Han Hai Tang Ergui

Outside Heyang Town, shouts and killings kept coming and going.

Bai Congxin dispatched [-] troops to line up outside the city, like a rock in the waves, unswervingly enduring wave after wave of attacks from the Persian army.

The two sides fought from sunrise to early afternoon Shenshi (three o'clock in the afternoon). After paying the price of 5000 casualties, the Persian army finally succeeded in breaking up the formation of the Han army and dividing the Han army into three pieces.

However, Bai Congxin did not panic at all, because it was not his main force that the Persian army scattered.

As the main force, the four thousand heavy armored infantry and the six hundred parts led by Lu Sanlang himself are still gathering together, and they have not reached their limit.

Even the less powerful teams that were cut and surrounded, the Persians couldn't afford it.

Abu Yousuf felt a little bad in his heart, because he never expected the Han army to be so tenacious and hard-working. 10,000+ people fought around 3 people for almost four hours, and the opponent still showed no signs of being overwhelmed.

On the contrary, it's a bit troublesome on my side.

The Saman Persian Army has never encountered such a tough and difficult opponent before. Under the excellent matching mechanism of the Hezhong Region in the past, the cavalry basically go up to fight first, and generally speaking, this will soon be a decisive battle.

Your own cavalry defeats the opponent's cavalry, and then a little scare, the opposite infantry will collapse, and then just chase and kill.

Those who can go through a cavalry battle first, and then go through infantry shooting each other, and can fight for an hour or two, are considered heavenly soldiers in the river.

But today, after four full hours of fighting, the 10,000+ Persian army was exhausted, but the opposite side was still as solid as a rock.

Although Abu Yusuf used the wheel to fight, in this bad weather, the troops who had rotated for a round had already clearly shown low morale due to exhaustion.

Looking from a distance, the footsteps of the armored soldiers seemed extremely heavy when they put on their armor frequently after removing their armor, and then put on their armor and walked. Those who used to take out their bows and arrows and shoot three or five arrows before the battle, now they are all direct. Go up and fight with knives and guns.

As for the general troops without armor, the previously neat team began to look distorted, and some fell to the ground and passed out as they walked.

When attacking, it was like going to death, dawdling, lifeless, and regained vitality in an instant when they heard the sound of retreating drums, and retreated in a swarm of hands and feet.

"Oval, the main force of the Peach Blossom Stone Men are those armored soldiers. Although they are very powerful, they have less than 1 people.

I will give you [-] cavalry, and when this wave of infantry attacks is over, you will rush over immediately, making sure to open a gap in their phalanx. "

Abu Yousuf judged others by himself, thinking that the soldiers of the Han army were approaching the last moment, so he decided to use his trump card, [-] armored cavalry and [-] light armored cavalry.

At the same time, considering that the Han army still has more than 1 cavalry outside, Abu Yusuf first released his five hundred fine cavalry as sentinel cavalry, and then called four ten-thousand-man teams who were on a rotation rest, and arranged them in the To the north and east, defend against the possible return of the Han cavalry.

There is actually no problem with the mobilization of all these. There are both offensive blades and defensive shields.

But Abu Yusuf shouldn't have met an opponent he wouldn't have met.

That is, [-] fanatical religious knights who believed in the Six Dharma Schools, selected from the grasslands, and blessed with two buffs, tempered weapons and talisman weapons.

The religious fanaticism of these punishment knights from the Six Dharma Sects can only be compared with the martyred knights when the Tianfang Sect was first born.

Of course, this is only in terms of morale. In terms of combat skills, even the Martyr Knights are completely incomparable with the Punishment Knights.

As soon as Abu Yusuf changed his formation here, Oval's cavalry had not yet started to attack Bai Congxin's soldiers, and the [-] troops in charge of defending the east and north sides had just begun to deploy and were not yet in place. There was an urgent alarm.

The disciplinary knight of the Six Law Sects appeared!
It was this moment that Luktu had been waiting for, the chaotic moment of the Persian army's mobilization.

He took out the statue of the Great Wisdom Dharma King Bodhisattva that had been hanging on his chest, and prayed a few words in a low voice.

