Chapter 690: Annihilation of the Red Saar Legion (1)
The Qing army was divided into two parts in an instant, one part was led by Aobai and Zihar with 50,000 Manchurian Eight Banner Iron Cavalry to meet the 100,000 Persian army dispatched from Hongsar City, and one part was personally commanded by Dolgon, and the remaining more than 30,000 Persian banner infantry, more than 100,000 servant cavalry, 10,000 Manchu Eight Banners, 15,000 firearms battalion Breaking Dragon Army, a total of 160,000 troops continued to attack Isfahan, and fought with more than 180,000 Persian troops in Isfahan City.
Dorgon looked at the sky, it was already noon.
After a deep groan, Dolgon's eyes narrowed slightly: "Tomorrow at the latest, the Persian Empire will be destroyed!" ”
In a word, it shows Dorgon's determination and self-confidence.
Although the 50,000 Manchu Eight Banners attacking the city of Red Sal and the 160,000 troops attacking Isfahan at this moment were less than the corresponding Persian army, Dolgon still had absolute confidence to defeat the Persian army and destroy the Persian Empire.
Inside the Persian royal palace.
The news that the Qing army blew up the city wall and attacked the city reached the ears of the Persian emperor, and the Persian emperor was suddenly frightened and stupid, holding the favored queen in a daze, how could the Qing army attack the city so quickly, didn't Abad say that the Qing army would soon be able to defeat the Qing army, why did the Qing army still attack the city!
The Persian emperor gritted his teeth and roared: "Abad, if you don't explain it to me, I'll strangle you!" ”
When Abad, who was commanding the army to resist the attack of the Qing army, received the question brought by the guards sent by the Persian emperor, he suddenly came out in a cold sweat, although he Abad was a genius general, but he did not expect the enemy army to be so strong, not that he Abad was incompetent, mainly because his side was not strong enough, and the enemy army was too strong.
"If you go back to Your Majesty, you will say that I Abad is here, even if the enemy soldiers step on my Abad's corpse, they will not want to hurt Your Majesty!" Abad wiped the cold sweat from his head and said pretending to be arrogant.
The guards quickly passed Abad's words to the Persian Emperor, who, though still terrified, felt a little more at ease.
"Your Majesty, the empire will be fine, right?" The stunningly beautiful queen Rufia asked the Persian emperor with some concern.
"Of course there will be no problem, I am the king of kings, the empire is still protected by Allah, how can the empire be what the empire is, the queen rest assured, we still have General Abad, I believe that under the command of General Abad, the imperial army will soon be able to drive the Manchurian enemy army out of Isfahan!" The Persian Emperor said firmly.
Empress Rayafi was a little unconvinced, but she was smart not to let the Persian emperor appear, and fell into the arms of the Persian emperor with a charming smile, but comforted the Persian emperor and provoked a wave of caresses from the Persian emperor.
In fact, Empress Rufiyaa's panic is no less than that of the Persian emperor, how much effort she has put in, she only climbed from the concubine to the position of the Persian queen more than a year ago, she has not yet enjoyed the honor of the queen, if the empire is gone, then she will not end well as the queen.
Whatever the Persian Emperor and Empress Rafia thought, the fierce fighting would not stop and would continue.
The city of Red Sal was only ten miles away from Isfahan, and the cavalry could reach it with a single charge.
"Boom"
The 50,000 Manchurian Eight Banners led by Aobai and Zihar finally intercepted the 100,000-strong Persian army that had come to support Isfahan at a distance of five miles from Isfahan.
The Persian general who commanded this Red Sal Legion was called Belis, who was originally the right-hand man of the old Marshal Kgreid, if you want to talk about military talent, Belize threw Abad ten streets, originally this decisive battle wanted to win, there should be Belize to command all the armies, but because Belize was the old Marshal Kgreid's right-hand man, it was not as good as Abad to get the trust of the Persian emperor, so even if there was a group of Persian loyal ministers, Belis only got the position of commanding 100,000 Red Saar Legions.
Jin Ge Iron Horse, followed by the rumble of the horse's hooves, Ao Bai and other 50,000 Eight Banner Iron Horsemen appeared in Belis's sight.
Seeing that the enemy army was only 50,000 cavalry, Belize was calm.
"Form a formation and meet the enemy!" Belize ordered loudly.
The soldiers of the 100,000 Red Saar Legion immediately formed into a camp of thousands of people one after another, and met the 50,000 Manchu Eight Banners that appeared.
In terms of the Eight Banners, Ao Bai and Jihar sneered in the gallop, although the number of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was only half of the Red Sal Legion, they were still arrogant and did not take the Red Saar Legion in their eyes.
The unique Blue Dragon Award of the Eight Banners fluttered, the war horses galloped rapidly, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
Thousands of archers of the Red Saar Legion pulled the bowstring, and the arrow was on the string.
Some of the military formations armed with spears pointed their spears in front of the same time, ready to be charged by the horses.
There is no doubt that if the Eight Banners were to rush towards the Red Saar Legion like this, before the two sides fought, the Eight Banners would have to pay at least 2,000 dead and wounded to fight with the Red Saar Legion.
Manbaqi was once known as the world's first cavalry, tens of thousands of people can conquer Mongolia, decades of pressure on the Ming Dynasty once breathless, naturally he can be commendable, not in vain.
At the moment before they were about to rush into the range of bows and arrows of 100 meters, the cavalry of the Eight Banners bent their bows and arrows almost at the same time.
"Xiu Xiu Xiu" relied on the afterburner of the war horse sprint, and the man shot the arrow first.
Arrows rained down, tens of thousands of arrows densely enveloped the Red Saar army at the front, and the Persian soldiers with shields raised their shields to block. Of course, the truly elite Persian army had been killed and wounded two years earlier, and these had been formed in the last year or two, and there were very few soldiers with shields, or even armor.
"Whew! Laugh at! The rain of arrows knocked down a large number of Persian soldiers in an instant, and the most advanced several military formations were dealt a heavy blow and were almost crushed.
As soon as the rain of arrows fell, another round of arrow rain struck.
The sound of arrows piercing **, and the Persian soldiers fell once again.
At this time, the nearest Manchu Eight Banners had already rushed within forty meters, and they were almost instantaneous, and the Red Saar Legion had only recently shot a round of loose arrow rain.
The Manchus grew up riding and shooting arrows on horseback, and many Manchus avoided the arrows that were shot at them through superb riding skills, and there were even only a few dozen Manchus who were shot and fell from their horses.
In Belis's extremely gloomy expression, the cavalry of the Eight Banners collided with the Persian army at the front.
"Haha! Kill "Ao Bai laughed wildly, rode his horse vertically and horizontally, and the steel knife in his hand continued to chop, killing a Persian soldier, killing himself covered in blood, worthy of being the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the eyes of many Persian soldiers, Ao Bai is like a god of death!
