Kalmyk''s pursuers finally appeared in Cherchen on their way to cherkesk. Their leading force was about 1000 people, which was the size of a thousand people team. From prigit, Chechen already knew that the military establishment of the Kalmyk was decimal, that is, the minimum establishment unit was ten cavalry, including a ten captain. Then ten Centurion cavalry formed a centurion team, and the officer leading them was centurion, and so on. The highest level was 10000 households. However, in the Kalmyk khanate, only the Great Khan has the power to command a team of 10000 people.


    To cope with a thousand cavalry, the strength of Xie Miao and Isak patriarch is obviously not enough. So, after receiving the news of Xie Miao''s meeting the enemy, Chechen immediately rushed to support with Hessen cavalry and five guns.


    When Chechen arrived, Xie Miao and the Kalmyk cavalry were in hand to hand combat. These Kalmyk people had already developed the heart of belittling the enemy because of their continuous victories. When they saw that Xie Miao and Isak patriarchs had only these soldiers and horses, they were so arrogant that they shot only a wave of arrows and rushed straight into the square array composed of 200 infantry.


    Xie Miao and his soldiers are equipped with mixed equipment. Half of them are equipped with shields and page hammers, and the other half are equipped with long guns. When the arrow rain of Kalmyk people shot at them, the soldiers in the front row resolutely erected steel shields to cover themselves and their companions.


    Then the Kalmyk cavalry approached the phalanx. Because that wave of arrow rain did not cause effective killing, the spearmen in the square array firmly held their spears and pointed forward, and the equipment made the spear tip have a close contact with the Kalmyk people.


    Kalmyk people are not afraid of death, but their war horses, as animals, are naturally afraid of sharp things. When the eyes of the horses saw that they were hitting the long gun, they instinctively wanted to avoid it.


    Some of the horses passed in front of the gun tip, while others were not so lucky and ran straight into it under the control of the driver.


    A crackling noise broke more than ten long guns in the square array at the same time. But the attack of the Kalmyk cavalry was also one of them.


    "Ula!"


    Xie Miao shouted. He squeezed through the crack of the long gun and came to the Kalmyk. He was facing a Kalmyk cavalry who fell off his horse and was about to get up. It was a leaf hammer.


    The heavy iron leaf hammer hit the Kalmyk in the face, his face immediately changed shape, and his body fell out under the action of the leaf hammer.


    Other soldiers followed suit. With a steel shield in one hand, they resisted the machetes wielded by the Kalmyk from their horses, and with a leaf hammer in the other hand, they slammed the war horse or Kalmyk''s exposed thighs.


    In Yasu fort, they have trained this set of combat skills very skillfully.


    In one confrontation, ten Kalmyk cavalry and the bodies of their horses lay around the square, while Xie Miao lost only two casualties.


    The commander of the Kalmyk people also knew that they had encountered hard bones. He quickly informed the cavalry in front of him to return with a sign, and then pointed the attack at the Tatar cavalry led by the head of Isak clan.


    The Tatar cavalry of the Isak patriarch originally swam on the two wings of the phalanx, blocking the siege of Xie Miao by the karmec cavalry with arrow rain. When the Kalmyk cavalry focused their attack on Xie Miao, they were relaxed and had no pressure. However, when the Kalmyk focused on attacking them, the shortcomings of the Tatar cavalry were exposed. They were forced into close combat with well prepared karmec cavalry, with heavy casualties.


    Gradually, the patriarch of Isak and his clan cavalry began to lose support. Although Xie Miao intended to support them, once they left the square, they would be blocked by the arrow rain of Kalmyk cavalry and forced back.


    This is the battle situation when they arrived.


    Seeing that the asak patriarch was gradually losing support, Cherchen quickly ordered the artillery to build an artillery position on the spot.


    In less than ten seconds, five shells poured into the Kalmyk cavalry that appeared in the West. The sharp whistling of shells across the air and the huge roar when they landed had a soul shaking effect. The Kalmyk cavalry sat down, and the horses who had not undergone artillery adaptability training raised their hooves, and several Kalmyk cavalry even fell off their saddles by their own horses.


    Che Chen pulled the sleeve of the telescope to the longest. He was eager to see the results of this round of shelling, but he couldn''t see anything clearly because of the smoke of gunpowder.


    When the smoke finally dispersed, the Kalmyk cavalry, which had been shrouded in the smoke, had long disappeared. On the ground were the bodies of seven or eight war horses lying upside down, some of them still breathing. These poor creatures twitched their cramped hooves and exhausted their last strength in the struggle. In addition, there was no body of kalmec cavalry on the ground.


    Of course, it is impossible to say that the other party''s people have no casualties. Even the tenacious fighting horses fell to death. Judging from the casualties of the fighting horses, this round of shells also killed at least more than a dozen enemy cavalry. But these karmec cavalry were well-trained and took away the bodies of their wounded and their companions when they retreated.


    Seeing that Cherchen saved himself, the head of Isak quickly came to thank him.


    "Bey, it''s time for you to come," said the patriarch of Isak.


    "Clan leader, in fact, even if we don''t come, it''s nothing to beat them back with the bravery of you and your clan children." Chechen complimented.


    Hearing that Chechen praised himself so much, the head of Isak was happy. He pulled out his machete with pride and ran after the retreating karmec cavalry.


    Looking at the back of asak patriarch, Cherchen took down the telescope and sighed very secretly. He said, "Uncle Pedro, what do you think?"


    For a long time, Chechen didn''t hear a response. He remembered that Pedro didn''t follow and was commanding the retreat in front.


    However, looking at the battle and retreat just now, Chechen finally had an intuitive impression of the bravery of the Kalmyk people - these Kalmyk cavalry are really strong!


    And he was somewhat helpless - compared with the Tatars in Crimea, these Kalmyks from the East were the descendants of Genghis Khan.


    Chechen knew that the Kalmyks had never seen artillery before. However, after a round of unexpected shelling by his own artillery, the commander of the Kalmyk cavalry can stabilize the team in such a short time and take away all the wounded and bodies. This alone can be called a strong army!
