The war horses in the high-speed sprint, the dazzling spear tips and sabers in the sun, the endless sound of horses' hooves rolling like thunder, and the collision between the infantry bayonet phalanx and the cavalry have always been the most cruel and classic scenes in war.

There is no absolute restraint attribute for any infantry phalanx, and the hollow array is only relatively effective. However, in the confrontation with cavalry in the modern warfare of the previous life, the hollow phalanx has repeatedly become a nightmare for the opponent, but it is by no means that the bayonets are clearly frightening the horses, but first of all, their powerful firepower.

This is the easiest array to bring out the lethality of the musketeers.

Several scattered infantry phalanxes, cross-firing at each other, combined with the fire of the artillery, would definitely be a nightmare for the charging cavalry.

But without artillery, without cross-firing allies, a single hollow phalanx could only barely defend itself in the face of cavalry.

The hollow phalanx of the old time and space is holding a musket + bayonet longer than a saber, and the cavalry's saber can't be cut, but the cavalry in the current era is basically cavalry with both swords and guns, and the spear is far longer than the bayonet, and the infantry of the hollow phalanx is at an absolute disadvantage. But the hollow phalanx can cast muskets, can throw grenades, and the lancers will also suffer great casualties while killing and injuring the enemy, and when the front of the battlefield knocks down the corpses of people and horses, it will also have a great impact on the sprint of the subsequent cavalry, and when the speed of the war horses slows down, their impact will be very limited, and even lose their impact power.

But the Seljuks were the nomadic cavalry of the East. They were armed not only with sabers and spears, but also with bows and arrows. The Turkic Seljuk cavalry only needed to harass the enemy with bows and arrows, and when the phalanx was shaken, they charged with spears, and the phalanx was not difficult to be broken head-on.

Compared to the infantry phalanx of the Cold Weapon Age, the phalanx of pure musketeers was even more inferior - at least the cotton armor on their bodies was definitely not as strong as the iron armor.

The Seljuks were all smart, except for a few fanatics who rushed desperately to the infantry array, and many more chose to slow down, then deflect their horses' heads and circle around.

Don't forget, there are only 40 people in the hollow array, people next to each other, and the space occupied by a single person is less than three feet.

The scattered Seljuk cavalry was already wide in transverse, so no matter how many of them were, only a very small number of them could make head-on contact with the phalanx - it was not a matter of three or two meters away from the war horse, and it was common for five or six meters to be opened. If they do rush to the front of the array.

And in the face of the flanking attack of musket grenades, it is clear that more Seljuks want to be able to fire arrows from afar, rather than really hitting their heads hard.

Under the bullet, no matter how heavy armor you are wearing, no matter how strong your martial arts are, in front of gunpowder-driven lead bullets, you are a pile of vulnerable carbohydrates!

The wounds caused by lead bullets cannot be healed by the heavenly people at all, as long as one shot is shot, it will definitely die! This is the lesson that the Celestial people have learned in the previous war. This is not the same thing as the killing of bows, arrows, knives and guns!

They stayed thirty paces away, because there were very few grenades thrown at a distance of thirty paces, and they still had the 'Heavenly Brothers' charging into battle. The distance must be shortened, as long as Lu Qi's camp is in chaos, they who were still afraid just now will immediately pounce on them like hungry wolves.

The arrows rained down, and one by one the Lu Qi soldiers lowered their heads and let the arrows destroy, the soldiers in the front continued to hold their bayonets, and the soldiers in the back row either threw grenades or grabbed every second to reload ammunition.

As for the arrows, let them fall.

The musketeer, who was the decoy, had a pair of chain mail under the cotton armor. Although this can't withstand the slashing and stabbing of swords and guns, and can't block the smashing of heavy weapons, it is all armor with good defensive power against bows and arrows.

The roars of the soldiers of the Lu Qi army sounded, and the contest of wills came.

And the Seljuks on the periphery also sent out a heartfelt surprise at this moment. In their eyes, although the number of cavalry rushing to Lu Qijun's eyes was small, they would definitely be able to easily break the ridiculous array of the Chinese. Open the door to victory for them.

When the array of musketeers is scattered, they can easily harvest the heads of their opponents with their sabres and spears.

The cavalry collided with the crowd, and the neighing of the men and horses resounded in the sky.

The Seljuk cavalry armed with spears were very sharp in cutting into the musketeers, but even the strongest horses were terrified by the dense baronets and determined soldiers. Not to mention the explosion of grenades on the battlefield, and dozens of musketeers in the box.

The ambition at the time of breaking the formation had not yet blossomed into bright flowers, and it withered first.

The scattered Lu Qi musketeers did not lose their souls and run away, but leaned on each other, quickly gathered together, and made up for the gap, at first glance, it was still a straight line.

Rush in!

One by one, the Seljuk officers seemed to see the hope of victory, and loudly ordered the remaining cavalry to follow!

The attack of the Seljuk cavalry was like a big iron brush, ruthlessly brushing away the layers of flesh and blood of the Lu Qi army. If the Seljuk cavalry outflanked on both flanks could be killed immediately at this time, it was really possible to crush the Lu Qi soldiers in front of them, and then leave no piece of armor left behind them.

However, the musketeers in the two columns were not holding burning sticks, and the crackling gunfire and roaring grenades completely concealed the desolate screams left behind by the Seljuks.

Musaylimah and Rahman's eyes were drawn to the fierce battle, and the galloping horses ran round and round the battlefield, and the yellow sand obscured the sun in the sky and the eyes of many Seljuks. So much so that in the rear of the battlefield, when an iron cavalry slowly rose to the horizon, the sentry of the Seljuk cavalry blew their horns like crazy to warn, and it did not reach the ears of Musaylimai for a long time.

Yes, for a long time. For ordinary people, there may not be enough time to eat a boxed lunch, but on the battlefield, this is really a long, long time.

The sound of gunfire and bullets rained down like bursting beans, and the roar of grenades kept the Seljuk cavalry from touching the victory.

Even though every now and then a puff of arrows rained down on the heads of the musketeers, killing and wounding one person after another.

The musketeers at the forefront had seven or eight arrows stuck in their armor in twos and threes, or even a dozen or twenty arrows, which turned people into hedgehogs.

But the hollow phalanx is still there.

"Kill......"

When the alarm finally reached the ears of Musaylimai and Rahman, many people could faintly hear the shouts of killing coming from the north.

"Brethren, reinforcements have arrived. We won! ”

In the hollow phalanx, the voice of Yingzheng Lu Shiqiang shouted, and soon everyone heard the shouting and killing sound that was very different from that of the natives.

There is no doubt that the Seljuks have chosen to retreat, Musaylimai is not a fool, and the battle continues to hold on, and only heavier losses await them. All of them will die without a place to be buried, and they will all be destroyed......

But if you bite a bait and want to get rid of the hook, how easy is it?
