As the two armies continued to approach, a trumpet sounded, and the light cavalry of the Pars men used from both flanks.

According to the descriptions of the soldiers of the Western Regions who fought against the Pars for many years, although there were many cavalry in the Pales, most of them were unarmored light cavalry, and among these people were the tribal armed forces of the vassal Pars; There were also soldiers who brought their own weapons to participate in the war and wanted to get a share of the spoils of war - in essence, the components of this Pa army were really very similar to the Qin army.

The difference is that the core force of the Par army is the armored cavalry known as Ghulam, these people are the Praetorian guards around the chief of Pars (equivalent to the sanitation Suzhi), who followed the Pars Khan to fight in the south and the north, and are the core armed forces that created the hegemony in the central part of the Pars continent.

This time, there were 5,000 gurams out of the 30,000 cavalry of the Pa army, which is really a bloody investment.

Of course, since it is an armored cavalry equipment, then it will definitely not be used easily, it must be that the other troops first find the weakness of the Qin army, and then this trump card will launch a fatal blow - if they can really find it.

The Qin army was dismissive of this, and the Han soldiers, who were in the middle of the battle, were no strangers to light cavalry and armored cavalry - the Jurchens and the Dangxiang people had strong mounted cavalry, and the Muguls were masters of mounted archery, and the quality of the Pars soldiers would not be higher than them—it just so happened that these people in the Qin army also had them.

In addition, all Han soldiers had full confidence in the muskets in their hands, and the results of previous battles showed that anyone who could wear movable iron armor could not withstand a blow from the musket.

This is also the reason why the proportion of armor and equipment in the regular Chinese is getting lower and lower - the staff believes that the protective advantage that armor can provide is far less than the disadvantages caused by the large amount of physical strength it consumes and hinders the speed of the state.

The staff officers did not consider the morale of the soldiers, because the field army was so strong that it could be killed but not routed, and it was natural that it was advancing in the face of bullets and even artillery, and no one thought that a bow and arrow could break a field army.

However, most of the Han soldiers in the Qin army were not regular soldiers, and they would prepare some armor for themselves according to their own habits: cotton armor with a warm function was a common equipment, and many people wore iron armor captured from the enemy - cuirplate, chain mail, scarlet armor, and scarlet armor.

The equipment is not uniform enough, and the individualization is serious, which is also a characteristic of the militia units.

However, the Han soldiers were trained in the same way as the military discipline they had to abide by, so the order to "advance" was conveyed to every soldier through the mid-level and low-level officers at the command of the King of Qin.

As a result, everyone marched against the enemy, despite the terrifying momentum of the thousands of enemy cavalry charges.

The black oppressive Pars light cavalry pressed like a tidal wave, they had not seen the prestige of the empire, so they were not as fearful of the fighting power of the Han soldiers as the peoples of the East, and they would not be three heads short before the battle began.

What's more, they have an absolute superiority in strength, and the nomadic thieves naturally seem fearless.

Although it was only light cavalry, the team of up to 10,000 people was still violent, and they spread across the black field, like crazy monsters, rushing towards the Qin army in the billowing smoke and dust.

"Shoot!"

The distance between the two armies was 100 paces, and the Han soldiers, who were the arrows of the attack, stopped suddenly, and the soldiers in the front row did not aim, and fired suddenly at the Pars with rifled guns in their hands.

The monster was hit in the face, and the unprepared Pars hussars were knocked down.

"Shoot!"

The order of the Han soldiers was still the same, the soldiers in the first row who had just finished shooting stood in place and loaded their ammunition, and the soldiers in the second row passed their comrades in front of them, and after taking five steps forward, they also suddenly stopped and then fired.

Then there is the third row, then the first row that has completed the reload, and so on.

In the face of the enemy cavalry, the Qin army simply marched at a slightly slower pace - they adopted a variation of the three-stage firing tactic, firing one round every five steps, relying on the range advantage of firing rifled guns to complete the first two rounds, and then the flintlock muskets supplemented the shots at closer range.

The muskets of the Qin army were extremely sharp, and the light cavalry that was charging with a loud howl turned into a scream in an instant, and fell to the ground.

Under the blow of large-caliber muskets, no matter the people and horses, they will die if they are shot.

The attack of the hussars was contained.

In fact, the casualties of the Pa army were not large, and after four rounds of firing, it was probably more than 300 and less than 400, but the light cavalry still gave up the attack, and after throwing a round of light arrows on horseback at random from a few dozen paces, they immediately turned around and returned from the original road.

After all, they were just vassal nomadic tribes of the Pars, and when the Pars were strong, it was okay for them to act as vanguards to win more loot, but if they were evenly matched, or even inferior, then don't expect these light cavalry to fight to the death.

The boots of the Qin army stomped heavily into the ground with the arrows inserted in the ground, and the pace of the attack increased again, as if it was not a big deal for them to repel tens of thousands of cavalry.

This is not a big deal, in the last twenty years, the Han army has defeated more cavalry in Liaodong, the grassland, and the northwest, and almost every opponent is more determined and skilled than today's enemy.

Because the mid-formation rotation was delayed for a little time, the original triangular attack formation became a parallel advance, and even the Waifan cavalry on both wings was still slightly ahead.

The performance of the Han soldiers just now greatly boosted the morale of all the Waibo soldiers, and originally, in the face of a slightly unfamiliar opponent like Pars, the Waibo soldiers from the grassland and Liaodong were still a little uneasy.

Now, that's not the case, and the enemy doesn't get any stronger because of the strange blue eyes.

The Pars were disturbed by the inexplicable defeat of the first formation, and the general who commanded this army knew Darke, who had traveled in the Qi country, so he knew that the enemy infantry in front of him was powerful, and he had a weapon that could kill a heavy cavalry in his hand.

But he had heard that the weapon had a low rate of fire and a short range, and that skilled archers could actually shoot at it.

Now it seems that this is not the case - the weapon has an astonishing range (the effective range of firing rifled guns is almost three times that of flintlock muskets, so much so that some elite shooters can use it to suppress cannons), and as for the rate of fire, it seems that it can be solved by rounds.

In the face of the opponent who was advancing step by step, as if he was about to crash headlong, the battle line of the Pars people fluctuated slightly.

But after all, they had absolute superiority in military strength, and they were also invincible and powerful countries in the middle of the continent, so they quickly regained their stability.

It's just a victory over some vassal garbage, and it's nothing.

In the end, it is necessary to come out with the main force and do it in a dignified manner.

"Send out Ghulam!"

General Pars commanded loudly.

In the face of an enemy that is getting closer and stronger, it is easy to lose due to low morale if you have reservations.

So you have to deal with it, it's just that you can't defend it.

In that case, let's go against each other and see whose warriors are stronger and more resolute!
