Chapter 650: A Magical Scene
After the army of the Turas formed a battle formation, they did not rush to attack.
Adnan's lieutenant was waiting, on the one hand, he needed time to rest and regain his strength for the army that had just arrived on the march. On the one hand, he was waiting for Peidilan and Adnan and others to lead the main force to advance to the designated position, ready to support the Turan army in battle.
The general of the Tang army was really a rookie, he was there waiting for the Tuluo army to recover his strength, and he was also waiting for the army of Da Shi to enter and support the Tuluo army at any time.
Soon after, Adnan sent to inform his lieutenant that the main force of the Great Eclipse army had been encamped five miles away and could be reinforced. Let him start attacking.
Adnan's lieutenant consulted with several generals of the Turan army, and decided that 20,000 Turat cavalry would be the vanguard, and 30,000 infantry would follow, and he would lead 10,000 large food cavalry to press the formation, looking for an opportunity to deal a decisive blow to the Tang army.
"Toot toot", a horn sounded, the Turat cavalry was ready to attack, and then, a Tura general took the lead, and behind him was the standard-bearer of the Chinese army, and they slowly rode their horses forward.
The Tuluo cavalry followed the direction of the Chinese standard-bearer and moved forward in unison.
The Great War began.
On the tower, the city guards and chieftains looked at the huge enemy army, their faces were as white as earth, and they talked quietly.
"How many people were there in the Tang Dynasty? Why do you only see the following people? A castle guard asked.
"I don't know, I'm afraid it's just these people. Otherwise, this is about to start a war, why don't you see the rest of the people? A chief said.
"Yes, there are too many enemies, and I heard that there is a real Great Food Army behind me." One of the chiefs said.
"Oh no, this time Kabul City can't hold it, I'm afraid we're here too." A castle guard said.
"Hahahaha", at this moment, Li You's laughter came, he was telling jokes with Hamid, and when he talked about the proudness, he couldn't help laughing.
Hamid laughed along with him, along with the White Tiger, the Black Panther, and Garsif, the Iron Guard Commander who was following them.
Seeing Hamid and Li You and the others so relaxed, the city guards and chieftains really didn't know what they were relying on. However, the tension eased a little.
At this time, the Turan cavalry began to accelerate.
At the beginning of the cavalry charge, the speed must be slow to maintain the physical strength of the horse. Then gradually accelerate until you get the fastest time you can sprint.
At this time, not only Adnan's lieutenant general, but even the generals of the Turro army found that the commander of the Tang army was a rookie.
The Tang army is also cavalry, and since they do not rely on battle formations, then they should be cavalry against cavalry. When the cavalry of the Turat army charged, the Tang army should also charge the cavalry of the Turo, otherwise, the cavalry that passively coped with the high-speed impact would first be at a disadvantage and would be crushed by the opponent. The cavalry, which has lost the power of the unified whole, will be slaughtered.
However, when the Tura cavalry had begun to accelerate, the cavalry of the Tang army still did not move, and by the time the Tura cavalry began to charge, it was already too late.
Suddenly, the Don army moved.
The movement here is not the cavalry at the front of the line, but hiding behind the third row of cavalry
The crossbowmen moved.
They couldn't see where the enemy was, and under the command of the flag officer on the wooden tower, they set the crossbow at a certain angle to the sky and set it out. Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows flew into the sky, like a black cloud, whistling and pounced on the Turat cavalry who were accelerating,
"Woo", with the strange cry of crossbow arrows piercing the air, a black cloud fell, and the dense Turan cavalry troops on the ground suddenly became sparse, and the cavalry turned on their backs, blocking the advance of the cavalry behind, and the team became chaotic.
"Woo", another rain of arrows, and then, a third time.
The crossbow equipped by the Tang army has a range of 230 steps (345 meters), which has been improved by Li You to 395 meters, and a foot pedal is set at the front end of the crossbow arrow, so that the crossbowman can easily re-wind, and the speed has also been greatly improved.
The Turat cavalry suffered heavy losses, and by the time they rushed to the front of the Tang army, they had already lost thousands of men.
However, the Tuluo cavalry was outnumbered, and finally rushed to the front of the Tang army.
At this moment, a scene that surprised the Turro people appeared, and the cavalry of the Tang army did not dare to fight, turned around and fled.
"Kill." The Turan cavalry pursued the fleeing Tang Dynasty.
The Turro infantry were also in high spirits, and with all their strength, they moved their legs and rushed forward.
Adnan's lieutenant was overjoyed, and hurriedly launched a charge with his 10,000 large canteen cavalry.
"Oh, the Tang Dynasty people are too incompetent."
"That's it, why did you run away before you hit it?"
The city guards and chiefs panicked.
However, Li You and Hamid still talked and laughed.
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty retreated in an orderly manner, and they did not forget to shoot arrows at the Tura cavalry while retreating, but the direction of their arrows was not the Tura cavalry chasing in front of them, and they still took the throwing to attack the cavalry behind them.
The people of Tuluo were in a hurry, and they desperately moved forward to kill all these hateful Tang Dynasty people in front of them.
Suddenly, something strange happened.
Just where the Tang Dynasty had just withdrawn, the cavalry of Tuluo turned on their backs one by one. The cavalry rushing at high speed behind was difficult to contain, and the team became even more chaotic when they collided with the chaotic cavalry in front.
The cavalry of Tura scurried around, only to fall one by one.
The city guards and chiefs were stunned by this scene.
Also stupid is Adnan's lieutenant, who doesn't understand what the hell is going on there? He grabbed the reins and slowed down.
Then, a terrifying scene happened.
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty no longer retreated, but instead charged at the cavalry of Turao. But the strange thing is that where the Tuluo cavalry turned over on their backs, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was on the ground.
The cavalry who rushed into the camp of the Tang army could not escape at all, and they could only stay where they were, allowing the cavalry of the Tang army to be slaughtered.
Xue Rengui left a part of the cavalry to eliminate the Tuluo cavalry trapped in the Tang army's camp. With his main force, he rushed towards a Turian infantry who had followed behind.
The Turat cavalry, who rushed to the Tang camp and did not have time to enter, were frightened by the scene in front of them, and they turned around and ran, causing the formation of the Turao infantry behind them to be chaotic.
At this time, Xue Rengui, Li Tongshan, Zhang Guigui and others led the Tang cavalry to rush up. The Tang cavalry, wielding sharp Tang swords, condescendedly slashed and killed the Turao infantry who had no armor or only simple armor.
The brutal slaughter quickly caused the infantry of Tura to scatter and flee.
The Tang army pursued these poor Turian infantry mercilessly.
Adnan's lieutenant saw the tragic situation in front of him, so he had no choice but to take his men and horses to block the cavalry of the Tang army, trying to cover the escape of these Turan infantry.
Xue Rengui saw Adnan's lieutenant general rushing towards him, bent his bow and arrows, and set up a series of arrows at him.
