If Daoud withdrew with this thousand horseback infantry before Zhao Hu could lead his army to catch up, he could delay for a while, but he couldn't withdraw, his task was to stop the Western Qin army from continuing the pursuit. Fastest updates

In fact, Ziad and Daoud's plan to divide their troops to block the Western Qin army failed, they could divide their troops, and Zhao Hu also divided his troops to pursue Ziade, Daoud's role in staying here seems to be small, he still failed to stop the Western Qin army from pursuing Ziade, and he could only block the 1,500 cavalry led by Zhao Hu for Ziade.

Infantry is always infantry, even if they ride horses, they are only infantry, they can't become cavalry, because they don't know the combat skills of cavalry, when Daoud saw Zhao Hu leading the army to rush towards him, he took the initiative to lead a thousand of his men to meet him.

Before the two sides came into contact, Daoud's men and horses were beaten by Zhao Hu's men and horses in several waves of cavalry and heavy casualties, and his infantry only knew how to ride horses on horseback, when it came to horsemanship, their horsemanship had not yet been introduced, and the horsemanship commanded by the horsemanship and combat experience would block or dodge arrows on horseback, but these infantry obviously did not have this ability, so their casualties were very large, and several waves of arrows were shot down, and Daoud's men lost more than 300 people and lost one-third of their troops.

Zhao Hu laughed while leading the charge: "This Daoud is really old, and his brain is not easy to use, at a glance, he knows that these people under him are not cavalry, but infantry on horseback, he actually asked his soldiers to give up the combat method they are best at, and choose the combat method that they don't know at all, this is sending them to death!" Flag officer, order all the soldiers to divide their troops left and right, and surround and kill them! ”

& General! The flag officer agreed, and immediately gave the order to the flag bearer.

The Western Qin cavalry who received the order were divided into two, and just when the two sides were about to make contact, they suddenly separated to the left and right, and Daoud led the team to rush over and cut the enemy, as if they hit the cotton with a punch. When he fought with Zhao Ziliang, he had seen the Western Qin army suddenly split into two during the sprint to outflank the combat tactics from the left and right, when he was beaten very badly, and then he escaped, he has been studying how to restrain this tactic for many years, after years of research, he found that the only way is to use the same tactics to fight, if you want to remain undefeated, at least to ensure that the combat quality and combat ability of the cavalry under his command are comparable to the cavalry of the Western Qin army, but he found that he could not do it at all, Over the years, he has also trained cavalry, and wants to make his cavalry reach the combat quality and combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Western Qin Army, but he failed, no matter how he trains, the soldiers cannot have a strong degree of tacit understanding like the Western Qin cavalry, nor can they have the same superb discipline and consistency as the Western Qin cavalry, and the cavalry he has spent years training is still unable to perfectly implement this tactic, and finally came up with a nondescript, in the battle of Bard Town a few days ago, He commanded his cavalry to use the same tactics to confront the Western Qin cavalry, but he didn't expect that not long after the tactics were executed, his cavalry was shot by the Western Qin cavalry with a rain of arrows.

That battle was a great blow to Daoud, and he knew that he would never be able to learn the essence of the combat tactics of the Western Qin cavalry, unless he could get the army-building ideas and training methods of the Western Qin cavalry, but this was almost impossible.

The real reason why Daoud chose to stay to block the pursuit of Western Qin was that he was seeking his own death, which was right by Zhao Hu, he was really looking for death, he was already disheartened, so many years of hard work was defeated in one face, where did he still have the hope and courage to live?

After discovering that the Western Qin army was using this tactic again, he was already crazy and yelled: "Follow me to attack the left side!" ”

Daoud also has no other way, he rushed to the doctor in a hurry, anyway, he came to beg for death, die and die, he immediately rushed to the left side of the Western Qin army with all the remaining soldiers, the Western Qin cavalry strictly implemented one of the principles of this tactic: resolutely do not contact the enemy before the main general has not issued a new order, so when Daoud took all the remaining and will rush towards the left Western Qin army, the cavalry of the Western Qin army on the left side rode their horses to avoid, while avoiding and constantly releasing arrows, As long as there is a distance between the two sides where they can draw their bows and shoot arrows, they will not stop firing arrows.

Daoud found that his plan had failed again, and before he could lead his army to the left of the Western Qin army, the cavalry of the Western Qin army avoided it from a distance, and in the process, his soldiers suffered heavy losses again, and when there was no one in front of him, he turned his head to see that less than half of the soldiers under his command had followed.

