At the head of the Chinese army were three thousand crossbowmen, who were also spearmen, and after gathering in a phalanx, they were not afraid of the enemy cavalry, and in the heat of battle, they would fight behind the hoplites, and the other thousand soldiers were contradictory troops, holding high large shields and short spears, and they were responsible for protecting the left and right flanks of the hoplites,

And 10,000 cavalry will be the main force today, they not only have to fight bloody battles with the enemy cavalry, but also suppress their combat range and create conditions for the heavy infantry.

'Woo-'

The low horn of the Shatuo cavalry sounded again, and the eight thousand Shatuo cavalry also entered the battle state, holding spears and looking at the Tang army two miles away with hideous eyes.

Zhu Xiemoshan's eyes narrowed, damn it, it was actually the Tang Army, not the Ge Lulu people, the cavalry of the Ge Lulu was very powerful, he was still a little unsure, but the Tang Army........

Many people think that they can step into the same river twice, Zhu Ximoshan is obviously such a person, he has never fought with Guo Song's Hexi army, but he has dealt with Zhao Tengjiao's Ganzhou army, and even fought fiercely with Wang Lianen's Ganzhou army, and completely annihilated 8,000 Tang troops.

He looked down on the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of his bones, was wantonly bullied by the Hui people, was beaten to the ground by the Tubo army, and was almost destroyed by An Lushan, such a Tang army can compete with the Shatuo cavalry on the grassland?

A cruel killing intent ignited in his heart, slaughtering this Tang army, and letting Zhu Xie Jinhai go without a place!

He drew his sword and shouted, "Kill! ”

Eight thousand Shatuo cavalry suddenly launched, ten thousand horses galloping, the earth trembled, and they rushed wildly, trying to break the opponent's defense line with a powerful impact.

"Crossbow ready!"

A Tang Junlang general shouted loudly, three thousand crossbow soldiers knelt on one knee, and at the same time raised the crossbow, the oblique angle up forty-five degrees, with a parabolic way to shoot the opponent, when the crossbow arrow fell from a height, then the range distance is also the killing distance, this is the Tang Army's most sophisticated arm crossbow, the killing distance can reach two hundred and fifty steps.

If the oblique angle is 60 degrees upward, then the parabola angle is larger, and the gravitational acceleration of the fall from a height is also greater, and the penetration is stronger, but the killing distance will be shortened, becoming 200 steps.

However, the Tang army chose an oblique angle of forty-five degrees, they had experience, and this height was enough to shoot through the leather armor of the Shatuo army, and two hundred and fifty paces, which could give them two rounds of shooting.

The cold arrows are streamlined, grooved on three sides, and once they hit the enemy, they will bleed non-stop, and unless they pull out the arrows in time to apply medicine, they will lose too much blood and die.

The Shatuo cavalry rushed closer and closer, and had already entered the range of three hundred paces, and even the war horses of the Tang army felt the monstrous murderous aura that swept in, and gently hit the ground with the horse's hooves uneasily.

But this Hexi Tang army has been tempered on the battlefield for a long time and is strongly trained, they are as immobile as a mountain, and their eyes are cold to look at the swept Shatuo cavalry.

Zhu Xie Moshan suddenly felt that something was wrong, the other party actually gave him a feeling of pig iron, cold, hard, hard, but this feeling was only a flash in his heart, he had no time to think about it at this time, and the hot blood was about to break through the top of his head.

"Kill!" Zhu Xie Moshan waved his knife and shouted.

"Kill—" The Eight Thousand Shatuo cavalry hissed like wolves.

The Shatuo cavalry finally made it to the two hundred and fifty paces.

'Bang! Bang! Bang! The crisp sound of bangs suddenly sounded.

The crossbowmen of the Tang Army did not need to command, they knew from the formation that this was three rounds of shooting, and the thousand crossbowmen in the first row took the lead in pulling the hanging knife, 'Click! A crossbow machine sounded, and a thousand crossbow bolts rose into the air, turning into tiny black dots in an instant and disappearing.

Dense crossbow arrows roared and crackled into the ranks of the Shatuo cavalry, who were already on guard and raised their leather shields.

Just as the collision of two high-speed cars would be more tragic, the galloping cavalry encountered a powerful crossbow bolt, and the penetration and lethality of the crossbow became more powerful.

'Poof! Burst! Poof.......'

