Sweep the World - Chapter 1097
In the face of a large swath of cavalry galloping towards you at high speed, how much courage does it take to have no fluctuations in your heart?
Most people are on the battlefield. When facing a large group of enemy cavalry, they actually have weak legs, even their crotches are already wet. It is not that they don’t want to escape, but their legs are weak and weak. People are trapped, and there is the shock of military law, or ten out of seven or eight, in fact, they don’t want to be desperate, they want to turn around and escape. x.
The Sassanian infantry on the outskirts of the front endured a round of collision from their own routs, and then faced a close assault from the Han cavalry. They were also shot several times. In fact, everyone’s heart collapsed. state.
The composition of the front is often to keep soldiers with a collapsed mentality in fighting.
In a crowded state, the soldiers in the front collapsed, but the soldiers at the rear did not know what was going on in the front, so that the people in the front wanted to retreat, the people behind wanted to go up, and the unidentified soldiers collapsed. The soldier stuck in place.
The current situation is that the Sassanian infantry who were squeezed in the front row wanted to retreat but couldn’t retreat. They obviously didn’t want to fight anymore, but they still had to watch the Han army’s cavalry gallop and approach at high speed.
The Sassanid soldiers in front were scared to death, and there was no act of blocking the advance of the Han cavalry at all. It could even be said that the Han army was approaching from behind, just trying to grab a way out of the friendly army.
The Sassanian infantry behind the unknown situation, they are squeezing and moving side by side.
Those Sassanian bowmen and crossbowmen continue to shoot arrows according to the command. They will not know what the results of the arrows they shoot are. Some just repeatedly listen to the military orders and shoot repeatedly. In many cases, they even shoot at what angle they should shoot. Randomly.
There were Han assault cavalry in both directions constantly approaching the Sassanian front, and after charging within the range of the Sassanian bow and crossbowmen, they did not actually lift their shields. They were holding spears and galloping along with the horses. But ups and downs, let the arrow shoot on his body.
The armors of the Han Tussauds were not afraid of arrows, especially those of the Sassanid arrow type. They are plate armor, but some characteristics of the scale armor are still left. In addition to the armor that can be seen on the outside, there is also a layer of chain mail and layers of silk underwear on the inside.
In this way, even if the plate armor does not block the arrow, the chain mail will jam the pierced arrowhead, and the silk clothes on the body will “pull” the arrowhead. In fact, it will only suffer a little skin injury, unless it is Hit the eye, or even if you have dozens of arrows stuck in your body, you can continue to fight without causing a lot of bloodshed.
The first batch of Han army cavalry assaulted, and in an instant they dented the Sassanid infantry front in a large area, but the Han army cavalry who were just carrying on the collision basically fell into it.
At the moment of the collision, the Han Tussauds were thrown into the air, and when they fell, it was inevitable that they would smash the Sassanian soldiers to the bottom.
If they were able to react, the person would still be held back and withdraw the war knife from his waist, slashing at whom to see below.
If it is stabbed by a sharp weapon after being thrown out, basically the iron plate will withstand it, but the person will fall into a tumbling state, and it will take more time to react.
Of course, the Han Tussauds did not collide in several echelons, but one column at a time. After the collision of the previous batch was completed, the next batch would collide again with an interval of more than ten seconds.
Under repeated collisions, the infantry line formed by Sassanid had disintegrated in less than three times.
Before the front infantry line collapsed, the Sassanian crossbowmen in the rear had been ordered to turn around and retreat, but they were usually overtaken by the Han Tussauds who had completed the penetration, and being caught would be tantamount to death.
After the Han Tussauds completed the penetration, the rest of the cavalry continued to rush into the Sassanid camp from the rear.
From the arrival of the Han army to the completion of the breakthrough of the first Sassanid line, it was only less than 20 minutes in the past. This result was taken for granted by the Han army, and Sassan did not feel so surprised.
What happened to Sassan’s side was that his side was able to sustain at least three waves of assaults, not causing a breakdown in the first assault.
The collision on the north was the first to happen, followed by the west.
The breakthrough in the north was completed first, and the west was about five minutes late. At this time, the Han cavalry who attacked the Sassanid east front had just launched an assault.
