"Boom, boom, boom" The violent explosion sounded on the offensive road of the coalition army, although the direct damage to the coalition soldiers was not very large, but because most of the coalition cavalry had not seen artillery, the war horse they were riding was frightened by the violent explosion, and the frightened war horse basically lost control, and many cavalry collided in the process of charging.
In the face of the charge of the coalition cavalry, the missiles and artillery of the Xia army were basically able to carry out a round of shooting, so after the first round of shooting was completed, Li Yi decisively issued a military order: "Order, 100,000 iron cavalry on both wings will attack the Serbian army." ” "Kill, kill, kill" After Li Yi issued the military order, the Xia army iron cavalry, which had already been hungry and thirsty, rushed towards the coalition cavalry like a tiger that broke out of the cage, and the offensive formation of the coalition cavalry at this time was already chaotic, and it was the best time for the Xia cavalry to start, although the coalition cavalry was twice as large as the Xia cavalry in number, but the Xia cavalry didn't care at all, because they basically didn't have that battle to win the victory with the number of people, and winning more with less was a norm in the history of the Xia army's conquest.
At this time, the main force of the Xia cavalry was mainly light cavalry, and the main combat method was the bow and crossbow of the cavalry, the Xia cavalry quickly avoided the offensive edge of the coalition army after the attack, and constantly shot the coalition soldiers with a dense rain of arrows.
Don't underestimate this small action, it can play a key role in the process of cavalry combat, if you want to make such a move in the process of combat, it takes hard training, and every Xia Army knight is a fast shooter.
The knights of the Xia army are basically hits, although they are all cavalry, but the combat power of the cavalry of the Xia army is obviously above the cavalry of the coalition army at this time, and there are many reasons for the decline of the cavalry of the coalition army, mainly in two aspects, the first is because after many battles, the elite force of the Seljuk cavalry, the main force of the coalition cavalry, has basically been lost, and now the Serbian cavalry in the coalition army is mostly second-line combat troops, which cannot be compared with the previous elite troops.
The second aspect is that the cavalry of the coalition army has a large number of cavalry units of the Ghaznavid dynasty.
Now the national strength of the Ghaznavid Dynasty has been very weak, and their cavalry combat is even more bad, originally the Ghaznavid Dynasty was also a very powerful dynasty, but after the rise of the Seljuk Turkic Empire, due to many reasons at home and abroad, the Ghaznavid Dynasty began to weaken, the Seljuk Empire snatched a large area of territory from the hands of the Ghaznavid Dynasty, hindering the Seljuk Empire's strong military Li Liangzuo, the Ghaznavid Dynasty had to submit to the Seljuk Empire; In this respect, the Segani dynasty and the Seljuk Empire were not of the same mind.
The battle lasted from morning to afternoon, under the favorable offensive of the Xia cavalry, the coalition cavalry continued to retreat, in the process of fighting with the coalition army, the Xia cavalry decisively grasped the weakness of the Ghaznavid cavalry's combat strength, focusing on the Ghaznavid cavalry's attack, in the face of the strong attack of the Xia army, the Segani cavalry could not support it at all; By mid-afternoon, the Segani cavalry was the first to flee south.
Li Yi decisively seized this rare opportunity and ordered: "Order, all the iron cavalry will focus on besieging the Ghaznavid cavalry, as long as they are defeated, the coalition army will be completely finished." ” After getting Li Yi's military order, the Xia army pursued the fleeing Segani cavalry, and the rout of the Segani cavalry directly affected the attack of the main force of the coalition Serbian cavalry, and in addition to the command of the Serbian cavalry, it was the prince Xue Qiaoe, so after the Segani cavalry retreated and collapsed, Xue Qiaoer decisively ordered the army to evacuate, this evacuation does not matter, the entire coalition cavalry collapsed in an instant, the so-called defeat is like a mountain, and it will be difficult for the rout to organize again.
For the defeated coalition army, the Xia army will naturally not let go, 200,000 Xia troops began to pursue the Xia coalition army, because the coalition forces are cavalry, so the escape is still very fast, out of the city to fight 400,000 cavalry, only a quarter of the battle was killed or captured, the rest of the 300,000 cavalry basically fled back to the city of Termaze, and the 100,000 foot soldiers were miserable, directly by the Xia cavalry was completely surrounded, before being surrounded, the 100,000 army collapsed before reaching the battlefield, and after being surrounded, it surrendered directly to the Xia army.
At ten points in the evening, the Xia army once again surrounded the Cypriot army in the city of Terma, this time it surrounded the four sides of the Delma, the artillery and return artillery of the Xia army were set up again from outside the city, and the camp of the Xia army in the north of the city was also recaptured, and after the coalition army was surrounded again, Li Zhe, the king of Qin, finally understood why Li Yi wanted to evacuate; To use an idiom to describe it, that is, to lure the enemy deeper.
For the active attack of the coalition army, the Xia army adopted the principle of striving for total annihilation and must be defeated, and its own casualties must be reduced to the lowest level, so the Xia army has never had a hard fight with the coalition army in normal battles, and the coalition army has lost nearly 200,000 people before and after the normal battle, while the Xia army has lost less than 5,000 people, and the battle ratio is 40 to 1, which is an unprecedented record in the entire history of the Xia army's conquest.
At night, the summer army camp and the Chinese army tent were inside.
Li Yi asked Li Zhe, the king of Qin: "Lord Wang, now that we have won the battle in the field, but the old minister has not wiped out all the coalition forces, but after this battle, the coalition forces have developed a deep fear of us, and I don't know what the prince plans to play against the next war." ” Li Zhe, the king of Qin, did not answer directly, but asked Li Yi: "I don't know what my uncle thinks it should be."
Li Yi said to Li Zhe, the king of Qin: "If we forcibly attack the city, our army will not have any problem taking the city, but we also need to pay a lot of casualties, and the old minister thinks that we might as well give up attacking the city for the time being." ” "Give up the Lost City of Terra" Li Zhe, the king of Qin, frowned and said: "Don't you want this fat meat to your mouth, as far as this king knows, there are a lot of grain, grass and ordnance in the Turma City, which is what we are currently lacking, and if we can take the Delmi, then my new Qin country will have the first city, and the new Qin army will have its own foundation, which is a great thing."
Li Yi explained to Li Zhe, the king of Qin: "Lord Wang, the arrangement of the old minister is like this" Then Li Yi told Li Zhe, the king of Qin, all his thoughts, and Li Zhe nodded after hearing it and said: "Good idea, why didn't this king think of it, I will leave this matter to my uncle, but this king can't be idle."
"Don't worry, your task is the most important," Li Yi said with a strange smile
