More competition practice for Gordon, this time Tang Chinese against his Central Asian City States The terrain fell kindly for the Chinese allowing them to secure both flanks against the entirely mounted Turkish army:
The Turks attempt to exploit the weakness of the Chinese medium swordsmen against mounted while the Chinese bring up their heavy foot in support:
Turkish cavalry attack:
The Chinese line largely holds on:
More troops are fed into the fight:
The Chinese cavalry sense there may be an opportunity for them:
Chinese medium swordsmen collapse after a hard fight:
The heavier Chinese foot are inflicting losses on the Turks though;
The Chinese have set up a new defensive line which the Turks are reluctant to engage:
On the right the Chinese force back a few Turkish skirmishers:
The fight is now turning in favour of the Chinese:
Quantity over quality sometimes works:
Gaps start to appear in the Turkish ranks:
The fight continues:
Eventually the Turkish army breaks:
A close game largely decided on by Gordon's army being very small and unable to take that many losses! The terrain definitely favoured the Chinese negating almost all of the Turks ability to redeploy though they did get to open the attack against the most vulnerable troops in the Chinese army.
