Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Of course, such a good opportunity can't be wasted, so we must attack immediately. Brother Meng Qi is willing to take on this task. It's great."
Zhang Liao frowned, and when he opened his mouth to try to persuade Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu continued, "However, Brother Meng Qi, you must be prepared to lose your troops and generals in this pursuit."
Ma Chao, who was excitedly about to lead his troops to fight out, was taken aback when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Commander, what do you mean by this?"
Zhou Yu sneered and said, "The Sassanids obviously set a trap for us. They must have ambushes on the way to retreat. But we still have to be fooled on purpose. That's why they think we dare not The second pursuit comes up, but we have to launch a second wave of pursuit immediately, and kill them by surprise when they are only on the march and are negligent. Only in this way can we achieve the best results."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu paused, turned his face to look at Ma Chao and said, "However, it is very dangerous to take on the role of ambush. Besides, as a general, you must minimize your own losses and convince the enemy that it will cause harm to you. Therefore, this burden is not light. Brother Meng Qi, please think twice before leaving, I can transfer other troops to take on this task."
Hearing this, Ma Chao became displeased and said, "Brother Gongjin, what are you talking about. You are the commander in chief, and your military orders are like mountains. You can't help your subordinates to pick and choose. Ma is willing to take on this important task. Rest assured, the commander, Ma will be able to convince the enemy that we have fallen for their tricks!"
After all, he whipped his horse and led the army under his command to rush westward...
Chapter 877 Pursuit
Ma Chao led the army under his command to catch up with the Sasanian army brigade who was walking at the rear in less than half an hour.However, Ma Chao's troops had already separated back and forth. He and the cavalry troop ran at the forefront, leaving behind the infantry battalion without a trace, while the chariot troop was deliberately pressed by him at the end.
The "tail" of the Sasanian army is full of old and weak soldiers. Seeing the Liang army's iron cavalry attacking, they rushed to escape.Ma Chao took the lead and charged forward, killing an old Sasanian soldier with his silver spear.The Liang army cavalry behind him also scrambled to greet the Sasanian infantry with their lances, maces, and sabers.
In a short time, the scene was full of corpses, ghosts crying and wolves howling.The Sasanian infantry knelt down and begged to surrender, but Liang Jun didn't have the energy and conditions to surrender them.He rode his horse directly and galloped past them, and immediately there were bloody stumps and broken arms all over the place.
In fact, these Sasanian soldiers had been instructed by their generals long ago, and when they were pursued by the Liang army, they surrendered if they could not escape.Then he tried his best to distract Liang Jun's energy, and when Liang Jun was attacked, he tried his best to launch a riot and seize weapons to fight back.Who knows, now Liang Jun is not fooled at all, even if he kneels down and begs for surrender, he will still be killed.
Seeing this, these Sasanian soldiers could only run around scrambling to be the first.Liang Jun's war cavalry continued to pursue, but they always pursued in the direction where the Sasanian army was retreating, ignoring the defeated soldiers who scattered in other directions.
After chasing for a quarter of an hour, Ma Chao found that the Sasanian army that had been attacked just now had been completely defeated, and there was no Sassanian infantry in front of him, but a Sasanian cavalry instead.Instead of fleeing like the previous pawns, they came forward and fought with Liang Jun.
Most of these Sasanian war cavalry are light cavalry, while most of Ma Chao's are heavy cavalry.The two sides fought for less than half an hour, and the Sasanian soldiers were defeated by the opponent's lances and maces. After leaving hundreds of corpses, they continued to flee to the southwest.And the southwest is the direction in which the Sasanian army retreats and marches.
Ma Chao's face was solemn, and he glanced at the terrain in front of him, knowing that if he stepped forward, he should enter the pocket of the Sasanian army.He pointed his silver gun forward and recited a sentence from Huo Qubing, a general of the Han Dynasty: "Outside the city of Juyan, hunting Tianjiao, the white grass is burning all over the sky. When the clouds are empty, the horses are driven, and the autumn plain is good for shooting eagles. My sons, There is a tiger's den and a dragon's pool ahead, anyone who is not afraid of death can follow me. Those who are afraid of death and miss the family can stay."
