Chapter 287: The Battle Situation Has Changed(2/2)
The screams sounded like a crack in the sky and the earth.
For a moment, people were in panic.
Roger saw that the Germanic infantry group slowed down the momentum of the forward rush.
The northern barbarians with red eyes and longing for fighting and blood seemed to have regained their calmness.
Even the Germanic infantry who rushed in the front and were still fighting with urban militias and javelins, no longer fought hard.
Roger was a little panicked. He felt that his army seemed to collapse.
At this time, the enemy took new actions.
Roger heard the sound of enemy horns.
He saw the flag of Rom Sultan Masud and was slowly moving backwards.
The enemy archers were turning their horses back, as if they were about to leave the battlefield when their opponents were exhausted and had no time to fight with them.
Roger was anxious.
He did not think his opponent had lost the courage to fight and was ready to run away.
He knew that the opponent had changed the tactics of blocking the spot.
Obviously, the enemy commander had realized that his troops were not tired and vulnerable due to lack of water.
Based on the information collected before, Roger speculated that once the enemy's archers and cavalrymen distanced themselves from their own troops, they would use their ultimate moves.
The trick that archers are best at - kite tactics.
Once these light-fitting archers who are good at riding and shooting run, they will have to take all the cavalry and fight with them, and they may not be able to catch up.
At that time, the situation of using "cannon fodder" to fight the other party was completely out of control.
In the eyes of running archers, these infantry are just targets for movement.
How did the 40,000 elite Roman infantry of the ancient Roman giant Crassu be killed by the light cavalry of the Rest Empire in the Battle of Carle? Roger, who had watched American dramas in his previous life, still know about it.
Roger absolutely cannot accept such a result.
He shouted, "Roar up, rush up, stick to them, don't let them run away!"
He himself no longer hid outside the enemy's range.
Roger rode his horse and ran forward along the left edge of the battlefield.
He no longer cared about his own safety. He was thinking all over his mind that he would hold back his opponents no matter what, and he would never let them run away.
He even thought that even if the enemy fired another volley at him, it would be better than letting them widen their distance from their own army.
The guards followed Roger and shouted loudly, passing Roger's orders out.
Danny, who was following the Germanic infantry formation and the knights of the officers' regiment, also shouted and urged, and encouraged the Germanic infantry to rush forward.
But the balls of flames that rose from time to time made the German infantry hesitate and dared not charge.
At this time, Roger saw William in the distance getting angry.
He yelled: "Bastard, coward, coward, come on me!
"I've never seen fire, I'm afraid of a bird!"
Roger saw William rushing forward with a lead, taking the lead, and slashing the magic throwing oil soldier who wanted to sneak attack him.
The personal guards around William used their swords to lift the pot of the magic thrown pot from the oil soldier's hand away.
The lit pot flew backwards and fell into the camp of the enemy archers and exploded.
Many horses were covered in fire.
The horses were in pain and began to rush around, and the archers on the horse could not control them anyway.
Roger saw the archers and decisively drew his short sword and stabbed it into the horse's neck, killing the disobedient Spurs.
William's actions inspired his knights and cavalrymen.
The fleeing cavalry also trampled on Germanic infantry because of the massacre, which aroused the anger of the infantry.
After the officers' knights shouted Roger's order to "kill the deserter without mercy", the infantry rushed forward and pulled off the fleeing cavalry and chopped them into pieces.
So the right-wing front became stable.
The soldiers there rushed up again with all their might, clinging to the archers and fighting with them.
The archers who were trapped in a melee could not even turn the horse's head, and they could not distance themselves from their opponents.
"Swoosh"
A single arrow breaks through the air.
Roger was as if he was shocked by electric shock, and his hair was blown up.
He turned his head and looked forward.
An arrow flashed with a cold light, facing his face.
"Bang"
A Norman sword came over and took off the arrow that attempted to challenge Roger's thickness.
Roger turned his head and nodded to Genke, who saved his life, to express his gratitude.
He thought that this fool is still reliable when fighting.
Then Roger stopped observing the battlefield, and he drove his horse hard to move forward.
He thought, William could do it, so could I.
Roger yelled as he charged: "Come with me, fight with me!"
He heard the hesitant Germanic infantrymen and began to clamor again, as if he had regained his courage again.
Roger thought, sure enough, "fight with me" and shouted, it was more exciting than "fight with me".
No wonder in later war movies, the army that the commander shouts "fight with me" can always defeat the army that the commander shouts "fight with me", regardless of whether the latter's equipment is obviously better than the former.
At this time, Roger saw that Odin brought more than 1,000 Norman cavalry and killed them again, and they rushed towards the enemy's back.
These Norman cavalry were lined up in two neat rows.
Their horse heads were in parallel, with their knees pressed against their knees, forming the Norman traditional wall-type charge formation.
A short spear flew towards Roger from the left.
Although he was observing the enemy situation, Roger, who was not completely distracted, raised his shield and knocked his short spear away.
Then he rushed into the enemy's front.
He rode his horse and ran away a slow-moving town militia.
He let go of a javelin who flexibly hides to the side.
Then he rushed to the middle of two archers who were busy abandoning their bows and drawing their swords.
He waved the "mosquito bite" and slashed left and right, killing two people in the blink of an eye.
Before the bodies of the two archers were caught, Roger had already rushed over them.
His sword stabbed into the stomach of a archer in the back row, then twisted his wrist and pulled it hard, and the sharp "mosquito bite" directly opened the other party.
A scimitar hits from the front of the side.
Roger raises his shield to defend.
The scimitar made a "sharp" sound on the shield in vain, but Roger had no choice.
Roger didn't care about the archer who was attacking him, so he just rushed forward.
He believed that the guards behind him would help him solve this problem.
