A new day is fast approaching, and the weather is still the same as yesterday, still a sunny day. But unlike yesterday, in the early morning of this day, that is, the fourth day of the confrontation between the main forces of Datang and Dashi, Dashi changed its previous small-scale temptation and passive avoidance of battle, and suddenly came out of the joint camp, lined up and was five miles away from the Anxi camp, putting on a posture of preparing for a decisive battle.

Not only that, from early in the morning, Qi Yade and Ai Buda sent nearly 2,000 ranger sentry to advance to the side of the Anxi army, maintaining the pressure on the Anxi scout sentry and preventing their side from being attacked and harassed by the Anxi army when they marched in formation.

With a strong desire to fight, the Anxi sentinel cavalry, which had been suppressed for a day, was naturally-for-tat, and also sent more than 1,000 Anxi, Gelulu, and Ningyuan sentinels to fight against it. What they didn't expect was that the big food army, which was still a soft-footed shrimp yesterday, fought extremely resolutely at this time, not only sent the most elite Syrian cavalry, but also did not give an inch.

The 500 Ansi sentinels fought several times with the 1,000 Khorasan cavalry, and the Anxi cavalry relied on the tactics of intensive charging and the superiority of morale, killing more than 600 enemies at the cost of less than 100 deaths, and finally forced the opponent to retreat. But on the other side, the 400 Qarluq sentinels were overtaken and surrounded by 700 elite Syrian cavalry, suffering heavy casualties. If it weren't for the Anxi Sentinel's cavalry to come to the rescue immediately after killing and retreating the enemy, these 400 Qarluq cavalry would have been wiped out.

It was not until the two sides were separated by two miles and arranged their own positions that the sentinel cavalry of both sides retreated to their respective positions, and were responsible for guarding and scouting on both flanks. At this time, everyone found out that there were nearly 400 of the 500 Anxi sentinels sent out, and the loss of the 400 Ningyuan cavalry was less than 10%, but the Qarlu cavalry was sent out with 400 and came back less than 80.

At that time, Qarlulu Yehutun Viga felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it. Maybe it's a coincidence, the Great Food Cavalry can't beat the Anxi Cavalry, so they can only pick up the two soft persimmons of Ge Lulu and Ning Yuanguo's cavalry, but it just happens to be himself.

Behind the large array of the Anxi Army, Gao Xianzhi, Li Siye, and Ma Lan stood on top of a temporary watchtower and looked west. Through the binoculars, Gao Xianzhi Zhen was engrossed in observing the heavy cavalry phalanx of the Great Food Army and the Syrian cavalry phalanx.

Other formations such as the Khorasan light cavalry phalanx, the Arab militia phalanx, the Maiwali infantry phalanx, and the Khorezm mercenary phalanx Gao Xianzhi didn't pay much attention to it, only these two teams gave Gao Xianzhi a headache. The 2,000 armoured horsemen under Abda's command were all exceptionally tall and majestic Arabian horses, all heavily armoured, armed with spears and scimitars, as well as throwing spears and throwing axes, armed to the teeth. Standing there, like a steel wall, the frontal charge completely crushed the Anxi cavalry.

There was also the Syrian mercenaries of about 5,000 men, although they rode silently on their horses, compared to the Khorasan cavalry with excited faces and howling, the momentum was simply too far behind. But at first glance, he is a real veteran of a hundred battles, silent and murderous, and he can feel it from afar, this is the real dangerous enemy.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, there were bursts of shouts on the line of the Great Eclipse Front, and it seemed that the Lord would begin to speak. Then the horn began to sound, and more than 10,000 McWali infantry slowly approached the Anxi infantry with shields and spears in hand.

The soldiers who walked in the first two rows stacked their shields on top of each other to form a tight shield wall, and the bows and crossbows of the Anxi army suddenly lost their power. Not far behind this infantry army were three thousand Syrian cavalry and two thousand Khorasan cavalry closely following.

In the Anxi army formation, Ma Lan and Li Siye and other leading generals all went down to the watchtower when the Great Food Army began to speak, and at this time, they all eagerly looked at Gao Xianzhi's order flag on the watchtower.

Gao Xianzhi on the watchtower was a little confused, it was easy to understand that the infantry holding a big shield to attack the infantry phalanx of the Anxi Army was very understandable, but what was the 3,000 most elite Syrian cavalry and 2,000 Khorasan cavalry going to do?

This is the most elite light cavalry of the Great Food Army at present, and the number of Syrian cavalry is very small, and the total number of Syrian cavalry does not exceed 5,000, and the Khorasan cavalry has been hit many times, and now there are only 5,000 of them, so they are willing to take out half of it for charging into battle? Could it be that Ziyad thought that with only a queue of more than 10,000 people, the Maiwali infantry composed of new recruits on the battlefield could break through the Anxi army's strong bows and crossbows and the infantry formation with swords like walls, so that the five thousand light cavalry behind could take advantage of the situation to cover and kill?

It's a joke!

Gao Xianzhi couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it, he ordered loudly: "Ma Lan, you lead three thousand cavalry, go around behind them, harass and flank the enemy army. ”

With the fierce wave of the command flag, the 3,000 Anxi troops on the left flank, under the leadership of Ma Lan, roared out, bypassing the right flank of the Great Eclipse Infantry, and outflanking the Syrian and Khorasan cavalry behind them.

Seeing that the Anxi cavalry moved, Qi Yade, who was commanding the battle in the watchtower, also immediately ordered that four thousand Khwarazm cavalry in front and one thousand heavy cavalry in the rear, and pounced on the attacking Anxi cavalry.

At this time, Ma Lu's subordinates had just taken off their cavalry bows and fired two rounds of arrows at the backs of the infantry advancing on the flanks. Shooting two or three hundred of McWally's infantry, their formation began to be a little chaotic. Four thousand Khorezm light cavalry were already rushing towards them.

