After arriving at Fuerteventura, Marin's fleet stopped and landed in the island's only port, Port Rosario (called Betancuria at this time).

When I arrived at Port Rosario, Marin discovered that this was not a big port, but just a fishing village. The pier was also very simple to build, and it was inconvenient to stop.

Fortunately, after Schwartz led his army to arrive, he organized soldiers to build several long bridge docks. Otherwise, Marin's large 500-ton warship would not be able to dock even if it came.

Speaking of the problem of ship docking, Marin thought - since it is troublesome to dock the large ships in Port Rosario, then is the same as Ayuen?

So he sent a boat to the Ayuen coast to investigate and found that it was impossible to dock the big ship. In other words, his army could only land on a small boat... Marin was immediately embarrassed...

However, this dilemma did not last long. Because Marin saw the fishermen who returned from fishing and the small fishing boats they drove...

So Malin sent his men to negotiate with these fishermen to rent their small fishing boats. The fishermen refused at first, but Malin spent money and provided them with some military rations in return. In the end, the fishermen agreed to rent the small fishing boats.

However, there are only more than 20 small fishing boats in Port Rosario, and each time they can carry up to 100 people ashore. In desperation, Marin had to send people to Port Las Palmas on Gran Canaria to rent the fishing boats there...

Similarly, under the money offensive, the locals compromised and rented out 50 small fishing boats...

On April 23, Marin led his large fleet and small fishing boats to drive towards the coast of Ayuen. However, in order to avoid being attacked during landing, Marin did not land on the edge of Ayuen, but chose to go south to a distance and log in in an unmanned land.

When landing, the big ship first approached the coast. Then, the hired small boats and local fishermen went between the big boats and the beach, picked up the soldiers and war horses on the big boats to the boat, and then rowed to the shore...

After half a day of busyness, all the troops and horses were able to land. In addition, Marin brought many tents. Because it was already afternoon, Marin did not rush to attack, but announced that everyone would rest for a night.

After setting up the tent, Marin's army began to rest on the beach ten kilometers south of Ayuen...

The next morning, Marin organized a large army, arranged a formation, and marched towards the Ayuen Oasis in an orderly manner...

Because there were infantry in the team, the marching speed was very slow. In order to protect the physical strength of the war horses, the lances were dismounting and leading the horses. Of course, the infantry next to them also helped them get spears.

The herders of the Ayuen tribe discovered them early, so the entire Ayuen oasis began to mess around...

The Arab herders were still fierce. Although they knew that the other party had a larger number of people, they did not retreat. Besides, they had no place to retreat. Because, after leaving the Ayuen Oasis, they had nowhere to go and could only go to the desert to wait for death...

Seeing that the strong men of the Ayuen tribe began to assemble, Marin, who saw the situation through the telescope, didn't care. This time he came to let the lancers defeat their opponents head-on. If it weren't for testing the lancers' abilities, he would have arranged to attack last night.

3 kilometers away from the Ayuen tribe's settlement, Marin's army stopped marching. All the lances also took the spear from the infantry, turned over the horse, and were ready to fight...

Soon, a group of Berber bearded cavalry, about a thousand, waving Arab scimitars, rushed out of the settlement and formed a loose formation...

However, the other party did not attack immediately, but sent someone to loudly ask in the Arabic language:

"Who are you and why are you invading our territory?"

Marin's Arabic translation, under Marin's instructions, replied loudly:

"We are the new masters of Ayuen's Oasis, because we have bought Ayuen's rule from the Assad tribe. You, surrender to us!"

The other party's messenger went back to report it soon, and Ahma, the leader of the Ayuen tribe, was furious. Regardless of whether what Marin said was true, it seemed that the enemy's army was to occupy their hometown, how could they accept it?

So, thousands of Berber bearded cavalry immediately formed the formation, waved their scimitars, and rushed forward with a strange cry...

When Malin saw it, he thought it was a good opportunity and just happened to test the Lancer's ability to attack. So he waved...

After receiving the gesture, Schwartz immediately drew his sword and shouted;

"Lavender, charge!"

So, the lances formed in dense formations began to accelerate slowly in relatively neat formations...

The first row of lancers began to square the spears that were originally standing towards the sky, and pointed the spears ahead. The back of lancers continued to point their spears towards the sky...

Schwartz's lances were trained completely according to Marin's instructions. They had three rows in one batch, with 450 people per batch and 150 people per row. As for the remaining 100 people, they were used as mobile forces to cover the flanks.

150 people are lined up in a row, and they are relatively tightly connected. Each person occupies only 1.5 meters in width. You should know that the horse's hips are 1.414 meters wide, and with stirrups, it is almost 1.5 meters. Each person occupies a width of 1.5 meters, which is very dense.

In other words, these wandering knights from the knight family can adapt to such a formation within a few months. If it were a farmer, it would probably take two or three years to train to adapt, and they could not run fast, and the formation would disperse as soon as they quickly.

These lancers lined up a 225-meter-wide formation and began to accelerate in groups. At a faster speed, they rushed towards the Berber bearded cavalry on the opposite side...

