The Han Empire's understanding of Sassanid was not blind, but it was not comprehensive.
The contact between the two countries began in the thirteenth year of Yuan Shuo, and there was a large number of exchanges, but after the reopening of trade routes, the understanding of the two sides was actually based on the surface.
It was precisely in this way that the royal family of Ardashir of Sassanid miscalculated.
The Han Empire had a plan to conquer the entire world island, and after communicating with the Sasanians, it was inevitable that intelligence would be collected, but because of the different races between the two sides, it was basically impossible to install people in the Sassanid official face, and they could only rely on some secret means, such as bribery, to obtain information.
Regarding the discord between the eastern provinces and the imperial family, the Han Empire had some understanding, but it was difficult to make a deeper judgment.
This time, the Han Empire hastily formed a large army for the Western Expedition, and some of the information collected would be forwarded to the Western Expedition Shogunate, but Xie An could not distribute all the information to all the generals, but only mentioned some information that might be used on the battlefield in real time.
Li Jun was naturally one of the generals who knew that the eastern Sassanid provinces were at odds with the royal family of Ardashir.
Xie An explained when he sent Li Jun to fight, he didn't have to worry about the grievances and entanglements between the eastern Sassanid provinces and the Sassanid Ardashir royal family, what he had to do was to beat the enemy army he encountered at one time, and ignore the problems at the level of diplomatic relations for the time being.
In fact, no matter what the eastern Sasanid provinces had planned to be invaded by the Han Empire, it was absolutely right to beat them up first.
After a dash of galloping and chasing, the Feathers began to make a detour, believing that it was time to turn around and wake up the elated Persians.
What is capable of defeating the Han army, and even thinks that the Han army is a coward without courage, the Yulin army will use the facts to tell those Persians that they are thinking too much.
Habibullah ordered a re-shrinking of his troops, and his order was given in a timely manner, but the problem was that it would take time to pass it on.
The Persian soldiers with the idea of "I can kill", the group of Persian cavalry chasing at the front, they saw that the Han army was making a detour, and there were signs of turning around and killing, and they were slightly stunned and began to shout.
Naturally, it is impossible for a galloping cavalry to say that they can turn around on the spot if they want to turn around, and if they want to turn around on the spot, they have to control the war horse and stop, and no cavalry will do such a stupid act on the battlefield.
Only a cavalryman who maintains speed is a cavalryman who is capable of fighting, and the correct way is to maintain the speed and make a detour with a large force at an appropriate bend angle.
While making a detour, the Han army changed the angle of movement of the entire force, and the knights holding their bows at the right distance constantly shot arrows at the Persian cavalry within the range of the attack.
The Persian cavalry, whose formation was chaotic because of a wild pursuit, actually had no command system to speak of.
Some of the Persian cavalry wanted to crash into it to cut off the formation of the Han army, and the other part controlled the war horse under the crotch to make a common action with the Han army's roundabout direction.
With two options, the Persian cavalry itself was in disarray, and there were many accidents where the two horses collided.
The Han army began its own detachment with the sound of strong horns in a roundabout process, about every 300 cavalry as a column, and then formed one after another small arrow formations or long snake formations.
The formation was of course composed of melee light cavalry ready to charge, with a brave knight at the front as a sharp sword, followed by a row of knights formed backwards to form a sharp arrow with a triangular edge, and a deep arrow like an arrow shaft in the rear.
This type of arrowhead is an arrow that breaks through the enemy's army, and the knights who are the shaft and tail of the arrow part will scatter the enemy army in front of them, and they will form a loose formation to harvest.
The first bolt slammed into the oncoming Persian cavalry, and in an instant the spearhead piercing into flesh and the sound of brittle wood shattering rose and fell to each other, accompanied by one scream after another.
The Han army's spears were not hardwood poles, but were taken from brittle trees.
It will be a tree, mainly because there are no apple trees in Zhuxia, otherwise it is actually the best apple tree in terms of pure feel and weight.
For example, in the Middle Ages of Europa, where heavy cavalry was rampant, their spears were made of applewood.
