Chapter 1194. Iron Cavalry collided
Tens of thousands of bowl-sized iron hooves whipped the earth, the first wave of impact 40,000 heavy cavalry hooves, even this eternal ancient wasteland trembled, the cavalry galloped down, the wind whirred with the flag, the front row of heavy cavalry sandwiched under the armpit of the horse lance reflected a chilling sharp light.
Wrapped in horse armor, it seems that even the war horse has become a bloodthirsty monster, desperately sprinting forward, longing for the hot blood of the same kind or the strange two-legged creature to cover its fur.
Although the first round only led 10,000 heavy cavalry to charge, Su Dingfang's confidence was still full, the weight of the heavy cavalry in full armor exceeded half a ton, and under the impact of forty or fifty miles per hour, the impact force was no less than that of a light truck, not to mention that the knight still had a sharp horse lance in his hand.
With the force of the impact alone, Su Dingfang seemed to have foreseen that the opposing Arab light cavalry would be knocked to the ground like butter cut by a hot knife, while the 20,000 river cavalry that followed him continued to erode through the wound he had torn until the giant of the Arab army fell to the ground.
The cavalry confrontation was only between lightning and flint, so many thoughts, the Damin ironclad cavalry had rushed out hundreds of meters without stopping, but the Arabs on the opposite side seemed to be frightened, and now they had just added up to the speed, and they were originally at a disadvantage in armor, and without speed, no matter how brave and fearless the Bedouin riders on the collision were, they were one-sided slaughter.
But with such a huge advantage, a strong sense of uneasiness arose in Su Dingfang's heart, the other party's army is also a meritorious army that has experienced a hundred battles, and it should not behave like this, unless there is fraud!
Secretly raising vigilance, Su Dingfang still did not order the cavalry to slow down, but accelerated the speed even more, the life of the heavy cavalry is speed and impact, no matter what kind of conspiracy the Arabs have, it will collapse under absolute strength, Su Dingfang believes that he has the ability to command the battle to resist all kinds of conspiracies.
Thirty meters, twenty meters, the wind cut on the face like a knife, and the feather arrows shot by the other party clanged on the armor, Su Dingfang could even see the frightened expression on the face of the other horse, but at this moment, the Arab light cavalry that was attacking in small steps suddenly cracked from the middle and scattered to both sides.
In an instant, Su Lie's pupils also shrank, and behind the cavalry, there were more than a dozen columns of Arab infantry that were not neatly arranged, and the super-long spears seven or eight meters long were superimposed together, forming a formidable sea of spears and knives.
In the last siege of the Right Route Army, Sheng Lianshan reported that the Arabs had trained a phalanx of pikemen similar to Macedonian heavy infantry, and this report did not attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Great Min, not that they did not believe Sheng Lianshan, but that history has proved that Alexander the Great's army was not invincible, and there were many ways to kill these slow spear formations.
However, there has never been a garbage tactic, only the proper and inappropriate use, tens of thousands of Arab light infantry are not standardized into a super-long spear formation, just stuck in the dead end of the Damin ironclad cavalry.
"General, what should I do?"
The lieutenant who was running in front turned his head in horror, but wrapped under the iron mask, Su Dingfang's hideous face only uttered a word neatly.
"Rush!"
At this time, it is too late to retreat, only the narrow road meets, and the brave wins! Whoever is brave will live!
On both sides, the Bedouin riders who fell behind were in the panic screams of the Damin ironclad cavalry who were lined up in a sharp array to charge and mercilessly waved their horse lances to strangle and dismount, even if the tall camels were still screaming and flying out after being hit, three seconds, the vanguard general who was galloping at the forefront of the whole army had already let out a desperate and crazy roar, and the pupils of the Arab super long gunners in the front row also showed fear.
…………
The tragic scene was reflected in Li Jie's telescope at such a distance, the seven or eight meter-long spears were successively pierced with the heavy armor of the first, second, third, and fourth rows of ironclad cavalry, and the violent impact force made the pieces of guns break into several pieces as crisply as toothpicks.
The horse that had been stabbed through the chest fell to the ground with a bang, and finally crashed into the Arab soldiers in the front row, and was thrown out, and the knights who were picked out by the spears turned into fierce weapons of attack, and smashed into the Arab spearmen in the back row, and the heavy armor was splattered with flesh and blood, and the sound of cracks came and went.
However, even at a huge price, the knights of the Three Rivers recruited from Hangu Guanning County still did not flinch, and continued to attack the loose pike phalanx like the tide in waves, and the Arab light cavalry who had lost their guns in the front row turned around in horror and wanted to flee, but they were immediately trampled under the horses by the iron cavalry that rushed up, and the iron cavalry behind them were assassinated by the spears of the third and fourth rows, and the last roar before dying threw out the horse lance, piercing the infantry that blocked them.
Every inch of land is opened up with flesh and blood, the Arab spear phalanx, which had no standardized training, was finally loosened under the impact of the Fujian army, the brave Bedouin gave up the formation and rushed forward with their spears, and the cowardly ones dropped their spears and retreated, and the eight rows of pikemen were finally rushed out by the ironclad cavalry of the Fujian army that could only accommodate one person and one horse, and with the unbelievable cheers of the first ironclad cavalry rushed out, this opening became bigger and bigger.
