Chapter 864: The Quicksand Battle Dare to Be the First

When a remnant moon disappears in the vast west, and the dawn of the east breaks again, a new day finally arrives. The Persian legions, which had been watching for a long time for several days, went out in full force, with a primitive barbaric atmosphere, and pounced on the mouth of the quicksand.

The Persians, who are bound to win, are very terrible once they show their true domineering. Thirty thousand heavily armored troops out of an army of 100,000 were at the front, burly and powerful creatures, and their weapons were not scimitars, but special long axes. Their mounts are also not fiery horses, but specially trained camels.

This heavily armored camel army has very few opportunities to use them. It's not that they don't want to fight, it's that so far there are few opponents worthy of their thunderous blow.

And today, in order to succeed in the First World War, and also to take revenge on the Han army by the most brutal means. That's why they got this opportunity to show off their might.

Don't say they're proud, it's because they have this proud capital. Ordinary cavalry is simply vulnerable in front of the camel army like a small hill, and has no ability to fight at all. The long-handled axe of Zhanghachi was swung and slashed down from a high place, not to mention a sword, even a halberd and a long lance could not parry.

With 30,000 heavy armored troops, the action is simply earth-shattering. Smoke and dust were everywhere, yellow sand billowed and the dunes were shaken. More than ten miles away, you can feel the shaking of the earth. It can be described as a majestic god and invincible.

Behind them were fifty or sixty thousand cavalry troops. They can both concentrate their charges and disperse their raids. Vertical and horizontal, fierce and abnormal.

At the rear were 20,000 Persian foot warriors, whose usual task was to kill and wound prisoners and clean up the battlefield. In the face of such a large formation, it is rare for them to have the opportunity to charge and fight.

More than 100,000 troops were all pressed up, and they were retrograde in the face of the glow that appeared in the east. In the hearts of countless Persian warriors, they may now think of the prosperous country in the East that they are about to see, or they may be nostalgic for their hometown in the distant Western Continent...... And whether they want to plunder or go home, this war in front of them is inevitable.

The general who led the camel heavy armor unit was a guy with a full beard. This is a standard Persian. His limbs are as thick as an ox, and his eyes are cruel and fierce. He looked unruly at the undulating sand dunes that were getting closer and closer, and looked forward to seeing the shadow of the Han Dynasty cavalry soon.

No matter how many enemies appear, he has absolute confidence that he will crush them all under the great axe. The 30,000 heavily armored troops have not been bloodthirsty for a long time, so let's taste the blood of the Han Dynasty!

The distance between the two armies was not far, and in just half an hour, the Persians were already able to see the banner of the Han army in front of them. Near the right side of the flat area of the quicksand mouth, the big flag on the gentle slope flutters in the wind, reflecting the glow, which is very eye-catching. And under that banner, the shadows of the cavalry could already be faintly seen in a row, the swords and armor reflecting the light, as if preparing to charge.

The Persians, who had finally discovered their target, were in high spirits. As long as the prey shows its tracks, there is no chance of escape.

The generals who received the military intelligence briefed them slightly, and they saw that the number of enemies there did not seem to be very large, about a few thousand. Such a small group of soldiers and horses should have been used by the Han army to spy on the truth. In front of an army of 100,000, it is not worth paying too much attention.

Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife! The 30,000 heavily armored camel army, far ahead, disdained this. Not to mention, their advantage lies in fighting on flat ground. The Han army on the gentle slope was left to the cavalry behind to clean up. Therefore, they went directly down the hillside, stepping on a thin layer of quicksand to look for the Han army in the flat and wide area in front.

At the heights, Li Ling, who had already jumped on horseback with a sword, looked coldly at the heavily armored troops rushing past from the foot of the mountain. Deep down, he really wanted to compete with these big guys. However, remembering the important task he was taught, he tried his best to suppress the idea of wanting to kill these guys.

When the high-spirited heavily armored camel army was over, half a mile behind was the Persian cavalry brigade that could not be seen at a glance. The momentum of tens of thousands of war horses came to his face, and he already felt that strong sense of oppression from such a distance.

"The whole army obeys my command and attacks!"

The long knife is in the direction, and one rider takes the lead. Li Ling took all the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and directly rushed to the Persian cavalry array.

It's a veritable war against the name. With a few thousand men and horses, he dared to attack the main formation of the 100,000-strong army, that is, Li Ling, a bold guy, dared to do it. Even if it was just a feint to follow Yuan Zhao's orders, this task was not something that ordinary people could easily accomplish.

