The Tang Dynasty soldiers, in fact, also had casualties.

However, because of their sophisticated equipment and excellent geographical advantages, the death rate of both sides was as high as 30 to 1.

Moreover, because the two cavalry commanders of the Great Food were killed by arrows, and the Qiyu commanders all the way saw that the situation was not good, they hurriedly issued an order to retreat.

As soon as Da Shi's cavalry retreated, Datang's neat tricycle formation quickly ignited and chased after it.

At this time, it became a completely one-sided massacre, and there was no such thing as casualties at all.

From beginning to end, the number of soldiers killed in the Tang Dynasty did not exceed 100.

As for the number of soldiers killed in battle, well, anyway, there are their corpses everywhere in the entire depression, and it is difficult to count them at present.

But the death toll is definitely not less than 10,000.

Moreover, this number, with the continuous pursuit of Datang, this number is still rising rapidly.

At this time, the cavalry of the Great Eclipse, through three narrow roads, had already passed more than half of the number.

It's very easy for the back team to change from the front team, and you can run after turning around.

But in the middle of the road, and the big food cavalry in the road, if you want to turn around and run, it's not so easy.

The roads were so narrow and crowded that it was difficult for the horses to turn their heads.

What's more, even if you turn the horse's head around, if the one in front doesn't run, where will you run behind?

All of a sudden, the formation of the Great Food Cavalry was in chaos.

The back ones desperately wanted to evacuate, and the front ones, because of the narrow road, couldn't get up quickly.

And the pursuit of the Datang steam tricycle array is getting closer and closer, and it is imminent.

The red-eyed big eater cavalry couldn't help but pull out his weapon and brandished a butcher's knife at his comrades.

The cavalry of the Great Eclipse was not invincible in the world at that time, but at least one of the best.

They fought in the north and south, and they had never encountered such a rout.

But now, they ran into Datang's neat tricycle formation and were defeated for the first time.

At this time, Khalid, Ibn and Welid, who were sitting at the foot of Jinji Mountain, for some reason, actually felt a little restless.

Could it be that these 50,000 cavalry will slaughter the 50,000 infantry of the Tang Dynasty, what danger will there be?

How is this possible?

The cavalry itself is the natural enemy of the infantry, and even if it is defeated, it can still be calmly evacuated, no, no!

However, inexplicably, this feeling of uneasiness became more and more serious.

Wei Lide finally couldn't help but send scouts to check on the situation.

Soon, scouts rushed back.

"General, our cavalry, have retreated."

Wei Lide asked with a gloomy face, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"General, it seems, it seems, we are defeated!"

Well?

50,000 cavalry meets 50,000 infantry, and you tell me that you are defeated?

How can it be defeated?

Wei Lide was angry and frightened, but even at this moment, he was able to maintain his composure.

"Give me the order to set fire to the mountain! After burning the mountain, the 30,000-strong army retreated ten miles back to standby. In case of emergency, generals can make their own decisions on the battlefield. ”

"Guard battalion, follow me!"

Since all 50,000 cavalry had been defeated, Wei Lide concluded that the other side must have cavalry.

Otherwise, the 50,000 cavalry would not have been defeated like this.

Since even the cavalry has been defeated, there is little point in sending another 30,000 infantry up.

What's more, he also had 20,000 infantry in ambush on his flanks.

After delivering the order, Wei Lide immediately led a thousand cavalry of the Guards Battalion and quickly rushed to the battlefield.

When he was still seven or eight miles away from the battlefield, Wei Lide found that there was a rout of the Great Eclipse cavalry in front of him.

Wei Lide quickly gathered these cavalry, glanced at the number of people, and found that there were only about seven or eight thousand people.

Although cavalry still came one after another, the number of them was getting scarcer and thinner.

Wei Lide couldn't help but feel a strong feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "What happened?" Why did you rout? What's going on? ”

After asking, no one replied for a long time.

Wei Lide was even angrier: "Huh? They're all dumb, aren't they? Ask you what you say, what do you say? ”

"General, I, I don't know!"

What the?

You don't know?

This answer made Wei Lide's nose almost crooked.

You've run away, and you don't know why you broke out?

You don't know anything, so why don't you run a yarn?

