I

The northern part of Oman lies across this mountain range.

To the south of the mountains, there are mostly deserts.

To the north of the mountains is the plain of the Gulf of Oman, which faces the sea. There are many small rivers that flow from the mountains, pass through the plains and enter the sea. This is the elite grain-producing area of ​​Oman.

The king of Oman occupied two-thirds of these elite places.

The remaining third was controlled by Zaid, so he was able to support 300 cavalry.

Cavalry is indeed cavalry, but somewhat irregular. Only a few leaders wore chain armor, and the rest didn't even have leather armor. They were fighting in linen robes.

These guys, terrified by the enemy troops in the city, fled north in a panic, trying to hide in the mountains to avoid the sharp edge, and return after the Datong army left by boat.

They still had more than two hundred and forty riders. When they heard the sound of the horn, they turned their heads and found that Lu Tianxiang was chasing after him with only twenty riders.

Surprised and angry, Zaid turned his horse's head, raised his scimitar and said, "Blow the horn, kill these pursuers!"

Fleeing in panic, the Arab cavalry had distanced themselves from each other. After hearing Zayed's order, many of them didn't have time to stop and continued to run a long way.

If you look down from the sky, there are more than two hundred cavalry, one in the east and one in the west, gathering in twos and threes to watch.

"Warriors, follow me to Imam Saeed!"

A leader wearing chain mail, unexpectedly ignoring Zayed's orders, suddenly galloped towards the east on horseback.

Moreover, the cavalry around this person rushed to follow him, abandoning Zayed directly.

"Come back, come back!" Zaid yelled in panic.

Strictly speaking, Said I of Oman is not the Sultan of Oman. Because the patriarchal system was implemented, the country was not even established, and the territory was only divided into various parishes. Said I's identity is an imam respected by the whole of Arabia.

Moreover, the capital of Said I is just five hundred miles to the east, and there are plains along the way. Even if you run to the east for twenty or thirty miles, you have already entered the border of Oman.

As I said earlier, the plains of the Gulf of Oman are the quintessence of the land, and Said I accounted for two-thirds, so how could he not covet the remaining one-third?

He had already secretly sent someone over to recruit Zaid's cavalry and pirates, but he hadn't negotiated a price yet.

At this time, Suhar City was captured by the Datong Army, and the families of these cavalrymen were all in the city. In their view, the Datong army must burn, kill and loot, and most of the family members will be killed or taken away. Anyway, the family is ruined and the future is hopeless, so it is better to seek refuge in the hero Said.

More and more Arab cavalry, ignoring Zayed's orders, galloped eastward on horseback.

Zaid could no longer care about his panic and anger, because Lu Tianxiang had chased him dozens of steps away. As for the cavalry under his command, there were only a hundred or so left, and they stood scattered everywhere, as if they were considering how to make a choice.

As Lu Tianxiang charged closer and closer, suddenly a cavalry leader got off his horse and knelt down with a few cronies, and surrendered directly to Lu Tianxiang. They were reluctant to part with their family members in the city. Whether they fled into the mountains with Zayed or went to the east to join the hero Said, they felt that their family members might be in danger.

If so, surrender directly!

In the future, if you hang out with these Chinese people, not only can you keep your family, but you can also eat delicious food and drink spicy food.

"kill!"

Zaid knew he was doomed. If he didn't eat up the pursuers, all the cavalry under his command would have to leave him.

When Zayed ordered a counter charge again, more than 30 cavalry turned to the east to join the hero Said. There are also more than a dozen cavalry, deliberately keeping a distance, neither fighting nor fleeing, observing the battle situation to decide how to choose.

More than 80 Arab cavalry did not form a team at all, and did not have time to form a team, and charged sparsely.

"Protect the empress!"

A guard chief yelled, and several knights stepped forward, crowding around Lu Tianxiang and charging.

Several of the war horses under their command come from Nanjing Racecourse, and they can all be called "royal horses".

One of them died on the way out to sea by boat, and two others got sick and were left in India. Most of the remaining war horses are Indian horse wari horses bought, and a few are good horses bought from Persia.

The main source of Persian war horses is Sistan, which is located in the border basin between Iran and Afghanistan in later generations. Today it belongs to the place where Persia and Mughals are fighting to the death. The number of horses there is kept. Some documents say 800,000 horses, and some documents say 400,000 horses. Anyway, whoever wins there can dominate.

To sum it up in one sentence, Lu Tianxiang has all good horses under his command.

And Zayed's cavalry, although they all rode Arabian horses, their quality was somewhat uneven.

Several sentry cavalry followed closely, and Lu Tianxiang's cavalry finally exceeded 30. The sentry cavalry turned around to the side of the battlefield, trying to outflank and intercept the enemy army that was two or three times larger than itself...

Whoosh!

The Arab cavalry shot arrows halfway, and then went around obliquely to both sides, unwilling to contact the Chinese cavalry. They are all light cavalry, and the enemy is all armored, and they will fight against each other if they have a sick mind.

On Lu Tianxiang's side, all the emperor's personal guards were selected from the Northeast Cavalry Division.

To be honest, it is very annoying to fight, and it is easy to be kited by light cavalry.

However, fighting and fighting, the battlefield changed again.

The Arab cavalry who circled to the east saw that the arrows they fired were not very effective. Surprisingly, more than a dozen riders accelerated to the east, unwilling to continue fighting, and took the opportunity to join the hero Said.

