Chapter one thousand and fifty-six

"Kill!"

In all directions, countless knives and axes were densely packed, flashing with cold light under the sky, and at the same time they continued to slash down at an alarming speed. In the face of such an astonishing reaction and tacit cooperation, even the Red Moon Pioneer who performed the Blood Leap couldn't help but change his face slightly.

As the vanguard of the Great Eclipse God of War, Qu Dibo, they have encountered many strong opponents, but no matter how powerful, they can often create considerable chaos in the opposing army's formation, creating opportunities for the large army in the rear. But these Tang people from the East were very different from any opponent they had ever faced before.

Although the war horse rushed through the defense line, it was surrounded in less than a second, and it was unable to exert the power of the charge, and this situation was not even thought of, let alone encountered.

Qiang Qiang, sword light and sword shadows, axe marks are heavy, just in an instant, the Red Moon Pioneer who rushed into the military formation fought with more than a dozen sword and axe soldiers. The scarlet scimitar cut sharp blood marks in the void, and slammed into the surrounding axes. In the sound of gold and iron, a huge knife and axe was touched by the Red Moon Scimitar, and immediately cut huge gaps in the blade, and even the heavy armor on the knife axe hand was split, and blood splashed.

Several knife and axe men retreated directly and seriously injured under the attack of the Red Moon Scimitar. However, the Red Moon Vanguard was also attacked by everyone, and they fell to the ground and died one after another.

Seeing this scene, under the flaming Hell Fire Battle Banner, dressed in golden armor, shrouded in golden light, Qu Dibo, the god-like War Governor, couldn't help frowning slightly, but he didn't say anything. At the same time, in the distant place, Wang Chong also jumped out of the corner of his eye.

In this contact battle, he did not intervene, but kept observing. This army in the Great Northern Theater of Operations was even more powerful than he had imagined. Their attacks, their ability to break defenses, and their ferocity have reached an astonishing level. There is no doubt that this will probably be the biggest test for Datang.

"My lord, do you need to send out a Mo Dao team?"

A voice came from his ears, and Xi Yuanqing, the No. 3 person in the Anxi Protector Army, stopped beside Wang Chong on horseback and suddenly spoke. The attacks of the Great Cannibal came in waves, like a tide, and they were extremely powerful, and the Red Moon Pioneer was just a microcosm of it, which made everyone, including Cheng Qianli and Xi Yuanqing, feel a huge pressure.

This situation was not found in the first phase of the battle.

"No!"

Wang Chong shook his head, his gaze was as calm as water, without the slightest fluctuation:

"Now is not the time to use the Mo Dao team, notify the army of the big and small Bolu, as well as the front column, ready to attack! In addition, notify the shield soldiers of the second column to be ready to step forward to replace them at any time, and the shield soldiers of the third column are ready to be on standby at any time! At this time, it is mainly to consume their sharp energy, and it is not appropriate to have too many large-scale battles with them!"

"Yes!"

A look of respect flashed in Xi Yuanqing's eyes, and he quickly took the order. After defeating the Great Eclipse's giant beast army, Wang Chong's reputation among the Anxi Protectors is now in full swing, and he is not below Gao Xianzhi at all, and the Anxi Protectors are from top to bottom, even Gao Xianzhi, who is the protector of the Great Capital, has great respect for him, not to mention others.

The air flow was surging, the wind was whistling, Wang Chong looked at the vast sea opposite, the endless cannibals, and his eyes fluctuated slightly.

The art of war is not only a change in battlefield tactics, but also a change in strategy.

The number of cannibal armies is too many, and sometimes it's not just the quality, but when the quantity reaches a certain level, it can also bring great pressure. And the big cannibals marched all the way day and night, and came with the momentum, it was the time when the momentum was at its highest, at this time, it was not appropriate to fight them-for-tat, but should focus on holding each other, take the initiative to defend, and in the long-term tug-of-war, the opponent's sharpness was worn to the minimum, "one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion", this is the truth!

Wang Chong drew the elite from the Anxi capital to form the third column of shield soldiers, which was established to implement this strategy.

"Buzz!"

With a move of his gaze, Wang Chong quickly came back to his senses and looked ahead. There, the armor shook and roared, and Wang Chong's order was quickly carried out.

"Put!"

There was an earth-shattering sound, and just in front of the army, an infantry man with a straight body suddenly pulled the bracket on the city wall. Boom, at the moment of pulling, the earth roared, the air roared, and the steel wall, which originally seemed to be ordinary, but only a defensive function, suddenly revealed countless holes, and hundreds of thousands of arrows suddenly burst out from behind the first steel defense line.

Beehive!

Although the wall had long been equipped with this kind of dense fire-gathering weapon, Wang Chong did not use it until the Great Cannibal rushed to the front of the city wall, and then suddenly burst out.

