Just when Xu Shu was about to talk about Sasan's weakness, a small school boy suddenly ran in and interrupted the discussion in the big tent.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty!"
"The Sasanian army has arrived ten miles outside the tent."
The principal told the truth.
"You came so quickly!" Liu Chan said calmly. The civil and military generals in the tent were either happy or frowning nervously, but Liu Chan stood up and said: "Since the God of War is here, let's go meet him."
"No!"
All generals will obey.
Half an hour later.
South of Assyria.
"Soldiers!" Shapur came to the front of the army in military uniform. He slowly urged his horses, slowly from left to right, and said loudly as he walked: "Sasanian warriors, the hateful Easterners are here.
In front of us, they captured our city and massacred our subjects. You tell me what we should do."
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The Sassanid knights shouted in unison, and the sound was so shocking that even the Han army camp on the opposite side heard it very clearly, but they did not know what these Sassanid people were shouting.
Although I don’t know what the other party is shouting, it doesn’t matter, because you can tell with your toenails that they are mobilizing before war.
This momentum seemed pretty good. Liu Chan looked at the neatly formed Sasanian knights on the opposite side and muttered to himself.
If this was a movie and TV show, Liu Chan felt that he would think that the combat effectiveness of this Sasanian army should not be low, and maybe they would win this battle.
Just——
This is not a movie or TV drama, this is a real battle, and their opponents are the elite men led by Liu Chan.
Shapur was doing pre-war mobilization, and it stands to reason that Liu Chan should follow suit, but Liu Chan felt that it was not necessary. Isn't it a little late to do pre-war mobilization now?
What is Liu Chan doing?
He is watching.
The civil and military generals, including the Han Dynasty, were all staring closely at the 40,000 Sasanian cavalry on the opposite side. They were all wearing bright silver iron armor, including the war horses, which were wrapped in a thick layer of iron armor. Their appearance was indeed intimidating.
.
The war between the Eastern Qingqi and the Western Iron Cavalry is about to break out.
Just after the Sasanian soldiers shouted in unison, a strong warrior in front of the formation suddenly waved his spear and let out a harsh roar.
"Roar!"
After roaring, I saw him suddenly flattering me.
Forty thousand Sasanian cavalry began to move.
They were walking in neat steps, and they could hear the trembling of the earth and the sound of armors clashing with each other in the distance.
"Your Majesty!"
Xu Shu whispered: "The Sasanians are about to attack."
"Yes!" Liu Chan nodded slightly. The knights around him were also in full formation. They were ready to launch a fierce attack on their opponents at any time.
"Guan Xing Zhao Tong!" Liu Chan suddenly roared.
"Here!"
Guan Xing and Zhao Tong immediately responded to the order, with proud smiles on their faces. They were also waiting for this moment to arrive.
Liu Chan looked at the two of them, and he was very satisfied. They were both powerful generals of the Han Dynasty.
"The two beloved ministers lead their own troops, Guan Xing is on the left, and Zhao Tong is on the right." Liu Chan said, while looking at the Sasanian cavalry coming slowly from the opposite side, and said: "The Sasanian cavalry are all wearing heavy armor.
They look very intimidating, but they also have their flaws... they move slowly."
Liu Chan has discovered this, including Guan Xing Zhao Tong and other Han civil and military generals. In fact, these Sasanian knights look really impressive, but wearing thick armor, although their protective power is reduced
Improved, but also slowed down their movement speed.
Now, they are walking very slowly.
Even if they speed up, they will still be limited by the heavy armor.
Everyone agreed with Liu Chan's words, and Liu Chan then said to the two of them: "After they enter the shooting range, the two beauties can take advantage of the situation to attack their two wings. Remember not to engage in battle first, and only need to fire quickly from the outside."<
/p>
"No!"
This tactic is not the first time the Han army has used it. After Liu Chan improved the Han cavalry, this tactic has become the established tactic of the Han Dynasty. The effect is very perfect and there has been no defeat so far.
The generals Liu Chan brought out this time were Guan Xing, Zhao Tong, Zhang Bao, Tian Mu, Guan Suo, Chen Xin, Tu Lianhu, and Guan Feng. At this time, Zhang Bao led Tu Lianhu and was fighting with the Sasanian army in Assyria.
In a fierce battle.
In comparison, among the remaining six, Guan Xing and Zhao Tong are the strongest.
