Habir also seemed to be worried that Zhao Ziliang would launch an attack while his army was not yet firmly established, so he completed the formation transformation and deployment during the period of approaching.
When the two armies stopped after being two miles apart, the Khazar army's The military formation also completed its final deployment.
The strength of the Khazar Army is close to 20,000, which is nearly 10,000 less than the Western Qin Army.
Therefore, the width of the military formation is not as wide as that of the Western Qin Army, and the area occupied is not as good as that of the Western Qin Army, but it is not weak in terms of momentum.
From the perspective of completing the transformation and deployment of military formations during the march, Khazar Khan King Habir was a man with rich combat experience and had the experience of personally leading troops to fight and charge into battle.
Ma Lin pointed forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Khazar army has completed the deployment of military formations.
It seems that Habier is really good at it."
Zhao Ziliang observed for a moment and said: "We can't let them rest any longer.
Send me the king's military order and order the first unit of the escort to launch a tentative attack to see how Habier responds."
"Yes," Ma Lin agreed and immediately nodded to the herald.
Flags and bugle orders started at the same time.
After receiving the order, the first unit of the escort started.
The soldiers took out their bows and arrows, gently clamped their legs on the horse's belly, and the horse started to move forward.
After taking a few steps, it started to trot.
At this time, the rumbling war drums sounded.
The first cavalry soldiers of the escort army who had already started trotting became excited after hearing the fierce war drums.
They began to slap the horses' buttocks to urge the horses to speed up.
"Boom, boom, boom."
After more than two thousand cavalry began to charge, the sound of horse hooves spread like thunder, and the shouts of killing continued to come from the mouths of these cavalry.
When Habier saw a cavalry charge out of the Tang Army's center, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Isn't the King of Western Qin going to force Ben Khan to fight a decisive battle with him?
Why did he only send so few troops at the beginning?"
A captain next to him shook his head and said: "I don't know what the king of Western Qin has in mind, and we don't know their fighting methods.
This may be their habit."
Habier thought for a while and immediately said: "Never mind, let the 3,000 heavy infantry of the Eastern Roman Empire fight and attack immediately."
If there are cavalry and infantry, the infantry must be used first in battle.
If the cavalry is used first, the infantry can only follow behind and eat dust, and it will not play any role.
Moreover, these three thousand heavy infantry are supported by the Eastern Roman Empire.
They are not used in vain.
Habier will not be polite.
Treat them like guests.
Don't talk nonsense.
What's more, the world has the mentality of dead Taoist friends and poor Taoists.
Of course, he cannot let these Three thousand heavy infantry were idle.
"The heavy infantry dismounted and formed a formation," a general from the Eastern Roman Empire shouted.
When the three thousand heavy infantrymen heard the order, they immediately dismounted from their horses.
They had already put on their weapons, armors and other equipment, and now they could fight immediately as long as they dismounted and formed a formation.
The gathering speed was very fast, and the horses were led away by the Khazar cavalry behind them.
The three thousand heavy infantry of the Eastern Roman Empire, which formed a neat and strict horizontal rectangular square, held up their shields and spears under the orders of their generals.
They stepped on the drums and let out uniform roars to greet the two thousand Western Qin Army cavalry who rushed over.
"The infantry stopped advancing and set up gun emplacements" "Boom!"
With the sound of neat footsteps, the three thousand Eastern Roman heavy infantry stopped advancing.
Everyone put their shields on the ground and thrust their several-meter-long spears diagonally into the ground in the direction of the Western Qin army.
Their feet He stood in a bow stance, holding a spear in one hand and the handle of the shield in the other, staring intently at the Western Qin Army cavalry that was charging over.
"Fire arrows!"
About 150 meters away, Liang Jin, the first general of the guard army, roared and shot an arrow.

The cavalrymen of the Western Qin Army behind him also shot arrows.
"Swish swish" Upon seeing this, the Eastern Roman general immediately shouted: "Shield formation!"
Upon hearing the order, all the Eastern Roman heavy infantry immediately put their shields over their heads.
There was not even a single gap between each shield.
Only the spears were stuck diagonally on the ground, and the flying arrows landed on the shield array and made bursts of sound.
With a clanking sound, except for a few unlucky ones who were hit in the feet by arrows, some arrows hit their calves, but they were blocked by the steel plates of the leg guards.
Zhao Ziliang could see clearly with a telescope from the rear.
This Eastern Roman heavy infantry was indeed famous in the West for its strong defensive power.
Arrows had basically no effect on it.
Not allowing Zhao Ziliang to hesitate, he immediately ordered: "Quickly send an order to split the first unit into two and go around the enemy's heavy infantry on both sides.
Shoot them back and forth from the flanks.
Wang Can, put out what you have prepared to deal with these three thousand enemy heavy infantry." infantry" "Yes, Your Majesty" After several horns sounded, the first guard of the Western Qin Dynasty, which had rushed fifty miles in front of the 3,000 Eastern Roman heavy infantry, quickly separated from the middle, moved to both sides, and kept shooting arrows, allowing the Eastern Roman heavy infantry to Cannot move.
At this time, a passage was opened among the Western Qin army, and two hundred Western Qin cavalry were divided into two teams and ran out of the passage directly towards the three thousand heavy infantry of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Each team was dragging a long A long iron chain drags a thick and long huge steel rake between the two long iron chains.
This steel rake is cylindrical with countless spikes on it.
The two iron chains drag it.
It flew over the ground toward the three thousand heavy infantry of the Eastern Romans.
