Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 54 The Far Away Empire
To go or not to go?For Mahashed, this is already a very pressing issue.

It stands to reason that fifty cavalry can't move ten people on the opposite side, and one on the other side is not injured. Four people have been killed and seven or eight people have been injured on their own side. If they continue to fight, there will be no good results.

However, Mahashd quietly looked at the knights gathered around him, everyone showed signs of retreat and hesitation, even his confidants were the same.

You don't need to guess, you know, if he retreats like this now, he will never be able to hold the team anymore.

Because you can't beat ten people with fifty riders, who will play with you in the future?Can I still get money by hanging out with you?

Taking another look at the war horse resting in the shade in the distance, Mahashd made a decision, and he said in a deep voice to a close friend beside him.

"Go and feed the horses some water and wheat. This time, instead of riding on the horses, we will replace them with bows and long knives. Bendihekan will fight these Tang children on foot!"

The crowd didn't react, because everyone could see that Tang'er was difficult to deal with. They didn't have the same worries as Mahashed, and they retreated as soon as they retreated. It's better not to get anything than to lose their life.

Seeing that the interest of the crowd was still not high, Mahashd could only spend a lot of money.

"Let's just charge once, and leave if we can't get down. Anyway, there are not many horses on the opposite side, so we can leave whenever we want.

See those brocades and silver piled up by Tang Er opposite?I only need [-]%, and the rest will be shared equally! "

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding knights reacted enthusiastically. As far as the belongings piled up by Tang'er are at least worth eight or nine hundred silver coins.

If Mahashd only took [-]%, each of them could divide more than [-] silver coins. You must know that in Balasagun, the most beautiful slave girl is less than ten silver coins.

"Okay! Dihkan, Aroldo, from the blaze, is at your command!" Inspired by the high reward, the little lord Ge Luolu, who controlled more than a dozen other knights, agreed.

In fact, the pace of wars in this era is relatively slow. The kind of war that killed thousands of people in a day has basically never appeared in the Western Regions after the decline of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

An appropriate metaphor, the battles between the countries and tribes in the Western Regions at this time were basically pecking at each other.

So after Mahashd on the opposite side mobilized his knights, the battle did not break out immediately.

Mahashd, who thought that Zhang Zhao had no mobile cavalry, first let the knights who had charged twice eat something, and after resting, they slowly put on armor such as leather armor and chain mail. At least when the impact just now, there is no armor.

retreat!This was Zhang Zhao's order. Although he was not afraid of the 40 people facing him, it was unnecessary to increase casualties.

The lethality of an infantry bow is not comparable to that of a cavalry bow. Zhang Zhao's armor is sufficient to protect it, but horse kites don't necessarily have to wear ring armor.

Moreover, Bai Congxin and others who circled back should have already been in place, and retreating to the Populus euphratica forest is the best choice. Unfortunately, the soldiers in Shandu haven't seen blood yet!
"The enemy is terrified! They are terrified! Don't let them get away, warriors!" When Mahashd saw Zhang Zhao leading the crowd running towards Populus euphratica forest, he immediately felt relieved. He shouted and took the lead to charge forward. .

A group of charging troops also put away their step bows, and let the swords do the rest!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The excited war drums sounded, and Mahashd, who was about to go to the Populus euphratica forest to pick up silk and silver collars, noticed something was wrong. He stood on a stone and looked at it. It's all numb.

In the Populus euphratica forest, countless soldiers suddenly appeared, holding spears and swords and shields, almost everyone was wearing armor, at least seven or eighty people.

A man in golden armor rushed out quickly, and with a shake of the short spear in his hand, the Ge Luolu man who rushed in the front fell down.

A series of intense bowstring sounds sounded, and both sides chose to shoot at each other unanimously.

It's just that there were screams from Mahashd's side, but the other side was hardly hurt.

It turned out that all the arrows from my side were shot at the man in golden armor who was standing in front, but the armor of the man in golden armor was very protective. Although his body was covered like a hedgehog, he didn't even slow down in his movements.

'boom! The two sides bumped into each other suddenly, and Mahashd wanted to retreat, but the other party came too fast, so fast that he didn't even have time to turn his head and escape, and the tragic mutual stabbing with long guns began.

Since both sides have armor, stabbing once does not make the opponent lose their combat effectiveness. Often a fighter falls, at least after being injured four or five times.

The two sides howled crazily under the stimulation of adrenaline. They had no time to block and no time to think about escaping. They just stabbed each other again and again based on instinct.

However, the strength gap between the two sides is still too great, but after three minutes of stabbing each other, seven or eight people around Mahashed fell down, especially Yan Jin, who was extremely fierce with the Mo Dao.

In this short-term fight, the cruelty of fighting with cold weapons was fully revealed again. In the era of hot weapons, a bullet would often end a person's life, and people's thinking time would be shortened, so they could withstand a relatively high casualty ratio.

The cold weapon feels the constant loss of life in the continuous fierce fighting, especially the armored people, most of them are not stabbed to death, but are constantly injured and have to fight fiercely, and die of blood loss .

This is also the main reason why in large-scale decisive battles in the cold weapon era, less than [-]% of the casualties are often enough to cause the team to be unable to continue fighting.

It's a long brutality that only the bravest fighters can endure without breaking down!

One knife!Two knives!Three swords, Yan Jin's slashing was faster and more violent, and with his loud shouts, the chest of a warrior in chain mail opposite him had been chopped into the shape of a squirrel and mandarin fish.

Finally, in his fourth slash, the tough warrior fell, and it was Mahashd's flag-bearer, Aymandu.

With the fall of this warrior, the menacing Mahashd gang collapsed directly. They turned around and ran away crying, throwing their weapons all over the place, and many of them took off their old armor while running.

Zhang Zhao did not participate in this duel. He was carefully observing and observing the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of Regret Mountain City whom he had pinned his hopes on.

The result is very satisfying to him. Although the integrity of the discipline and formation is not good, the bravery is definitely much better than that of the opponent. As long as these people can be trained well, even if there are more than a hundred people, it is definitely a rare and brave team. teacher.

Arodo ran in the front, and he had already thrown away the skirt armor and breastplate on his body!
What the hell is this man who is a businessman, who can bring nearly a hundred soldiers to the business route?The gleaming Mo Dao and the familiar yet unfamiliar golden armor reminded Aruo Duo of a distant empire that his father and grandparents talked about - Datang!