The generals under his command didn't know that the Sassanid army had set up an ambush ahead, and even if they knew, they would not be willing to be called greedy for life and afraid of death.In the Liang army, fearing the enemy before the battle is the most shameful thing.So naturally, all the soldiers shouted together: "We are willing to kill Hu Di with the general!"
Then, Liang Junzhan galloped towards the area where the defeated army had rushed into.Although this area is not a canyon basin, it is a depression with high surroundings and low middle, with a radius of three or four hundred squares.
But it is not the rainy season, and there is no water in the depression.Ardashir and the generals were hiding on a mound next to the depression, waiting for the prey to enter the trap.After bursts of dust, they saw Liang Jun's horses and banners looming in the yellow dust.Ardashir was overjoyed, and raised his hand to let the soldiers blow their horns to attack.
But Sulehar stopped from the side: "Your Majesty, we should wait a little longer. You see, their pawns haven't been pocketed yet. I think they are eager to pursue and leave the pawns behind. Let's attack now." , Their pawns will run away when they see that the situation is not right."
Ardashir nodded, but then asked back: "But we will attack later, the cavalry in front will run out of our ambush circle."
"Then His Majesty can let those cavalry resist them for a while."
……
When Ma Chao led the crowd to chase Huan, the Sasanian warrior who was fleeing in front came back again.Ma Chao naturally understood the other party's intentions, and with a sneer, he ordered all the soldiers to go forward.Two Sassanid warriors were coming towards him, one with a spear and the other with a scimitar.
The gunman had already stabbed his lance towards Ma Chao's left rib, and the knife-wielding man also charged his horse towards Ma Chao's right flank.Ma Chao didn't pay any attention to the cavalry spear stabbing from the left, and pointed the silver spear in his hand straight at the saber hand.
The Sasanian rider who wielded the saber did not expect that Ma Chao would abandon his left wing to attack and kill him. Caught off guard, he was shot through the chest.Then his whole body was lifted from the saddle, and he drew a horizontal arc in the air before hitting the gun bar of the Sasanian rider who was wielding the gun.
There was a slight muffled bang, and the lance that was piercing Ma Chao's left rib was knocked away.Taking advantage of the situation, Ma Chao galloped up two steps and came in front of the Sassanid rider.At such a close distance, the long spear in the hands of the Sasanian cavalry has become useless. He hastily threw away the lance and went to touch the knife.However, Ma Chao pinched his neck with his left hand and lifted him from the saddle. There was a crisp sound. The man's Adam's apple had been pinched to pieces. The iron cavalry that was rushing past was trampled to pieces.
In the second battle, these Sasanian cavalry were of course still no match for Liang Jun's iron cavalry, and they lost nearly half of them in a short time.They are teetering and on the verge of collapse.If they are defeated this time, they are really defeated.Ardashir, who was watching secretly, saw that he didn't like it, so he hurriedly asked the soldiers to transfer the troops again, saying: "Let the camel and heavy cavalry go up, I don't believe that they can't be destroyed."
Sulehar persuaded again: "Your Majesty, it is not yet possible to use camels to reload iron cavalry. We have out of camel heavy cavalry. If they are defeated, they will retreat. But if the Liang army's rear army has not come in at that time, we can only Surrounding and annihilating them in advance, the result of this battle is too small."
Ardasil could listen to Sulehar's opinion, nodded and said to the soldiers: "Then dispatch a few more heavy cavalry from the Centuries. It is enough for them to persist in fighting Liang Jun for a period of time. They don't need to win."
For more than half an hour, Ma Chao and all the Liang army war cavalry felt that the enemy soldiers were killing more and more in the fierce battle, and the proportion of heavy cavalry among the enemy war cavalry was also increasing.
At this time, Ma Chao was covered in blood. Of course, these were the blood of the enemy, but he also felt waves of fatigue.Even Ma Chao is like this, not to mention those Liang Jun war cavalry under his command.Although Liang Jun still has the upper hand at this time, if this continues, he will lose sooner or later.Ardashir, who was peeping here from a distance, was also anxious. He was worried about the continuous loss of his soldiers and horses.
The two spears stabbed at Ma Chao again at the same time. After Ma Chao raised his hand and stabbed one person, when he stabbed the second spear, it was probably half a beat too late due to excessive energy consumption.Seeing that the opponent's spear is piercing Ma Chao's body...