The distance was too far, and Habier could only see the two thousand Western Qin cavalry split into two and bypass his three thousand heavy infantry, and then began to shoot arrows back and forth at the heavy infantry square, but the effect was not great, and there was a rush from behind.
About two hundred cavalry came out and surrounded the heavy infantry square in the shape of a wild goose.
What effect could this have?
Habib I ignored the two hundred Western Qin cavalry who appeared later.
He felt that he could not let the two thousand Western Qin cavalry bite the heavy infantry.
He immediately ordered his general: "Send two thousand fine cavalry to deal with this Western Qin cavalry."
Qin's 2,000 cavalrymen were not allowed to fire arrows at the heavy infantry phalanx and overwhelm them."
"Yes, Tasihan" The Khazars increased their strength again.
This was immediately seen by Zhao Ziliang.
He found that the two thousand Khazar cavalry who rushed out were heading towards the first unit of the escort.
He immediately ordered: "Order the first unit of the escort to give up surrounding the enemy."
Heavy infantry, go up to them and defeat these two thousand Khazar cavalry."
"Yes, Your Majesty" "I'm a little thirsty, bring me a bowl of tea."
Zhao Ziliang said and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.
The two wings of both sides have not moved yet.
Only the Chinese army has two or three thousand people in each place.
Fighting is like gambling.
It has not been done yet.
You can't bet all your money as soon as you play before you know the details of the opponent.
That's stupid behavior.
The personal guard brought a bowl of tea, and Zhao Ziliang drank it.
He saw that the thousands of people sent by each side of the Chinese army had not yet determined the results, and the right wing of the Khazar army began to launch an all-out charge.
Ma Lin immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, the Khazars have launched a full-scale attack on our left wing."
"I saw it."
Zhao Ziliang frowned and said, "These Khazars have been migrating to the West for so long.
How come they haven't learned the Western practice of keeping reserve troops in the war?"
Bai Xiaode's left-wing troops sent the first and second troops.
The first and third parts are ready to fight, and the fourth and fifth parts are on standby.”

"Yes" the herald immediately agreed, and the secretary next to him quickly recorded Zhao Ziliang's order with pen and ink.
On the one hand, the command order of the leading general was recorded on the spot for future inspection to see if there were any mistakes in the command.
On the other hand, It is also for study and discussion afterwards.
It also has an extremely important role.
The commander can promptly Checking which soldiers and horses have been dispatched and which ones are still on standby can help the commander to conduct on-the-spot command.
After all, there are too many military numbers for tens of thousands of troops, and commanders sometimes cannot remember which military numbers they have.
They haven't been dispatched yet.
Which numbers of troops have been dispatched?
If you forget, just look at the record and you will remember it immediately.
After Bai Xiaode received the military order, he immediately drew his sword and pointed forward: "The first, second, and third units attack the enemy and kill them."
"kill" Six thousand cavalry from the Western Qin left wing were dispatched.
The total strength of the Western Qin army was greater than that of the Khazar army, so there were more troops and horses on the left wing.
Six thousand cavalry were dispatched this time, and the right wing of the Khazar army was only With six thousand men, both sides were equally equipped to charge.
It just depended on who could fight better and whose combat power was stronger.
At this time, the showdown between the Chinese army and the Chinese army changed.
Two hundred Western Qin troops dragged huge steel rakes in a wild goose formation and circled the two wings of the 3,000 Eastern Roman heavy infantry.
The huge steel rakes in the middle were dragged to the extreme.
Roll towards the heavy infantry phalanx at a fast speed The Eastern Roman general was horrified when he saw it.
It would be better if he was hit by this thing.
He immediately wanted to order the heavy infantry to retreat, but it was too late to retreat at this time, and Habier did not order them to retreat.
They could not retreat at all.
Now they can only I can pray to God that the heavy infantry phalanx can withstand the collision of this thing.
"Oh, God, what is this?"
A large number of Eastern Roman heavy infantrymen in the front row saw the steel rolling rake rushing towards them at high speed through the gaps in their shields.
They were all so frightened that their faces turned pale and their limbs were shaking.
The centurion in the front row was also very frightened, but he knew not to be afraid, and immediately shouted: "Don't be afraid, put your shield on the ground to block it, quickly climb up and put your shield on the ground to block this terrible thing, the soldiers on both sides quickly pull out Use your daggers to cut off the iron chains."
With a loud "boom", the steel rake finally hit the shield formation of the Eastern Roman heavy infantry in the front row at an extremely fast speed.
The Eastern Roman heavy infantry in the front row were knocked to the ground together with their shields.
Some were knocked down by shields, others hit by the spikes on the rollers.
The steel roller was like a huge stone roller.
Pulled by two teams of Western Qin cavalry on horseback, it swept through the Eastern Roman heavy infantry phalanx at an extremely fast speed.
The heavy infantry phalanx was vulnerable to this huge steel roller. , wherever the steel roller passed, a large piece of corpse was left on the ground that was crushed into meat patties.
A large amount of blood splashed, flowing on the ground, dyeing the grass on the ground red.
The shield phalanx of three thousand Eastern Roman heavy infantry was actually destroyed by two hundred Western Qin cavalry with steel rollers, and caused extremely heavy losses to them.
After this crushing, the surviving Eastern Roman heavy infantry had already There were less than five hundred people.
Those who survived were tripped by iron chains and it was extremely difficult to get up.
In order to survive, these Eastern Roman heavy infantry had to touch their heavy armor and discard their long guns and short swords, but they Can people survive on this battlefield without protection:
