Normans. The organization was not as strict as the Normans. Thousands of Arab cavalry came from different Arab tribes and cities. Except for one commander-in-chief, the other Arab nobles were not subordinate to each other and had no relationship between superiors and subordinates. So after this command continued, the messengers finally found a cavalry on the back and conveyed such an order.

The light-clad archer took a detour to the other side, and there was another wave of arrows.

In this way, on the front battlefield, the Norman cavalry formed a dense cavalry wall, and the Arabs who cooperated to kill each other were bleeding into a river. The light-mounted archers were harassed by kites, and kept moving back and forth around the opponent's array, killing a large number of Arab cavalry with compound bows and cavalry crossbows. A small number of cavalry equipped with bows and arrows were also scattered. They could not form dense firepower like light-mounted archers. Therefore, they could only be beaten passively.

In the end, when the Arab cavalry on the front suffered heavy losses, the bodies of the cavalry and war horses were spread all over the ground, and their morale dropped sharply and they fell on the verge of collapse. The Arabs, whose organizational degree was loose to a tragic level, finally divided nearly 200 cavalry and chased light archers. The archers did not fight with them. While using bows and arrows to kill the enemy, they retreated. Both sides chased and fled, and soon disappeared on the horizon...

"It's so damn... It would be great if it was on the Eastern European grassland."

The Arabs didn't know. At this moment, the cavalry and archers were constantly complaining. They thought to themselves: If they were on the cool Eastern European grasslands, then these thousands of ragtag Arab cavalry had already been defeated by them and rushed over, and they could directly break through the opponent's scattered and outrageous formation. How could they need to be so troublesome?

However, this is not Crimea with temperate continental climate, nor Eastern Europe with sub-cold zones, nor Neo Scandinavia with more northern cold zones. The Norman cavalry were not accustomed to the local conditions. Their skin was chapped by the sun and their skin was lost in large quantities of water these days. The number of cavalry lost in fighting the Arabs was even less than that of the symptoms of heatstroke, dehydration, etc........... It can be said that such hot and drought weather was the biggest enemy of the Normans.

At this moment, the proud cavalry had been fighting with the enemy for nearly two hours. If it was in Eastern Europe and the Normans' own territory, then the cavalry that had endurance training, as well as the No. 3 Norman war horse carefully cultivated by Norman trainers and horse breeding experts, can continue to fight.

But here is Jerusalem.

At this moment, after more than two hours of fighting, the cavalry and their mounts were about to reach their limits. However, the Arabs and Arab war horses were not. They still had the strength to continue fighting. The two centurions quickly used the horn to summon them together. They believed that although they had the upper hand now, it was unlikely to defeat the Arabs in a short time. Perhaps before defeating them, the physical strength of their own army would reach the limit. By that time, it was impossible to say that all three hundred teams would have to explain here.

After the conclusion was completed, the two centurions made a quick decision, sounded the horn and began to retreat along the way, and then joined the team of light archers and cavalrymen. They killed more than 200 enemies chasing light archers and retreated calmly...