Naturally, the Han army arriving on the battlefield will not be more numerous than the Sassanian army. It is just that the Han army as the offensive side has the initiative, especially the Sassanian does not have cavalry cruising around.
Dospals Canaandina sent out the high-speed mobile units under his command in order to be able to slow the advance of the Han army. Even if he wants to come, even if he is defeated, he is also a high-speed mobile unit. It is possible that the entire army will only be annihilated by the chariot soldiers, and there is no problem with the cavalry leaving the battlefield.
In fact, if the cavalry sees the opportunity quickly, it is indeed difficult to be entangled, but that is the prerequisite for not fighting. Once they are really entangled with each other, they will all be cavalry.
The correct decision was met with the unresponsiveness of the frontline commander, and the mobile force sent by Dospals Canaandina was almost indistinguishable from the annihilation of the entire army.
Dospars Canaandina, who stood on a high altitude and looked at the battlefield, had cold sweat on his forehead.
The first line played a role in blocking the Han army, but in fact it only blocked it a little bit, buying a little more time for the rear organization and perfecting the defensive line.
The Han cavalry who rushed into the Sassanid camp, the assault cavalry were straightly approaching the second line of defense organized by the Persians. In the course of their actions, they rushed and tents turned upside down and shattered, and the place they passed was a mess.
While charging, the Han Tussauds once again completed the echelon stratification, wave-like collision tactics, and soon collided with the second line organized by the Sassanid army.
At the same time, the light cavalry and archers of the Han army were avoiding the charging route of their own assault cavalry, and they were shooting in groups or scattered on the Sassanian second line.
The Sassanids who were on the first defensive line just now, after the line collapsed, almost no Persians were able to successfully escape back to the rear. Even if they were not dead, they were on the periphery full of Han cavalry activities. In the camp, many people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, before being hit by the galloping Han army horses and then trampled on them.
Thousands of people became a corpse on the battlefield almost in the blink of an eye. They were seen in the eyes of the Sassanid soldiers who were organizing the second line of defense.
As a result, the soldiers on the Sassanid second line of defense couldn’t help but retreat, and there were arrows that were constantly being shot past, and the line of defense was distorted and chaotic to a certain extent.
Dospars Canaandina opened his eyes and watched the Han Tussauds hit his second line of defense, and saw that only the first batch of Hans Tussauds hit the defense line. One The heart sinks completely.
Breakthrough? Dospars Canaandina did not think about it. How much he is a general, how could he not know that any breakout after losing his mobile power is a delusion, it is better to just soften his knees and kneel on the ground to pray that the enemy can be kind and benevolent.
What Dospals Canaandina now needs to think about is whether he should struggle desperately once the situation is irreversible, or pull the weapon across his neck.
“Surrender?” Dospals Canaandina just watched his second line of defense be torn and broken. People need to hold on to the fence to prevent it from falling down: “surrender to the Han… It would be great…”
The Sassanian generals who led the expedition, and their immediate family members were basically in Taixifeng, and they were properly taken care of by the Aldashir royal family.
The previous Sassanian general who surrendered to the Han Empire, no one knows whether he died or not. Anyway, none of his family members in Tai Xifeng survived.
The second line of defense collapsed under the help of the cavalry of the Han cavalry, and was once again caught in various collisions and tramplings of horseshoes by the cavalry of the follow-up Han cavalry.
Dospars Canaandina’s cheeks twitched constantly, he no longer expected the third line of defense to have any effect, he could only guess how long the camp would be completely disrupted by the Han army.
From the general situation, after two consecutive lines of defense were broken by the Han army, the Sassanian camp was already in inevitable chaos.
There were people running around in the whole camp, and there were fratricide in some parts, and no matter from which aspect, this Sassanian army was already in a state of collapse.
After breaking through two lines of defense in a row, the Han army’s cavalry had actually lost the ability to hit the third line of defense again.
It’s not that this batch of Han army cavalry can’t fight anymore. It’s that the horses under the hips accelerate twice in a row and then collide. The physical strength is consumed too much. Once the cavalry loses speed, it would be very stupid to carry on the collision. Things.
