Chapter 634: Okay, You've Won
Outside Gegemu City.
In the early morning, the sun drove away the faint morning mist, and the dew shone with a sparkling light on the grass that had just spit out new green.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the distant mountains are light, and it is a quiet and peaceful scene.
At this moment, people shouted and neighed, and a large group of people and horses rolled in.
Soon after, the procession divided into two parts, one with a red flag and a small number and standing on the east side, and a large part with a large number of people and a white flag and standing on the west side.
Then, a hundred-man team came out of both troops, each carrying a flag.
Li You rode to the front of the team, and Adnan, Pei Dilan, and others also rode to the opposite side of him.
Adnan said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, in order to test the comprehensive combat capability of the troops, I suggest that we do not conduct individual competitions, but directly have a confrontation match, what do you think?" ”
Li You nodded and said, "Everything is subject to the general's arrangement." ”
Adnan pointed to a small hill about a mile away and said, "Your Highness, please see, there is an abandoned brick kiln there, and there is an offensive and defensive battle there.
Two teams of men and horses seize the brick kiln, and whoever can plant their flag on the brick kiln and keep a stick of incense for a long time wins.
The two teams participating in the competition can use any means. ”
Li You nodded in agreement.
Then, the two troops participating in the contest each sent people to check the terrain of the brick kiln.
Then, both units retreated 500 paces each, waving flags to indicate readiness.
Li You, Adnan and others stood together and watched the competition.
The race is about to begin, and the land is quiet.
After Adnan signaled to Li You, he gave the order for the game to begin.
"Toot toot, beet toot", a high-pitched trumpet sound, broke the silence of the field, and the two teams rushed like two sharp arrows shooting towards the brick kiln.
The location of the brick kiln is higher, and whoever occupies it first and holds it condescendingly will have a geographical advantage. Therefore, the two teams adopted the same tactics and went all out to go straight to the hill pack.
When the two centaurs came within range of the crossbows, the two sides began to fire their crossbows, and for a moment the arrows were like flying locusts.
The armor equipped by the Flying Tiger Army is fine-scale armor, and steel plates are added at critical places, and the protection is greatly improved. The Khorasan cavalry was equipped with chain mail, which was also a type of iron armor, and its protection was also good.
Even so, there were still people on both sides who were hit by arrows.
Seeing that someone in the Flying Tiger Army was shot by an arrow and fell off his horse, Li You's heart really didn't feel good.
Adnan, Pei Dilan and the others were even more unhappy in their hearts, because they saw that the number of Khorasan cavalry falling from their horses was greater than that of the Tang army.
It turned out that the bow and crossbow of the Tang Army were originally superior to the straight draw bow of the big cannibal, and the big cannibal was basically not equipped with a crossbow, and the shooting accuracy of the crossbow was higher than that of the bow. That's not all, Li You invented the three-edged armor-piercing arrow, and the armor-piercing ability is much higher than that of the big cannibal arrow.
Therefore, the casualties of the Great Cannibals are somewhat higher than those of the Flying Tigers.
The Khorasan cavalry was experienced and extremely brave. They didn't care about the casualties, but just tried their best to seize the advantageous terrain. This target was chosen by the Great Cannibals, and last night, they had already done adaptation training in advance, so they were more familiar with the terrain than the Take-off Tiger Army.
Qualcomm thought the same thing as the Khorasan cavalry, and he took the lead and went straight to the top of the mountain.
The Khorasan cavalry was still one step faster, they preemptively went to the top of the hill and erected their white temperament on the brick kiln.
"Okay, okay." Adnan, Peidilan and others cheered excitedly.
Adnan shouted, "Light the incense and start the timer." ”
The commander of the Khorasan cavalry went to the top of the mountain, and after planting the flag first, he immediately sent half of his troops to intercept the Flying Tiger Army, and the rest of the men immediately dismounted and lined up around the banner, ready to meet the attack of the Tang army.
The Khorasan cavalry commander was shrewd, and his purpose was clear. His tactics would result in a division of troops and more casualties, but he could buy time, and as long as he could hold on for a stick of incense, he could win the game.
Qualcomm saw that the Khorasan cavalry took the lead in planting the flag, and he was not impatient, he calmly observed the situation on the battlefield and immediately discovered the flaws of the Khorasan cavalry.
The Khorasan cavalry divided their forces to disrupt the Tang army's attack, and they were alone, and Qualcomm immediately organized troops to besiege these Khorasan cavalry, and after a while, they were completely annihilated.
However, this has been delayed for a while.
At this moment, the Khorasan cavalry had already organized a battle formation, and behind the round shields, spears stretched out, like a round hedgehog, opened the spikes on its body, and protected the battle flag in the middle.
In the middle of this formation, there were quite a few archers, who kept shooting arrows outward, blocking the approach of the Tang army.
By this time, a third of the incense had been burned.
Qualcomm and others annihilated the enemy forces on the periphery and approached the enemy's battle formation.
At this time, Qualcomm and the others encountered a problem, the big cannibals had formed a circle with shields, and the threat posed to them by the Tang army's bows and crossbows had weakened a lot. The bow and arrow of the big cannibal can really cause damage to the Tang army.
Qualcomm has been in battle for a long time, he immediately contained the centaurs, and lined up all the shield bearers in the front, followed by the Mo knife men in the second row, and the rest of the men used bows and arrows to cover the shield bearers' advance.
At this time, there were still more than 50 people in the big cannibals, and there were more than 70 people in the Tang army.
Soon, the Tang army, under the cover of the shield hand, came to the front of the big cannibal array.
The big cannibals had long been prepared, their spearmen were constantly piercing from behind their shields, and the shieldmen in front of the Don army were disorganized.
At this moment, the shield hands of the Tang Army flashed to both sides, revealing the 18 Mo Daomen of the Tang Army in the three rows behind them.
The Mo knife men held the Mo knife high and pressed forward step by step.
Looking at the Mo knife array like a wall of swords, the archers of the great cannibals hurriedly fired arrows at them, and the Mo swordsmen wearing double heavy armor even wore steel masks on their faces, and the arrows shot by the great poet had no effect on them at all.
The Khorasan cavalry was a little flustered, and they stabbed the Mo swordsmen of the Tang army with their spears.
"Kill!" With the roar of the Mo knife hands, the shining knife wall was pressed down.
What battle formation, what round shield, what spear, what big food soldier's strong will, all of them were smashed in front of the absolute strength of the Mo Dao Formation.
Although the Great Food Soldier was brave, he finally collapsed in the face of the terrifying attack power of the Tang Army.
They knew that this was a contest, and as long as they laid down their weapons, their lives would not be in danger, so the remnants of the Great Food soldiers basically laid down their weapons.
At this time, only the commander of the Khorasan cavalry on the top of the brick kiln, stubbornly holding the white battle flag, still refused to give up under the heavy encirclement of the Tang army.
At this moment, he was hit by at least three arrows in his body, and his body was already red with blood, and he held the battle flag, or rather, the battle flag supported him, and stood there tenaciously.
Last night, Li You confessed that the Tang army wanted to show its strength and save face for the big cannibals as much as possible, so Qualcomm did not attack the commander of the Khorasan cavalry, nor did he take the battle flag in his hand.
He smiled and said, "Okay, you win." But your injuries are very serious, and I want someone to bandage you, is that okay? ”
A soldier of the Flying Tiger Army, who knew the language of the Great Food, translated Qualcomm's words.
The Khorasan cavalry commander still held the battle flag in both hands, but nodded to Qualcomm with difficulty.
"The incense is out, the time is up, we win!" The Great Cannibal cheered.
