Chapter 262 The Tiger of the Han Dynasty

Judging from the evidence, the number of Han soldiers who went to battle was far less than the number of Kangju people who went to war.

Therefore, many Kangju people were confident in defeating the Han army.

Kalmar was riding on horseback, but his face was serious. He knew very well the fighting power of the Han cavalry.

Although the strength of the Han army was smaller than that of Kang Ju, the combat effectiveness of the army was not simply a comparison of numbers.

Although the Han army had fewer troops, its equipment and training were superior to those of Kang Ju.

Not only that, there were nearly 10,000 servants from various countries behind the Han army.

Even if they defeat the Han army that is fighting in front of them, they may not be able to break the siege of Yarkand.

"go ahead!"

Kalmar gave an order, and the Kangju cavalry began to advance slowly.

"It seems that these Kangju people are well trained!" Yuchijia muttered from the side.

His voice reached Zhao Guanghan's ears, and Zhao Guanghan's face smiled more and more, which was just right.

The stronger the Kangju people are, the greater the value of this battle will be.

In this battle, the Han army not only wanted to defeat the Kangju people, but also shocked the countries in the south and west.

"Archmen attack!"

Liu Yi gave the order, and the Han army's cavalry and archers went into battle first.

Wu Zheng was in the formation at this time and felt his heart surge.

As Liu Yi's order was issued, he led his cavalry and attacked together with the army.

"Mount the gun!"

While the archers attacked, the lancers were also ready to attack.

Liu Yi's tactics were actually very simple. He first used cavalry archers to disrupt the formation of the Kangju people, and then the lancers used the tactic of charging on the wall to defeat the Kangju cavalry in one fell swoop.

"嘚...嘚...嘚..."

Seeing that the Han army's bows and horses were about to engage Kang Ju's cavalry.

"Lancers attack!"

At this time, the Lancers also began to accelerate slowly.

On the other side, when the Han army's cavalry attacked, Kalmar also gave the order to charge.

They excitedly waved their weapons, preparing to defeat the Han army's archers first.

"Spread the wings!"

The Han army's archers dispersed to the left and right wings in advance when they were still 200 steps away from Kangju's cavalry.

The actions of the Han cavalry were beyond Kalmar's expectations.

It gave him the feeling of being punched into cotton.

But at this time, the horse speed of Kangju's cavalry had increased to its peak, and it was too late to change the formation.

"Warriors, charge!"

Kalmar could only bite the bullet and continue to charge, but this time the Kangju people learned their lesson and blindfolded their horses.

"Second and Third Son, the time has come to kill the enemy and serve the country."

"The Han army is mighty.!"

Under the command of Liu Yi, the Han army's lancers also began to accelerate their charge as the archers spread out to the two wings.

The Kangju people shouted and charged towards the Han army. Contrary to them, the charging Han army's lances and cavalry just remained silent.

Only the "rumbling" sound of horse hooves echoed in the sky.

"The Han army is victorious!"

When the cavalry from both sides were about to meet, the Han troops suddenly shouted in unison.

The sudden burst of sound caused the charging Kang Ju cavalry to be stunned.

Kalmar was startled and felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Unfortunately, the two sides were already very close at this time, and there was no chance for either side to adjust.

"boom!"

The two cavalrymen collided together like two waves.

"Ahhh."

There were screams one after another, and the knights of both armies fell off their horses one after another.

However, a discerning person would know at a glance that Kangju's cavalry was clearly at a disadvantage. The number of Kangju's cavalry who fell off their horses was at least several times that of the Han army.

The generals from various countries who were watching the battle from behind all sighed, "The Han army is worthy of being the most powerful army in the world!"

Wei Chijia, the capital of Khotan, even said, "Of all the countries in the world, the Han army must be number one!"

General Yami also sighed at this time, "The Kangju people have no chance in this battle..."

"Warriors, kill!"

A Kangju noble officer roared in vain, and the next moment his head was beheaded by the Han army.

To make matters worse, the Han army's cavalry archers, who were originally scattered on both wings, also launched a violent attack on Kang Ju's cavalry from both wings.

Kalmar originally tried to reorganize his formation, but under the attack of the Han army's archers on both wings, this idea became a luxury.

Kang Ju's cavalry, who thought they were extremely brave, had no chance to show their bravery during the frontal attack. They were knocked off their horses by the Han army's lances and died senselessly under the horses' hooves.

Looking at the rows of fallen cavalry under the city.

At the top of Shache City, it suddenly became eerily quiet, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"The cavalry of all nations attack!"

At this moment, Liu Yi issued another order, and soon the cavalry from various countries also launched an attack.

The attack of the cavalry from various countries became the last straw that broke the Kangju people's back.

The Kangju people's cavalry collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the confrontation between the two armies turned into a one-sided massacre in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Kalmar first led his bodyguards to escape towards the city gate.

The commander's escape made the Kangju people who went to battle completely despair.

Some soldiers began to kneel down and pray for surrender, while the Han army and the cavalry from other countries launched an all-out attack.

The coalition soldiers at the top of the city stared at the city in shock. In just two quarters of an hour, the originally powerful Kang Ju cavalry collapsed.

The morale of the Kangju coalition forces above the city suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The Han army pursued them all the way to the foot of Shache City, and then stopped.

Su Fei rushed to the foot of Shache City and shouted: "How dare you fight!"

Under his intimidating momentum, the Kangju people at the top of the city all took a step back.

"It is better to use your remaining courage to chase down the poor bandits, not to use your reputation as an academic overlord!"

After the Han army won, they did not withdraw their troops, but immediately launched a siege.

In the Han camp, catapults were ready for attack.

"Fire!"

With a short shout, several gunners pulled open the hook on the gun barrel.

The stone bullets let out a deadly scream and flew towards the defenders on the city.

The soldiers of the Kangju coalition could only watch as huge rocks drew arcs in the sky and flew towards them.

The Han army's trebuchets began to show their power. The counterweight trebuchets improved by these craftsman battalions were much more powerful than during the Battle of Kucha.

This new type of catapult can already throw 600 kilograms of stone projectiles 300 steps away.

The range is far beyond the distance of the city moat, enough to cover the entire city and even attack enemy troops in the city.

Twenty trebuchets continuously threw stone projectiles weighing hundreds of kilograms into Yarkand City. With loud noises, debris and dust flew from the walls of Yarkand City.

Even the tall and thick city walls are completely unable to withstand the attack of stone bullets.

Every stone bullet generously brought death to the defenders.

The soldiers panicked and fled like headless flies.

Every flying stone and bullet caused tremendous psychological pressure on the defenders.
