At the southern end of the valley, Sun Xiurong's main force also encountered a bad situation.

The commander of the Dashi Infantry Army, who was ambushing the valley, was obviously an excellent general. After learning that there was an enemy attack behind and the enemy cavalry came in front, he immediately decided to give up the ambush and arranged a formation on the oasis area at the exit of the valley under the cover of the Nasr cavalry who had already left the city to pursue the Tang army.

A large infantry formation of three thousand people, this person only left two thousand people in the valley to deal with Suha.

A bad formation with hedgehogs all over his body!

If only this big formation was the only one, Sun Xiurong had a hundred ways to deal with him, but the situation was different at the moment. Only five miles away from him, Nasr's main cavalry could reach him in a moment!

If Suha's heavy army camp is here, he can of course let him deal with this hedgehog formation, but Suha is still fighting hard on the other side of the ambush circle at this time.

But he still has time, an extremely short time.

Nasr's brigade of cavalry is still five miles away from here. At the speed of the cavalry, it will be within five minutes at most. However, they set out from Samo Jiancheng, which is dozens of miles away from the mountain pass. It is impossible for them to keep running at high speed. They will definitely slow down when approaching the mountain pass.

In other words, the time left for Sun Xiurong is five to ten minutes.

Is this time enough to deal with the hedgehog array in front of you?

The answer is yes.

Just as Nasr, who knew the city, caught up with him, he immediately let the weakest combat power Li Jincai Light Barracks occupy a small hill on the way and set up a formation on it.

At that time, once Nasr brigade passes here, he will definitely be shot by the light barracks. Based on the safety of the back formation, Nasr either divides his troops to attack Li Jincai or slows down his progress.

No matter what, it will create enough time for Sun Xiurong to deal with the hedgehog array.

Even so, just in case, Sun Xiurong still asked Geshu Minnu, who had the most powerful combat power in the cavalry battalion to take 500 people to guard the Nasr brigade suddenly appeared.

After the arrangement was made, Sun Xiurong slowly approached the Hedgehog formation with the remaining 1,500 men.

When approaching the hedgehog formation about one mile, the brigade stopped and the powerful crossbow camp shot the hedgehog formation for the first time!

Then it stopped again at a distance of about two hundred steps, and the crossbow camp shot again!

The so-called ejection actually refers to an effective blow formed at the best angle, rather than letting the strong crossbow point at the sky casually, so that the damage caused by the arrow branches will be extremely limited after they land.

After two strikes, the three thousand hedgehog formation was significantly affected, but these big food soldiers were wearing helmets and wearing chain mail, and the overall formation was still intact.

Sun Xiurong led the brigade to continue moving forward. After approaching the shooting range of a stone-powered bow and arrow, the brigade stopped for the third time - this is the limitation of the infantry. No matter how powerful you are, you can only stay where you are and passively accept the enemy's attacks - what? The horse-riding infantry? Looking at the whole world, only the Tang Dynasty soldiers in the middle and early stages have this ability and level, and the same is true for the entire feudal dynasty.

At this distance, the strong crossbow camp can only shoot flat, while the archers can shoot.

"Dongdong..."

The drum sounded when the powerful crossbow camp was ordered to shoot. The five hundred crossbows shot out five hundred heavy arrows at the angle of flat shooting. At the same time, a thousand archers also shot out arrows in the posture of shooting!

After launching this wave, the hedgehog array on the opposite side immediately changed!

Originally, the Hedgehog array was a nearly square formation with spears stretched out from all sides, as dense as spiders, which made people intimidate. If there were archers in the formation at this time, it would be an attackable and acceptable formation. However, it is still in the pre-medieval era, and a formation like the Spanish large array will take thousands of years to appear. The Great Food Infantry, which has accepted the Roman tactics, would not have thought of this.

The flat shot of the 500-strong crossbow just now made a huge gap immediately appear on the side of the Shattered Ye Jun!

About 200 large soldiers fell to the ground. When the crossbow was shot at close range, even if there was a chain mail protection, most of them would be shot by heavy arrows with strong kinetic energy and drilled into the body. Some chain mails also prevented the heavy arrows from being shot. However, although the heavy arrows could not break the chain mail after contact with the armor, they could damage the bones. The pain caused in an instant could also cause them to lose their combat effectiveness in a short time.

At this time, Sun Xiurong still did not order the cavalry to break into the formation to fight, because the hedgehog formation looked as dense as a spider web from the outside, as if it was easy to break in the middle. In fact, there were still layers of spears in the middle. However, because of the protection of the spear outside, the spearmen in the middle would just put away the spears. Once the outermost layer was broken, the spearmen behind would naturally take over their positions.

At this time, a strange action of the Forced Crossbow Camp appeared.

As mentioned earlier, the so-called powerful crossbow camp has a maximum force of only three stones, but for ordinary soldiers, they also need to step on the crossbow body with their feet, and then lift the crossbow string with both hands to skew the string. However, it was carried out on the ground. Since Nasr's cavalry is about to arrive soon, if all the powerful crossbow camps are dismounted, they will definitely be attacked by the enemy cavalry.

Sun Xiurong has long considered this section.

