Chapter 425: Western Regions Autonomous Region VII

Ali Baba was decisive, and at this life-or-death moment, his first thought was to abandon the infantry in order to allow the elite cavalry of Flower Thornzim to complete a successful strategic retreat.

First appearance on the battlefield' The secret weapon is always the most terrifying, just like the armored vehicle that appeared in the European battlefield for the first time, the effect of deterrence is actually far more than practical; the ironclad chain horse is actually not without weaknesses, once someone finds a way to break the enemy, make a hook sickle and crutch stick or something, the unlucky is the Chinese army, not to mention that Bai Dong is still so bold, and the golden vulture of later generations only dares to interconnect the three horses, but he comes up with fifty horsemen in a wave, which is to bully you The Persians have backward iron-smelting technology, not to mention that they can't think of such a thing as a hook and sickle, even if they think of it, they can't build it; it is to bully you The first time you saw this kind of monster-like cavalry charging into battle, it scared you!

The Persian cavalry is good at light cavalry and good shooting, and it is very good at dealing with the slow-moving Wei Wushu phalanx, once it is at a loss against the ironclad chain horse with strong impact, and then it is hit by several waves in a row, and the army is immediately in chaos, even if Alibaba does not order the withdrawal of the army, this group of Persian Maozi who are only good at fighting the wind will turn around. Ali Baba actually ran faster, soon after the military order was issued, he withdrew to the west under the protection of his personal guards, the Chinese ironclad army was too heavy, and the real long-distance attack was cut off and could not run his light cavalry army, Alibaba was confident that he would reorganize the army two hundred miles away, and there was still a fight in this battle

The Persian infantry army, which had lost the cover of the cavalry, was in a panic, but they also knew that two short legs would never be able to run through four horses' hooves. Forming a battle is their last chance; Under the mournful cry of the thousand officers. Tens of thousands of Persian infantry ripped off their outer armor. Revealing half of his naked arms, this is the posture of sacrificing himself to the god of light and fire, according to the rules, it should be naked, but this will be on the battlefield, stripped naked, and the Persian Maozi, who is too indecent and ready to sacrifice, calls the names of his mother and lover in his mouth, ready to fight hard.

Unexpectedly, the Huaxia cavalry did not fight with them at all, but just galloped around their military formation, and at the same time kept suppressing them with bows and arrows. Those terrifying cavalry connected by iron chains just kept impacting the formation, and after hitting a wave, they immediately untied the chains and went around and returned to the rear formation, and then tied the chains and waited for the next charge, and the infantry array without cavalry cover was so hard, and now it was fighting on the grassland, and the array was in chaos and faced with the cavalry was the part of being slaughtered, so I could only watch the enemy go around and go back, ready to resist the next ferocious impact, the god of light and fire was on top, what to do to resist the charge of others? Just the wooden shield with iron plates in your hand?

The Persian infantry was struggling to survive on the one hand, and had to deal with the ferocious onslaught of ironclad horses. On the one hand, it is necessary to shoot at the Huaxia army, but unfortunately this is not Waterloo, and a large number of Huaxia cavalry equipped with repeating crossbows completely solved the problem of aiming immediately. The stirrups under their feet let them stand up and shoot to occupy a high point, and the bitter ~ Persian infantry found that they had to raise their heads to launch, and the enemy moved very fast, a moment was still in front of them, and they were behind the side in a flash, and the accuracy of the arrows they shot could be fifty percent, which was good, and it was easy to shoot the other party, and the inferior arrow clusters were not to mention the bronze armor of the Chinese warriors, and even the vest could not be shot!

It's just a matter of staying where you are and being shot as a live target, but there are still people who take the opportunity to fight the autumn wind? I saw all kinds of messy flags on the horizon from afar, some got a few pieces of sheepskin and put them on wooden poles, some grabbed pheasant feathers and pasted them on the cloth, and some simply picked up a wolf skin specimen and jumped out, my Persian mother has Shanrong, Bairong, Xiqiang, Dayue, and Shengqiang who eat raw meat, and their Persian legions also eat people ~ dried meat and food, but it is so cooked, these raw Qiang are eaten raw, and it makes people get goosebumps just thinking about it.

All kinds of strangely dressed Rong people seem to have suddenly jumped out of the time and space tunnel, and they have also formed an army of tens of thousands, these guys are here to fight the autumn wind, just waiting for Bai Dong to make a lot of effort after the victory, if he can capture a few Persians, he will also peel off the skin and make jerky to taste? Damn, thinking of the evil things that these Persians have done, the minority brothers are angry, the 'old king next door' was caught by them and made into jerky, this revenge will be avenged!