This swoop down from a high slope was the best way for cavalry to attack. Almost in the blink of an eye, the Wyvern warriors turned into a sharp blade as their general broke through the shrouded smoke and dust, and viciously plunged directly into the Persian army.

The Persian cavalry who walked in front were stunned for a moment, they did not expect that in the face of such a mighty Persian army, there would be a Han army that would dare to collide with them without knowing whether they were alive or dead. It's like an egg hitting a stone, killing yourself!

After suffering the first round of casualties, the Persians reacted immediately. The leading general shouted orders, and several teams of elite cavalry quickly attacked to meet the enemy. While blocking the edge of the Han army, he immediately outflanked the left and right, trying to swallow all the cavalry in one bite.

"It's them! Checkmate...... They're the same guys who raided the baggage camp a few days ago! ”

Among the Persian cavalry, someone finally recognized the special armor of the Wyverns. This discovery thrilled the Persian legion. I didn't expect the other party's life to be really big! In the encirclement and interception of so many men and horses, they even existed almost intact in the whole army...... It seems that the 50,000 vanguard troops who pursued earlier are likely to be in trouble.

The Persians, who aroused the desire to kill, roared and launched a frenzied siege and slaughter against the Han army, the only trace of which appeared. However, the Han cavalry turned out to be extremely cunning, and they grasped the timing very accurately. After the first round of assault and killing, with the command of the young general long knife who led the troops, the Wyvern Army quickly changed its formation, like a round of semicircular scimitars flying over, and after being bloodthirsty, it quickly left the battlefield and returned the same way in the blink of an eye.

This made the Persians, who had pounced in the air, shocked and angry. Their swords had not yet reached the horses of the Han cavalry, and the other party had fled again. Where is this? Before the Persian heavy army, he actually wanted to make a false move to take advantage of them, how could he tolerate and let them go!

The Persian general immediately mobilized 20,000 elite horsemen and ordered them to pursue them closely, so as to inflict heavy losses on the Persian army

The cavalry of the Han Dynasty was all killed. Then it was ordered again that the other armies did not have to stay, but went straight forward in search of fighters.

What several Persian generals who were furious did not expect was that the Han army, which had quickly withdrawn to the top of the hillside, did not know when they had already prepared all kinds of defensive weapons and facilities. They jumped off their horses and immediately flew down with crossbow arrows like flying feathers, along with various rolling wood and thunderstones, inflicting heavy casualties on the Persians who followed the attack. After a while, he couldn't hold on and fled back in embarrassment.

It's just infuriating! It was intolerable that the overall advance of the army was pinned down by a few thousand Han troops on this small hillside. An enraged Persian general wielded a scimitar and reorganized more than 10,000 men, just about to attack again. Swords and arrows fell from the sky, and the Han cavalry, which came and went like the wind, suddenly rushed down again, killing for a while. Then, before the huge Persian army could react, it quickly withdrew again and fled.

Seeing the crippled all over the ground, the Persians almost went crazy. Is this flea-like Han horse crazy? What is the purpose of their scurrying up and down? Do you really think that this can hold back the advance of the 100,000 army?!

They didn't know that the purpose of the Flying Dragon Army, which had caused chaos to the Persian army, was not to use this method to kill and injure the enemy, but to delay as much time as possible and bring trouble to the Persian generals, so that they would lose their correct judgment ability due to irritability and anger, so as to create the most favorable conditions for the victory of other Han army units in the next step.

When another round of siege organized by the Persians was repulsed, looking at the rising sun in the east, Li Ling estimated the time, and it should be about the same. The endless Persian army array under the hillside seemed a little sluggish. Obviously, the task assigned by Yuan Zhao has been completed, and the repeated raids of the Flying Dragon Army have caused great trouble to the other party.

"According to the original route, all retreat!"

Li Ling finally glanced back at the murderous aura that was permeating the black pressure on the side of the hillside, he sneered, and led his men to ride away. They are going to a new battlefield and waiting for the final decisive moment. At that time, you can kill happily to get your wish.

Subsequently, the Persians, who had finally captured the entire slope of the mountain, were greatly disappointed. In addition to the traces left everywhere, the elusive Han army has disappeared without a trace. The Persian generals, who were rewarded, were angry, but they were helpless. I had to take this account to heart, order the army to reorganize its formation, and then speed up. These damn Han people can't escape, and when they are caught, they must be made to die miserably!

However, everyone in the Persian cavalry corps may not have expected that during the period of delay, the 30,000 Persian heavily armored camel troops who had distanced themselves from them in front had already taken the lead in stepping into the trap set by the Han army.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

With a succession of deafening thunders, darkness and dust, a brutal war that the Persians had never encountered before was finally staged on the battlefield of their fate.