After the spear stabs the target, the metal weapon pierces the enemy's flesh, and the moment the impact force is generated, the brittle wood shatters, and the recoil force is canceled out in the brittle wood fragmentation, and the knight does not have to worry about the reaction force and falls off the horse.
Of course, a mounted spear is a mounted spear, and it is not the same thing as a cavalry spear or a spear used by infantry.
In the previous history of Zhuxia, Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms also had a heavy cavalry, and the tiger and leopard cavalry used a cavalry lance.
Because of the relationship between weapons, the selection of tiger and leopard riders has always been difficult, and there are even many dead people during training.
This is the constraint and cost of not having the right weapon.
The Sassanid cavalry also had some knights armed with spears, and their spears were made of apple tree wood.
However, most of the Sassanid cavalry were still equipped with short weapons such as scimitars, in fact, the reason was that the Sassanians had not yet fully digested the stirrups and saddles, that is, they did not have time to test what weapons could be used to exert the greatest combat effectiveness after having the saddle and stirrups.
On the battlefield, knights and knights stabbed and swung their weapons at each other, and people were bleeding and falling at every moment.
Of course, the battle of cavalry is not likely to be very orderly, they are desperate under the condition of extremely high movement speed, one accidentally does not control the war horse, or the war horse itself panics, and the two horses collide directly face to face.
Casualties occur not only at the moment of engagement with the enemy, but when galloping, the cavalry in front suddenly falls, and the knight himself or the war horse under his crotch does not react in time, then it is a rolling end.
In this kind of battlefield where cavalry gallops and engages, it is almost impossible to survive if you fall off your horse, and if you are not solved by the passing enemy, you will be killed by your own robe with the body of the horse or trampled to death by the horse's hooves.
As the commander of the battlefield, Li Jun did not engage in the battle, he led nearly 500 cavalry to slowly cruise outside the fighting field, and according to what he saw with his eyes, he used the horn to make targeted adjustments like the troops on the battlefield.
Each powerful horn has its own rhythm, and the different rhythms are actually orders for a certain cavalry team.
The same was outside the fighting ground in Habibullah, he saw a phenomenon, every Han cavalry seemed to have a pair of eyes watching the sky, always able to avoid their own large troops in time, and then several Han cavalry galloped towards their own smaller troops like wolves, and after some tearing and gnawing, they dispersed again and waited for the next gathering and hunting.
Habibullah, who was outside the killing field, could clearly see that the Persian cavalry at the scene of the fighting ground was in an environment where there were people and horses wherever they looked.
If people are in a complex environment, because the eyes see too many dynamics, it will be difficult for the brain to react for a while, and people who are too dull will even be directly confused.
Most soldiers, especially those who have not participated in battles, are actually in a state of mindlessness on the battlefield, and the robes around them will follow them, and whether they can survive depends on whether they have left physical memories in ordinary training.
The so-called body memory is a kind of conditioned reflex, for example, when someone attacks you, before the brain reacts, the body has made a dodge action, or the hands subconsciously block it.
Killing is also a kind of conditioned reflex after training, it is the eyes that capture the picture, the results of the training are displayed, and it is instantly judged that it is not a friendly army, and the weapon has been swung out.

If you want to have the ability to make independent judgments on the battlefield, you either have to adapt to the new strength to the point of being too strong, or you have experienced similar scenes more than once, otherwise you will not say that the recruits will survive the first battle in person to be considered real soldiers, and most of the recruits will not die in the first personal battle.
What is the situation of Sassanid If it is the soldiers of the western provinces, because of the continuous uprisings in the west, coupled with the repeated invasions of the Romans, the soldiers in the west are not less on the battlefield; Although there are local wars on the eastern side, compared to the intensity of the western side, the eastern side may not even be considered low-intensity.
Entering the state of contact confrontation, many Han knights discovered that there were too many Sassanid cavalry they faced like wooden people, and qualified wooden people could still react and swing weapons when encountering attacks, but more wooden lands were killed, and only at the moment of death did they look like a living person, but they were about to die.
In less than twenty minutes of fighting, the Han army gnawed away a large area of the Sassanid cavalry, and Habibullah hurriedly gathered his army, but the effect was unsatisfactory.
