"The heavy cavalry of the Persians is so powerful, under the impact of our black panther cavalry, they actually stabilized their position, what are their origins?"
Also from the mainland, Wang Fangyi, who was born in Taiyuan Wang, was deeply surprised by the combat effectiveness of the Persians, although this Wang Fangyi was born in Taiyuan Wang, but because he was not the son of the eldest princess of Tong'an, so he was very unpopular, when he heard that Li Lu recruited talents, he came to Li Lu through Wang Qi's relationship, because he was good at riding and shooting, and his martial arts were very good, so he was quickly selected for the Black Panther Ride, and became the Thousand Household Officials of the Black Panther Ride in a short period of time.It can be said that such a strong general is so powerful, it can be seen that the heavy cavalry of the Persians is not simple, you must know that this Wang Fangyi is very strong, is a non-human who can open a seven-stone strong bow, he used to be in Chang'an, one night traveling, suddenly he saw a monster with a height of more than one zhang, but he was not in a hurry, pulled out the bow and arrow, shot the monster, and took a closer look, it turned out to be just a pair of wood.You say that such a master, the praise of the enemy can be simple?"
Hehehe, these heavy cavalry should be the famous 'Avaslan' heavy cavalry in Persia, they are mainly composed of free people called Azatan in Persia, these people have their own small estates, and they are relatively wealthy economically, so they can buy such valuable things as iron armor......."
Ye Muyi, who followed Di Qing to resist the enemy and served as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard who was also the supervisor of the army, laughed twice after listening to Wang Fangyi's words."
Avaslan?
Lord Ye, how do I sound similar to the government soldiers in the Central Plains, and the government soldiers also have to buy their own weapons and armor and horses......."
After Wang Fangyi heard this, he couldn't help but say."
Hehe, it's almost, but Azatan is much stronger than the Fu Bing's family background......."
Ye Muyi finished talking with a smile about the similarities between Azatan and the Fu Bing, he turned his head to look at Di Qing on the main throne, "Marshal, during today's battle, I noticed one thing, the Persian elite immortals did not enter the battle......"
"Oh?
Immortals?
Is it the undead army that His Highness said before he came?
”Di Qing frowned when he heard this, the general of the opposing army's army really deserved to be a general, and he actually knew how to keep a hand, and he also knew that it was not easy to keep a reserve."
Yes, Marshal, the undead are the Praetorian Guard of Khavard II.The establishment of this undead army is 10,000 men....."
Ye Muyi said with a smile.Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the eager Cheng Chuhei, "Brother Zilu, what are you talking about, the undead army?"
Can't they be killed?
It's impossible!
”"Hehehe, Huaimo, this undead army is the origin, their history can be traced back to the beginning of the Persian Dynasty thousands of years ago, the undead army has a number of 10,000 people, one is not much, one is not many.If one of the soldiers in the undead army dies, becomes ill, or otherwise exceptional circumstances, another soldier immediately fills his vacancy.This gives the illusion that all the people in this legion are immortal, because the number of the undead has never changed.If a person wants to be part of the undead army, he must first be a purebred Persian, and then begin militarized training at a very young age.Once there is a vacancy in the undead army, the commander of the undead legion will find the best eligible soldiers from other legions to join the undead army to fill the vacancy. ”Ye Muyi explained the reason why the Undead Army was called the Undead Army."
Oh, so they can't be killed....."
Cheng Chuhei sighed, "Then I won't be at ease......"
"Brother Zilu, the undead army you are talking about, is it the more than 1,000 hoplites who hid behind us when we charged?"
I see that they are all dressed in heavy scale armor or chain mail, and glowing steel girdles, and most importantly, they are all wearing masks, like demons......"
He Jin also expressed his opinion."
That's right, they are the undead army, originally the undead army was infantry, but more than a hundred years ago, the Persians turned the undead army into heavy cavalry., but they still retain the ability to fight on foot, and they can't be underestimated......"
