Chapter 32 Ge Rong Ruo Luo Star-1

"Charge!" The commander Duan Huaixian gave the order, and the soldiers of the Xia State Imperial Guard took off the horse lance that was placed horizontally in front of the saddle. Zhao Xingde gently urged the mount, and the Minghongdu cavalry followed him. The cavalry column rushed out of the camp gate and gradually dispersed the formation. Each hundred people were in a horizontal formation, and the centurion was in the middle of the cavalry. After sorting out the formation, the soldiers placed the reins in front of the saddle, controlled the horse with their waists and legs, and raised the horse lance with their arms out. The horses began to accelerate gradually, and the sound of the wind roared in their ears.

The war horses ran up a small hill, and Zhao Xingde saw the vast battlefield, and several camps of heavy cavalry with reed eyebrows accelerated in front of them. The Antioch cavalry had already been mixed with the Turkic cavalry that fled back and forth. The Antioch cavalry and horses all focused on heavy armor, and rushed back and forth among the Turkic cavalry wearing only light armor, and they had a great advantage. The Turkic cavalry fled while bent their bows and archers. The closer they were to the center of the battlefield, the more chaotic the formation of the cavalry on both sides was formed. Countless small battlefields were formed in the vast wilderness, with arrows flying everywhere, and battlefields everywhere. Groups of Turkic cavalry desperately urged their horses. At the critical moment, the speed of the war horses was the difference between life and death.

A sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the left. Zhao Xingde saw more than a hundred Antioch cavalry lying on the horse's back and galloping past, rushing out of the melee zone, keeping the formation in an arc, then wielding a long sword, urging the horse to enter the center of the battlefield again.

The more chaotic the battlefield, the more quiet the Zhao Xingde's mind was, and the neighing of the war horses and the shouts of killing from both sides were suddenly gone. His soul seemed to be divided into two, one was behind the horse, and the other was in the sky, looking down at the battle with emotionless eyes.

Arrows break through the air, swords and swords, killing sounds like boiling, ghosts and wolves howl. In Zhao Xingde's eyes, teams of Turkic cavalry seemed to radiate from the center of the battlefield, which was a desperate attempt to get rid of the unfavorable situation of intersecting with the heavy cavalry. The formations of the Lumei Heavy Cavalry and the Antioch Cavalry unfolded like arcs, trying to hold and eat the rays that were running away. These rays and arcs were constantly moving and changing, chasing, contacting, collision, short-term melee, crossing each other, and just separated again. The straight ray heads fled from the battlefield without turning back, while the arcs turned around again and again intercepted the few rays that had not yet escaped the battlefield. There were more and more Lumei Heavy Cavalry on the battlefield, while fewer and fewer Turkic cavalry.

"Kill!" Wang Tongdeng was the first to encounter the Turkic cavalry. He used his arms to force, his long spear trembled slightly, and the sharp blade smeared the panicked enemy. The horse spear turned gently to remove the momentum. With the lightning and fire, the spear tip was pulled out from the enemy's corpse and pointed forward again. The elite cavalry of Xia Kingdom took the lead in charge, and was almost invincible among the Turkic cavalry that had no time to escape. The Xia Kingdom's Imperial Guard followed behind the vanguard cavalry capital, and almost did not encounter many stubborn enemy troops.

A Turkic cavalry rushed over with a scimitar. Zhao Xingde gathered his mind, danced his horse spear with his arms, and the tip of the spear was facing the direction of the enemy. The Turkic people were tilted on their horses, trying to avoid the sharp blade of the horse spear and bullied them to fight close to each other. At the moment when the two horses were about to go against each other, Zhao Xingde used his arms to move his long spear like a spiritual snake. The Turkic cavalry saw that he avoided the sharp blade, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and stood up to flatten the scimitar. At the critical moment, the front spear rod "

With a bang, he slapped the Turkic cavalry's iron helmet. The huge impact and the thrust of the spear rod immediately broke his neck. Zhao Xingde also felt a numbness on his arms, and he shook the horse spear with his strength. With the help of the spear body, he could not get rid of the impact. Life and death were only in his breath, but Zhao Xingde was much more calm than before. He did not look at the Turkic cavalry hanging on the horse's back, and his legs were lightly clamped the horse's belly, and followed the camp.

Although the Turks were defeated, they relied on their light armor and fast horses and fled with all their might. Very few people were actually knocked down by the heavy cavalry of Lumei. In the open fields, the bodies of the people and horses that died in battle seemed very sparse. Not long after, the shadow of the Turkic cavalry could no longer be seen on the battlefield. Antioch and Lumei's heavy cavalry jumped off their horses and searched for spoils on the Turkic cavalry who died in battle. Duan Huaixian took the soldiers of Chengying Camp around, sorted out the cavalry column, and slowly ran back to the camp. In this battle, no soldiers of Chengying Camp were killed or injured.

In addition to the Xia State Imperial Guards maintain their formation, there are some Lumei heavy cavalry who took action late and patrol the battlefield because they have no suitable target. If they recognize that the Turkic corpse "actually" was killed by the base camp, and the friendly forces nearby are relatively weak, they will surround them and force the other party to hand over the spoils. The rules in Lumei's army, whoever kills the enemy has the right to obtain the spoils on the enemy. Unfortunately, the situation on the battlefield just now

It was too chaotic, and the exact military achievements could not be calculated during the rush of the horses. In the battle just now, some cavalrymen actually left their team after killing the enemy, chasing the horses dragging their bodies and leaving the battlefield. The Antioch knights took the opportunity to grab the spoils, and the established Antioch army was almost completely invisible on the battlefield. Now, some battalions began to confront each other around the bodies, and even fought each other to fight for the spoils.

