Chapter Ninety-Three: Tribal Arms vs. Killing Knight Matt
Early the next morning, the two armies drove out of their camp almost simultaneously and advanced towards the valley in the middle, and finally lined up in an open area in the middle of the valley, with the army of the city of Tus to the north and the Turkic rebels to the south.
Because the battle letter had been made yesterday, the two sides did not have any communication before the start of the war, and each mobilized its men and horses to set up a position.
Because the Turkic rebels outnumbered their opponents, they divided their armies into three formations and lined them up in echelons. The vanguard consists of 8,000 newly recruited tribal armed forces as the main force, and 2,000 former Khorasan Turkic mercenary cavalry in the flank and rear formation, these tribal armed forces form a small phalanx of different sizes with their respective tribes as a unit, almost every small phalanx is a mixed formation of infantry and cavalry, waving a banner or totem that symbolizes the identity of their respective tribes, gathering together in a chaotic manner, and there is no queue at all.
There was also a strange thing that happened during the formation, there were two rival tribes that originally had a grudge, and somehow they all sent people to join the rebels, and when they were arrayed, they just put the people of the two tribes together, and now they have not yet started to fight with the army of Tus City, but the two tribes themselves have fought first, and the first array has not yet started the war, and the first array has not yet started the war, and the first one has begun to be chaotic.
Fortunately, the Turkic cavalry in charge of pressing the formation found out in time that the organization was expanding before the two sides officially fought each other, and then temporarily adjusted the order of the formation, found a neutral tribe and placed it between the two tribes, separating the two sides, and then cut off the head of the guy who had just taken the lead in the fight, and shocked the other tribes in the array who were about to move - who hasn't had a few enemies in these years?
The commander of the rebel army originally wanted to make a speech on the battlefield, but when he saw this formation, he did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered the first formation of tribes to attack and press the army of Tus City opposite.
Compared with the Turkic rebels, the formation of the army in Tus City was much simpler, just an ordinary horizontal formation, and the array was also dominated by infantry, holding shields and spears, and hand-to-hand infantry in close formation in front and archers behind.
The few cavalry units were not located on the flanks of the large array as usual, but as the vanguard, they were directly in front of the large array, and the commander of the whole army, Princess Tamina, was wearing that extremely gorgeous set of armor, standing at the front of the cavalry, which was extremely conspicuous.
Someone once persuaded the princess to change into a low-key dress, and she wore this gorgeous costume to the battlefield, which was a magnet for arrows, a humanoid arrow target.
However, this reasonable suggestion was rejected by the princess, and Princess Tamina said that she wanted everyone on the battlefield to see her heroic figure.
Kindness... The answer of the very middle two is that strong is capricious.
Under the influence of Princess Tamina, her skilled bodyguards were also dressed in extreme squeamishness, either sticking their heads like feather dusters, or wrapping thick silk robes around their armor and dressing themselves as embroidered pillows.
Even the war horses under their crotches are not spared, not only are they dressed in all kinds of strange costumes, cosplay into all kinds of strange beasts, and even their manes and tails are also taken care of into various hairstyles that kill Matt.
With this group of Killing Matt Knights as a backdrop, the gorgeous Princess Tamina is not so conspicuous, at least after the enemy sees the two, he will definitely subconsciously choose to beat the Kill Knights first.....
It can only be said that the knights who killed Matt were well-intentioned, and the routines were played very deeply.
In short, the tribal forces on the side of the Turkic rebels took the lead in attacking, and under the pressure of the Turkic cavalry on both wings, they slowly approached the Tus City military formation, and when they came to the center of the battlefield, the Tus army also moved, and the knights and cavalry at the front of the military formation, under the leadership of Princess Tamina, directly charged the tribal armed array!
The cavalry of the Tus army charged!?
Both the tribal forces and the Turkic cavalry on both flanks were caught by surprise by Tamina's charge.
Isn't it common for both sides to shoot passionately with bows and arrows for a while, then throw in the infantry for meat grinding, and finally the cavalry will circle around and then launch a surprise attack? Why did you charge as soon as you came up, you didn't play according to the routine, did you think about the feelings of the infantry who were left behind you?
The leaders of the clan forces, especially those who were facing the charging cavalry, were all messy in the cold wind.
"Hurry up and release the arrows, hurry up and release the arrows!"
"What about our cavalry, rush up and stop them!"
"Spearmen line up, spearmen line up quickly!"
The tribal armed forces reacted to Tamina's unexpected charge, and the Turkic cavalry who pressed the formation was also surprised, their position was originally further back than the main formation, and the position was still on the two flanks, because they were more numerous, so the width of the formation was much wider than the large formation of the Tus army, and when they found that the Tus cavalry actually rushed to charge, and then wanted to speed up to reinforce the reinforcements, they unexpectedly found that they were too far away to block the opponent's charge.
However, the commanders of the Turkic cavalry on both flanks were all veterans, and immediately improvised and led the cavalry to outflank the Tus cavalry, preparing to surround the Tus cavalry.
Princess Tamina didn't pay any attention to the Turkic cavalry that flanked her, but just stared intently at the target directly ahead.
After a brief period of confusion, the tribal forces finally formed a decent defensive formation, the infantry at the front of the queue held a variety of weapons, lined up in a dense formation, the archers in the back row shot a sparse rain of arrows at the charging cavalry, and the tribal warriors and nobles on horseback also took the initiative to launch a counter-charge.
One of the tribal nobles was right across from Tamina, and the other party seemed to be in awe, waving his sword in his hand and shouting in his tribal language.
Tamina was not moved by it at all, and even did not focus on this fool who wasted war energy, until the last moment did she swing her scimitar like lightning, and the fleeting blade skillfully avoided the opponent's block, killing the guy on the horse instantly, and the war horse did not know that the owner on its back was dead, carrying the headless corpse on its back, running past Princess Tamina.
The Persian princess was not moved by the scene in front of her, her eyes looked beyond the tribal armed array in front of her, and looked at the banner of the local second formation of the Chinese army - the commander of the Turkic rebel army was under the banner at this time!
"Kill!"
It was only at this time that Princess Tamina made her first voice after stepping on the battlefield, her voice was crisp and loud, and it seemed that she was not murderous, but it didn't matter, there were hundreds of little brothers behind her?
If your voice is not loud enough, you will be made up by the younger brother!
"Kill!"
Hundreds of horsemen who killed Matt shouted in unison, and at the same time, they sparked a battle and slashed towards the large array of tribal forces in front of them!
