Chapter 662 King Yan swings the sledgehammer
"Pay special attention to the cavalry of a thousand-man scale. I besieged this king with three times the strength of the troops. I have always had to grasp the use of troops. I have done many times to kill chickens, and this time is no exception."
No matter what era it is, heavy cavalry is a rare group of troops. Even in West Asia, there is a tradition of using heavy cavalry. The number of Sassanthemum Persia should be only 10,000, and it should not exceed the organization of the Immortal Army. For the Sogdians alone, it is already very good to be able to loot nearly 1,000 cavalry everywhere. This also requires consideration of the replacement of legacy issues. After all, Afghanistan in the river is not a key place to operate, and the environment for the classical cavalry left behind is normal, but it will slowly disappear.
It seems that only the Mongols who robbed the Jin and Khwarezm in East Asia had done so. Sima Ji didn't know what the proportion of heavy cavalry and light cavalry of 150,000 Mongolian cavalry was, but light cavalry was definitely more common in light cavalry than heavy cavalry.
The flag moved with the wind, and the King of Yan was a routine, leaving the Jin guards around him to solve the basic security problems. Then the entire army was pressed over, and the flying sabers began to harvest the lives of the coalition forces. Under such a blow, the Yuezhi people were the first to escape from the battlefield and they wanted to escape from this terrible hell. The Sogdians were still fighting desperately, after all, this was their home.
However, this kind of resistance was at best a commendable courage in front of the Jin army. The scattering call was accompanied by the iron ring sound of the big dragon bird sword, and the ten thousand dragon bird camp opened its formation. Under the red battle robe, the silver-white breastplate was already covered with blood.
After joining the army, the Sogdians in the central army may have believed in defending their country or being infected by the situation on the battlefield. They have a strong business culture and did not retreat, but their courageous heart plays a very limited role. Discipline is much more important than personal courage on the battlefield. Sima Ji's soldiers are the most disciplined in this era. No empire in the agricultural era can surpass them.
For the Dragon Crown, this is not the first time they are listed in front of the entire army. When they faced the Yecheng army a few years ago, they killed the front army in Yecheng in a short time, which established the basis for victory for that war.
Golden sand, green grasslands, and bright red blood have become the embellishment of this world. Compared with the last battle, the number of Dragon Crown Camp has changed from 5,000 to 10,000, and the individual combat power has not decreased, but the number has doubled.
In Sima Ji's eyes, the scene in front of him was a bit like a British lobster looking at the Imperial Cossack. He dared not say that his troops could be compared with the British lobster in the 19th century, but the Sogdians were definitely far inferior to the Imperial Cossack. The Dragon Bird Camp that was slashing forward was also proved this.
After the Yuezhi people completely collapsed, there was no suspense in this battle. The classic heavy cavalry that had long been discovered by Sima Ji, the Sogdians could turn everything around in their eyes. In an instant, they were surrounded by cavalry several times their own. The rumbling sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the field, and it seemed that the entire earth was trembling. The cavalry on both sides approached quickly, but one of the cavalry was obviously much larger in scale. The much larger cavalry naturally belonged to Sima Ji, who was good at fighting less with more.
The sound of shouting, the sound of weapons colliding, and screams were mixed with the sound of horse hooves and passed to the distance. It was both exciting and terrifying. "The two charges will be handed over and will make them history." Tang Qiang issued a loud military order, "Change a fatal blow with the momentum of thunder!"
The new commander of the Jin Guard's heavy cavalry can be regarded as a talented person who can explain the explanation of how beautiful and refined the cavalry of the Yan King swung the hammer.
Two hours later, the battlefield was as quiet as a chicken. The soldiers of the Jin army were looking for something valuable to exchange fire. After all, they were all poor. Youzhou has always advocated frugality and did not be afraid of finding spoils from the enemy's corpses. Some soldiers were chasing and had not returned yet, as for the captives.
Sima Ji looked like he was listening to the heavenly book, pointed at a lucky person with blood indignation and shouted at him, tilting his head to ask the translator who was also wearing armor beside him, "What did he say?"
"The King of Yan atones for his sins, and he said that you, the demon, will go to the fire hell." The translator first complained about his sin before he spoke carefully.
"It turns out that the Zoroastrianism curses people so much. I thought it was just a rumor." This was not the first time Sima Ji heard this statement, but the last time he saw it in the book. As for this book, it is very famous, it is called One Thousand and One Night in China, and it is translated as Arab Night in other places.
There are many stories about peace and Zoroastrianism in the Arab Nights, but Chinese people generally come into contact with stories without a strong religious background. As for stories involving religious issues, there are really many passages about cursing and retribution. The one he remembers the most profound story is the small country in southern China. Because he does not believe in the destruction of Allah, if this background is in Southeast Asia, it must be the background after the twelfth century, so that he can compete with the fact that Indian culture and Arab culture compete for local influence.
"But I am an atheist, I love my mother and I feel like I am!" Sima Ji murmured a sentence that made the translator unclear, and ordered coldly, "Living is so painful, killing him will also give him a kind of relief, and drag him down and behead him."
When the left and right guards heard this, they pulled the prisoner down. Although the prisoner could not understand Sima Ji's words, he was anxious when he saw this situation.
"King Yan, he said he could pay for his own money to redeem himself. He was a Sogdian noble." The translator saw that the King of Yan was so curious, and he couldn't help but translate again, "But such villains offend King of Yan, and the villains were also full of righteous indignation."
"Hey!" Sima Ji waved his hand and pointed at the prisoner, "I am not a person without tolerance, but since he is a noble, he told him to increase the money. If he is not brought by life or death, he will not bring it with him. If he dies, will his beautiful wife and ignorant children be cheaper? If others sleep, his wife beats his son, how can he drink and beat his wife yourself? Isn't it?"
Sima Ji did not come to annex the Persian Empire, and the Jin Dynasty did not reach this place, so he did not have the energy at present. He was mainly engaged in Southeast Asia, so he killed unintentionally and was only beneficial if he kept it. How could he establish a long-term relationship if he did a one-time deal like a Mongolian brother? As for the tens of thousands of corpses on the battlefield now, it was just because it was blocking the way. Besides, the Hezhong Alliance Army was an initiative, and the King of Yan was fighting a self-defense counterattack.
"I like a brave tribe who is arrogant and brave. I can fight head-on with me. The one I hate the most is the natives in the South. If they can't beat me, they will bury the woods. If they are opponents like the Sogdians, I will sleep soundly." Sima Ji inserted his waist and looked at the corpse that could not be seen at first glance. "There is no need to bury it. It's not our land. The climate here is dry and there will be no serious illness."
