The ground was covered with dust as the cavalry charged. Zhao Min smiled and said, "When I was little, I often did this kind of thing myself."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "I remember that Min'er was very heroic back then, and she often wore red armor. Whenever you appeared on the battlefield, you were the most dazzling star."
"And now, although my Min'er is a little older and not as pretty as before, her skin is not as good as before, and there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but at least she was able to save her life after the country was destroyed and her family was ruined."
After hearing this, Zhao Min glared at him fiercely and said: "Everyone in the world can laugh at me with words like the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, but you can't."
"Zhang Wuji, if you dare to joke about this kind of thing again, I'll turn against you."
Zhang Wuji was a little surprised. Looking at Zhao Min's angry face, he naturally knew that he had said the wrong thing: "Min'er, I'm sorry, I just spoke too quickly and made a joke with you."
"I have never laughed at you in my life, you should know that."
Zhao Min gave Zhang Wuji a fierce look and said, "Hmph, your apology is quite sincere."
"But you just said that I'm not as pretty as before, my skin isn't as good as before, and there are wrinkles at the corners of my eyes. Such words can be fatal for a woman."
"Don't talk to me like that again in the future."
Zhang Wuji said: "Min'er, what I said was nonsense. You are as beautiful as before, but you are older and not as lively and smart as you used to be."
"However, I still like you to death. If you don't believe me, I will come to you at night and explain it to you."
Looking at Zhang Wuji's obscene eyes, Zhao Min quickly shook her head: "Forget it, I don't want to listen to your explanation. If you explain all night, I will be the one with a hoarse voice the next day."
…
A moment later, Doron's cavalry was about to rush into the Persian cavalry camp, but in comparison, the Persian cavalry was not too anxious to charge. Seeing that the cavalry led by Doron had marched into the range of bows and arrows, the Persian soldiers first threw two waves of arrows. Don't underestimate these two waves of arrows. These two waves of arrows killed and injured three or four hundred of Doron's men.
Afterwards, the Persian cavalry launched a charge. In an instant, the two groups of people collided with each other. Doron's cavalry had been running for a while, so when they charged, their speed had already increased. Therefore, they crashed into the Persian cavalry formation almost in an instant. However, the Persian cavalry formation was too thick. After crashing into it, they did not completely tear the Persian cavalry apart for a while, but the two sides were directly burned together.
Zhang Wuji, who was watching the battle from the rear, said: "Duolun's soldiers can also be described as brave and courageous."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Indeed, but in my estimation, Timur doesn't have many such elite cavalrymen under his command."
"If he had hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen of this strength, he probably wouldn't have been driven to such a barren place by Persia."
"Moreover, even if this army seems to be capable of fighting, if it continues to waste time like this, it will probably be wiped out by the Persian cavalry in a short time."
Zhang Wuji said: "There may be ambushes behind the two hillsides behind the battlefield. Could this Persian cavalry be luring us?"
Zhao Min glanced at Zhang Wuji; "I didn't expect that your enemy seems to have made progress. You can see that?"
Zhang Wuji was speechless for a moment: "What's so obvious about this? We have 150,000 people. Even if the Persian emperor is stupid, he wouldn't use 5,000 people to test our strength. If he is still a normal person, he will definitely leave some backup plan for himself."
"If nothing unexpected happens, if we push forward with our army now, this Persian cavalry will definitely flee to the rear for their lives. As long as we catch up with them, we will definitely suffer a great loss."
Zhao Minyan said: "Yes, if we chase after them, we will definitely suffer a great loss, but wouldn't it be better if we don't chase them?"
As she spoke, Zhao Min turned her gaze to Yang Xiao: "General Yang, in two quarters of an hour, you will lead three thousand cavalrymen to the front to provide support. Don't let Duolun's cavalry die out. But remember, the Persians have an ambush. Once this Persian cavalry retreats, you must not pursue them."
"Otherwise, if you are ambushed, I will not send troops to rescue you."
Yang Xiao quickly accepted the order, but at this moment, Sarina hurried to Zhao Min and said, "Sister, Na Duolun watched me grow up. If you let him fight in the front for two quarters of an hour, the casualties of his soldiers will be very heavy."
Zhao Min glared at Sarina fiercely: "You little girl, there are always casualties in war. Almost all the 3,000 men your father sent to you are dead. How can I let my own soldiers go up and fight to the death?"
"You..." Sarina was so angry that she was speechless, and there was a mist in her beautiful big eyes.
"Cry? Hold back your tears! If you dare to cry today, I will kill all three thousand soldiers your father sent to you.
Sarina was frightened by these words. She actually forced herself to hold back the tears that were already welling up in her eyes.
Zhao Min smiled and stroked Sarina's face: "That's right, you must be obedient, otherwise, my hands will be black."
…
A quarter of an hour later, more than a thousand of Duolun's three thousand cavalrymen had been killed or wounded, and their combat effectiveness had been reduced by nearly half. To be honest, he now wanted to run away. If this continued, his three thousand men would probably become cannon fodder.
However, just when Duolun felt despair, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. A powerful group of Ming cavalry was pressing forward. Seeing this, Duolun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, fortunately, it seems that Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min don't really regard me as cannon fodder."
…
In the distance, a man hid in the dark, observing the situation on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, the Ming army's follow-up troops have also joined the battle. It seems that your plan should have been successful."
The person hiding in the dark and observing the battle was Altai. He shook his head and sighed, "Bullshit success. If the Ming army had sent a large number of troops to attack directly, it would have been a success. But look at the battlefield now. Most of the troops behind the Ming army have no intention of even moving. They must have realized that there would be an ambush on this side of the mountain."
The Persian minister on the side said: "Now that we have been discovered by the Ming army, what should we do? Should we let our soldiers withdraw, or let them continue to fight to the death with the Ming army? Or should we continue to send troops forward to support them?"
Altai said: "If we support, it is absolutely not possible. If we do that, it will become a tactic of adding fuel to the fire. If we fight like that, it will easily turn into a decisive battle. If it is a decisive battle, we will need to gather more troops."
"Pass the order down, let our soldiers withdraw in a quarter of an hour. If the Ming army follows us, we will use the mountain terrain to destroy them on the spot. If the Ming army does not follow us, we will withdraw immediately. I don't believe that we can't win a battle with the advantage of time, place and people."
