Chapter 38 Ambush(2/2)
The distance between the two sides continued to close, and they soon entered the shooting range of the cavalry bow.
The prairie cavalry on the opposite side hurriedly fired a burst of arrows and then dispersed to both sides.
Sure enough, I don’t dare to go head-on!
The Persians calmed down a bit and sped up.
But soon, a scene that stunned them appeared: after the Uighur cavalry spread out to the two wings, they directly revealed the people behind them.
It was a group of knights riding tall horses, wearing iron armor and holding "long lances".
They lined up in a tight formation and did not panic at all while running, as if they had already become familiar with everything on the battlefield and did not care about life or death.
This is definitely not a Uighur!
But there was no time to think, and the two sides quickly collided. When the wrong horse passed by, the Persian cavalry suffered heavy losses that had not been seen in many years: almost a quarter of the horses were running in the air,
The knight has disappeared.
The prairie cavalry came back again, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Persians finished their charge and the formation was scattered, and arrows rained down.
The screams of the Persians continued.
One wave of prairie cavalry finished shooting and ran into the distance. The second wave rushed over again, firing thousands of arrows.
The Persians who were gathering their formation were in chaos.
"Definitely!" Xia Jun's cavalry had already turned their horses' heads and launched another charge.
They were as fast as lightning and rushed in front of the Persians in the blink of an eye. The opponent's formation that had not yet been gathered up was scattered with one blow.
After the Xia people rushed through, the prairie cavalry surrounded them fiercely like a pack of wolves, firing their bows...
It's like it's been rehearsed in advance.
The Lancers charged first, and they may not be able to overwhelm the enemy, nor may they be able to kill many of them. But they "stiffened" the enemy for a moment, and then a large number of prairie horsemen quickly surrounded them, biting them endlessly.
The enemy will continue to lose blood, lose strength, and eventually be unable to resist.
"Poof!" When the last wave of charges was launched and Gao Siji stabbed Safar's broken armor with a gun, there were almost no Persians left on the entire battlefield.
Soon, the prairie horse archers fired a volley, and the last Persian fell.
The battle is over.
"Alas!" Ogulchak, who had been watching the battle from a high place for a long time, sighed.
Whether or not there is a backbone is different.
The Xia army withstood the charge of the Persian cavalry head-on, and the prairie cavalry cooperated with them to harass and kill, and they fought so cleanly.
Don't talk about ambushing people.
He had set up an ambush before, and he was shot through and ran away, okay?
I recall that when my father was alive, there were many craftsmen in Balasagun and Talas who made armors and weapons for them. At that time, the Uighurs could even produce a large number of heavy cavalry, so they could compete with the Persians on the battlefield.
.
It has only been more than 40 years, but the Great Uighur Kingdom has declined to this extent. It is really sad!
Ogurchak made up his mind to capture many Persian craftsmen and farmers, let them farm the land for him, support a group of full-time warriors, and also let them make sophisticated equipment for him and arm his warriors.
This is especially important after losing Karasha.
Otherwise, they will really have no choice but to live in the shadow of the Xia people and linger. And the final end should be no better than the Persians, or even worse.
