Chapter 461 Iron Armor Oslo
Aken and Green Wing followed the army on the right side of the Muslim road into the Pacific Mountains, because this is the army that will really fight against the cross in the future. On the other side, Apdu's team and the fierce king Alimu followed Saladin and rushed into the city of Tebale without any effort, surrounding the Earl of Raymond's wife in the camp castle in the city. Of course, they also received relevant combat missions in the newly launched Battle of Hardin.
For the besieged Lady Raymond, although Saladin did not need much effort to break through this weak fortress, the wise commander did not do so, and he even kindly let go of the breakout knight sent by Mrs. Raymond for help. Of course, this is not Saladin's demeanor, but his desire for the crusaders to leave their strongholds and attack themselves.
When the Thapare fell, the crusaders had also left the port of Acre and stationed at the 'Saffrey Fountain', which is located two kilometers south of the city-less town of Saffyja. It is surrounded by fertile arable land, sufficient streams, and there is no shortage of water in summer. It is often used as a base for the Crusaders. In 1183 and 1184, the crusaders twice refused to fight with strong positions.
Therefore, there was a fierce dispute between the upper levels of the crusaders here. On behalf of the militaryly talented Earl Raymond, he advocated the defense of Saffria. Although his wife was besieged, it was doubtful whether he had feelings for his wife. His proposal is very popular among experienced knights.
The other side is the stupid but powerful Reynolds and Jarred, the head of the Knights Templar, who strongly persuaded King Ghouyi of Jerusalem to abandon the plan. The meeting ridiculously denounced Raymond's advice as a traitor, believing that refusing to fight would certainly humiliate everyone. It seems that Saladin is about to get what he wants!
Except for the Byzantine fleet in the Mediterranean and the German Teutonic Knights marching in Asia Minor, everything in the Middle East is performed according to the script of history.
Aken and Green Wing were also tasked to go out to investigate, taking more than a dozen light cavalry to the east as close as possible to the crusaders' positions to check the enemy situation. The task is not complicated, just look at the position of the leading troops of the crusaders, and you can fight without contact. Of course, there is a reward for killing the crusaders. More than ten kilometers is very time-consuming for the large troops of the crusaders advancing on the sidelines. But Arken's Green Wing has Willis fast maneuver, which is just an hour.
In fact, the Muslim army has sent a lot of small troops like this, mainly light cavalry, to detect and harass crusaders along the way. There are 7,000 people scattered along the way from Safuria to Cape Hardin, but so far, there has been no fighting between the two sides, which shows that Safuria's crusaders are still huddled in positions and have not acted.
"If only we could create something wrong and let the crusaders act ahead of time." Aken stood high and looked at the enemy with a telescope. As a lieutenant of Tang, it can be said that there are too few people driven by him and Green Wing now, which is inconsistent with his identity. But this is a Muslim army. In the past, it was the enemy of the Tang army. It was very preferential to give them more than a dozen cavalry regardless of the past.
"What can you do?" Green Wing asked. I'm not good at thinking about things.
"Knights are the most honorable. If you find a way to humiliate them, you should be able to stimulate them to act quickly." Aken smiled and said, "If the Battle of Hardin starts earlier, the sea and land reinforcements arranged by the wise man of the other side would not be caught up. At most, drag us and the Muslim army into the Third Crusade!"
"How to humiliate them?" Green wings go straight to the point.
"Find a few left-man crusader soldiers to kill, strip their bodies, write them in Arabic, and throw them in front of the other's barracks. They definitely can't stand it, hehe..." Akan smiled evilly.
"Why don't you act quickly?" The green wing hit the horse and ran down the mountain.
"Hey, you are so impatient, you have to plan..." Aken had no choice but to keep up.
............
This is an abandoned village. The name on the map is Mariscalcia, which is ambushed here and may catch the crusader scouts. There was a sneaky soldier in front of him, and his behavior was suspicious.
Oslo has long found this group of Muslim cavalry, and they seem to want to set traps in this abandoned village to ambush the crusaders. But the location they chose really made Oslo uneasy. The abandoned farm warehouse where they hid those large wine barrels was too close to them. If these guys ambushed at night, they will go in and rest, then they will discover their secrets!
No! I have to get them away! Oslo carefully observed the dozen Arab light cavalry at the ambush.
"What?! There is a strange car! It turned out to be a precept holder. Oslo became even more uneasy, "This is what the boss said about the fate! There must be a high fortune among the two precepters, and my secret led him through. Damn the scene!" Oslo gritted its teeth. I have to lead them away, and those who hold the precepts may be able to communicate.
Oslo made a big circle and sneaked up in the area near Aken's ambush. It deliberately showed the ability of the ring holder to change props, so that Acon Green Wing found that he was also a ring holder.
"It seems to be a discipline holder of the other camp." Green Wing whispered.
"Don't move and see what he wants to do?" Aken asked the cavalry not to act rashly.
Oslo set up a simple trip rope on the main road of the village, which looked like an ambush to capture the Arab cavalry. He pulled the end of the stall and hid in the shabby house.
Aken smiled, "This guy pays the same attention as us." After saying that, he made a gesture and waved his hand to lure the enemy alone.
Oslo saw an Arab light cavalry running along the road and knew that the other party found himself and deliberately lured the enemy. So he held his breath and pretended to deal with the Arab light cavalry.
The trip horse bounced up fiercely. If the other party didn't notice it and was caught off guard, the horse would inevitably lose its front hoof. But the Arab light cavalry had been on guard for a long time, and his riding skills were also very skillful, and he easily beat the horse over the suggested stumbling horse. He turned around and rushed to Oslo. The ringer hurriedly responded and raised a spear to fight with the Arab light cavalry.
"Let's go! Catch it alive." Aken waved his hand, and the light cavalry roared over.
The ringer was shocked and quickly ran away! But how can he run over the Arab war horse with two legs! Soon after, he was caught up and surrounded the single ring holder. The guy was overwhelmed by the encirclement of the cavalry and was fascinated by the dust raised by dozens of horseshoes. Green Wing rushed over, and the crusader pointed at the other party, "Put down your weapon and spare you to die!" However, the ring holder seemed to want to resist, but was shot in the thigh by an arrow by an Arab light cavalryman, who screamed and fell to the ground.
Several Arab cavalry disbanded him, tied him up and brought him to the Green Wing. Aken also ran over and let the Arab cavalry hide on the spot. He and the green wing escorted the ringman into a dilapidated room.
"What's your name and what are you doing here?" Aken was also rude and shook the ring of the ring holder on his finger and asked.
"You are also commanders!" The strong man who held the ring was shocked and said, "This is not our war, so there is no need to draw a knife for each other. Everyone lives in the scene. My name is Oslo. When I heard that Arab light cavalry often haunted this area, I thought of coming here to pick up a few bargains, but I didn't expect to meet you as soon as I arrived. Fortunately, you are precepters. If you are real Arab soldiers, I will be doomed.
"Are you alone or have a team?" Aken frowned and asked.
"I have a few companions. They are not happy to come, but I just sent them a letter, and they may come." Oslo said.
Aken Green Wing looked at each other and said, "You are very confident that you dare to come out to kill Arab soldiers. It's a pity that your ability is not as bold as yours? Why doesn't a person run so far without transportation?
Oslo is a little embarrassed. "I still have a strong defense. Everyone calls me 'Iron Armor Oslo'. The team has a truck as a means of transportation, which is inconvenient to take it out in a hurry. By the way, you also led the team out to scout. I have information about the crusaders. Let's exchange it for mutual benefit.
