This group of French troops was the product of French military reforms that Philip was proud of. They were wearing chain armor, and a hard leather armor crane was worn outside to strengthen the defense of the torso. The defense was considered good. The front row of soldiers held a strong zither shield, maces, hand axes and other weapons, while the weapons equipped by the soldiers in the second array were long-handled hook axes with stronger lethality and greater attack range. The third, fourth and fifth rows held super spears.

This compound square array composed of multiple troops has better lethality and stability than ordinary ones, and the traditional square array can be regarded as a better one. It can be regarded as a modified square array--a five-row array consisting of more than 1,000 French soldiers in total, with each row of two hundred soldiers, and a team of thousands of men can defend a large distance. The battle situation of the left wing front began to improve after such a team of thousands of men joined, and more infantry and participating knights gathered together to form a more stable front. The battle situation of the left wing became more stable.

After Egil's order, the light cavalry on the left wing began to move toward the side and to a more edge, in order to impact the opponent's flanks and achieve tactical effects.

Compared with the left wing, the right wing, led by Charles King of Burgundy, was quite stable. As soon as the war began, the Norman Empire sent officers and messengers to the right wing. These officers who were proficient in various languages ​​and studied various strategies and tactics, were sent to help Charles command. Therefore, in terms of command, Charles seemed more handy than Philip of France, who was only able to command by his own people.

So, the king quickly made a judgment and changed the army's arrangement. He arranged the Swiss super spear phalanx that he trusted more, the Swiss halberd soldiers and the country's military reforms and improved elite super spear sergeants and halberd soldiers in the first row. The square formation composed of super spear sergeants and halberd soldiers can maintain an extremely strong front. Therefore, compared with the twists and turns of the left wing battle situation, the right wing crusaders were invincible from the beginning.

After the two sides entered a melee, Charlie made some adjustments to the army, retreating some of the front lines and the super-length spearmen as reserve troops to the back, and dispatching more sword and shield soldiers to the second line - European soldiers were usually equipped with larger zither shields, kite shields, and even oval shields and teardrop shields. The protection effect was better than the small round shields that the Arabs prefer. When the soldiers lifted them over their heads, they could effectively prevent the long-range bow and arrow from being ejected - of course, these shields were also heavier.

Next, Egil, the leader of the Crusader, sent another order, requiring the cavalry that had not yet entered the battle to continue to detour to the two wings. The right wing troops did not fight all the elite knights as soon as they came up. The better-preserving knights and the light cavalry began to detour to the two wings of the enemy.

At the same time, when the battle situation on both the left and right wings was stable, Egil was in the center, and with the sword of his assault infantry, he bulged the front nearly ten meters away. It was completely different from the situation where the left and right wings were suppressed by the opponent's bow and arrow. Because the Normans seized several commanding heights of sand dunes, and Egil and Robin Hood, the commander of the long bow soldiers under Egil, were both experts who were proficient in bows and arrows, so the situation was the opposite on the front battlefield. The Arabs were suppressed by bows and arrows.

Under such circumstances, some noble officers on the Arab front planned to launch a counterattack against the Crusaders and recaptured the dunes and highlands that were commanding the commanding heights. A large number of Egyptian Imperial Guards equipped with two-handed axes were used as vanguards and began a counterattack under the command of the noble commanders on the front.

At this moment, the troops on both sides, as the backbone and the best offensive forces, are basically the same. The Egyptian Imperial Guards and Norman Assault Infantry are all equipped with heavy armor, without shields, and double-held long-handled tomahawks. Their use methods are exactly the same, assault, swing tomahawks to break the opponent's front, and sprinkle blood rain... Such offensive soldiers are equipped in various powerful empires. As a sharp knife, they are more powerful and more demanding than their colleagues in terms of physique, treatment or training. Of course, the treatment is also the best...

In this battle, the Egyptian Imperial Guards and Norman Assault Infantry were elites against elites, and the sharp swords competed for sharp swords. In such a war, the Norman army won all sides!

"You ask why we win? The factors are many, my friends." At some point, Egil would be asked about similar things by allies with whom he made. At that time, Egil would say something like this:

"For many reasons--first, all the elite soldiers under my command are Norman elites from the harsh snowy areas. Their combat power, wildness and violentness are higher than those who grow in warmer areas. Secondly, the empire smiths and weapon smelters are very excellent. This ensures that we can get more weapons than the opponent. Thirdly, the Norman soldiers are more scientific in training--we have strict written military regulations, more scientific, flexible tactics, and more professional professional officers who graduated from the military academy (or may be officers first and then go to the academy for further study). Of course, there is also the fourth and most important point--this army is commanded by me, Egil Scadragrimson, and Emperor Norman himself."

In this way, under the emperor's personal command, the opponent organized several counterattacks, all of which were resolved by Egil one by one. The Arab officers looked up at the dunes covered with layers of their bodies, and seemed furious. Every time they attacked, they would be concentratedly shot by the opponent's crossbowmen. They were not equipped with shields, wearing scales and armor. These armored guards, which had no good defense effect on crossbow weapons, suffered heavy casualties. When they fought against the Norman assault infantry, they were more likely to be divided and surrounded by the number of enemies, and then gradually eroded and eliminated...

In this way, although the battle situation was a little repetitive, it was generally developing in a direction that was more favorable to the Crusaders... At this moment, the sun had already set westward. It was February 10, 1006 AD!