Chapter 378 Breakthrough
The blade of the lance fell when it was two feet away from Ma Chao's head, but under the action of inertia, the point of the spear still scratched Ma Chao's breastplate, sparking a stream of sparks.
Ma Chao was also covered in cold sweat at this time. He looked intently at the opponent's body, only to find that there was a three-foot-long arrow on the opponent's head.He suddenly understood in his heart that his pawns had finally caught up.
Ardahill and Ma Chao were also delighted, and it was also because Liang Jun's pawns had finally arrived.In the distance, Liang Jun's infantry marched into the vast depression, and they even brought a baggage cart.The cart was loaded with ballistas and explosive slingshots.
Ardasil waved his hand and said: "Order the ambushing soldiers to launch an attack, and they must be wiped out in a short time!" The commanding soldier beside him immediately took out a horn and whistled in a unique rhythm When he got up, horns sounded in the distance to answer him one after another.Then came the rumble of the Sasanian war drums, and the shouts from the mounds and highlands around the depression.The Sasanian ambushes rushed out of their hiding places in unison.
Ardasil's original intention was to deter Liang's pursuit by encircling and annihilating the vanguard of the Liang army's pursuing troops. He did not expect to completely annihilate Zhou Yu's [-] Liang army through this ambush.
If he really tried to use 20 troops to wipe out all the Liang troops, it would be impossible for him to deploy so many troops in a short period of time.More importantly, it is almost impossible for a deployment of this scale to prevent Liang Jun's scouts from discovering it in advance.Therefore, only [-] Sasanian soldiers participated in this encirclement and annihilation operation.However, the [-] soldiers and horses are more than five times the number of troops under Ma Chao's command, which is enough to wipe out the vanguard of Liang Jun.
When the Sasanian army appeared on the horizon in all directions.Except for Ma Chao, who knew the situation in advance, everyone in Liang Junzhong became serious.But Ma Chao shouted calmly: "Arrange to meet the enemy!"
The well-trained Liang Jun immediately surrounded the baggage car, and the car was connected to the workshop with iron chains.Liang Junchang's archer used the baggage car as a cover, drew his bow and set up an arrow, ready to shoot.The spear and shield soldiers set up a shield wall between the baggage carts.All the heavy cavalry dismounted and stood behind the shield wall and the baggage cart with guns.Ten conventional catapults and forty or fifty portable catapults were also set up in the circular position, and the catapult players struggled to spin the winch to attach the strings of the catapults.
Ardasil saw Liang Jun build up a defensive position in just a quarter of an hour, and said in surprise: "These Liang soldiers are really well-trained, and they can arrange the army formation so skillfully in such a short period of time."
Then he frowned and complained to Sulehar and said: "Look, this king said before that we should prepare a batch of ballistas and Greek fire. If this is true, we don't need to attack at all, and we can go down with a thunderbolt." Bury them in the sea of fire."
Sulehar's face was also slightly red, and he replied: "This is my lack of consideration, but I never thought that their ability to adapt is so fast. An army formation can be organized in just a quarter of an hour. Press According to the assumption of my ministers, when they find that they are ambushed, they will rush to break out. Even if they are not, they will not have time to organize an army defense. In either case, we will have no use for ballista and Greek fire. When we retreat, these baggage Instead, it became our burden. That's why I don't advocate keeping a batch of crossbows."
Sulehal paused for a moment, then continued: "Your Majesty, even so, this Liang army will still be wiped out by us. After all, they only have about 3000 people, and our army is more than seven times their strength."
In the depression, the fighting between the two sides has already begun.The Sasanian Three Thousand Heavy Cavalry and Qing Cavalry were the first to attack Liang Jun's position.They encountered a precise sniper shot from Liang Junchang's archer two hundred steps away.The Sassan heavy riders rolled down from the saddle one by one, screaming and wailing.
When Sassan Qingqi rushed a hundred steps near the wall of the chariot, he began to circle around the chariot formation, and kept drawing his bow and arrows to shoot at Liang Jun's formation.The same is true for the heavy cavalry, except that they didn't go around in circles, but under the cover of their own random arrows, they rushed directly to Liang Jun's chariot formation.