The subsequent assault cavalry had not yet come up, and the light cavalry who discovered this situation instantly made a decision.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!”
The sound of the strong horn was blown, and the first group of Han light cavalry gave up cleaning up the battlefield. They slowly gathered together, moving forward and slowly formed a cavalry collision formation.
The horses were exhausted and they had difficulty changing their mounts during the war. They took over the task of clearing the remaining enemy troops from the light cavalry.
The Sasanian soldiers on the third line of defense, they saw the Han army appear in front of them so quickly, they were actually in a daze.
According to the thoughts of these Sasanian soldiers, there are at least five or six thousand friendly troops in front of them. No matter what, they should be blocked for more than an hour, right? But in less than fifteen minutes, the Han army actually came up!
“Flee!”
“I don’t want to die…”
“Escape, escape…”
The Han light cavalry who were charging at a faster speed showed an expression of ecstasy for an instant. They had already rushed forward with a life-and-death determination, but the next moment they saw the enemy in front of them collapse on their own.
Even the assault cavalry rushed into the formation, in fact, it also carried a great risk, especially the first batch of knights to rush into the battle, it was almost a matter of nine deaths, using his own lives to make a winning start for the subsequent friendly forces.
The light cavalry went to slam into the tight formation of the infantry? If the Tussauds are nine dead, then the light cavalry is ten dead without life.
Under normal circumstances, the light cavalry charged at the enemy’s dense infantry, in fact, they were more intimidating than really wanting to collide. If the enemy’s infantry can be frightened to collapse and disperse the formation, it will really kill; if the enemy’s infantry still maintains a close formation, at most they will shoot a round of arrows at most, and they should withdraw from the side in a desperate manner. .
The current situation is that the north side of Sassan’s camp collapsed first, and then the collapse on this side affected other parts, resulting in the formation of the effect of the rout.
“For Han slaves and maidservants, surrender and not kill!”
“Stubbornly resist, punish you!”
Can the Persians understand Chinese? In fact, they don’t understand.
However, some Sassanian soldiers saw the Han army let go of those who were kneeling and surrendered, chasing and killing those who resisted, and driving away those who fled. They knew how to survive without going offline.
The Sassanid soldiers who didn’t want to die were doing the same. After they discovered that the Han army hadn’t killed themselves, they first breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to cry.
“It’s too miserable, it’s really too miserable!”
“If we didn’t hold on for a day, why did we fight the Han Chinese?”
“Who is going to go to war with the Han…”
What’s the point of talking about this now? Is it to be sure that the Han people are as capable of fighting as the rumors, and it is only natural that they are defeated?
Dospals Canaandina saw the collapse of the third line of defense, and the soldiers on the front line surrendered in batches. How could he not know that the situation is over.
“This general…” Dospals Canaandina now relaxes instead: “If you want to fight with the Han forces and die, who wants to follow?”
Several people continued to speak, all willing to die in honor.
After getting off the ground, Dospals Canaandina glanced at the assembled undead army, and walked towards the front line.
Almost when Sassanid soldiers began to surrender in large numbers, Li Tan appeared on the battlefield.
“How is the situation in Peshawar?” Li Tan looked in the direction of Peshawar: “Look at the smoke coverage… the fire is very powerful!”
Nowadays, no matter which country or ethnicity it is ~www.mtlnovel.com~, wood is absolutely indispensable to build a house. Once a fire occurs and the house is spread, it is really not so easy to put out the fire.
Li Tan didn’t have much intuitive impression of Peshawar. Before he set off, he read the information sent back by Ma Bin. In Ma Bin’s description, Peshawar is a chaotic city.
Regarding the fierce battle outside the city, Ji Duoruo did not even come out to help. Li Tan had two decisions.
If Peshawar were miserable, Li Tan would naturally not ask for more.
If Peshawar had the ability and did not come out, Li Tan would not have any kindness next.
“General Lang, the enemy general is requesting a battle for the division.”
“To the teacher?”
Li Tan felt that Sassan’s general was mentally ill, facing the outcome of a big defeat, and demanding a heads-up?
“Ben Lang will not want to wait any longer.”
“promise!”
