Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 300 Fierce Battle

Although it was a surprise attack and the front and rear troops were in chaos, Yang Chaozong remained calm when he saw the [-] elite warriors waiting around him.

You must know that these most primitive elites of Youzhou's hundred battles followed 'Your Majesty' all the year round in field battles with the Xi clan and Khitan cavalry, and their combat power did not belong to any elite in the world.

At the beginning, "Your Majesty" only gave him [-] elites, and he swept Hua, Chi, Hao, all states, and his soldiers once grew to [-].

Li Fei's more than 1000 Anton cavalry rushed into the middle of the rebel army in an instant, and the outermost [-] ordinary rebel soldiers were killed and injured, and they fell into chaos.

Almost instantly, the four thousand or so rebel soldiers collapsed.

"Kill!" Yang Chaozong ordered indifferently, those ordinary anti-army soldiers who had collapsed, whoever dared to flee to his [-]-strong elite army, were beheaded mercilessly.

"Shoot!" Following Yang Chaozong's order, the [-] elite anti-army troops shot a rain of arrows.

"Pfft! Pfft!" Not only some Anton Iron Knights were hit by arrows, but even more ordinary anti-army soldiers who had collapsed were hit by arrows. After all, their armor was far less powerful than that of Anton Iron Knights.

In order to ensure that the battle formation composed of [-] battle elites would not be disturbed, Yang Chaozong shot and killed his own people regardless, and finally frightened the ordinary anti-army soldiers who were collapsing and fleeing. No one dared to attack Yang Chaozong's attack. Six thousand troops.

Li Fei stared at the tight formation of [-] elite anti-army soldiers where Yang Chaozong was, and couldn't help frowning, feeling rather tricky.

Mo Dao, shields, bows and crossbows, the excellent equipment of the original Tang Mo Dao formation, these [-] anti-army elites are all available, or this is a Mo Dao formation.

The Anton Dufu Mansion has its own Modao Formation, and Li Fei is well aware of the power of the Modao Formation.

Although he doesn't think that the Modao formation composed of only 1000 anti-army elites can really defeat his more than [-] Anton cavalry, but if he attacks by force, he may be able to wipe out the Modao formation in the end. With [-] anti-military elites, the casualties of his Anton cavalry will definitely be very heavy, which is not what Li Fei wants to see.

It is not advisable to directly forcibly break the formation with too many casualties. However, Li Fei also has experience in dealing with the Modao formation. Direct head-to-head confrontation, but to use the range and power of the god-armed crossbow to compete with the 1 anti-army elites who formed the Modao formation, gradually eating away and killing the anti-army soldiers in the Modao formation.

"ShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh))) and shot out the arrows from the crossbows.

Yang Chaozong's Six Thousand Modao Formation had the same experience as Jia Xun's Modao Formation that guarded Youzhou. The shields in their hands were designed according to the Tang-style bows and arrows, which are the most sophisticated bows and arrows in the world today. , Datang's own standard bows and arrows can't shoot through shields, the bows and arrows of those nomadic cavalry, and even the bows and arrows of the Arab Empire are naturally impossible to shoot through.

However, when faced with the most powerful bow and crossbow weapon in the cold weapon era, the god arm crossbow, the shield's protection, which is more than enough to withstand the Tang standard bow and arrow, appears insufficient.

"Pfft!" Many arrows from the god arm crossbow directly penetrated the shield, killing the rebel soldiers behind the shield.

"Thump, thump, thump——" An Dong's iron knights rode their horses around Yang Chaozong's [-] elite anti-army Modao formation, and kept shooting arrows out with the god-armed crossbow.

There was a continuous rain of god arm crossbow arrows, and at every moment, many arrows from the god arm crossbow directly penetrated the shield, shooting and killing the rebel soldiers behind.Dozens of anti-army soldiers fell from arrows every moment.

Although the anti-army archers in the Modao formation also fought back, shooting and killing some Anton iron knight soldiers.

However, the armor of Anton's iron knight soldiers was replaced with steel armor, which greatly shortened the distance of being pierced. If facing ordinary iron armor, the anti-army's bow and arrow can penetrate within 60 meters, then facing Anton The steel armor of the iron cavalry can't break the armor at all unless it is within 30 meters.

Therefore, the casualties of Anton's cavalry were far less than that of the elite anti-army soldiers who formed the Modao formation.

"Why is the bow and crossbow of this Tang army's iron cavalry so powerful!" In the anti-army Modao formation, Yang Chaozong was as frightened as Jia Xun was back then, and he was not as calm as before.

Because he knew that if things continued like this, let alone defeating this Tang cavalry, he would lose his entire army and lose his life.

Seeing that his own shield could not stop the arrows shot by Anton's iron cavalry, not only Yang Chaozong was shocked and horrified, but also the elite anti-army soldiers were also terrified.

"Attack!" Yang Chaozong knew that he could no longer stand still and let the opponent attack, so he ordered the Modao formation to take the initiative to attack. Anyway, he was only developed from the elite of [-] warriors at the beginning. As long as the elite of warriors around him can be kept, he can develop again at any time in the future.

Li Fei saw Yang Chaozong's plan, how could he let him break out.

Seeing that the anti-army soldiers in the Mo Dao formation had begun to feel turbulent and confused, Li Fei sneered.

"Shock the thunder!" Li Fei ordered to use the big killer.

The so-called "Shocking Thunder" is Li Fei's improvement from "Big Firecracker".The big firecrackers in the past were nothing more than black powder rolled up with paper. They were the same as the firecrackers of the later generations, only much larger and with very limited power. Basically, they could not directly kill people. War horses against enemy cavalry.

The 'Shocking Thunder' has been improved and is similar to the grenade of later generations, but it weighs more than twice as much as the grenade of later generations, and its power is also much smaller.

Of course, the power of this grenade is much smaller than that of later generations, but in this Tang Dynasty, it is definitely an extremely powerful 'big killer'.

I saw some Anton iron knight soldiers take out a black iron lump with a wooden handle and a fuze from the package on the side of the horse. Into the anti-army Modao formation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom—" There were bursts of violent explosions, and clusters of flames and thick smoke appeared.

The anti-army soldiers in the Mo Dao formation were dense, and the blazing waves blasted by the shocking thunder directly knocked down the anti-army soldiers in pieces.And the iron pieces blasted by Jing Tianlei were like sharp blades, breaking through the armor of the rebel soldiers in an instant, splashing bloody flowers.

The screams of countless anti-army soldiers, mixed with panic and fear of the unknown, were so shrill that everyone who heard them shuddered.
