Chapter 707 Breaking the Resting Cavalry (Two in One)

Cavalry fights like infantry.

This was so new, the Parthians were stunned for a short moment, the entire cavalry team was divided into two, scattered left and right towards the two wings of the rebel cavalry, avoiding the frontal javelin projection.

Light up the heavy cavalry on our side.

All heavy cavalry wear iron or copper armor.

Strictly speaking, they are not really heavy cavalry, and they are still somewhat different from Xu Ding's formation of right cavalry in Dahan.

The right cavalry guard is also known as the Xuanjia Guard. Both men and horses are wrapped in thick chain mail, and their weapons are mainly blunt weapons. The horses are carefully selected tall horses, majestic and powerful.

That is the real moving steel fortress.

But the Anxi heavy cavalry in front of him is a lot less interesting.

Not to mention that the equipment is not uniform, and the horses are not the best in the world, but they have more protection than Qingqi.

He ordered a javelin to be shot and hit one of the horses.

The resting knight flew upside down and fell off his horse in an instant.

However, the javelins thrown by other people were not so strong. When they hit the heavy cavalry, they didn't hurt much. They just hurt the Parthians, knocked their hats and tilted their bodies.

"Humph! Break it for me!"

Xu Ding swung his spear, and an Anxi soldier who was rushing forward also flew upside down and fell off his horse in an instant.

Xu Ding waved his spear left and right, and each of the enemy riders either died or fell backwards.

Heavy riding in front of him is a living target instead.

Unable to react to the inconvenient Anxi heavy cavalry, Xu Ding easily passed through it.

"Clang! Clang..."

Perhaps this is a special case, and the battles of other soldiers are more normal. The cavalry of the rebel army fought with the Parthian army with their swords, and the weapons of both sides collided or hit the armor.

And can not hurt rest heavy cavalry.

This made the Anxi people very proud.

However, when they slashed at the rebel cavalry with their swords, they failed to kill the opponent.

Because the opponent avoided it very nimbly, many of the two horses even missed it, and even turned around and stabbed at the weak point of the heavy cavalry's rear wing with a sword.

Some directly stabbed and attacked the horse's hips and legs. In short, the unprotected places faced the attack of the rebel cavalry.

Of course, the cavalry of the Romans could not do this, but with the stirrups, the cavalry of the rebel army could do many difficult movements, even if the body fell down and the hands touched the ground.

Therefore, under this round of showmanship, Anxi Heavy Cavalry was not defeated in the head-on duel, but was beaten by this series of counterattacks.

One by one fell off their horses, all the heavy cavalry were killed, and the rebel cavalry successfully killed all the cavalry and passed through.

Leaving the Anxi Qingqi with two wings outflanking them was messed up in the wind for a while.

"This……"

The Parthians on Hatra City were also dumbfounded.

This result was exactly the opposite of what they had expected.

The rebel army broke through the frontal heavy cavalry with ease, and all the heavy cavalry of our Parthians were killed.

Especially Xu Ding's performance just now surprised them even more.

Rampage, the spear passing by, such as crushing force is unstoppable.

"Hmph! This is just the beginning. Even if we accidentally fall into their trick, the real duel will still be Qingqi."

Someone said unwillingly to admit defeat.

The others also echoed, and then took a peek at the Caliph.

The boss hasn't spoken yet.

On the battlefield, after a short period of distraction, all Anxi light cavalry were red-eyed and urged their horses to shout: "Come on, kill them all..."

Anxi Qingqi, one left and one right, rushed towards the middle, and chased the rebels' ass from behind.

Although the heavy cavalry is gone, their light cavalry is still there, and the number of You Qi is still maintained.

And now they are the attacking party, the chasing party.

Just rush over and crush the rebel cavalry directly.

This is what they do best.

But it seems that they were restrained at this point, because the rebel cavalry put away their sharp blades, replaced their bows and arrows, and then turned around to shoot arrows.

The shooting angle is still straight, not projectile.

"Whoa..."

"Pfft..."

The Anxi people's Qingqi didn't expect that the opponent could shoot arrows like this, and everyone could do it.

At this time, they sprinted to speed up, once they were shot, they collided with the arrows, and all of them fell off their horses.

Because the arrow and the person are in accelerated contact, the arrow will penetrate deeper into the body.

Natural pain is stronger with impact.

Anxi Qingqi chased fewer and fewer people, facing the enemy's ability to turn around and shoot arrows to make such a more difficult technical move, they were almost crying.

