The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Before Li Chengyi went to war, he was also called over by Li Xiang and educated for a long time. He said that these were all elite Arabs, so he must be careful when fighting and suppress his original pride.

Li Chengyi was a proud man, and having won on the battlefield, he did not take the army of the Arab Empire seriously at all. However, the situation before him made him feel that His Highness was being too cautious.

In other words, we took them too seriously. We brought a group of troops from Chang'an, and almost 30% of the army's artillery and muskets were assembled. Take our 20,000 people for example, they are already armed to the teeth. But now their army can't break through at all. Looking from the sky, the tens of thousands of Arab troops have become a big melting pot. All of them are confused and just wandering around in that piece of land, and many of them want to rush out.

The end result was that they couldn't rush out, and they knocked other people off their horses or camels. After these people fell to the ground, screams were heard. Either their arms were broken by the horses' hooves, or their heads were crushed by the camels.

In short, there were one tragic scene after another. When the Tang army watched from a distance, their palms were sweating with nervousness. They were thinking about the so-called desert storm and the black storm, which were all used to describe the Arab cavalry. But now they didn't see any storm, but instead saw their own people killing each other.

"Increase firepower output, move the cavalry to the two wings, bypass the musketeers and artillery, and be ready to attack at any time."

Li Chengyi immediately made adjustments to the army. Under the current circumstances, the original tactics are definitely useless. Our cavalry cannot sit idle. We should wait a while. When they are more chaotic, we can rush over directly. As for whether their people can withstand it, that is their own business.

From this we can see that the Tang Dynasty army is well-trained. Although the formation was changed in a short period of time, the army was not in chaos. It can also be seen that they must have taken their training very seriously. If they did not train well, the whole team would have been in chaos by now.

When Li Chengyi's men were replaced, the formation of the Arab Empire army became more chaotic, and our artillery had stopped attacking. It was not for any other reason, but mainly because the barrel was too hot. If we continued to fire, it would probably explode.

The crossbow has already started to move forward. Fortunately, this thing is relatively light and can be carried by several soldiers. The positions that originally belonged to the crossbow soldiers are now filled with crossbows.

As the whooshing sounds were heard, a large number of crossbows were fired. The glimmer of hope that the Arab soldiers had just seen was immediately shattered. Although the explosive power of the crossbows was not as strong as that of the artillery shells, the number of crossbows was too large, which made the Arab soldiers who had just stabilized fall into hell again.

Many people have collapsed. They have never seen such a way of fighting. Even when they encountered the heavy cavalry of the Frankish Kingdom, they did not collapse like they do now. At least that kind of fighting method still exists in their cognition. Now this fighting method is beyond their imagination.

They could see the Tang army, and the Tang army did not take advantage of the chaos to attack. At that time, many people laughed at the Tang army, thinking that they did not know how to seize the opportunity. Now they understand what was going on. There was no need for them to seize this so-called opportunity.

They didn't come because they were afraid of accidentally hurting their own people. Now all kinds of crossbows were exploding in their camp, and many people felt that they were not as good as the artillery just now. After all, the explosion of artillery was powerful, but the scope of influence was relatively small. After all, the number of artillery was small, but now crossbows were just like blooming everywhere. It was not easy to integrate a team of two or three thousand people, hoping that they would attack the Tang camp and then stop the Tang artillery from firing. However, under the explosion of crossbows, the team of two or three thousand people instantly fell into a state of no command.

"Report to the general, another Arab army was spotted on the right, and they also spotted us."

Just as Li Chengyi was watching happily, he discovered an entire Arab army on the right. The number of people was about 20,000, and they had already formed a battle formation. The two Arab armies together had nearly 40,000 people.

Twenty thousand of them have been defeated by us, and the actual casualties are only about three thousand. But the rest are either injured or have lost their will. The most important thing now is this newly emerged army.

"Quickly build up the left side defense and allocate half of the ballistae."

This is indeed a bit tricky. We thought we had won a great victory, but unexpectedly, an Arab army appeared. This is also related to our scouts. After the chaos on the battlefield, they did not come back to report immediately. However, Li Chengyi believes that his soldiers are capable enough to deal with it all.

It is relatively difficult to transfer artillery, so at this time we have to rely on crossbows. Li Chengyi did not easily use the cavalry and musketeers in his hands. These are the troops that guarantee the safety of the entire victory. Anyway, the army on the left has not rushed over yet, so there is no need to rush now.

The general leading the troops on the left also understood that there was no point in going to rescue now, and they had to rush to attack the Tang army's camp.

Facing the aggressive army on the left, the crossbows instantly released shells, causing some damage to the army, but not as much as that caused by the artillery, so after the initial panic, the army immediately reorganized and dispersed to protect themselves from the shells.

When seeing this scene, Li Chengyi also gave a thumbs up. Our artillery has attacked the armies of many countries, especially cavalry which are larger targets. We have never fought in this way before. It seems that the general leading this army is different. He actually knows how to disperse his troops.

But you have only passed the first level. When this army entered the firing range of the musketeers, Li Chengyi drew out his command knife very arrogantly, and then waved it fiercely in front of him. The sound of the surrounding muskets firing almost shook him off his horse.

Thousands of muskets fired at the same time, and the cavalry at the front seemed to be hit by a barrage of bullets... (End of this chapter)
