"The invincible heavy infantry phalanx of the Eastern Roman Empire was broken like this? Three thousand men were defeated by two hundred cavalry and a barbed roller? ”

Habil and several of the captains around him all turned pale at the sight, and they all looked incredulous. As a diplomat of the Eastern Roman Empire www.biquge.info Hetius trembled even more at this time, and his mouth kept reading: "God, the invincible heavy infantry phalanx for thousands of years is so vulnerable? It can't be, it's not true! ”

Although Habil was in disbelief, he was in no mood to care about why the 3,000 heavy infantry were defeated by the 200 cavalry, because the 2,000 cavalry he sent out in the Chinese army had been killed by the 2,000 Western Qin cavalry and retreated, the Western Qin cavalry not only had superb horsemanship, but also had much stronger riding and archery skills than the cavalry of the Khazar Khanate, they could shoot arrows without pulling the reins, and they could also use their legs to control the warhorse to turn, stop, and turn around, and they could even use the horse's sprint speed to make the arrow shoot farther!

In the first round of shooting, the two thousand Khazar cavalry suffered a big loss, although their riding and archery skills are very good, but the accuracy of the head is not as accurate as the Western Qin cavalry, and the equipment and armor are much worse than the Western Qin cavalry, they are wearing cowhide armor, some have no armor, wearing sheepskin clothes, and the Western Qin cavalry are all steel armor, this steel armor is cast by stamping technology, not only strong defense, but also very thin and light!

Three rounds of continuous shooting, the Khazar cavalry suffered a big loss, two thousand men and horses lost more than 800 people, after the two sides contacted, each pulled out a waist knife to slash, the Western Qin cavalry used the speed of the sprint, coupled with the sharpness of the knife, so that the Khazar cavalry suffered heavy losses, as long as it was cut, either seriously injured or died directly, and after the Western Qin cavalry was cut, the armor resisted a lot of damage, and many people were cut down, the armor was not cut.

The difference in strength between the two sides was clear in this battle, and when there were only about five hundred cavalry left in the two thousand Khazar cavalry, Habir finally couldn't stand it, he knew that if he didn't make arrangements, these five hundred people would be eaten by the Western Qin army in an instant, so he immediately ordered: "Order these five hundred people to retreat to the right flank and join the right flank to fight!" ”

A commander next to him asked, "A: What about the Chinese army?" You can't leave these more than 1,600 Western Qin cavalry alone, right? What if they rushed straight this way? What if they pursued the five hundred? ”

Habil waved his hand and said, "Don't care about so much first, let's see how the people of Western Qin deal with it!" ”

"Yes!"

At this time, the left wing of the Western Qin army and the right wing of the Khazar army were also being inseparable, at the beginning both sides were lined up in a dense formation to impact each other, and the front row suffered heavy losses, after such a violent collision, the Khazar people suffered a little loss because of the physique, strength and skeleton of the war horse, the Khazar people are the northern steppe horse breed, and the sprint speed, physical strength and physical fitness are not as good as the Arabian horse breed of the Western Qin army.

Although the Western Qin army had a slight upper hand in this mutual hedge, both sides lost the speed of the sprint, and could only slash and kill each other in the same place, which had to fight for the ability to fight individual cavalry, and in this regard, the Western Qin army seemed to be not afraid of any army, the Western Qin cavalry paid special attention to the training of single cavalry combat, and the Khazar cavalry began to gradually lose after the initial slashing, and the people in front were slashed and killed, and they could not retreat in the back, so they could only go up hard, but the huge casualties affected the morale of the Khazars.

The Western Qin army paid special attention to group cooperation, and the overall combat ability was definitely not comparable to a single person, and they entered the field in groups of three or five to encircle and kill two or three Khazar cavalry.

"Answer: Assassin Han, the remaining five hundred cavalry have retreated to the right flank, but the right flank of our army seems to be unable to resist the attack of the left flank of the Western Qin army, do you want to send men and horses from the Chinese army to reinforce it?" A captain asked Habil.

Habil said angrily: "My Chinese army plus heavy cavalry is only 6,000 people, how can I send troops to reinforce the right flank?" What if the Chinese army is transferred to reinforce the country, and the Western Qin army attacks in the overall situation of the Chinese army? Pass on the order of Ben Khan, let the right wing resist me to the death, and those who take a step back will be killed immediately! Since the right flank has fallen into disadvantage, then we can only pin our hopes on the left flank, order the left flank of our army to launch a full-line attack on the Western Qin army, pass on my words, kill the centurion of the Western Qin army, reward 200 cattle and sheep each, three women, and promote the officer to one level; Those who killed the commander of the Western Qin army were rewarded with 2,000 cattle and sheep, ten women, and two rank of official promotion; Those who killed the commander of the Western Qin army were rewarded with 5,000 cattle and sheep, 10 women, 200 gold, and an official promotion of the third rank; Those who kill Zhao Ziliang will be rewarded with 10,000 cattle and sheep, 50 women, and 1,000 gold, and will be directly promoted to the commander of 10,000 people! ”

"Yes, A. Thorn Han!"

