"Bandon soldiers! The pagan crossbow soldiers are coming!"

The Persians, who had just finished the five consecutive rounds of explosion rocket bombings, were upset and injured some (the explosion rockets were not powerful and could not die). They had just gained some confidence and felt that prayer had worked, and suddenly heard someone shouting in their ears.

"Hurry, stand up quickly and get ready to shoot arrows!"

"All stand up, you cowards, have the heaven of Allah, are you still afraid of death?"

"Teaching pagans hard with bows and arrows!"

The officers first reacted, and then loudly ordered their subordinates to get up immediately and join the battle. These Persian mercenaries were much stronger than the Persian soldiers placed by Aslan Khan in Balashagun. Aslan Khan's mercenaries were inherited from their ancestors, and they were all mercenaries passed down from generation to generation and had long been decayed. Sanjar's mercenaries were all trained by themselves, and their combat effectiveness was still very guaranteed. Now when they heard the orders of the officers, they all stood up, took out bows and arrows, and prepared to shoot against the enemy.

"Stop!"

Xue Ding, who is responsible for commanding 1,500 crossbowmen, estimates the distance between his crossbowmen and the enemy. Range measurement is a compulsory course for students of the Knights Academy, so Xue Ding can grasp the approximate distance by visually measuring the clarity of the target.

When he estimated that his troops and the enemy had gathered less than 75 steps, he immediately issued an order to stop moving forward. The trumpeter who followed him immediately used a military call to convey the order, followed by a series of harsh whistles.

All eighteen teams of crossbowmen stopped moving forward and stood on the battlefield. Xue Ding, who was riding on the horse, looked around and found that the three horizontal formations in front were still well maintained. After a little tidying up, it was like cutting a knife and chopping an axe.

"Triplesed volley! Aim..."

Xue Ding continued to issue orders.

Among the crossbow soldiers tactics formulated by Jiehe Knight Academy, there are two types of "three-stage strikes" and "three-stage strikes". The strategy of the three-stage strikes is that the crossbow soldiers remain unmoved, and complete the three actions of shooting, shooting, opening crossbows and raising arrows by passing the crossbow machine in their hands to achieve continuous firepower.

The triple-split strike is a dense fire volley. The crossbowmen in the first row are half-squatted, the crossbowmen in the second row are raised horizontally, and the crossbowmen in the third row are mounted on the shoulders of the crossbowmen in the second row. The crossbowmen in the three rows are shooting at the same time, pursuing the maximum fire density rather than continuous firepower. Such tactics require the three rows of crossbowmen to be slightly staggered. However, for new troops who have to receive queue training every day, such tactical actions are not a problem at all.

Just as the crossbowmen of the Great Education Regiment were preparing to shoot, the Persians opposite them were a little stunned. The enemy was too far away and they were all wearing half armor. The step bow used by the Persians was too soft, and if they wanted to shoot heavy arrows, they could not reach that far. They did not have any armor-breaking ability to shoot light arrows, so they would definitely not penetrate the opponent's iron armor.

“Woo woo woo woo…”

The horn of death sounded in the Persians' ears. It turned out that Sanjar also found that the Persians' bows and arrows could not reach the enemy, so he urged them to attack and get closer and shoot again.

And this means that one to two rounds of crossbow arrow attacks from the enemy!

"go ahead!"

"Allah is great, go forward!"

The mercenary officers were not vague and tried hard to urge their soldiers to move forward. Not only Persian archers went forward, but also some soldiers holding scimitar shields also advanced forward.

At the same time, a team of Sitajik cavalry and a team of Gulam cavalry also slowly sailed out of the queue and approached both sides of the crossbowmen of the Education Regiment.

Behind the crossbowmen of the Education Regiment are more than 3,000 archers from the Hexi Army. On both sides are phalanxes composed of two infantry units of the Education Regiment (no crossbowmen). There are 900 Hexi cavalry on both sides of the infantry phalanx, all forming a phalanx of a team of 100 cavalry. Everyone has a spear in their hands, and the tip of the spear points towards the sky, shining with a creepy cold light in the sun.

Seeing the Tajik cavalry and the Gulam cavalry approaching, six 100 cavalry phalanx immediately came up. I don’t know if it was the influence of the plateau climate or the lack of skills in these cavalry. Although their formation was dense, the impact was not fast. The Tajik cavalry and the Gulam cavalry did not choose to dodge, and they took off the spears on their shoulders and rushed towards the Hexi Army phalanx that was rushing in front with a very loose formation.

This is the impact of heavy cavalry on heavy cavalry! Although it is not large in scale, it immediately attracted the attention of the commanders of both sides.

The number of cavalry dispatched by both sides was almost the same, and the equipment used was similar. They all had armor, horses had no equipment, and they were all equipped with guns. The only difference was that the Hexi cavalry had worked hard to train formations in the past few years and had been able to form a dense square formation for wall-like impact.

Moreover, like the Wu Haogu's Tabs Cavalry and Wanyan Ganda whom they encountered, they only attacked, did not fight in hand, and took turns to attack.

Puffed tent...

