Chapter 1050: All the Way West (7)

On the magnificent battlefield, countless soldiers shouted and waved their weapons to fight desperately. The brigade of fierce cavalry galloped across the vast land. Armored foot soldiers formed battle formations and stabbed each other with their enemies.

The smoke of gunpowder was filled with shouts. In the vast fields outside the ancient city of Apameya, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are composing magnificent war songs with countless lives for different purposes!

"Anyway, I don't understand what His Majesty Vologis V thinks." In front of the huge Han army formation, Gao Yang, dressed in a gorgeous battle armor, stood in front of the handsome banner. Putting away the telescope in his hand, he shook his head a little speechlessly, and said, "There is no resistance in the mountains at the Hundred Prison Gate, and there is no resistance on the banks of the Lisa River. What did His Majesty the Emperor mean by gathering hundreds of thousands of troops in this empty area of Apameya? Did he think he could defeat me on this plain? ”

"Perhaps his intention is not to stop your attack, but to crush your army. It's like they did to the Romans hundreds of years ago. The origin said out loud at the right time.

"Oh?" Gao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"The mountains are not used, and the riverbanks are not blocked. If it's just a small country or tribe, forget it. However, there could not be a single smart person in the decision-making level of a huge country like the Rest Empire. The only explanation is to lure the enemy deeper and lengthen the supply lines. Yuan Dian whispered his analysis.

"Makes sense." Gao Yang was slightly stunned and said, "Go on." ”

"Look at the terrain outside the city of Apameya. It is a wide plain that is most suitable for cavalry combat. If I'm not mistaken, the Sabbatarians are trying to entangle you with their main force, and then use a surprise attack to crush your army in one fell swoop. "The origin gives the conclusion.

"Odd soldiers?" Gao Yang frowned, and said suspiciously, "Where do they still have a strange soldier of this scale?" Although the Parthian cavalry was very powerful. But it's still not enough to see in front of me. And they are all on the battlefield now. Where are there people of this size? ”

"You forget, they still have a troop of horses that haven't shown up." Yuan Point paused, and said with a smile: "To the south, Persepolis still has Ardashir I, who will establish the Sassanid dynasty in the future. He also had tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, to say the least. It is enough to use it as a decisive force. ”

"Huh." Gao Yang immediately laughed out loud after hearing this. Dian Wei behind him scratched his head strangely. I don't understand what's going on, Lord Taiwei.

"I see." Gao Yang sighed and shook his head, and said with a smile, "I really underestimate the heroes of the world." That young majesty was able to arrange such a grand strategic deployment. Whether he came up with it himself or not, he is definitely not an ordinary person who can make up his mind to agree to this strategy! It's really, really, interesting. ”

"What are you going to do?" Yuan asked curiously, "Even if I don't say it, it won't be long before you can find out that something is wrong." Now how are you going to deal with this situation? The Sabbatarians on the opposite side are biting you regardless of the huge casualties, and it is estimated that those Persian cavalry will soon enter the battlefield. You don't have a lot of mobile forces at your disposal right now. ”

"No big deal." Gao Yang shook his head with a smile and said, "It's just a group of Persian cavalry. They weren't the time when Darius attacked Hot Springs. My strength here is far stronger than the three hundred warriors of Sparta! The enemy is coming, just defeat them! ”

Over the years, Gao Yang has seen countless winds and waves. From the cannonballs flying in the sky in the era of hot weapons to the decisive battles of hundreds of thousands of armies in the era of cold weapons, and even the experience of fighting alien civilizations. Battles that would move him are now largely non-existent.

The surveillance drone covering the battlefield soon flew south. It didn't take long for detailed information to arrive. Indeed, a huge cavalry force of nearly 40,000 men quietly approached the battlefield along the hilly terrain to the south.

"Didn't Ardashir I want to overthrow the Sabbatians and establish the Sassanid Empire? Why would he come to help the emperor he would overthrow in the future? How good would it be to take advantage of this great opportunity to build a nation in the south? Why do you have to come to this muddy water? Yuan asked puzzled.

"What's so strange about that?" Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "When your own people fight, it is a brother fighting for family property, and whoever loses and wins will have rotten meat in the pot." If the foreign enemy invades, the meat will be directly fished away! At this time, we must work together. ”

"I see." The origin suddenly responded.

......

The young governor of Fars, Atazexis, was a nobleman from a prominent family. His grandfather, Sasani, was a priest at the temple of Anahit, and his father, Papak, was the ruler of the city of Ishhahel. His family is descended from the ancient Persian royal family.

Hundreds of years ago, the Parthian armies of the north marched south and occupied the lands of the ancient Persian Empire. Although the family of Atazexis had always been subservient to the Parthians, they never gave up the idea of restoring the honor of the Persian Empire.

