Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 697 Lure the enemy to go deep (2)

Since the rise of the Dashi Empire, it has been fighting endlessly with the Eastern Roman Empire. Its armaments are deeply influenced by the Eastern Roman Empire, whether it is heavy infantry or cavalry, especially the infantry, which is almost the same as the Eastern Roman Empire. There is a slight difference in the army, mainly reflected in the proportion of light cavalry - the cavalry of the Eastern Roman Empire mainly consisted of heavy cavalry, while the Dashi Empire focused on light cavalry, but they were also equipped with a certain number of armored cavalry , at this moment, the front three ranks of the Dashi Third Route Army that launched the charge were all heavy armored cavalry, [-] feet of lances stood upright like a forest. Coupled with a tall Arabian horse, when they sprint, its majesty is really as dignified as a mountain.

"Fire arrows!"

As for the heavy cavalry, Li He had heard about it for a long time, and he also knew how sharp these heavy cavalry were in charging, but he didn't take it to heart, because he knew very well the penetrating power of the short crossbow in Tang Jun's hands How strong it is is definitely not something that the seemingly thick armor of the Arabian heavy cavalry can withstand. However, to be on the safe side, Li He did not order the arrow to be released at around eighty paces as usual, but galloped to the Less than fifty paces away from the center forward of the Dashi Cavalry Army, the general order was issued just now.

"Send the arrow, release the arrow!"

At the same time as Li He gave the order, a Dashi general galloping at the front and back of the enemy army roared at the same time, ordering the Qingqi in the back row who had been on standby for a long time to launch an offensive of arrow rain.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

As the commanders of the two armies shouted orders, the cavalry of the two armies shot their bows almost simultaneously, but the sound of explosions could not be heard, and two dark clouds rose from their respective arrays, covering each other like locusts. The difference is that although the Tang army has few soldiers, the arrows they shoot out are overwhelming. The dark cloud formed by [-] steel arrows is more than seven times larger than that of the Dashi cavalry army, and the speed is faster. It was several times the feather arrows shot by the Great Food Cavalry Army. Before the Great Food Cavalry Army could react, it had already slammed into the formation of the Great Food Cavalry Army, and immediately aroused a burst of miserable howls Not only the heavy cavalry in the first three rows fell off their horses, but also the light cavalry behind the heavy cavalry were not spared. The phalanx formed by six thousand cavalry was torn apart in an instant. , it's difficult to form an array.

The Tang soldiers were all old-fashioned and clever people. Once they fired the crossbow arrows, they didn't need orders at all. They all raised the round shields hanging from the saddles in unison, and quickly formed a shield formation to block the attack. The rain of arrows thrown by the Dashi cavalry, even though dozens of cavalry were hit by the arrows, but they really fell off the horse, but there were only a few dozen cavalry, which had little effect on the overall formation of the Tang army, and the speed of the sprint had never been improved. After a bit of slowing down, within a few breaths, he had rushed to the distance of less than twenty steps from the chaotic Great Food Cavalry.

"Raise the knife, line up, and kill!"

The battle opportunity has been revealed, and Li He will not miss it easily. With a roar, he led his troops into the panic-stricken cavalry formation of the Dashi Central Route Army like sharp knives. With just one sprint, he pierced through without any resistance. In the enemy line, the corpses of the cavalry army in Dashi Middle Road were killed all over the field. Nearly half of the 6000 men and horses fell down.

"Damn it, order: the left and right wings attack together, and the guards press forward!"

When Muhammad Suben Hussein was listening to the battle report, he hadn't noticed the power of the Tang army's crossbow. At this time, when he saw his army in the middle, he collapsed instantly. How could he not know that he was inadvertently captured by Jiya De Ben Salissa was gloomy, and he was anxious and angry in his heart. He glared at Giyad Ben Salissa bitterly, but he couldn't react to it on the spot, so he could only be gloomy He roared and gave the order for a joint attack. In addition to ordering the two wings to speed up the joint attack, he also personally led the reserve team to start pressing forward. However, he did not launch the charge immediately, but wanted to see if the left and right wings could trap the Tang army. .

"Turn left, get ready!"

Battlefield observation is a must-have quality for a general, and Li He is obviously a master among them. Although the battlefield is full of smoke and dust, Li He has only glanced at it, and he has judged that the enemy from the left wing is faster than the enemy from the right. If you want to slow down a bit, you will immediately have a calculation in your heart, and you dare not delay a little, so you hurriedly roared, twisted the horse's head, led your troops to make a sharp circle, and rushed towards the enemy on the left. Seeing this, all the generals and soldiers of the Tang army dared not neglect them, and maneuvered to the left one after another. While turning, they quickly stretched out their left hands, and took the loaded firecrackers from the holster around their waists. The muzzles of the black holes aimed at the oncoming enemy.

"Fire the arrow, let the arrow go!"

