"The invincible heavy infantry phalanx of the Eastern Roman Empire was broken in this way.
Three thousand men were defeated by two hundred cavalry and a spiked roller."
Habier and several captains around him turned pale when they saw it, and they all looked in disbelief.
As a diplomat of the Eastern Roman Empire, Hetius was trembling all over and kept chanting: "Oh God, it is impossible that the invincible heavy infantry phalanx for thousands of years is so vulnerable.
Not true” Although Habier couldn't believe it, he was no longer in the mood to care about why these three thousand heavy infantry were defeated by two hundred cavalry, because the two thousand cavalry he sent out in the Chinese army had been killed by two thousand Western Qin cavalry.
After successive defeats, the Western Qin cavalry could not But their equestrian skills are superb, and their riding and archery skills are much better than the cavalry of the Khazar Khanate.
They can shoot arrows without pulling on the reins, and they can also control their horses to turn, stop, and turn around with their legs.
They can even use the sprint of their horses.
Speed makes arrows shoot farther In the first round of shooting, the two thousand Khazar cavalry suffered a heavy loss.
Although their riding and shooting skills were very good, their accuracy was not as accurate as that of the Western Qin cavalry, and their equipment and armor were even worse than those of the Western Qin cavalry.
There is a big difference.
They wear cowhide armor, some have no armor and wear sheepskin clothes, while the Western Qin cavalry all wear steel armor.
This kind of steel armor is cast using stamping technology.
It is not only powerful in defense, but also very thin and light.
After three consecutive rounds of shooting, the Khazar cavalry suffered a heavy loss.
The two thousand men and horses lost more than 800 people.
After the two sides came into contact, they each drew their swords to kill.
The Western Qin cavalry used their sprint speed and the sharpness of their swords. , causing the Khazar cavalry to suffer heavy losses.
As long as they were hit, they would either be seriously injured or die directly.
However, after the Western Qin cavalry was hit, their armor withstood a lot of damage.
After many people were hit, their armor was not hit. break.
The strength gap between the two sides was clearly revealed in this battle.
When only about 500 of the 2,000 Khazar cavalry were left, Habier finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He knew that if he didn't make arrangements, these 500 people would be gone in an instant.
He would be eaten by the Western Qin army in a short time, and he immediately ordered: "Order these five hundred people to retreat to the right wing and join the right wing to fight."
A captain standing next to him asked: "Tacihan, what about the Chinese army?
We can't leave these more than 1,600 Western Qin cavalry alone.
What if they charge directly here?
What if they pursue those 500 people?"
what to do" Habier waved his hand and said: "Never mind so much for now, let's see how the people of Western Qin respond."
"yes" At this time, the left wing of the Western Qin Army and the right wing of the Khazar Army were also fighting inextricably.
At first, both sides formed a dense formation to attack each other.
As a result, the front row suffered heavy losses.
After such a violent collision, The Khazars suffered a little loss because of the physique, strength and frame of their war horses.
The Khazars' horses were from the northern grasslands, and their sprint speed, physical strength and physical fitness were not as good as the Arabian horses of the Western Qin Army.
Although the West Qin Army had a slight upper hand in this confrontation, both sides lost their sprint speed and could only kill each other on the spot.
This required the ability of individual soldiers and cavalry to fight.
In this regard, The Western Qin army seems not to be afraid of any army.
The Qin cavalry paid special attention to the training of single cavalry combat.
After the initial killing, the Khazar cavalry began to lose ground.
The people in front were killed one after another, and the people behind could not retreat.
Casualties affected the morale of the Khazars.
The Western Qin Army attaches great importance to teamwork and cooperation.
The overall combat ability is definitely not comparable to that of a single person.
They enter the field in groups of three or five to surround and kill two or three Khazar cavalry.

"Tacihan, the remaining 500 cavalry have retreated to the right wing, but our right wing seems to be unable to withstand the Western Qin army's left wing attack.
Do we need to send troops from the Chinese army to reinforce it?"
A captain of ten thousand soldiers asked Habier. asked.
Habier said angrily: "My central army plus heavy cavalry only has 6,000 men.
How can we send troops to reinforce the right wing?
If the central army sends troops to reinforce the right wing, what will happen if the Western Qin army attacks the central army overall?
Chuan Ben Khan Order, let the right wing resist me, and those who take a step back will be killed immediately.
Since the right wing has fallen into a disadvantage, we can only place our hope on the left wing.
Order the left wing of our army to launch a full-scale attack on the Western Qin Army.
Attack, tell me, whoever kills the centurion of the Western Qin army will be rewarded with two hundred cattle and sheep each, and three women, and will be promoted to one rank; whoever kills the thousand captain of the Western Qin army will be rewarded with two thousand cattle and sheep, Ten women, two promotions; Whoever kills the leader of the Western Qin army will be rewarded with five thousand cattle and sheep, ten women, two hundred gold, and a three-level promotion.
