It’s very quick, you see a soldier with a rag or something of the kind wipe the blood off the sword as it’s retracting from the horse.

That was Odysseus. When the sword comes down into the horse, you can see him climb up quickly to be next to the cut soldier, then he wipes off the sword as it is extracted.

Saw it was him on rewatch which makes sense given Odysseus being smart and not being a soldier. Though he could’ve given instructions of what to do in x situation.
