"Damn it, damn it all!" Saladin, usually a gentleman, couldn't help but curse.
Leprosy King Bob Win coughed incessantly, his body trembling with anger.
Although the losses from this clash were not significant, it was incredibly infuriating.
Lin Mo clearly wanted to send a signal that the Great Xia army had no shortage of water and sufficient supplies.
Therefore, the Bactrians wanted to wage a protracted war of attrition against the combined forces of Saladin and Bobwin.
The attack of the Hu-style archer cavalry had only one purpose: to harass them and psychologically attack them!
“We don’t have the time or the resources to wage a war of attrition against them!” Bob Wen said breathlessly.
"Yes, attack!" Amon shouted in agreement.
Under these circumstances, Saladin knew perfectly well that he had no other choice!
Therefore, Saladin and Bobwin's allied forces launched a full-scale attack without reservation, attempting to make this battle a decisive one.
At this moment, their only option is to fight to the death and annihilate the entire Xia army in order to escape this damned desert.
Seeing this, Lin Mo gripped the Dragon Slayer tightly, his eyes burning with fervor.
On the other side, following Lin Mo's ingenious plan, Yue Fei gripped his spear, his gaze fixed intently on the battlefield ahead.
The tens of thousands of Beiwei soldiers behind him were in high spirits and ready to engage in this fierce battle at any moment. In the ensuing clashes, they would become an irreplaceable main force.
On Bobwin's side, the thirty thousand Templar Knights stood in perfect unison, solemn and dignified.
Their commander, Gerard, stood at the forefront, his eyes piercing, as if he could see through every subtle movement of the enemy.
The knights had already formed their charge formation, their armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight, and their weapons were incredibly sharp, exuding an unstoppable aura of power.
They awaited their commander's order, and once given, they would charge into the Great Xia formation like a raging storm.
"They're getting anxious! These guys are getting anxious!" Lin Mo thought to himself, "They actually want to have a final battle here."
Alright, then I'll play along with you!
"My lord, another Iron Turtle unit has disappeared!" Xu Chu reminded him.
He was referring to the Knights Hospitaller.
"Of course I know! Those bastards are on our right flank!" Lin Mo laughed. "Don't worry, I've already deployed my troops. The Tang Dynasty's Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry—this time, Xiang Yu can lead them to drink their fill of blood!"
"And what about our left wing?" Xu Chu asked again.
Lin Mo grinned, "Qin Liangyu has already led the Macedonian pike phalanx there to guard the area; there's no chance of failure!"
"Hehehe, my lord, you are truly a master strategist!" Xu Chu praised.
"Silly boy, this time you finally used the right idiom!" Lin Mo patted Xu Chu on the shoulder. "This time, my Fan Kuai, you can finally fight to your heart's content!"
"Haha, my lord, how about another contest? Let's see who kills more!"
"Come on then!" Lin Mo laughed.
After speaking, he waved his hand and led his most elite Imperial Guards and 10,000 light cavalry to bypass the enemy from the flanks without anyone noticing.
Their target was the rear of Saladin and Bobwin's combined forces.
Qin Liangyu was on the left wing, Xiang Yu on the right wing, and Yue Fei's Beiwei Army was in the center.
All three routes were led by famous generals from Chinese history, and the enemy army had been thirsty for several days.
Although the enemy has a numerical advantage, they have absolutely no chance of winning in this situation!
Saladin, Bobwin, and Amun watched the battlefield ahead with immense anxiety.
The situation was worse than they had anticipated.
What kind of attack can we expect from an army that has been thirsty for several days?
Roger, the Grand Master of the Hospitallers on the right wing, was anxious. His group was the first to engage in battle with the heavily armored cavalry of the Tang Dynasty led by Xiang Yu.
Last time, because of Lin Mo's orders, Xiang Yu could only suffer a very frustrating "defeat"!
That's why Roger was full of confidence after his last great victory.
at the same time.
The Knights Hospitaller had around 20,000 knights plus over 40,000 ordinary cavalry, while the Tang Dynasty's Xuanjia heavy cavalry numbered only 5,000.
Roger's side also has a clear numerical advantage.
At this moment, Roger's proud lips were practically pointing to the sky.
However, this time...
The next second after the two sides' heavily armored cavalry clashed head-on.
His smile vanished completely.
Instead, their faces were filled with astonishment and fear.
Holding the Chu halberd, Xiang Yu instantly killed the Hospitaller Knights in front of him, sending their heads flying.
In just one encounter, the Tang Dynasty's heavily armored cavalry had already cut down thousands of Crusaders.
After one round of charging, both sides turned their horses around, preparing to launch another attack.
Roger, the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, was speechless with astonishment at the sight before him.
On the battlefield, countless crusader knights' corpses lay scattered haphazardly, their tragic state a horrifying sight.
Some had their skulls shattered, with brain matter splattered everywhere; others had their limbs mangled, with blood flowing freely.
Every drop of blood that seeped into the sand left a dark red mark on this land.
Intestines flowed out of the ruptured abdominal cavity, mingling with the blood on the sand to form a pool of blood, mixed with some unidentifiable bits of flesh.
These corpses are proof that they were trampled by that iron cavalry.
Their bodies lay on the sand in various contorted positions, as if making a final struggle.
Some had their limbs twisted and turned, while others had their heads rolled to the ground, their eyes, devoid of life, were gray and empty.
The sand had lost its original color, turning a deep crimson stained with blood and flesh.