This time, more than a dozen tribes near the Changhe Valley came, so close to Xijun City, bathed in the glory of Baizi every day, they completely believed that this Xijun Baizi was the messenger of the God of Light, so they didn't think about what would happen to the Huaxia people if they were defeated? The men in the tribe came, and the girls didn't pull them down! Bai Dong didn't stop these enthusiastic minority brothers, war and politics have always been a pair of brothers in troubled times, just ask them not to fight when the Persians are not defeated, and when the Persians are defeated and flee for their lives, they will help harass them, but they have never counted that these minority brothers actually jumped out to fight a tough battle, this is not possible, how can the Persian infantry army also have 40,000 people, it is not easy to swallow it in one bite, you have to leave a way for others to live, Bai Dong stood up with a wry smile, Throw away the chilled grapes in his hand, quickly pass down the military order, and the power of command is in the hands of Pang Juan and Sun Bin, but he, the commander-in-chief, can still issue orders at the tactical level, and Sun Bin and Pang Juan can carry them out.

Soon the Persians found that the attack of the Chinese army was gradually slowing down, and those strangely dressed Rong people united army turned around and ran to dig pits on all sides of them, but this time the mining was clearly done in front of them, but it was not like the last time in the Shanqiang tribe, to be precise, it was not a pit, but a pit that extended out, with length and depth, and it was to trap them in this situation?

Anyway, if you see the pit, you will be afraid, the Persians have been hungry for a long time, and now they just want the Chinese army to slow down the attack, no matter what they dig the pit, we just don't jump.

"The Persians have exhausted their combat strength, leaving 10,000 Wei Wushu and the Rong people of various tribes to trap them, Yongyi elite soldiers and Wei Wushu's main force continues to pursue Alibaba, he fled to the Green Ridge and chased me to the Green Ridge, even if he fled to the edge of the sky, he chased me down!"

After receiving Bai Dong's order, great gods like Pang Juan and Sun Bin were eyelids, and they chased after them wherever they fled? How to solve the supply along the way? The Chinese people are not a Persian army that eats people ~ meat, 30,000 troops are scattered, just eating and drinking along the way is a big problem, Lao Qin's food is a lot, but no matter how much it can fly over?

"The food supply of the army is easy to solve, and the water source is difficult, especially in the Western Regions. From here to the city outline area, green mountains, although there are many water sources, can be Alibaba's prudence, will inevitably return along the long river, because this is the route he has walked, the geographical environment along the way, the tribal forces are the most knowledgeable, in his eyes is the safest. ”

Bai Dong smiled lightly: "It's a pity that Ali Baba is too anxious, he killed all the way to Xijun City from the city outline, although many tribes along the way bowed down to the vassals but were just afraid of his military might, he didn't have time to really subdue these tribes, this time he suffered a defeat, the Rong brothers along the way will still call him a vassal?" What's more, in addition to these tribes, there are a large number of tribal groups deep in the grassland and between the Gobi, these tribes may not be on the Zhurong map of the Western Regions, and Alibaba has no time to explore and discover, but they have lived in the Western Regions for hundreds of thousands of years As early as half a year ago, the Bai family trading company and the Bai family's ally Fan family trading company made careful arrangements on this line, in half a year, we promoted the wool economy, taught these tribes to raise sheep, educated their children to read and learn calligraphy, and exchanged money and food for wool, Let them gradually unable to leave the help of Lao Qin and Huaxia, by the way, there are at least two hundred tribes like this, some of them are very weak, there are only dozens of people in the tribe, but the Bai family trading company will treat them like a big tribe, and some of their people have even joined the Western Regions branch of the Bai family trading company, and they are already our people."

"You don't even let go of a small tribe of dozens of people? What are you taking care of them for? ”

This sentence Yingquliang once asked Bai Dong, and now it is Pang Juan's turn to ask, it is difficult for the general who is rampant in the world to understand Bai Dong's approach, let alone a small tribe of dozens of people, even a weak country like Lu and Song is difficult to put in Pang Juan's eyes.

"Actually, there is nothing, but every time we exchange grain for wool, we will deliberately give more, and now these tribes have endless food, just like Lao Qin's granary, the grain storage is not much, 30,000 troops are enough to eat for a year or two" (to be continued......)