Luketu clearly remembered that when the Supreme Heaven did not send his stepfather to the Xizhubu people, and when the mercy of the Supreme Heaven did not spread to the grasslands, the Xizhubu people lived in a miserable life.

When the son of the tribal leader eats sheep, he counts how much salt he puts in lumps, and tastes the soup after putting a lump.

But now, Luketu's face flashed with pride. There are no poor men on the grassland, and those who are still poor, they should not have appeared in this world.

A man who can't pick up a machete to fight for the sky is only worthy of staying on the grassland and gnawing grass roots like cattle and sheep!

"Khan's Eagles! Punishment Knights of the Supreme Heaven, let all the heretics cry in the endless hell forever, kill!"

In the sky, the dark clouds suddenly parted, and in the cold wind, a faint but tenacious sunlight shone through layers of obstacles.

"Kill!" Amidst the thunderous roar, [-] elite cavalry began to gallop towards the Persians from a distance of [-] paces.

No one cares about horsepower, no one is afraid, they just want the enemy to die!

Arrows all over the sky were denser than raindrops, and they were shot out in the sound of huge copper whistles. First, the commanders in the front shot colorful arrows with strange noises, followed by the centurions, and most of all, the ordinary soldiers. .

They are very organized. The centurion will only draw his bow when he sees the direction in which the centurion is shooting. The soldiers below are all staring at the direction the centurion is shooting. Anyone who does not draw the bow after the centurion shoots will shoot in the wrong direction. , and they will be severely punished when they return.

Therefore, more than 1 bows are shot in one direction almost at the same time, and there are very few errors.

The lethality brought about by such a terrifying precise shooting is enormous.

A Persian team of thousands of people led by Luketu rushed, as if being shot from the sky by the gods himself.In an instant, a huge groove appeared in the moving Persian phalanx, and countless soldiers fell to the ground and howled loudly.

And the shooting will not be just one wave, but one wave, two waves, three waves, until the Persian ten thousand team is cut in half, crying and starting to collapse.

Then Luketu, Chen Tingxiao, and An Cunzhong led [-] cavalry each to drive away the defeated Persian army. They hid behind these rout soldiers, and waited for the rout soldiers to disrupt their army formation before covering up and killing them immediately.

Occasionally, troops with strong combat effectiveness were not dispersed by the rout, and they immediately shot with strong bows until they collapsed before attacking.

This set of tactics, if it was four hours ago, it would not have such an effect.

But now, the Persian army, which has never experienced a fierce battle with the Central Plains army, can fight with high intensity for a whole day, has long been exhausted, hungry and thirsty to the extreme.

Under such circumstances, once encountering an enemy who feels irresistible, many low-level soldiers and officers will often break their cans and choose to escape from the battlefield.

What are you desperate for hundreds of dollars a month!
Luketu and the others were divided into three groups, rushing left and right among the 10,000+ Persian army, and there were countless people who responded to the string and fell down. After several times of rushing, Luketu finally found the biggest target of this battle.

Not Abu Yousuf, although he is indeed a bit capable, and he is also a famous Saman Persian player, but he was not very conspicuous in Dazhou, and his ability is only at the same level as his stepfather Lu Zhenlu Saburo, so there is no need to specifically target him.

The target Luketu was looking for was the [-] cavalry led by Oval.

Among them, at least [-] are the Gulam Guard cavalry from Bukhara, and more than [-] are Ikta knights and their servant cavalry composed of vassals from various places.

Compared with Abu Yusuf, they are the pillars of Saman Persia. Without them, it will be difficult for Saman Persia to hold on.

Just like two people looking for each other with a flashlight under the dark night sky, Luktu quickly discovered these Gurum Guard cavalry, and Omar also discovered these punishment knights who combined light and heavy cavalry.

In an instant, the eyes of both sides lit up, and the guards around Luktu took out the horns on their waists and blew them, calling all the punishment knights to gather.

"Warriors of Allah, destroy those heretics!"

"The supreme god will bless his devotees, and the eagle of God Khan is invulnerable!"

The battlefield seemed to have quieted down. Both the Persian army and the Han army around them ran away quickly, as if they were making way for the two cavalry.

Blow the horn, trot slowly, draw out the spear and saber, and start running wildly.

