Chapter 569: Engagement
Jia Ke saw that the other party had snatched this general back into the formation, and he didn't think so, so he turned around and slapped his horse in the direction of Xiao Yue and the others.
Izumi Leo and Xiao Yue have been battling for nearly 100 rounds, and now both are a little tired.
But these two people are both generals who see six ways and listen to all directions, although they are fighting with their opponents, they also see the situation on the battlefield carefully.
They saw that Jia Ke was so brave that he had killed all four or five generals in a few breaths, and now they were rushing to this side.
Xiao Yue was naturally excited, and the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand was a little faster.
Seeing this situation, Izumi Leo was a little flustered and couldn't help but be a little in a hurry, and he couldn't resist it in the next few rounds, and when he saw that Jia Ke was about to come, he didn't dare to delay, and struggled to set up Xiao Yue's three-pointed and two-edged knife, and fled towards the main formation.
Xiao Yue didn't expect the other party to escape, so he didn't have time to catch up, and by the time he reacted, he was already close to his big array
And Jia Ke came to Xiao Yue unhurriedly, and did not chase after the other party's general, but returned to his own camp with Xiao Yue.
Arslen Khan saw that he was losing his troops in front of the battle, and knew in his heart that if his side was to fight alone, he might not be able to defeat Jia Ke.
So Arslen Khan directly ordered his troops to prepare for a decisive battle with Jake.
Jia Ke returned to the large formation, came to the rear of the troops, and watched from the high platform as the Tatars on the opposite side had begun to move forward, which was the rhythm of the battle with himself.
Jia Ke was naturally not afraid, Jia Ke immediately waved the command flag, and the infantry under his command began to advance according to the order of the command flag.
The first was the Shieldmen, a class that Jake had re-established since his reign, allowing them to raise large shields against the Tatars' bows and arrows at the beginning, in order to reduce the losses of their own spearmen.
After the shieldmen, there were the English longbowmen, who fought the English longbows several times before, but they made great achievements, and each time they inflicted great damage on the enemy.
Behind them were the spearmen of the Macedonian phalanx, who were the main force against the Tatars, and as long as the spearmen were not in disarray, the Tatars could never win.
As the troops kept approaching, people on both sides could already see each other's faces.
And this is the shield hand in front of Jia Ke's array, who has stopped advancing and erected the great shield high.
And the English spearmen behind the shield bearers have also drawn their bows and arrows and started to attack non-stop.
And this time, the infantry under the command of Arslen Khan is no longer the rabble on the steppe as before, they are all warriors from the Western Regions, and these people are also very accustomed to foot combat, so they naturally have a set of their combat methods.
I saw these people holding a round shield in one hand and a steel knife in the other, trotting towards Jia Ke's team. This was the desire to get close to Jaco's troops as soon as possible and then engage them.
Behind these sword players, there were archers, and now these archers also began to shoot non-stop, hoping to disrupt Jia Ke's deployment and reduce the number of opponents blocking.
Later, they were spearmen like Jia Ke, but their spears were very different from Jia Ke's, Jia Ke's spears were several zhang long, and they were only more than a zhang long at most.
But the war once again showed the power of the English longbows, which were so long and powerful that they disrupted the Tartar archers in just a few rounds, causing them heavy losses.
And the sword and shield men in front of the Tatars, their shields could not withstand the power of England's success, and they would be shot through almost as soon as they touched the shield, and the men under the shield were also immediately killed.
This time the Tatars are a bit chaotic, they are not the Tatar headquarters, they are just slaves and mercenaries from the Western Regions, and they do not have the will of the Tatars.
Therefore, just this has already frightened them, and now when they see that the losses are so serious, where can they hold out and immediately start people to flee, and as soon as one of these things appears, it will turn into an avalanche.
Soon the Tatar foot soldiers were in disarray, fleeing towards their own camp in droves, but Jaco's English longbowmen, with their long range and great power, continued to attack.
Knowing that these Arslen Khan's infantry escaped beyond the firing range, they had already suffered considerable losses.
After seeing this situation, Arslen Khan was angry. These Westerners look tall and big, but they are as timid as rats, and they are just in danger of some lives, so they are in chaos.
Arslen Khan could order his men to regroup those who had fled.
After about a stick of incense, the escaped independence and mercenaries were regrouped.
This time, Arslen Khan's cavalry, as the overseer, as long as these people dare to escape, they will immediately kill all these fleeing people, so as to deter.
Seeing this situation, the Western slaves and mercenaries in front of them could only reluctantly launch another charge, knowing that there was no way out, they could only try their best to break through Jia Ke's formation.
So this time these infantrymen were desperate, and they didn't dare to stop even if the losses were great.
On Jia Ke's side, the English longbow kept smashing towards the opponent like raindrops, and when the opponent was about to approach Jia Ke's formation, it was already more than half of the loss.
