.The strongest in Asia

The Naladi Grassland is relatively low at an altitude. It is a prairie that lives in the Tianshan Canyon. It is one of the four major prairies of the Yili Grassland. It is located at the throat of the western section of the Tianshan Mountains and is the main channel for silk trade in the East and the West.

Here, the Tianshan Mountains on all sides stand proudly, and white clouds linger among the snow-white peaks.

The Yili River ponders here and becomes peaceful and peaceful. On the banks of the Yili River, the gorgeous wild flowers bloom their most gorgeous appearances, welcoming the early spring. Among the grasslands, the ancient and young elm trees, spruces and poplars are quietly looking for their own corners, and dodge on the dark green grassland, but they can also let you see his traces at a glance.

According to legend, when Genghis Khan, the "genius of a generation", led his army from south to north to cross the Tianshan Mountains. When he was at the end of his life, there was no way out, in an instant, the golden sun broke through layers of clouds and spread thousands of magnificent rays of brilliance to illuminate the grassland in front. Genghis Khan shouted "Naradi" (the sun in Mongolian), so people called this gorgeous grassland like this.

But after the battle between Xun You and Panelson, history should be changed again. In order to commemorate this special battle, people called it the Pavin Grassland. On this grassland, the Central Asians first witnessed the Han Ranger's ultimate skill - the tide formation, and the Han people also witnessed the Anxi Cavalry's ultimate skill - the Anxi Cavalry's ultimate skill - the Anxi Looking Back Arrow. A sudden encounter between the top two cavalry regiments in Asia at that time made both sides begin to truly respect their opponents.

And now, in this decisive historical moment, a decisive battle will be born on this graceful and slender grassland that determines who is the strongest cavalry in Asia.

Panelson knew deeply that the decisive battle between Anxi and the Great Han, who could better influence the distribution of the Silk Way, was at this moment. The winner would continue to control the Silk Way and continue to monopolize the distribution of interests of the vast land, and the loser, especially Anxi, once Anxi failed, lost not only the Silk Way, but also the survival foundation of the entire empire. For Anxi, an underdeveloped agricultural country, the trade channel was the basis for his survival.

In fact, people blame the Persians for the demise of the Sakura Empire, but the real reason should be that Rome later bypassed the Sakura Empire through India and China, leading to the economic collapse of the Sakura Empire. This also proves Liu Xie's view that the decisive battle between two different forces often does not need to rely entirely on war.

As the distance between them was only a hundred steps away, Panelson suddenly found signs of traps on the grass ahead, only more than ten steps away from him. The conditioned reflex made him unable to help but hold on to the reins of the horse, but his subordinates were not so lucky. More than a hundred people fell into the trap in an instant...

Almost at the same time, the cavalry at the forefront of the two armies of Dingxi had already felt that the opponent had entered the range of the Xiangyang crossbow, and immediately fired continuously. After three consecutive waves of shooting, the cavalry following behind immediately launched the Xiangyang crossbow. After three waves of shooting, they also began to reduce the speed.

Now the cavalry of the Western Expedition and Dingxi Army did not interpret the simple fish scale formation for Panelson, but the tide formation of the Han Rangers - the sea tide formation. After the Han cavalry was changed to the fish scale formation, 50,000 cavalry formed fifty small teams according to the position of Chongwei, and Chongwei formed five rows according to the position of the supervisor. After the first row of cavalry completed the three-wheeled shooting of Xiangyang crossbow, it would slow down, allowing the second row of cavalry to naturally cross over. After the second row of cavalry completed the shooting, the remaining rows of cavalry followed the procedure in turn.

As for shooting, before the third row of cavalry shooting, the first row of cavalry was ready to change the sabre and began to accelerate with all their might. After the fifth row of cavalry completed the shooting, they suddenly rushed up at the highest speed. The second row of cavalry acceleration was arranged before the fourth row of cavalry shooting. After that, the third row accelerated, and the fourth and fifth row chose the Shinye strong bow in the appropriate situation. Go back to the enemy's wings, or choose a reasonable position to continue charging, launch a new round of impact, and directly disperse the enemy's formation.

