Chapter 982: The Emperor Who Owns the Four Seas - Ran Away, Kneeled
Lost!
But you can't just turn around and run!
Sanjar's military experience was still extremely rich, and after just a round of testing, he knew that his army would definitely not be able to defeat the army of the Peach Blossom Stone.
If you can't beat it, you can only escape. But running away is also a science, and if you run well, you can save the essence in order to do it again. If you don't run well, you will lose all your old capital, and even lose your life.
So Sanjar's shrewd head turned around a little and he understood what he should do.
"Order the Ghulams of Kumaji to dismount and prepare their bows and spears!"
"Bukhari, take three hundred men to the baggage camp at once, take all the horses, marlines, and jerky, and go to the mountain pass to the south to stand by."
"Emir......" Bukhari was stunned, as if he had not yet understood Sanjar's intentions.
"Go! Just go! Sanjar waved his hand, "Don't delay the time, it's too late." ”
"Yes, Emir."
Bukhari did not understand but had to understand, saluted Sanjar on horseback, and then galloped south along the Kara Lake with three hundred Ghulam cavalry. The baggage of the Sanjar army and the livestock they carried were now placed on the southern shore of Lake Kara, under the watchful end of the Ghulam knights.
Now cattle and sheep and inconvenient grain can only be discarded. However, horses, marlines and jerky must be brought. On the way to the south, these can be used to save lives.
After hastily arranging this, Sanjar led the 4,700 Ghulam knights around him to move to the rear of the 5,000 Ghulam knights commanded by the general Kumaji on the left flank. Four or five hundred paces away from them, a loose shock formation unfolded.
While Sanjar's troops were adjusting their deployment, the Hexi Coalition Army, a regiment of indoctrination, was also making adjustments. The first to arrive was seventeen ballistas, one of which overturned in transit and failed to complete the movement. Seventeen ballistae, covered by an infantry unit (lacking crossbowmen) and a cavalry, were deployed at a distance of 600 paces from the enemy, and then burst rockets began to be fired round after round.
At the same time, 18 crossbowmen and more than 3,000 archers, who had previously rained down on their backs with arrows, moved in the direction of Karahu under the cover of an infantry and a cavalry, and then spread out in front of the Western Tajik, Ghul and Ghazni knights. In the process, the emir of Western Tajikistan, Mohammed. Ahmad sent hundreds of cavalry to try to interfere with the movement of the Hexi Coalition Army, but they were all repelled by the crossbowmen and Xiliang cavalry of the Indoctrination Regiment, and more than 200 corpses were left behind.
Seeing that it was impossible to use the cavalry to repel his opponents, Muhammad. Ahmad had to order his Ghazni knights to dismount, form a march, and use their bows and arrows against their opponents' bows.
In the middle lane, thousands of infantry of the Indoctrination Regiment also pressed on all fronts, forming an assault gun formation a hundred paces away from the opponent, with spears in front and swords and shields behind. Countless intimidating spear tips pointed at the sky, creating a dazzling cold light in the sunlight.
The situation on the battlefield seems to be very clear, the main direction of attack on the Song army's side is undoubtedly the left flank of Sanjar, and the round of bombardment by burst rockets is to create chaos. The pikemen in the middle of the Song army should be an "anvil", once their cavalry breaks through from the left flank of Sanjar, it will turn into an "iron hammer", rush to the back of the middle of the Sanjar army and slam at it, driving the Persian infantry to the gun formation in the middle of the Song army......
And the battle-hardened Muhammad. Ahmad breathed a sigh of relief. The situation is not too bad...... Because it's not yourself who is going to die. As long as you don't die, you can change your court. The knights of Western Tajikistan are highly skilled in martial arts, and the beauties are even hotter and charming!
Moreover, the Upper Peach Blossom Stone Country is too far away from the west of the Green Ridge. Direct rule is simply impossible, and vassals are necessarily necessary.
And the West Tajiks are very willing to serve the Heavenly Khan of Peach Blossom Stone!
While the emir of Western Tajikistan was planning how to use the power of the Upper Peach Blossoms to recover Bukhara (Bukhara was once the capital of the Tajiks), someone suddenly shouted in his ear.
"Emir, the Gazni can't stand it!"
The knights of Ghazni, who were placed in front of the West Tajik emir to shoot at the enemy, had long been raised by the Indians, and could not bear the casualties caused by the crossbow and the Hexi Foot Bow. The crossbowmen of the Indoctrination Regiment and the Hexi archers only fired ten volleys, and the Ghazni who were set in front cried for their fathers and mothers, and they were about to retreat in a hurry. The result was blocked by the knights of the Western Tajiks.
"Shall the Ghazni be replaced by the Ghazni?"
One of Ahmad's generals suggested.