"You don't know? Well, that's good! Escape from the battle, and be killed according to the law! Chop off his head for me! ”

As soon as he heard that General Wei Lide was going to cut off his head, the soldier was in a hurry and immediately said: "General, I am not a deserter, I am an order to retreat issued by our commander!" ”

"That's right, at that time, the 50,000 infantry of the Tang Dynasty were in a depression, and I was at the back of the line. When the team was halfway inside, there was a fierce battle ahead. ”

"When the team was more than halfway in, the commander gave the order to retreat. As for what happened inside and why it collapsed, I really don't know. ”

After listening to his explanation, Wei Lide immediately remembered the depression, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Wei Lide ordered the Third Route Cavalry to encircle and suppress the 50,000 infantry of the Tang Dynasty.

Because the infantry of the Tang Dynasty has been moving, Wei Lide naturally cannot order them to encircle and suppress at a fixed position in advance, but it must be determined according to the position of the infantry of the Tang Dynasty.

This requires all kinds of cavalry to act at the opportune time.

But Wei Lide never expected that 50,000 Tang infantry would be in the depression.

The place in the depression is clearly an excellent place to set traps!

Needless to say, the Tang army must have set a trap and defeated his Great Eater cavalry.

This situation can only show that Datang has already deployed.

Could it be that the 20,000 Tang infantry on Jinji Mountain are all their outcasts?

For a moment, it was difficult for Wei Lide to figure out the crux of the matter.

But now was not the time to hesitate, as Wei Lide regrouped the defeated cavalry and sent someone to pick up the soldiers who were approaching.

At the same time, a defensive position was set up to meet them.

……

At this time, the war in the depression was also coming to an end.

The cavalry trapped in the depression was almost dead at this time.

However, because the corpses of the soldiers and horses were scattered all over the field, and the road to exit was relatively narrow, the road was temporarily blocked.

At this time, in the depression, the 10,000 infantry who acted as bait were also put to use.

In the depression, of course, there could be 50,000 Tang infantry.

This time, the total number of troops brought over by Li Su was only more than 50,000, how could they all be placed here?

The number of 50,000 infantry was actually deliberately released by Li Su.

Using the information station of the Huya Special Combat Team, the erroneous message was passed to Da Shi.

And the general of the Great Eclipse used the wrong information to formulate the wrong countermeasures.

This is the big victory of the Tang army.

In the depression, there were actually only 10,000 infantry.

And now, these infantry are just lined up to come in handy.

They quickly cleared the corpses of the Great Eaters and the horses that stood in their way, quickly cleared a road, and then allowed the steam tricycle to pass.

……

At the same time, the commanders of the Great Food, Khaled, Ibn and Welid, were constantly leading the fleeing cavalry, while organizing the cavalry, and decided to have a confrontation with the chariot team of the Tang Dynasty.

Now, Wei Lide has learned the reason why Datang defeated them from the mouths of the soldiers who escaped later.

Because Datang has a new type of weapon, it is actually a car formation.

As a formation, the chariot formation was once popular, and it was used by using horse-drawn carriages to put on a defensive formation.

But then it was basically not used, and even if it was used, it was only a passive defensive position.

It is a tactic that has basically been eliminated by the wheels of history.

But now, the chariot invented by Datang is very powerful.

It is said that the chariot was made of steel and was very tall and strong.

Bows and arrows can't break through its body, steel knives can't cut its body, and people's chariots can also fire strong crossbows, fast and accurate.

What's even more amazing is that this kind of chariot can actually run on its own! And they were running quite fast, only slightly slower than their horses.

There is also a steel chariot that runs automatically?

When he heard the news, although he knew his soldiers, he would never dare to deceive himself about such a thing.

But Willier is still skeptical.

Because this kind of thing is completely beyond the scope of his cognition.

Well, the main thing is that Dashi is a little far away from Datang.

They have been busy expanding in recent years, and they have not paid attention to the affairs of the distant Datang.

If they had paid attention to Datang, they would not have known that Datang now has a train.

That's the real steel monster that can run, a car can pull tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds of goods!

Running much faster than a war horse!

It's a pity that Wei Lide has only heard the story of Zhuge Liang's wooden cow and flowing horse.

