Roger nodded and said, "What you both make sense.

"There is a famous saying in the East that you should not consider winning, but you should first consider losing.

“Although the enemy is unlikely to run horses in farmland on such a dark night, what if they do?

“So we have to be prepared for both.”

Roger solemnly said to Odin: "The cavalry you led in this battle is very heavy.

"In the early stage, you need to brave the rain of arrows and transport the soldiers to the front line as soon as possible.

"After the infantry took the beachhead, your cavalry should be ready to rush over at any time.

"Once the enemy's archers retreat, whether they are running away or preparing to implement kite tactics, you must lead the cavalry to rush over and stick to them."

Odin said with some concern: "We cavalry are not afraid of fighting against the enemy."

"But we are not familiar with the terrain on the other side, and the sky is so dark...

"Captain, your order may cause us to lose a lot of people."

Roger knew that Odin was right. When he was chasing Masoud in the farmland under the bright sun, he was always worried about the ridges and the soft soil in his heart.

And in such a dark night, my order was like asking soldiers to run on the edge of a cliff with their eyes blindfolded.

But compared to losses, Roger could not afford to fail.

So Roger said to Odin firmly: "The enemy is much more familiar to the terrain than we are.

"If they really have the ability to implement kite tactics in such dark nights, we will face a defeat and we cannot afford such consequences.

"So the cavalry must have a big picture view and cannot just care about their own losses. Everything must be focused on winning this battle."

So Odin solemnly promised: "Abide by the order, commander, I swear that even if the war horses step over my body, the cavalry will stick to the enemy tightly."

Roger instructed Odin: "If the enemy fled back to Heraclia, you must chase me too.

"If you can, take the opportunity to seize the city gate, and then we will capture their city in one breath."

Odin nodded and promised.

Finally, Roger shouted: "If you take life and death indifferently, if you don't accept it, you will kill the Roma people!"

So everyone shouted together: "Do it!"

At this time, Shana shouted: "Where are me, and there is the Detachment of Women?"

"Captain, why did you miss us?

"We're going to fight too!"

Roger had never thought of letting women fight, but after Shana reminded him, he thought that there was no way out, so why bother to worry about so much? It would be good to have more strength.

Roger thought for a while and said, "Shana, I remember you said that those women screamed loudly, right?"

Shana said proudly: "That's right, they can scare the enemy away when they scream."

Roger said: "When our troops start crossing the river, you let the Detachment of Women stand on the bank and shout to the other side."

Shana pouted and said, "What is this task?"

"My Detachment of Women is very good at fighting. Their axes have cut and cut off many enemies.

"Why did you let them yell on the river bank?"

Roger explained: "Don't underestimate this task.

"In this battle, we are ready to fight a melee, and once we fight, we don't need to convey orders.

"But the enemy is not, on such dark nights, they must have to convey commands through sounds..."

Shana interjected and retorted: "Not it. If you convey orders tonight, you can shake them with a torch. Haven't we done this training?"

Roger smiled and said, "The shaking of the torch can only convey some of the simplest commands, which is far less effective than language.

"What's more, the enemies gathered from all over Rom and have not been trained in a unified manner.

"Do you think these Roma, who have just changed from herdsmen to warriors, can pass commands like our systematically trained Sicilian soldiers, through the sway of flags or torches?

"What's more, I guess the battlefield will be very chaotic by then. In that case, even I gave up shaking the torch to pass the commands. Do you think they can do it?

“So in this case, they are most likely to convey commands through sound.

"And if they can interfere with the transmission of their orders, they can create chaos for them and opportunities for our troops."

Roger said in a tone of coaxing the child: "This is called 'battlefield interference', it is a very important tactic."

Shana seemed to understand, and she said happily: "As for the commander, we must ensure that the 'battlefield interference' tactic is completed.

"I'll tell them to let go of their throats and shout.

"Captain, just prepare to cover your ears, the sound will definitely not be light."

...

The night became darker and the temperature on the Anatolian plateau landed rapidly like a slide.

It was obvious that the hot sunlight caused people to get heatstroke when the sun was hot, but in the middle of the night, Roger actually felt cold and needed to add clothes to resist the cold.

Roger, who had traveled around the world in his previous life, knew that this was the inland climate, with a huge temperature difference between day and night.

He patrols the camp and sees that the soldiers are all ready for battle.

Many people are moving their bodies to keep themselves warm so as to avoid stiff movements and misperforming in the subsequent battles.
