Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

In the early morning of the next day, Ostam ordered the army to line up early. Today’s Persian army is completely different from yesterday’s Persian army. Not only Ostam, but the spirit of the entire Persian army is completely different from yesterday’s. Different, this is morale.

More importantly, today's Ostam has a defensive formation, even though he clearly knows that he is now at an advantage.

As for the reason, it is naturally because he added [-] arrows yesterday. The arrows of both of them have been exhausted, and the lethality of their arrows before was not enough. Although there are iron arrows in them, quite a few It is a bone or wooden arrowhead, and the iron arrowhead is also the most common flat iron arrowhead, because it is easier to make.

Like this kind of triangular armor-piercing arrow, and there is no armor-piercing arrow with so much iron in Persia!

So today Ostam wants to fish, because he knows that the Arabs can't afford it, and the Arab reserve army is not so sufficient, but in fact Persia can still dispatch more troops from the deeper hinterland.

The reason why he was anxious to attack before was because of the order of Isai III, and Isai III was because of these manor owners in Mesopotamia. They kept asking Isai III, saying that they have always Being harassed by the Arabs, if the Arabs are not defeated, they will join the Arabs.

It was precisely because of the pressure from these people that Isai III had to order Ostam to attack forcefully. Otherwise, according to Ostam's established strategy, he would confront the opponent across the river until Persia drew from the hinterland. More soldiers, train more soldiers to add.

At that time, Arabia retreated without a fight.

In history, it was true that this order led to the defeat of Persia, but the situation is different now.

He knew the embarrassment of the Arabs. They either retreated overnight last night, or they would definitely attack today.

So he was waiting for the Arabs to charge!

Today's Ostam placed a large number of shields on the front line, these shields will provide shelter for his people, and if the Arabs want to attack, they must charge!

As long as the other party dares to charge, he has to let the other party know what cruelty is!

Just as Ostam thought, when he saw the opponent directly forming an iron barrel formation, Saild frowned. The Persians were the first to attack before, because they wanted to attack in one fell swoop. Make meritorious deeds and defeat them.

But in the three days of fighting, the Persians charged and fought directly against them, but now with the shield wall of the Persians, it is obvious that they do not want to attack.

In other words, they either retreat, or they can only charge!

Saild took a deep breath, he thought more far-reaching, retreat is possible, but there is a problem with retreat, that is, their war potential in Arabia is far inferior to that of Persia, if they cannot seize the most fertile Mesopotamia, This means that their subsequent food will have problems.

But Persia can continue to train more soldiers and mobilize more food. Their early victory is due to the carelessness of the Persians. If Persia recovers...

Therefore, they seem to have a choice, but they have no choice.

"General Kaka! It's up to you." Saild took a deep breath and said, "I will order the soldiers in the middle to charge, and then you wait for the opportunity to mobilize the troops to attack from the enemy's side."

"Yes!"

With the sound of low-pitched horns, the Arab fighters in the front row started their daily shouts, but unlike the first battle, the Persians were not moved at all.

The Persians remained motionless until their warriors called Allah Akbar four times and charged.

Ostam was in the center of the camp, looking at the swarming Arabs, his face was cold and he was not in a hurry.

When the Arab finally rushed into the range of the bow and arrow, Ostam waved his hand suddenly: "Let it go!"

The messenger next to him immediately waved down the flag in his hand, and the [-] archers gathered yesterday suddenly released the arrows in his hand.

With a sound of "buzz", densely packed arrows swarmed like a swarm of bees in an instant. Seld frowned when he saw this scene, but there were not too many fluctuations. Bows and arrows were shot from the opponent's rear, but the lethality was just that.

But this time when the bow and arrow hit the ground, Saild's pupils shrank suddenly, because more than half of the soldiers covered by the bow and arrow fell down in an instant!

And then the second wave of arrow rain came again!

This bow and arrow... the lethality is wrong!Seld reacted instantly.

When the second wave of arrow rain fell, Saild almost jumped up from his position. The first wave of soldiers who charged had armor on them!But the soldiers who followed them had no armor, they were all leather armor!

Because the opponent's formation is dense, the charging soldiers are naturally dense.

But the lethality of the second wave of arrow rain on these leather armored soldiers... Saild felt a little frightened, and he shouted directly: "Blow the horn! Withdraw! Withdraw!"

"Woo..." The Arab's low-pitched horn sounded, and the Arab soldiers who hadn't rushed into the range of the arrow rain were stunned for a moment, but they retreated quickly under the cheers of their respective generals.

"Archers get ready, if the enemy charges, shoot!" Saild said quickly.

"Order the heavy cavalry to charge!" Ostam grinned and roared violently.

"Woo!" The horns of the Persians also sounded, and the infantry phalanx in front of them instantly gave way to a few passages. The dull sound of horseshoes sounded, and the cavalry who had already lined up behind rushed out of the infantry phalanx. Rush towards the retreating Arabs.

Today's five thousand heavy cavalry is different from yesterday. This is composed of elite cavalry from the Persian army drawn by Ostam, and the horse armor on them is also concentrated with all the iron armor. Almost all the horses are covered with iron armor. The armor was not enough, and some damaged soldiers' armors were even dismantled, and then temporarily stitched together to block the horses' vital points.

So today's five thousand heavy cavalry are more lethal than yesterday, especially at this time, the Arabs who have charged halfway are retreating!

Seeing the real heavy cavalry pouring out like a tide, Saild's face was ugly, because their Arab heavy cavalry was almost exhausted.

"Archers cover! The spear phalanx advances!" Saild made his own deployment.

It's just that before their own soldiers withdrew, they could only watch as the heavy cavalry quickly caught up with the retreating soldiers and started the massacre!

The sparse bows and arrows of the Arabs also covered the enemy's heavy cavalry, even if there were still soldiers of their own within the range of the bows and arrows, Saild couldn't care less.

If the enemy's charge cannot be stopped, if these heavy cavalry rush into their formation... Saild dare not think about the consequences.