This is really a rebel army in Rome, a rebel army composed of slaves and slave farmers.

This is more regular army than regular army, more professional than professional cavalry.

"Losing!"

Above the city of Hatra, Caliph's eyes flickered slightly, his face turned cold, and he simply uttered two words.

The generals were taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood.

The rest of the country is based on cavalry, and cavalry is the most important force in their country.

It can be said that everyone knows how to ride, and they can still understand the advantages and disadvantages, but they just don't want to admit it from the bottom of their hearts.

Sure enough, at the next moment, Xu Ding also divided his troops, one left and one right, turned around and came back, and then outflanked and shot from the classic two wings.

Anxi Qingqi knew that he was no match, so they withdrew and fled, but in the end they were not chased by Xu Ding and others and wiped out.

The Sri Caliph and his city of Hatra did not send reinforcements to rescue them.

Two thousand Parthian cavalry were wiped out in this way.

The beautiful ones are wiped out by others.

After annihilating the Anxi cavalry who left the city, Xu Ding asked the interpreter to continue shouting, but there was no reply in the city. The whole city was on guard, and infantry stood on the top of the city, waiting for Xu Ding and others to attack the city.

"Commander! No matter what we say, there is no answer in the city." The translator asked: "Commander, should we continue to shout? I don't think it is necessary. The Caliphate family is a proud family. The Roman Empire has never conquered this place." A city, now that we have killed two thousand riders under their noses, I am afraid they will be angered by the scriptures."

"It's fine if you don't answer. What aloofness is just to save face. Field battles are not good, you can only guard the old city to waste your will. The Caliphate family is nothing more than that, and the Parthian Empire is not good..." Xu Ding glanced at the city of Hatra, With a chuckle, he turned and left.

At this time, all the riders under him finished cleaning the battlefield, and gathered their horses and weapons.

Fighting all the way from Rome, Xu Ding barely captured about [-] horses.

Plus some wear and tear, and the elimination of bad horses for logistics and transportation materials.

The entire cavalry team was maintained at around 600 people.

Now nearly [-] good horses have been seized at once, and I have to say that it is better to fight nomads.

If after a few more visits, unprepared infantry can ride horses, then the speed of transition to battle will be even faster.

"By the way, tell the Parthians in Hatra to bring back the corpse, but remember to pay some money." If I remember correctly, most of the Parthian cavalry are nobles, especially those heavy cavalry with helmets and armor .

These people are relatively noble, and there should be someone in Hatra City who is willing to redeem the corpse.

Sure enough, after the translator finished shouting this time, there was an echo in the city.

"You are real warriors. Now we believe in your sincerity. You did not insult our knights. In order to express our gratitude, we will pay you the corresponding money, and at the same time send some drinks and food. When your army arrives, we will We can discuss cooperation."

Soon a group of civilian men came out, with some drinks and food in the car, and of course the promised ransom.

He unpacked the wine and food, loaded the body and transported it back to Hatra City.

That night, Xu Ding and the crowd drank and sang, howling wolves to celebrate the day's victory.

The autumn night is a little cool, very cool, the bonfire is gradually extinguished, and the lively noise subsides.

The entire camp was extremely silent.

The gate of Hatra City was opened again, and a light cavalry quietly left the city, and then rushed to a sheltered mountain ten miles away.

This is the place where Xu Ding camped and rested. At this time, except for the bonfire swinging left and right under the blowing of the wind, and the flag being blown up and fluttering from time to time, the whole camp was eerily quiet, as if permeated with a decaying smell of death.

Seeing the silent barracks, the Anxi people on the horse showed smug smiles, and then urged their horses to rush into the camp, smashed through a few camp gates piled up with wood, and drove straight into the center of the camp.

It turned out that the Parthians had drugged the food and drinks of the rebel army in order to wait for tonight's night attack.

At first, they thought they would have to spend some time, but they didn't expect the stupid rebels to really believe what they said. They finished their wine and ate their food.

Looking at the broken wine jars on the ground, the whole barracks was full of strong alcohol smell, and there were soldiers lying in disorder.

"Wait! These soldiers...are straws!"

Most of the bonfires in the camp had been extinguished a long time ago, and the few scattered piles were also extremely weak. If you didn't get a closer look, you wouldn't know that the corpses in the camp were all made of grass.

They put on clothes, put on weapons and armor, like a drunken rebel army.