And the wooden ox and flowing horse are just a legend, which has not been handed down in real objects and has not been verified.

So, this time, Willier decided to see for himself the true power of the steel chariot.

Know yourself and your opponent, and the next time you fight, you can deploy the corresponding tactics.

Soon, Wei Lide saw the true face of the Datang steel chariot.

Although he had already heard the appearance of a steel chariot from the mouths of soldiers.

But when Wei Lide saw the steel chariot with his own eyes, he was still deeply shocked!

The galloping steel train, with billowing smoke, galloped all the way, and the unstoppable momentum made Wei Lide shocked.

"Attack!"

Still, he gave the order to attack, and he had to find the weak point in the steel chariot.

Otherwise, there will be no way to fight this battle in the future.

Willier was calculating the distance.

Soon, Wei Lide found that the steel chariot was slowly slowing down.

Well, don't they need speed to win?

Soon, they were about to be within range of their cavalry.

Wei Lide was still very confident in the range of their cavalry.

However, to Wei Lide's surprise, the other party actually shot the arrow first.

Shout!

Shout! Shout!

A burst of powerful crossbows shot out, and the three thousand cavalry of Da Shi suddenly turned on their backs.

And, unlike cavalry archery, the crossbow arrows of the Datang steel chariot are very fast.

And there is a strong sense of hierarchy, not a swarm of bees.

Rather, it is designed in rows, piece by piece, in turn.

In this way, it is possible to do as little as possible without wasting arrows, pursue the maximum lethality, and have a clear sense of hierarchy.

In the process, Datang's steel chariot became slower and slower.

It's almost stopped.

Wei Lide guessed that if their steel chariot collided with the war horse during the journey, it was likely to overturn.

If their chariot overturned, it was estimated that it would cause heavy losses.

When the time comes, you can use this to make a fuss.

The next moment, it was finally within range of the bow and arrow of the Great Eclipse Cavalry.

The archers of the Great Eclipse Cavalry began to shoot arrows with their bows.

But as the soldiers had said, their arrows hit the steel chariots and were immediately ricocheted.

There is no way to penetrate the chariot at all.

After a few breaths, the Great Eclipse Cavalry finally approached the steel chariot of the Tang Dynasty after paying a heavy price.

But the next development, still as the fleeing cavalry said, their steel knives could not split the other party's carriage at all.

Their height is not enough to reach the soldiers in other people's cars.

You can only fight on horseback.

However, in this way, there is no room for maneuver and it becomes a living target.

In a short period of time, there were only a few of the three thousand cavalry left.

The remaining cavalry, finally routed, scattered and fled.

However, how could they, with their backs to the Tang Army, be able to dodge the shot of crossbow arrows?

As a result, these 3,000 cavalry will soon be wiped out.

And it was only at this time that Wei Lide woke up from his thoughts.

He was a little annoyed, he should have given the order to retreat earlier, so that some soldiers could survive.

However, Wei Lide feels that their sacrifice was not in vain.

He had already thought of a way to deal with these steel chariots.

Of course, they have to pay a very heavy price.

But if you can get your hands on these steel chariots, then it's worth it!

With these steel chariots in hand, when the time comes to conquer the West, it will be invincible.

Next, Wei Lide quickly gave the order to attack!

Of course, this time it was not the cavalry that was dispatched.

Rather, it was the infantry lying in ambush on either side.

The cavalry is Wei Lide's treasure, and he has died too much today, which makes Wei Lide feel distressed.

Of course, the loss of infantry will make him feel the same distress.

But compared to the gains, it's all worth it.

Soon, 20,000 infantry poured out from both flanks.

The wonderful thing is that the place where they hide is not the most suitable place for ambush at all.

These big food soldiers quietly modified the terrain and even used some of the principles of camouflage uniforms in later generations.

Use color to deceive their enemies.

It's hard to spot them when they're not moving.

When they move, it's too late for you to get rid of them.

Wei Lide keenly noticed that when the Tang army on the opposite side saw their infantry, there was obviously a look of surprise on their faces.

At this time, Wei Lide couldn't help but show a cruel smile on his face.

Just now discovered? It's too late, okay? Ha ha!