Atazeksis, who was still amassing strength, suddenly received an order from the emperor to lead his troops to the city of Apamaia to raid the troops of the Han Empire from the far east.

After consulting with the nobles and going to the temple to ask for guidance from the gods. Eventually, Atazexis decided to accept the Emperor's orders to resist the invaders from faraway lands. In any case, this land was an inherent territory of the Persian Empire. He couldn't just watch the invaders from afar ruin it all.

When Atazeksis finally left the rolling hills with tens of thousands of elite cavalry, ready to enter the distant battlefield. But he was stunned to find that what appeared in front of him was not the emperor's army that came to greet him, but the equipment flag. A huge alien army with completely different faces and shapes!

This time, Gao Yang personally led the lead. The 20,000-man cavalry corps was the largest mobile force in his hands at this time. The rest of the forces are either defending important positions or are engaged in a decisive battle with the main legions of the Sabbatarians. Gao Yang has not been able to draw more troops.

None of that matters, though. Gao Yang had never been defeated since he participated in the first in-person battle many years ago. He also did not believe that his elite army would lose to these Persians.

The armies of the Greeks, Romans, and Alexander all defeated the Persians at their peak. There is no reason why the Han army, which is far stronger than them, should lose! What's more, his commander is Gao Yang, a man who exists like a cheat.

"Blow the trumpet, attack!" Gao Yang slowly pulled down the mask on his helmet, and he didn't think about giving the Persian cavalry who had just walked out of the hilly area on the opposite side a chance to assemble and reorganize the formation. Immediately ordered the army to attack.

The 20,000-strong cavalry corps began to slowly accelerate like a landslide amid the dull and melodious sound of bull horns. They drew their sharp swords. The chain crossbow was raised. His eyes resolutely looked at the enemy troops in the distance on the opposite side, who were panicking and forming their formations. They didn't even know who those strangely dressed people were, they just knew that they were enemies!

Young Atazexis cursed angrily at the Emperor. He thinks it's a trap. A trap set for him by an emperor. The emperor, who was completely unaware of this matter and was cursed loudly by him, had already been unable to protect himself under the full attack of the main force of the Han army, and the only hope he was struggling to support was the Persian cavalry under his command!

At this time, it is nonsense to want to withdraw from the army. The enemy forces on the opposite side have already begun to close. Behind him were rolling hills, and the huge army was not ready for battle. The retreat can only evolve into a collapse under the pursuit of the enemy, and then most of the people will die here.

This army was the basis for the Persians to regain their former glory, and Atazexis could not allow them to be lost here. The only way at this moment is to defeat the enemy forces that are coming by surprise. Fortunately, he had an advantage in the number of troops, and this was the only advantage he could rely on.

Atazexis had no time to put his army in order, so he drew his saber and shouted "God forbid!! ”

The thousands of Persian cavalrymen who followed him also drew their swords and shouted in unison. Their will to fight is also very tenacious. While the horses were galloping, wave after wave of Persian cavalry left the hills, brandishing their sabers and rushing towards the surging Han army.

There is no possibility of changing the results. The battle-hardened elite Han army was far beyond the reach of these local tribal cavalry. The 20,000 cavalry divided into several waves, crushing the Persian counterattack as if Mount Tai were overwhelming. The army passed by, leaving only countless mutilated corpses.

Swords fly, arrows fly. Two armies that had never fought each other erupted in a fierce clash of blood and fire in this land.

Gao Yang, who was charging forward, raised his spear obliquely, wrapped tightly in heavy armor, leaving only a pair of indifferent eyes on his hideous armor. All those who followed behind Gao Yang were elite Han soldiers. They marched all the way west, and their men did not know how much blood they had been stained with.

'Poof! The horses staggered, and the spears in Gao Yang's hands stabbed out like silver snakes, and several Persian cavalrymen who rushed straight at him fell off their horses in an instant. The Han army followed the surging tide and soon swept away Atazexis and the Persian cavalry beside him.

"Why?!"

Atazexis, who had been impaled through the waist by a steel spear and tumbled from his horse and fell to the ground, looked at a Han general in silver armor with a long white tassel fluttering in the wind on his helmet galloping past him. Roaring unwillingly in his heart.

Soon, before Atazexis could pass out from a coma tormented by intense pain, a large herd of huge horses' hooves appeared before his eyes. After a frenzied trampling, the future founder of the Sassanid dynasty remained on the land forever.

With an awe-inspiring expression, Zhao Yun, who commanded his soldiers and horses to constantly assault and defeat the Persian cavalry who had no formation at all, had no idea that he had just killed a future king on the battlefield. He was busy directing the cavalry corps to sweep through the enemy army.

A powerful Han army cluster swept through the enemy army in this ancient land! (To be continued)