The rain of arrows thrown densely caused Liang Jun's casualties to some extent, but the longbowman still took the risk of being hit by an arrow, and continued to lean out, aiming and shooting outside.In just two quarters of an hour, more than [-] longbows were killed or injured by arrows in their hands.
Some of the Sasanian heavy riders who rushed nearby jumped onto the carriage, and when they were about to rush down, clusters of javelins flew towards them, knocking them over from the wall of the carriage.The Sassanian army attacked in two or three waves, but failed to make any achievements.
The Sasanian army saw that this road was blocked, and then changed their strategy.They withdrew their cavalry, and with the sound of drums and trumpets, the infantry phalanx slowly advanced towards Liang Jun's chariot formation from four directions under the cover of arrow rain.Because of the large shield and shield wall in front of them, Liang Jun's archers could only shoot and kill the enemy, but they couldn't make accurate sniper shots.
At this time, Liang Jun finally used the ballista.Stone bombs and explosive bombs were thrown towards the Sassanian army one after another. From time to time, the Sassanian army could see infantry with shields smashed to pieces by stone bombs, and from time to time you could see people who were burned into fire and rolled all over the ground. infantry.In a short period of time, the Sassanian army formation became chaotic and severely deformed.
But wave after wave of Sassanid soldiers rushed towards Liang Jun like a wave.The tide finally reached the edge of Liang Jun's formation.The Sassanian army yelled and yelled and got into the formation through the gaps in the baggage carts, or directly jumped over the roof of the baggage carts.They were immediately attacked by Liang Jun's tenacious attack.The two sides fought fiercely together.
No matter how brave the Liang army was, the crowd-like attacks of the Sassanid army eventually made it difficult for them to parry for a long time.Seeing that Liang Junbing was about to suffer more and more casualties, and the defense line was about to be breached by the Sasanian army, there was a commotion in the northeast corner of the battlefield.
It turned out that the Longbow Chariot Battalion behind Ma Chao's palace arrived.Hundreds of arrows shot down, and the Sasanian infantry in the northeast were forced to spread out to both sides under the rapid casualties.Seeing this, Ma Chao shouted an order: "Retreat! The infantry retreat first, and the cavalry retreat last! Throw away all the ballistas!"
Liang Jun's infantry then rushed towards the opened gap in the northeast.Seeing this, Ardashir in the distance wanted to order all his infantry to concentrate to the northeast to intercept and destroy the last enemy army, but he was worried that the main force of the Liang army was approaching.
While he was hesitating, Liang Jun's infantry had already rushed out for nearly [-] steps, but only the nearby Sasanian war cavalry came to intercept him.However, these Sassanid war cavalry hadn't killed many Liang army infantry before they encountered sniper fire from the longbow chariot parked in the northeast, and then they were attacked by the Liang army war cavalry that followed.They then scattered to the sides.
Only then did Ma Chao's surviving cavalry escape. When the Sassanid army carefully gathered towards the abandoned position of Liang Jun, Ardashir heard a muffled sound.The whole position has been burned into a sea of flames.
Chapter 379
Ardasil looked at the fleeing Ma Chao army, and said angrily: "It's a pity that they were not wiped out!" Sulehar persuaded: "Your Majesty, although we failed to wipe them out, our purpose is only to intimidate them." Stop them. They suffered such a disastrous defeat, with one or two thousand casualties, they must not dare to chase our army rashly again. Let's take this opportunity to speed up our retreat."
After Ardasil nodded, he ordered the generals to quickly form a team and chase after the large army that was retreating in the direction of Persis.Unexpectedly, before they walked five miles away, a buzzing sound came from Ardashir's ears. Before he could recover, someone pushed him off his horse and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty careful!"
Ardashir, who fell on his back to the ground, saw locust-like arrows flying through the sky at this moment.Then there was a series of screams and wails, which were the sound of Sasanian soldiers being shot by arrows.The soldiers who pounced on him were also hit by an arrow.
When Ardasil pushed the corpse away, exclamations came from around: "Liang Jun is here! Liang Jun is chasing him again!"
Ardasil stood up in shock, hid behind the horse and shouted loudly: "Liang Jun? They suffered heavy losses, how many soldiers and horses are left? How could they come back?"
A general ran over and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed Liang Jun, but it doesn't seem to be the one that was defeated by us!"
