Sweep the World - Chapter 1096

The “Han Army Mighty” was a signal to the Sassanid soldiers that a **** battle was about to break out.

For the soldiers and civilians of Peshawar, it is different. Their instant thought is “Daddy” can be counted.

The Han army yelled the warhorn, and would not yell like itching in the air, but the fart did not happen.

There are Han troops in both directions of the Sassanid camp, including the remnant cavalry unit that Dospals Canaandina sent out and fled back.

Facing the attack by the cavalry of the Han army, Dospals Canaandina had related arrangements for a long time.

The Sassanid camp is covered with thick infantry on all sides, they are relying on fences and different numbers of horses.

The infantry in the front row is either holding a shield or holding a spear. The infantry holding a shield naturally forms a shield formation, while the infantry holding a spear puts the tail of the spear on the ground diagonally.

Behind the dense infantry, about ten meters thick, stood a large number of archers. There would be some gaps between them. If they were squeezed together, there would be no room.

The thickness of the archer is about 30 meters. From the north, it should be an archer with more than 3,000 deployed. Behind them is the crossbowman.

The Sassanian crossbow is imitated from the Han Empire, but the range is much shorter than that of the Han Empire. The farthest range is about 260 meters.

It must be noted that although the Sassanid side imitated the crossbow of the Han Empire, because of the technology, a small winch was omitted. As a result, each rewinding required pure manpower, unlike the crossbowmen of the Han Empire. Can be re-winded easily with a winch.

If the crossbowmen of the Han Empire can shoot about five crossbow arrows a minute, the Sassanian crossbowmen can shoot at most two crossbow arrows a minute.

The imitation is imitated, or an abbreviated version, but the number of crossbowmen on Sassan’s side is not so large. The unit under Dospals Canaandina’s command has only about 800 crossbowmen. And there are only two hundred spare crossbows, and every time one is worn out, it will take a long time to distress.

“Woo… woo… woo…”

The sound of the horn of Mi Miyin was to remind the cavalry who had returned from the defeat to make a detour.

In the collapsed Sassanid cavalry, some of them remained calm, pulling the reins that controlled the mount very obediently, making necessary roundabouts.

The problem is not that all the Sassanian light cavalry who collapsed can remain calm. More Sassanian light cavalry have their faces twisted with trepidation, their eyes are looking at the camp ahead with endless expectation, thinking about it. Hurry in with the fastest speed, it seems that you can only get safety if you enter the camp.

“Boom boom boom…”

The crisp drum sound was struck.

“Woo… woo… woo…”

The sound of the trumpet of the sound of despair blows even longer.

The Sassanid archers got the order, and they opened their bows and let go in the sound of the command. Three thousand arrows were shot out amidst the humming of the dense bowstrings.

The arrows flying in the air were aimed at the Sasanian routs who did not listen to advice and did not detour. Before they fell from the air, the second wave of arrows from the rear was shot out by the archers again.

The Sassanid hussars with a broken mentality are riding horses with the desire to survive. Some people see their own camp shooting arrows, and they immediately let out a desperate howling after one shot or three waves, so scared that they want to control their horses to avoid them.

Although war horses are creatures, they can’t be pulled too hard by the reins of the straddle riders at high speeds. Their heads are pulled to one side, their bodies twisted, and the four hooves are too late to adjust. The result is instantaneous. There was a blunder, and he fell on his back.

Just as the fleeing Sassanid light cavalry smashed or trampled on their backs, the first wave of arrows in the sky fell, and their sharp arrowheads might be shot to the ground and penetrated, or they might be brought up by hitting the flesh. The blood flower contributes nourishment to the earth and takes away fresh life.

Three waves of about nine thousand arrows shot nearly three thousand Sassanian cavalry who had been mentally collapsed. In fact, no more than 800 people fell under the arrow rain, but nearly a thousand people were following. He fell down while slammed and trampled, and there were about one thousand two hundred rushing forward at an even crazier speed.

“Ready to prepare”

“Hold the shield, and let the people stand side by side and back to back, forming the tightest formation!”

“As long as the formation is tight, there will be no problem!”

“Desert, anyone can be executed on the spot!”