The enemy's left wing came extremely fast, and the Tang army had just adjusted its formation when the Dashi left-wing cavalry had rushed to a distance of less than thirty steps from the Tang army. The cavalry drew their bows in unison, ready to baptize the Tang army with a rain of arrows. At the same time, the heavy cavalry in the first three rows also lowered their bodies one after another, and rows of cavalry spears came out like a forest. The momentum rushed towards the Tang army array like a rainbow.

"Fire!"

Before the archers of the Dashi Cavalry could make a move, Li He roared first, and the well-trained Tang soldiers pulled the triggers of their firecrackers one after another.

"Boom, bang..."

Amidst bursts of loud bangs, gunpowder smoke billowed up, and three thousand bullets whizzed out, forming an extremely thick barrage wall, sweeping the entire forward of the Cavalry Army to the ground in just a split second. The seemingly thick armor of the poor Dashi heavy cavalry is really not much better than paper paste in front of the high-speed flying bullets. The army fell into chaos in an instant.

"Kill, penetrate the enemy formation!"

Taking advantage of the chaos in the enemy army, Li He raised the horizontal knife in his hand and roared wildly. A horse speeded up and crashed into the enemy's formation like a sharp arrow. Under the wild knife, there was nothing in his hand. Wherever a united enemy passes by, waves of blood fly, people and horses rush to the ground, its appearance is too horrible to look at!
"The Great Tang is mighty, the Great Tang is mighty!"

Seeing how brave their master is, the already high morale of the Tang soldiers was not to be outdone. They yelled their battle horns in unison and killed the Dashi cavalry soldiers like a tiger entering a flock. The formation of the Dashi cavalry has been torn apart like a knife cutting butter. So far, the left wing of the Dashi has almost no fighting power at all.

"Pro-Guard, come with me, kill!"

Seeing that the middle and left cavalry were defeated by the Tang army in just one encounter, Mohammad Subbn Hussein immediately became red-eyed, and then saw that his right wing was blocked by his own soldiers, and his speed increased dramatically. Affected, even though he was desperately trying to catch up with the column of the Tang army sweeping across the square, how could he hold his breath, roared, and led the guards to sprint at high speed, trying to forcibly block the Tang army's way .

"The whole army listens to the order, follow me, and Hugh leaves the Tang people!"

Jiyad bin Salissa has a small mind, and he suffered a disadvantage. He wished that Mohammad Subbn Hussain would also be unlucky. When Hussein's troops were defeated and lost, he did not dare to sit idly by. Seeing Mohammad Subbn Hussein leading his troops to the left-wing battlefield, Jiyad bin Saha Lisa came to his spirits and made up his mind to grab some credit, so he roared and led the remnant troops to kill from the right, trying to catch the Tang army from the rear.

"withdraw!"

Li He is brave and ruthless by nature, but he is not reckless. Although he is eager to fight, he will not forget his own mission. Seeing the enemy's frenzied attack, he refuses to fight any more, and once defeated After defeating the left-wing cavalry army, he immediately roared, and led his troops to the southeast, rushing out without looking.

"Hugh left Tang Ren, chase after him, kill, kill!"

Mohammad Subbn Hussein's troops were attacking from the front. Although they were relatively close to the Tang army, they could not increase their speed due to the trouble of their own defeated soldiers. They could only watch helplessly as the Tang army smashed through the chaos And go, and although Giyadh bin Salissa's troops were walking around the outside of the battlefield, a little farther away from the Tang army's column, but with no hindrance all the way, the advancing speed was astonishingly fast, and the Tang army just rushed out. On the battlefield, he had already led his troops to the battlefield. Seeing that Tang Jun was about to leave, he refused to let him go. He yelled and led his troops to chase after him.

"Damn it, Salisa, you bastard! Hurry up, send a message to the governor, and the whole army will follow immediately!"

Seeing that the Tang army was about to leave, Muhammad Subbn Hussain did not intend to fight again, but when he saw that Giyad bin Salissa followed him regardless, fearing that he would be plotted against again, He could only curse angrily, and without caring about cleaning the battlefield, he led his troops to follow behind Giyad bin Salissa's troops, chasing Tang Jun madly all the way.

In terms of riding skills, the Tang Army based on the Hehuang Army is naturally better than the Dashi Cavalry Army, but when it comes to the quality of the horses under the crotch, it is not as good. In terms of horsepower, both sides are already After rushing for a long time, no one can take advantage of it. After chasing and fleeing, Tang Jun was unable to get rid of the title of the Dashi Cavalry and chased him. In contrast, because the Tang army shot from behind, even though the short crossbow was more powerful than the horse bow of the Dashi army, it still suffered a lot. Along the way, dozens of soldiers were blood-stained in the yellow sand, but they really had The danger of being driven by the big food army to herd sheep.

"Chasing, chasing, killing all Tang people!"

Seeing that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were in a state of distress, Giyadh ben Salisak came to his senses. He was focused on trying to win back the city, and chased after him with his troops, as if he didn't intend to give the Tang army a break. Given this opportunity, the situation of the battle was extremely unfavorable for Li He's troops.