"That's impossible." The Emir of Western Tajikistan snorted, "The Gur and the Ghazni are enemies! They wished that the Ghazni were all dead, so that they could go to India to be their masters. ”
The Gur people are based in barren Afghanistan, and they have long been impoverished and insane, dreaming of entering India and spending all their days drinking, oh, to spread the truth of Tianfang to the oppressed Hindu untouchables.
Therefore, the Ghazni who came out of Afghanistan have always been the most fearful and able to understand the Gur people. So the relationship between the two sides has always been tense, and Amad had to use his own West Tajik knights to separate the two when he was arrayed.
"Let the Ghazni resist for a little longer!" Ahmad was also reluctant to let his knights take the place of the knights of Ghazni. He still has to keep these henchmen to serve the Heavenly Khan of the Peach Blossom Stone! How can you casually let someone shoot to death?
Amad asked people to coax the Ghazni knights, and at the same time craned his neck to look at the location of Sanjad's main force to the west.
How is it that Sanjar has not yet failed? If he is defeated, others can go to the Lord!
"Emir! Heretics, heavy cavalry of infidels! ”
What the? Heavy cavalry? Where is it...... As soon as Ahmad turned around, a terrifying scene that he would never forget in his life appeared in front of his eyes.
The enemy's crossbowmen had retreated at some point, and in their place were rows and rows of heavy cavalry! I don't know how many, but I saw that the cold armor reflected the fierce sunlight on the plateau, becoming dazzling and dazzling.
All of these armoured horsemen are lancers! The spears in the front rows had been flattened and seemed to be about to start charging.
"Quick, quick, order the Ghazni to form a formation! Rely on the chariot formation and meet the enemy with a spear......"
Ahmad gave the most correct order the first time. The horses of the Ghazni were behind their formation, and there was no time to mount them. And when they get on the horse, will they still resist desperately? It's too late to run, even if you run for a while, you can live for a while!
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Just as Ahmad pondered how to save his allies, the drums of war of the Hexi cavalry were already beating.
The first wave of Hexi cavalry had already begun to charge, and the 300 lancers formed three horizontal columns, forming a very dense formation, and in order to maintain the array as much as possible, they also deliberately slowed down the speed of the charge. But the three hundred horses marching through the wall of steel, even if not too fast, were enough to make any enemy who stood in their way tremble.
At this time, the Gazni people were completely panicked, some people were holding spears and seemed to want to resist, some people were pulling out their scimitars and screaming, some people were just stunned with bows and arrows, and more people were looking for their war horses for the first time...... The Gazini knights, who were closest to the cavalry cluster that were charging into formation, could only open their mouths and watch blankly as the three columns of iron horsemen got closer and closer, looking at the large pieces of rolled earth trampled by the horses' hooves, and watching the cold spear tips of the pagan knights who were only clad in plate armor pounce in front of their eyes!
It was a textbook-worthy cavalry assault (and it was written quickly), the terrain was good enough, and the enemy was cooperative enough - all dismounted knights shooting arrows, not a "steel hedgehog" formation of heavy infantry. Although there are many overturned vehicles blocking the charging road, these vehicles are not very high, and the war horse can jump over it, even if it can't jump over, it can also be knocked away. Crossing these last hurdles is a one-sided slaughter. Spears, horses, trampling, three hundred horsemen marched like a wall, crushing vigorously! However, this crushing did not last long, and after the kinetic energy of the shock was exhausted, the cavalry retreated like a whirlwind from the positions of the Gazni who had been knocked out of a "big pit", without the slightest fight, and did not even bother to harvest the heads.
But before the surviving Ghazni knights' frightened souls flew back, a second wave of blows followed! The same number, the same tactics, even the direction of the attack is the same, and the tactics are exactly the same, that is, a violent collision!
Then, there is the third, fourth, fifth...... If it weren't for the plateau at an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters, such repeated impacts would have been able to hit hundreds of waves a day!
However, for the Gaznish, Western Tajiks and Gur, there was no need for hundreds of waves of cavalry assaults, and only four or five waves of attacks were enough to completely shake their front.
These people didn't have much fighting spirit in the first place, but they were forced by Sanjar to invade China, and now they don't hurry up and run away?
However, to their surprise, it was not the Gur or the Western Tajiks who ran away first, but Sanjar himself!
Just when the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Formation of the Hexi Army began to attack the Ghazni, Sanjar knew that the general situation had gone and it was time to flee for his life! Therefore, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately led the more than 4,000 Gulam soldiers around him to turn around and run, and even the four or five thousand Gulam soldiers who dismounted and lined up in the other array...... There aren't so many beef jerky and cut cakes for them! As for the four or five thousand people that Sanjar brought with him, in the end, they inevitably had to gnaw on horse meat.
