Chapter 842
The Sassanian cavalry was in chaos while the horse was overturned. The cavalry behind hurriedly stopped the horse's hooves, pushed each other and tried to retreat first and then launch a new attack. In fact, if they had known this, they would have used crossbow cavalry to shoot with their long-range attacks Simmons' spear formation for a period of time before launching an attack. Unfortunately, they underestimated the enemy too much.
However, the situation on the battlefield did not give them a second chance to launch a correct offensive. The two Simmons' cavalry suddenly turned out from behind the two walls and rushed towards them with lightning speed.
Originally, the light cavalry would not be an opponent at close range against the heavy cavalry. But at the moment, the heavy cavalry of Aegiat was crowded in a group, the horse could not gallop, and the gun was not straight, so it caught off guard against the Liang army's attack.
In an instant, Simmons' light cavalry was chiseled into it. Simmons' light cavalry's spear stabbed the opponent's horses and people, and the Sassanian war cavalry fell a lot like rain. After the spear was stabbed out, Simmons' light cavalry did not retract it and left directly on the opponent's corpse. The mount was rushing forward without decreasing speed, but the sabre was drawn out of his hand.
A Sassanid rider saw the other party slashing, but his rifle was too close to stab, so he could only use a stick to smash it.
Although the gun hit Simmons Light Knight's helmet, causing the other party's head to buzz, the other party's sabre slashed horizontally on his neck, causing his head to hang on his chest and the body to fall off his horse.
Another Sasanian Iron Cavalry saw that the riding rifle was in trouble, so he threw the rifle away, pulled out the scimitar from his waist and slashed hard at the head of a Simmons Light Cavalry who was facing his back. His mount suddenly burst into tears, and then his hooves were raised high, knocking him off the horse, and then he was stepped on it by his scattered hooves into a pile of meat paste. It turned out that two spears in the two spear formations were stabbed into the horse's buttocks.
In fact, Simmons's cavalry was much smaller than the opponent, and they were all light cavalry. As long as the cavalry of Sassanthemum were calm, they could reverse the situation even if they were attacked from both sides and back. However, they kept stabbing like a long spear in front of them, and the light cavalry inserted into their cavalry from behind slashed and killed crazily with a sabre at close range. This caused their casualties to increase rapidly and their morale to quickly lose. Some generals first rode their horses away from the battlefield, while the rest of the cavalry rushed to whip the horses and accelerated their escape.
Anejalt, who was in the infantry phalanx, saw clearly and was so anxious that he shouted far away from more than a dozen fights: "Don't run away, those who fear the enemy will be killed without mercy. Quickly reorganize the team before launching an attack!" However, no one could hear him, and even if he heard him, he would not necessarily do as he did.
Then, he had no energy to take care of the cavalry because his eight thousand-man infantry formation had already confronted the opponent. The crossbowmen behind the formation fired arrows and shot towards the spear formation. However, he stopped shooting for only one round. Because the sword and shield soldiers in the front had already begun to confront the gun formation. If they shot wildly, they would hurt their own people. According to the conventional tactics, the crossbowmen in the rear should have shot a few rounds before they could attack. But now, because Ahjalt was eager to cooperate with the cavalry to siege Simmons' spear formation, he rushed over too early. Seeing that the cavalry had to flee and stop again, it was impossible, so Ahjalt simply covered up and killed him directly.
In front of the formation, the shield wall of Sassanite sword and shield soldiers repeatedly impacted but could not allow the gun forest to retreat at all. On the contrary, the two-war long spears pierced from the lower and upper parts of the shield into the calves and heads of the person behind the shield from time to time. Nejarth didn't know how the other party could stab the spear freely in such a low and high space. In short, Sassanite's sword and shield soldiers kept falling to the ground in screams and wails. From a high altitude, it was like rice and wheat harvested layer by layer, and soon there were already mountains of corpses in front.
At this moment, the Simmons Light Cavalry, who drove the Sasanian Iron Cavalry, came back and slashed into the Sasanian Army from both wings. This time, it took the life of the Sasanian Array. In just half a quarter of an hour, the formation was divided into several pieces by the pierced Simons Light Cavalry.
At this time, Simmons in the spear formation called the order, but instead activated the gun formation to launch a rapid attack on Nejalt. All the spearmen were thrusting their guns, and at the same time they quickly moved forward, but they could keep the formation unchanged. The Sassanian soldiers who had already been rushed by Simmons' light cavalry could not support them, and they ran backwards. Nejalt wanted to stabilize their position, but when they saw several other cavalry and cavalry surrounding him, they had to urge the horse under their crotch to escape.
Simmons' infantry and cavalry did not chase the defeated soldiers, so they hurriedly opened the city gate and retreated into the city. It seemed that Simmons gave up the opportunity to completely defeat the enemy soldiers, but in fact the decision was right. Because he knew that his victory was only based on the opponent's light cavalry and unexpected defense. His military strength was still far less than the opponent's boundless army. If the opponent came to his senses, it would be impossible to win again like this.
In fact, the Sassanian heavy cavalry, who had been killed before, came again after reorganizing in the distance. Fortunately, when they arrived at the city, Simmons' army had retreated into the city.
After half an hour, Nejarth, who had retreated a few miles away, reorganized his team and rushed to Pangbo City again. His face turned pale and he seemed to be full of emotions on his face.
It is no wonder that Guan Yu was defeated before. The 16,700 army could not eat the other party's two thousand cavalry, allowing the other party to retreat calmly from the sea. This is very embarrassing. In the past few days, he regained several cities to make some face, but he was defeated by the other party's only two or three thousand infantry and cavalry here again. He said in his heart: "If you don't regain this face, where will you put your face in the future? How can you raise your head in front of the Sassanian generals? How can you maintain your prestige among the soldiers?"
Immediately, Nejarth ordered in a deep voice: "Around Pangbo City for me." The endless army of more than ten thousand immediately surrounded the city with the sound of drums and whistles.
At this time, a general came forward to advise and reminded him: "Governor General, our key task is to take down Suguan. This small Pangbo city can be surrounded by thousands of soldiers, no need..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nejarth. The latter frowned and said, "If this city is not captured, how can we attack Su Guan with peace of mind?" Then his tone suddenly changed: "If I remember correctly, the heavy cavalry is your command. If you escape in the battle, you cannot forgive this crime. The person who comes will take him down and chop him up, and use the military law to correct the law!"
The general's face changed drastically, and he kept begging for mercy. He could tell him the matter. He tied him up and slashed him with one knife.
When things got to this point, who would dare to advise Nejarth again? The generals under his command could only act according to the order. Fortunately, Pangbo City was not big, and they seized several counterweight catapults from the city they had captured in the past few days. It should not be difficult to capture Pangbo City.