Ma Lan looked at it, and he didn't understand that the other party was trying to entangle himself with light cavalry, and then the heavy cavalry charged to break the enemy. He yelled: "Change the long soldiers, rush over!" ”

The 3,000 Anxi troops immediately gathered up, formed a dense formation, changed their spears and horse lances, raised the speed of their horses to the highest speed, and the right flank of the Khorezm cavalry slanted into it.

Almost without pause, the 3,000 Ansi light cavalry cut through the right flank of the 4,000 Khorezm cavalry, and swept away nearly a quarter of the opponent's cavalry at once like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Before they were entangled with the cavalry on the left flank and the heavy cavalry were chasing after them, they turned to the left, ran out for one or two hundred steps, got rid of the entanglement of the other party at once, and then turned around again and lined up.

Ma Lu's idea is also very simple, if your light cavalry comes to chase, if it is close, I will turn around and continue to run; If the heavy cavalry is far away, I will chisel it a few more times until I eat the light cavalry completely. At that time, this heavy cavalry and iron turtle have been chasing for so long, I don't believe you can still run!

In the center of the battlefield, the Mawali infantry and 3,000 Syrian cavalry and 2,000 Khorasan cavalry continued to slowly approach the Ansi infantry formation. Behind them, the cavalry consisting of 2,000 Syrian cavalry, 1,000 heavy cavalry, 6,000 Khorezm cavalry, and 10,000 cannibal militia also slowly followed. At the same time, three thousand Khorasan cavalry were again sent to join the pursuit of Ma Lu's troops.

In addition, Qi Yad also ordered 20,000 cannibal militia to make a large circle from the left and right flanks respectively, preparing to circle to the rear of the Anxi army array. At this time, he had already fought with hundreds of sentinels and rangers on the side of the Anxi army.

On the other side, Gao Xianzhi also ordered a thousand Mo sword soldiers to meet him, and the distance between the infantry on both sides had approached to within seventy steps. Anthi archers began to shoot back at this McWali. As arrows fell, the formation of the McWali volunteers had begun to fall apart. As soon as they come into contact with the Mo Dao soldiers, it will be a one-sided slaughter.

At that time, instead of being able to break through the infantry formation of the Anxi army, they would immediately collapse, and then they would be forced to turn around and retreat backwards by the Anxi army's sword soldiers and crossbowmen, and dash and crush the array of 3,000 Syrian cavalry and 2,000 Khorasan cavalry behind. Coupled with the blows of the Mo sword soldiers and Anxi crossbowmen in the back, these five thousand elite light cavalry were only afraid that they would be immediately exhausted.

According to the assistant minister, Naziad is also a famous general, how could he do such a stupid thing after fighting so many battles?

However, the opponent's cavalry is too much, and it is pressed up so much at once. The infantry of the two armies was about to engage in battle, and the first task of the Anxi army's crossbowmen and Mo sword soldiers was to defeat the enemy in front of them, and there was no time to deal with these cavalry for a while. If it was at the critical moment, these cavalry desperately rushed towards the flank of the crossbowmen, and only 700 Mo sword soldiers were left to protect them. If the cavalry is allowed to break through the barrier of the Mo sword soldiers and the jumping soldiers and enter the crossbowman phalanx, the consequences are not conceivable!

"Xi Yuanqing, bring two thousand cavalry!"

Gao Xianzhi gave an order, and Xi Yuanqing immediately roared away with two thousand cavalry. And the Great Food side immediately sent 6,000 Khwarazm cavalry and 1,000 heavy cavalry to meet the enemy. Like Ma Lan, in the face of the pursuit of the six thousand Khwarazm cavalry, Xi Yuanqing also brushed through his left flank, eating away at the opponent's light cavalry little by little without letting the heavy cavalry catch up.

When the Mo Dao soldiers were still fifty paces away from the front row of Maiwali infantry, the cavalry composed of 10,000 Great Food Militia suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the left flank of the Anxi Infantry Army. Gao Xianzhi ordered the four thousand Ningyuan Kingdom archers to harass and contain them with riding bows; Immediately afterwards, another cavalry consisting of 2,000 Syrian cavalry and 5,000 militia accelerated to the right flank of the Ansi infantry army, oppressing the Ansi crossbowmen more than 200 paces away.

"Don Biga, take the Qarluq cavalry up, harass and contain it!" Don Biga immediately led more than 3,000 Garluq cavalry to lead the way. Gao Xianzhi got off the watchtower, turned over and rode on Feihong, and now there are fifty guards and two or three hundred Anxi cavalry left in the Chinese army's big array.

And at this time, a thousand Mo sword soldiers finally engaged with 10,000 Maiwali infantry, and they slashed down in unison, instantly cutting down all the enemy's first row of infantry. Seeing that the Mo sword soldiers advanced a few more steps, the 10,000 al-Mawwali infantry would all be crushed, turning around and charging the 3,000 Syrian cavalry and 2,000 Khorasan cavalry following them.

When the Anxi infantry army defeated the enemy in front of them in a large array, the Ningyuan cavalry and Gelulu cavalry, who were scattered to harass and contain the enemy's cavalry, could withdraw under the cover of crossbowmen and look for fighters. The Anxi cavalry under Ma Ling and Xi Yuanqing could also find a way to go around and maneuver with the enemy cavalry with the cooperation of crossbowmen.

However, at this moment, the five thousand light cavalry who were following the Mawali infantry suddenly turned around and charged at full speed towards the Qarluq cavalry! At the same time, the cavalry composed of 2,000 Syrian cavalry and 5,000 militiamen, who were far away from the Qarluq cavalry, also desperately divided into two directions and pressed towards the Qarluq cavalry at full speed!