Lu Tianxiang thought that the enemy army on the east side was defeated, and immediately after the end of a charge, he swung his knife and shouted: "Chasing the enemy!"

Immediately led all the cavalry to charge towards the enemy in the east, and several sentry cavalry over there also cooperated in the charge.

Zaid led his troops back and chased after Lu Tianxiang to shoot arrows. Lu Tianxiang didn't care about it, and rushed towards the enemy on the east side at full speed, regardless of the Arab cavalry in other directions.

Under the scorching sun, the imperial concubine from China charged like a sharp arrow, and thirty cavalry rushed out of the formation of thousands of horses.

The enemy on the east side actually collapsed.

They no longer fly kites and shoot arrows, but flee in a swarm. Anyway, they can rely on Said in this direction.

Seeing this situation, the Arabian cavalry who watched from a distance immediately knew how to choose. Under the leadership of the two chiefs, the troops rushed straight towards Zaid, and the rest of the surrendered cavalry also shot arrows at Zaid in coordination.

The Arab cavalry on the east side fled farther and farther. Lu Tianxiang felt that it was difficult to catch up. Seeing that the enemy behind was fighting among themselves, he immediately seized the opportunity to lead his troops to kill.

Zeid, who was entangled by the traitors, his lungs were about to explode, fled north while shooting arrows.

Lu Tianxiang's blood was boiling at the moment, he bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot down the enemy in front of him, he was a guy in a linen robe.

"drive!"

Lu Tianxiang's crotch is a real imperial horse, even at the Nanjing Racecourse, it is not open to the public, only members of the royal family are allowed to ride it.

The speed was getting faster and faster, and the guards behind couldn't catch up at all, so Lu Tianxiang rushed into the enemy's formation first.

In fact, there is no formation, everything is in chaos, the Arab cavalry are fighting on their own, and they are being chased while shooting arrows and fleeing.

"call out!"

When an arrow came, Lu Tianxiang couldn't dodge it, and the arrow was nailed to his shoulder dangling.

Unharmed, blocked by lined chain mail...

"Protect your mother!" the guards shouted in panic.

But they couldn't catch up at all, Lu Tianxiang ran too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already thrown his subordinates far away.

Lu Tianxiang held the bow in his left hand, swung a knife with his right hand, and chopped off an enemy in front of him. The speed did not decrease at all, and he rushed towards Zayed, trying to kill the enemy leader.

Passing along the way, Lu Tianxiang swung his knife one after another, and cut down two Arab cavalrymen.

It's not that the imperial concubine is superior in martial arts, but that she is well equipped and is not afraid of bows and arrows at all. At the same time, he was riding a BMW, charging like flying, but all the enemies were running away, and Lu Tianxiang cut all the parts on his back.

Zaid lay prone on the horse's back, looked back from time to time, and saw Lu Tianxiang beheading several people, his scalp was numb with fright, he didn't even shoot an arrow, he just ran away at full speed.

After approaching more than ten steps, Lu Tianxiang shot again.

The arrow missed a bit and stuck in Zayed's horse's ass. Suffering from the pain, the war horse immediately ran faster, and Lu Tianxiang was so angry that he continued to chase after him.

After chasing for five miles, the two horses finally approached.

Zaid panicked and turned around to shoot the arrow, but Lu Tianxiang dodged subconsciously. Because the distance was too close, he was shot in the face by an arrow, and the arrow grazed the skin, leaving a deep wound on Lu Tianxiang's cheekbone.

"when!"

Two horses running side by side.

Lu Tianxiang slashed out with a knife, and Zaid raised his machete to block, only then did he see that it was a woman who was chasing him.

"Da da da da!"

Another war horse chased after him, but it was a guard serving as a sentinel. He was not wearing any armor, and he was riding a good horse. He was lightly dressed and ran fast. At this moment, he finally came to protect the imperial concubine.

Lu Tianxiang and Zayed fought side by side for a long time, even though they won't win or lose.

But this bodyguard who didn't wear armor was simply insane. In his first attack, he chopped off Zaid's scimitar, and then reached out to grab Zaid, who was wearing chain mail, and lifted him from the horse.

This dude is just a little captain of the guard...

Zaid didn't understand the situation at all, he felt that he was flying through the clouds, and then he was thrown to the ground hard, and he fainted instantly when his head hit the ground.

The guard reined in his horse and cupped his fists: "Your Majesty was frightened, and the general rescue came too late."

Lu Tianxiang was so depressed that she wanted to roll her eyes. She managed to catch up with the enemy general. Although it was difficult to win for a while, she could definitely defeat him. At this critical moment, she was actually robbed of her head, but she had to be grateful for his help.

"Thank you."

Lu Tianxiang threw down two words, didn't bother to pay attention to the enemy general, and immediately rode back to kill him.

The guards dismounted quickly, grabbed the fainted enemy general, threw him on the Arabian horse, and hurriedly chased after Lu Tianxiang.

The main battlefield has already been decided. A total of 56 Arab cavalry turned against each other, beheaded 47 enemy cavalry, captured 18 enemy cavalry, and all the rest of the enemy cavalry fled.

On Lu Tianxiang's side, one person was seriously injured and several others were slightly injured.

The one who was seriously injured was shot by the horse, fell down with the horse, and was crushed with a broken calf and tibia.

Lu Tianxiang was also injured, the cheekbones were visible deep in the wound, and it is estimated that there will be scars on the face. Fortunately, the wound is not big, if it heals well, it should not be too conspicuous.