Fortunately, Panelson grabbed the reins of the horse, otherwise he would have been the most cared for during the first round of shooting. However, by the time the fourth round of shooting, more than 20,000 cavalry troops in front of Panelson had been completely destroyed. The opposite of him was Yan Xing's Dingxi Army, and 120,000 crossbow arrows were fired out in the blink of an eye.

The light cavalry of Wusun was not the enemy of such crossbow arrows. Before they could open their bows, the two thousand cavalry in front were charged and the heavy cavalry were instantly destroyed. After that, four wheels of the Western Army shot down, and 30,000 cavalry fell immediately.

Since the cavalry speed of the coalition forces did not increase, the cavalry of the Western Expedition and Dingxi armies had more time to shoot, which caused great damage to the shooting, and it was very likely that the opponent would be wiped out. Yan Xing and Ma Teng immediately chose the fifth row of rapid fire and then began to perform roundabout tactics.

The fifth round of shooting suddenly broke out before Panelson's eyes, facing the light cavalry he was proud of. Fortunately, there were less than 10,000 heavy cavalry in front of him. Panelson immediately woke up. There was no future in the light cavalry without heavy cavalry and wanted to fight with the opponent. He immediately ordered the light cavalry to retreat and launch a reshoot.

Although the demise of the heavy cavalry is destined to be irreversible, Panelson did not give up. The cavalry resting in his heart still had a lot of space to display in this flat grassland, and his unique skills have not been revealed.

After Panilson sounded the retreating horn, King Wusun's face turned pale. He quickly glanced at the messy corpse on the ground and immediately retreated...

The Wusun cavalry that charged forward did not have the skills and command art as good as the Anxi Cavalry. Panelson's retreat order was to retreat left instead of emergency stopping and brake backward. He took the lead in throwing the javelin at the Han cavalry with force. His spear was facing Yan Xing.

Yan Xing is an expert in martial arts. As one of the few people who can fight Ma Chao in the mid-stage Three Kingdoms, he is still very agile and immediately turned sideways to give way to this javelin.

Panelson was slightly stunned again. This was the first time he failed, but the current situation did not allow him to hesitate. He immediately took out the horse bow and drove the horse to the left. He shot another arrow at Yan Xing horizontally. Yan Xing could not dodge and opened his mouth to bite the arrow.

Panelson was startled by Yan Xing's skills, and a thought flashed through his mind---this person was a devil-like incarnation!

At this time, the Dingxi Army was suddenly chaotic under the attack of the Anxi Cavalry's spear-throwing cavalry, and its speed also dropped. The front light cavalry of the Anxi Cavalry, led by Panelson, seized the short change and had completed the turn. When they were sideways, they shot an arrow at the Dingxi Army. The Dingxi Army's cavalry that rushed in the first row fell down immediately, and the fifth platoon of the Dingxi Army began to detour, missing the best opportunity to encircle the Anxi Cavalry.

The cavalry of the Anxu Empire were all good at "rest and looking back arrows". Although the cavalry at the tail of the formation were killed by the Han Rangers who rushed up from the second platoon, most of the cavalry immediately turned around and shot arrows after successfully detouring. The cavalry in the Dingxi Army kept falling down during the pursuit.

This continuous shooting caused the Dingxi Army to continue to pursue, and they did not even dare to pursue too quickly.

Compared with the cavalry regiment in Central Asia, the cavalry that the herdsmen in Wusun gathered together was much more serious. Ma Teng's first row of cavalry rushed up and chopped down tens of thousands of people. Wusun turned his head like this, and the cavalry's speed dropped rapidly and was completely surrounded by Ma Teng.

King Wusun immediately got off the horse and surrendered. Ma Teng coldly drew out three arrows and shot them at the same time, hitting the King Wusun on both shoulders and left knee, and immediately destroyed the general King Wusun to escape, because he would never be able to ride a horse in his life.

Just as the King of Wusun cried on the spot, Ma Teng looked back at the Dingxi Army. He found that they were different from him. Facing a very powerful cavalry, more than 80% of the soldiers in the entire cavalry could use their unique skills on the grassland - a look back arrow. This was the first magic arrow of the Han Dynasty - Huang Zhong's unique skills. Although they did not have the accuracy and strength of Huang Zhong, it was already amazing to be able to master basic skills. The 30,000 cavalry in the Western Region led by Cheshigong Yanzi had arrived, and Ma Teng immediately left the task of escorting King of Wusun and his 50,000 remaining troops to him.

