Chapter 875: Great Eclipse, Defeat! (1)
Chapter 875
7th Infantry Phalanx, 9th Infantry Phalanx, 10th Infantry Phalanx...... , which was the most elite infantry trained by Umar, and was also Umar's personal guard. On the battlefield, they also have another function, which is to undertake the task of attacking fortifications on the battlefield. The Great Cannibal dominates the world with cavalry, but the Great Cannibal will also study ways to restrain cavalry.
Because of the possession of cavalry, it is not only the great cannibals who train cavalry!
The 7th Infantry Phalanx, the 9th Infantry Phalanx, and the 10th Infantry Phalanx are the elites specially selected by Umar, and on the battlefield, they have killed the elite forces of unknown enemy countries, including cavalry and infantry.
The army was moving, and it was a rapid rotation, an invisible web of death, flying from all directions with five thousand black-wounded iron horsemen, but it was far from over. As a generation of famous generals, Umar is far from being as simple as defense-
"The Thirtieth Cavalry Array, the Thirty-third Cavalry Array, the Fortieth Cavalry Array, the Fiftieth Cavalry Array, the Eightieth Cavalry Array...... Attack with all your might, crush their left and right flanks, and completely crush them!"
Umar's gaze was cold and ruthless, and he quickly locked on the position of the left and right wings of the hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from the west.
"Avoiding the real and attacking the false" is not a truth that only the Tang people in Middle-earth understand. The Great Cannibal may not have so many art of war, but Umar has long understood the simple truth that he has explored in actual combat through continuous bloody battles. This iron cavalry of the Tang people is indeed very powerful, but it is not necessarily the case with all Tang armies.
As long as they avoid the real and attack the weak, bypass this Tang Iron Cavalry, and defeat the main force in their rear, then in the end, no matter how strong this Tang army is, in the end, it is still the Great Eclipse who wins.
Not only that, although the Tang people on the opposite side were overwhelming and numerous, for Umar, all he needed was to gain time strategically. On the battlefield of Talas, more than 300,000 Da * Rui troops were gathered, no matter how many Da Tang * troops there were on the opposite side, in the end, when the 300,000 troops gained enough buffer time, they turned around, and what was waiting for these 100,000 Da * troops was still a dead end.
"Boom!"
The earth roared, trembling like chaff, and as soon as Umar's voice fell, behind the Great Eclipse camp, the last 15,000 Great Eclipse Iron Horsemen divided into two camps, one on the left and one on the right, and galloped out from behind the tall shield wall, charging away like two black storms. Black auras vibrated and roared under their feet, and the fifteen-thousand-eater Iron Riders were like divine speeds, and their speed reached the extreme in just a short moment.
Three hundred zhang, in a flash!
This time, the 15,000 men and horses perfectly bypassed the black wounded iron cavalry, and also bypassed Sun Zhiming and Chen Bu to let them, and rushed straight to the camp of the Qixi army in the rear.
Infantry!
In front of the iron horsemen who charge with all their might, they are always just lambs to the slaughter. In the history of cavalry versus infantry, infantry has been able to win very few times. A heavily armed iron cavalry can crush five, six, or even ten times as many infantry troops. And the Great Cannibal, as the most ferocious iron horseman, destroys an infantry opponent who is even more incomprehensible.
"Kill them!"
"Destroy their formation, tear them apart completely!"
"Kill these heretics for the sake of the Great Eat!"
......
The horse's hooves were heavy, rumbling like thunder, and more than 15,000 iron-eating horses stepped on the black halo, majestic, and rushed towards the big * side behind. One hundred and fifty zhang, one hundred zhang, fifty zhang...... As the distance got closer, they could even see the soldiers on the personnel carriers coming to a halt in a hurry and quickly arranging their formation.
However, it was too late. This kind of reaction is of no use at all in the face of the battle-hardened and thunder-fast Iron Eater.
"Kill them allββ"
A hideous roar resounded through the heavens and the earth, and more than 15,000 iron-eating horsemen launched a final charge and shot away.
"Prepare ββ"
And almost at the same time, a loud voice resounded across the earth, and in the Datang camp opposite, silver-white cars suddenly pushed out, and next to each car, there were at least five Datang foot soldiers. And in front of these foot soldiers, Chen Bin pulled out the Uzi steel sword on his waist, raised the long sword high, and pointed ahead.
His gaze was grim, his body was straight, and the palm of his sword held did not move at all, as if it were frozen there.
Forty zhang!
Thirty zhang!
"Launch!"
At the last moment, the long sword in Chen Bin's hand swung down suddenly. With Chen Bin's order, hundreds of small cars in the camp of the army suddenly started. Boom, boom, at that moment, the heavens and the earth were silent, and everyone heard a thunderous roar in their ears, which was the note of death.
The next moment, in the eyes of countless people, the crossbow arrows that were more than one zhang long, extremely thick, and the surface was engraved with inscriptions trembled, like a waterfall rain, and suddenly shot out from those small carts.
"Be careful!"
"It's a crossbow bolt!"
Seeing these crossbow arrows, the eyes of the big iron rider who rushed to the front widened, the whole person's breathing was about to stagnate, and a strong sense of terror enveloped everyone like a tide, and a famous iron rider pulled the reins hard to stop, but it was too late.