At this time, Ardasil could already see the galloping figure of the Liang army's war cavalry outside the fifty or sixty battles of the Liang army in the distance.There are light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and longbow chariots.The leader was a general with a long beard and a green dragon Yanyue knife in his hand.It was none other than Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was originally on the southern battlefield, but before the Battle of Gwader, Feng Yu was worried that Zhou Yu's Northern Route Army would be unable to support the main force of the Sasanian Army.After deploying all the soldiers and horses of Guan Yu's headquarters into cavalry, each cavalry carried with him enough dry food for seven days, and went to the North Road to support as quickly as possible.
So Guan Yu crossed half of the Persian Plateau, raided countless Sasanian villages, and finally found Zhou Yu's tribe hundreds of miles east of Persis.At this time Zhou Yu had just sent Ma Chao out to take the initiative to ambush, and when he saw Guan Yu coming, he was overjoyed.Because of this extra fresh force, he can achieve greater results.
The original plan was to wait for Ma Chao to break out of the siege and retreat, and when the Sasanian army thought that the Liang army would not attack again, they would pursue them and catch him by surprise.But now, Zhou Yu immediately changed his action plan and asked Guan Yu to support Ma Chao, while he led the main force to go around in advance to pursue the main force of the Sasanian army.
Because of Guan Yu, even if the Sassanid army cannot be defeated, they can be held back for a longer period of time. At the same time, Zhou Yu's main force can bypass the ambush battlefield, catch up with the main force of the Sassanian front army and attack them hard .
Guan Yu's men and horses, who had come all the way, did not stop. After hearing Zhou Yu's words, they led their troops to the southwest without the slightest hesitation.Unexpectedly, because the scouts in front made a mistake in exploring the way, they took a detour and were delayed for half an hour.Before reaching the battlefield, he ran into Ma Chao who had already broken out.
So Guan Yu joined forces with Ma Chao to fight back again.Unexpectedly, this delay made Liang Jun's attack have an excellent effect.Because neither Ardashir nor Sulehar never dreamed that Liang Jun would immediately kill his carbine shortly after he was defeated.
At this time, the Sasanian army re-arranged the marching ranks.The cavalry had already moved forward to open the way, and the infantry walked slowly in the rear.There were no additional ranger scouts on both sides of the ranks.Guan Yu and Ma Chao attacked and killed him so easily, as if entering no one's land.
Guan Yu led the Qingqi and chased them side by side, rushing to the position of the central army, and then suddenly approached and appeared in the sight of the Sasanian army, firing bows and arrows in their hands.So a rain of arrows appeared over Ardasil and the others.
At the same time, Ma Chao led the heavy cavalry directly into the infantry of the Sasanian army's rear from the rear.In order to kill quickly, Liang Jun's heavy cavalry didn't use spears, but brandished maces.Caught off guard, the Sasanian pawns passed by as if they were being cut into melons and tofu.Rows and rows of them were knocked down by tall warriors or swept to the ground by maces, and then turned into a pile of flesh and blood under the iron hooves.
Sasanian's central army, that is, the brigade that Ardashir personally sits in is a mixture of infantry, camel cavalry, and a small amount of light cavalry.After Liang Jun rained arrows for half an hour, he finally recovered from the chaos and responded.The pawns set up their shields on the side.The heavy cavalry also relied on the heavy armor on the horses to block the side of the team as a cover.Then, after the cavalry gathered to a certain extent, the general gave an order and led them all to rush out.
When Liang Jun Qingqi saw the Sasanian camel cavalry attacking, he did not panic, and continued to shoot arrows at the Sasanian Qingqi who were mixed with the camel cavalry.Under the dense arrows, these light cavalry were either shot off their horses or retreated despite the difficulties, hiding behind the camel iron cavalry.
When the camel iron cavalry charged less than thirty battles, Guan Yu raised the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand and said, "Retreat!" More than 2000 Qingqi cavalry retreated neatly, but Guan Yu himself stood proudly in place.
After a while, the camel cavalry who ran in front of the three cavalry surrounded him, holding the scimitar high in the air.Guan Yu stroked his beard and remained silent, with the Qinglong Yanyue Saber slanted on his shoulder.When the opponent was less than a distance away, a broad crescent-shaped blue light flashed across, and six heads flew into the sky.Three belonged to these three cavalrymen, and the other three belonged to camels.The three headless corpses slid to the ground first, and then the huge headless camel corpse fell straight down, crushing the cavalry's corpse into meatloaf.