There will be brave men under the reward! Under such a heavy reward, the morale of the Khazar cavalry on the left flank soared sharply, and one by one they became fierce and fearless of death, and they all rushed towards the right flank of the Western Qin army like crazy.

Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang frowned and said, "How can the morale of the Khazar army on the right wing be completely different?" All of them have been beaten with chicken blood? ”

Gao Shang said: "I'm afraid that Habil has passed on some heavy rewards, otherwise this situation will not occur, please see, the king, they are just more emotionally excited and violent, which is indeed a great threat to those armies that do not have strict military discipline, but for our army, a regular army with strict military discipline, it does not play a big role, and if the individual soldier and the overall tactical ability cannot be improved, it cannot threaten our army!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and ordered: "Since the Khazars have already started attacking on the left, center, and right sides, how can our army not meet it?" Wei Meng was ordered to meet the 123rd Division of the Fourth Army Corps, and the 4th and 5th Divisions were ready for reinforcements! ”

"No!"

At this time, Ma Lu shouted: "Look, my king, the Khazars have a heavy cavalry on their left flank, and there are three thousand heavy cavalry!" If General Wei Meng leads his army to rush forward, he will suffer heavy losses! ”

Zhao Ziliang was quite strange: "Is this Habil in the brain bad or what?" Actually subordinate the heavy cavalry to the left flank instead of the central army? Didn't he know that the left and right flanks were not restricted from the area of operation? Ordered Wei Meng to lead his army to get out of the way of the center of the heavy cavalry of the Khazar army, and then attack the light cavalry in the rear of the left flank of the Khazars! Order the 4th and 5th Divisions of the 4th Legion to use Parthian horse archery against the Khazar heavy cavalry! ”

"Yes!" The herald agreed, the trumpet sounded again, the flag was played, and the drums of war urged the soldiers to move forward and not retreat.

Wei Meng led the three divisions to rush out, at this time he heard the sound of the horn, and then turned his head to look, the flag let him lead his troops around the front rushing heavy cavalry phalanx to attack the Khazar light cavalry behind, his men and horses were on the right flank, next to it was also a large grassland, it was easy to bypass the rushing heavy cavalry phalanx, and it was extremely difficult for the heavy cavalry phalanx to turn and turn around.

"Points-" Wei raised his broadsword and swung it, he took half of the people on the left to the left and stabbed it diagonally to the left, there was a two-mile-wide gap between his right wing and the Chinese army, and half of the people from the circle to the gap did not look crowded at all, and the other half of the people on the right were led by a general to go around from the right.

The three thousand Khazar heavy cavalry rushed over but found that the enemy on the opposite side was divided into two teams and went around to the sides, they pounced on the air, but at this time they had already rushed up the speed, if they stopped, they would inevitably be besieged, and it was not easy to run up the speed, fortunately, there were three thousand cavalry of the Western Qin army on the opposite side, and they rushed directly to the remaining three thousand Western Qin troops on the opposite side, as for the six thousand Western Qin cavalry that bypassed from both sides, they handed it over to the people behind to deal with it!

When the three thousand Khazar heavy cavalry rushed to the vicinity of the fourth and fifth parts of the right flank of the Western Qin army, they found that they had already turned around and began to gallop forward.

"Whoosh ······"

Arrows flew and shot at the thick armor of the Khazar heavy cavalry, most of them were blocked by the thick armor and horse armor and fell to the ground, but the Western Qin army did not stop shooting arrows, there were always unlucky ghosts who were shot, and a middle Khazar heavy cavalry fell to the ground to a large extent to affect the teammates behind, and their war horses stopped and were hit by the war horses rushing behind, followed by a series of impacts, causing dozens of casualties.

"Go hard, chase them and kill them!" A heavy cavalry commander roared.

The pursued Western Qin cavalry was only a few dozen meters away from the pursuing Khazar heavy cavalry, and as long as they worked harder, they could catch up, but this distance seemed to be forever out of reach, and they were about to be caught up, but the Western Qin cavalry in front of them could suddenly accelerate and increase the distance between the two sides.

