The cavalry played in the style of infantry.

This was a novelty, and the Sabbatarian was momentarily stunned, and the whole cavalry split in two, scattered left and right, and headed towards the two wings of the rebel cavalry, avoiding the javelin projection from the front.

Shine your heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry were all dressed in iron or bronze armor.

Strictly speaking, they are not really heavy horses, and there is still a gap between them and Xu Ding's formation of a right cavalry guard in Dahan.

The right cavalry guard, also known as the Xuanjia guard, is wrapped in thick chain mail, and the weapons are mainly blunt weapons, and the horses are carefully selected high-headed horses, which are majestic and powerful.

That's the real mobile steel fortress.

But the rest in front of me is much less interesting.

Not to mention that the equipment is not uniform, and the horses are not all the best, but they are relatively light and more protected.

Xu Ding shot a javelin and hit one of the riders.

The knight of rest instantly flew upside down and fell from his horse.

However, the javelins projected by the others were not so strong, and they didn't hurt much when they hit the heavy riders, but they hurt the resting people, and they crooked their hats and tilted their bodies.

"Humph! Break it for me! ”

Xu Ding swung his spear and struck, and a resting soldier who rushed over in front of him instantly flew upside down and fell off his horse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Xu Ding danced his spear left and right, and one by one he had to ride either to death or to fall and fly.

Heavy riding in front of him is a living target.

Where can the resting heavy rider who is unable to move react to it, and he was easily killed by Xu Ding.

"Boom! Qiang ......"

Perhaps this was not a special case, and the other soldiers were engaged more normally, with the rebel cavalry swinging their swords and fighting the Sabbatarians, and the weapons of both sides clashed or struck on the armor.

It doesn't hurt the rest of the rider.

This made the Sabbatarians proud.

However, when they swung their swords and slashed at the rebel cavalry, they could not kill or injure each other.

Because the opponent was very active and lightly avoided, there were even many double horses missed, and he turned around and stabbed his sword at the weak point of the rear wing of the heavy horseman.

Some even stabbed directly into the hips and legs of the horses, and in short, the unprotected places were attacked by the rebel cavalry.

Of course, the Roman cavalry could not do this, but with the stirrups, the rebel cavalry could do a lot of difficult movements, and they could do it with their bodies and hands touching the ground.

Therefore, under this round of riotous operation, Anxi Heavy Cavalry did not lose in the head-to-head duel, and was blinded by this series of counterattacks.

One by one, they fell off their horses, all the heavy cavalry were killed, and the rebel cavalry successfully killed them head-on.

Leaving the wings to outflank their rest, the light horsemen were messy in the wind for a long time.

"This ......"

The Sabbaths at the head of Hatra were dumbfounded.

This turned out to be the exact opposite of what they had expected.

The rebels easily broke through the heavy cavalry in front of them, and all the heavy cavalry of our resting people were killed.

Especially Xu Ding's performance just now surprised them.

Rampage, spears passed, like a crushing force unstoppable.

"Humph! This is just the beginning, even if we accidentally get their tricks, the real showdown is still light riding. ”

Someone said unwillingly.

The others chimed in, and then glanced at the caliph.

The boss hasn't spoken yet.

On the battlefield, after a short period of distraction, all the rest light horsemen had red eyes, and urged their horses to shout: "Charge, kill them all......"

One left and one right, the rest light horses came to the middle, and chased the rebels from behind. Share.

Although the heavy riders are gone, their light riders are still there, and they still maintain their numbers.

And now they are the attacking side, the pursuing side.

Just rush over and directly crush the rebel cavalry.

This is what they do best.

However, it seems that they were restrained by this, as the rebels collected their swords, replaced them with bows and arrows, and turned back to shoot their arrows.

The angle of the shot is still straight, not a projectile.

"Woo Woo ......"

"Puff ......"

The light horsemen of the Sabbath did not expect that the other party could shoot arrows like this, and everyone could do it.

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

Because the arrow is in contact with the person at an accelerated pace, the arrow will go deeper into the body.

Natural pain and impact are stronger.