With a dull and violent sound, and the neighing sound of war horses that followed, the first collision between the cavalry on both sides was launched on the plateau.

The Xiliang cavalry and the Sitajik knights who collided first. The Sitajik knights who originally depended on the Xikarakhan Dynasty and surrendered when Sanjar attacked the Xikarakhan Dynasty were a powerful brigade. Although they were Tianfang scholars, their tactics seemed to be good at charging with guns and charges. However, they were all knight masters who were usually scattered in their respective Ikta fiefs, and it was impossible for them to conduct intensive formation training. So they also used scattered formations to fight against the dense formations of the enemy, just like the Xixia Iron Harrier back then.

And dense means that more war horses, knights and spears are concentrated on the front of the real collision. Moreover, the dense formation of cavalry next to the cavalry also makes the knights in front of the array move forward without hesitation, because the retreating path was blocked by their companions.

Only by moving forward can you have a way of life, and if you retreat, you will surely die!

Therefore, even the elite like the Sitajik Knights were shattered by the second-rate Xiliang cavalry in the Hexi Army! Almost all the Sitajik Knights who met the Xiliang cavalry head-on were knocked down. The losses of the Xiliang cavalry were insignificant.

Then, the second team and the third team of Xiliang cavalry followed up quickly and stabbed the Sitajiks twice in the wound, hitting the feudal cavalrymen at the foot of the Palacios.

The Sitajik Knights who had not had contact with the Xiliang cavalry did not understand how much losses their team suffered. They still wanted to fight hand-to-hand after the impact as before, relying on their personal martial arts to kill the evil pagans.

However, after the impact, the Western Liang cavalry did not slow down at all, but quickly left the contact, and then left the center of the battlefield several hundred steps away from the Sitajik cavalry and quickly sorted out the formation...

"That's amazing!"

Sanjar witnessed the contest between the cavalry on both sides, his eyes almost fell out, and his face turned blue.

The cavalry on the peach blossom stone are too powerful, right? They are much more powerful than the Crusaders. No wonder the Dongkarakhan Dynasty was easily defeated by them. No wonder the cavalry sent out during the confrontation between Kashgar were always beaten to pieces.

It seems that I have done something stupid this time...

Too weak, right?

Xiao Heda was also watching the cavalry showdown on the battlefield, and now he was just trying the opponent's reality and decide what tactics to use later.

Unexpectedly, the result of the test was that it was a weak chicken.

"The order of the crossbows and artillery team to bombard the left wing of the thief and shoot out all the burst rockets!

Order the team to press forward and prepare to launch a spear assault!

Order the left-wing cavalry to prepare for the assault! Be sure to do your best, break with one drum, and then roll towards the middle of the bandits and enemies!"

Xiao Heda soon had a very simple arrangement to break the enemy. He used a burst rocket to lead the enemy's reserve team to the rear of the left wing to set up defenses, and at the same time launched a cavalry assault on their right wing. After the cavalry broke through, he immediately covered the infantry placed in the middle, and the two infantry generals of the Education Regiment also took the opportunity to launch a spear assault.

In this way, except for the strengthened left wing of the enemy, all enemy troops will be completely destroyed. There is no suspense about the outcome of today's decisive battle.

Just when Xiao Heda issued the order, the situation on the battlefield changed again. There were two changes. One was that a team of Guram Knights sent by Sanjar was as unlucky as the Sitajik Knights and were completely destroyed by the Xiliang Cavalry.

Another change occurred when the confrontation between infantry and crossbows quickly decided the winner. The crossbowmen of the Education Regiment did not rush to shoot their precious attack, but instead placed the Persian archers at a distance of thirty or forty steps, that is, more than fifty meters before they carried out a volley.

It's just that one round is accurate and fatal! The hit rate of the Jiehe Crossbow is already high, and it will hardly miss the shooting distance from thirty to forty steps. At this distance, except for the wart armor, there is still a certain defense, the rest of the armor cannot withstand the killing of the Jiehe Crossbow transformed from the God-arm Bow.

So 1,500 crossbow arrows almost shot 1,000 Persian archers! Although the stopping effect of the crossbow arrows is far inferior to that of the later bullets, the feeling of being shot is still not very good. The Persians' queue suddenly became chaotic, but before they could reorganize, countless feather arrows drew parabolas from the air, and they were all heavy arrows with great lethality. It turned out that the Hexi archers lined up behind the crossbowmen of the Education Group began to shoot intensive arrow rain. In a very short time, more than 3,000 archers shot 18,000 feather arrows, which made the Persians confused and had to raise their shields to block them. No one had the heart to organize a counterattack.

The crossbowmen in the education group took this opportunity to complete the arrow, and then another round of fierce and accurate shooting!

The Persian mercenaries who suffered repeated blows no longer had the perseverance to persevere. They retreated one after another despite the dissuasion of the officers.

Seeing that the Persian mercenaries suffered such a great loss, Sanjar's face turned into a Kunlun slave. Not only was the cavalry powerful, but the infantry was also the most powerful he had seen in this life, no doubt about it!
