"Whew-"

The war horse rushed through with a strong wind, and Yu Boyan turned his head slightly to the side to avoid the cavalry coming from the side.

He just swept the Mo knife under the horse's hooves, and the Mo knife is also known as the knife stick. The war horse was forced to jump up in order to avoid its four hooves, and before it landed, a sergeant's Mo knife had been pointed directly under the horse's belly, Yu Boyan did not see how the sergeant behind him disemboweled the war horse, as a Mo knife general, he was the same as many of the strongest Mo knife hands in the whole army, standing at the forefront of the Mo knife formation, the front row of Mo knife hands not only had to bear the first wave of the cavalry group's initial and strongest first wave of impact, but also to make a judgment in an instant. The formation of the Turkic cavalry is also sparse, and when the two armies meet, every moment is a one-on-one duel between the Mo swordsman and the cavalry, and every moment is a choice between life and death. The first row of Mo swordsmen must choose the way to fight according to the strength of the opponent, rather than going head-to-head. For the strong cavalry, the first column of Mo swordsmen is just harassing, reducing the speed of the opponent's horses, or creating obstacles, creating opportunities for the Mo swordsmen in the back array, and dealing with the relatively weak cavalry, the first column of Mo swordsmen will choose to kill them one by one.

The smoke and dust from the war horse shrouded the battlefield, and Yu Boyan frowned, staring at the swaying figures not far away.

The smoke and dust made it difficult for him to see the horse team in the distance. The dust of the battlefield is a double-edged sword, and the cavalry drives the horses to come and go carelessly, and when the surprise attack comes, the reaction time of the Mo knife hand is even shorter. However, for the experienced Mo Knife Hands, the smoke and dust created by the horse team was more beneficial to them, but this made the Mo Knife Hands' figure loom in the dust, and the rear cavalry could not see what was happening in front of them.

A war horse slowly passed by, and the cavalry seemed to rush to Yu Boyan's side by mistake.

"Hey-" Yu Boyan let out a tiger roar, took a step forward, and the six-foot long blade swept away like the wind.

With a sound of "whoop", the neck of the war horse was almost halved by the Mo knife, and the blood gushed out, almost drenching Yu Boyan into a bloody blade, the headless war horse fell to his knees, and the Turkic cavalry was caught off guard, and fell to the ground with the war horse, seeing that he was dead. A Mo swordsman was about to step forward to make up for a knife, but he didn't expect a Turkic cavalry to suddenly rush in the direction behind him, Mo swordsman barely had any time to react, the long spear tip of the cavalry reached the back of the heart, the spear with the momentum of the war horse, almost brought the heavily armored Mo swordsman to the ground, deeply pierced into the armor, the Turkic cavalry threw away the spear handle, drew out the scimitar, and drove the horse to the side to kill.

"Whew-" A war horse swept past Zhang Shiqing, and the scimitar swept over his head.

Almost at the moment of life and death, he was startled, almost subconsciously dodged, the blade grazed the iron helmet, Zhang Shiqing was dry, and a war horse came out of the smoke and dust, however, the cavalry did not seem to pay attention to the Mo knife hand on the ground, and did not drive the war horse to do any dodging action, Zhang Shiqing dragged the knife stick on the side of the war horse, and the leather armor of the cavalry on the leg was easily cut, and the Turks fell off the horse with a scream. A Mo knife hand on the left took advantage of the situation to kill him, and at this time, sweat flowed down Zhang Shiqing's back, but he had no time to be frightened, and he had no time to recall the moment of life and death just now.

There was a war horse in front of him, Zhang Shiqing let out a low "hey" and stepped forward with a knife.

The cavalry formation, which was originally quite complete, had become crippled after passing through several rows of Mo Sword formations.

In the billowing smoke and dust, countless orders sounded loudly, and the Mo swordsman took a unified step, calmly moving forward, which had already exceeded the entire Xia army array, and behind them, the Turkic cavalry had penetrated into the Xia army's array, and countless cavalry galloped around the battalion phalanx and released arrows. However, the Xia army's phalanx was dominated by heavily armored spearmen and well-trained crossbowmen, whether it was impact or counter-shooting, the Turkic cavalry could not take any advantage, and could only drive the war horses in vain, circling around the sergeant's phalanx over and over again, trying to find one or two weak links to break through the phalanx, however, at close range, the Xia army crossbowmen did not need to open their bows, so they released their arrows very quickly, and the Turkic cavalry wandering in the phalanx suffered the arrows fired from all directions, and people fell into the smoke and dust all the time, But it couldn't stop the advance of the Xia army's big array in the slightest. A small number of Turkic cavalry finally penetrated the flanks and rear of the Xia army's large array, however, they were fiercely intercepted by the Xia cavalry, and had to fight their horses even harder to escape.

As time passed, the artillery of the Xia army became more and more intense, and the dark shells continued to fly through the air and fall in the rear ranks of the Turkic cavalry. Most of the cavalry gathered by the Sultan of Rûm came from various tribes, and these cavalrymen had never seen artillery, not even gunpowder, but they regarded the cannons and cannonballs as devils with black smoke. The entire battlefield was shrouded in gunpowder smoke and dust, but the rear side of the Chinese army's large array could be seen clearly, and the entire Xia army's large array of infantry and cavalry cooperated, constantly pressing forward. The three thousand Mo swordsmen formed a solid fist on the left flank, not only wedged deep into the right flank of the Turkic array, but also began to turn to the right, destroying the order of the entire Turkic array from south to north. The cavalry of the Xia army spread its wings far away, forming a large net, surrounding tens of thousands of Turkic foot cavalry.