Wherever the Xia State Guard passed, friendly troops were extremely nervous. The soldiers hiding on the enemy's corpse were also standing up with weapons and looking at them with hostile eyes. The noble and reserved knights also stood in front of the corpses of the enemy as if they were facing a great enemy, as if they were guarding the rotten beasts, waiting for the followers to come up to search for the corpses. This left a deep impression on Zhao Xingde.

Wang Tongdeng looked at the knights who jumped off the horse with disdain and sighed: "If there were five thousand cavalry soldiers suddenly coming out now, Guan Bao would be unable to take advantage of them." The Xia State Imperial Guard had just killed hundreds of dozen Turkic cavalry, but the war horses carrying the corpses would have been gone long ago.

Zhao Xingde smiled and joked: "It's a pity that there is no way to mark it when rushing to the formation. The Turkic people who were killed by us just now died. In short, Brother Wang suffered the most." He quickly restrained his smile and thoughtful. The Turkic cavalry only paid attention to the camps of the main column of the Lumei Kingdom camped several miles apart. However, he did not find the Antioch army tens of miles away. This led to the Antioch army appearing behind them, and the Turkic cavalry panicked and fled without organizing a counterattack. If this is reasonable, then the Turkic cavalry escaped from the battlefield in a very orderly manner. Zhao Xingde still remembered the rays that fleeing quickly left almost at the same time, neither trampling on each other nor losing their formation completely. "Pan" is "panic", but "chaos" may not be necessary.

"There are very few corpses on the battlefield, which is an extremely efficient retreat." Zhao Xingde said intimately, he lifted the reins of the horse, and the Dayuan horse ran gently, so he could come to the side of the captain Duan Huaixian.

Duan Huaixian frowned and seemed to be thinking about something. When he saw Zhao Xingde coming up, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Xingde hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I thought that the Turks might be defeated." He had repeatedly considered this idea in his heart.

"Oh?" Duan Huaixian picked up the reins on the saddle and gently slowed down the horse. "How can I tell?"

"This," Zhao Xingde was speechless for a moment. The Turkic cavalry escaped too calmly, but it was just his strong feeling. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for the early preparation and suddenly being attacked, the Turkic cavalry would never have been killed or injured at least."

Duan Huaixian's eyes flashed slightly and he said lightly: "That's all?"

Zhao Xingde adjusted his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "The Lumei army follows the rules in combat. Although it is not easy to win, it is not easy to lose. If the Turks want to win, they must find ways to disrupt the Lumei army. The first point is to let the Lumei army leave the coast, not only get supplies from the sea, but also lose the support of the fortress. The Turks annihilated the northern legion, burned Lumei's fortress, and latched General Andro's head.

On the big gun, this is angering Emperor Lumei. The current fraudulent defeat is likely to be the arrogance of the Turks. Emperor Lumei was both angry and underestimated the actual combat power of the Turks. Maybe he would leave the coast and rashly attack the overwintering ranch of the Roma Turks." He thought and said, there were many things that could not be thought through, and they were combined together. The more he said it, the more it became more and more natural, as if he had seen through the intention of the Roma Sultan.

The marching Sima Huang Zongdao followed behind and exclaimed after hearing this, "If you say, the Roma Turks were willing to sacrifice the lives of so many tribesmen in order to perform this scene?" He looked behind him. Although the corpses of the people and horses in the wilderness seemed extremely sparse, there were always one or two thousand. The cost of bullying the enemy was too high.

Zhao Xingde was stunned, and unconsciously calculated the human heart so dangerously, and he was a little surprised. His face changed slightly, and he was silent and did not speak. Duan Huaixian said lightly: "As long as Emperor Lumei was trapped and wiped out all the elite troops of Lumei Kingdom in one battle, from then on, Haixi land will be the world of the Rom Turks." He turned to look at Zhao Xingde and nodded, "It's very good." He sighed and said, "My camp is a guest army after all. Now, I have to do my best to do my best and leave my destiny."

Sure enough, Duan Huaixian proposed in the military discussion that the Turks might have lured Lumei's army to advance, but they were soon lost in the talk of Lumei's generals. The old emperor Alexei could not withstand the stimulation of the destruction of the Northern Legion, and the generals of each column were not satisfied with the meager results. After a night of discussion, he finally decided to leave the coast and continue to go east. The Grand Duke of Antioch Bemund II made great contributions and was full of confidence in his victory today, so he volunteered to serve as the vanguard column of the entire army.

Not long after leaving the coast, the inland terrain gradually rose and fell. Lu Mei's army became very difficult to march and had to march along the narrow roads between the hills. There were many hills between the east and west roads, and the left and right wings were inconvenient to echo each other. Therefore, the marching queue of Lu Mei's army, from the left and right wings to protect the main force, turned into the Antioch army as a vanguard, the column led by Prince John as a rear guard, and Emperor Alexei led the main elites of Lu Mei's army to march in the middle. In order to prevent sneak attacks by the Turks, light cavalry will be sent far away every day. On the one hand, it will choose a camp suitable for camping, and on the other hand, it will detect the movements of the Turks.