The tactics of both sides are the same, no bow and arrow shooting, just start to be tough, and use the most brave way of cavalry to end the battle.

boom!Finally they collided with each other, and countless horse heads passed by. You don't need any moves at all. With a light wave or poke, you will definitely hit the enemy.

The white blade frost flies, and the red star bleeds.

It seems that the battle 200 years ago reappeared in front of people's eyes again, but the difference this time is that instead of being betrayed and losing the cover of the light cavalry, the heavy foot and heavy cavalry of the Han army could only fight with the tired face of Mo Dao. Onslaught on Persian cavalry.

It was the grassland cavalry armed with the Six Dharma Sects who were superior in equipment, martial arts, and organization, and stormed the Persian cavalry, which was at a disadvantage in all statistics.

Therefore, although the number of Persians was [-] to [-] more, and they had the advantage of waiting for work at ease, they were still beaten into a mess. The two sides repeatedly rushed back and forth outside Heyang Town.

Gradually, the Persian cavalry couldn't hold on anymore, and the disciplinary knights who had strengthened their spiritual beliefs seemed to be tireless, and they couldn't even avoid the casualties. The more the Persian cavalry fought, the more timid they became.

At this time, Bai Congxin ordered the people to raise the silver-white banner of the decisive battle, and organized a wave of decisive soldiers composed of at least the vassals of the inspection department and their nephews, and took the lead to break out from the infantry formation.

Although they were extremely exhausted, in their desire for victory, they still broke out with extremely strong fighting power, and retreated repeatedly after killing the tens of thousands of Persian infantry who besieged them.

Abu Yusuf took off the iron helmet on his head, his hair was already wet with cold sweat.

"Play music, order all the troops to approach me, send messengers to the rear army, and order them to be ready to respond."

In a very short time, Abu Yusuf made a decision, a ruthless decision!
Now the cavalry on the opposite side is still fighting their own cavalry for the final battle, and the infantry on the opposite side has lost much strength. It is still possible to retreat, otherwise there is no way until the cavalry is defeated.

In addition, the Persian Army still has a big camp five miles west of Heyang Town. There are more than 4000 soldiers left behind and the civilian husbands can make up 2 people. Let's retreat to the big camp to stabilize the situation before making a decision!

Immediately, the Persian army began to retreat under the command of Abu Yusuf. Although it was chaotic, the general order was still conveyed.

On the battlefield, the Persian cavalry on the verge of collapse did not keenly notice that their comrades were constantly withdrawing from the battlefield, but General Oval saw it. He not only saw it, but also vaguely heard the sound of retreating drums.

However, after Oval sighed deeply, he didn't say anything.

Because he knew that without them to contain these fanatical peach blossom stone cavalry, the retreating infantry would be chased by their tails and suffer heavy casualties.

After circling countless thoughts quickly in his mind, Oval took a deep breath, then raised his saber again, and was the first to charge towards the Peach Blossom Stone Cavalry.

There are more than 10,000 people, and it is boundless, not to mention that there are [-]+ people here. Many chaotic figures conceal the real purpose of Abu Yusuf.

As he expected, the divided Han infantry still had the strength to fight in formation, but after the threat of death fell, many people began to lose their strength, and the pursuit was not so fast.

And after Luketu completely defeated the Persian cavalry, he personally beheaded the deputy of the Persian army, Salal-cavalry general Oval, only to find that the Persian army had begun to leave the battlefield.

Luketu immediately ordered the pursuit to start, but the effect was not good, because the [-] Persian cavalry defeated by them just now were the best of the entire Persian army.

These cavalrymen who died in battle left a lot of armor, excellent horses, gold and silver ornaments, and their heads were also valuable trophies.

Luketu's ability to lead the charge and his reputation for bravery are very good, but the command and arrangement of the army is still lacking.

Not just anyone can be like Murong Nobunaga and Li Cunhui, who can cover everything on the battlefield in their twenties.

Therefore, although Luketu kept blowing the horn of assembly, there were still a large number of steppe cavalry who began to fight for the spoils.

And even if they heard his order to come and assemble, because of the violent charge, the troops began to lose strength, and they were almost at their limit.

Moreover, not only Luketu's cavalry were vying for spoils, but a large number of infantry under Bai Congxin's command, composed of vassals and feudal soldiers, were also vying for spoils. The only ones that could gather were those recruited by Bai Congxin from the forbidden army Thousands of soldiers.