Only then did Guan Yu ride his horse back, but he didn't retreat very far, and stopped after only a hundred steps.This time it was more than a dozen camel cavalry chasing him.Immediately, camels wailed, and their soles were all pierced by the spikes on the caltrops.Such thorns are useless against horseshoes with iron palms and thick cuticles, but they can pierce the thick fleshy soles of camels.
The camel cavalry who were rolling on the ground just got up, Guan Yu had already charged forward, and the light of the Qinglong Yanyue knife danced into a ball, and then pieces of limbs and plasma flew out from this ball of light from time to time.
At the same time, farther away, the camels also stepped on the barbed wire that Liang Jun Qingqi had secretly cast just now.The light cavalry also flew over on horseback. Their sabers might not be able to cut through the thick armor of the enemy soldiers, but their mounts could definitely knock the enemy soldiers on foot to the ground.
The camel cavalry in the rear saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly retreated, but at this time the heavy cavalry led by Ma Chao also rushed up...
Chapter 380 Serial Assault
The heavy iron armor on the Sasanian camel cavalry cannot be pierced by long bows and heavy arrows.Even under normal circumstances, cavalry spears cannot penetrate such heavy armor.However, the mace of Liang Jun's heavy cavalry can cause huge damage to the internal organs of the human body without penetrating the armor.
The scimitar of a camel armored warrior slashed obliquely at the oncoming Liang Jun heavy cavalry.The Liang Jun knight's mace had just hit a camel's head at this moment, and it was too late to take it back.
The Liang Jun knight had no choice but to turn his head to avoid the slash, but the blade still hit his helmet.There was a crisp clang, and the helmet was almost cut through, but the scimitar was also bounced away.
When the camel armored knight was about to swing the second knife, the opponent's mace had already swept across and hit his left rib.He suddenly felt that his internal organs were overwhelming, and he spit out a mouthful of blood and fell down the camel.
Although the mounts of the camel iron cavalry looked a head taller than Liang Jun's Shire giant horse, and the iron armor was even thicker than Liang Jun's heavy cavalry, their disadvantages in weapons were undoubtedly evident in this battle.What's more, they have just been defeated by caltrops and their morale is low.Immediately after being charged by Liang Jun's heavy cavalry, they were defeated in less than a moment.
The Sasanian army scattered and fled in all directions. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ardashir, Sulehar and others rode their horses and ran to the front army.However, after Guan Yu joined forces with Ma Chao, they continued to pursue him relentlessly.The Sassanid Front Army was mainly composed of light and heavy cavalry, but their horse speed was not as fast as that of the Liang Army.Not long after, Liang Jun chased after him.Ma Chao's silver spear and Guan Yu's long knife danced together and charged towards the cavalry of the Sasanian army.
Ardasil hastily ordered some of the warriors to break up, but it was impossible to stop Liang Jun's attack.In less than half an hour, the cavalry in the rear were killed and retreated.When Liang Jun caught up again, the remaining Sassanid army, including Ardashir and others, had to flee in all directions.After this escape, the Sasanian army was defeated for thousands of miles.
Ma Chao and Guan Yu didn't divide their forces to pursue them, but continued to pursue Bosis side by side.Because there is a bigger battle in that direction---Zhou Yu is leading the main force of the [-] Liang army to chase the main force of the Sasanian army of [-] to [-]...
On the barren land, a large army stretching for nearly [-] miles was moving towards Persis quickly, like a giant python.At this time, if you look down from a high altitude, three equally fast-moving troops appeared in the distance behind the giant python.It's just that on the ground, they and the Sasanian army are still out of sight of each other.
These three troops are the main force of the North Road Liang Army under Zhou Yu's command.Each of them has nearly [-] people, and each stretches for two or three miles.Compared with the Sasanian army, their marching speed can be described as fast.
Zhou Yu himself was in one of the troops, and he kept urging the cavalry to speed up.From time to time, scouts and flying horses came to report the enemy's situation to him.Two hours ago, Liang Jun's frontline scouts discovered the enemy's situation.Zhou Yu immediately issued a military order to copy to the enemy's side as quickly as possible.
