Nishapur is one of the most important cities in the Khorasan region, located in the middle of the Kashav Valley, between the Binarud and Hezhal-Mashed mountains, and is one of the holy cities of the second sect of the Celestial Sect. So, the Seljuks had to fight here. And it was none other than Gershap who commanded the Seljuk army here.

Gershap, who had suffered enough in the port of Homos, knew very well the power of Chinese artillery, so he divided his army into two, one part with the local fanatics to hold the city of Nishapur, and the other part was mainly cavalry, which he put outside the city to harass and assault the Lu Qi army, intending to contain the energy of the Lu Qi army.

In the entire Seljuk Empire, no one expected Gelshap to be able to resist the attack of the Lu Qi army in Nishapur, and his only task was to show the Seljuk's determination and fighting spirit to persist in the war of resistance.

……

"Order all the capitals and teams, and prepare for battle!"

"Our army is mighty—"

"I'm invincible!"

A high-pitched roar was heard far away.

This is a plain dozens of miles away from Nishapur, a place outside the warning circle of the Lu Qi army, and the most that appears here on weekdays is sporadic scouts.

But the reason why there is a musketeer of hundreds of people here today, what else can it be, 'hit'.

In front of the musketeers were the numerous Seljuk cavalry, and the Ghulam cavalry in battle armor led the tribal cavalry in simple cloth robes, scattered in a queue, shouting with the same fighting spirit, which in their eyes was also 'the Chinese'. As designers, their morale was high, and the fact that there were more people fighting fewer people, and that the cavalry fighting the infantry made them even more confident, urging the war horses to slowly rush towards the bayonet jungle-like phalanx composed of the soldiers of the landing Qi army.

Lu Qi's army was solemn, and officers and soldiers with a little experience could see that the Seljuk cavalry in front of them was a fierce enemy. I am afraid that there are three thousand of them.

In the shape of a bow arc, it wrapped towards the hollow phalanx of the Lu Qi army.

Hollow array, how could Lu Qian not know? It is a musketeer artifact that is regarded as a compendium by many keyboard warriors.

Lu Qian didn't dare to agree with the attitudes of those keyboard warriors on the Internet, but he also had to admit that the Hollow Array did have its own advantages when the musketeers dealt with the cavalry.

Looking at the approaching Seljuk cavalry, Lu Shiqiang took out his saber and raised it high, gritting his teeth: "All of them...... Aim! ”

The muskets were all bayonet pointed forward, as musketeers, they had been baptized by the baptism of war horse charging as early as when they were in the new barracks, and now they were real, although they could not be afraid at all, but they would not be frightened to pee their pants when they saw the rushing cavalry.

Not to mention their identity!

Although they are not from the Imperial Division, they are authentic sons of Heluo in the Central Plains, they are the villagers of the Lu family, and they are one of the most loyal troops in the world!

At present, this musket battalion, from the chief and deputy battalion officers to the teaching staff officers, and then the head team officers under the bottom, the three surnames of Yishui'er - Heluo area, Lu, Lin, and Zhai are the three most beautiful surnames and families.

Emperor Lu's relatives died early, and even the inconspicuous Lu clan could not be seen alive. In this way, it will benefit the entire family surnamed Lu in the Heluo area.

"150 steps!" The officers on the front line shouted loudly.

"100 steps!"

"Fire!"

Crackling gunfire rang out in front of the formation.

A neat line of white smoke rose from the front line of the army and Qi army, and dozens of oval-shaped lead bullets quickly crossed the distance of a hundred paces and shot into the charging Seljuk cavalry. The Seljuk cavalry array, which was rushing towards the array, immediately splattered with blood, and although they were in a loose line—traditional nomadic cavalry could not form a compact charging line, they were still too closely packed with each other. Bullets that could not hit the cavalry in the first, second, and third columns could also hit the cavalry in the fourth and fifth columns.

Screams rang out, and blood spilled onto the fields. But the Seljuk cavalry is still charging! This loss is not seen by them at all.

