Sweep the World

After two days of exposure, the soil on the ground has recovered its hardness, but it will not become muddy after a little trampling, and it will still become soft after repeated trampling.

One after another horseshoes stepped heavily on them. When the horses hoofs stepped up, a piece of mud was turned up, and the ground was also left with a horseshoe pit mark of about five or six centimeters.

Habibullah observes the two Han light cavalry on the left and right wings. They are far apart. Then there is a cloud of smoke and dust from the cavalry galloping. In fact, I don’t really see how many people there are and what equipment they are. Cavalry.

The Sassanian army met face-to-face with the Han army without knowing it. Fortunately, the terrain on this side is flat. The two sides saw each other far away. If the terrain is complicated, it should be the next moment when they see each other. It's time to fight.

"Let the cavalry go out!" Habibullah is not so sure whether this Han army is equipped with firearms, and does not have much confidence in the organization of frontal defenses: "The troops in the rear are better to pull away!"

No matter how much Habibullah is a high-level person, he has never seen firearms showing off his powers with his own eyes, but he knows from some channels how to face the Han army with firearms.

In short, when fighting with the firearms of the Han army, it is absolutely impossible to put up a dense formation, or it is to give away the artillery of the Han army.

Then again, once you start a charge, don't have any hesitation, you must use the fastest speed to rush up and mix with the Han soldiers.

The current Sassanian army is not in an offensive position. Because of the mixed infantry and cavalry, they discovered that the coming Han army are all cavalry. According to the traditional choice, they stopped to rectify and arranged the necessary defensive front formation. .

The area occupied by a foot ride of about 50,000 is actually not small, and the space occupied by it is constantly increasing.

This area is absolutely flat terrain, there is no **** of slope, there is no dense vegetation, there are not even a few trees, and the ground is gray-yellow at first glance.

About 6,000 Sassanian cavalry were attacked under the order of Habibra. Not long after they left the formation, they were divided into two columns, one with about 4,000 cavalry, and the other with about 2,000 cavalry. Toward the Han cavalry who assaulted from the left and right wings.

On the battlefield, the drum horns have been constantly sounding now.

The main war instrument of the Persians is a trombone horn, which sounds like a low voice like an elephant. They have used this musical instrument for more than a thousand years, and their opponents have been very uncomfortable with this kind of war horn. The Romans gave it a soft and soft evaluation.

Now, when the Han army listens to the trombone from the Sassanid army, the evaluation that countless people have in their minds is the "sound of depravity".

Sassan has more than one war instrument, they actually have war drums. It is a flattened drum, which sounds crisp when it is beaten, and is as strong as it is without a war instrument.

Every country will have its own war instrument. Taking the Han army as an example, it uses horns and war drums, and the sound will sound relatively strong.

What the Han people knew was that the Roman war instrument was mainly a copper trumpet, and the sound wave won't be too long. It was probably a kind of "toot" rhythm.

The Habayashi Army did not carry a war drum, but a horn-shaped horn was carried by the trumpeter.

The Han army’s war instruments, when carrying war drums, will continue to be sounded after the start of the war, and the horns will only be sounded when the military order is conveyed.

On the current battlefield, all the sounds of war instruments are from the Persians, making the Han military officers wonder what the situation is like when the Persians continue to use war instruments to make movement and wait to use war instruments to convey military orders. .

On the battlefield, the sound of war drums and trombone was endless, the sound of horseshoe stomping was also continuous, and the Sassanid infantry began to shout constantly.

"What are they shouting?" Li Jun asked a translation that understood Persian: "Why do you hear the syllables so fixed?"

The interpreter listened for a while and replied: "It's the name of the killing and some gods."

"This world shouldn't have languages ​​other than Chinese!" Li Jun showed a disgusting expression: "It sounds weird!"

What can be done with the translation can only be agreed with nodding.

Of the Han cavalry attacking from the left and right wings, one of them was about to come into contact with the two thousand Sassanian cavalry.