The more they chased the rest of the light horsemen, the fewer people they chased, and they were all about to cry when the enemy could turn around and shoot arrows.

This is really a rebel army that has always been in Rome, a rebel army that has always been made up of slaves and slave farmers.

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

"Lost!"

At the head of Hatra City, the caliph's eyes shone slightly, his face turned cold, and he spit out two words in a simple way.

The generals were stunned for a moment, and then they also understood.

To establish the country in peace is to rely on cavalry, and cavalry is the main force of their country.

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

Sure enough, the next moment, Xu Ding also divided his troops and turned around and came back, and then the classic two wings were plagiarized and shot.

Anxi light cavalry knew that he was not an opponent, so he retreated and fled, but in the end, he was not chased by Xu Ding and others, and all of them were wiped out.

The Caliph and his city of Hatra did not send reinforcements to help.

Thus the two thousand Sabbatical cavalry were wiped out.

The beautiful one was destroyed by others.

Eliminated the rest cavalry out of the city, Xu Ding asked the interpreter to continue shouting, but there was no reply in the city, the whole city was on alert, and the infantry archers were full of the city, waiting for Xu Ding and others to attack the city.

"Commander! No matter what we said, there was no answer in the city. The interpreter asked, "Commander, are we going to keep shouting?" I don't think it's necessary, the caliphate is a proud family, the Roman Empire has never conquered this city, and now we have killed two thousand horsemen under their noses, I am afraid that the Scripture will anger them. ”

"If you don't reply, forget it, what kind of arrogance, it's just to die to save face, not to fight in the field, you can only defend the old city and spend your will, the caliphate family is just like this, the rest of the empire can't......" Xu Ding glanced at Hatra City, chuckled and turned away.

At this time, his cavalry had finished cleaning the battlefield, and the horses and weapons were also gathered.

Killing all the way from Rome, Xu Ding only barely captured about 3,000 war horses.

Plus some losses, as well as the elimination of inferior horses for logistics and transportation materials.

The entire cavalry team was maintained at about 1,600 men.

Now that nearly 2,000 good horses have been captured at once, I have to say that it is better to fight the nomads.

If you come a few more times, and the infantry who are not prepared can ride on their horses, then the speed of the battle will be faster.

"By the way, tell the Sabbatarians of Hatra to come and retrieve the body, but remember to pay some money." If I am not mistaken, the rest of the cavalry were mostly nobles, especially those heavy riders wrapped in helmets and armor.

These people are of noble status, and there should be people in Hatra who are willing to redeem the corpses.

Sure enough, after the interpreter shouted this time, there was an echo in the city.

"You are true warriors, now we believe in your sincerity, you have not insulted our knights, as a token of gratitude, we will pay you the corresponding money, and at the same time we will send some food and drinks, and when your army arrives, we can discuss cooperation."

Soon a group of men came out, carrying some wine and food, and of course, the promised ransom.

He unpacked the drinks and food, loaded the corpse and transported it back to the city of Hatra.

That night, Xu Ding drank and sang with everyone, and indulged in wolf howls to celebrate the victory of the day.

The autumn night was a little cool, very cool, the bonfire gradually went out, and the lively noise subsided.

The whole camp was silent.

The gates of Hatra were opened again, and a light horse crept out of the city, and then ran to a sheltered hill ten miles away.

This is the place where Xu Ding camped and rested, except for the bonfire swinging left and right under the wind, and the flags were blown up and down, the whole camp was terrifyingly quiet, as if filled with a rotten smell of death.

Seeing the silent barracks, the men on the horses showed smug smiles, and then urged their horses to rush into the camp, breaking the camp gates with several wooden piles, and drove straight into the hinterland of the camp.

It turned out that the food and wine that the Sabbatarians had given to the rebels were drugged in order to wait for the night attack tonight.

I thought I would have to spend some time on it, but I didn't expect the stupid rebels to really believe their words, and they drank all the wine and ate the food.

Looking at the broken wine jars on the ground, the entire barracks were full of strong smell of alcohol, and there were soldiers pouring all over the place.