The tense and fierce confrontation lasted only a few minutes, but the intensity of its tragedy made the backs of everyone on the platform soaked, watching the last ironclad cavalry rush out of the encirclement of the Arab spear phalanx, the Bedouin light cavalry who could not reach it wanted to bite it, but it was too late, the ironclad cavalry who turned the horse's head launched a second charge against the fragile back of the spear phalanx, and Li Jie finally put down the telescope that was covered by him.
The formation was successfully broken, but there was no joy on his face at all, just after a round of impact, the ironclad cavalry who were assassinated in the face of the enemy and the spearmen on both sides were expected to be no less than three thousand, and the entire cavalry charge was shrunk in a circle, even if Su Lie's return attack could kill the same number of Arab pikemen, it was also a loss for Da Min.
Not to mention the precious knights of the Three Rivers, even if the Persian iron cavalry is a little bit lower than the Persian iron cavalry is trained and equipped with a large amount of gold and silver, the cost of an ironclad cavalry is equivalent to fifty sixteen infantrymen and thirty government soldiers, and an Arab pikeman is worth a lot of money.
From the army to the return, it took almost half an hour to mobilize the army, and the real hedge was only a few minutes, and the second impact on Su Dingfang can be regarded as recovering the prestige of some of the Great Min ironclad cavalry, knowing that the terrible Arab pikeman phalanx of the Fujian army did not dare to face the angry ironclad cavalry with its back, and it actually broke up directly, taking advantage of the chaos of the Min army to trample on the blood and bones along the way, until the Arab light cavalry closed again and wanted to surround Su Dingfang, the remnants of the ironclad cavalry retreated unwillingly with hatred.
On the right side of the Great Min, the two armies resumed the battle line at the beginning, and the Arab army, which had already exposed its killer features, simply put the super-long spears into a fan-shaped array, with sharp spears in a range of 190 degrees against the extension, the four corners of the spear phalanx, equipped with flexible light cavalry, bows and arrows in their hands at any time, in order to deal with the Fujian artillery, even Hussein also allocated hundreds of Roman-style torsion trebuchets, and a large number of Greek fire pots were piled aside.
For this Arab defensive array, which could be defended from far and near, tens of thousands of Min cavalry had no way for a while, and had to stalemate there.
The main formation of the Fujian army, the point of the general.
"Your Majesty, the last general is guilty, please punish you!"
There is no longer the demeanor of the children of Guanzhong in the past, after taking off the helmet, the whole hair is scattered, and the face is covered with blood, along the two mustaches that were originally very sexy and very attractive to Datang women, and the wound on the thigh is nothing, even if it is covered by Su Dingfang's right hand, Li Jie can still see that his left arm is holding at an unnatural angle, the bone stubble is faintly visible, and the flesh and blood are blurred, and there is not much flesh and skin connected. Charging in the third row, if he can come back alive, Su Lie is already a green smoke on the ancestral grave.
Tears flowed, and Su Dingfang bowed to the ground in a hoarse voice.
Looking at him with such a miserable appearance, after all, he had followed his old man in the Wuyuan Protectorate back then, and he led his troops to rescue Li Jie when he was besieged in Jinghu City, Li Jie finally shook his head helplessly.
"Get up."
"Let's heal first, and we'll talk about it later."
"Kechen has lost the sharpness of Damin......"
Su Dingfang just raised his head hesitantly, Li Jie's tone immediately became stern, and he scolded angrily: "Then how to lose it and earn it back!" It's not that I haven't been defeated, but I don't have a wreck who can't stand up! ”
Finally kowtowed heavily, with gratitude in his eyes, Su Dingfang didn't say anything and stepped back to the stage, the blood on the broken arm flowed down the red carpet, he also held on, and as soon as he arrived at the stage, he immediately stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and Li Jie, who was watching, shook his head helplessly.
"Order, send the lonely imperial doctor, as well as the messy wound medicine prepared by the queen when she came, to Su Lie."
…………
The Chinese army was firmly suppressed, thousands of elite Bedouin riders held the buffer half a mile wide and forty miles long, and the tens of thousands of assault Fujian troops could not raise their heads, and could only rely on artillery support to suppress the Greek fire attack, and the right-hand army with great hopes was still deadlocked there, and the Fujian army was like a powerful sacred cow, but it was caught by two horns, and the clamp could not move, even if Su Dingfang was not investigated, the ministers and staff on the general platform and Li Jie himself were not very good.
The only one who was happy was probably only Selim Zhuoer, staring at the slightly hooked corners of her mouth under the transparent veil, and the kite showed a murderous gaze.
But at this moment, on the position of the Left Route Army, which had been ignored, there were suddenly bursts of cheers, and tens of thousands of Roman legionary infantry covered in mud cheered and gathered at a slightly higher place, and then a signal flare emitting white smoke was fired high into the air.
Li Jie's cold face finally showed a smile. Countless Fujian commandos hurriedly came out of the trench as if they had scalded their butts, and the Arabs on the opposite side were confused, and a moment later, some distant roars suddenly came from the upper reaches of the Yamouk River, which flowed smoothly, and a white wave rushed towards the two armies in the duel like the hurried cavalry.
Wow~Wow~