The Parthians were shocked. Looking around, they didn't see a single horse from the rebel army, let alone the [-] horses captured during the day.

"I've been fooled, let's go..."

The Parthians urged their horses to get out of the camp, but at this time, countless rockets were fired from outside the camp. The arrows were shot from outside the mountain ridge, where they could overlook everything in the camp.

The rocket entered the camp and instantly ignited everything in the camp.

It turned out that the rebels didn't drink the wine at all, and it was all in the camp. The scarecrows were either sprinkled with wine or stained with oil, and they burned quickly as soon as they were ignited.

The fire raged, and the two thousand Anxi troops were scorched and bumped around, and the clothes on their bodies were also quickly set ablaze.

The Parthians who rushed to the camp were also shot and killed by the insurgents ambushing outside the camp.

Those who avoided the arrows were also intercepted and killed by Xu Ding and others.

The whole valley was full of flames, screaming and killing, people howling and horses screaming.

The two thousand Parthians who originally wanted to reap the victory and get back the ransom and horses were all folded here that night, and none of them survived.

Looking at the blazing fire, Xu Ding couldn't help but lament: "It's a pity that these horses and those drinks are good things!"

"Commander, there's no more wine to drink, but at least everyone can have a good meal." Youshou joked.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Yes, at least there is roast horse meat to eat.

More than 2000 war horses will have to eat for ten or eight days.

Seeing that the generals were still so interested, Xu Ding said with a smile: "I want to drink, it's easy, let's go to Hatra City to have a drink tonight!"

Go...to Hatra!

What does it mean.

"Let's go, gather the team, let's go to the city, fight if we can, and sleep if we can't fight!" Xu Ding urged the horse to leave, and the generals understood what it meant, and they became excited one by one.

It turned out to be to cheat the city gate, this excitement.

Soon the riders arrived at the city of Hatra. Of course, they disguised themselves well before they came. The soldiers at the front changed into Parthian armor and clothes.

Even the flags were seized during the day, and only the Parthians were allowed to collect the corpses during the day, and all other things were confiscated by the rebel army.

So this wave of camouflage is really hard to find without looking carefully.

Besides, there was Xu Ding himself who was tied up at the front.

Seeing that the army returned to the Parthians, they didn't have much doubt, especially after the people in the city asked how the situation was.

The translator of the rebel army replied in an Anxi tone: "Needless to say, the general's strategy is perfect. These rebels are all drunk and poisoned. We used to slaughter sheep as easily as we used to. Look who this is, this is the rebel army." The leader of the army, Alexander Qin, this guy doesn't drink much, and now he is captured by us. I don't know if he can survive tonight. Hurry up and open the city so that we can send it to the general. Maybe he can ask for some information. .”

When the defenders on the city heard this, their eyes lit up immediately, and they were all very excited.

It is great that the rebel army was wiped out and its leader was captured alive.

There was a sudden commotion in the city, and Alexander Qin's bravery during the day was obvious to all.

Their bravery is unmatched, and it is estimated that their generals may not be able to beat them.

Being captured alive now is pretty awesome.

So countless heads protruded from the top of the city, and looked at Xu Ding who looked drunk and sleepy, with his head bowed and tied up.

"It's him! It's him! It's really him..."

"Why are you yelling, don't open the city gate yet!" The guard on the city kicked a subordinate's ass and urged.

That subordinate hurriedly went down to open the city gate, and at this moment the caliph who was waiting for the news came to the city gate with his personal guards.

Estimating the time, the two thousand troops should be back, but he was still a little uneasy, so he went to the top of the city to inspect it himself.

If the two thousand soldiers succeed, he should also greet him personally and pay attention to him to show his kindness.

As soon as he arrived at the foot of the city, he heard someone going to open the city gate, so he pulled a soldier over and asked, "What's going on?"

During the questioning, the caliph also looked at the top of the city, and saw that the crowd was in a commotion, without the seriousness that a soldier should have, and without military discipline at all.

"Back... back to the general, the troops from the city have returned. They successfully wiped out the rebel army and captured Alexander Qin alive." The person who answered was a little scared, trembling all over.

The Caliph was overjoyed when he heard the words, and succeeded.

This is really great, and Alexander Qin was captured alive, and he did not let down his wine, meat and food in vain.

But just as joy crept into his heart, Caliph frowned and asked, "How many troops have you returned? Have you checked the pass? Have you asked for the password?"