Immediately, the cavalry raised their whips and spurred their horses to gallop, and the infantry, who were replaced by ostriches, also began to gallop on the birds.The foot soldiers without ostriches ran in stride, but they could regularly transfer with the infantry on the speeding carriage.
"Report! Our central army has already cut off from the enemy army and is moving in the same direction! The distance between the two sides is eight miles! The front army and the rear army are also in place!" A scout rode his horse to report to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu reined in his horse, took a deep breath and said, "Send the order, the three armies turn around and approach the Sasanian army!"
"promise!"
……
Ardashir and the others and all the guards were riding on BMW horses.They quickly left the rest of the defeated soldiers far behind, and after half an hour, they caught up with their main force.
At this moment, Aldashir's furrowed eyebrows just dissipated a little.But thinking of the big defeat just now, he became angry again, and this anger would naturally be aimed at Sulehar.Because that failed strategy was made by Sulehar.
As soon as his lips moved, Sulehar said first: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to think about other things. Now that the Liang army has sneaked into the troops in ambush at the rear of our palace, there is no guarantee that they will not continue to sneak up on our main force. We It’s better to set up the formation as soon as possible, firstly, just in case, and secondly, to gather up the previously defeated soldiers. After the immediate urgent need is resolved, the minister will bear the responsibility for the crimes that should be borne.”
Only then did Ardashir suppress his anger, and he spoke to the guards around him and said, "Quickly send orders to the commanders of the various ministries. Because... because Liang Jun was found nearby, let them stop advancing and set up a defensive formation." !” He still planned to hide the defeat from the uninformed generals in advance, so as not to affect morale.
When the commanding soldiers were about to ride away after receiving orders, Ardashir heard a familiar hissing sound, which was like a nightmare to him. It was the broken bow of Army Commander Liang. The voice of the sky.Then he saw that one of the soldiers had staggered and fell from the saddle.At the same time, a dozen or so cavalry and infantry soldiers were knocked to the ground by the sudden arrows while screaming.
Ardashir looked into the distance, dust was flying on the skyline, countless arrows flew out of the dust, and then Liang Jun's war cavalry emerged from the flying dust.
"Quickly line up! Line up!..." Ardashir shouted in despair.But only a hundred or so soldiers around could hear his voice.Before Ardasil finished shouting, Sulehar, the generals and his own soldiers surrounded him and fled forward.
The Sasanian army at the three attack locations has crowded into a panicked group.Because when the Liang army approached the Sasanian army in the same direction, the other party was still marching, so the three attacked positions were all in the second half of the Sasanian army.
Liang Jun's war cavalry pierced through the Sasanian crowd almost instantly, dividing the second half of the Sasanian army, which was more than ten miles long, into four.The infantrymen of the Liang army who came running stood still and threw rounds of javelins at the densely populated Sasanian soldiers behind the shield wall.Then the ballistas set up in the rear also projected stone and explosive bombs at the Sasanian army.
The entire second half of the Sasanian army was suddenly attacked and plunged into extreme chaos.The brigade with a thousand-member brigade could no longer find a commanding general, and the dragons had no leader.Only the centurion-level generals led their infantry to fight on their own.
When Liang Jun's war cavalry turned around again and launched a second attack, Wan's Sasanian army began to be defeated.People kept fleeing in three directions.At this moment, Guan Yu and Ma Chao also chased up from behind. Their joining made the battle even more one-sided.The scrambling flight of the Sasanian army led to crowding and trampling each other, and when they disappeared behind the horizon like a tide, the wasteland was already littered with corpses.
Guan Yu and Ma Chao killed the rise, and when they were about to lead their troops to continue the pursuit, they saw a cavalry flying over and shouted: "Two generals stay here..."
Chapter 381 Persis
When Guan Yu and Ma Chao reined in their horses, Lai Qi had galloped up to them, and said to the two of them, "The governor of the Northwest Route Army has an order to tell the two generals that there is no need to chase Sassan's defeated army, but to retreat quickly. .”
After hearing this, Guan Yu silently carried the Qinglong Yanyue Saber on his shoulder, but Ma Chao asked back: "This killing is on the rise, why not take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and take another [-] to [-] heads from him?"
