Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 209 You Think You're The One Who's Back
The formation was completely chaotic, the Persians fought and retreated, and the Khotan army chased more and more courageously.

From the beginning, thousands of people fought in a large square formation, and gradually turned into a dog fight between hundreds of people. I have you among you, and you have you among me.

Zhang Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still didn't blow the horn, because the Khotan army had an advantage in forming an formation, and the Khotan army had a greater advantage in a chaotic small group dogfight.

Especially Zhang Zhao's own Regret Mountain Capital, well equipped and powerful, soon played a leading role on the battlefield.

For example, the three of Man Xiong, Dunzhu and Wang Tongtong, although Zhang Zhao is not there, they are not as powerful as the previous four-member team, but the formation of the three of them is enough to deal with the Persian army.

Song Zhongyi was stabbed in the leg, he shouted loudly, and put his cotton armor on the wild bear.

Then the savage bear, wearing two layers of cotton armor and a layer of chain mail, picked up an iron round shield, and slammed into a Persian army of hundreds of people with a howl.

The panicked Persians beat the barbarian wildly, but without their cooperation, it was difficult to break through the three layers of armor on the barbarian bear with the thick-backed long knife and bones in their hands.

Surrounded and beaten for a long time, the man who smashed him was turned on his back by the barbarian bear with a meteor hammer and a round shield.

And later, Dunzhu and Wang Communication were waiting for this opportunity. After the Persians in the tight formation were smashed into a gap by the wild bear, the two followed closely like galloping horses.

Dunzhu had two short spears, and Wang Xintong had two cooked copper maces. The three of them fought faster and faster, and the Amozhi infantry and some Khotan palace guards also took the opportunity to follow up.

After tearing for 2 minutes, the Persian phalanx, which could still persist, dispersed under the great threat of death. Behind them, more Khotan soldiers rushed over, chasing and beating the dogs in the water.

This kind of chasing and killing is the soldier's favorite and most motivating. For a while, the battlefield is full of running and chasing shadows.

The defeat of a small Persian phalanx will often cause a huge chain reaction, and in many cases it can directly scare the left and right phalanxes that can still persist.

The three of the wild bears didn't chase after them, their task was to break the formation, the three of them looked left and right on the battlefield where screams kept coming and going, and then set their eyes on the next target!
'Hey!blah blah! The sound of neat horseshoes sounded, and when the two sides were fighting fiercely, an army protruded from the position of the Persian coach like a whirlwind, and directly charged towards the hill where Zhang Zhao was. It seemed that there were at least four hundred horsemen.

Ha ha!Zhang Zhao sneered, it turned out that this dog Adulal's idea was to beat him up.

No wonder the Persians were on the verge of defeat, and he didn't rush to recruit the troops. He had to let the two armies fight like this. It turned out that he hid a half-armored armored cavalry, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Zhang Zhao directly.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel!It seems that Adulal still doesn't know the prestige of King Ju'er Khan Zhang!

"Send a signal! Let Bai Congxin and Li Ruotai attack, and target Persian coach Adulal!"

Zhang Zhao let out a loud roar, and a huge red flag was slowly raised on the hill where he was, accompanied by the rising of the red flag, and the sound of explosions under the hill.

The raising of the red flag and the explosion of gunpowder are the signals for both You Yidu and Bao Daying's iron horses to attack.

'choke! Guo Tiance also drew out his horizontal saber, and the guards around Zhang Zhao also drew out their weapons.

They didn't think about arranging for the transfer of the coach at all, because they didn't think that four or five hundred riders on the opposite side could defeat them.

Under the hill, with Zhang Zhao behind, 200 people's personal guards formed a formation, with all the refusal horses available.

In fact, he had long been prepared for cavalry to attack him, so the bodyguard he picked out by himself often practiced the most formations.

The charged Persian cavalry were dumbfounded. They never expected that on such a battlefield, the enemy's coach's personal guards could form a formation so quickly, and there were so many repelling horses around them, so they were prepared!

But they had no choice. The distance between the coaches of the two sides exceeded 600 meters. In order to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, these cavalry began to speed up after 300 meters, and began to run wildly within 100 meters.

In addition, the people and horses are all wearing a layer of armor. Although the weight is not heavy, it is also armor, which takes a lot of physical strength.

They could only choose to dash forward, as long as they slowed down a little, it would be very difficult to speed up, because the horse's physical strength had reached its limit after the violent dash.

'Boom!Whoosh! ’ But before they crashed in, Zhang Zhao’s crossbow started shooting first.

Both Fanquan and Fanshun are good marksmen, and the guards trained by them are also quite good at shooting. Zhang Zhao himself is also a master.

Ten god arm bows, one hundred and fifty strong bows, and the soldiers who shoot arrows are also sharpshooters, the power can be imagined.

The Persian light armored cavalry who came successively in a team of five fell to the ground one after another amidst the vibration of the bowstring.

The distance was only 60 steps, and by the time they rushed forward, there were almost [-] people gone, and the charging team seemed sparse.

Uh!The light armored cavalry charged and refused their horses, Zhang Zhao had to admire their courage.

Because the sharpened wooden stick with the thickness of an adult's arm is extremely deterrent to war horses.

Moreover, the horse itself has already been exhausted after a long run, and when it sees the sharp refusal of the horse and hears the screams from the enemy on the opposite side, it refuses to move forward no matter what.

In the end, these Persian cavalry failed to crash in directly, but trotted at a low speed, as if they were meeting lovers they hadn't seen for a long time, and ran over with a kick.

However, the lovers they faced were not so gentle. According to the records of the Song Dynasty military book, Zhang Zhao made hundreds of hook and sickle spears, which happened to be equipped in his personal guards.