Another cavalry of the Han army on the right wing was making a roundabout with a relatively large curve, bringing the four thousand or so Sassanian cavalry around in circles.

The cavalry of the Han army gathered a long line in the movement and slowly became three cavalry teams. Each cavalry team was two cavalry side by side. Behind them were robe knights who were also driving side by side.

From a bird's eye view from high above, you will see that the Han cavalry has stretched three long lines. The lines are not absolutely straight. On the contrary, they are twisted like snakes, constantly changing their shape under the leadership of the knight in front.

Using Zhu Xia's war formation to explain, the three Han cavalry squads were all arranging long snake formations. This cavalry formation is not used for charging purposes, mainly to pull the enemy's formation, and at the same time use long-range weapons to attack after entering the range.

Every knight of the Han army will keep a safe distance of more than three meters from the robe, making the formation look elongated.

The light cavalry of the Han army, their main equipment is a riding spear, a curved cavalry sword, a riding crossbow and a riding bow. Because it is a light cavalry, the horse does not have any defensive armor, but it is actually wearing a light cavalry style leather armor.

The so-called cavalry style armor is a type with skirt armor, the length of the skirt armor covers the thighs.

Leather armor is basically not very effective for defensive melee weapons, and the defense against long-range metal arrowheads is not high, unless it is against arrows that use bones or stone arrowheads, otherwise it is actually to prevent scratches. A kind of psychological comfort.

"shoot!"

Soldiers from different languages ​​and different camps uttered loud shouts at almost the same time.

The cavalry of the Han army did not use crossbows. The knights who entered the range of shooting were armed with bows and arrows.

On the side of the Sassanian army, professional archers use a long bow, while ordinary cavalry uses a horn bow.

The bows used by the Han army and the Persian archers looked very similar in appearance. The length of the bows was longer than that of ordinary bows, and the arrow shafts used were slightly longer.

The sound of bowstrings is not obvious in the thunder of horseshoes. The shot arrows fly in mid-air. When they fall, only a few of them hit knights and horses. Once people are shot, they basically hit half of them. The arrow shaft passed through, and the horse would blunder and fall to the ground if it was shot.

This Han army cavalry is a long-snake formation. While firing at each other, the overall formation not only bends greatly, but also divides into more long formations.

The Sassanian cavalry who was fighting against this Han army unknowingly followed the movement of the Han army cavalry, and they divided their troops separately.

The two sides kept shooting at each other during the movement, and the knights shot down the arrows all the time, or else the horses shot out of control.

The cavalry of the Han cavalry had already formed a formation waiting for the Sassanid cavalry to "hit" by themselves. They were shooting arrows, but at the same time, more cavalry of the Han cavalry shot arrows.

In this way, every time a knight falls on the Han side, at least three knights on the Sassan side will fall. Waiting for the formations of both sides to be broken during a sports battle. The Han cavalry will be broken for two days. At least there are more than 1,900, but Sassan’s 2,000 cavalry is only left with less than 1,700.

The two cavalry units that were formally engaged in battle, after there was no longer any formation between each other, the development of the warfare slowly turned into a battle between a team and a team, or a fight between single riders.

After the battle situation changed, the equipment advantage of the cavalry of the Han army was maximized. For example, during the recovery period, the crossbow could be picked up and aimed and fired without much effort. Shoot down the horse.

The two knights of the enemy and us who are in the hedge. The Han cavalry has a six-meter-long cavalry spear, and the Sassanid cavalry is mostly a short weapon such as a scimitar. The scimitar of the Shan cavalry was a few meters away from the Han cavalry, but it was stabbed by the spear of the Han cavalry.

At the beginning, the two cavalry groups were about two thousand cavalry. The time they went from entering a fighting state to a squad melee was only about five minutes in the past.

As the commander-in-chief of Li Jun, he will only pay attention to the troops entering the fighting state in the front, and will put more thoughts on the overall mobilization.

"Sure enough, the Han people are more than just using firearms." Habibullah pays more attention to the fighting after the war: "We lose about three soldiers before we can destroy a Han army!"

