As soon as the cannon fire rang out on the southern shore of the Strait of Hormuz, it didn't take long for Hassankeyin, who was squatting on the northern shore, to learn. In fact, when it comes to transmitting news, although Wan'er was limited by the lack of conditions in all aspects of rest, and failed to make a telegraph system like Lu Ren and Shirley, people in all eras will have their own set of methods, like the wolf smoke and beacon fire here in China, and the Western countries such as rest and Rome at that time also had a set of similar things.

In short, Hassan Keyin received the news very quickly, and it was clear that the enemy who was now attacking the fortress on the south bank of Hormuz was the Han army, so he scolded Kasili in his heart at that time.

You must know that when Kassankeli ordered half of the troops to be transferred from Hassan Kein, Hassan Keyin was unwilling and unwilling in every way, but he had no choice but to obey Kassank's orders. Let's put it this way, Hassan Keyin is a relatively simple general, who only cares about the current war situation, but he is not so interested in political issues, so in his opinion, it is the top priority to defend the Strait of Hormuz no matter what, as for what will happen to the Parsis region and how to play the political card in Kasili, it is not something that Hassan Keyin will care about.

Therefore, Hassan Keyin has always been keeping a close eye on Lu Ren's movements, so for the fake news that Lu Ren has passed on twice before and after, Hassan Keyin has always regarded it as Lu Ren's trick...... Oh, this is not to say that Hassan Keyin is very clever to see through Lu Ren's tricks, but in the current situation, Hassan Keyin wants to take a more secure route, that is, no matter what, he must concentrate his forces to defend the Strait of Hormuz.

Whether his thinking is right or wrong, I'm afraid it's really unclear here, and there is no absolute right or absolute wrong in the world. Maybe Cass Eli didn't transfer half of the troops, so that Hassan Keyin could be more convenient when resisting Lu Ren, but if the Palsis area was completely chaotic, what would it mean for Cass Eli?

Anyway, things are already like this now, and when Hassan Keyin heard the word "Han Army", he immediately realized that this time it was very likely that Lu Ren's large army pressed over on all fronts, and this is what Hassan Keyin has always been most worried about. So at this time, Hassan Queyin did two things, the first was to order the troops to start the corresponding operation according to the previous deployment, and the second was to immediately write to Kasili, hoping that Kasili could transfer troops back.

Not to mention how Hassan Keyin responded, just that at this moment in the South Bank Fortress, the resting defenders were busy fighting back at the invading enemy outside the city. Probably because he saw that the Han army outside the city was only infantry and artillery, a bold general asked the defender of the fortress to bring a cavalry unit over to disperse the Han army.

At this time, the defenders saw that the artillery performance of the Han army was superior to that of their own...... It's a little funny to say that the artillery on the Han side probably has a range of about 50 meters more than the artillery at rest. Fifty meters is only a distance that a person with fast legs and feet can run in a few seconds, but at this time, it is a big headache for the fortress guards. Because it is these fifty meters, the artillery on the head of the city here cannot hit the Han army, but the artillery of the Han army can bombard the city wall of their own side. Therefore, if you don't want to find a way to curb the artillery fire of the Han army at this time, the artillery of the Han army can completely hide comfortably outside the range of the resting artillery, adjust the muzzle of the cannon very calmly, and then gather fire to blast out one big hole after another in the resting city wall.

Because of this, the garrison general agreed to the request of the partial general to lead the cavalry to disperse the Han army, and pulled out a cavalry force of 2,000 cavalry to the partial general. It's not that they don't want to give more, but most of the fast-moving cavalry in the defenders of the Hormuz region have been transferred to the Palsis area by Kasili. You must know that the Sassanid family who is doing things in the Palsis region can be said to have the same root as Anxi, and its main force is also based on cavalry, and now it is in front of rogues and robbers, so at this time, it can only use cavalry to deal with the Sassanid family.

On the other hand, Lu Ren's army mainly came from the sea, and what was needed to deal with naval ships was infantry and artillery, and cavalry was of little significance to naval ships, so the rest of the defenders who stayed in the Strait of Hormuz were mainly infantry and artillery, and the cavalry of the main arms that could be called the rest tradition was not left a lot.