Whoever kills Zhao Ziliang will be rewarded with ten thousand cattle and sheep, fifty women, and one gold.
Thousand, directly promoted to captain of ten thousand."
"Yes, Tasihan" Under such a heavy reward, there must be brave men.
Under such a heavy reward, the morale of the Khazar cavalry on the left wing soared sharply.
Each of them became brave and fearless of death.
They all beat their horses like crazy and rushed towards the right wing of the Western Qin army.
Zhao Ziliang frowned when he saw this and said: "How come the morale of the Khazarian army on the right wing is completely different?
Everyone has been beaten to death."
Gao Shang said: "I'm afraid it's because Habier has passed down some heavy rewards, otherwise this situation wouldn't have happened.
Please see, Your Majesty, they are just more excited and violent.
This is indeed very harmful to those armies without strict military discipline."
It is a big threat, but it has little effect on a regular army with strict military discipline like ours.
If individual soldiers and overall tactical capabilities cannot be improved, they will not be able to threaten our army."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and ordered: "Since the Khazars have started attacking on the left, center and right, how can our army not fight?
Send an order to Wei Meng and order the 1st, 23rd and 3rd units of the 4th Army to fight, and the 4th and 5th The Ministry is ready for reinforcements.”
"promise" At this time Ma Lin shouted: "Look, my king, the Khazars have deployed heavy cavalry on their left wing.
Judging from the strength of the troops, there are 3,000 heavy cavalry.
If General Wei Meng leads his army to charge forward, he will suffer heavy losses."
Zhao Ziliang was quite surprised: "Is Habier out of his mind or something?
He actually assigned the heavy cavalry to the left wing instead of the central army.
Doesn't he know that the left and right wings are not restricted to combat areas?
Send an order to Wei Meng and let him lead the army."
Get out of the way of the heavy cavalry center of the Khazar army, and then attack the light cavalry at the rear of the Khazar left wing and order the fourth and fifth divisions of the Fourth Army to use Parthian horseback archery to deal with the Khazar heavy cavalry."
"Yes" the herald agreed, the horn sounded again, the flags were also played, and the sound of war drums urged the soldiers to only move forward and not retreat.
Wei Meng led three troops and had already rushed out.
At this time, he heard the sound of the trumpet.
When he turned around, the flag signal told him to lead his troops to bypass the heavy cavalry phalanx rushing from the front and attack the Khazar light cavalry behind.
His men and horses Being on the right wing, with a large grassland next to it, it was easy to get around the overcoming heavy cavalry phalanx, but it was extremely difficult for the heavy cavalry phalanx to turn and turn around.
"Divide" Wei Meng waved his sword, and he led half of the people on the left to thrust diagonally towards the left.
There was a gap of two miles wide between his right wing and the central army.
He led half of the people to go around the gap without looking crowded at all. , while the other half of the people on the right were led around by a general.
Three thousand Khazar heavy cavalry rushed over, only to find that the enemies on the opposite side were divided into two teams and circled to both sides.
They jumped into the air, but at this time they had already increased their speed.
If they stopped, they would be surrounded.
If they stopped, they would be surrounded.

It's not easy to run fast.
Fortunately, there are three thousand cavalrymen of the Western Qin Army on the opposite side.
They rush directly towards the remaining three thousand Western Qin Army on the opposite side.
As for the six thousand Western Qin Cavalry who go around from both sides.
Let the people behind you deal with it.
When the three thousand Khazar heavy cavalry rushed close to the fourth and fifth units on the right wing of the Western Qin Army, they found that they had already turned around and began to gallop forward.
Turn around and shoot arrows at them "Swish swish" Arrows flew in and hit the thick armor of the Khazar heavy cavalry.
Most of them were blocked by the thick armor and vests and fell to the ground.
However, the Western Qin army did not stop shooting arrows.
Somehow, some unlucky guy got shot.
A Khazar heavy cavalryman in the middle fell to the ground, which would greatly affect the teammates behind him.
Their horses stopped and were hit by the horses rushing from behind.
A series of collisions followed, causing dozens of injuries. human casualties.
"Work harder, catch up and kill them" a commander of heavy cavalry shouted.
The pursued Xiqin cavalry were only a few dozen meters away from the pursuing Khazar heavy cavalry.
As long as they worked harder, they could catch up.
However, this distance seemed to be forever out of reach, and they were about to be overtaken.
The ones in front However, the Western Qin cavalry could suddenly accelerate and increase the distance between the two sides.
