The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 312: Destroy Byzantium’s million-strong army!
Li Lizhi beheaded the general in front of the formation, which greatly boosted the morale of the Tang army!

The entire Tang army was excited!

The Byzantine Empire never expected that the knight would be defeated so easily by a woman!
"Array! Prepare to attack!"

Babbitt looked ugly and ordered without hesitation.

The opportunity has been lost. If they delay it now, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable for them. They must attack immediately!

"Inform the Persian and Tianzhu armies to prepare to launch a general attack together to completely destroy this Tang army!"

As Babbitt's order was issued, the entire Byzantine Empire army immediately began to mobilize, and hundreds of thousands of ragged slaves were sent to the front of the army.

The Byzantine Empire's usual tactic was to use a large number of slaves to consume the enemy's strength, and then the elite troops were dispatched to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!
This tactic is very similar to that of the former East Turks, who also liked to use this kind of human sea war of attrition.

Hundreds of thousands of slaves, forced by the Byzantine soldiers behind them, began to rush madly in the direction of the Tang army!
Although they had no formation at all, and they didn't even have decent weapons, they all started charging into the formation like crazy!
"Human sea tactics? It seems that I really think highly of these Westerners."

Yue Fei raised his eyebrows and immediately ordered: "Prepare the crossbows!"

"put!"

As Yue Fei's order was issued, the soldiers in front of the army retreated, and the mechanical crossbow boxes and repeating crossbows were pushed out!
The next moment, countless crossbow arrows shot out, covering the hundreds of thousands of slave soldiers in an overwhelming attack!
And on the flat ground, the continuous-fire crossbow also showed its fierce power!

Under the dense and overwhelming cover of crossbow arrows, the hundreds of thousands of slave soldiers continued to fall like wheat blown by the wind. Even a few who passed through the rain of arrows from the sky were still torn into pieces by the continuous powerful crossbows!

In just a few minutes, hundreds of thousands of slave soldiers turned into corpses filled with arrows!
Such a scene stunned the Byzantine army.

They also have arrows here, but where do they have such terrifying range and power?The opponent's arrows seemed to be free of charge. Hundreds of thousands of slave soldiers were completely destroyed without even touching the enemy's armor!
"Damn!!"

Babbitt cursed fiercely. The armament technology of the Tang army was far superior to theirs, and the consumption of slave soldiers would not have any effect at all!

Although there are still many slaves left, no matter how many slaves are sent forward now, they will die!

"All troops charge!"

Babbitt drew out the scimitar from his waist and immediately ordered the army to prepare to charge.

Now only by forcing the opponent to fight head-on can we have any hope of victory!
"The whole army retreats!"

But when the Byzantine elite army was in full-scale attack, Yue Fei ordered the army to retreat without hesitation and not to make direct contact with the enemy.

Because when the Byzantine Empire army launched its attack, a line of black tide appeared on the horizon of the plain in the distance, rushing towards the Byzantine army!As this line of black tide approaches, the entire earth begins to tremble and the earth shakes!
This line of black tide is all heavy cavalry. Whether they are soldiers or horses, they are all wearing heavy armor, holding long guns, and charging towards them with an overwhelming force!

It’s 30 Northwest Iron Cavalry!

They are the most elite heavy cavalry in the Tang Dynasty!
Yue Fei's order to retreat was just to free up the battlefield for them!
On this plain battlefield, heavy cavalry is the absolute overlord!
The heavy cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is the best in the world!
The power generated by the attack of 30 heavy cavalry is so terrifying that it makes people feel as if the earth will crack at any time!

"Release the arrow! Release the arrow!"

Sensing the sudden attack of 30 heavy cavalry from the side, Babbitt's expression changed drastically and he roared hysterically.

If these 30 heavy cavalry charge over, they will directly break up the formation of their army!

The hurried Byzantine Empire army began to fire arrows one after another, but the Northwest Iron Cavalry was not afraid at all. They were all covered in heavy armor made of steel, and the horses under their crotches were all armed to the teeth!
They braved the rain of arrows and rushed into the Byzantine Empire's army formation!

Like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, nothing can stop the heavy cavalry charging at full speed!
All the enemies in front of them were mercilessly destroyed, crushed to pieces, and mixed with blood and flesh into the mud!

The troops of Tianzhu and Persia had been staying on the flanks and rear of the army. When the northwest cavalry began to charge, they retreated.

Unlike the bloated army of the Byzantine Empire, which numbered one million, they were much smaller in number. After retreating, they directly formed a formation and blocked the retreat of the Byzantine Empire army!
They chose to turn against each other at this time!
Seeing this scene, Babbitt's heart was completely chilled. Now, he understands everything. This war is simply a huge trap!The trap waiting for the Byzantine Empire to step into!

It's all over.

……

After the northwest cavalry charged into battle, the entire Byzantine Empire army suffered heavy casualties. The most important thing was that the battle formation was also torn to pieces.

The Northwest Iron Cavalry only sprinted back and forth, and then left the battlefield directly.

Then, under the leadership of Ran Min, Li Lizhi, and Xue Wanche, the Yizhou Army and the Weizhou Army followed and completely took over the battlefield!
From the beginning to the end, the armies of Persia and Tianzhu just watched on the sidelines, and at most they blocked the retreat of the Byzantine Empire army.

However, after witnessing the entire battle, they were deeply shocked.

In this war, the Tang army only used cold weapons, powerful hot weapons such as muskets, artillery, and explosives. Because they were afraid of accidentally injuring their friendly forces, they were only placed in the army and not put into use.

But even so, it is still a powerful deterrent and shock!
The thousands of huge cannons reflecting the cold light made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

This battle lasted for a whole day. With the active cooperation of the Tianzhu and Persian armies, 130 of the 80 million troops invaded by the Byzantine Empire were directly killed. The remaining 30 elites or slaves chose to surrender and became prisoners. .

At this point, the Byzantine Empire's Crusade Army was completely destroyed!
