The king of Sigistan, who was on the left flank of the coalition forces, had eagle-like eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Sigistan is not outstanding in terms of population or size among the Seljuk vassals, and its national strength is not strong, it is not for nothing that he can win the favor of Sajjar.

From the king of Sigistan to his vassal nobles, the people of this country are extremely brave and warlike, and have good fighting power.

Through his own eyes, the king of Sigistan saw the "weakness" of the Huaxia army.

In his opinion, this weakness is unforgivable, and it is even more unforgivable if he sees it and does not grasp it.

"The whole army is ready for a surprise attack." He categorically ordered.

He commanded the left flank of the coalition army, the soldiers belonging to the state of Sigistan, and immediately began to prepare for the assault when he heard his order. But there were also non-Sigistani sergeants who were worthy of him, and had doubts about his orders. A Seljuk nobleman came up to him and asked him why he had given this order: "Why are you asserting your own orders before you have received an order from the Sultan?" ”

"We are here several miles away from the Sultan's main formation, and when the messenger with the order arrives, the fighter plane will be lost. Since I have been appointed commander-in-chief of the left wing, I have the right to decide on the strategy according to the changes in the battlefield! The king of Sigistan glared back fiercely: "You don't feel right about my order, you can go and complain to His Majesty the Sultan afterwards, but now, please return to your own army and prepare for a surprise attack according to my order!" ”

He had considerable prestige among the Seljuk coalition, and after he had forced him back, no one dared to question his decision.

It was only slightly slower than Sigistan, and Sajar Sultan no longer hesitated after confirming that the Huaxia army really only had 6,000 men.

No matter whether Zhou Quan is dead or alive, what tricks the Huaxia Army has, in the face of absolute power, it has no meaning. With such a thin military formation, as long as his subordinates attacked with all their might, a single impact would be enough to penetrate it, making all the rest of the Huaxia Army's arrangements a joke!

On the contrary, his right flank army, the Silara Khan, felt that the Chinese army should not be so weak, so he was still cautious, and did not order to follow up until both the Chinese army and the left flank began to advance and assault.

At this time, the Huaxia Army had also advanced the array to a distance of no more than a hundred steps from the enemy.

The drum beat suddenly became louder, then stopped abruptly, and then changed to a new rhythm. The soldiers in the front row of the Huaxia Army were expressionless, and one by one they raised their muskets in their hands, leveled them up, and took aim, just as they had done thousands of times in their peacetime training.

From the proportion of muskets equipped by the Fourth Army, it is inferred that Zhou Quan's musket productivity is very limited. But in fact, he guessed the result correctly, but did not guess the reason correctly, and the reason why he could not get a musket in his hands was not that the number of muskets produced was insufficient, but that the loss in daily training was too great, and the scale of productivity expansion could not keep up.

Each of these musketeers broke at least three barrels during their training!

So every musketeer is an elite, and every musketeer has undergone rigorous and intensive training.

The 1,000 musketeers in the front row had already found their own target, and the image of the enemy was the only thing on their minds at this time in the lookout hill above the barrel of the musket.

Then the drum beat changed again.

On the opposite side of the Huaxia Army, the left flank and the two-way coalition army in the center that came by the assault, they first saw the faint white smoke rising, and then heard a continuous crisp sound, and then, what they saw was that the comrades on the left side of them screamed and screamed one by one, and even fell to the ground without saying a word.

"Attack, attack, archers ready!"

The central army, under the volley of muskets, slowed down its offensive a little, but the left flank of the king of Sigistan did not. Siystan was also amazed at the lethality of the enemy's weapons, but he suppressed this surprise and replaced it with what seemed to him the most correct order.

The opponent's weapon should be a miniaturized artillery, and since the opponent is using a range, then your own ranged will also come in handy. The ranged class in their hands is the archer, which is also the class that the Seljuks are extremely proud of, and as for the ultimatum to Zhou Quan, they have not forgotten to brag about how powerful their archers are, and they can even shoot Zhou Quan's beard with one arrow.

However, the king of Sigistan soon realized that his archers were no longer useful.

With the beat of the drums, the second round of shooting began. The same was to see the white smoke rise, then to hear the sound of firecrackers, and then to the archers in leather armor who tried to shoot in formation, fell in pieces.

The opponent's range is one-third or even one-half farther than that of an ordinary bow and arrow!

Even if you hold the strongest bow in your hand, you can't effectively kill the soldiers of the Huaxia Army at this distance!

"Ironclad attack to cover the archers!" The king of Sigistan ordered again.

Because of the limited financial resources, there were not many heavily armored soldiers in Sigstan, and most of the subject countries of the Seljuk Empire were not as good as Sigstan, so the number of ironclad soldiers they sent was only more than a thousand. These people have shields in their hands and are slow to move, but they have terrifying offensive and defensive abilities. Originally, the king of Sigistan was going to use them when the two armies were officially engaged, and regarded them as a living force that would determine the victory, but after seeing the range of the opponent's muskets, he had to use this army, which could have been used to determine the victory, as a shield consumable.