If you want to fight hard, the Western Qin Army will not give him a chance to fight at all, Daoud is angry and holds back his internal injuries in his heart, if this continues, he and his subordinates will be played to death by the Western Qin Army, but at this time, Daoud has been carried away by anger and lost his mind, this matter is only afraid that it will make people crazy.

Daoud once again turned around with the rest of the soldiers and horses and rushed towards the Western Qin army, Zhao Hu turned around and outflanked the army again, he saw Daoud's crazy appearance, and muttered: "This old thing has been played crazy!" ”

Half an hour later, the battle was over, the ground was littered with the corpses of the Great Eaters, the surrounding was filled with an invisible and rich death air, and the sky was black and oppressive with vultures circling endlessly, these desert cleaners were waiting for the feast below.

& Sweep the battlefield, scavenge all the valuable things from the corpses, put away the good swords, bows and crossbows, and don't want the broken copper and iron! Zhao Hu gave the order, put away his weapons, jumped off the horse, took off the dry food bag and water bag from the spare war horse, walked to a plate to prepare to eat, a personal soldier immediately brought a small horse for him to sit on, sit on the battlefield that had just ended, eat by the pile of corpses, for Zhao Hu, a murderous person no longer has any feelings.

To be honest, Zhao Hu has no interest in collecting the corpses of these Great Food Guards, the guards are equipped with standard equipment, they are all poor Persians from Khorasan who have been recruited, where do these people have any money? Naturally, there was nothing of value on the corpse. It is better to scrape the corpses of these big food guards than to scrape the corpses of those believers, tribal armies or mercenaries, especially the corpses of the believers, they can often make a windfall, because the soldiers of these believers' armies are their own horses, weapons and equipment, and there are both poor and rich people in these believers' armies, and there are also children of nobles and wealthy families. There are also a lot of precious gemstone jewelry on his body.

After resting in place for a long time, the soldiers regained their spirits, and the baggage team behind them also followed, Zhao Hu asked the soldiers under his command to replenish enough food and water before gathering and continuing to set off.

The general asked, "General, the big cannibal has run to the southwest, how can we go to the northwest?" ”

Zhao Hu said: "Our main force is already waiting for Ziad and his men and horses at the nearest lake, Ziyad will be attacked by our army when he takes his people to get water, where else can he go except to Scorpion Ridge?" Unless he wants his men to die of thirst in the desert! We are waiting for them on the way to the north-west, and if they deviate from the original route of the march, we will whip them back to the correct course, and in short, we will not let them run wildly, like a sheep, and we will drive them into the sheepfold that we have prepared beforehand! ”

The general was convinced, hugged his fists and said: "The general is smart, and the last general will throw himself to the ground!" ”

A day later, a large food army of more than 3,000 people came to the edge of an unknown lake in the southwest, this is the big food army led by Ziad, after he separated from Daoud, he led the men and horses to this side, ran for a day and a night, the whole army of more than 3,700 people were tired and killed more than 300 horses, many soldiers ran out of water half a day ago, if you don't drink water for a day in the plains, you will only feel uncomfortable, but in the desert for a day without drinking water, people will die, and many soldiers' lips are so thirsty that they crack.

Having finally found the lake, the soldiers of the Great Eaters, who were dying of thirst, jumped off their horses and rushed into the lake to drink their hearts without waiting for Ziyad's order.

Ziad did not stop them, he jumped off his horse and walked to the lake with a water bag to fetch water and gave the order that everyone should prepare water for five days, and set out in half an hour.

The soldiers rushed to the lake at this time to drink a lot of water, and after drinking their fill, they began to bathe and play, not listening to Ziad's orders to stock up on drinking water.

Just as the soldiers of the Great Food Army were having fun by the lake, countless figures of Western Qin cavalry suddenly appeared on the sand dunes and heights around the lakeside, and a loud roar came out of the mouth of a Western Qin general: "Ziade, Ben will be waiting here for a long time!" ”

This was immediately discovered by the soldiers of the Great Food Army who were on guard, "General, look, the Western Qin Army, the Western Qin Army is coming!" ”

The frightened cries were heard by Ziad and the others nearby, and the panic spread instantly, and the big food soldiers playing on the lakeside ran to the shore with screams, and for a time the lakeside was in chaos.

Just when they were confusedly looking for their war horses and weapons, the Western Qin army had already rushed down from the heights, they held and held spears as fast as thunder, Ziad's face was pale, he knew that it was completely impossible to meet the enemy in array at this time, if he didn't want to die, he could only flee quickly, as fast as he could, as many people as he could, otherwise they all had to die here.

& Retreat! Ziad shouted and turned over his horse and fled quickly to the northwest, some of his cronies and followers only protected him, and the Western Qin army was killed from the southeast, so he could only flee in the northwest direction.