Whether 2,000 cavalry can break up 5,000 infantry is not easy to say. However, in the eyes of the fortress guards, the main purpose of sending cavalry out now is to limit the artillery fire of the Han army, so that the Han army will no longer bombard the fortress so comfortably and calmly, then it should be enough for these two thousand cavalry to rush over.

In short, the 2,000 rest cavalry went out of the city under the artillery fire of the Han army, and after completing the assembly in a hurry, they rushed towards the 5,000 Han troops outside the city.

At this time, the range of the artillery made by Lu Ren and Shirley was actually not far, the longest range was about two thousand meters, and the distance of two thousand meters was not called a distance at all for the cavalry who rested.

In the Han army's formation, Gan Ning was riding on horseback and nibbling on an apple, and Gan Ning was also disdainful of the rest cavalry that was about to rush to the front of the phalanx. In fact, when the rest cavalry went out of the city under the fire of the Han army, Gan Ning had already noticed it, and Gan Ning had heard more than once about the rest of the cavalry, but he never had a chance to fight with the rest of the cavalry. Now that he was finally going to face the resting cavalry, Gan Ning was disappointed with the resting cavalry in front of him. But

This is not to blame the rest of the cavalry, because these are only the light cavalry of the civilian class, and the rest of the noble heavy cavalry of the main force of the rest of the core are transferred to the Palsis area except for a small part of the main force of the rest of the rest of the cavalry in Hassankey. Or is it that sentence, this is always preparing for a naval battle with Lu Ren, is it possible to let the elite heavy cavalry who rest in peace to attack the ships on the sea? Not to mention that those war horses with heavy armor will sink to the bottom of the water in minutes, and if you really want to impact the ships on the sea, I'm afraid it's useless for you to ride a seahorse, right?

"Let the sons and daughters prepare to meet the enemy. Don't ask Lao Tzu how to meet the enemy, don't you know what to do with such a little tattered cavalry!? ”

This is Gan Ning's order lazily on horseback, nibbling on an apple. It seems a little irresponsible, but in fact, these soldiers of Gan Ning, or the infantry in the entire Lu Ren military system, have long been extremely well trained in how to deal with the resting cavalry. You must know that Lu Ren has long been prepared to rest in peace, so how can he not be fully prepared in these matters?

In fact, before the artillery fired, the infantry had already removed the combined steel pipes from the vehicles, assembled the steel horse-repellent piles by dividing them by two, and smashed the fixed feet firmly into the soil. Now that they had received Gan Ning's order, the shield soldiers immediately put the big shields on the fixed points of the horse rejection stakes and fastened the bolts, and the spearmen handed the spears one by one from the reserved shield holes. In addition, there are a number of holes in the shield wall, but they are reserved for muskets to shoot outside the shield wall.

Therefore, when the rest cavalry was only halfway through, they were shocked to find that the Han army on the opposite side had erected a solid shield wall almost in the blink of an instant, and the cold light emitted from the spearheads that poked out one by one also made the rest cavalry shiver at that time...... How does this Nima rush!? Crash into the sausage hanging on the wall!?

The hearts of the rest cavalry were cold, but the horses that stepped off the war horses were a little uncontrollable, so they were getting closer and closer to the shield wall. Finally, the rest cavalry who rushed to the front was still a little smart, and immediately went to pull the horse's head, preparing to sweep past the side of the Han army's military formation, and then see if there was anything to do on the side and behind the Han army's formation.

But at this time, the musketeers in the Han army began to shoot wildly. At this time, the muskets used by Lu Ren's musketeers were between arquebuses and breech guns, and they would be a little unavailable on the battlefield in modern times, but at this time, they were definitely the life harvesters on the battlefield.

5,000 infantry, considering the combination of arms, the number of musketeers is actually only 2,000, but at this moment, 2,000 musketeers against 2,000 light cavalry, it is simply a matter of sloppy human life! After only two rounds of indiscriminate firing, the two thousand Sabbatical cavalry who rushed out of the fortress were put down by four or five hundred, and this situation made the Sabbath cavalry panic and scatter in all directions. To hell with any rushing formations and destroying the enemy, it! At this time, getting away from these monsters in front of you is the top priority!