This is also a problem that he has been in battle for a long time, and he discovered the musket in only two rounds, which can only shoot directly, not throw!

As long as the projectile fired by the musket could not penetrate the heavy armor, the heavy infantry would always come forward, and the archers who followed behind would not be fired by the musket, and after entering the firing range, they could counterattack the Chinese army by throwing fire.

The wishes are beautiful, but the reality is bleak.

It is true that the projectiles of the musket do not penetrate the heavy armor easily, but its impact is strong enough to deform the heavy armor and thus injure the soldiers inside.

The heavily armored soldiers either had broken bones or had their internal organs shattered, and one by one they fell to the ground howling. Originally, it was a very difficult thing to carry this armor of dozens of pounds, but now that they are injured, how many people can hold on?

Therefore, the Huaxia army fired in two rounds, and there were very few ironclad infantry in front of the archers, and the archers who found that they had lost cover fled back one after another, but behind them, the Huaxia army followed with another round of shooting, so they harvested two or three hundred lives again.

In less than five minutes after the start of the battle, the left and center armies of the Seljuk coalition army had already suffered more than 2,000 casualties!

Between the two armies, a line of death composed of dead and wounded coalition officers and soldiers lay across the flat yellow earth. On one side of the death line, the Seljuk coalition army, which has begun to be a little chaotic, and at the other end, there is the Huaxia army, which has not suffered a single casualty so far!

Yang Zaixing was in the Huaxia army, but he did not stand at the head of the platoon, he and his subordinates were in the rear. Beside him, Yan Chong half-squatted, with a stunned expression.

Chong Yanchong originally admired Zhou Quan very much, and now this admiration has reached the point of worship. He is also familiar with military strategy, and after seeing the results of the musket, he knows that the essence of human warfare will change from now on, even if it is a musket, the changes brought to the war are not as good as the musket!

Moreover, this weapon makes killing easier and simpler, which means that the casualties in the war will be even more tragic in the future!

Fortunately, this kind of tragedy will be more of an enemy of China.

As soon as he thought of this, Chong Yanchong felt lucky, laughed three times, and then cried three more times.

"You're sick!" Yang Zaixing glanced at him.

Yang Zaixing was extremely dissatisfied with bringing this guy to "observe" the battle, which made his team lose the opportunity to enter the front line of the battlefield at the beginning.

"I rejoice because I see it, I cry because I think of my grandfather, my uncles and brothers!" Chong Yanchong's voice choked.

If they had such a weapon, perhaps their breed would not have been nearly dead.

Hearing him say this, Yang Zaixing couldn't be sarcastic, he returned his gaze to the battlefield, staring closely at the left flank of the coalition army.

He had a hunch that there would be a change in the left flank of the coalition forces.

"Cavalry assault, this is our only chance!" On the left flank of the coalition forces, the king of Sigistan raised his scimitar and roared with his head held high.

Beside him, more than a hundred nobles of Sigistan also raised their scimitars and roared to the sky.

Sigistan made this decision because he felt that he had seen another weakness of the musket, that it took far more time to reload and fire than it would take to wind up the bow and arrow.

Between every two rounds of firing of the Huaxia Army, there is a gap of about half a minute, this is his chance, the infantry can hardly pass through the death zone in front of the two armies in half a minute, but for the cavalry, this distance, it does not take half a minute!

In this way, they only need to brave one round of fire at most, they can rush into the Huaxia army, use the scimitars in their hands, harvest the lives of those Huaxia soldiers who lack heavy armor, and most importantly, disrupt their formation, so that they can no longer put out this line of death, so as to buy precious time for the follow-up troops.

The noble rider of Sigistan is the most important trump card in the hands of the king of Sigistan, and in many years of war, as long as he uses this card, he has not lost.

It's just that the king of Sigistan didn't know that as soon as the flag on his side moved, on the opposite side, the drum beat immediately changed.

Yue Fei saw that in the battle just now, the left flank of the coalition army attacked the most fiercely, so he suffered the most casualties, and also noticed that his right flank was initially sluggish, and after discovering the power of the musket, this sluggishness even turned into a sluggish patrol.

He also made up his mind, ordering all the reserves remaining in the rear to move to his right flank, that is, the left flank of the coalition forces.

Although the left flank of the coalition army was brave, as long as it broke through one more round of their attack, this wing would definitely have to withdraw and rest, and that was when the Huaxia army counterattacked. The strength of the army is strong, although it seems a little sluggish, but it is not idle to break through. As for the right flank, the main general was obviously lacking in courage, and Yue Fei judged that the other party would not put himself in danger in order to rescue his allies.

Therefore, this battle has just begun, and it is already time to decide the outcome of the battle, as long as the left flank of the Seljuk coalition army is defeated, the next thing to do is to clean up the battlefield!