It wasn't until the 3,000 Khazar cavalry were lured out of the battlefield by the 3,000 Western Qin cavalry using the Parthian horse archery method and found that they had lost most of their people, that they found that it was too late to retreat and turn around at this time, and their war horses had already run foamy, and as the Khazar horses fell to the ground, the 3,000 Khazar heavy cavalry were completely finished!

"Newspaper - King, three thousand Khazarian cavalry have been completely annihilated by our army with Parthian tactics!"

Zhao Ziliang said loudly when he heard this: "Okay! Pass my order and order the second, third, and fourth divisions of the Chinese Escort Army to attack, and the heavy cavalry formation will follow! ”

"Yes, King!"

When Habil learned that his heavy cavalry had lost contact, he had a bad premonition in his heart, and he saw that the Western Qin Chinese army had dispatched a large group of soldiers and horses, and more than 5,000 cavalry rushed towards him, and he immediately ordered all the Chinese troops to rush to meet him! He had to do so, because he had no more troops to mobilize.

Until this time, Habil had already played all the hole cards in his hand, and Zhao Ziliang still had a large number of hole cards in his hand that he had not shot!

When the 6,000 light cavalry of the Khazar army rushed to the 6,000 Western Qin cavalry on the opposite side, they found that the Western Qin cavalry on the opposite side began to bypass them on both sides again, outflanking them in a wild goose formation.

But the Western Qin army did not want to surround the 6,000 Khazar cavalry, their goose marching formation was very cracked open a big mouth, and from the bottom of the big mouth rushed out rows of neat heavy cavalry wearing dark and thick armor, these heavy cavalry even men and horses were wrapped in steel, only the mouth and nose were exposed, they held spears more than four meters long and galloped in a dense formation.

"Oh, the gods, it's the heavy cavalry of the Western Qin Army!" The Khazar cavalry saw the heavy cavalry of the Western Qin army rushing directly towards them, and they all wanted to squeeze to both sides, but the two sides had been occupied by the Western Qin light cavalry, and the two sides were fighting to the death, and the Khazar cavalry in the middle wanted to turn around and flee with a frightened face, under the charge of this heavy cavalry phalanx, no light cavalry could survive, the Khazar cavalry was timid, they crowded each other and turned back, but the consequence in exchange was chaos, chaos!

With a loud bang, the phalanx of heavy cavalry crashed into the Khazar light cavalry, and all the men and animals in front of them were crushed into powder.

The Khazarian army completely collapsed at this moment, but at this moment, to make matters worse, Bran took a thousand of his men and rushed towards Habil's position.

Shocked and angry, Habil scolded: "A traitor, a traitor, a traitor never dies well!" ”

Bran slashed Habir's guards and scolded: "You never treat us as human beings, we are just a stepping stone for you to ascend to the throne of the Khan, and you will abandon it when you are used up, you are not worthy to be the king of the Khazars!" Sons, kill Habil, and we'll make a new king!" ”

"Kill!"

"Answer: Piercing Han, we can't stand it, we can't stand it, the whole line is defeated, let's withdraw quickly, it's too late if we don't withdraw!" One of the ministers shouted loudly, and immediately sent someone to hold Habil and fled to the rear.

"Where to go, take your life!" After a loud shout, Duan Xiushi led his 1,800 cavalry to appear on Habil's escape road, and a big sword swept over, and Habil's head flew into the sky.

The overall situation has been decided, Zhao Ziliang breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered loudly: "Chuan Ben will order, an all-out attack!" After speaking, he shouted to Brehan: "The dragon guard follows this king to kill the enemy, drive-"

"Kill—" Countless cavalry of the Western Qin army galloped across the grassland to pursue the fleeing Khazars.

One by one, the Khazars were caught up by the Western Qin army and fell to the ground, and arrows flew out, and from time to time the Khazars fell from their horses after being hit by arrows in the back and were trampled to death by the horses' hooves.

With the death of Habil, the Khazar army also fell, the Khazars saw that the Khazar Han had fallen, and the escape became more urgent, without the Khazar Han, the Khazar cavalry no longer had the courage and hope, at this time they only hoped to escape from the pursuit of the Western Qin army and reunite with their families.

Wang Jin looked at the scene of the Western Qin army chasing and fleeing Khazars, his heart was surging, and he couldn't help but say to Zang Xiyan: "It is really a pleasure to watch the King of Western Qin lead the troops to fight!" This may be the only chance in Wang's life! Wang wanted to make a poem, but he couldn't do it! ”

Zang Xiyan smiled: "Lord Wang, you are so excited! ”