The yanzi had not shot a single arrow, and he had obtained such a great contribution for no reason. His face was about to smile in half. Seeing Ma Teng looking into the distance with a cold face, he also looked along his sight. When he saw the cavalry regiment of the Anxu Empire performing a large-scale look back, his face immediately turned into pork liver sauce.

Ma Teng stared at him and said, "I'll go and help Yan Xing. You take these people back!"

He blew a loud whistle, summoned the troops to re-concentrate, took the lead in charge, and chased Yan Xing and the Anxi Empire cavalry regiment.

Yan Xing found that if he continued to pursue this, at least half of his Dingxi Army would be destroyed here. He immediately ordered the entire army to replace them with a new strong bow and launch a counterattack. There were not many people in the Dingxi Army who had the arrows back, but this time they were chasing them, just use normal flying shots.

When Panelson took the arrow back again, he almost frightened his chin fell down. The cavalry, who were obviously charging cavalry, all replaced them with very tight bows. Before the arrows in his hand were shot out, the opponent's arrows were already rushing over, and thousands of cavalrymen in the cavalry team fell down immediately.

The Rangers of Dingxi Army were the first cavalry regiments that formed the characteristics of Rangers in the Han Dynasty, because the Qiang people lived a semi-herd and half-agricultural life. Although they had cities, they mainly relied on nomads and had outstanding physical fitness. In fact, the Commander-in-Chief’s Office formulated a large-scale development of Rangers as the main cavalry regiment of the Han Dynasty. It also started with the Dingxi Army.

Unlike the bow shooting of nomadic peoples, the Han Rangers adopted a volley system. After each general fired an arrow, all the soldiers under the tent immediately fired at the same angle and direction. This kind of surface strike of the rain of arrows effectively solved the defect of the Han Rangers' bow shooting on horseback, which was not as accurate as the Xianbei people. Although it was wasteful, the Han Dynasty had money and lacked cavalry who were good at flying shooting. At the same time, the imitation of angles and directions mainly relies on each and the lieutenant. As long as the supervisor aims the direction at the weakest position of the enemy, it doesn't matter if it shoots the air. Anyway, even if it is a rain of arrows, it can hit hundreds of people.

Panilson stopped shooting the arrow and immediately sounded the horn to accelerate retreat, intending to rely on the superior performance of the Turkish horse (the Great Persian horse mentioned by the Western Regions) to get rid of this devil cavalry regiment.

The Turkish horse was the result of the natural fusion of cold-blooded forest horses on the Western Siberian grasslands in the north tens of thousands of years ago and the passionate horses in Central Asia. When confronted with the Iberima of Rome, it had an advantage. However, this horse was actually suitable for charge cavalry and was worse than the Dayuan horse in terms of endurance. Panelson's own mount was the pure-blooded Dayuan horse, but the Dayuan horse was a fine breed of land horse in the country of Dayuan. It was impossible to have a large area of ​​equipment, so the cavalry of the Anxi Empire used the standard of horses to adopt Turkish horses.

Relatively speaking, the Western Liang horses used on large scale by the Han Rangers are indeed inferior to those of Turkish horses in terms of size and weight load, but thanks to the bloodline of the Dayuan horse, there is not much difference in endurance.

Panelson led the cavalry to retreat for two hours. When he looked back, he almost fainted. The Han cavalry was still behind, and another group also came. After roughly counting at least 80,000 people, and the remaining area was only more than 70,000.

He was particularly depressed. He once heard from the King of Wusun that most of the war horses of the Han Dynasty used the local horses of the Han Dynasty, which were worse than the Hun horses. How could they run almost the same as the Turkish horses?

The two armies galloped for three hours. Yan Xing saw that the quality of the Great Persian horse was indeed above the Western Liang horse, and it went deeper into Wusun. He decisively ordered the quest to stop, and Ma Teng also brought the cavalry to come.

When Yan Xing saw him, he cursed unconvincedly: "Fuck. The first time we encountered a situation where horses were worse than others, when we fought against the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei, those grandchildren wanted to run away and could catch up in an hour!"