Lu Qijun's hollow array had already made them unbearable. They had no knowledge of the real power, and they didn't understand the power of the hollow array in front of them at all, they only saw that they were vulnerable.

Whether in the East or in the West, the only way for infantry to deal with cavalry is to dense arrays. Such a strange thing as the Hollow Array, in their opinion, is here to give them points. Stone-smashing eggs, and still need to worry about birds?

Whether a buckshot hits a horse or a person, it is a fatal wound.

The array of Lu Qi's army was very narrow, with only forty people in the horizontal plane. That's quite a lot.

The outer circle alone costs 160 people, and the inner circle has less than 150 people, right? In the formation of the hollow array, the soldiers are closely attached to the front and back, but they are not as loose as the line of soldiers. Coupled with the third circle, the total number of people is 450 people, and a few are indispensable. And the soldier inside the box put on a small 'product' shape.

A battalion of musketeers who made a sortie would not be superfluous.

After the platoon of guns is still platoon, the time for bombing has not yet come.

Hurry up and reload the first thing.

The soldiers in the array will also shoot between the heads of the soldiers in front, horizontally and vertically, to kill and injure as many enemies as possible.

There were also soldiers on both flanks, who were able to pull the trigger on the Seljuk cavalry with just a slight angle. With the destruction of thousands of bullets, the convex part of the Seljuk cavalry was almost wiped out.

Empty or wounded horses on their backs went berserk and rushed diagonally at the ranks of the Seljuk cavalry. The momentum of the entire team has been greatly reduced, but the officer headed by Musaili Maiyi did not care about the deaths and injuries of his subordinates, and was still shouting: Charge, charge!

He didn't want to be humiliated when he returned to the rear, and even had his head cut off by Mansur and die as an inhonorable person. Don't look at him, he is also a prominent person, the successor of a large clan.

At this point in time, none of this is working. Winning an early victory worth boasting about is the first thing.

Annihilating a battalion of the enemy, not to mention that this is still a musket battalion, it is worth the sacrifice. Besides, this is a charging formation, an infantry phalanx that has been placed in an array, which in itself requires a huge sacrifice.

Stimulated by the salvo of muskets, the cavalry on the left and right sides of the Seljuk charge, which suffered the least casualties, became the deepest in the line—the central part had been crushed.

These people all beat their horses like crazy, one by one with swords, bows and spears, and then outflanked the two wings of the landing Qi army.

Lu Qijun immediately restored the array, and the musketeers on both wings, which had opened an angle, quickly returned to their original positions. A large thick square appeared in the eyes of the Seljuk cavalry.

It was originally a central lordosis shock array, but now it has been made into a pincer shape with a small depression in the middle and protruding on both sides!

And farther away, there was also a Seljuk cavalry outflanking the back of the Lu Qi army array from the rear.

"Damn Sirke, these musketeers are too powerful......" Rahman said as he watched his brother Musaylimai beside him, looking at the team with heavy losses.

The Ghulam Guards cavalry were only a small number of men in this group, most of them were warriors from their tribe, and he was saddened by the large number of casualties.

The onslaught of the Seljuk cavalry suddenly stalled.

Two or three hundred horsemen were beaten so hard that people were blown up on their backs. How did the remaining Seljuk horsemen not be frightened?

Moreover, the way in which they charged was blocked by the corpses of men and horses lying down, or the horses that had lost their masters, or the cavalry that had lost their horses, and the speed of their attacks was undoubtedly slowed down.

However, the Seljuk cavalry was still charging, and the distance between the two sides quickly closed, and then the grenades rang out.

"Boom, boom, boom......" A series of grenade explosions sounded.

"Bang bang bang ......" followed by the final gunshot. I don't talk about any salvo or not, guns don't line guns, and one shot is one shot.

"Raise your bayonet and hold on!"

"I'm invincible!" Such shouts rang out from the array.

They are well aware that they are a decoy. Now that the enemy has taken the bait, how to completely eat the Seljuk cavalry in front of them is not in their hands. The most important thing for them right now is to protect themselves.

And being pressed forward by a large group of cavalry, this is also the most severe test they have to face!
