Since the other party wants to play, Zhao Yun has nothing to say. He has a strong army and a strong horse, so he is not afraid of anything happening to him. Since he wants to play, he should have a good time. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trick are just a cloud.
"promise."
"promise."
"promise."
The three of them clasped their fists together, and then the army rested temporarily, preparing to wait for the decisive battle in the evening.
In the evening, Huang Zhong and Yan Xing quietly entered the camp with 50,000 cavalry. The originally 50,000-person camp was crammed with 100,000 people, and the crowd was about to rush out.
Kundrat's men went all the way south and stopped thirty miles outside Samarkand, then sent out scouts to explore the situation there.
The scout was wandering outside of Samarkand, looking at the camp in front of him. After patrolling for a while, there was no abnormality. Later, he discovered that the enemy's cavalry was coming, so he turned around and ran away.
"General, the scout is back."
The scout returned and reported directly to Kundrat.
"How about it?"
Hearing that the scouts had returned, Kundrat also became more energetic and asked directly about the situation there.
"The situation is basically the same as yesterday. Their scouts only wandered five miles away from the camp, so they probably didn't find us."
The scout glanced at Kundrat and directly stated what he saw and his judgment.
"Okay, I get it."
Kundrat nodded to the scout, and then looked to his side, Hitler Khan.
"Hitel Khan, do you think the other party will be prepared?"
Kundrat directly asked what the other party meant.
"It's now. Regardless of whether the other party is prepared or not, we have to rush forward."
Hitel Khan knew that he was still afraid, but now that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, all that was left was the final kick. If he backed down now, he thought the soldiers behind him would not agree.
"Hey, tell the soldiers to take a rest for the time being, dispatch them at the second watch, and attack the camp at the third watch."
Kundrat glanced at Hitel Khan and understood what was going on now. Indeed, if he retreated now, these soldiers would probably kill him. In this case, he would have to fight his way through the mountains of swords and fire.
"yes."
Soon, the 50,000 elite cavalrymen under Kundrat dismounted and rested, waiting to send troops to attack Samarkand at night to save their homeland.
While Kundrat was preparing, the Chinese soldiers and horses under the city of Samarkand also stayed up all night, and they did not dare to send scouts out to investigate for fear of alerting the enemy, so they could only wait for the opponent's arrival.
Not only Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses were also on full alert, waiting for news from Huang Zhong, but Yan Xing started to move forward and ran towards Samarkand.
"It's the second watch."
Hittar Khan came to Kundrat and told him that the time had come.
"Send troops, remember, you must keep quiet."
Kundrat opened his eyes suddenly and announced to Hitel Khan that he would send troops.
Fifty thousand cavalry began to advance slowly toward Samarkand, which was thirty miles away. They held their horses and bound their hooves to ensure absolute silence.
"Han Sheng, do you think they will really come at night?"
Yan Xing waited for such a long time, but there was no news about the other party. He was also confused for a while. He was wondering whether the other party would come and kill him.
"Don't worry, Samarkand is more trustworthy than Huaxia to Khwarezm. They will definitely come to the rescue. If they don't come now, it can only mean that there is not enough time. They may want to wait until the third night.
We were all fast asleep when they came to kill us and caught us off guard."
Huang Zhong glanced at Yan Xing, who was still young after all and had no patience at all.
"Then just wait, I don't believe it yet, let's see who can survive who."
Hearing Huang Zhong's words, Yan Xing also nodded, and then looked into the distance. He only had one thought now, which was to hope that the other party would come over quickly. Sooner or later, there would be a fight. Both sides were not sleeping, so let's start the fight early.
The atmosphere became more and more depressing, and a cloud of suspicion of war hung in the sky. Everyone stared, as if the war was about to happen as soon as they closed their eyes.
As time passes, Kundrat is getting closer and closer to Samarkand.
Twenty miles.
Ten miles.
Five miles.
"Charge for Samarkand."
Kundrat drew out the scimitar from his waist and pointed forward.
"Charge for Samarkand."
"Charge for Samarkand."
"Charge for Samarkand."
Fifty thousand cavalry launched directly, and thousands of horses galloped like a torrent, charging towards Samarkand.
"Enemy found, enemy attack, enemy attack."
Kundrat's cavalry charged, and the scouts patrolling outside immediately discovered the situation and rang the gong directly, notifying the troops in the camp to prepare for battle.
In fact, there was no need for them to notify them. The 50,000 cavalry charge was launched in the middle of the night in the stillness of the night. If they couldn't hear it, it would be an incident of collective deafness.
"We're finally here. Tear down the wall, use the armored cavalry as the vanguard, charge the whole army, and send a telegram to General Zilong immediately."
When Huang Zhong came over, he made improvements to the walls of the military camp. It was too difficult to break out of a hundred thousand troops from one camp gate, so he had the walls demolished and reinstalled.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
Wall after wall was knocked down, and the 100,000 cavalry who had been waiting inside rushed out. With 4,000 armored cavalry as the vanguard, they attacked Kundelat's cavalry and killed them.