These hooked sickle guns are extremely well-made, and it happens that the Persians like to wear chain mail. Therefore, the soldier holding the hooked sickle gun can hook up the chain mail on the knight's body and drag him off the horse. Stay on the horse's legs.

Four or five hundred Persian cavalry failed to rush away from the rejecting horse, and then they were repeatedly stabbed to death by the guards with hooks and sickles across the rejecting horse. At the same time, the bows and arrows in the back row continued to shoot, causing more and more casualties.

Adulal's personal guard captain who was in charge of the raid roared anxiously, wanting to take the lead in forcibly breaking through the repelling horse.

They have no way out, they can't kill or at least force the enemy's commander back, and the failure that will affect the survival of the [-] army will come soon.

But just as he gathered the knights and was about to launch a death charge, amidst the sound of drums, the sound of horseshoes came from all directions.

It turned out that on the outskirts, the light cavalry dogfight between the two sides had already decided the outcome. The Khotan cavalry defeated the Persian cavalry who were far fewer in number and more tired than them.

Hucile led [-] cavalry from the right and directly inserted into the Persian cavalry diagonally. Without the slightest hesitation, they shot a rain of arrows and began to fight hand-to-hand.

Ever since he was tricked by the eldest son of the second-rate in Suiye last time, Hucile found that his status in Zhang Zhao had declined.

Originally, he was the riding captain of You Yidu, the No. 1 cavalry under Zhang Zhao, but now, his status has been ranked behind Bai Congxin and Li Ruotai, and even Guo Guangcheng, the iron horse capital of Baodaying, is about to climb over his head up.

Immediately, he was so angry that he deprived his eldest son Huwei of his inheritance rights, whipped thirty lashes himself, and then rushed to herd the sheep.

However, this was not the fastest way to restore his position in Zhang Zhao, so meritorious service became the only way out, so when he saw that the coach was in danger, he came the fastest and fought most resolutely.

"It's impolite to come and go! Boys, get on the horse with me, let's go meet the Persian coach for a while!"

Seeing the tiger's stinger thrusting diagonally to scatter the opponent, Zhang Zhao let out a long roar, and took the lead to ride on the horse. Now he no longer needs to direct him, and he can't command him anymore.

A brightly colored three-star flag fluttered high, and the big banner symbolizing the coach also stretched with the wind, and everyone on the battlefield saw it.

The cavalry began to gather under these two banners, but the Persian cavalry who went to capture and kill Zhang Zhao had already dispersed.

Adulal's face was pale, but he still decided to save himself. After a few orders, the officers around him gathered some troops and formed a six-row formation with long spears, bows and crossbows, which was used to resist the enemy from coming over at any time. assault.

"Hakem!" Suddenly, an officer pointed to another direction with trembling hands, "Hakem, look over there!"

Adulal looked in the direction of the officer's finger, and suddenly his face turned pale and he was speechless.

It turned out that at some point, a group of armored cavalry had already lined up in a strict formation from a distance, slowly speeding towards him.

"Chess trick! It turns out that Ju'er Khan had already ambushed an armored cavalry in the forest, waiting to strike me fatally. But how did he know that I would definitely march north?"

Adulal roared twice against the cold wind. Ju'erhan was able to intercept him so accurately on the road, he must have known his movements in advance.

"Hakem, get on your horse quickly. There is still our fleet going down the river. You are still needed in the battle. Finally, please stop the enemy for Hakem!"

At the critical moment, there are still some loyal and brave men on Adular's side. He also wanted to express his noble sentiments that he could not abandon the soldiers, but the guards around him did not give him this opportunity. After getting off the horse, they hurriedly surrounded them and started to leave.

At this moment, Bai Congxin and Li Ruotai each led two armored cavalry to about 60 paces away. The horses began to trot slowly, and at [-] meters, they immediately began to shoot with hard bows.

The Persian army was able to shoot their bows without guarding against these armored cavalry, and a large area of ​​the spear array was shot down immediately, while the bows of the Persians shot at the armored cavalry moving with armor, and their lethality and accuracy dropped a lot.

A large area of ​​the spear array fell down, and several large and small gaps were exposed immediately. Li Ruotai led five people to ride out first, and the armored cavalry behind them were also separated by a distance of a horse's head, and suddenly accelerated!
The ground began to tremble. The hundreds of armored cavalry were completely different from the light armored cavalry of the Persians just now.

Twenty steps!
Fifteen steps!
Ten steps!

The Persian infantry temporarily summoned to protect the commander is actually quite elite, but it is precisely because of their elite that they know that their own failure is inevitable.

In the tense air, someone howled, and in an instant, the hundreds of infantry gathered, like termites whose ant nest was overturned, collapsed at the moment when an armored cavalry was about to hit them!

This is the difference between veterans and recruits. Under such circumstances, recruits are either killed in a daze, or lose their lives while running around.

But the old soldier Youzi thinks more, since he has already lost the battle, he should save his life first!

An assault directly broke up the infantry formation, which many people did not expect, including Adulal who was about to run to the river to escape by boat.

Under the threat of terrifying death, the Persian commander led his two hundred cavalry and came to the right to hide.

But he forgot that this place happened to be facing Zhang Zhao's side, so Adulal ran into Zhang Zhao's encirclement as if throwing himself into his arms.

Amidst the excited laughter, Zhang Zhao held Ma Qian between his arms, and stabbed Adulal's chest directly with the momentum of thunder.

Zhang Zhao's Saman Persian general, who could have been consumed by simply relying on consumption, died in battle by the water.
