Chapter 1097: The Iron Cavalry of the Persian Campaign

At least in this era, the Safavid Empire's Iron Cavalry is definitely the strongest cavalry group in this world.

The Safavid dynasty was a dynasty founded by Turkic Turkmen with Persian ancestry. The cavalry of the Safavid Dynasty, both tactically and militarily, was a typical "Central Asian style", and attached too much importance to the role of cavalry, especially the iron cavalry with men and horses in armor, and had a large number of heavy cavalry and light cavalry units with strong combat power.

The Safavid Dynasty of Iran, with Shiism as its state religion, fought for 300 years against the Turkic Ottoman Empire, which adopted Sunni Islam, in order to control important strategic and trade routes between Europe and Asia in order to control important strategic and trade routes between Arabia and Iraq, Kurdistan and Transcaucasia.

The leading generals of the Safavid Empire in Persia were also experienced in a hundred battles, and they were all excited when they saw the situation of the Far Eastern Army on the other side. In such an open area, it was extremely advantageous for the heavy cavalry assault of the Safavid Empire.

In such an open and flat environment, the Safavid heavy cavalry, who were heavily armoured, skilled in archery and horseback, and good at armor-piercing weapons such as war hammers and axes, as long as they broke the weak military formation of the Far Eastern Army on the opposite side, it would be the end of the Far Eastern Army.

Therefore, the commanders of the Persian armies in three directions, of course, would not let go of this opportunity, and they invariably formulated a preemptive tactic, that is, to concentrate all the cavalry and devote all their strength to a group charge against the military formation of the Far Eastern Army, completely crushing the opponent's military formation.

Once the weak military formation of the Far Eastern Army is dispersed, the fate that awaits the Far Eastern Army will be a large-scale rout of the entire military formation. All the Persian cavalry needed to do was to keep pursuing, wielding a scimitar, and easily harvesting the heads of the Far Eastern Army.

The daring troops of the Samurai Army of the Far Eastern Army have been quietly waiting for the other party's reaction. The Persian army on the opposite side was densely packed, at least twice as large as theirs, and also had a large cavalry force.

Although the troops of the Dare Army have experienced a hundred battles. But in the face of such a large cavalry force, their hearts were still very nervous. However, all the officers and men held the guns in their hands tightly and stood solemnly, and the entire army formation was silent, only the heavy inhalation of the officers and soldiers.

Fujita did not sit on an airship to command the troops, but he stood in the military formation in the direction of Herat, riding a war horse on a high ground and observing the situation of the Persian army on the opposite side with a telescope.

He lowered his binoculars. Turning his head to Lin Hua, the chief of staff next to him, he said: "It seems that the Persians can't help it, they are mobilizing cavalry troops, and the scale is not small." Our strategy should have worked. ”

Lin Hua was holding a telescope and was constantly observing the changes in the Persian military formation.

"No one will let go of such an opportunity, if they give up this opportunity to attack, then they are not a qualified commander. The army of this era, even a pure firearms unit equipped with fully armed muskets and artillery, could not withstand the impact of a large number of heavy cavalry in such a flat and open environment. ”

Fujita laughed and said, "Then we're welcome......

After he finished speaking, he turned to Kenji behind him and said, "Kenji-kun." Order the troops to prepare to meet the enemy, implement it according to the predetermined plan, and annihilate as much of the Persian elite as possible. ”

"Hi ......"

Kenji nodded, agreed, and left.

Ten minutes later, the Persian army formation on the opposite side began to change on a large scale, and countless Persian iron cavalry were seizing the time to adjust the array, and they were assembled in front of the Persian infantry formation. A very large cavalry array was formed.

The heavy cavalry of the Persian standing army, the cavalry of the Red Hat Army, and the civilian armies of the Sultan lords in various places, composed of countless Turkmen, Azerbaijanis, Afshars, and Uzbeks, were all quickly organizing the queue at this time. Columns of war horses were neatly arranged in arrays. Excitedly awaiting the order to attack.

At the front of the Persian cavalry formation were heavy cavalry, and light cavalry was deployed behind and on both flanks of the cavalry array. In order to achieve the effect of the cavalry group charge, the Persian commander mobilized all the elite cavalry, hoping to complete the battle and completely crush the army formation of the Far Eastern Army.

Now the generals of the Persian army have almost celebrated the victory in advance. Their eyes were filled with excitement. If the main forces of the Far Eastern Army were crushed in this battle, a large number of Persian cavalry would take advantage of the situation and drive straight into Afghanistan and across the Indus Valley.

Several commanders of the Persian army trembled with excitement at the victory of this great battle. Victory over the mighty Far Eastern Army. For them, it can be regarded as a peerless miracle.

As the horns sounded, there were also bursts of cheers from the huge Persian cavalry arrays. The cavalry of the Safavid Empire was also extremely excited, facing the thin military formation of the Far East Army in front, the battle-hardened Persian iron cavalry was confident that they could wipe out the enemy.

Suddenly, a low and long horn sounded sound, and the cavalry arrays of the Safavid Empire on the opposite side boiled over in an instant, as if they were boiling.

"Uh-huh...... Woo ......"

Countless Persian horsemen roared loudly, beating their horses and galloping wildly.

It was like a monstrous wave that suddenly set off, surging in an instant. It was as if a dark cloud of black pressure was slowly pressing, exuding an incomparably violent momentum, which made people tremble.

Countless horses' hooves slapped the ground, making a loud noise, and the knock hit the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Dare to Death Army.

In the face of the overwhelming Persian iron cavalry, even the fierce and fearless warriors of the Death Army who had experienced a hundred battles felt their throats dry, their hearts beat faster, and cold sweat flowed down their bodies like rain.

The experienced non-commissioned officers in the formation of the Far Eastern Army's daredevils all shouted loudly in unison: "Hold on...... Hold ...... steady"

The generals of the various departments of the Dare Army also began to shout loudly: "We are the invincible Far Eastern Army Death Army, and it is the honor of every Death Army warrior to die on the battlefield for our home...... Kill ......"

The officers and soldiers of the originally nervous death army heard the shouts of many non-commissioned officers and generals, and their bodies couldn't help but be shocked. The cultivation of strict discipline in the death army over the years, and the experience of countless bloody battles, made the expressions of the officers and soldiers who dared to die slowly become firm, and they also shouted loudly.

"Kill...... Kill ......"

The voices grew louder and louder, and finally the entire Death Dare Corps roared along.

Countless brave soldiers used their best strength, roaring loudly at the top of their throats, their eyes were red as blood, and the green tendons on their necks were tightly tensed, venting the resentment that had been suppressed in their hearts to the fullest.

The officers and soldiers who dared to die after countless bloody battles, once they released their murderous aura, instantly seemed to have completely changed into a person, turning into a savage humanoid beast. (To be continued.) )
