Within mere minutes, the men had crossed more than half the field towards you, veering ever so closer to the left. Away from the forest, indeed...but not enough to remain out of your range! Soon, a broken volley rings out from the wagons as the Bluefeathers who had been in position to do so fire upon the knights, and not a second later, they are followed by a cloud of smoke emerging from the treeline, your own arquebusiers adding their guns to the mix. The effect is immediate: Several dozen of the knights thrown from their saddles, to be left behind or crushed underfoot by those behind them. <span class="mu-i">Not a single one of the horses, however, seems to suffer the same fate.</span>
Faced by fire, the knights, begin to move left, breaking their pyramidal formation, moving even further from the forest and the muskets, away from where their guns could hit. Yet before they do so, they are met by one another volley, a singular volley, the one-man barrage of cannonfire! Your Saker, readied once again, throws out yet another shot and impacts one of the formations of fleeing knights upon the rear. This time, not even the horses are spared - the cannonball tears through the mass of knights, destroying them whole. Their numbers make it all the worse as the mares trip and fall over the body of their comrades ahead, felling several more knights who are unceremoniously thrown from their sadles together with their horses.
Yet despite these volleys two, despite these murders, you have but made a dent in the foe. They continue to advance, continue to gallop across the field towards you - and your men have yet to arrive in their formations. Had your plan been too haughty? Had your refusal to sacrifice your horsemen robbed you of the time that you had needed? No! You could not waste your concentration on wonderings of what might have been. You must decide now...

>Abandon the plan! Call back your men to form around you at once, to protect you from encirclement and flanking. Those who are too far will simply have to make it for the trees...
>Abandon the plan! Call back your men to form around you at once. Have your arquebusiers flee back to the trenches where the horsemen will, at least, find it difficult to charge them.
>Keep up the plan! Have your cavalry charge out to meet the Famiglia, even if to just buy you a morsel of time.