At this time, if the Persians can have the morale to come back and fight back, they might be able to achieve good results. In history, there are many armies and battles that have returned to the carbine.

This is the profound reason why Zhang Zhou's army and the forbidden army can become the strongest elite. In addition to their fighting power, the discipline of Zhang Zhou's army and the forbidden army is very strict.

There are also strict and detailed regulations on how to clean up the battlefield and how to distribute credit, and the current situation will never happen.

In the end, Luketu managed to gather 7000 people to chase after the retreating Persian army. Although he killed a large number of Persian troops, he still failed to rush to the vicinity of Abu Yusuf, and he could not cut down the Persian army. flag, so it was impossible to completely defeat the Persian army.

. . . .

The five-mile journey, in the eyes of Abu Yusuf, is really like hell.

In this short five-mile journey, at least 3 Persian soldiers and civilians who ran with him were killed and captured at least [-] people. It can be described as a road of blood and tears.

Seeing that the camp was in sight and the soldiers and horses in the camp were ready to respond, Abu Yousuf finally felt more at ease.

As long as you can stabilize and wait until dark, you can arrange elites to start preparing for the retreat. If you can bring back 5 to [-] people to Jeddah Fortress, you can still hold the northern gate of Kangju (Samarkand).

At this moment, at this moment when his heart was a little more at ease, the rumble of war drums rang from the back, and on both sides of a three-star flag with a silver and white background, huge tiger flags appeared on the distant plain, and began to Approaching at breakneck speed.

Huguang has arrived!

"Why did Suiye's Han army come, didn't they all return to Suiye?"

Abu Yusuf screamed. He had fought back and forth with the Han army for several years, so he naturally knew what it meant.

Hu Guang's [-]-step cavalry is not only a fresh force, but also the elite of the elite. Under the leadership of Hu Guang, they launched a general attack on the defeated Saman Persian army before Luktu's pursuit troops arrived.

But half an hour later, the Persian army camp with more than [-] soldiers and civilians collapsed again.

This can be described as a complete collapse, and 10,000+ people, like termites whose nests have been overturned, ran towards the south of the medicine killing water.

In the evening, after an hour of struggling and escaping, the Persian army arrived at the Yaosha River, only to find that the thousands of Persian navy and water city that remained here had long been captured by the Ningyuan army and the Jin Guofan army. Dozens of small boats remained.

For a while, there was a loud cry, and the Han army attacked from three sides. A few of the desperate Persian soldiers and civilians were still howling and resisting, while most of them were stressed out of panic.

They have been fleeing to the medicine killing water in this dark and deep winter, and soon disappeared after arousing water flowers in the water.

. . . .

In the eighth year of Shaoming, in AD 953, Saman Persian Great Salar was a great general in charge of military power, the brother-in-law of Prince Salah, and the governor of Kangju City, Abu Yusuf, led an army of 12 plus about 23 civilians. A total of 50 people, the so-called [-] troops went north in an attempt to recover Shiguo City.

Abu Yusuf is not an ignorant idiot, nor is he an arrogant young nobleman. On the contrary, he is precisely the rare famous general of Saman Persia.

Even Luketu's evaluation of him was comparable to that of Lu Zhen and Lu Saburo.

Although Lu Sanlang is not very eye-catching among the star-studded Zhang Zhou military generals, his ability is not weak. It is still very powerful to be able to get the status of a foreign prince in a situation where pigs hate dogs and don't love them.

It can be said that Abu Yusuf's trip to the north was not irrational, but rather well-planned, because he happened to beat Huguang by a time difference.

You must know that Huguang's Anxi Army has 2 people, and Suiye has no enemy threat. In the past three trials, Huguang led 2 to [-] people to help the battle.

But this time Zhan Huguang came in a hurry, only about 500 people.

At the same time, because the battle came so suddenly, Jin Guofan's army was mobilized at the last moment.

It can be said that Abu Yousuf has keenly felt the subtle relationship between Bai Congxin, Hu Guang, and Lao Zhangzhong, and he has done the best he can.

However, all conspiracies and tricks still have to rely on strength to speak in the end.

