Chapter 243: The Edge End
The Sassanid front army, led by Krumu, rushed towards Adjara, while the rear army slowed down, looked in the direction, and circled the tortoise. There was a disconnect between the end and the end, which created opportunities for Hazard and Solomon to flank each other.
Hazard's cavalry was unequivocal, and they rushed hard with Krumu on the spot, and the cavalry on both sides collided, swords and swords, and the fight was very lively.
Solomon also saw this opportunity, and did not wait for Zhang Bai's order to immediately mobilize the whole army and attack Krumu's rear army. Together with the two hundred-man teams that had already been sent before, the Sassanid rear army had to fight with the camels again.
......
In the fierce melee, Zhang Bai rubbed his hands with excitement on the spaceship, he also wanted to join the battle group, but unfortunately the hydrogen bomb didn't recognize his friends, and it was not good to blow up his own people.
"Sure enough, Sister Mujing is a beauty, and the beauty is right. The hydrogen bomb also has great shortcomings!" Zhang Bai lamented.
At this time, Yu Ji and Lingling were both on the zero, and they both smiled when they saw Zhang Baihou's anxious appearance. "Listening to Mu Jing, you have already made quite a lot of progress in cultivating the technique of falling flowers and autumn leaves, right?" Yu Ji asked.
Zhang Bai didn't know why he was asking this, so he hurriedly replied: "What Uncle Shi said is true, but no matter how much you practice now, it's important to fight below!"
"If you want to join the war group, but you are afraid of hurting your own people, then it is better to use some less lethal techniques, such as the Falling Flowers and Autumn Leaves Technique. ”
"What?" Zhang Bai suddenly understood, but he couldn't think of what to do for a while, could it be that the grass on the ground would grow grass and trap the war horse?
"I don't understand this, please ask Uncle Shi to make it clear!"
Yu Ji called Zhang Bai and Lingling to his side, opened the hatch, faced the wind, made the two of them stare at the ground, and said loudly: "Teach you two the art of binding flowers and trees today, you listen carefully." ”
He taught the magic mantra and the heart method, and let the two try to practice with the soldiers who were fighting on the ground, anyway, this spell does not hurt people's lives, and it doesn't matter if you click on the wrong person.
In the melee, strange things happened, some horses were running and suddenly tripped over the grassroots, and even the men and horses fell to the ground with a fight; some cavalrymen were fighting, and suddenly their bodies were covered with vines, and they were dragged off their horses; and some of the horses were startled by the sudden growth of thatch, neighed and raised their front hooves, and threw the rider off the horse.
However, these are a minority, an isolated phenomenon, and in the melee, no one can figure out what is going on. Anyway, on the spaceship, Zhang Bai and Lingling had a super good time.
Yu Ji looked at these two children, and couldn't help but envy in his heart, it took him dozens of days to learn this binding technique, but these two in front of him were really talented to learn just a sentence.
"I have a successor!" Yu Ji smiled.
......
On the ground, Hazard personally charged with cavalry, and under his iron spear, Krumu's army began to crumble. His rear troops were coming up too slowly, but he himself had already rushed to the front and could not return to command to reorganize his troops.
The collapse of the cavalry was spectacular, and the Sassanids panicked and ran all over the wilderness. The sound of horses' hooves, shouts, and fighting mixed with the screams of men and the neighing of war horses on the plains, and there were pools of corpses and blood everywhere in the sun.
Krumme wanted to fight again, he brandished his sword and shouted to encourage the soldiers around him, but the defeat was overwhelming, and his efforts were no longer effective.
He looked at the few remaining personal soldiers around him, although they were still following him, their eyes were full of fear, and it seemed that they had no choice but to retreat.
During the retreat, Krumu managed to command the defeated soldiers to flee as far north as possible, avoiding the Indus River to the east. However, after narrowly bypassing the walls, Krumme and his cavalry saw a strange sight.
From the city walls, a long strip of thatch grew in the meadows that rose above the rest of the city, blocking the path of the cavalry. It was strange that the meadow had become a low wall, and it was so neat that all the thatch was as tall as it had been mowed down.
"Did God let me die here?" Crume cried out in a hurry, and had to direct his cavalry to speed all the way east along the grass wall, his eyes looking at the low wall as he ran, searching for possible gaps.
However, the grass wall seemed to be artificially made, there were no gaps at all, and Krumu was in a cold sweat, and his heart became more and more desperate.
At this moment, a cavalryman in front suddenly forced himself into the grass, but the war horse was completely unable to advance in the dense thatch, so he had to rely on manpower and cut a path with a scimitar.
As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Krumme immediately commanded the soldiers who could still be commanded, surrounded the gap, and ordered them to defend to the death, protecting the soldiers on foot who were desperately cutting down the thatch in front.
The appearance of this grass wall is naturally Zhang Bai's ghost, and he and Lingling are having a lot of fun on the spaceship. The ship was slowly approaching the Indus River along the grass wall they had made all the way east, extending a little with each point the ship advanced.
Because the spaceship was flying fast, Zhang Bai didn't notice the movements of Krumu behind him.
The number of soldiers who cut the thatch increased by several more, and the gap was finally cut out, and Krumu commanded the soldiers to continue to expand the gap, and sent people to continue to direct the Sassanid cavalry to pass through the gap, and he himself led a part of his own soldiers to quickly pass through the grass wall.
He was very scared in his heart, not only afraid that Adjar would chase him, but also afraid that there would be another grass wall in front of him, and he was afraid that he would return to the Sassanid Empire and be pursued by Shapur. At this time, he had mixed feelings, but all he could do was ride his horse and gallop.
After running for a while, he came all the way to the north of Peshawar, where the terrible grass wall did not reappear, and he heard someone calling behind him, and looked back to see that it was several of his own soldiers.
Klumu slowed his horse, and the men and horses behind him gradually gathered around, and soon a group of several hundred men was gathered. Krummu was about to lead his troops west along the city wall, but his soldiers stopped him, believing that it was too dangerous to go west through the northern gate of Peshawar and close to the Kushan army, and they suggested continuing north across the Kabul River and then turning west.
Krumu sighed in despair, looked back at Peshawar, and cursed viciously: "God will inflict sin on this city, causing them to starve, cold, and war, and as long as His Majesty does not put me to death, I will return to this place and wash away my shame!"
With that, the army went north to the Kabul River.
......
The elite of the 3,000 Sassanid cavalry, after this catastrophe, there were less than 1,000 men and horses who fled north with Krumu, and all their grain, grass and baggage were captured, including the five elephants.
Zhang Bai and Alexander bargained as usual, and divided the elephants, Alexander got three, Zhang Bai got two, plus an almost assembled siege engine.
This was what Zhang Bai insisted on, because only two of these siege engines had been assembled at the beginning of the war, and one of them was destroyed in the war.
