.Chapter 42: Bloody Battle with Sol Port (V)

Blood ticked down the cracks of the stone wall, soaking the soil.

The earth seemed to be the drank beauty's charming and red cheeks, all with blood.

The Byzantine cavalry troops came in full force. From their activation to near the stone wall, it was a matter of breath. The soldiers of the Crossbowman Camp only came to shoot a round of arrows, and under the leadership of Wang Xiaobao, they had to pull out their swords and prepare for melee battle.

The cavalry has a very powerful frontal impact, but it refers to heavy cavalry. It is unrealistic to expect light cavalry to crush the infantry formed into a line like a tank. Besides, in the middle, the soldiers on both sides have been mixed up, and the cavalry cannot play much role.

So, what they have to do now is to hit the obviously damaged stone wall in the west and enter the interior of Thor. In this way, their lethality can be maximized.

But will the people of Western Qin make them do what they want? It is obviously impossible.

The Byzantine cavalry showed bloodthirsty smiles because they saw that the other side seemed to realize the gap in the western defense line, and several troops were rushing there.

However, these damn sneak attackers realized it was too late. The horses had already plucked up their energy and galloped. The group of idiots on the opposite side could be faster with just two legs?

When the soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty were about a hundred meters away, a Byzantine cavalry had already jumped up and crossed the low-high stone wall very easily. Although the light cavalry did not have the spirit of the heavy cavalry to block the gods and the momentum of moving forward, in terms of flexibility, it was not comparable to the bulky heavy cavalry. At least, the heavy cavalry could not jump at this meter-high stone wall, and it was possible to hit it.

The Byzantine cavalry running in the front, his father was an old knight, a nobleman who was not a noble, but he was just an ordinary civilian. He wanted to accumulate military achievements and reproduce the glory of his family. This road was very difficult to walk, but now he seemed to see hope. His opponent's defense line had been thrown under him. As long as he killed a few more enemies, the generous Master Bartos would enthrone him as a knight.

Just as this cavalry was fantasizing about a beautiful future, suddenly, the place where it fell was not a flat piece of land, but a bunch of thatched grass after a group of thatch.

At that moment, his intuition told him that there were some unknown and fatal hidden under the thatch. Never get close to it, but it was too late. He was in mid-air and could not have time to change directions. Moreover, behind the stone wall, there were many such "thicken fields". At most, the change of landing direction was just another unknown place running from an unknown place.

"Ah" The cavalry had no time to scream with his beloved horse, and then there was no movement.

Where he landed was a relatively huge pit, filled with sharpened wooden thorns. The huge impulse carried by the cavalry when they fell, which made him approach the embrace of the god of death faster.

On his dying day, what he saw was the pair of horrified eyes of his companions who followed him, as well as yellow-skinned faces, these faces without any emotion.

The Byzantine cavalry "got to die generously" one after another. If they continued like this, their companions would always be able to step on the bodies of their predecessors through this "death swamp" carefully arranged by the Western Qin people.

However, this obviously goes against human nature. Survival is a nature that cannot be erased, or, in such emergencies, it is difficult for many people to make the most rational actions, especially when this "reason" is based on sacrifice.

The soldiers who rushed in the front subconsciously pulled up the reins. Although they did this, the companions who followed closely could still knock out the rush and survived, but there was still hope, which was much greater than surviving by just rushing into the other party’s trap so stupidly.

For a moment, these five hundred cavalrymen were no longer as powerful as they were when they charged just now. However, this also destroyed the stone wall in this section, as if this was the only contribution they could make.

To be honest, Bai Zhou did not expect the Byzantines to choose to send cavalry to attack here so "obediently", and he did not expect that the trap group that did not take much effort to set up could play such a huge role. In fact, if the Byzantine cavalry on the front line were cautious enough to face the unknown "thicken grass" and choose to attack in another direction, these "gatellites" would not only fail to play a role, but would instead delay the deployment of the Western Qin people.

Perhaps, the Byzantines were just thinking about how to win, but they were eager to win and did not maintain a rational mindset. Of course, strictly speaking, they had never encountered such a "vicious" opponent before. They had seen conventional defensive equipment such as horse resistance, but such as tripping ropes, pits, caltrops, etc., especially chain use one after another. They had never seen it in actual combat before.

The people of Xiqin naturally would not miss any opportunity to kill the enemy, especially this opportunity to pull the teeth of the tiger's mouth. Any kindness on the battlefield is right cruelty and irresponsibility to life.

"kill"

Without even ordering, the people of Xiqin have begun unilateral massacres.

This is a unilateral massacre. These Byzantine cavalry not only lost their most precious speed, but most of them even fell off their horses. They were already in a panic and could not organize any effective counterattacks at all.

The Earl of Batos in the distance was full of hearts and he felt distressed. That was his most precious armed force, but he was trapped here. If he was five hundred ordinary infantry, he would not feel distressed. He was just a pariah. As long as he wanted, he could replenish it at any time. But now the cavalry officials who he regarded as the lifeblood of was slaughtered, so Batos naturally could not keep his mind calm.

"The whole army has it, rush up to me. There are not many demons on the other side, rush up to me."

In fact, Bartos had long seen that the number of troops stationed in Saul on the opposite side was not large, otherwise it would be impossible for this not-short line of defense to appear to be loopholes everywhere.

But he was cunning by nature and was worried that the other party would have a second move, so he never dared to send all the troops. But now, all the cavalry were trapped there, and after this observation, there seemed to be no second move on the opposite side, so Batos finally dared to give in. Except for a fifty-man personal guard unit, everyone attacked.

"Very good, just wait for you to give this order." Bai Zhou showed a cruel smile on his lips, and he wiped his eyes, which were blurred by the enemy's blood.

A black smoke rose slowly inside the Port of Sol, and it seemed particularly conspicuous in this battle where firearms were not used.
