The northern part of Oman is straddled by this mountain range.

To the south of the mountains, it is mostly desert.

To the north of the mountain range is the plain of the Gulf of Oman bordering the sea. There are many small rivers that flow from the mountains and through the plains into the sea, which is Oman's elite grain producing region.

The King of Oman occupied two-thirds of these splendid lands.

The remaining one-third is controlled by Zaid, so he can afford to raise three hundred cavalry.

The cavalry is indeed cavalry, but it is somewhat irregular. Only a few of the leaders were clad in chain mail, and the rest had no leather armor and fought in linen robes.

These guys, frightened by the enemy troops in the city, fled north in panic, wanting to hide in the mountains to avoid the edge for a while, and then come back after the Datong army left by boat. They still had more than 240 horsemen, and when they heard the sound of the horn, they turned their heads and found that Lu Tianxiang only brought more than 20 horsemen to chase after them.

Frightened and furious, Zaid turned his horse's head, raised his scimitar and said, "Blow the trumpet, kill these pursuers!" ”

Fleeing in panic, the Arab cavalry had distanced themselves from each other. Hearing Zeid's order, many of them did not have time to stop and continued to run a long way.

If you look down from the sky, more than 200 cavalrymen, one in the east and one in the west, gather in twos and threes to watch.

"Warriors, follow me to Imam Said!"

A leader in chain mail, ignoring Zeid's orders, suddenly rode his horse towards the east.

Moreover, the cavalry near this person actually rushed to follow, and directly abandoned Zayd.

"Come back, come back quickly!" Zeid shouted in panic.

Strictly speaking,

Saeed I of Oman was not the Sultan of Oman. Because of the imam system, there was no state even established, and the territory was only divided into dioceses. The identity of Saeed I is the imam revered by the whole of Arabia.

Moreover, the capital of Saeed I was five hundred miles to the east, and there were plains all the way. Even if you run twenty or thirty miles to the east, you will already enter the territory of Oman.

As mentioned earlier, the plains of the Gulf of Oman are the land of the elite, and Saeed I accounts for one-third of it

Two, how is it possible not to covet the remaining third?

He had already secretly sent people over to entrap him, trying to recruit Zayd's cavalry and pirates, but he had not yet negotiated a price.

At this time, the city of Sohar was captured by the Datong army, and the families of these cavalrymen were all in the city. In their opinion, the Datong army must have burned, killed and looted, and most of the family members would be killed or taken captive. Anyway, the family is ruined, and the future is hopeless, so it is better to take refuge in the great hero Said.

More and more Arab cavalry, despite Zaid's orders, rode eastward.

Zaid could no longer care about panic and anger, because Lu Tianxiang had already chased dozens of steps away. And the cavalry under his command, only a hundred people remained, and they stood scattered everywhere, as if considering how to choose.

Lu Tianxiang rushed closer and closer, and suddenly a cavalry leader, with a few cronies, dismounted and knelt on the ground, and actually surrendered directly to Lu Tianxiang. They are reluctant to let their families in the city flee into the mountains with Zaid or go east to join the great hero Said, they all feel that their family may be more than lucky.

In that case, then surrender directly!

In the future, following these Chinese will not only keep their families, but also eat fragrant and spicy food.

"Kill!"

Zeid knew he was finished, and if he didn't eat his pursuers, all his cavalry would have to leave him.

When Zaid again ordered a counter-charge, more than thirty more cavalry turned east to take refuge in the hero Said. There are also more than a dozen cavalrymen, deliberately distancing themselves, not fighting or fleeing, observing the battle situation to decide how to choose.

More than eighty Arab cavalry, there was no whole team at all, and there was no time to form a team, and they launched a charge.

"Protect the mother!"

A guard leader shouted, and several knights sped forward, clustering around Lu Tianxiang and charging.

Several of the war horses they drove came from Nanjing Horse Farm, and they can all be called "royal horses".

One horse died on the way to sea, and two fell ill and were left in India. Most of the remaining war horses were Indian horses bought from Wali, and a few were good horses bought from Persia.

The main production area of Persian horses was Sistan, located in the border basin between Iran and Afghanistan in later generations, and now belongs to the Persia and Mughals desperately contested. There are 800,000 horses in some literature, 400,000 in others, and whoever takes it will be able to dominate anyway.

In the final sentence, Lu Tianxiang is full of good horses.

And the Zayed cavalry, although they all rode Arab horses, the quality was somewhat uneven.

Several sentry cavalry caught up, and Lu Tianxiang's cavalry finally exceeded 30. The sentry cavalry actually made a detour to the side of the battlefield, trying to outflank and intercept two or three times the enemy army... Woohoo!

The Arab cavalry fired their arrows halfway and then went diagonally around the sides, unwilling to make contact with the Chinese cavalry. They were all light cavalry, and the enemy was all armored, and they would hedge and fight if they were sick in the brain.

On Lu Tianxiang's side, they are all the emperor's personal guards selected from the Northeast Cavalry Division.

To be honest, it was very annoying to fight, and it was easy to be kited by the light cavalry.

However, while fighting, the battlefield changed again.

The Arab cavalry, which went around to the east, saw that the arrows they fired did not work. There were more than a dozen horsemen who accelerated to the east, unwilling to continue fighting, and took the opportunity to defect to the great hero Said.

Lu Tianxiang thought that the enemy army on the east side had been defeated, and after a charge was over, he immediately waved his sword and shouted: "Chase the enemy!"

