Chapter 362(1/2)
The camels opposite seemed to be panicked, and they stepped anxiously.
So, the fire light came out from the gap between their bodies.
Roger put his lance flat and shouted: "Charge!"
The heavy cavalry who was leading the way lay his flat cavalry and stabbed the camel who was blocking the road together.
The rifle burst and the camel was pushed down.
"Gift II" jumped over the camel's corpse.
Roger had no time to take care of the surroundings. He rushed over his companion who had slowed down in front of him.
His ears were filled with shouts of "God's will", which even covered the terrifying cry of the Egyptian in front of him.
But perhaps the Egyptian didn't scream, but just opened his mouth wide.
Roger had no way of judging.
His spear had pierced into the man's mouth and lifted half of the other person's head off.
Ignoring the blood rising like a fountain around him, Roger Xu's snatched a spear pierced through one enemy's chest and then penetrated into another enemy's abdomen.
Roger seemed to hear the opponent's scream, but he was not sure if the two enemies were screaming, his ears were buzzing.
His right hand holding the gun was instinctively letting go of the gun.
He should be able to hear the "click" sound of his arm's blasting, but his attention was attracted by the enemy who was knocked away by "Gift II".
"Gift II" trampled over a collapsed tent without stopping.
It seems that someone is humming below.
Roger didn't have time to think about why the tent collapsed, and he saw Henk rushing in front of him.
His sword was already on his right hand, and he didn't even notice when he pulled it out.
An enemy soldier rushed out of the slant.
"Gift II" rubbed the man and ran past the other party's left.
Roger's right hand holding the sword shook.
He didn't look back to observe his own results.
There was an enemy with a halberd on the left front and rushed towards him.
Roger let go of the reins, and the shield in his left hand blocked the man's stab.
He didn't care about that enemy anymore.
"Gift II" rushed forward straight.
Roger's right sword lifted a passing torch.
The torch was drawn in circle and smashed it onto a tent in front.
Someone came out of the fire.
Roger didn't pay attention to the man's appearance, and his flat sword cut through the other person's throat.
"Gift II" avoided a horse running without a saddle.
Roger's heels knocked back his horse to its original direction.
A little far from the front right was a man dressed in an officer shouting loudly.
Roger couldn't hear what he was shouting, and the messy shouts had already filled his ears.
The officer was no longer on his way forward, so Roger no longer cared about the other party.
It seemed like a feather arrow rushed out of the darkness.
Roger subconsciously turned his head.
He seemed to feel a stream of air passing through his ears.
He is not sure.
His attention was focused on an enemy soldier in front of him, fleeing with his back to him.
His sword pulled over the other party's back and blood burst out.
"Gift II" kicked the head of a soldier who had just crawled out of a collapsed tent.
A broken hand flew over horizontally, and Roger blocked it with his shield.
He saw Henk in front of him cut off a camel's neck with a sword.
The headless dromedary camel fell down with the rider on his body.
"Gift II" trampled over them.
Roger's eyes went black.
He then noticed the reflection on the Henk chain mail.
The wind blew through his ears.
Roger found himself piercing through the enemy's camp.
He caught up with Henk and continued to move forward with him.
After running for a distance, he saw the Turkic archers waiting quietly in the left and right teams.
Roger pulled the reins lightly to slow down the "Gift II" and ran through the archers.
Finally he stopped and turned his horse's head.
The shadows ran over him and stopped behind him.
Roger saw burning tents everywhere in the enemy camp.
In the fire, Lawrence led a group of crusaders, shouting "God's will" and killed in.
Roger found that his ears had recovered their hearing.
He saw the crusades of the squadrons and skewed the enemy like barbecue;
I saw their swords flashing with cold light, and wherever they went, a mass of blood mist rose;
Seeing their horses rushing and trampling, one after another running past the enemy's fallen body until the body was trampled into blood.
Not long after, Lawrence arrived at Roger's garrison with the heavy cavalry of the second attack array.
Then came the second round of attacks, and the wolves pounced into the flock.
There was no need for the third round, and the remaining Egyptians in the entire camp collapsed.
They fled in scattered areas, and were easily caught, captured or killed by horsemen.
Roger did not step into the camp again. The bloody smell there made him, a person who had been through the battle, feel disgusting.
He dismounted and let "Gift II" rest, but looking at its state, it seemed that he had just finished warming up and was not much tired.
After a while, Lawrence, Odin, and Woodward summarized the casualties.
There were no casualties in the horse-riding sergeants, and there were still 600;
There were no casualties in the Turkic archers, but there were still 1,960 people;
Ten heavy cavalry died and 30 seriously injured. Slight injuries did not affect the battle without statistics, and there were still 2,300 people who could fight.
Usman counted the seizures, and he said happily:
"I made a lot of money. Although many camels died and most of the enemy's supplies were burned, but the war horses were seized in total 1,800 horses."
Lawrence said in surprise: "Why are there so many? Are you counting dead horses and lame horses?"
Usman said happily: "How can you do it? They are all good horses."
Woodward was also surprised. He said: "It is good to grab one or two percent of the enemy's horses in a battle. So, can we kill, well, how many enemies have we killed?"
He pointed his fingers, but couldn't figure it out.
Roger smiled and patted Woodward on the shoulder and said:
"Stop forgetting it, the premise is wrong, can you still calculate it right?
"There are many horses captured this time because the enemy has no time to ride.
"The warriors will only attack threatening targets, and the bareback war horses will avoid themselves, so so many horses will be preserved.
"As for how many enemies are, you will know after interrogating the prisoners."
Soon, Henk came over with the interrogation results.
According to the prisoners' accounts, the number of enemy troops was about the same as the scout captain's original estimate, with just over 4,000 people; the troops were also cavalry, and infantry accounted for roughly half of each.
They all belong to the Egyptian advance forces.
These are all things Roger already knew or estimated.
But this was the first time Roger learned about the advance troops' intelligence totaling about 20,000 people.