"General Zilong, General Huang Zhong telegraphed that the enemy is coming."
Huang Zhong's telegram reached Zhao Yun in an instant.
"Order the entire army to charge, and ask Zhou Tai to seize the time to go south and encircle us."
Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses are twenty miles away. They are afraid of being discovered by the opponent's scouts and scaring the opponent away. Now the enemy has finally come to kill them. Since they are here, don't run away.
Zhao Yun's 60,000 cavalrymen directly dispatched and marched towards Samarkand with rumbling horse hooves.
As Zhao Yun advanced, Zhou Tai received the telegram from behind and began to speed up his army, heading south to encircle Kundrat's 50,000 cavalry.
Hearing the noise outside the city, there was a rush of excitement in the city of Samarkand, and everyone woke up immediately.
"Patriarch, the enemies outside the city suddenly launched their attack and rushed towards the north. It may be that Kundrat's cavalry came back."
Naturally, someone brought the news to the patriarch Sakun who was resting.
"What did you say?
Kundrat is back?"
Hearing the news, Sakun was shocked. He didn't expect that Kundrat would be so fierce and would attack the opponent's camp at night as soon as he came back.
"It should be, otherwise the enemies under the city wouldn't attack in full force."
The visitor glanced at Sa Kun and nodded directly.
"Tell the entire army to assemble and go out of the city to support Kundrat. Anyone who can mount a horse will be killed by me."
Now that the news had been confirmed, Sa Kun had nothing more to say, so he directly ordered the entire army to assemble and kill those who could mount their horses to strengthen the army.
But it is not that easy to assemble the soldiers and horses of Samarkand City. After all, except for the soldiers guarding the city, the rest are asleep. Although they are all awakened, it is still not that quick to assemble the troops.
It was destined to be a sleepless night. Huang Zhong's side had 100,000 elite cavalry, with 4,000 armored cavalry as the vanguard. Like bison migrating on the grassland, they charged towards Kundelat's troops arrogantly.
The cavalry of Khwarezm live on horseback all year round. Even though it is night, just by looking at the smoke and listening to the sound of horses trampling on the ground, they can tell that the opponent's number must be much greater than their own. It is obvious that they have many calculations.
Or he was plotted by the other party.
"No, the other side is prepared, this is a trap, retreat quickly, retreat quickly."
At this time, Kundelat's shortcomings became apparent. Although he could strategize, his commanding in front of the formation was still inferior to that of a defending general. He would only know how to retreat to preserve his strength.
"There is nothing we can do about the trap. The arrow is on the string and we have to fire it. If we try hard, we still have hope of survival. If we retreat, we will only be eaten by the enemy. Kill us."
Hitel Khan also knew that the opposite side was a trap. They had many more soldiers and horses than him, but the two armies were facing each other. Now that they were retreating, they had no chance to resist. If they killed them directly, they might still be able to rely on Khwarizi.
The model's elite cavalry is capable of fighting.
Hitel Khan took the lead and rushed out. The soldiers behind him did not hesitate when they saw this situation and rushed towards Huang Zhong's 100,000 cavalry.
"Fire the arrow."
Huang Zhong directly ordered his soldiers to fire arrows.
There is still a long way to go. China's bow-making industry is much better than that of Khwarezm. Not only does their war bow have a longer range than their opponent, but their bow power is also stronger than their opponent's. The only disadvantage is that a strong bow requires a strong force.
, the soldier can only spend more strength to draw the bow.
For a moment, the bows and arrows of the Yingyang cavalry and the Suppression Army cavalry were separated, and they shot through the space towards Kundrat's cavalry.
However, such war bows are only available to the elite cavalry under Yuan Shu. After all, it is not easy to make a bow. It often takes three years for a good bow to be finished. Therefore, China's stock is actually not much, and it can only temporarily satisfy the main cavalry.
As for the bows and arrows used by ordinary soldiers and horses, they are still the original inferior bows.
"Avoid arrows."
Seeing that the enemy's bows and arrows were beyond his range, Hitel Khan had no choice but to order his soldiers to maneuver to avoid the arrows.
A rain of arrows fell for a while, and the Khwarezm cavalry fell off their horses one after another. However, these were just a drop in the bucket for their 50,000 people. After avoiding this wave of arrows, both sides had already entered the attack range of their respective cavalry.
.
"Fire the arrow."
"Fire the arrow."
Both sides ordered the soldiers to release arrows together. At one time, tens of thousands of bows and arrows broke through the sky and collided in the air, making clanging sounds even in the darkest night.
"Put up your shield and avoid arrows."
"Avoid arrows."
Both sides fired arrows at the same time and announced to avoid the arrows at the same time.
There are so many arrows now that it is impossible to avoid or hide. I can only resist with my shield and hope that the God of Death will not find me.
Compared to those people, the armored cavalry were in a unique position. With their armored men and horses, they did not dodge at all in the face of the rain of arrows. As long as their shields were raised to protect their horses' heads, everything else was just a cloud.