Immediately led all the cavalry and rushed to the enemy to the east, and several sentry horses on that side also cooperated with the charge.

Zaid led his troops back and chased Lu Tianxiang to shoot arrows. Lu Tianxiang ignored it and rushed towards the enemy on the east side at full speed, not caring about the Arab cavalry in other directions at all. Under the scorching sun, the imperial concubine from China charged like a sharp arrow, and thirty cavalry ran out of a formation of thousands of horses.

The enemy on the eastern side really collapsed.

They no longer fly kites and shoot arrows, but flee in a swarm, and in this direction they can take refuge in Said.

Choose. Under the leadership of the two leaders, he led his troops to charge straight towards Zaid, and the rest of the cavalry who surrendered also cooperated in shooting arrows at Zaid.

The Arab cavalry on the east side fled farther and farther, Lu Tianxiang felt that it was difficult to catch up, and saw that the enemy in the rear was fighting among themselves, so he immediately seized the opportunity to lead his troops to kill.

Zayd, who was entangled by traitors, his lungs were about to explode, and he fled north while shooting arrows.

Lu Tianxiang's blood was boiling at the moment, he bent his bow and arrows, and shot down the enemy in front of him with an arrow, which was a guy wearing a linen robe.

"Drive!"

Lu Tianxiang's crotch is a real royal horse, even in the Nanjing Racecourse, it is not open to the public, and only members of the royal family are allowed to ride.

The speed was getting faster and faster, and the guards behind him couldn't catch up at all, so Lu Tianxiang rushed into the enemy formation first.

In fact, there was no formation, all of them were already in chaos, and the Arab cavalry was fighting on their own, and they were chased and fled while shooting arrows.

"Whew!"

An arrow came, Lu Tianxiang couldn't avoid it, and the arrow was nailed to his shoulder and swayed. There were no injuries, blocked by lined chain mail......

"Protect the mother!" The guards shouted in panic.

But they couldn't catch up at all, Lu Tianxiang ran too fast, and he had thrown his subordinates far away in the blink of an eye.

Lu Tianxiang held a bow in his left hand, and slashed out with his right hand, slashing an enemy in front of him from his horse. Without slowing down at all, he rushed towards Zaid, trying to kill the enemy leader.

Along the way, Lu Tianxiang swung his knife one after another and cut down two more Arab cavalrymen.

It's not that the imperial concubine is superior in martial arts, but that she is well-equipped and not afraid of bows and arrows at all. At the same time, he rode a BMW, rushing up like flying, but the enemies were all fleeing, and Lu Tianxiang's slashing parts were all backs.

Zaid lay on his horse's back, looked back from time to time, and saw Lu Tianxiang slashing several people in a row, so frightened that his scalp was numb, and he didn't even shoot arrows, but just ran away at full speed. Approaching more than ten steps, Lu Tianxiang shot an arrow again.

The arrow went a little wide and landed on Zayd's horse's buttocks. Under the pain of the war horse, he suddenly ran faster, and Lu Tianxiang was so angry that he continued to ride his horse in pursuit.

After chasing five miles, the mounts of the two finally approached.

Zaid turned around in a panic and shot an arrow, and Lu Tianxiang subconsciously dodged. Because the distance was too close, he was shot in the face by an arrow, and the arrow grazed the skin, leaving a deep wound on Lu Tianxiang's face that could be seen on the cheekbone.

"Dang!"

Two horses in parallel.

Lu Tianxiang swung his knife and slashed out, and Zaid raised his scimitar to block, only then did he see that it was a woman chasing him.

"Dada-da-da!"

Another horse came after him, but it was the guard of the sentry horse. He didn't wear armor on his body, he rode a good horse, he traveled lightly and ran fast, and finally came to protect the princess at this moment.

Lu Tianxiang and Zaid have been fighting in parallel for a long time, and they don't know whether they win or lose.

But this non-armor-wearing guard is simply mad. The first time he attacked, he slashed Zaid's scimitar, and then reached out and grabbed Zaid, who was wearing chain mail, and lifted the whole person from his horse.

This guy is just a little captain of the guard......

Zeid didn't understand the situation at all, he felt like he was flying through the clouds, and then he was slammed to the ground, and he fainted as soon as his head hit the ground.

The guard Le Ma clenched his fists: "Niangniang is frightened, and it will be too late to save her." ”

Lu Tianxiang was so depressed that she wanted to roll her eyes, she finally caught up with the enemy general, although it was difficult to win for a while, but she could definitely defeat the other party. At this critical moment, she was robbed of her head, but she had to be grateful for this person's help.

"Thank you."

Lu Tianxiang threw down two words, UU didn't bother to pay attention to the enemy general, and immediately hit the horse and killed back.

The guards hurriedly dismounted, grabbed the fainted enemy general, threw him on the Arab war horse, and chased Lu Tianxiang in a panic.

The main battlefield has long been decided, a total of 56 Arab cavalry defected, killed 47 enemy cavalry, captured 18 enemy cavalry, and the rest of the enemy cavalry all fled, these light cavalry is really not easy to chase.

On Lu Tianxiang's side, one person was seriously injured and many people were slightly injured.

The one who was seriously injured was shot on the war horse, and even the man led the horse to fall down, and the tibia of the lower leg was crushed.

Lu Tianxiang was also injured, and the cheekbones were deep in the wound, and it is estimated that there will be scars on the face. Fortunately, the wound is not large, and if it heals well, it should not be too conspicuous.
