Chapter 697: Kyrgyz Mountains 2
"The scouts and the Qin people have fought many times."
Parswan's horseman Carandra rode to Emperor Volodyasis III and reported loudly:
"We have won and lost each other, our army has lost almost three hundred horsemen, and the enemy should be the same number!"
"Winning and losing? Kalan, how many men did you send? Volodyasis III asked in surprise.
With a conspicuous red tassel on his helmet and an extremely powerful Kalandra, he replied with a neutral voice: "Ten teams, one thousand horses!" ”
"Hehe, the Qin people only have 25,000 troops, but they can send scouts who have wins and losses with a thousand horsemen." Volodyasis III sneered and said: "Are all their troops here?" ”
"This is the best opportunity." Carandra left no trace to compliment the emperor: "Your Majesty has never failed, and this time will not be an exception. ”
"Hmm." The emperor groaned slightly, even if the Qin army was all on the opposite side, he had an advantage in strength.
70,000 soldiers against 25,000 soldiers, and the cavalry around him was mainly Gulam, with few miscellaneous soldiers, and it seemed that there was really no reason to fail.
"How's the terrain up ahead?"
"There are no problems, perfect for the Ghulam charge." Kalandra, who coordinated the reconnaissance mission, replied without hesitation: "The two armies and two thousand scouts have been fighting for a long time, and there are no reports of unsuitable terrain. ”
"How far is the Qin people's main formation from us?"
"Less than three farsan (about five miles)." Kalandra replied, "The scouts can't be too far from the camp. ”
It is too far away to transmit the detected information back in time.
"Excellent! This is indeed the best chance to decide the winner of the battle! ”
In recent times, Volodyasis III has also been tormented by reports of logistical difficulties to the point of nervous breakdown, and he is now very eager to start the war as soon as possible, to achieve victory as soon as possible, and then withdraw his troops as soon as possible in order to relieve the logistical pressure.
"Don't hesitate! The enemy is right ahead! Cavalry assault! Destroy them! God forbid! ”
Zoroastrianism is polytheistic.
"God forbid!"
The 70,000 army shouted in unison, and the sound shook the four fields, as if even the fog had been blown away a little!
As many as 30,000 horsemen clamped their horses' bellies, and 120,000 horses' hooves stomped heavily on the ground, and the whole earth trembled, and then again......, and then again, and then again, and finally, the sound of horses' hooves merged into an irresistible torrent, and galloped wildly in the direction of the scouts!
Behind Volodyasis III, Carandra quietly took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth:
'The timing was just right. ’
The charge of 30,000 cavalry was full of momentum, but in the current weather, they could only rely on the sound of the scout's trumpet in front of them to guide the charge, and if the scout led the way wrong, then this powerful army would only perform a great tragedy.
So, what if the scout deliberately leads the way wrong?
From this point of view, Volodyasis III was really not a qualified commander, and he would have been instigated by Kalandra to launch a general attack in such weather.
This man is only suitable to be a charging general.
The Pars scouts began to move on either side of the army, making room for the army to charge.
This means that the enemy is not far ahead.
So the Pars cavalry accelerated to the extreme, and unleashed a thunderous blow at the enemy who was supposed to be in front of them at maximum speed.
However, there was no enemy ahead, only a trench about five miles long, eight meters wide, and about four meters deep!!
Visibility was so low that the Parsgulam heavy cavalry was caught off guard, and the deep ditch, like the mouth of a monster, suddenly appeared under the horse's hooves.
The first row of cavalry fell directly to the bottom of the ditch, followed by the second row, and the third row of cavalry listened to the earth-shattering screams of their companions, and watched the first two rows of companions suddenly disappear into the bloody mouth of the monster, they could not think about it, they could only pull the reins desperately.
The tall, sturdy horses of Pars neighed and stood up at the edge of the ditch, but then they were knocked into the ditch by their companions who did not notice anything unusual from behind!
Then the fifth row squeezed the fourth row into the deep ditch, and the fifth row itself had a lot of people rolling down to the bottom of the ditch.
The powerful impact of the armored cavalry was now all exerted on the Pars themselves, and the deep ditch that could not be crossed would not be stopped until it was filled, and the cavalry and horses were reversed, one pressing down on the other, and rolling thousands of people down, becoming a mass of flesh and blood in the mouth of the monster.
It was only after the deep ditch had been filled by the living that the rest stepped over them.
How many people died in that deep ditch, it was not until the end of the war that the Qin army counted an approximate result - at least three thousand five hundred cavalry, and their mounts.
The number of dead was not small, more than a tenth of the total number of Pars cavalry, which was an unbearable casualty for a feudal army.
What's more, the Pars cavalry who participated in the battle suffered a heavy blow in terms of momentum, and this aspect may even exceed the damage inflicted on them.
The pace of the charge of the Pars cavalry inevitably slowed down.
Now it's Qin Jun's turn to play his cards.
The Pars scouts, with their helmets tied to red cloths, gathered around Carandra and crept behind Pars' army.
They blew the agreed bamboo whistle together, and hundreds of whistles let out a piercing scream together, and for a moment actually suppressed the sound of the Pars military trumpet, which was gradually decadent.
The Pars gradually stopped attacking, and they listened to the whistle behind them, and their faces were amazed - what was the matter with the fact that the Pars had never used this instrument as a signal?
It's not a big deal, it's just that someone is leading the Qin army to charge.
Soon, the Pars heard the rumbling of hooves directly in front of them, and the warriors who had stopped looking ahead of them in horror, it was still foggy and they couldn't see anything at all, but they could detect by the shaking of the ground that a large cavalry force was approaching them.
They are fast, and they don't seem to be far away.
It was indeed not far away, and there was nothing in sight in front just now, and in the blink of an eye, a row of cavalrymen with spears and bright silver armor suddenly appeared in the eyes of the dazed Pars cavalry.
Solon Solon, who led the charge, knocked the Pars off their horses one by one, followed by the cavalry of the Outer Tibetan Muguls and the Western Regions, and finally the Tiele servants.
Except for the Han soldiers, the other Qin cavalry only had 12,000 cavalry, but they easily penetrated the array of more than 20,000 Pars cavalry with the momentum of the impact!
At this time, the battle was decided.
……
"Where's Kalandra!? Where did he go!? ”
Emperor Volodyasis III of Pars burst into a rage:
"What did he scout? Why is there a ditch there? Why is someone blowing the whistle behind our army? Where did Carandra go? ”
"Your Majesty, we don't know, we haven't seen Lord Kalan since the charge."
"Go get him! If you can't find him, don't come back! ”
