The Daggerfallers continued their charge, while the rest of the army slowly marched closer. Since the heavy cavalry was keeping the Legion's attention they didn't notice the approaching troops.

"Shieldwall!" Legate Astien yelled. He was near the infantry and had been given command of them by the General for the battle.

The Legionnaires in the front formed up tight and used their diamond shields to form a strong defense. They held their swords out, just above the top right side of their individual shields, ready to thrust at any incoming cavalry.

---

"Run them down!" Crendal yelled over the loud thuds of the hooves. The heavy cavalry neared the shieldwall. They switched their shields to the front as the archers were now shooting in a lower arch and thus at the front of the cavalry.

---

"Now." Roderic muttered. He drew his sword. "PINCER!" He yelled out and rushed forward, hitting his horse hard on the sides to go into a gallop.

The other Legion cavalry, mainly composed of light cavalry, followed suit. Both flanks rushed forth at fast pace.

The two cavalries met just as the Daggerfallers smashed into the shieldwall.

---

The first few horsemen fell as the shieldwall held but as more and more smashed against it the formation began to weaken and break at places.

Prince Crendal's position was one of those. He broke past two Legionnaires and swung his sword at the one of the right, catching him on the shoulder.

The second row attacked his horse, but before they could do any real damage to it he thurst, stabbing the man in the neck.

Roderic's cavalry attacked the Daggerfallers from the back and flanks, having executed a Pincer Manuver on the enemy. The Daggerfaller knights were now surrounded.
