Chapter 1542: Fighting in Turns

The Western Karakhanid cavalry were not afraid of the crossbow shooting. They quickly divided into two teams and waved their scimitars to attack from both wings.

"Spear charge!"

Seeing the enemies in front of him move aside, Yang Zhi roared again, put away his longbow, replaced it with a spear and began to attack.

The best thing about the Lancers is surprise attack. They are unstoppable when attacking the enemy head-on unless they encounter heavily armored troops or bunkers.

Yang Zhi's army attacked at a very fast speed. They were still charging while they were shooting just now, and their horses never stopped.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The army of the Western Karakhanid Khanate was suddenly a little panicked. They thought that the enemy's longbow shooting would slow down their speed, but they did not expect that the enemy had no momentum to stop charging. Now they had changed to long spears and had already charged close to them, while the cavalry in front had already moved left and right. The central army looked at the enemy rushing in front of them in astonishment, and it was too late to get out of the way.

"kill!"

As the shouts and cries of killing grew louder, Yang Zhi led his army like a wolf among a flock of sheep. Wherever the army went, the soldiers of the Western Karakhanid Khanate were shot and fell off their horses.

This result stunned the Western Liao army. The Macedonian phalanx had blocked Qi's heavy armored infantry, which boosted their morale and made them think that the gap between themselves and Qi was not that big.

But as soon as the cavalry engaged, they discovered something was wrong. The enemy's fighting power was too terrifying, and the 10,000 scimitar cavalry of the Western Karakhanid Khanate were no match at all.

"how so."

Mahmud looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. The scimitar cavalry under his command were all warriors in the desert and they had never failed in their charges.

"I've already said it, this Qi army is not simple!"

Ibrahim smiled and said that among the four Khans, the troops he brought this time had been completely lost and became a joke, but he did not think there was a problem with his ability. He believed that the enemy was too strong and the outcome would be the same no matter who went. Now it seems that he was right.

The Golden Sword Battalion charged in a cone formation. The vanguard of the cone formation was sharp and swift, while the two wings were strong and powerful. When charging, it was like a shot arrow, able to quickly break through and tear apart the enemy's formation, and then expand the victory results through the two wings and digest them.

However, Yang Zhi did not deploy the two wings to expand the victory, but used a long and narrow formation to directly penetrate the enemy's formation.

"Longbow, shoot!"

Yang Zhi was about to break through the enemy's formation, and the enemies also tried to avoid him, and he immediately let out a loud roar.

The cavalry on both wings quickly switched to longbows and began to shoot rapidly. The longbows fired at close range, which made the dodging enemies despair. They thought they could just avoid the attack, but arrows flew towards them.

The army of the Western Karakhanid Khanate suddenly fell into chaos. They ignored any formation and fled far away on their horses. The cavalrymen collided with each other in a disorderly manner, making the scene even more chaotic.

The performance of the Golden Sword Battalion surprised the Qi army. The Golden Sword Battalion had always been very low-key in the army. The soldiers, like Yang Zhi, didn't talk much.

"Is this the earliest main battle camp of Qi State?"

  The rest of the troops were thinking silently in their hearts that many of the troops that had just obtained the numbers also knew that it was not easy to get the numbers. If they did not have the matching combat power, then they would not be able to get the numbers firmly!

"This is the Golden Sword Camp!"

  Xin Qiji said with his eyes wide open in disbelief, this kind of tactics of strict discipline and free switching was only something he had thought about in his head. After all, there were thousands of people, who could make them all work together?

But the Golden Sword Battalion in front of them did it. After shooting back the enemy with longbows, they switched to spears again, opened their wings, and only then began to expand their victory results.

"This is the purpose of long-term training. The purpose of military training is to unite the whole army. The strength of one battalion is far greater than that of ten thousand people!"

Sun Lei said that whoever is more united on the battlefield is more likely to win.

"Your Majesty, can we do the same?"

Lu You looked at Sun Lei with some excitement and asked, "It depends on whether you need it! Not everything is suitable for you. You need to find the tactics and methods that best suit you!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said, people are all different, and the method of training soldiers cannot be the same. Only by giving full play to their respective advantages can the strongest combat power be unleashed.

The chaotic army of the Western Karakhanid Khanate was now completely powerless to resist.

"Kill!"

The Western Karakhanid cavalry that had been flanking the two wings saw the enemy charging into their formation, and they roared and charged towards the enemy's rear, trying to reverse the situation.

"receive!"

When Yang Zhi saw the enemy coming, he immediately ordered the golden sword flags to be waved, and the soldiers who were fighting quickly moved together and formed their battle line in just a moment.

The Western Karakhanid cavalry who came in a roundabout way did not expect the enemy to react so quickly. They wanted to attack the enemy's rear, but the enemy had formed its battle line in just a moment and was now charging towards them.

"kill!"

Yang Zhi did not wait for the enemy to react and led his troops to charge again.

"kill!"

Although the Western Karakhanid cavalry was a little afraid at this time, they also knew that they had no way to retreat and could only charge forward.

This time, Yang Zhi did not order his soldiers to switch to longbows. The enemy was already on guard, and it would be easy for the enemy to get close to them if they switched at this time.

The two cavalry units charged at each other, and the spear cavalry maintained a cone-shaped charge, piercing into the enemy formation like a sharp arrow.

The scimitar cavalry of the Western Karakhanid Khanate were no match at all. The advantages of the scimitar were its light weight, large killing area, and suitability for a variety of occasions, especially melee and close combat, where the scimitar was a more convenient weapon.

But Yang Zhi's Golden Sword Battalion would not give the enemy a chance for close combat. The Golden Sword Battalion had a strict formation, and even if they collided with each other, the formation would not be affected. The spears had a natural advantage in this kind of impact formation.

The Golden Sword Battalion's charge once again pierced through the enemy's formation.

However, the Western Karakhanid cavalry was not afraid. They gathered their cavalry and fought a decisive battle.

"Mahmud, can we still win if we keep fighting like this?"

Ajisi asked. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Mahmud's stealing of the credit just now. Now that the army of the Western Karakhanid Khanate had suffered a setback, he was also happy to see it.

"The main force of our Scimitar Cavalry is still here! Why can't we win?"

Mahmud looked at the men with joking expressions and said coldly that although his army had suffered a setback, the actual casualties were not great, and there were still 8,000 of the 10,000 cavalrymen who could fight.

The gathered army of the Western Karakhanid Khanate once again pounced on the Golden Sword Camp. This time they had no formation, but rushed forward in a disorderly manner as if they were looting normally.

The idea of ​​these cavalrymen of the Western Karakhanid Khanate was very simple. They were not as good as the enemy in terms of formation, so they just charged forward together, adopting the wolf pack tactics. As long as they tore a hole in the enemy's formation, all the people would pounce on it and continuously expand the hole until the enemy was torn into pieces.

The two armies charged at each other again. This time, the cavalry of the Western Karakhanid Khanate was very determined and resisted the attack of Yang Zhi's army with all their might.

However, Yang Zhi's army was not so easily stopped. The light cavalry were also protected by armor, and the enemy's scimitars could not easily cause damage, and the swinging of the spears kept the enemy on the periphery.

The Western Karakhanid Khanate wanted to engage in close combat. As long as they got close, the enemy's spears would lose their advantage and their scimitars would be able to kill everyone.
