Chapter 69: The Bloody Battle
The Arabian Lion Legion has been in battle for a long time, and every soldier is transferred from veterans who have performed well in other regiments, and none of them are new recruits.
The presence of one veteran on the battlefield is more useful than ten recruit eggs.
A carefully selected soldier who crawled out of the mountain of corpses and blood naturally had terrifying strength, and there was almost no need for superfluous command, and the soldiers of the forward cavalry already knew how to break through the formation.
They were invincible in the West, and more than once encountered the situation of fighting on foot. In the face of the spear array, he also has his own experience.
The Arab cavalry horses were all equipped with chest armor, and they crashed into the spears of the Tang army with the chest armor of their horses one by one, and at the same time shot out of their hands with the horse armour, taking a long distance ahead of the first step and shooting the enemy formation.
Taking advantage of the moment when the soldiers in front of him fell, they slammed into it fiercely.
As a result, the Arab cavalry lost 500 horsemen......
Mosley Massa felt a little cramped in his heart, he was not unaware of the natural mobility brought by abandoning the war horse, and breaking the infantry formation with the front of the cavalry, which was never flattering, and the cavalry who opened the road would inevitably die on the way to the collision: it was just that the position chosen by Pei Min was too distinct, easy to defend and not easy to attack. In the narrow corridor, the cavalry could not make a detour to the rear. Simply rushing into battle with foot soldiers can indeed avoid this kind of attrition. But where can the impact of the foot soldiers compare to the cavalry?
The Tang Army has three route armies that may rush to support at any time, and it is even more stupid to use foot soldiers to fight a war of attrition with Pei Min in this corridor.
At this point, Mosley Massa also let go, and made a bloody investment, directly attacking the spear formation with cavalry head-on, and using the flesh and blood of cavalry to impact Yongdao.
But he never imagined that the losses were so heavy, and the infantry defense under Pei Min's cloth was so amazing.
More than 500 cavalry were not damaged by the hands of the strong bows and crossbows behind the spear array, but were killed in an instant in the impact of the spear array. Coupled with the damage of the bow and crossbow, in this instant, they actually lost nearly a thousand people.
Rao is Mosley Massa, who has experienced a hundred battles and created countless bloody scenes with his own hands, and he was terrified when he saw this scene.
The cavalry that rushed to the forefront almost everyone knew that the charge would kill him. But they can't retreat, and if they slow down the Tang Army's strong bows and crossbows, they will be ruthless in their lives, and rushing into battle at the fastest and strongest speed is the real way to survive.
They began to accelerate forward at the edge of the crossbow range, and the cavalry at this time was the most imposing, the most fast, and the cavalry collided with the formation, relying on the inertia brought by the galloping horses, the terror of the huge momentum was self-evident.
As a result, all men and horses died under the spears of the Tang army.
More than 500 cavalrymen were directly pierced through the body by spears......
The most incredible thing is that the spear pierced through the body of the man and horse, showing terrifying toughness, the spear faced the terrible impact of the cavalry, actually bent and continued, and the spear resisted the impact.
With this advantage, the Arab cavalry was completely unable to shake the pikes of the Tang army.
"How is this possible?"
Mosley Massa looked incredulous.
He didn't know that the spear in Pei Min's hand was made of high-grade mulberry wood.
The mulberry wood is dense and tough, and it is called "Zhenzhe". Yu Shinan's "Pipa Fu" has a praise sentence: "Papaya chastity, intertwined roots, or brocade scattered and flowers, or silk lingering and knotted." ”
Generally speaking, mulberry wood is used to make high-quality bows and arrows and horse lances.
Pei Min has always been willing to spend money on armaments, in order to improve the power of the gun array, he specially used his identity as Qiao Feng to buy a large number of mulberry wood from Jingnan and gave it to the Longyou Governor's Mansion in the form of donations.
Pei Min transported this batch of mulberry wood to Chang'an and applied for the Ministry of War to make a batch of spears for himself.
Pei Min sent thirty percent of them to the Ministry of War, and then sent Li Longji to the ancient song of Qiuzi, dotting up and down.
The military department used steel casting spear heads and mulberry wood as rods to make these spears with the process of making horse lances.
Whether it is penetration or flexibility, it is the best of the spears.
Rifles are like a forest, and arrows are like rain.
Just a sprint actually lost nearly a thousand people......
Mosley Massa endured the discomfort in his heart and made people attack again.
The results are as always.
Another charge, another thousand Arab cavalry died under the guns and arrows of the Tang army, and none of them survived, but none of the Arab knights retreated.
Their sacrifice and struggle finally loosened the spear array in front of them, and the impact caused by the huge war horse strained the spear, and the corpse of the man and horse crashed into the spear array under the influence of inertia.
The soldiers of the Tang Army in front couldn't stand this force, and directly splattered blood to death.
Dead people are not afraid, but dying so quickly, Mosley Massa is a little difficult to accept, but he himself still has the same face, and shouted sharply: "The cavalry breaks the infantry formation, the most difficult is at the beginning, as long as you break those rows of guns and spears, it will naturally be much smoother after that, don't let the blood of our warriors be shed in vain." Under the protection of Allah, the true God, break through the enemy ......"
He ordered three more waves of cavalry and forced his charge.
After two heroic charges, the spear array was turbulent and collapsed......
At the cost of more than 3,500 elite cavalry, the Arabs crushed the pikemen of the Tang army, and all 2,000 soldiers of the Tang army were killed.
The formation is in the people, and the people are dead.
When the Arab cavalry was ready to receive the results of the battle, they found that the strong bows and crossbows that were originally located in the rear of the Tang army had all disappeared, and were replaced by soldiers armed with Mo swords.
Speaking of the Mo Dao Army, it is naturally inseparable from the supernatural general Li Siye, but it does not mean that Pei Min has only Li Siye and a Mo Dao Army.
The two thousand Mo Dao troops that appeared in front of the Arab cavalry at this moment may not be as terrifying as Li Siye, but they are also worthy of the name of Mo Dao.
Dressed in iron armor, they marched forward in formation, slashing horses with swords and swords, advancing like a wall, with unparalleled swiftness!
They rode on foot and again beheaded 3,000 Arab cavalry.
It's just that in the face of the tide of assault, they inevitably paid a painful price, and there were less than three hundred of the two thousand athletes.
Once again, the Arabs launched a surprise attack.
At this moment, the commander of the Modao Army is a team leader who is no more than twenty years old......
Pei Min governed the army very strictly, and the Tang Army's establishment army was headed by the captain, followed by the deputy captain, followed by the captain, then the brigade commander, the team leader, and finally the fire commander.
The two armies fought, the lieutenant was killed, and the deputy lieutenant was retained; The deputy lieutenant was killed, and the lieutenant was left to his part; The lieutenant was killed, and the brigade commander left it, and so on.
Now that the team is commanding the soldiers and horses, it is obvious that the captains, deputy captains, captains, and brigade commanders of the Modao Army have all been killed.
"Array!"
The young team faced the mighty cavalry, Ling Ran was not afraid, raised his sword and shouted:
"Lift!"
"Broken!"
Mo knife soldiers kill the enemy, there are no superfluous movements, let alone superfluous methods, some just raise their knives high, cut down, and everyone and horses are broken......
Walking on the corpses of all the Modao soldiers, the Arabs had already occupied two-thirds of the corridor.