In fact, it is reasonable to say, once it is a large group of people who hulala, they are chaotic and do not listen to the instructions or simply do not receive the instructions, how can they restore order so quickly.
"It's over" Habibullah found that he couldn't command the troops at all, and while his cheeks twitched, he said to Sha Zhan: "I'll take people to withdraw first."
You organize resistance where you are, and if you can't do it, you surrender.
After that, you know what to do. ” The number of soldiers in the Sassanid army is obviously more than ten times that of the Han army, but if you look at the battlefield, you can find that every time you are in a state of engagement, the effective combat effectiveness of the Han army accounts for the majority, which means that most of the Sasanian soldiers are in a position of ineffective combat effectiveness.
Of course, Sha Zhan discovered the problems he was currently facing, and he was slightly stunned for Habibullah's belief that it was impossible to do anything and wanted to flee first, and before he reacted, Habibullah was already on the run under the escort of his own soldiers.
"The Han army can fight, but we still have more than 40,000 people left" Sha Zhan found Habibullah so timid for the first time, but he didn't have much confidence in this battle: "Let the gathered soldiers set up on the spot" Li Jun didn't know that Habibullah, who was the main general of this battlefield, had fled, even if he saw Habibullah's hundreds of horsemen heading west, there were not only Persians fleeing westward on the battlefield.
The Persians, who were happily pursuing, after the Han army returned from the counterattack, thought that they could compete with the Han army in the first few minutes, and after a few minutes, they realized that they were still thinking too much.
Watching those who chased the most fiercely turned into dead people one after another, the courage that had been mustered for a long time disappeared, the erect chest dried up again, the speed of the beating of the liver increased, and the hands and feet were weak and trembling while sweating, and subconsciously thought about staying away from the Han army.
Courage is contagious, timidity is contagious, and so is flight.
The Persians who were chasing on foot, because they were too excited when they were chasing, were not weak and out of breath when they were chasing, and they would even feel happy because the Han army was not running.
The Persians who were waiting on foot saw that their cavalry was wiped out in large areas, so they subconsciously slowed down their pace of running, wondering how their cavalry could be so weak, and they were eaten by the Han army almost without the power to parry.
Those who muster up courage feel that even a dragon can be easily killed in front of them, but once the courage is gone, even a rooster can chase him and run away.
The Sassanid infantry who hesitated, they suddenly found that their bodies had become extremely heavy, especially the legs as if they had been filled with lead, and when they breathed, they breathed more in and less out, and their chests hurt very badly with each breath, and there was a feeling that the internal organs seemed to be ripe, and there was a long roar in their ears.
Just when the Sassanid infantry realized that something was wrong, the Han cavalry, which had been able to attack the enemy infantry and make a detour, was able to get rid of the entanglement of the Sassanid cavalry, and a perfect flanking tactic was implemented.
Habibullah actually saw that even his own infantry began to be attacked, and it was the kind of person who had no ability to resist and was repeatedly flanked and slaughtered, so he immediately chose to flee.
Habibullah was first and foremost the governor of the east, the commander of the Sassanid army, and even if the Sassanid army was all lost on this battlefield, as long as he could return, he would be able to reorganize a new army, and even recruit far more soldiers than he had been buried in this battlefield.
Sha Zhan is still making a final effort, constantly sending his own soldiers out to contact the officers of various units.
The problem was that the Sassanid infantry had long since lost its effective structure when pursuing the Han army, and the soldiers could not find generals, they would not be able to see the soldiers, and there was no effective chain of command.
In the face of one-sided slaughter, the Persians are no different from any race, they have lost confidence and no longer have courage, and at the same time, because they had false confidence before, waiting to discover what reality is, and their psychology is even more broken, falling into a state of hysterical rout.
"Woo woo woo woo" The new battle horn of the Han army was sounded, and Li Jun had already achieved the extreme of his command, and after the collapse of the enemy army, he had already personally joined the fight.
The soldiers of the Han army who heard the new horn, they were all affectionate and excited, and at the same time shouted "the Han army is mighty", stopped for about two seconds, and shouted again: "For the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest" Even though there are only about 4,000 people, two shouts can pierce the entire battlefield and cover up any noise
