Chapter 241: Under the Green Shadow

Anyway, there was always a fight, he didn't want to hesitate, taking advantage of the opportunity that the Romans had deviated from the front on his left flank and Hazard had not yet activated on the right flank, at the sound of an order, half of the army showed its spears and shouted and rushed directly at the camel cavalry behind the Romans.

For a while, the earth shook, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the distance between the two armies quickly narrowed.

The camel cavalry was led by Solomon, who was also a general on the Parthian battlefield with real swords and spears with the Sassanids, and the Sassanids who rushed over were not nervous.

Solomon calmly gave the order, and the camels in the first and second rows turned around, and the camels lay on their sides, and the soldiers hid behind the camels, leaning on the heavy armor of the camels, blocking the Sassanid bows and spears, forming a makeshift trench. All the soldiers desperately fired arrows from behind the trenches to prevent the Sassanids from approaching.

This Sassanid cavalry was not the main force of the cavalry that had previously confronted Dadhebon in Parthia.

That main force was mainly the Immortal Army, which had been severely damaged by Zhang Bai and had not yet recovered. This force was now selected from the easternmost Sasanian territory near Kushan, and was an elite cavalry.

Krumu's previous exploits were mainly achieved during the unification of the Sassanid period and the fight to eliminate the Arab revolt.

Originally, Krumme thought that the camel cavalry would rush towards him like ordinary cavalry, and then he could take advantage of the camel's slow speed and thick neck to be easily attacked, and defeat them with spears.

However, when he saw that his opponent had turned his camel sideways and used it as a trench, Krumme immediately regretted it.

He found that the heavily armored camels had become an insurmountable obstacle. Camels were already larger than horses, and with heavy armor, they were easy to deal with the Sassanid light cavalry charge.

This trick, General Dadhebon in Parthia, has been used many times in battles with the Sassanids, Solomon, as an important general of Dadhebourne, naturally learned a lot, and has never met Dadhebun's Krumu, but it is the first time to see it, he understands in his heart that it is not good, and immediately ordered the trumpet to sound a signal to call the soldiers to withdraw.

The cavalry who rushed ahead had also found the armored camels in front of them, and the horses did not dare to jump over.

However, this cavalry was elite after all, and the head horse immediately turned around automatically, and at this time, Krumu's horn sounded, and the whole army immediately slowed down and turned, and the whole team passed in front of the camel line.

At this time, the right flank of the charging Sassanids was completely exposed to the heavily armored camel cavalry. Solomon, of course, would not let go of such a good opportunity, and while he ordered to intensify his archery, he ordered the camels in the first two rows to stand up and, under the cover of the bows and arrows in the back row, suddenly rushed towards the Sassanids.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically, and the Sassanid cavalry, in order to turn, had to make a big circle around the battlefield, among which the fastest runner was facing the camel cavalry. The slower runner was even worse, first killed and wounded by a rain of arrows, and then killed by a heavily armored camel, and the whole team was crushed sideways.

As soon as the fast cavalry swept in front of the ground formation, they suddenly found that the friendly troops around them were desperately fleeing, and the enemy's heavily armored camel soldiers were already chasing after them from behind. The soldiers did not know what to do, and they panicked, so they had to follow the large group all the way, join the defeated army, and continue to gallop forward in confusion.

The sudden collapse of the troops in front of him in the turn was somewhat unexpected for Krum, but he did not panic.

"Order the troops in the rear to rush forward, rush head-on, and everyone will see the real chapter. Krumme ordered.

The cavalry beside him immediately set out at the order, and rushed forward with a shout, and the fleeing cavalry also came to their senses, and immediately turned their horses' heads and rejoined the charge.

The camel cavalry and the Sassanid light cavalry collided head-on, and the camels were originally slightly inferior to the horses, but Solomon's troops were all heavily armoured and could not be difficult to counter against the light cavalry.

The two sides fought with knives and guns, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.

Solomon was familiar with such battles and was not in a hurry to fight himself, and his camels, under Solomon's command, joined the battle group in order, and steadily blocked Krumu's charge.

Krumme also did not send out all his troops, but kept his eyes on Eden Hazard. He knew very well that the most combat-effective in the Kushan array was Hazard's light cavalry.

Although the Roman Guards were also very strong, they were too small in number to be nervous, and the Janissary Army behind them suffered a new defeat and changed their leaders, although they were large in number, they were actually very difficult to command, and they were a rabble, and they were very inflexible on the battlefield.

The Praetorian Army, assembled in several phalanxes, followed by the Roman Guard, was advancing from west to east, gradually threatening Krumu's left flank. However, the pace of the infantry was too slow, and Krumme was not in the least worried.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the slow speed of the Kushan infantry to eat the camel cavalry in front of him first, so that even if Eden Hazard was dispatched, he could fight while retreating, and use the speed of the cavalry to temporarily throw off the infantry, eliminate the flank threat, and then reflexively fight a decisive battle with Hazard.

Unexpectedly, the combat effectiveness of the camel soldiers greatly surprised Krumu, and the current melee will slow down the army and make it fall into attrition.

For the enemy, this is the right time, and he reckons that it is almost time for Hazard to make a move.

In fact, Krumme left a hand, and he was waiting for Hazard. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Hazard's cavalry to move.

Hazard himself led his troops in front, and the team was very fast, but it was not directed at Krumu. They made a detour from the right flank of Krumu and did not engage Sassanid. Outflanked directly behind Krumu, from south to north, constantly throwing bows and arrows at the rear of the Sassanid army.

Sassanid soon began to have casualties, but they were not fatal. Klumu was a little puzzled, what is the significance of Hazard's move?

In the confusion, Alexander's infantry phalanx was gradually approaching Krum. At this time, the situation on the battlefield was that the Kushan coalition army had inexplicably changed from attacking from north to south.

On the right flank of the coalition forces itself, Adjara is constantly harassing but not attacking directly. In the middle were a large number of infantry approaching. The Parthian camels on the left flank, however, were attacked with almost all the strength of Krumu, and the two sides were inseparable. There is only the east of Krumu, where there is a road to retreat.

However, it was far from the time for a showdown, and Krumme took his Chinese army with him to guard against Hazard's possible blow at any time. He was unwilling to fight with a large number of infantry, and suddenly ordered the elephant soldiers to be sent.

All five elephants, all in one row, were lined up in front of Alexander.

For the Roman infantry, the Romans had not seen elephants on the battlefield for nearly three hundred years since Hannibal used them in the Second Punic War.

The Guards stopped, looking at the behemoths in bewilderment, and the phalanx of the Praetorian Army was even in disarray.
