"Charge!" Captain Duan Huaixian gave an order, the sergeant of the Xia State Praetorian Guard took off the horse lance that was placed in front of the saddle, Zhao Xingde gently urged the mount, and the Ming Hongdu cavalry followed him and trotted up. The cavalry column galloped out of the camp gate and gradually spread out in formation, each hundred men lined up in a horizontal formation, and the centurion was in the middle of the cavalry. After arranging the formation, the sergeants placed the reins in front of the saddle, controlled the horses with their waists and legs, and raised the horses with their arms free. The horses began to speed up gradually, and the wind whistled in their ears.

The war horse ran up a small hill, and Zhao Xingde saw the vast battlefield, and several neat battalions of Lumei heavy cavalry were speeding up in front. The Antioch cavalry had been mixed up with the reflexive fleeing Turkic cavalry. The Antioch cavalry were heavily armoured, and they had a great advantage in the Turkic cavalry, which was only lightly armoured. The Turkic cavalry fled, while bending their bows and shooting arrows, the closer they got to the center of the battlefield, the more chaotic the formation of the cavalry on both sides, and countless small battlefields were formed in the vast wilderness, flying everywhere, and there were battlefields everywhere. Hordes of Turkic cavalry desperately urged their horses, and at critical times, the speed of the horses was the difference between life and death.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the left, and Zhao Xingde turned his eyes to see more than a hundred Antioch cavalry galloping on horseback, rushing out of the melee area, maintaining the formation and making an arc, and then brandishing his long sword, once again urging the war horse to enter the center of the battlefield.

The more chaotic the battlefield, the more silent Zhao Xingde's mind became, and the neighing of the war horses and the shouts of both sides were suddenly ignored. His soul seemed to be divided into two, one crouching behind his horse, the other in the sky, overlooking the battle with an emotionless gaze.

The arrows broke through the air, the swords and swords shadowed, the killing sound was boiling, and the ghosts cried wolves. In Zhao Xingde's eyes, the groups of Turkic cavalry were like rays radiating from the center of the battlefield, which was their desperate attempt to get rid of the unfavorable situation of intersecting with the white blades of the heavy cavalry. The formation of the Lumei heavy cavalry and the Antioch cavalry spread out like arcs, trying to catch and eat those fleeing rays. These rays and arcs are constantly in motion, chasing, touching, colliding, brief scuffles, intersecting and separating. The straight ray head escapes from the battlefield without looking back, while the arc turns back again and again, intercepting the few rays that have not yet fled the battlefield. There were more and more Lumei heavy cavalry on the battlefield, while the Turkic cavalry became less and less.

"Kill!" Wang Tongdeng was the first to encounter the Turkic cavalry, his arms were vigorous, the long lance trembled slightly, and the blade smeared with the panicked enemy, and the horse lance turned slightly, unloading the momentum. In the midst of lightning and fire, he pulled the tip of the lance away from the enemy's corpse and pointed forward again. The elite cavalry of the Xia Kingdom was the first to charge, and was almost invincible among the Turkic cavalry who had no time to escape. The Praetorian Guards of the Xia Kingdom followed behind the vanguard cavalry, and there were few stubborn enemy troops encountered.

A Turkic cavalryman rushed over with a scimitar, and Zhao Xingde collected his mind, and his arms danced the horse lance, the tip of which was facing the direction of the enemy. The Turks leaned on their horses, trying to dodge the blades of their horses and bully them into hand-to-hand combat. At the moment when the two horses were about to stagger, Zhao Xingde's arms were strong, and the long lance was like a spirit snake swinging its tail. The Turkic cavalry saw that he had avoided the blade, and with a hint of joy in his eyes, he stepped forward and leveled his scimitar. At the last moment, the front section of the mallet "snapped" and slapped on the iron helmets of the Turkic cavalry. The tremendous momentum and the whipping of the lance broke his neck. Zhao Xingde's arms also felt a burst of soreness, and his luck shook the horse lance, and with the help of the elasticity of the lance, he offset the momentum, and barely held the horse lance without letting go. Life and death are only in the breath, but Zhao Xingde is much calmer than before, and he didn't look at the Turkic cavalry hanging on horseback, his legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, and followed the battalion.

Although the Turks were defeated and defeated, they relied on their armor and horses to flee for their lives, and very few were really cut off by the Lumei heavy cavalry. In the open field, the corpses of the men and horses killed in battle were very sparse, and it was not long before the Turkic cavalry was no longer visible on the battlefield. Antiochus and Lumei's heavy cavalry jumped off their horses and rummaged for the spoils of war on the dead Turkic cavalry. Duan Huaixian took the sergeant of the Chengying Battalion around, sorted out the cavalry column, and slowly ran back to the camp. None of the sergeants of the Chengying Battalion were killed or injured in this battle.

In addition to the Xia Kingdom Praetorian Guards maintaining the formation, there were also some Lumei heavy cavalry who started late because they had no suitable goals, and patrolled the battlefield in circles. If they recognize the corpse of the Turkic who was "indeed" killed by the camp, and the friendly forces in the vicinity are weak, they will surround them and coerce them to hand over the spoils. According to the rules of the Lumei army, whoever kills the enemy has the right to take the spoils of war from the enemy. It's a pity that the battlefield situation just now was too chaotic, and the exact combat exploits could not be calculated during the galloping impact of the war horses. In the battle just now, after killing the enemy, some Lumei cavalry actually broke away from their own team and chased the war horse dragging the corpse away from the battlefield. The knights of Antioch were also the fastest to snatch the spoils of war, and the formed Antioch army was almost completely invisible on the battlefield. Now, some battalions began to confront each other around the corpses, and even fought with each other for the spoils of war.

