Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 138 The Battle of Constant Rose ([-])

The total strength of the Han army in the four towns of Anxi is no more than 4000. Gao Xianzhi suffered some casualties when he fought in Shiguo, and the number of supplements is not complete. In addition, the four towns also need some Han soldiers to stay behind. People, plus the two vassal states of Khanna, the joint army supported by Ge Luolu is only 8000 people.

But Gao Xianzhi is very arrogant, or in other words, has extraordinary confidence in the strength of Datang and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Tang Army under his command.

Defeating the small Bolu and Tubo allied forces, destroying the small Bolu country, destroying the Shi country, and conquering many other small countries in Central Asia. Whenever Gao Xianzhi led the Tang army under his command, he did not attack more with less, and which time was not a big victory. Even if he did not win, at least he could Get out of the body, Megatron throughout Central Asia.

Because of his self-confidence, Gao Xianzhi led the 16 Tang Fan allied forces and dared to fight head-to-head with the [-] Arab allied forces in the area of ​​the Heng Ross River.

In Talas, the confrontation between the two armies was only a few hundred meters away. On one side was the Arab army mainly in black and black chess, and on the other was the Tang army and the allied forces of the vassal states mainly composed of red, yellow and gray fish scale armor.

As for the Tang army, not only is Gao Xianzhi the self-confidence of the coach, but ordinary Tang army soldiers are also full of self-confidence. They follow Gao Xianzhi to destroy other countries repeatedly. It shows that this comes from the top-down self-confidence of the powerful Tang Dynasty.

If Gao Xianzhi, the commander of the Tang Army, is so confident, then Abmus, the commander of the Arab Army, is even more confident.

Abu Musi had participated in decades of wars with the Byzantine Empire, and also participated in the battle to capture North Africa. He was also the one who led the Arab reinforcements to repel Gao Xianzhi in the Stone Country last time.

Abmus was a famous general under the command of the Arab emperor.

Not to mention that the 16 Arab coalition forces under his command are four times stronger than Gao Xianzhi's 12 Tang feudal coalition forces, but the [-] religious fighters in his coalition army are the core and most elite force of their Arab empire. Soldiers are not afraid of death and are ready to dedicate themselves to the truth at any time. Their fighting power is terrifying. Back then, [-] religious fighters defeated [-] elites of the Persian Empire. The Persian Empire was destroyed by them, and the Byzantine Empire was defeated by them. Even if they are retreating steadily, Datang will definitely not be their opponent.

"Kill!" Gao Xianzhi ordered Tang Jun to attack.

The general ratio of infantry and cavalry in the Tang army is ten to one. The four towns of Anxi can obtain war horses by themselves because they manage more nomadic people around them, and the ratio of infantry and cavalry is three to one.If it is not necessary for infantry to form the Modao formation, the Tang army in the four towns of Anxi can completely form a full-scale cavalry.

1 infantry are located in the center, and the soldiers are all holding Mo Dao and carrying bows and crossbows, advancing forward like a wall.

Six thousand cavalry galloped out from the two wings. Each of the cavalry held a two-meter-long horse lance, a horizontal knife at the waist, and a bow and crossbow on their backs. The moment they rushed out, it was like a sharp sword unsheathed.

There were 2 Bahana, and most of Ge Luolufan's army was cavalry, and there were only more than 4000 infantrymen from Bahana, forming a team of their own.

"Warriors who are not afraid of death, for the truth and for the true God to shine in the world, kill!" The commander of the Arab army Abu Mus also ordered the Arab coalition forces to charge and kill.

12 brave and fearless religious fighters are located in the center, holding shields and scimitars, and [-] other troops are uneven, including infantry and cavalry, weapons are also uneven, and they are also divided into two wings.

The cavalry on the two wings of the armies of both sides entered the engagement distance first.

"XuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuNot only the quality of weapons and armor of the Tang army far surpassed that of the Arab army, but also the range and power of the crossbow far surpassed that of the Arab army, so the cavalry of the Tang army were able to shoot a round of arrows first.

The Arab cavalry who rushed over from the opposite side immediately turned on their backs, causing many casualties.

The Arab cavalry also bent their bows and set arrows to fight back, but their cavalry formation was chaotic, and the second round of arrow rain from the Tang cavalry also came.Under the two rounds of arrow rain from the Tang army, even if there were more Arab cavalry, the arrow rain they could shoot was very sparse. Moreover, everyone in the Tang army cavalry had excellent armor, which blocked most of the power of the arrows, and those who fell from the horse were shot Very few, the formation is not chaotic at all.

In addition, when the Arab cavalry counterattacked, the cavalry of the two vassal states of Bahana and Ge Luolu also shot arrows at the Arab cavalry. After two blows, the formation of the Arab cavalry was very chaotic.

The cavalry was very fast. The Tang cavalry had two rounds of arrow rain, and the Arabian cavalry had one round of arrow rain. The two sides had already killed each other.

"Pfft! Pfft——" The two-meter-long horse spear pierced the Arab cavalry's body and took them all off the horseback.

The cavalry of the Tang army had bows and crossbows far away, horse spears for sprinting, horizontal knives for close combat, and they wore the best fish scale armor.

The so-called contemporary super empire, the Tang Dynasty is the most worthy of the name, and the most direct expression is in the equipment. Whether it is a Mo knife, a horizontal knife, or a fish scale armor, they are all expensive products, and only the Tang army that has been strong since Tang Taizong Li Shimin able to afford it.

Comparing the scimitar of the Arab Empire with the Modao Hengdao of the Tang Dynasty, it is like the kitchen knife and saber of later generations. What a big gap!

The horse spears or horizontal knives of the cavalry of the Tang Army kept beheading the Arab cavalry under the horses.The sharpness of the horizontal knife can even cut the entire Arab cavalry in half, and its power is extremely scary.

The scimitars of the Arab cavalry can also cut on the Tang cavalry, but they are often blocked by the armor. When the Arab cavalry cuts through the armor of the Tang cavalry and cuts the Tang cavalry off the horse, they often have paid several times their own casualties.

There were far more Arab cavalry who fell on the battlefield and were trampled into meat paste by horseshoes than Tang cavalry.

With 6000 cavalry of the Tang Army, and with the addition of Bahanna, the Allied Forces of the Ge Luolu Kingdom could fight against the 3 Arab Allied Forces with less than 12. The main reason is the fierce combat effectiveness of the [-] Tang Army Cavalry.

In the middle battlefield, the 1-strong Tang Army's Modao formation is about to fight with the 4 Arab religious fighters. This is the main force of both sides, and the coaches of both sides are directly in command.

The two sides also had a few rounds of arrow rain first.

"Shhhhhhhhh——" Tang Jun, who was still in the Modao formation, shot a few rounds first. The advanced crossbow of Tang Jun is not only reflected in the range, but also in the arrows. The arrowheads of Tang Jun's arrows are all made of fine steel. The penetration is amazing.

The infantry formations often have shields, and the Arab religious fighters raised their shields to resist the incoming arrow rain.

Although the shield is like a wall, it also has many gaps. Arrows shot through the gaps. Some Arab religious fighters fell down from the arrows. Some arrows even directly penetrated the shields of the Arab religious fighters and shot the soldiers holding the shields to death. , leaving many gaps in the dense military formation.

After several rounds of Tang Jun's Modao formation, the bows and arrows in the hands of the Arab religious fighters also reached the range, and the two sides began to shoot at each other.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——" the arrows from the Arab religious fighters are undoubtedly more. After all, their number is more than three times that of the Tang army's Modao formation.