The next thing to look at was the spearmen, the English longbowmen followed the flanks of the troops, withdrew to the rear and continued the attack, while the spearmen at this time moved forward and resisted the opposing infantry.
The two sides were in a duel of spearmen, but because the spears on Jaco's side were too long, the spears on the Tatar side could not reach Jako's troops.
Coupled with the successful and non-stop attacks of England in the rear, the Tatars suffered heavy losses due to their inadequacy, and they were soon all wiped out in front of the formation.
Arslen Khan saw this situation in the rear is his heart was cold, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, these infantry on several sides to say that it was not in vain, although a little timid, but after all, it is a tall man, if you charge hard, you will also have some combat effectiveness, but I didn't expect that it didn't even last an hour in front of Jia Ke's formation, and the whole army was wiped out.
was in the stunned kung fu of Arslen Khan, Jia Ke saw that the other party was already defeated, where could he let go of such an opportunity.
Jia Ke immediately waved the command flag on the high platform, ordered the cavalry on both flanks to start charging, and at the same time ordered the infantry in the middle to also advance forward.
Seeing that Jia Ke had begun to charge, Arslen Khan knew that he could not be defeated at this time, so he hurriedly ordered his cavalry to resist Jia Ke's cavalry charge on both flanks, and at the same time ordered the remaining slaves and mercenaries to move forward to resist Jia Ke's infantry, so a chaotic battle began on this plain.
It should be said that the cavalry is equal in all aspects, but the warriors of the Eight Banners on Jia Ke's side are well-equipped, while the Tatar side is brave, but the equipment is so poor that almost no one approves the armor, so this contact immediately shows its superiority.
Although the Tatar cavalry attacked the other side, the equipment of the two sides showed a disparity, and Jia Ke's cavalry was as if it were one or two stabs, while the Tatars would immediately roll into the saddle and dismount as soon as they were wounded, and then they would be trampled into pulp.
And the battle in the middle is even more gap, these slaves and mercenaries are not strong-willed, not to mention that their own side has already been defeated, where will desperately fight one of the contacts, there are casualties and flee to the rear, this time even Arslen Khan is useless, he only has a few days of personal soldiers next to him, and now where can he stop the escape of tens of thousands of people in the past.
Now Arslen Khan can only hope that his cavalry can withstand the stragglers that Jia Ke gathered from the steppe.
Knowing that it backfired, the Tatar cavalry was soon defeated by the Manchu Eight Banners, and after no longer caring about the incessant shouting of the leaders of the tribes, they rode fast horses and kept running towards the large array of several sides, really afraid of being caught up by the other party.
Jia Ke couldn't help but smile as he watched his cavalry victory on the high platform and was pursuing the other party.
He thought in his heart: Arslen Khan, you have only come a few times, and you are also the defeated general of my subordinates, instead of fighting guerrilla warfare with me on the grassland, but fighting a tough battle with me, if you don't die, heaven will not tolerate it.
At this time, Arslen Khan also saw that the defeat of his troops was imminent, but he did not particularly panic, because he still had a hole card that was useless.
Arslen Khan saw that if he didn't play this hole card again, he might be defeated again this time. So he waved the flag.
With the wave of the flag, the gate behind him opened again, and only a loud rumbling sound was heard, as if it was thunder.
Jia Ke also saw the other party in front of the formation, something was wrong, and then it was as if he heard thunder in the sky, and then he saw the other party open the door, and a group of iron-armored monsters came out of it.
When Jia Ke saw this situation, he was immediately shocked, and he put his hand on the pergola and looked carefully at the opposite side.
This look made Jia Ke discover the clue, it turned out that the other party was thousands of ironclad cavalry.
These ironclad cavalry are different from the Iron Floating Massacre in the Central Plains. Although the Tiefutu in the Central Plains also wears iron armor, usually in groups of three, soldiers and horses all wear heavy iron armor, and then connect each other with iron cables, but the iron armor here is just a fish scale armor composed of iron pieces.
And these ironclad cavalry in the West, all of them are tall and big, but they are covered with heavy plate armor, and even the war horses under their crotches are tightly protected, these people are real steel monsters.
When Jia Ke saw this situation, he didn't expect it, and couldn't help frowning, the current situation is not good, if he lets this ironclad cavalry charge, he is afraid that his side will be chopped into pulp by this ironclad cavalry.
And when Arslen Khan appeared on this ironclad cavalry, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
This army was formed by him with great effort, each of them was from a noble background, and all the small countries in the Western Regions were the generals who commanded the army, and each small country could dominate one side with dozens of knights.
After Arslen Khan conquered the Western Regions, he organized all the scattered ironclad cavalry, and finally formed this 5,000-strong army.
