The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 1555: Cavalry vs Infantry, a Miserable Defeat
In various battles, the Arab cavalry has almost summed up their experience. There is no need to be afraid when facing such infantry. Just swing your sword and go forward. As long as your speed is fast enough, you can accumulate several military exploits.
And after wiping out this group of infantry, all the valuables on these people will be yours. You can calmly take out their belongings and put them in your own pocket. This is also a good way for the Arab army to make a fortune.
Now in the eyes of many Arab soldiers, the Tang Dynasty army in front of them is like walking wealth. As long as we can chop off their heads, we can clean up the battlefield later. As for the Tang Dynasty troops in the distance, we don’t have to care about them at all. After we chop off the heads of the army in front of them, those people will definitely be scared and will call us desert demons or something like that. The army of the Arab Empire likes such nicknames very much because it represents the fear of others.
Just when their speed reached its maximum, a large amount of white smoke suddenly emerged from the front row. They didn't understand what was going on. Could it be that the Tang army was casting a spell?
You have to know that in this day and age, no matter which country it is, people are very superstitious, and many people are very aware of this. So when they were still wondering, some people had already fallen off their horses, and some war horses and camels were also killed.
How could this be possible? How could such a thing happen? Many Arab soldiers were looking for the reason. They didn't know what happened to these people who died, but one thing was clear: the deaths of these people were directly related to the white smoke.
The cavalry troops that were so high-spirited just now now don't know what to say. They were supposed to harvest other people's heads in the past, but now it seems that is far from being the case. There is a high possibility that they will be harvested by these people. If this is the case, then we are really finished.
The first wave of attack by the Tang army only killed about 400 people, mainly because the Arab cavalry rushed too slowly. If they could rush faster, we could kill 700 to 800 of them in the first wave. You must know that the Tang cavalry fired 1,400 projectiles and only killed about 400 people. This is a very shameful result.
When they were training in the training camp in Chang'an City, most of them were able to achieve excellent results. If the number of enemies was large enough, the previous wave of shooting would have killed at least 700 people. Now there are only 400 people, and many people felt embarrassed. They thought they were aces during normal training, but only after they got to the battlefield did they realize that there were many ways to restrict military merit.
Just when the Tang soldiers were repenting, the Arab soldiers felt fear. You know, they had lost more than 400 people in just one encounter. If you count those who fell to the ground, there would be at least 500 or 600 people. They had never fought such a war before. These were a group of infantry. Even if their archery skills were able to shoot through the target from a hundred steps away, they probably didn't have such ability. What's more, how did their arrows shoot from such a distance?
In the minds of many Arab soldiers, they did not know what a musket was, and naturally did not know that it was because of gunpowder that the bullets could fly so far. They all thought it was because of the bows and arrows, but many people did not see arrows on the battlefield. When the first row of soldiers finished shooting, they stood still and reloaded bullets. The second row of soldiers immediately passed from behind and fired at the front. When they finished shooting, the soldiers behind them had also finished reloading. Nearly 3,000 musketeers took turns shooting and advancing in this way.
By the time each of them had fired four bullets, they were already fifty meters away. No one knew how many soldiers of the Arab Empire had fallen. Now these people finally knew to run back. Just now, some of them had foolishly run forward, but as a result, their bodies were shot like honeycombs of coal.
When the people behind were running back, only half of the 7,000 cavalry were left. If it weren't for the camels and war horses running around and delaying the Tang army's sight, the Tang army would have continued to advance. However, even so, the army that came out of the south gate had already been crippled.
Although they moved fast enough and were able to run back to the Arab Empire's military camp, after they ran back, in addition to saving their lives, they would also spread fear about the Tang Army, especially the Tang Army's new combat method. When all the soldiers of the Arab Empire understood it, it might not be so good.
Muhammad was stunned to see all this. The infantry of the Tang army was so powerful. How did they do all this? Someone once said to him that although the Arab Empire was very powerful, it was still far behind the Tang Empire in the East.
There were more than one person who said such things, but General Hud, like his Caliph, simply killed such people. You people have no idea how powerful the Arab Empire is, so you say such childish things.
But now he thinks he was extremely wrong. If someone had told him this at the beginning, if he had listened to it, he would have been able to investigate the news about the Tang army carefully and then formulate a series of practical plans. Only in this way could he defeat the Tang army and win.
Unfortunately, some things were not as good as he thought. Even if he started to pay attention at that time, he might not be able to win now.
Muhammad heard a commotion in front of the military camp. It turned out that the fire was extinguished. But it was not necessarily a good thing for them, because the artillery fire of the Tang army began to extend, and the musketeers on the left, after they organized their troops, began to slowly approach the main camp. As for the spoils on the battlefield, they didn't even look at them. This was completely different from the Arab Empire. After the Arab Empire's army finished fighting, the first thing they wanted to see was the spoils. (End of this chapter)