The footsteps of horseshoes shook the sky, and most of the Sassanian infantry hiding behind the shield knew this, and only a few Sassanian infantry could look forward through the gap in the shield.

It is impossible for these people to see their own cavalry rushing over without feeling bewildered and surprised. Basically, they are guessing whether those people have surrendered to the enemy and become pioneers in attacking their own barracks.

In fact, that is pretty indifferent. Whether or not those Sassanid cavalry have surrendered to the Han army, they are all working as the front for the Han army.

The first group of Sassanid cavalry that collapsed smashed into it, some hitting the shield formation, some hitting the spear formation.

The Sassanian cavalry who hit the shield formation had long been grim and distorted expressions. When the impact occurred, the horses under the crotch wailed, and the people were pulled to the sky by a force, and then hit the dense On the head of the infantryman.

The crowded infantry just saw something smashed off the top of their heads. They couldn’t move if they wanted to hide. Some of them couldn’t even raise their hands to block them. They could only smash down objects.

Under the background of constant screams and roars, the head cushion of the Sassanian cavalry puppet that was smashed down may not be what happened, but it was the Sassanian infantry that was smashed to the bottom and the neck was twisted to death, or the Sassanian infantry was smashed. All sorts of things.

Under the current situation of crowded people, even if a person is dead, they will still be squeezed to stand, and then move along with the movement of the living.

“Alive, I’m still alive!” A surviving Sasanian cavalry showed an expression of ecstasy. As for how many people he killed and injured, he didn’t care. He was silly: “It’s great to be alive!”

Those Sassanian cavalry who ran into the spear formation were a little bit hard. Although not everyone ran into and was pierced, they were thrown up and fell empty-handed, usually to be pierced by the spear pointed to the sky. Through the body, slid down the rod of the spear sprinkled with blood, or simply hung in the air to become human skewers.

Sassanid cavalry continued to gallop and hit them. As a result, they were set up to defend the line of defense of the Han cavalry. The Han army had not yet come up, but was rushed into a miserable situation.

The Sassanian cavalry who was still alive and yelled just now crawled inward on top of the Sassanian infantry, but he fell and stood on the ground. Before cheering again, there were soldiers in black rushing over. With a flick of the scimitar in his hand, his cheers could not be heard forever.

If you see Sasanian soldiers wearing black clothes on the battlefield, you don’t need to guess that they are the supervising team or the law enforcement team. They have preserved this tradition for thousands of years, even with the change of dynasties.

The Sassanian cavalry who thought he had saved his life was not the only black-clothed supervising team to be beheaded. As long as a soldier dared to turn and run backwards, beyond a drawn line, there must be a black-clothed supervising team chasing. Go up and kill.

Almost after the last defeated Sassanid cavalry rammed into it, the Han army following behind also approached the Sasanian barracks within three hundred meters of the defensive line.

“Woo… woo… woo…”

In the sound of the horns of the sound of despair, the Sassanian crossbowmen, who had never shot an arrow, pulled the trigger and took the lead in shooting arrows, and then the rest of the archers stretched their bows and drew their arrows to shoot.

The cavalry of the Han army who are charging, they are the fastest running group, the number is about two thousand three hundred, all of them are light cavalry.

The light cavalry of the Han army is actually the armored cavalry of other countries, because every Han army knight has at least one set of leather armor on his body. They have a variety of weapons, and they also have a small round shield.

Each of the two thousand or three hundred Han light cavalry in the charging state held a shield against their head diagonally in front of them, but they only managed to protect their upper body in a small part. The lower body, including the hip horse, was It can’t be protected at all.

The crossbow arrows fired by the Sassanian crossbowmen fell first, because there were about 500 Sassanian crossbowmen in the north, so naturally the number of crossbow arrows dropped would not exceed 500.

In such a vast battlefield, especially in the state of cavalry charge, the five hundred crossbow arrows are actually very, very sparse.

Lin Wen could not hear the clash of the crossbow arrows and the small round shield, but the hand holding the shield could feel it being shot. One of the crossbow arrows penetrated the surface of the shield and cut his own wrist. The thing he worries the most has not happened. Although the thigh hurts when an arrow is hit, the horse at least doesn’t have an arrow in his head, otherwise it would be bad.