Ma Teng was also very unhappy. After chasing for two hours, he didn't even touch the horse's hair. He cursed: "It's so fucking evil. The bird-bird Persian horse is really fucking evil. It's better than the Xiliang horse. When we go back, we have to ask the emperor to change us a better war horse. Otherwise, we still can't catch up with those people next time!"

The two of them quit and cursed and surrendered to the Southern Han Dynasty, which was the first time they encountered this situation. They had been chasing for two hours but didn't catch up. When they returned to the camp, they even shouted and asked Xun You to change their horses.

Seeing that they had won such a big victory, Xun You didn't care about it. The two of them calmed down and reported to Xun You all the details of the battle situation.

Xun You smiled and said, "The general situation of the battle is that Yanzi, who came back first, has already told me. It seems that the opponent's Anxi cavalry is more powerful than our two main cavalrymen, so you are very dissatisfied!"

Yan Xing raised his legs, took a sip of wine, patted his thighs, shook his head and sighed, "It's okay if you don't accept it. Even if the horse is good, the quality of the soldiers is really nothing to say. I used to think that Xianbei people are good at riding and shooting, but compared with them, it's too different. Eight of these people can use the look back arrow. I have been dealing with cavalry in various places for a lifetime. The first time I encountered such an opponent, Gongda said unbelievable. You ask our General Ma!"

Xun You and Ma Teng both knew that he was a person who had a big victory and became completely a hooligan temperament, but after a few days he became steady and didn't say anything about him. Anyway, they were old partners, and they had been used to each other long ago. If he didn't stand up, the two of them would be a little worried about something going wrong.

Xun You looked at Ma Teng. Ma Teng was getting older and much more steady than when he was young. He nodded slightly and said, "Our great victory is first of all, the strength of the tide formation and the Xiangyang crossbow. Secondly, our military discipline is neat. In terms of horses and soldiers, it is indeed much worse than them. They have never encountered the tide formation. They will not hedge next time they meet. It may be changed to swimmers. If the number of people is not much different, it is very likely that we will lose!"

Yan Xing shook his head and said, "It may not be necessary. In fact, they still have to face our tide array when they change the tide array. After all, our tide array has three ways of changing. When they fully understand, their main cavalry regiment will end long ago. However, they know that the existence of the tide array and will definitely avoid head-on battles next time. Under this premise, I think that both sides can't fight any results. If we can't chase them, it doesn't mean they can catch us. In fact, their big Persian horse is better than us. It's not as big as the Xiliang horse and the Xiongnu horse. They can't catch up within two hours. After two hours, it's hard to say that the endurance of the Xiliang horse is definitely not worse than that of them. It's just that the explosive power is not better than that of them. When we charge, I guessed that they couldn't start the speed, but they still increased the speed. I was shocked at that time. It was really good to have their horses!"

Xun You smiled and said, "After all the time, you mean that if our horses are similar to them, we will have a bigger chance of winning."

Yan Xing smiled and said, "The former general has heard what I mean. Why don't you tell the emperor about changing horses!"

Xun You coughed falsely and said, "Actually, before I came, the emperor had already told me that the Yili Grassland is one of the two best grasslands that the Han might have. Now it seems that it is true. What do you think?"

Ma Teng nodded and said, "The north of the Mo River is dry, and the water and soil are cooler than here. The climate in Hetao is not as cool as here. If you want to talk about the place where horses are raised, this place is indeed the best condition among the grasslands I have seen in my life. The water and soil are also good, and the grass is green and lush."

Xun You said: "So the emperor wants to move the best cavalry of the Han Dynasty here to shepherd with horses. Do you think which horse is better to raise?"

Yan Xing stood up and shouted anxiously: "That's all, they are big Persian horses!"

Ma Teng shook his hand and said, "We can't catch up with them even if we use the Great Persian horse. We are all rangers, and we weigh 30 kilograms of armor. The remaining land is light cavalry. The 30,000 heavy cavalry has long died. In my opinion, it's okay to use the Great Persian horse for heavy cavalry. Our rangers can't use this horse!"

Xun You smiled and said, "Actually, the emperor has decided to raise a horse, and he has already bought the best horse breed to improve his bloodline. Don't worry!"
Chapter completed!