Boom, in the fierce neighing of the horse, a thick crossbow arrow instantly pierced through the front of a large food war horse, followed by the second and third war horses...... , These world-famous war horses, each of them is wrapped in thick armor, and ordinary bows and arrows can't shoot through at all, but in front of the most powerful crossbow arrows in the Tang Dynasty, they are like paper paste, and they are of no use at all.
Boom! Boom!
Hundreds of crossbow arrows shot out, each of which pierced at least four or five Great Iron Horsemen, and some even shot through seven or eight Iron Horsemen in a straight line. The sound of hissing was incessant, and in just a flash, the Great Cannibal had lost at least five or six thousand men.
Under the action of great inertia, even if these big iron-eating horses were hit by arrows, they still rushed forward, sliding on the ground for a long distance, and even rushed to the front row of ballistas, but these people were already dead.
"Put!"
Chen Bin's eyes were fixed, always staring at the big iron horse on the opposite side, and the Uzi steel long sword in his hand suddenly swung down again, boom, in the monstrous smoke and dust, the second wave of arrow rain burst out again.
"Put!"
A third rain of arrows followed, each of which resembled the scythe of death, each aimed at a great iron-eating horseman. After three rounds of arrow rain, the fate of these 15,000 Great Food Iron Riders was completely laid. On the huge battlefield, there were corpses of war horses and great eaters everywhere.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves and the earth-shattering shouts of slaughter disappeared without a trace in an instant after three rounds of arrow rain. Blood flowed everywhere on the ground, and the gurgling sound was clearly audible.
Quiescence!
For a moment, there was a dead silence on the entire battlefield, and it seemed that even the shouts of killing had been suppressed. In the distance, a big food soldier looked at the corpses all over the ground, his eyes widened, and his pupils were full of horror. Fifteen thousand brave and skilled warriors, the great iron-eaters of the famous towns, do not know how many opponents they have defeated, how many powerful enemies they have conquered, and each of them can deal with at least four or five infantry when their speed is extreme.
Before setting off again, everyone thought that they could at least kill the Tang people who were several times their own and completely chisel through and break up their formation, but no one expected that after three rounds of arrow rain, they would disappear so completely.
In the history of the Great Cannibal's campaign, there had never been such a thing, and at that moment, everyone felt a suffocating pressure.
Even Umar's face turned pale.
"Forward!"
Seeing the fifteen thousand Great Iron Eaters fall in front of his army of crossbows, Chen Bin's eyes did not fluctuate at all, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, three thousand silver-white carts pushed three thousand crossbows across the corpses of these Great Iron Eaters, and immediately pushed forward.
To their left and right, other reinforcements from the west of the city also stepped over the corpses of these great iron-eating horsemen and rushed forward.
"Kill!"
"Ready!"
At the same time, in the dense army of Great Eclipse, Umar also drew his long sword, although he killed two iron horsemen in the battle and lost nearly 30,000 people, but Umar still did not give up, and was still buying time for the more than 300,000 Great Eclipse army. War not only pays attention to tactics, but also pays attention to strategy, no matter how strong these Tang army is, as long as the more than 300,000 Great Food Army can turn around, waiting for these Tang army is still a dead end in the end.
Boom, the speed of the army is getting faster and faster, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
This time, without those Great Eclipse Cavalry, there was no longer any obstacle between the more than 100,000 reinforcements from the west and the vast Great Eclipse Army, and finally-
"Boom!"
I only heard an earth-shattering loud noise, the earth shook, looking down from the sky, and the two dense armies were like a tide, slamming together, and at that moment, the entire Talas battlefield was shaking violently, and even the earth seemed to be torn apart.
Fist to fist, meat to meat, war horse and war horse, sword and sword...... , colliding violently on this battlefield. This time there was no fancy, and everyone gave it their all. This is the largest and most fierce battle between the East and the West.
"Hold on!"
"For the Empire!"
"Stop these infidels!"
At the forefront of the eastern battlefield, a shield soldier named Dashi tried his best to block it with all his might. They clenched their teeth, their strong shoulders stubbornly pressed against a huge shield nearly seven feet high. Bang bang like a storm of attacks came from the opposite side, the seven-foot tall giant, trembling violently, but firmly blocked the attack from the opposite side.
They already have considerable experience in the face of such attacks. A giant shield can block the attacks of at least four or five opponents of the same level, which is also an important means for the Great Cannibal to deal with the cavalry and infantry of other forces.
- In the actual confrontation, it is difficult for even the big cannibal's own iron cavalry to break through this layer of obstacles.
"Hold on! The general has already spoken, as long as we hold on for a little longer, we can completely destroy them when the army is adjusted!"
A large shield eater roared, their bodies tilted, their feet digging deep into the dirt as if they were one with the earth.
But at this time-
"Boom!"
The earth shook, and an invisible ripple burst out from the rear of the Tang people's army like a hurricane, instantly sweeping the entire Great Food Army. On the east side of the battlefield, all the Great Food Army had not yet reacted, and suddenly there was a bang, the aura under his feet shook, and the breath of his body seemed to be trapped by an invisible shackle, falling again and again, and falling three layers in an instant.
The cannibals, who were originally in a fierce confrontation with the Tang Dynasty/army, suddenly lost their strength and were unable to support them one by one.
