Seeing that Canaris had already formed a battle formation, Li Lu ordered the cavalry to stop advancing and wait for the phalanx infantry behind to follow.When the infantry joined him, Li Lu gave them a little rest to recuperate, so as to avoid confronting the spirited enemy before they were too tired to catch their breath, and then led his troops up.Li Lu knew that his advantage was in the cavalry, he judged the situation on both sides, and decided to divert the enemy, disrupt the formation, and win in the chaos.He placed the phalanx infantry in the center, facing the elephants of Canaris, and instructed them not to enter the battle until they saw their own cavalry disrupt the main force of Canaris' cavalry and infantry before charging; He also sent two regiments of cavalry to the enemy's right flank, and when his cuirassiers fought with the enemy's left flank, he went around the enemy's back to attack.After some arrangement, Li Lu made the cuirassiers with the advantage approach to his left front.As Li Lu's order was issued, the first to attack was still the field light artillery affectionately known as the "Invincible General Shenwei" by the British soldiers, and hundreds of shells were overwhelming towards the enemy position.The cavalry on Canaris's left flank could not withstand the attack of the British artillery, and the battle was immediately in disarray.After Li Lu saw the confusion of the enemy's formation, he decisively ordered his cuirassiers to gallop forward and fight with the Eastern Roman cavalry.Seeing that his left flank was under heavy attack by a large number of enemy cavalry, Canaris saw that he was about to suffer, and hurriedly transferred the cavalry on his right flank.Unexpectedly, the two cavalry regiments left by Li Lu on this side circled out an arc and appeared behind the Eastern Roman cavalry.The Eastern Roman cavalry was attacked on its back.Canaris was again forced to change all his cavalry into a double formation, facing the cavalry of Li Lu with the largest and most combat-ready part; The other part copes with the back.In this way, Canaris's wishful thinking was completely disrupted by Li Lu's actions.Taking advantage of the moment when Canaris divided his troops, Li Lu launched a more fierce offensive, and the Eastern Roman cavalry facing him was the first to resist, and hurriedly approached their war elephants, as if looking for a shelter from the wind.When Canaris's mahouts saw the enemy's cavalry coming, they drove the elephants forward to stop them.At this time, Li Lu's cavalry retreated, and the British phalanx infantry, which was fighting and waiting for an opportunity, under the cover of artillery, shouted the mighty slogan of the Han army and fought bravely, and they besieged the elephants in Kanasri from behind, and fired their guns at the Eastern Roman soldiers and elephant herds who were driving the elephants, and even the artillery poured a large number of grapeshot bullets on the positions of the Eastern Romans.The battle was dazzling, encircled, counter-encircled, charged, counter-charged; The two sides attacked and retreated, and the situation was constantly changing.When the herd was attacked suddenly, they turned around angrily and charged towards the British infantry phalanx.In the blink of an eye, the dense phalanx was swept to pieces.Seeing this, the Eastern Roman cavalry plucked up the courage to fight Li Lu's cavalry again.However, in terms of combat effectiveness and combat experience, the Eastern Roman cavalry was no match for the Li Lu cavalry.Not long after, they suffered another defeat and had to retreat to seek refuge from the elephants.The scattered phalanx of British infantry attacked by the elephant herd did not crumble, they dodged the war elephants, and then gathered very quickly to reorganize and launch a new attack.Now, the battlefield is shrinking smaller and smaller, the Eastern Roman army is inside, and the war elephants have been squeezed into a narrow range; The British army is in the outer ring.Li Lu's two cavalry units had formed a whole, and they took turns to charge, no matter where they charged, they would first inflict heavy casualties on the Eastern Roman army before retreating.They advance and retreat freely and play with a rhythm.The same was true of the phalanx infantry: when the elephants came after them, they retreated, under the cover of the artillery, they did not bear at all, as soon as the elephants fled, they pursued, and the British muskets kept firing at the elephants, so that the elephants could hardly hurt them.The Eastern