Ye Muyi said.Seeing that everyone, including Di Qing, paid attention, Ye Muyi told everyone the information collected by Jinyiwei about the undead army of Sassanid Persia, and after listening, everyone was silent, what a tough opponent.The training of the Persian undead army was very brutal and began very early.If a family decides that they want their children to join the High Legion, their children will be separated from their parents from the age of five and begin round-the-clock military training.The training of the Persian High Legion was rigorous, and by standard they required their soldiers to master a variety of combat skills, including archery, hand-to-hand combat, survival in enemy territory, swordsmanship, spear fighting, horsemanship, and taming wild horses.From the age of five, these well-trained young men are required to serve in the army and are not discharged until they are fifty years old (if they are alive at all).A soldier who has just joined the army can choose whether to join an infantry regiment or a cavalry regiment.However, the undead army requires soldiers to have high achievements in armed combat, hand-to-hand combat, and cavalry combat, and it also depends on whether there are vacancies within the undead army.Persia, with its greatest power in the Middle East, provided the undead with the best equipment they could offer, and unlike the infantry-based undead armies of the Achaemenid dynasty of their namesake, the undead armies of Sassanid Persia were mainly cavalry.Their task is to protect key points and go into battle at important moments.The Sassanid undead are armed with bows and arrows, spears, and horse armor, similar to the ironclad cavalry, the arm and leg armor of the undead warriors are composed of metal rings, the joints are protected by armor and chain mail, and the neck is also well protected, plus a mask, from a distance, it looks like a demon god who has come out of hell.The sheer size of Persia's vast territory and large army meant that many of its soldiers were not adequately supplied, forcing many soldiers to risk their lives to hunt wild beasts.The undead of the Praetorian Guard were naturally plentiful, and they usually carried caravans for supplies on the march, but they also hunted large animals.But their purpose is not to fill their stomachs, but to hone their combat skills and practice team tactics.The fur of the beasts can also be used as decorations for the undead army, and the fur of these beasts represents the courage and combat power of the undead army.Hunting wild beasts is a technical job, so in peacetime, one of the criteria for the promotion of soldiers of the undead army is to see how many wild beasts the soldier hunts."
Zilu, in this way, this undead army or immortal is the most elite combat force of the Persians??"
After listening to the briefing of the undead army, Di Qing also gasped, he underestimated the Persians."
Great marshal, the undead army is not the only guard of the king of Persia, in Persia, the most elite, or the most trusted cavalry of the king of Persia is the Holy Fall Cavalry......."
Ye Muyi shook his head, "The Persians can establish a country in the land of four wars for a thousand years, and they have fought with the Romans so far, so naturally they have a few brushes...""
Holy Fall Cavalry?
Are there many of them?
”Di Qing's brows furrowed even tighter."
Not much, not much, only a few hundred people, they are the personal guards of the king of Persia, very elite!!"
Ye Muyi also told him about the situation of the Holy Fall Cavalry.It turned out that in Sassanid Persia, in addition to the immortals, the Persian monarchs also had more elite heavy cavalry at their disposal.They were a thousand Sassanid royal janissaries formed in the fourth century by the Sassanid Emperor Shapur II.Not only are they well-equipped, but they are also very disciplined.Some of them, known as the Holy Fall Cavalry, contain a strong spirit of dedication, and are the best of the Sassanid Praetorian Guards, the elite of the elite of the heavy cavalry.Although they were few in number, they played a decisive role in the battle against the elite troops led by Belisarius, a famous general of the Eastern Roman Empire."
We also fought with them today, the Persians are not simple, especially their heavy cavalry, they are about to catch up with our panther cavalry......"
Di Qing sighed, "And you have also seen that the Persians are not only powerful in heavy cavalry, but also in infantry....."
Di Qing considered whether to transfer the firearms unit and give her a good look.That's right, even the infantry of the Persians is very powerful, this is the most powerful enemy that Li Lu's Jiankun army has encountered after leaving Xiling, their infantry is called the Delaimu heavy infantry, which is the hoplite composed of the Delaimu people living in Gillan, Mazandaran and other places on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, and these Delaimu heavy infantry composed of fierce mountain people and peasants are the best infantry in the Middle East and the Near East.Not only were they fierce and aggressive, but they were also particularly hard-working and capable of fighting for long periods of time, and the Draim hoplites wore chain mail, armed with an oval shield, and two or three short spears, which could be thrown as javelins or in hand-to-hand combat.During the fierce battle during the day, Jiankun's heavy infantry suffered the loss of the other party, Delaimu heavy infantry first formed a shield wall side by side, slowly approached Jiankun's side, threw a short spear within the throwing range, and then sprinted to run, brandishing a sword or a battle axe or a short spear rushed up to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Jiankun infantry holding a Tang knife, their tactics hit the Jiankun side of a cold, the Jiankun infantry casualties were a little heavy, if it wasn't for Xue Zan (that is, Lu Dongzan's third son Zanpo) in charge of the Modao team in time to kill, it would be troublesome."
Gentlemen, the Persians are not easy to deal with, this commander originally planned to lure the enemy deeper, gather and annihilate him, but the other party is also a general, don't be fooled, who has a better idea to let the other party take the bait?"
Di Qing looked at the generals in the tent and asked.Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one has a better idea, at this time, Xue Qinling stood up, "Dashuai, there will be a plan in the end, maybe it can be used!"
”"Oh?
Qinling, quick, come and listen......
"Di Qing heard his king say that Xue Qinling can be literate and martial, resourceful, he still doesn't believe it, and now Xue Qinling can stand up and offer advice, which means that what his king said is true."