The soldiers of the Ayuen tribe were very fierce at first. However, when they encountered the lancers in such dense formations collided, they were a little angry...

Why? Because the spears of the cavalry opposite must be longer than their scimitars...

If they are loose, they can also use a scimitar to block the spear, and then use their superb knife skills to take the opportunity to wipe the blade on the enemy at the moment they pass by...

However, the opponent's formation is so dense that he has no chance to start...

What made them even more difficult is that if they hedge against the other party, they would have no room to dodge and could only bump into it...

Just as they were hesitating, the lances had already collided...

Although the Berber cavalry were brave, it was useless. Such dense spears on the opposite side pierced their bodies one after another. Even if someone hid under the belly of the horse with his superb equestrian skills and avoided the spear, it was useless. Because the Lancer's war horses directly knocked their war horses over and then trampled by... Many Berber bearded cavalry who avoided the spear were not stabbed to death, but were trampled to death by the horse's hooves...

Of course, Marin also suffered losses. Several war horses were injured and had to withdraw from the battle. Several cavalrymen fell off their horses and were almost trampled to death by their own war horses. Fortunately, they had training before, and they were leaning to the side. After falling off their horses, they immediately rolled to the side to avoid the tragedy of being trampled to death by their comrades.

With just one head-on attack, Ayuen's tribal cavalry was defeated. In desperation, Ayuen's cavalry had to turn their horses and run away.

However, there were also smart and brave men who took small groups of people to the flanks and attacked the flanks of the lances...

In fact, wall charge and flanking are indeed weaknesses, and they have found the right direction.

However, Schwartz had already arranged 100 lancers to cover the flanks. Seeing this, he immediately sent these 100 people to face the Berber cavalry, and quickly dispersed the opponent...

"It seems that wall-type charge and flanking are weaknesses..." Marin sighed.

"Yes, Master, do you think how to solve it?" Schwartz asked.

"Increase the number of cover troops, of course, the cavalry that covers the flanks may not necessarily be lancers. Other types of light cavalry can be used, and even the black-shirted knights can help cover the flanks..."

"Yes, I understand!" Schwartz immediately took out his notebook and wrote down Marin's instructions.

...

On the battlefield, the lances defeated the enemy and soon achieved a decisive victory. The Berber cavalry of the Ayuen tribe fled in scattered.

Marin took the opportunity to lead the army into the Ayuen Oasis and control the settlement of the Ayuen tribe...

However, what made Marin depressed was that the lancers seemed to be unable to catch up with the fleeing Berber cavalry. Therefore, they did not catch many prisoners of war...

After all, the lancers are also considered heavy cavalry. Although the lower body plate armor and horse armor were abolished, the equipment for the conquest was still heavy. Therefore, it was really difficult to pursue those Berber bearded cavalry who were purely light cavalry.

So Marin simply commanded the army to settle down in the Ayuen tribe's settlement. After staying, Marin arranged for the lances to rest and asked the doctors he brought to treat the dozen lancers injured in the battle. The infantry would split half of them to serve the night to prevent the escaped Berber cavalry from coming back in the middle of the night...

Sure enough, the more than 300 Berber cavalry who escaped, led by their equally escaped patriarch, attacked Marin's military camp at night...

However, they were knocked back by the musketeers...

The patriarch Ahma himself was also killed by the musketeers, fell to the ground, and was captured...

As the lances woke up in the middle of the night, they mounted their horses and surrounded the more than 300 night attackers. The soldiers of the Ayuen tribe were completely destroyed. The 1,000 cavalry of their tribe were killed on the spot during the day, more than 280 were captured, and more than 300 escaped, but when they came back to attack in the middle of the night, they were caught...

At this point, the Ayuen tribe was considered to have perished. Marin also took his men and urged more than 500 captured Ayuen men to go to the beach to build a long bridge pier to dock with a large ship suitable for Marin...

At the same time, Marin also mobilized all soldiers, including some Ayuen people, to build a fortress by the Ayuen Oasis Lake for the army to live in. In addition, Marin also decided to leave 500 infantry soldiers as garrisons...

Before leaving, Malin sent people to take away all the knives in the tribe, and even the kitchen knives were confiscated. If those tribal herders need to use a knife to cut their flesh, they also need to apply to the garrison fortress, and then use a knife to cut the flesh under the surveillance of the garrison fortress in front of the garrison fortress... After cutting, they must hand over the kitchen knives...

At night, the garrison lived in a small castle. Although the castle is not yet formed and only the walls are solid, it is enough. Marin didn't have time to organize everyone to build a complete castle, so he just built the walls first. The soldiers set up tents in the walls for the time being. Anyway, it doesn't rain all year round and the climate is warm. After Marin returned, he sent construction craftsmen to help build a stronger fortress...

In the future, Marin even plans to build a large yard, lock all local herders in and set up tents to live in, lock the door at night, and release it during the day... In this way, we will not worry about them attacking the garrison in the middle of the night, nor about them escaping...