The soldiers from the Crossbow Camp were in groups of two, one holding the crossbow body in both hands, while the other hooked a rope on the crossbow string. As the war horses slowly ran, the two quickly put the crossbow string on the war horse!

This is another place where the Broken Ye Army is different from the Tang army. When the Tang army's strong crossbow camp arrived at the combat site, it must have been dismounted. I never thought that it could be completed on the battle horse. Of course, this requires a lot of training from the strong crossbow camp. At the moment of finishing the string, you need to remove the hook as fast as possible, otherwise the crossbow string will be in danger of being pulled off.

In any case, after a little panic, the strong crossbow camp had already put the crossbow string on it. After reorganizing the formation, it shot another flat shot at the gap that had been opened!

At this time, enemy cavalry had already appeared on the oasis in the distance, but Sun Xiurong gritted his teeth and rushed towards the gap with a thousand cavalry!

The moment they approached the gap, the cavalry shot out the last band of arrows with their short crossbows in their hands. Just as the enemy's patience had reached its peak and was about to collapse, a thousand cavalry divided into two brigades and cut in one in front and one behind!

“Rumbling…”

When Sun Xiurong led the cavalry brigade to pass through the hedgehog formation, Nasr's cavalry brigade also arrived at the scene!

But once the hedgehog formation is pierced by the cavalry, it will definitely fall apart. The infantry without the protection of the formation are scattered all over the field one by one. Even if the spears in their hands are still shining with cold light on the winter morning, it is useless. At this time, Sun Xiurong left a cavalry battalion to continue chasing them on the spot. He brought a battalion to the other side of the Nasr cavalry formation!

At this time, Nasr Camp on the war horse saw the situation where his infantry army was defeated. Seeing this, his heart was not only bleeding.

In fact, only a few of these infantrymen, known as Damascus, were from Damascus. Most of them were Persians and some Turks from the four cities of Khorasan. They just accepted the military preparations and tactics of the authentic Damascus infantry. Such a formation had made many achievements in fighting against Sulu's Turkish cavalry. Unexpectedly, after meeting the Tang army, they were defeated in a short time!

But this is more than that that worried him.

At this time, the Dashi Cavalry inherited the characteristics of authentic Arab light cavalry. In addition to a robe and a small amount of leather armor, there were almost no armor. The weapons were also cavalry and scimitars. The three thousand cavalry looked very powerful, but if they encountered real heavy cavalry, they were still a little scared.

The cavalry battalion in Sun Xiurong's Thunder Ye Army is such a cavalry. Of course, his cavalry battalion is only on the head of the horse and the neck of the horse is wrapped with a layer of cotton armor to prevent the enemy from throwing arrows. The cavalry only has one piece of cotton armor, and its weapons are only long spears and cavalry knives, but it is already quite "heavy" compared to the Dashi Cavalry.

“Woo…”

This is the order that the personal guards around Sun Xiurong used the command of the Green Niu Changjiao from the Sake Yechuan to order the Geshuminu Cavalry Battalion to attack.

Geshuminu's camp head is the oldest among the 1,500 cavalrymen in the Talas Brigade, with an average age of about twenty years old, so naturally the strongest. Even so, not everyone can use tiger spears. Among the five hundred people, only one hundred of them used tiger spears, and the remaining four hundred were ordinary riding spears.

But every cavalryman has a short crossbow in his hand!

At present, Geshuminu held the Chango given to him by his master Steyranmian in his right hand, and held a short crossbow in his left hand. Looking at the densely packed cavalry in front of him, it would be impossible to be nervous. Since the establishment of the army, whether it was the Battle of Stone Fort or the Battle of Asha Fort, it would either win by surprise or rely on the fortress to deal with the enemy. This is the first time that the cavalry battle with hard bridges and hard horses is being fought.

It is naturally the first time for the young soldiers. They have participated in battles in their respective tribes, but they are not the turn of their turn to take the lead when there are young and strong people. But the situation is different now. They not only have to engage in cavalry battles with the enemy, but also have to fight in a situation where the number is far less than that of the enemy!

"Dadadada"

Geshuminu activated the war horse. Perhaps it was the common robe of the enemies in front that made him relieved, or perhaps it was because he was facing this situation as a Zoroastrian and suddenly thought of the battle between the Venerable Light and the Demon King of Darkness, which made him suddenly have a great sense of mission.

As Geshu Minu rushed out first, the cavalry, who was already a little nervous, gave up their timidity in an instant and rushed forward.

The length of the Geshuminu Chang's blade is about one foot long, and the middle finger is pointed straight forward. In fact, it is a spearhead, the little finger and the ring finger, which is a "grab" shape. The nails on the blade are downwards, and can actually be used to hit. The thumb is tilted outward, which is similar to the barb of the tiger gun.

But what gave him further strength was not this strange weapon, but a short crossbow in his left hand!

In an instant, he couldn't help but wonder about the Zoroastrianism he believed in since childhood, because Chang'o was the weapon given to him by his master and the weapon he practiced for a young age. But just now, it did not bring him more motivation. Instead, the short crossbow that had not been practicing for a long time gave him great confidence and motivation!

Just as I was thinking, the big food cavalry in a white robe in front was already in front of me!
Chapter completed!