"Kansai Mo's knife hand, it really deserves its name." A big victory is expected, Zhang Shanfu nodded in praise, and his voice changed, "However, the firearms on the eastern front are effective, if the artillery team can advance and fire, and even arrange a gun fortress on the side of the enemy formation with the large formation, and bombard the dense enemy together, I am afraid that the Turks will have broken up at this time." Glancing at Xu Wenhu's gloomy face, he said leisurely, "Zhao Xingde of the Firearms Division was originally from Anxi, and I heard that General Xu still values him a lot. ”

Xu Wenhu snorted, did not say anything, looked at the back of the Turkic Great Array, and the two gray silkworm eyebrows frowned.

In the west of the battlefield, the hundreds of cavalry led by Wang Tongdeng encountered the most ferocious resistance. About 2,000 Turkic cavalry surrounded a group of dignitaries, and when they were retreating westward, they were caught up by the second rank of the flower hat, and the Turkic cavalry immediately divided more than 1,000 horsemen to stop them, Wang Tongdeng realized that he might have caught the big fish, although the enemy was outnumbered, he did not hesitate to rush over.

Smoke and dust billowed out, and the two cavalry collided without slowing down, and in an instant, countless people fell off their horses.

Under the impact of the cavalry of the Flower Hat Army, the Turkic cavalry suffered a great loss, but unlike the usual one-touch collapse, this broken cavalry was extremely brave, even if the formation was scattered, and there were many casualties, they still held high the scimitar, desperately preventing the Xia cavalry from advancing, some of the Turkic cavalry were scattered by the Flower Hat Army but did not escape, and returned as a whole team, and some of the Turkic cavalry horses were injured, so they formed a formation of arrows under the leadership of the officer to stop the Xia cavalry from moving forward. With the courage of Wang Tongdeng, the elite of the flower hat army, the power of the two tigers, just got rid of the entanglement of the Turkic cavalry, and was about to continue to pursue to the west, and there was a large group of Turkic cavalry in the east.

Because of the large number of defeated soldiers, Wang Tongdeng had to order his subordinates to form a circle formation against the enemy, until the cavalry of the Xia State Brigade came over, Wang Tongdeng was able to get out, at this time, the battlefield came to the news that the Turkic Sultan could not be found, originally standing under the Sultan's flag, riding a white horse, wearing armor and a mask The person was only the Sultan's lieutenant general. After the entire Turkic army collapsed, he ordered the forbidden army to kill the horses, and piled up the corpses of the horses and men into a camp, and resisted until the last moment. It wasn't until the sergeants had crushed the last of their stubborn resistance, killed the fake sultan, and removed his iron mask that they discovered this plan of Li Daitao.

"This coward, he abandoned the army, even if he saved his life, how could anyone be willing to follow him?!"

Wang Tongden replied that although he had won a lot, he had allowed the Sultan of Rûm to flee from the battlefield.

"Abandon the army?" Xu Wenhu glanced at him and didn't speak, but Zhang Shanfu asked rhetorically: "Who said that he abandoned the army, didn't his stand-in fight on the battlefield to the last moment?" In the forbidden army of the Roman Turks, has everyone been deceived by this lieutenant general? He shook his head, looked at Wang Tongdeng, who was sluggish, and sighed, "If Mesud can let someone close to him die for him like this, with a little embellishment, the sacrifice of these people is enough to wash away the shame of leaving the army." Since Messud had already made plans to abandon the army, he must have retained some of his strength, and if he refuses to fight us in a decisive battle, and the ghost lingers again, we will have a headache. We can't kill Mesud on the battlefield, and we're going to have to put more effort into ending the war in the short term. ”

"But......" Wang Tongdeng looked at Zhang Shanfu, a little speechless for a while.

"We are sergeants, not villains hiding in the distance and playing with intrigues." Xu Wenhu couldn't see it, and relieved the siege for him, "Khan City, Hamadan has broken the enemy army in two battles, and the men and horses gathered by Mesud have been five or six out of ten, and Hamadan is lost, there is no obstacle from here to Baghdad, and it won't be long before the sergeants can enter Baghdad for the winter." He raised his horsewhip and waved it at a group of Mo knife hands sitting in the distance, these warriors immediately cheered, Mo Dao was invincible on the battlefield, but it was extremely physically demanding, after the battle, Zuo Feng almost all of Yu Boyan and below collapsed and weakened, military law forbade the sergeant to take off his armor and rest immediately after the battle, and the Mo swordsmen wore fifty pounds of armor and sat in a circle to rest, and they didn't even care about cleaning the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the morale of the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom was high, the captured armor and weapons were piled up, and the captured horses were in groups.

"Into Baghdad for the winter?" Zhang Shanfu's face was complicated, and he said lightly, "Maybe." ”

A few days later, the news came that after Messud abandoned his army and fled, he did not return to Baghdad, on the contrary, in order to repay and compensate the tribes who participated in the great war with him, Messud promised them the wealth of the whole of Baghdad, and as a result, all the gates of the whole Baghdad were opened, and the Turks, cannibals, and Persians who had retreated from the front, and the nearby tribes poured into Baghdad and looted unscrupulously for a dayWhen the Xia army finally entered Baghdad, there was hardly anything to call a trophy but rubble and scorched earth, and the desperate inhabitants could hardly be called trophies.