About five hundred Sassanian crossbowmen shot a wave of arrows, and the result was probably that 13 Han troops were in a galloping state, and then they tripped over the 20 or so Han cavalry who were galloping up at high speed. That’s it.

The Sassanid archers of about 3,000 did not shoot their arrows until the Han army approached about one hundred and sixty meters. Their range is 100 meters long, but the Han cavalry is galloping at high speed, advancing about 13 meters per second, and the arrows shot out will fly in the sky for a while. At that time, the Han military The cavalry will enter the arrow range by itself when moving at high speed.

In general, the archer’s rate of fire is faster than that of the crossbowman. The archer shoots about three rounds before the crossbowman can shoot the second one.

Sassanian archers do not like to use bamboo bows and arrows like Ah San, they are more normal bows and arrow shafts.

Normal bows and arrow shafts are much more threatening than bamboo bows and bamboo arrows. At least it will not happen that the shot arrows become too soft and fluttering when they reach a certain distance, and they will still have enough lethality.

One hundred and twenty meters is a matter of six or seven seconds for a cavalry galloping at full speed. Elite archers can shoot about three arrows in such a short period of time, but many archers only have time to shoot one.

About two thousand and three hundred Han light cavalry, about one hundred and forty and fifty horses fell on the charge road, but it seemed very normal.

About 500 of them rammed into the formation of Sassanid infantry in a state of invincibility, but they did not blindly rush, they chose the position that was hit by the Sassanian crashed light cavalry as much as possible. When hitting, there was no movement of swinging the weapon at all. On the contrary, he tried his best to adjust his posture at the moment when the collision was about to occur, so that the body that was thrown out due to the collision would not be too miserable.

The remaining 1,600 light cavalry of the Han army, they approached the Sassanid defensive formation for about 60 meters and then began to make a roundabout. In the process of moving, they stopped shooting arrows at the Sassanid formation.

There is a professional term for their actions, which is called Runshe, but professionals prefer to call it “Langshe”.

To put it bluntly, it is not to make collisions as the main goal. It is to use your own speed to kill one wave or several times under the premise that the enemy can’t even react. You can choose to evacuate afterwards, and you can continue to surround the enemy. The army made constant archery moves.

There will be about five hundred Han light cavalry crashing into it. This is an inevitable move in the military. It is nothing more than trying to use impact to disintegrate the Sassanian formation. It would be even better if the formation of the Sassanian soldiers collapsed.

As the first batch of Han light cavalry entered the battlefield, the cavalry at the rear was also fast approaching.

Dospals Canaandina was standing on a device similar to Zhuxia’s nest cart. There was no expression on his face, but his cheeks were shaking slightly: “Too…too decisive! “

The Han army fought a wave first, it was impossible to be without battle damage, and the long-distance attack was easy to hunt down, how could it consume the physical strength of people and horses?

Dospals Canaandina originally thought that the Han army would at least stop and rest before launching an offensive. It was not that the Han army would attack immediately, but it was really unexpected that all the large groups would enter the attack. sequence.

“How is the second line of defense organized?”

“Back to General. Already trying to speed up!”

When Sassan came, there were more than 70,000 people~www.mtlnovel.com~ No matter how small the campsite was, it was not that the front collapsed and there was no space to stand, and there was a vast campsite behind.

Dospars Canaandina raised his binoculars and looked towards the battlefield. He seemed to shake his hands when he saw something, and almost didn’t let the binoculars fall off.

On the battlefield, the roar of horseshoes is the main melody.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a brigade of cavalry wearing iron armor and vests on the front of the horses appeared, just like that.

Of course they belonged to the Han army, and they were considered assault cavalry in terms of arms.

Dospals Canaandina just saw the turbulent cavalry of the Han army, and the north and west sides protruded from the smoke at the same time. Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help his heart pumping.

The Han Empire counted the cavalry dressed like that as a sudden cavalry, and the Sassanian side was counted as a heavy cavalry in uniform.

“Can you hold it?” Dospars Canaandina looked at his first line, and wanted to deceive himself but couldn’t do it: “Can’t hold it!” Sogou