Abu Yousuf has exhausted all his organs, but his 12 army is facing Bai Congxin's more than 5 miscellaneous troops, not to mention defeating them, even to a certain extent, they cannot repel them.

So despite his ingenious tricks, he ended up annihilated in the end.

In this battle, among the 23 people in Saman Persia, more than 4 were directly beheaded, more than 3 were captured, and more than [-] died of serious injuries.

The poison was used to kill the water, and countless people died. Even the river was dyed red, and at least 5 people died.

Of the remaining 10 people, those who are expected to cross the river smoothly are no more than a few thousand at most. The rest were either chased and killed by the Han army or captured as slaves, or died on the way to escape due to various reasons.

In the end, there were only more than [-] people who followed Abu Yusuf to the Jeddah Fortress, and it could be said that the entire army was wiped out.

According to the 430 million population of Saman Persia, and adult males accounted for 30.00% of the total population, the total adult male males in Saman Persia are about 150 million.

This time, at least 20 yuan was lost, and 13.00% was lost directly.

What's even more frightening is that in this era, it doesn't mean that you can mobilize as many people as you have. Some people can forcefully collect some taxes by relying on violent agencies.

Calculated in this way, the Emir of Saman Persia lost 30.00% of the men it could mobilize at least in this battle.

Moreover, not every male can become a fighter, and even if everyone can, it cannot be trained in a short time.

At the same time, this fiasco also lost a large amount of supplies. Armor, weapons and horses accounted for at least [-]% of the country's total, and the food and grass hoarded by the whole country in Kangju (Samarkand) were basically lost.

There are only two or three thousand elite Gulam guards left, and the domestic Ikta nobles and vassals are almost completely wiped out.

It can be said that after the disastrous defeat in this battle, the Emir of Saman Persia has actually come to the brink of extinction.

. . . .

Guo Xun'er was wearing a blue gown and a Luo Futou on her head. Behind her were several soldiers in cloth armor guarding her.

Every time she walked, the Samanposian captives who were rolling in blood and muddy water, when they saw a soft-faced official, kowtowed frantically on the ground, begging the official to forgive them and not let them enter slavery. camp.

Guo Yu'er was stunned. She saw a man kowtowing madly at him. Not long ago, she had seen this man in Talas. Hakem (Governor) of the Saman Persian Herat Province was also a close branch of the Saman royal family. .

This aristocrat Hakemu Al Hubbard, who seemed to be in the sky, is now as humble as a wild dog rolling in the mire.

Guo Xun'er walked towards this Hakem slowly, Hubbard stopped kowtowing, and obediently put his head on the ground.

Guo Yu'er slowly raised her foot, stepped on Hubbard's head that had begun to bald, and said in Persian with a very standard Khorasan accent:
"Hubad, His Majesty the Emperor Peach Blossom Stone, the Khan of the Grasslands, the favorite concubine of Shah Shah (King of Kings of Persia), His Royal Highness Sefiye, Princess of the Samanites, now recruits you as her loyal servant." dog!"

As soon as the standard Persian words were spoken, the captives kneeling in the muddy water went crazy.

They howled crazily, everyone knelt on the ground and wanted to kneel in front of Guo Yuer and kiss his shoes, even if they were beaten with wooden sticks by the guards, the bleeding never stopped.

Hubbard trembled all over, and then shouted in surprise in the mud, "Princess Sefiye? Hubbard is willing to be Princess Sefiye.

No!The humble Hubbard is not qualified to be Princess Safir's loyal dog, it is enough for Hubbard to be the servant of this Peach Blossom Sahabi (Your Excellency). "

"Hahahaha!" Guo Yaner laughed maniacally, only laughing until tears fell down, and the scenes echoed in her mind, and she shouted in a thousand words:
"How precious is a barbarian!"

After venting, Guo Xun'er bowed his hands to the Zuo Jinwu guards who escorted him all the way behind him.

"Brother Hu, lock up this Hu Lu, he will be needed in the future, let's go see General Hu!"

On the battlefield where mud and blood mixed, but made her feel extremely honored and proud, Guo Yuer wiped away her tears and knew that it was time for her to perform.

Samanpos was destined to perish, but not now, which is why the sage asked Princess Sefiye to recognize her as his sister.
