Chapter 224: Hunting and Killing the Remnants of the Enemy
It's just that although the effect is good, in terms of weight, it is not as light as the chain mail at all. This invisibly increased their burden on the charging Chiyan 1st Battalion and affected their impact speed.
In comparison, the cavalry responsible for long-range attacks, such as the Eagle Corps, or the Firmament Corps, which is responsible for pressing the formation, is more suitable.
However, Li Chengji said. The battlefield utility of the Red Flame Corps is mainly between the eagle and the sky. When either side is weak or does not exist on the battlefield, it plays a corresponding role of substitution.
It is not an exaggeration to describe them as firefighters.
Therefore, on the battlefield, the casualties of the Chiyan Corps are likely to be much greater than those of other corps. In the end, whether it is the Eagle Corps or the Sky Corps, their effectiveness on the battlefield is single and targeted.
The probability of frontal combat is not as high as that of the Chiyan Corps.
Considering Li Chengji's authority, Li Qiqi silently accepted the facts.
While he was thinking about this, Ahura, the commander of the Chiyan 1st Battalion, had already rushed to the front of the enemy general with a group of charging soldiers.
"Stop them! Stop them! ", the enemy general, Yinalshu, yelled at the guards beside him. As a Kangli native of the same tribe as Turhan Khotun, he was greatly favored by Turkhan Khotun.
Just to hide people's eyes, he has never been in front of the Sultan of Mahamat and has been too close to Turkhan Khotun. Not only that, but he also led some of the Kangli tribes who had converted to Islam to submit to the feet of Mahamat in accordance with the instructions of Turhan Khotun.
So as to gain their trust and be reused. Like Khamenirf after becoming the governor of Nishapur, he controlled the entire Mashhad Basin. He was appointed Hajib (provincial military governor) in charge of the military affairs of Associate Nishapur.
This was not only to prevent Khamenilf from abusing power, but also to advance eastward into Khorasan and deter local forces in Malu, Yeli and other places.
Although in terms of authority, he is not as good as Khamenilf. But as Hajib, Khamenirf did not dare to embarrass himself. So after coming to Nishapur, he cooperated with Khamenilf's raiding methods. As a result, a large amount of oil and water is obtained in the annual tax.
So a small half of the products of the Mashhad basin fell into his pocket.
Originally, he was supposed to be stationed in Salahs, but Guchang suddenly fell to Prince Rajad, which terrified Khamenirf. Therefore, at his strong request, he had to lead a part of his soldiers back to the city of Mashhad east of Guchang to garrison.
When he said this, he felt angry.
Because Khamenilf wanted to make it easier to escape, he left Tus, which was high and wide, instead of staying in Mashhad, which had only a few earthen walls.
made him have to stay in that place, which is really embarrassing.
When the news of the capture of Salah arrived, Khamenilf ordered him to go and capture it. Although in his heart, he felt that this errand was nothing. But after seeing the smoke in the direction of Salahs, I was still a little frightened.
He deliberately slowed down his march and sent rangers to investigate the military situation. Don't speed up until you spot an enemy ranger.
It's just that I didn't expect to plant a big heel before rushing to the enemy.
To tell the truth, he had never seen such an offensive in all his years of marching and fighting. Only one volley resulted in heavy losses for his cavalry. In the face of the enemy's charge, it is even more powerless.
If he had a choice, he would have been hiding in the city of Tus and would not have come out. Anyway, the city of Tus is unusually strong, and there is grain and grass in the entire land of Nishapur. Coupled with the original garrison, he was confident that he could hold it for ten days and half a month.
By that time, Guchang in the west must have received news of the attack on Tus by the governor of Khorasan. Then send a messenger to ask for reinforcements. No, Prince Rajad will be able to relieve the siege of Tus.
Because he was originally a native of Turkhan Khotun, he believed it. As long as he identifies himself, Prince Rajjad will definitely accept him. After all, Prince Rajad's rebellion was openly and covertly supported by Turhan Kedun and Kangli generals.
But it was Khamenilf, and the end must have been miserable. But when he can't protect himself, he can't pay attention to it so much.
These thoughts came to him unconsciously in his mind when the Chiyan First Battalion rushed over. Now, he can only think about how to get out.
"Clang, bell, bell", Ahura pierced another guard of the Yinale technique. It was a jagged tip with a little bit of minced meat. The attacks of the guards were mostly neutralized by the armor on Ahura's body.
"Attack their faces!" , Yinalsu said loudly after seeing a guard commander stabbing a Chiyan soldier to death. In fact, without his reminder, the guards knew how to kill the Red Flame soldiers.
It's just that those who can go to war are not fools. When the Chiyan soldiers knew their own weakness, how could they give their faces to the enemy to cut off. Therefore, most of the attacks were defused by the Red Flame soldiers.
As a result, the further back you go, the fewer guards there will be. With less than fifty horses remaining, the Enalshua finally became terrified. He ordered the guards to protect themselves and retreat the way they came.
With a hula, Ahura saw the opportunity and chased after him to take the banner of Yinalshu.
"Hajib is dead! Hajib is dead! Ahura waved his flag and said loudly. The soldiers who followed him also echoed. The Khorezm soldiers, who had already been killed, immediately looked like ashes.
Li Wei, who had been paying attention to the battlefield, immediately ordered: "The eagle is out of the battalion!" Chase down the remnants of the enemy, and those who surrender will not be killed! ”。
The eagle soldiers, who were ready to go, suddenly rushed into the battlefield like wild horses on the loose.
After the order to surrender not to kill was spread throughout the audience, the Khorezm soldiers no longer had the heart to resist. They all put down their weapons and surrendered. If you are slow, you will be killed on the spot.
This made the Khorezm soldiers throw away their weapons more quickly. It looked like throwing a hot potato.
There are only a handful of recalcitrant ones who still want to fight to the end. As a result, one by one, they were all cleaned.
Then the entire army, following in the footsteps of the remnants of Khorezm, quickly rushed to the city of Tus.
About a stick of incense passed, outside the city of Tus.
A light cavalry of dozens of people quickly rushed to the city gate. The soldiers defending the city knew that this was their own armor, and they did not dare to stop it.
"Close the gates! Close the gates! As soon as he rushed in, he commanded loudly. Therefore, Shi Yinal's technique was embarrassed, and the soldiers below did not know him. So I was stunned and a little overwhelmed.
Seeing this, the Yina Le technique is simply angry! Just as he was about to speak, a whooshing sound broke through the air, and it came from the back of his head. Immediately, a guard sitting on a horse fell to the ground. On his back, there was a trembling arrow.
