?Because as long as the knights' impact distance is too far, the infantry troops behind them will be raided by Muslim light cavalry! One of the sneak attacks caused heavy losses to the archers of the crusaders. That time it was done by the evil king Alimu, who led the Arab cavalry, and he wiped out an archer unit on the flank of the crusaders in one fell swoop. "

This made the knights of the two major knights have only force but nowhere to use them. They could not give up on infantry because if they lost the protection of infantry archers, the overwhelming rain of the other party would cause serious casualties to themselves.

However, Saladin's troops are not easy. The long-term battle has caused the poor quality and loose management of Arab cavalry and some foreign troops to become lazy. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the opponent's knights also makes these mercenaries feel timid. Now there is no need to issue orders. When these light cavalry see the charge of the knights, they will immediately turn around and flee. Although this reduces the damage to the troops, the morale of the army will be greatly impacted. Once a real general attack is launched, this is a sign of the collapse of the troops!

Saladin was a little anxious. He began to assemble the most elite cavalry and prepare to plan an effective attack to severely damage the opponent's knights. His troops needed a victory too much! Let his soldiers know that these crusaders were not invincible, otherwise the morale of the army would fall to a low point! And I heard that the Byzantines had landed...

At this time, the return of Zhang Fan's team was really good news for Apudu's team and the evil king Alimu. Since Patiguli went to the Seljuk Empire, they really needed the battlefield layout of the wise. Apudu and the evil king Alimu were discussing how to arrange a successful attack and annihilate an opponent's knights in one fell swoop! After hearing Akan's contact, they immediately came to greet him on the way, and check the situation on the battlefield to see what good opportunities there were!

"It's not possible to continue like this! Before the Byzantines come to help, we will lose first." Akan and Zhang Fan looked at the battle scene of Harding Kok. The combat effectiveness of the Arab light cavalry was really not worth boasting about.

"Saladin is gathering elite cavalry and preparing to organize a head-on attack against the Crusader Knights!" said the evil king intently.

Aken shook his head, "That will only speed up our failure! It is too stupid to use our army's weaknesses to attack the opponent's strengths. No matter how elite the Arab cavalry is, it cannot be an opponent of the Crusader Knights! We need to find another way..."

"What are you good ways?" asked the evil king, "I can suggest to Saladin." His Arab camp status seemed to be quite low.

Aken ignored him, looked at the situation on the battlefield carefully, pointed to a village with a relatively low terrain far away, and asked, "That's Harding Village, right?"

The evil king looked back and replied, "Yes. That is the only way for the Crusaders to attack Taipalais! 200 meters below Harding's Corner..."

"I remember Saladin's troops had a baggage battalion. Where is the current location?" Akan asked.

"Not far from that village." The evil king answered questions and knew everything. He knew the situation of the army well.

Aken turned around, closed his eyes, and calculated silently in his heart. After a moment, he opened his eyes and asked, "Can you convince Saladin to move the camels of the baggage camp to the battlefield and reach this position." Aken drew a simple map with a dagger on the ground.

When the evil king saw that it was very close to the battlefield, he immediately shook his head, "That's too dangerous. With just one charge, the opponent may break through there and destroy our camel fleet."

"Yes, I just need them to do this!" Akan inserted his dagger into the dirt.

"What?!" The evil king's eyes were glaring like a copper bell, "Without supplies, we will lose this battle."

Aken looked up at the evil king. The giant man put a lot of pressure on people, but Aken smiled and pointed at the battlefield, "Look, the opponent's knights charge the longest distance, must be there. This is the farthest range of their archers, and it is also the best distance for cavalry to return to defense. If they cannot reach a distance, we will not be able to separate these two troops. But if there is a piece of our big fat piece here, what will you do if you say these brave Crusaders?"

The evil king scratched his head, "They will definitely continue to charge. Although this distance is dangerous, it should be cost-effective if they suffer a little loss and defeat our baggage. And at their speed, they have time to rush back when we attack their infantry." Last time, he took advantage of the crusade cavalry's assault a little too far, and took the risk of launching a successful attack, defeating a archer unit spreading on the flank of the Crusaders. As a result, the knights who returned to defense were killed and killed heavily.

Akan took a stone and placed it where he asked the baggage battalion to be located. He slowly moved towards Harding Village, and then took another stone to represent the crusade cavalry and quickly chased from behind. The evil king looked at him with a straight look. As the opponent's cavalry troops gradually moved away from the infantry support distance, he sighed in his heart that the wise man is different, this calculation ability!

"Hehe, so I can lead the elite cavalry to attack their infantry from here!" Alimu happily took a big stone and rushed straight into the opponent's position from the flank!

"No! Your location is here..." Akan put down two stones that were closed in Harding Village, indicating that the baggage battalion had been caught by the opponent's cavalry, but he placed the elite Arab cavalry of the evil king outside Harding Village.

"You just said that you can't fight head-on..." The evil king was puzzled. This was to let Saladin's elite attack the opponent's knights directly, but the location was changed, but what's the difference?

Aken smiled, stood up and patted the shoulders of the fierce king who was squatting on the ground in a daze, "The difference between this and the frontal battle is... guess..."

The evil king was sweating all over his head, "I can't guess... either the terrain is more beneficial to us. The terrain of Harding Village is very low. If we charge and attack from a high place outside the village, their cavalry will be very passive..." He was like a big boy, scratching his head in confusion.

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "If I were the commander of the Crusader Knights, I would never let all the cavalry troops pursue the baggage. I would definitely divide the troops here, part of the troops will return to defense, and the other part will attack the baggage. Therefore, in fact, in Harding Village, there are only half of the knight troops there. If we are using one unit to feint their positions, they should have half of the cavalry. Then we can annihilate half of their cavalry troops with superior forces and favorable terrain in Harding Village!"

Aken looked at Zhang Fan with approval, "That's right. I'm afraid there will be fewer cavalry units pursuing, because this may be a suicide pursuit. Their knight commander will not be unable to see such an obvious temptation. But this is really worth it."

"But if we lose the baggage, we can't fight for a long time. If the other party passively avoids the war, we will lose." The evil king found the key to the problem.

"We don't need to fight for a long time. We just need to consume the opponent's strength as much as possible, because..." Akan looked west, "because our reinforcements have arrived!"

"Reinforcements?" The evil king was stunned and then understood, "You said the Byzantines?"

Aken nodded, "Ten thousand Byzantines, maybe their heavy cavalry troops will arrive first. As long as we cut off part of the strength of the crusaders, these Byzantines will help us solve the remaining ones! Their heavy cavalry is not comparable to that of the Arab cavalry. Also, let Saladin prepare contracts and gold coins. How to comfort these Byzantines who came from afar should be Saladin's strength. After all, he did this in the Third Crusade in history!"

"Great! I'll make a suggestion now!" The evil king threw away the stones excitedly, stood up and patted his butt, and was about to leave.

"Patiguli is not here, you have to pay attention to your own safety and don't let her think that I was lying to you to die..." Akan said lightly. He knew that fighting the Crusaders head-on, even with the most favorable terrain and superior forces, victory was not so easy. Because there will be at least two hundred knights there! This should be the most difficult battle!