The chaos of the rest cavalry naturally did not pose any threat to the Han army's military array, and the shield soldiers in the corresponding position in the military formation quickly withdrew the big shield, so that the artillery could continue to bombard the head of the fortress. Speaking of which, the two thousand resting cavalry are not useless, at least their rush made the artillery fire here temporarily stop for a while.

The fortress guard saw such a scene at the head of the city, and he was dumbfounded at that time, how could he never have imagined that the combat effectiveness and adaptability of this army outside the city would be so strong, and the two thousand cavalry he sent out added up to only a few minutes? Is this broken up? And then the cannonballs that whistled from the end of the Han army again also made the fortress defenders have to make one more choice, that is, to quickly send a letter to Hassan Keyin again for help.

At this moment, in the Han army formation, Gan Ning finished nibbling on the apple, but he found a chicken leg and gnawed it. He casually glanced at the military formation, asked the artillerymen about the amount of ammunition, and after making sure that there was no problem, he glanced at the scattered rest cavalry outside the formation, smiled and then ordered: "Release the signal, let Ma Mengqi and them also get up and move their legs and feet." In addition, immediately go to inform the main father, please move the main father's camera. ”

Immediately, a dazzling signal flare shot into the sky from the middle of the formation...... There are muskets, but where can't flares, which are actually enhanced fireworks, be organized?

And somewhere outside the city, Ma Chao was dozing off in the shade of a tree, and was suddenly told that he saw the signal sent by Gan Ning, Ma Chao stood up and stretched, and then lazily ordered his subordinates: "Go!" Let's go to Gan Ning and grab some meat to eat! ”

Although the words were lazy, Ma Chao's movements were not slow, and the movements of the cavalry under his command were also not slow. These people have been here with Ma Chao for a while, and they have been recuperating almost all the time, and their energy has long been useless. Now that there is a place to use this energy at this time, naturally everyone is gearing up, preparing to grab some heads from Gan Ning and come back to exchange for successful labor to exchange for wine.

Let's talk about the rest of the cavalry, they were stunned by a random shot here by Ganning, but the rest people also have the fierceness of the rest people, and at this time, there were also seven or eight hundred cavalry in a roundabout, avoiding the firepower of the Ganning army formation and regrouping together, and detoured to the flank direction of the Ganning army formation to see if there was a chance to start. But before they could find a place to start, Ma Chao rushed over with his elite cavalry, that is, without saying a word, with a gun point, five thousand elite cavalry rushed towards the remaining rest cavalry.

Five thousand elite horsemen to rush and kill seven or eight hundred horsemen, what is the concept? On average, it's seven or eight to beat someone else, okay? The heads are not enough for the elite horsemen under the command of Ma Chao. What's more, the rest cavalry has just recovered from the panic of being shot indiscriminately by Gan Ning, and the state has not really stabilized, and Ma Chao and his fine cavalry have made up for a short period of sleep.

This may be regarded as the most elite cavalry on the Chinese side of the Han Dynasty and the cavalry of the same era, but the conditions of the two sides are not equal at all, so when Ma Chao led the cavalry to carry out a charge, there were not many seven or eight hundred rest cavalry left.

But for these rest cavalry, they are really too much of a loss, not to mention the previous factors, really wait until they are about to face the horses, then they realize that this cavalry unit dressed in Arab clothing, how can the weapon in their hands not the scimitar used by the Arabs, but a long-pole horse pistol!?

In addition to the iconic cavalry, the rest of the cavalry is generally based on scimitars in its melee weapons, and they are not very familiar with long-pole weapons, which also makes these rest cavalry suffer a lot of losses when facing the enemy. Huaxia said that "one inch is long and one inch strong", which is not unreasonable. Anyway, when engaged, the knives of the rest cavalry could not reach the side of the Ma Chao cavalry, and the tips of the guns of the Ma Chao cavalry had already pierced the rest cavalry, and then left a dead corpse, but was trampled by the hooves of the horses......
