Kahetaba couldn't say a word, and just now he laughed at the Tang Army's crossbow arrows were not good.

In the next moment, the soul-chasing crossbow caused Arab losses heavily, and his eyes were about to turn red.

Especially when he saw those two-handed swordsmen wearing heavy armor also fall down like wheat one by one, he was even more furious, shouting: "General! ”

The two-handed swordsman is a special class of Arabian soldiers, armed with the sharpest swords and heavily armoured, and has always been invincible on the battlefield.

But today, more than 100 casualties have been paid without even touching the enemy.

These two-handed swordsmen are all dressed in strong armor, and ordinary bows and arrows are difficult to hurt at all, but they don't want to face the crossbows of the Tang Dynasty, just like paper paste.

Abu Muslim's eyes fell on the five giant crossbows, and his eyes sparkled, and he said, "This thing is much stronger than the ballista we captured from Byzantium." ”

The crossbow is not a weapon exclusive to China.

In the West, there are also crossbows, and in the fourth century BC, the Greeks made the belly bow, which is the same as the divine arm bow, called the bow, which is actually a crossbow.

But there is no doubt that in the area of bows and crossbows, the Chinese Dynasty is the eternal king.

From the origin of the bow and crossbow to its elimination, the Chinese Dynasty has been in the leading position for a long millennium.

The development of crossbows in the West has reached the present, and there is a strong crossbow called a ballista, which is roughly the same style as the heavy crossbow of the Tang Dynasty, but the power is not the same at all.

Western ballistae only fired one shot, and their power was not comparable to that of the Tang Army's hard crossbows.

"It's not just a little bit stronger!"

A hint of greed flashed in Abu Muslim's eyes and said: "This should be the winch crossbow mentioned in the Tibetan literature, I remember that it was written in the book: The winch crossbow shoots at a distance of about seven hundred paces, and it can be used to attack the city and fortify the defensive line. There is a huge force of twelve stones, manpower can not push, need a winch to open the bow, there are seven arrows on the crossbow arm, the center of the arrow path to put the giant arrow, the left and right place three small arrows. It takes a wrestler to hit the machine with a hammer in order to shoot, and it is indestructible. When I saw it today, it was true. If we had this winch crossbow and produced it on a large scale, why should we worry that Constantinople would not fall? See me take such a sacred thing, that I may help me to accomplish great things in Arabia. ”

The winch crossbow is really powerful, and the rate of fire is a fatal problem.

With the situation on the battlefield, there could be no second chance to shoot.

The Arab soldiers had been in battle for a long time, and after a short period of confusion, they began to change formations.

They gathered their formation, re-shielded the infantry with undamaged axe and shield men, and continued to advance.

Tang Jun also withdrew the crossbow arrow at the first time and retreated.

The Strikers were ready and began to rush forward.

The thick spear pierced through the gap deliberately left by the axe and shield men.

The spears used by the Arab spearmen were much longer than the spears of the Tang army, and this time they directly occupied the advantage of the weapon, stabbed heavily into the body of the Tang army, and pushed forward step by step.

The Tang Army is as well-trained, and the battle front team has tasted the power of the war spear, flexibly and effectively dodging, and quickly approaching.

As long as they rush close and engage the shield-and-axe men, the spearmen's power will be greatly reduced.

After all, the two sides fought together.

The shield of the shield axe is too heavy to move freely in a white-knuckle battle.

Tang Jun is also known for his flexibility, as long as there is a little gap, the quick Tang horizontal knife is inserted through the gap, bringing out a blood mist.

The Arabic spearmen had to choose to abandon their guns and fight with scimitars.

The two sides strangled in one place, charging each other, accompanied by the fall of corpses, the smell of blood, and the battlefield was confused.

Abu Muslim and Kahtaba were nervously speechless.

Their Arab armies were invincible in the West, almost invincible.

The strength of the soldiers is the reason why they are crucial, and they are never at a disadvantage in field battles.

The Arab military system is the root of the Arab empire's dominance of the West.

However, in this battle with the Tang Army, even if the damage caused by the previous crossbow arrows is not counted, in the hand-to-hand duel, they are actually at an unprecedented disadvantage.

Abu Muslim boldly changed his lineup and put his killer two-handed swordsman into the front line.

Feng Changqing on the other side also tightened his face.

The situation of the Tang Dynasty was the same as that of the Arabs, since the Tang army changed to the recruitment system, the Tang Dynasty changed the weakness of the government soldiers, and the combat effectiveness increased sharply.

I have never had an opponent in the field, but I felt the pressure in the fight with the Arabs today.

However, after a quarter of an hour of engagement, the proportion of battle losses was frighteningly high.

Even if the Tang Army's vanguard team achieved a slight advantage, it was exchanged for terrible casualties.

And with the input of the opponent's two-handed swordsman, the slight advantage was instantly reversed.

Feng Changqing's response was not unpleasant, and he directly transferred the hoplites to the battlefield.

The two sides fought each other, showing a stalemate, and the fight was in full swing.

In every inch of land, you can see stumps and broken arms, shouts of killing and wailing, one after another.

With the stalemate of the war, Feng Changqing's eyes showed a trace of unwillingness, although the Tang army did not show defeat, he had already seen it.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the soldiers under his command are slightly inferior to the other party.

If it were the Hexi Yumen Army in his hands when he was the governor of Shazhou, he would definitely believe that he would be able to win.

However, he had just succeeded as the envoy of the Anxi Festival, and the Anxi army had fought against the Turks before, and the Anxi army suffered heavy losses due to the greed of the Fu Menglingcha.

After Feng Changqing succeeded him, he made a new rectification.

Because of Pei Min's relationship, Feng Changqing received the support of the imperial court, and there was no shortage of armor and weapons.

Feng Changqing also attached great importance to training, using the methods learned from Pei Min to train soldiers, and after more than a year of training, the Anxi army also had the strength to fight a war.

But the Arab two-handed swordsmen are death squads composed of Arab warriors, all of whom have more than five years of seniority. When it comes to combat effectiveness, the Anxi Army is indeed superior.

"Withdraw, Mingjin retreats!" Feng Changqing was particularly bold in his retreat, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to transport the winch crossbow away.

The sound of the golden gong sounded in the rear camp.

When the soldiers who had fought hard heard this, they began to retreat in an orderly manner.

The Tang army did not mess up, but marched step by step, fighting and retreating.

"How did you get back?"

Kakhtaba was surprised, he was just a tiger general, and he didn't have a strategic vision.

"Because the generals on the other side know that if they continue to fight, they will lose." Abu Muslim saw the reason and said: "They are not as many as us, and their combat effectiveness is slightly inferior, and if they hold on, they will only lose even worse." It's not easy to know how to advance and retreat! Kahetaba, you lead the soldiers to press me up, how many people are killed in this battle, you will not be credited, you have to snatch one or two of the opponent's five winch crossbows, and I will give you full credit. ”

Kahetaba excitedly pulled out the tomahawk hanging high on his horse's back, and shouted arrogantly: "Don't worry, general, when the last general crushes them, he will snatch all five winch crossbows." ”