When Zhao Tong Guanxing left the central army and went to the two wing formations, Liu Chan took a look at the remaining civil and military generals and said loudly: "This battle is against the Sassanid king, Shapur, the god of war in the eyes of the Sassanid people, he is very strong
, but we are not soft persimmons, you are all my elite."
"Today's battle!"
"No victory allowed, no defeat allowed!"
"No advance, no retreat!"
"Anyone who retreats, no matter who he is, will be killed without mercy!"
Liu Chan issued the order for a decisive battle. Since he was facing the opponent's king, this was a decisive battle. This battle would also determine the outcome of the Western Expedition.
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
In an instant, the Han army camp also erupted into a uniform roar, and the momentum of a hundred thousand troops naturally resounded throughout the sky.
Along with the roar of the soldiers, Liu Chan suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed the sword forward and shouted loudly: "Attack!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The 100,000-strong army also marched forward slowly with neat steps. Liu Chan, the imperial censor, Xu Shu, and others in the central army stayed on this temporary high platform, which was relatively far away from the battlefield and could overlook the entire
battlefield.
When a hundred thousand troops go into battle, there is no need for the emperor to go into battle in person. Liu Chan only needs to stand here and command. Strictly speaking, he only needs to watch from here.
Looking at the advancing Han soldiers, Liu Chan's heart was surging, but he was also very nervous. After all, he was fighting against the God of War in the eyes of the Sasanians.
The two armies gradually approached in an open field.
Three thousand steps.
Two thousand five hundred steps.
Two thousand steps.
...
There is still a thousand steps between the two armies. Both wings of the Han Dynasty are equipped with cavalry, totaling 60,000 people. In the center are 40,000 infantry, which is the only infantry type left in this Western Expedition.
p>
"Kill!"
The Han army, which had originally attacked almost in parallel, suddenly ran forward with its wings like two sharp knives. They quickly rushed out, leaving the Chinese army far behind.
Similarly, when the Han army launched an attack on both wings, the Sasanian army suddenly accelerated its advance.
The shock brought by the 40,000 heavy cavalry can be felt on the earth.
Boom, boom, boom.
However, their speed is obviously not as good as the two wings of the Han army.
"Roar!" The Sasanian army suddenly shouted loudly, and then, they saw 40,000 cavalry raising one hand almost at the same time, and then thrust forward.
Although Liu Chan is a little far away, he can still be seen.
The clear blue sky suddenly appeared with countless black spots.
"Shield!"
Lady Protector Guan Feng, who led the Chinese army, immediately shouted loudly, and the infantry in front of the formation immediately raised their shields high.
This is nothing unusual.
As early as the Battle of Media, they had learned the Sasanian attack methods.
The only difference is that the Sasanian army in Media City will quickly throw out the spears in their hands when the Han army enters a hundred paces distance.
Although the hand-thrown spear cannot be compared with the three-bow crossbow of the Han Dynasty, facing tens of thousands of spears, the Han soldiers will face heavy damage even if they are brave. In the Battle of Media, a Han army died in the battle.
There are tens of thousands of people, also because of this move of the opponent.
Guan Feng is a battle-hardened general and has also experienced the Battle of Media. Therefore, when the two armies continued to approach and there were still two or three hundred steps left, they discovered that there was something different about this Sasanian army. They were indeed like
As Xu Shu said, each person has a spear, a shield, and a short sword.
However, there are several short guns on the side of their horses. They are two to three hundred paces away. Although they cannot be seen particularly carefully, they can still see roughly.
When Sashan shouted loudly, Guan Feng immediately understood what the other party was going to do.
Just——
The first round of short lance launches by these Sasanians was not aimed at the Chinese army. After all, the Chinese army was still two to three hundred steps away from the Sasanians. Even if they were all javelin throwers, they wanted to throw three feet.
The long iron spear was thrown two to three hundred steps, and then hit the advancing Han army.
Still a little embarrassed.
But——
Although the center of the Han army is still a little far away, the Han cavalry on both wings has already entered the shooting range at this time.
Guan Xing, leading his 20,000 cavalry, had arrived only 70 or 80 steps away from the Sasanian front army. Suddenly he saw the opponent throwing short spears. Guan Xing was also anxious and shouted angrily: "Defense!"
From the time the short gun was ejected to the final fall, it was just a matter of familiarity.