The Great Cannibals were different from any previous opponents, their forging skills were stronger than any previous opponents, and in some respects, the level of steel precision forging even surpassed that of the Great Tang.

The beehive has a short range, far less powerful than a crossbow, and the farther it is, the less powerful it is. Therefore, Wang Chong especially learned a lesson, and when the big cannibal charged, he did not use any beehives at all. Until the Great Eclipse and the Great Tang Dynasty met each other, in front of the long first steel defense line, all of them were like mountains and seas of cannibals, they were almost close to the beehive face on the steel city wall, without the slightest gap, this distance was the time when the beehive was the most powerful, and it was only at this time that Wang Chong used this king of short-range weapons.

Bang bang bang!

In just the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of arrows immediately frantically shot at the front of the big eater. Each horse was subjected to a dense concentration of at least forty or fifty powerful crossbows. At such a short distance, even iron and stone can shoot away, let alone war horses.

Xi Yuyu, just for a moment, the sound of thudding and the sound of war horses falling to the ground was endless, and in front of the entire steel wall, patches of large iron horsemen fell to the ground in unison. In less than a few breaths, the corpses of the great cannibals in front of the wall of steel accumulated like a mountain, and the blood soaked the entire land.

"Boom!"

Seeing this scene, the rear of the Great Food Army, the crowd was in an uproar. When hundreds of thousands of arrows roared out, everyone was stunned.

"This, how is this possible?"

"How could the East have such a terrifying weapon!"

"It's incredible, what the hell is that!"

......

All the Great Eclipse troops who were sweeping in the rear were shocked one by one. The appearance of that weapon was so sudden that no one had ever encountered it. The sophistication of this oriental crossbow shot from the wall of steel was beyond imagination, and for the first time made these arrogant, conceited warriors feel a strong sense of mystery.

Although the forging technique of the Great Food is very high, it has never forged such a powerful lethal weapon.

In this Eastern Crusade, the Great Food soldiers transferred from other war zones originally had some contempt for this so-called Eastern World and the so-called Tang Dynasty, and had a kind of high-minded mentality, but after seeing these things, a little arrogance in everyone's hearts also dissipated. No matter what the truth of these Datang people is, at least one thing is certain-

These "Tang people" of Talas are definitely a fierce opponent and should not be underestimated.

"How is it possible, Abmuth/Lin, why didn't your previous intelligence mention this?"

Flying high under the black Nile battle flag, Osman, the governor of Cairo, finally couldn't help it.

Abmus/Lin didn't speak, but Ziad next to him showed a slightly embarrassed look, in fact, all this information about Datang had been told to them in the previous letters, but whether it was Osman, Ai Yibek, or Qu Dibo, they were all too conceited or arrogant, so they didn't look carefully.

After all, these governors had never fought against the Tang Dynasty, and no matter how detailed they were in their letters, they were always as real as their personal experience.

On the other side, seeing the reaction of the two, Osman was stunned at first, but quickly reacted, and was speechless for a moment.

"No matter how strong the weapon is, it can't replace the role of the soldiers, but with only 60,000 soldiers and horses, send more troops to press over, I don't believe they can make much waves. ”

A voice came from behind, and Aybek spoke.

Da Shi has never been a country that cherishes the lives of soldiers, as long as it can achieve its goal and conquer these Tang people, even if more soldiers die, it is not a big deal. Neither Aybek, Osman, nor Abmuth/Lin are the kind of generals who love their soldiers, which is very different from Middle-earth.

The Battle of Khorasan, the capture of the remnants of the Sassanid Dynasty, the Great Eclipse paid a huge price, but the three of them, as the commanders at the time, did not hesitate at all. The three of them didn't even frown.

"Kill!"

Aiybek's order was quickly executed, and the four managers did not hesitate without any hesitation, and the vast sea of food troops roared and pressed down again. More soldiers rushed towards the first line of steel defense.

Boom, the earth shook, the mountains shook, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing were surging, becoming the only sound in the sky over the entire Talas. Despite the terrifying power of the beehives, they were far from significant to the Great Food Army, which had more than 400,000 soldiers.

Bang bang bang, countless soldiers of the Great Eclipse resisted the attack of the beehives and rushed forward, not only that, but among the soldiers and horses of the Great Eclipse, a team of iron horsemen reacted quickly.

I heard a loud bang, and the corpse of a large cannibal who had been shot on the ground was suddenly picked up by the iron rider behind and smashed into the spikes of the steel wall.

One, two, three, four...... Countless corpses were smashed against the steel wall at the same time, used to block the beehive's attack. The corpses of these soldiers and the armor on their bodies at this time became another invisible "shield", a means of fighting beehives.