"Wait! These soldiers...... It's a straw! ”

Most of the campfires in the camp had long since been extinguished, and the few scattered piles were so faint that if you didn't look closely, you didn't know that the corpses in the camp were all made of grass.

They put on their clothes, weapons and armor, and they looked like drunken and poisoned rebels.

The people of Anxi were shocked, and when they looked around, they saw not a single horse of the rebels, let alone the two thousand captured during the day.

"Fooled, let's go......"

The Sabbatarians urged their horses to leave the camp, but at this moment countless rockets were fired from outside the camp, and arrows were shot from the ridges of the mountain, from where everything in the camp could be seen from above.

The rocket entered the camp and instantly set everything in the camp on fire.

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

The fire raged, and the 2,000-sabbatical army was smoky and slammed around, and the clothes on their bodies were quickly set on fire.

The resting men who rushed to the camp were also shot by the rebels who were lying in ambush outside the camp.

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

The whole mountain recess was in flames, shouting and killing, and people and horses were howling.

The 2,000 resting people who originally wanted to reap the victory and get back the ransom and horses were all folded here this night, and there was no life left.

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

"Commander, there's no more wine to drink, but everyone can at least have a good meal of meat." There are hands to joke.

The crowd burst into laughter.

yes, there's roast horse meat to eat.

More than 2,000 war horses have to be eaten for ten days and eight days.

Xu Ding saw that the general was still so interested, and said with a smile: "If you want to drink, it's simple, let's go to Hatra City tonight to wipe it!" ”

Go...... Go to the city of Hatra!

What does that mean.

"Let's go, assemble the team, let's go to the city, we can fight, we can't fight and sleep when we come back!" 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 deceive the city gate, this excitement.

Soon the horsemen arrived at the city of Hatra, and of course they were well disguised before they came, and the soldiers at the front changed into the armor and clothes of the resting people.

Even the flags were seized during the day, and only the corpses of the resting people were collected during the day, and everything else was confiscated by the rebels.

So this wave of camouflage is really hard to find if you don't look closely.

Moreover, there is Xu Ding himself who is tied up at the front.

Seeing the army return to Sabbatiab, the people were not much suspicious, especially after the people in the city asked how the situation was.

The interpreter of the rebel army replied in a repositorious tone: "Needless to say, the general's strategy is not missing, these rebels are all drunk and poisoned, we used to slaughter sheep as easily, look at who this is, this is the leader of the rebel army, Alexander Qin, this guy didn't drink much, and now he is captured by us, I don't know if I can survive tonight, hurry up and open the city, we can send it to the general, maybe we can ask for some information." ”

When the defenders of the city heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they were all excited.

It was great that the rebels had been wiped out and their leaders were captured alive.

The city suddenly became in turmoil, and the bravery of Alexander Qin during the day was obvious to all.

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

It's amazing to be captured alive now.

So countless heads poked out of the city, and then looked at Xu Ding, who looked like he was drunk and didn't wake up, hanging his head and being tied up with five flowers.

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

"What's the name, don't go and open the city gate yet!" The castle guard kicked one of his subordinates. urged the stock.

The man hurried down to open the gates, and the caliph, who was waiting for news, arrived at the gates with his guards.

Estimating the time, the 2,000 army should come back, but he was still a little unsure, so he came to the city to inspect it himself.

If the 2,000 soldiers succeeded, he should also personally greet and give him attention to show his grace.

As soon as he came to the foot of the city, he heard that a man had gone to open the city gate, so he brought in a soldier and asked, "What is the matter?" ”

During the questioning, the caliph also looked at the city, and saw that there was a commotion in the crowd, and there was no seriousness at all as a soldier should have, and there was no military discipline at all.

"Back to ...... Hui General, it was the troops who went out of the city who returned, they managed to destroy the rebels, and also captured Alexander Qin alive. The person who replied replied with some fear, and his whole body was trembling.

When Harry heard this, he was first overjoyed and succeeded.

It's really good that he captured Alexander Qin alive, and he didn't live up to his wine, meat and food in vain.

But as soon as joy crept into his heart, the caliph frowned and hurriedly asked, "How many troops have returned?" Checked the pass? Have you asked the password? ”