Wherever the Xia Guard's Praetorian Guards passed, the friendly troops were all nervous, and the soldiers who were groping on the corpses of the enemy also stood up with their weapons in their hands, looking at them vigilantly with hostile eyes. The noblest and reserved knights also rode their horses in front of the corpses of the enemy as if they were facing a great enemy, like beasts guarding carrion, waiting for their retinues to come up and search for the corpses. This left a deep impression on Zhao Xingde.

Wang Tongdeng looked at the knights who jumped off their horses with disdain, and sighed: "If there are 5,000 hussars suddenly killed now, Guan Bao these guys will not be able to eat and walk around." "The Xia Guard's Guards also killed hundreds of Turkic cavalry, but the war horses carrying the corpses had long been out of sight.

Zhao Xingde joked with a smile: "It's a pity that there was no way to mark when we rushed into battle, and the Turks who were killed by us just now don't know where they died. He quickly retracted his smile and thought for a moment. The Turkic cavalry paid attention only to the camps of the main columns of the Lumei State, which were camped a few miles apart. But the Antioch army was not found more than a dozen miles away. This caused the Antiochan army to appear behind them, and the Turkic cavalry panicked and fled without organizing a counterattack. If this makes sense, then the Turkic cavalry was too orderly to break away from the battlefield. Zhao Xingde still remembered those rays that escaped quickly, and they left almost at the same time, neither trampling on each other, nor completely losing their formation. "Panic" is "panic", but "chaos" is not necessarily.

"There are very few corpses on the battlefield, and this is a very efficient retreat." Zhao Xingde said secretly, he lightly lifted the reins of the horse, and Da Wanma ran lightly, and he had to come to the side of the captain Duan Huaixian.

Duan Huaixian frowned as if he was thinking about something, and when he saw Zhao Xingde coming up, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Xingde hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The last general thinks that the Turks may be defeated. He thought about it many times in his heart.

"Oh?" Duan Huaixian picked up the reins on the saddle and slowed down the horse slightly, "How can you see it?" ”

"This," Zhao Xingde was a little speechless for a while, those Turkic cavalry escaped too calmly, it was just his strong feeling, he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for the early preparation, under the sudden flanking attack, the Turkic cavalry would never have been killed or wounded." ”

Duan Huaixian's eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly: "That's all? ”

Zhao Xingde straightened out his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "The Lumei army fights in accordance with the rules, although it is not easy to win a big victory, it is not easy to be defeated. If the Turks want to win, they must find ways to mess up the Lumei army. The first point is to let the Lumei army leave the coast, which will not be supplied by sea and will lose the support of the fortress. The Turks annihilated the Northern Army, burned down the fortress of Lumei, and hung the head of General Andro on a large gun, which angered the Emperor Lumei. Now this deception is likely to be a ploy of the Turks. Emperor Lumei was both angry and underestimated the actual combat power of the Turks. Perhaps they will leave the coast and rashly attack the wintering pastures of the Roma Turks. As he thought about it, he said that there were many doubts that had not been thought through, and the more he said, the more logical it became, as if he had seen through the intentions of the Sultan of Rûm.

Marching Sima Huang Zongdao followed behind, and when he heard this, he exclaimed: "If according to what you said, the Roma Turks are willing to sacrifice the lives of so many clansmen in order to stage this scene? He glanced behind him, and although the corpses of men and horses in the wilderness were extremely sparse, there were always one or two thousand. The cost of such a deception is too great.

Zhao Xingde was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously calculated people's hearts so sinisterly, he was also a little stunned. His face changed slightly, and he was silent and did not speak. Duan Huaixian said lightly: "As long as Emperor Lumei can be tricked and annihilate the elite of Lumei Kingdom in one battle, from now on, Haixi Land will be the world of the Roma Turks." He turned his head to look at Zhao Xingde and nodded, "Very good." He sighed and said, "After all, our battalion is a guest army, and so far, I have to do my best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Sure enough, Duan Huaixian proposed at the military conference that the Turks were likely to lure the Lumei army to advance, but they were quickly drowned out in the gossip of the Lumei generals. The old emperor Alexei could not withstand the stimulation of the annihilation of the northern army, and the generals of the columns were not satisfied with the meager results, and after a night of deliberation, finally decided to leave the coast and continue eastward. Bermond II, the Grand Duke of Antioch, was full of confidence because of his great contribution to today's victory, and took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the vanguard column of the whole army.

Not long after leaving the coast, the inland terrain gradually undulated. Lu Mei's army had a very difficult march, and had to march along narrow roads between hills, and there were many hills between the east-west roads, and it was inconvenient for the left and right flanks to echo each other. As a result, the marching column of the Lumei army, which covered the main force from the left and right flanks, became the Antioch army as the vanguard, the column led by Crown Prince John as the rearguard, and the Alexei Emperor led the main elite of the Lumei army to march in the middle. In order to prevent the Turks from sneak attacking, the advance light cavalry was released far away every day, on the one hand, to choose a camp suitable for camping, and on the other hand, to reconnoiter the movements of the Turks.
