Chapter 648: A Different War Outcome

But what should be arranged for tonight was still arranged, and by the evening, the Persian army had once again held the line, and Ostam took a deep breath and had had another difficult day, and his nostrils were already full of the smell of blood.

The dry, hot air allowed the smell of blood to spread far and wide, and Ostam looked at the ground around him that was gradually enveloped in a silvery white light, and if it weren't for the six thousand mounted cavalry, he would have been ready to die.

The expressions of the surrounding Persian soldiers have become numb, they are no longer the Persian soldiers of the Achaemenid Dynasty, the Persian soldiers of that period were invincible, and now, these soldiers only have numbness on their faces, if it were not for their land behind them, and their families behind them, they would probably not be able to hold out for long.

Today, the casualty rate of the Persian soldiers was much higher than that of the Arabs opposite, and in the dead of night, the news quickly came together, and the casualties of the Persian soldiers today were close to 10,000.

Ostam's face was a little ugly, which meant that the Persian army of 60,000 had gone close to 20,000, and if there were no tomorrow's 6,000 mounted cavalry, the casualties would probably increase tomorrow, and the army would not be far from collapse at that time.

Ostam's face was not good-looking, as was the Arab commander Sa'd ibn Abi Warqas bin Uhaib ibn Abd al-Mahnaf al-Zuhri, who was only a few kilometres away.

According to statistics, the casualty rate of Arab soldiers is also close to 10,000, and they only have 30,000 soldiers! If the Persians cannot be crushed within two days and the Persians begin to flee, the numerical disadvantage of the Arabs will be discovered by the other side, and the morale of the other side will be greatly boosted, and they will be defeated!

Said was well aware that the numerical disadvantage was not tight within a certain range, because ordinary soldiers could not observe so much.

It's like 60,000 people fighting 30,000 people, whether it's the enemy or your own side, you don't actually know that the gap between the two sides is so big, and the soldiers on the battlefield see the boundless, thinking that the number of soldiers on both sides is almost the same.

1,000 people against 2,000 people, 500 people against 1,000 people, it will be very conspicuous at a glance, and the side with more people will naturally have a great advantage!

The point is that their casualty rate can reach 1:3 at the beginning, but as their casualties increase, this casualty rate will gradually decrease, or even flat!

There was no word all night, and most of the soldiers who had fought all day fell directly to the ground and fell asleep, only the reserve army that had not had time to participate in the war during the day was on alert, and in this silent and vast land, there were faint wails and groans.

It was a wounded soldier among the corpses of the soldiers in the middle of the battlefield.

In the early morning of the third day, the two sides began to do the same thing, and both sides maintained a tacit understanding, that is, to drag away the corpses from the battlefield that stretched for several kilometers between the two sides, and carry the wounded down for treatment.

Arab women and children have dug graves in the valley behind, and the bodies will be carried over and buried, and almost all the men who can be drawn by the Arabs have entered the war.

The wounded soldiers were cared for by Arab women, who had no medical doctors, only simple bandages, and whether they survived or not depended on their lives.

The death of the previous day made the morale of the Persians very decadent, when they packed up the bodies of their comrades, the battle between the two sides was triggered again, and at this time the reinforcements led by Hasim arrived, instantly rushed to the battlefield, and returned with a great victory, and the Persians who were caught off guard suffered another defeat, but the Persians still brought a great threat to the Arabs after the next day's repaired war elephants.

And the Persians are still desperately resisting!

But seeing that the Persian defenses were in jeopardy, Hashim, who had come with the support of the Caliph (the early Arab political system, the figure who served as the political, military, judicial, educational, and religious head of the country was called the caliphate), led reinforcements to rush into the enemy line again, and became entangled with the enemy, all the Arab soldiers were demoralized and chanted the name of Allah, but at this time.

Something happened that shouldn't have been in history.

......A low and piercing horn sound resounded throughout the battlefield, and the sound of more than a dozen horns blowing together was like a basin of cold water, which was suddenly poured directly on the battlefield of the two sides that were fighting together.

Everyone knew what the trumpet meant, but they didn't know whose reinforcements it was, and at this time, Ostam was in a state of shock, and he had been riding on a war elephant when he saw the black line coming from behind the hillside in the distance, "Our reinforcements have arrived!" Reinforcements of the great Isùe III ......" Ostam froze in his tone.

Because the soldier who appeared in sight shone brightly, this ...... Not their Persian armor, could it be the Arabs?!

But soon, Ostam came to his senses, because he saw the Persian flag!

"Reinforcements from the great Isë III have arrived! Kill! Ostam was shocked and immediately roared, and the heralds around him immediately continued to roar these words.

The morale of the Persian soldiers who fell into a bitter battle was instantly shocked!

And in the same way, blowing the horn, the general of the Isai Guard, who commanded the entire army, took a deep breath and shouted: "Kill! ”

Dressed in the Ming Guang armor of the Tang Dynasty, with a thousand cavalry dressed in iron armor as the front team, followed by the cavalry also wearing Ming Guang armor, but the horses were only in leather armor, they all pulled out their long knives at their waists and launched a deadly charge against the Arabs!

After a night's rest, although they crossed the river from the lower reaches and drove a short distance, they had no problem with the horses, because they did not rush into the battlefield, but waited until the Arabs were completely out of formation before they began to join the battlefield, so all the mounted cavalry were extremely energetic!

Although they did not have the typical disposable cavalry guns in their hands, because those cavalry spears had already supported the front line, how terrible was it for mounted cavalry with only long knives to charge?

There was no complete infantry array, and when the real heavy cavalry charged into the battlefield from the flank, the terrifying deterrent power was instantly highlighted!

The frenzy on the faces of the Arabs, who had always dominated the period, faded, and fear welled up in their hearts.

What does it feel like to be engaged in an enemy and you're suddenly surrounded by a heavy cavalry behind you, and you're launching a deadly charge?!

The dull sound of horses' hooves resounded like thunder in the earth! The smoke and dust driven by the collective charge of the six thousand cavalry were like sandstorms coming from the sky, and the bright armor reflected the light of the sun, like the scythe of death.

The terrifying cavalry poured into them like a tidal wave!

Viewed from above, a line of black cavalry rushed straight into the hinterland behind the Arab army! All the Arab soldiers were instantly distracted, and at this time, the Persian soldiers who were strangled with the enemy were demoralized, and many people took advantage of the moment when the enemy was distracted to directly fight back, and the Persian soldiers directly counterattacked in an instant.