The Persians still have a deep understanding of the strength of the Han people. They really didn't regard the Han people as a vegetable chicken. On the contrary, they paid more attention and fear than the Romans.

In the following, the purely Han firearms were too eye-catching, which made the firearms more fearful of the Persians. In a way, it ignored the strength of the Han army in addition to the powerful firearms.

"Your Excellency Governor!" Sha Zhan is a Persian general who has been following the headquarters of the Han army: "They are moving!"

Habibullah shifted his sight and saw that the headquarters of the Han army was approaching at a slow speed.

"We haven't found this Han army carrying firearms for the time being." Sha Zhan was still quite excited by this discovery: "If they don't have firearms, should we be bolder?"

Not counting the previous battle in which the Persians and many allies entered the territory of the Hunite state, they were actually the first Sassanian army to fight the Han army in their own country.

As the first group of Sassanid army commanders to fight the Han army, Habibullah’s psychological pressure was beyond imagination. It is precisely because the pressure is too great that he tends to be more conservative when making choices. It is necessary to divide the troops to attack the Kingdom of Gidoror, and it is a strategic consideration to lead the army to suppress it.

Just now, Habibullah was thinking of pulling away a cavalry from his own formation to save his own cavalry that seemed destined to be defeated. Before making a decision, the headquarters of the Han army was pressed in.

When the headquarters of the Han army pressed in, the cavalry of the Han army on the right wing, which had been in a cruising state, had turned into a front-line formation and launched a charge against the four thousand sassanian cavalry in front.

Li Jun will let his headquarters move forward, supporting his own cavalry on the left and right wings. One of them is to ensure the victory of the left wing, and the other is to put more psychological pressure on the enemy commander.

In the battle between the army and the army, the victory or defeat mainly depends on the commander's grasp of the battlefield. Usually, it is dispatching to give your own troops that have entered a state of warfare more opportunities to obtain results.

In a general sense, avoiding a certain part being at a disadvantage and ensuring the expansion of the advantageous part is the most basic quality of a general.

What Li Jun is doing is to ensure the expansion of local superiority and will make the next choice based on the state of the enemy.

"Cavalry..." Habibullah gritted his teeth and shouted: "The cavalry all leave the formation, don't need to think more, and rush directly to the enemy you can see!"

Habibullah was awakened by Sha Zhan's reminder. They had ten times more numbers than the Han army. Being too cautious was not only damaging the morale of their own soldiers, but also giving the enemy a chance to eliminate them one by one.

Li Jun, who was heading his head forward, heard the enemy’s main battle drums and horns change the rhythm, and then watched the enemy’s main battle hula rushing out of the cavalry. The infantry forming the front line was also moving, and he whispered secretly. Order: "Order the left and right wings to leave the battlefield, and the headquarters to turn north!"

The situation that Li Jun wants to see the last time still appears~www.wuxiamtl.com~ What he hopes is that the enemy is sufficiently jealous of him, and every time he only sends a suitable number to fight, if the enemy launches an entire army regardless of it, They are covered with iron and can hit a few nails, but they can only choose to keep away.

"Hahaha!" Habibullah pointed at the retreating Han army and laughed: "The Han people are also afraid!"

The withdrawal of the Han army caused the Sassanid soldiers to cheer. It seemed that they found that the Hans were not invincible. The small heart finally didn't need to beat so fast, and the hands and feet didn't need to tremble again. For a while, the courage returned.

"You don't need to evacuate too fast!" Li Jun heard the Persian cheers, and responded with a sneer: "Let them chase!"

The Han army is full of cavalry, but the Sassanian army is mixed with infantry and cavalry. Li Jun is very willing to see the Persians chasing happily.

Before Li Jun was depressed that the enemy was calm enough, if the enemy really kept the formation, the Han army, which was full of cavalry, would not be stupid to attack.

Now, the Sassanid army started to move on its own. It was detached on foot in the chase, and the army was getting more and more scattered...