It was not until the three thousand Khazar cavalry were lured away from the battlefield by the three thousand Xiqin cavalry using the Parthian horseback archery method and found that they had lost most of their men that they realized that it was too late to retreat and turn around.
The horses were running so fast that they were frothing at the mouth.
As the Khazar horses fell to the ground one after another, these three thousand Khazar heavy cavalry were completely finished.
"Report to your Majesty, the three thousand Khazar cavalry have been completely annihilated by our army using Parthian tactics."
Zhao Ziliang heard this and said loudly: "Please give me an order to have the second, third and fourth units of the Chinese escort army launch an attack, followed by the heavy cavalry formation."
"Yes, Your Majesty" When Habier learned that his heavy cavalry had lost contact, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
He saw the Western Qin Central Army dispatching a large group of soldiers and horses.
More than 5,000 cavalrymen rushed towards him.
He immediately ordered the entire Central Army to attack.
He had to do this because he had no more troops to mobilize.
Up to this point, Habier had already used all the trump cards in his hand, but Zhao Ziliang still had a lot of trump cards that he had not used yet.
When the six thousand light cavalry of the Khazar Army rushed towards the six thousand Western Qin cavalry on the opposite side, they found that the Western Qin cavalry on the opposite side began to go around to both sides again, forming a flying geese formation to outflank them.
At this time, the Khazar army The leading general immediately ordered the army behind him to be divided into two to fight the Western Qin Central Army's cavalry, and never let them complete the encirclement.
But the Western Qin Army did not intend to surround the six thousand Khazar Chinese cavalry.
The ground of their flying formation formed a large opening, and from the bottom of the opening rushed out rows of neat heavy cavalry troops wearing dark and thick armor.
Formation, these heavy cavalry, including their men and horses, were wrapped in steel, with only their mouths and noses exposed.
They held spears more than four meters long and ran in a dense formation.
"Oh God, it's the heavy cavalry of the Western Qin Army."
When the Khazar cavalry saw the heavy cavalry of the Western Qin Army charging directly towards them, they all wanted to squeeze in on both sides, but the two sides were already blocked by the Western Qin Army.
The light cavalry took over, and the two sides were fighting to the death.
The Khazar cavalry looked frightened and wanted to turn around and run away.
Under the charge of this heavy cavalry phalanx, no light cavalry could survive.
The Khazar cavalry became timid.
They crowded around each other and turned around and retreated.
But the result is chaos, chaos With a loud "boom", the heavy cavalry phalanx collided with the Khazar light cavalry, and all the humans and animals in front were crushed into powder.
The Khazarian army completely collapsed at this moment, but at this moment, something made matters worse happen.
Bulan led a thousand of his men to turn against him and rushed towards Habil's position.

Habil was shocked and angry, and yelled: "Traitor, traitor, traitors never have a good death."
While slashing Habir's guards, Bu Lan cursed: "You never regard us as human beings.
We are just stepping stones for you to ascend to the throne.
You will abandon them after you use them.
You are not worthy of being a Khazar."
Princes, kill Habil, and we will establish a new king."
"kill" "Tacihan, we can't hold it anymore, we can't hold it anymore, the whole front is defeated, retreat quickly, it will be too late if you don't retreat," a minister said loudly, and immediately sent someone to hold Habil and fled to the rear.
After shouting "Wherever you go, you will die", Duan Xiushi led his 1,800 cavalrymen to appear on Habier's escape route.
He swept past with a broadsword and Habiru's head flew into the sky.
The overall situation was decided.
Zhao Ziliang breathed a sigh of relief and loudly ordered: "Pass this general's order and launch an all-out attack."
After saying that, he shouted to Bo Lehan: "The Dragon Guards will follow my king to kill the enemy.
Come on!"
"Killing" countless Western Qin army cavalry galloping on the grassland to pursue the fleeing Khazars.
After being overtaken by the Western Qin army, the Khazars were chopped down and fell to the ground.
Arrows flew out one after another.
From time to time, some Khazars were hit by arrows in the back and fell off their horses and were trampled to death by horse hooves.
With the death of Khabir, the Khazar army's banner also fell.
When the Khazars saw that Tachan's banner had fallen, they became more urgent to escape.
Without Tachan, the Khazar cavalry could no longer Without courage and hope, at this time they only hope to escape the pursuit of the Western Qin army and reunite with their families.
Wang Jin watched the scene of the Western Qin army chasing the fleeing Khazars, his heart was surging, and he couldn't help but said to Zang Xiyan: "It is really a pleasure to watch the Western Qin King lead troops in battle.
This may be the only opportunity in Wang's life."
Wang wanted to write a poem, but he couldn’t compose it.”
Zang Xiyan smiled and said: "Master Wang, you are so excited":