The sound of a leather armor being penetrated sounded, and the Shatuo soldiers screamed and were hit by arrows, rolled and dismounted, and some war horses were shot by crossbow arrows, fell forward and fell to the ground, throwing the Shatuo cavalry on horseback and flying out, trampled into mud by the galloping horses' hooves behind.

When the first row of crossbowmen finished shooting, they immediately drew out the second crossbow arrow, and in order to lighten the load, each person carried only two crossbow arrows, which were inserted in a row of arrow holes in the armor on their backs, like bullet belts in later generations.

They struggled to pull the bowstring, stuck the crossbow hook, drew the crossbow arrows and put them into the trough, pulled up the lookout, and walked up at an oblique angle of sixty paces, all in one go.

By this time, the crossbow bolts of the second and third rows had been fired, and two thousand crossbow bolts had been fired into the ranks of the enemy running, and the enemy had already killed a hundred and fifty paces away.

The second round began, and three more rows of crossbow bolts were fired, 'Poof! Burst! Puff ..... rained down on the enemy ranks, piercing their shields and armour, and countless soldiers fell from their horses with wails.

A young Shatuo soldier was shot in the chest, the severe pain made him lose his balance, rolled over and fell off the horse, and the strong desire to survive caused him to get up from the ground, but as soon as he got up, he was stomped on the back of the neck by the heavy horse's hooves, and his neck was broken and penetrated through the neck.......

At the moment when he was about to die, he seemed to see his own dome, and he saw his wife and young son standing in front of the dome looking out, and his eyes were dark, and he never woke up.

The brutal war caused countless Shatuo cavalry to die humbly like ants.

Two rounds of 6,000 arrows caused the 8,000 Shatuo army to lose more than 1,000 cavalry, and the remaining 7,000 had finally reached the Tang army's fifty paces away.

By this time, the three thousand crossbowmen had already picked up their spears and quickly retreated behind the hoplites, and the generals, with their crossbows behind them, turned into spear infantry, and they quickly formed a phalanx of spears to counter the enemy cavalry with collective strength.

The protagonist has already taken the stage, a thousand heavily armored infantry half-kneeling on the ground, they are wrong in pairs, the handle of the Mo knife is pressed against the earth, the sharp tip of the knife is pointed at the sky at a 45-degree oblique angle, the Mo knife is a foot and a half feet, that is, about four meters six, enough length to have enough height, so that the war horse can not jump from the top of the head, even if it is forced to leap, it is also the consequence of disemboweling.

Mo knives are extremely hard and a little less tough, but they don't need toughness, and the extremely sharp tips and blades are enough to make them pierce everything and split everything.

Ten thousand horses galloped, had been killed thirty paces away, and they could clearly see the faces of the enemy soldiers on the opposite side, it was a kind of fear in the hideous, a silent cry of despair, the muscles on their faces were completely distorted, they knew that they would die, many soldiers closed their eyes in fear, and let fate send them to a miserable hell.

But the powerful murderous aura of the Shatuo cavalry and the sound of thunderous horse hooves were enough to frighten ordinary people, but they were facing a thousand killing machines, and the eyes of the Modao soldiers were only cold gray, like death staring at their prey, without any mercy, so cruel that it made people's hearts palpitate, they were like statues made of iron, motionless.

"Boom!"

The galloping cavalry team finally collided with a thousand cold Mo swords, and the incomparably powerful impact force could smash a closed city gate to pieces, or kill and injure thousands of soldiers, which was what they had originally intended.

It's a pity that what they encountered was a long Mo knife, and the powerful power was transmitted to the earth through the Mo knife, and even only let the extremely sharp Mo knife pierce one chest after another, piercing one war horse after another, and the corpses of people and war horses quickly piled up in front of the Mo knife array, and more than 1,300 cavalry died tragically in front of the powerful Mo knife array with just one impact.

The series of impacts finally stopped, as if time had frozen in Shatuojun's body.

The cavalry of the Tang Army suddenly broke out, killed from the left and right flanks, shouting to kill the Shatuo cavalry, the Shatuo cavalry reacted, turned their horses' heads one after another, and the two cavalry armies fought fiercely.

A thousand heavily armored soldiers also stood up suddenly, shaking off the internal organs and blood foam on the Mo knife, and they stepped on the corpse of the enemy, neatly brandishing the Mo knife and slashing at the Shatuo cavalry.