Romans, on the other hand, were caught in the middle of the herd, and the wounded or unguarded elephants, in pain, boredom, and mania, went mad and rampage, and no longer knew friend from foe, and were reckless in their recklessness.Eastern Rome was so angry that there was nowhere to hide, many people were injured, and many died tragically under the hooves of elephants.Eventually, the elephants were too exhausted to run, and they roared and slowly retreated like boats.Li Lu led the cavalry to surround a large group of the remnants of Canaris's defeated army, and then signaled the infantry phalanx, telling them to march in an extremely dense phalanx.At this time, all the British troops on the other side of the river had crossed the Karasu River and took part in the annihilation of the Eastern Roman army in high spirits.The final battle has de facto turned into a collective massacre of one side against the other.In this battle, nearly 20,000 Eastern Roman infantry and about 3,000 cavalry were killed, all chariots were destroyed, and all the surviving war elephants were captured.Canaris's two youngest sons, the elephants and all the commanders of the cavalry, were killed.There was not much left of the infantry commander.On Li Lu's side, only about 500 cavalry and 300 infantry were killed, most of whom were sacrificed at the beginning of the battle.Although Canaris was defeated in this battle, he performed well in the battle.Although he was a high-ranking official in the Eastern Roman Empire, he was by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, on the contrary, he was very brave and fearless.While he saw his infantry and elephants slaughtered one by one, and saw his cavalry fall beside him, he still galloped on the battlefield, never running away, never laying down his weapons.Li Lu witnessed Canaris's behavior and felt that this Kanaris was a man, so he ordered his soldiers not to kill him.When the battle was over, Canaris still rode his elephant high, wandering lonely on the edge of the corpse-strewn battlefield, unable to bear to leave for a long time.His right shoulder was wounded, blood-stained armor, but that didn't detract from his heroism in the slightest.Li Luxian sent the Halifax who had taken refuge in him to find him.Halifax rode near the elephant on which Canaris was riding, restrained the horse from a distance, told him that it was useless to run away, and that he should listen to the message that Lucto had brought him.Canaris looked back and saw that it was his old rival, Halifax, and immediately turned the elephant's head and rushed over with his spear in hand.Really, if Halifax hadn't run fast, Canaris might have stabbed him to death.Despite this, Li Lu continued to send other Eastern Romans to persuade him, and finally sent someone named Myros, who was an old friend of Canaris.Listening to his old friend, Canaris stopped the elephant and came down from it to ask for water from Myros, who was thirsty.After drinking the water, Canaris came with Myros to see Li Lu.When Li Lu knew that he was about to arrive, he rode his horse and ran to the front early to greet him.Li Lu admired Canaris's burly figure and extraordinary appearance, and judging from his expression and posture, he did not give in.After a glorious battle for his country, now Canaris calmly looks at his opponent.In the end, it was Li Lu who spoke first and asked Canaris what he had to say to Li Lu.Canaris replied: "Your Majesty, it is true that I have failed, but I do not think that I have done anything wrong, the reason why I lost the war is all because of the great difference in strength between us and you, and because I misjudged the situation on the battlefield........ but in my opinion, you British are the invaders, if I can turn back time, I will still choose to resist to the end." ”Li Lu was speechless when he heard this, this Kanasri is really a stubborn guy, he loves the Eastern Roman Empire to which he is loyal from the bottom of his heart, such a person is a hero of Eastern Rome, but he is an enemy of Li Lu, from Li Lu's heart, he admires Kanasri very much, because he has done everything he can for his motherland, and he is worthy of his title of governor.Asked again what he wanted, Canaris replied, "Everything is already included in the sentence just now." ”Li Lu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then tried to use the system ability of "stealing beams and changing pillars" on Kanasri, but he was surprised to find that because Kanasri's patriotism was too strong, Li Lu couldn't use this skill at all.