Well, what Wei Lide didn't know was that the stunned expressions on Tang Jun's faces were really not pretended! But—

However, the content of their astonishment was far from what Wei Lide imagined.

The content of their consternation was that long before they laid the ambush, His Royal Highness the King of Shu had given an order.

When they chase out of the depression and encounter the opposing infantry, they must destroy the opposing infantry as much as possible.

When they rushed out of the depression just now, they were still wondering in their hearts, where was the opposing infantry?

Where is the opposing infantry?

Originally, they were still confused in their hearts, and the order issued by His Highness was to destroy their infantry as much as possible when they saw them.

But what if you can't touch it?

Just when they were puzzled, what they never expected was that the enemy's infantry actually appeared out of force right under their noses.

It's really, so cooperative with them!

Originally, they were thinking about how to pursue them!

Where is the pursuit still used?

People took the initiative to send it to the door!

Because things changed so quickly, for a while, they didn't react.

In a short time, the infantry was within range of their crossbow arrows.

Where are the Tang soldiers still polite to them, they suddenly pulled their heads and shot wildly.

The infantry of the Great Eclipse suddenly fell in pieces.

But these soldiers, who are not afraid of death, go forward one after another, and still move forward with difficulty.

In a short time, these infantry were getting closer and closer to the steel chariot.

Wei Lide's face couldn't help but show excitement.

That's great!

It's really great!

As long as the infantry surrounded them, the soldiers would soon be able to climb onto the steel chariots.

When the time comes, all the advantages of these steel chariots will cease to exist.

However, the next moment, with a roar, the steel chariots collectively started and ran.

Ran away...... Finish......

This scene directly made Wei Lide stupid.

How can they run?

How can they run?

They, uh, they would have run......

People are originally steel chariots, and they can run!

People stop there because they have a greater advantage.

But that doesn't mean people can't run.

If it is replaced by cavalry, it will also suffer heavy losses if it is surrounded and then run.

Because there was no advantage in speed, the cavalry would even be restrained by the infantry.

And what about the steel chariot?

Will it be the same as cavalry?

And the infantry of Da Shi has already divided some of them to surround the steel chariots of Datang.

But Datang's steel chariot turned a blind eye to the people who surrounded them in front.

I quickened the throttle a little and slammed into it.

The big soldiers who were besieging in front were panicked at this time.

But in order to fulfill their command of Allah's sword, they also let it go.

Closing his eyes, he revealed a tragic emotion of seeing death as if he were at home.

duang!

The next moment, he got his wish and really died!

It's miserable, it's miserable!

And, death is worthless.

Because it did not cause the slightest damage to Datang's steel chariot.

The big food infantry in the back, with the lessons of the past, where will they go to death again, and hurriedly dodge.

It's a pity that this is not a car, but a convoy.

Those big eaters, with a twist of their buttocks, dodged it, and this time it passed.

As soon as the butt twisted, I didn't dodge, and this life is over!

The Great Eclipse Infantry who was surrounded in front was soon knocked out of sight.

And behind, those big food infantry are still in hot pursuit.

Seeing this scene, even Xue Rengui, the general of the Tang Dynasty, didn't understand it.

The leader of the Great Food, is it the undercover agent of our Datang faction in the past? Is it so cooperative?

This is the rhythm of fear that we will not be able to annihilate them!

So, Xue Rengui quickly issued an order to ask the steam three-wheeled drivers to reduce their speed so as not to pull the distance away.

Then the order to shoot was given on one side.

As a result, the chasing soldiers of the Great Food began to fall in pieces.

At this time, these big food soldiers finally reacted.

Are we here in a hurry to die?

At this time, Wei Lide, the commander of the Great Food, also reacted.

His previous methods of dealing with cavalry were useless in the face of the steel chariots of the Tang Dynasty.

Willid, quickly gave the order to retreat.

It's a pity that Datang's steam three-wheeled team was originally going to destroy them.

How could they be allowed to retreat?

Datang's steam tricycle convoy immediately turned around and began to follow them, shooting at them wildly.

Datang's steam tricycle is even more annoying than the cavalry.

I really can't catch up, I can't run away, and I'm being eaten.

If the infantry encounters the cavalry, it can support it for a while by relying on the formation.

But when it comes to Datang's steam three wheels, it's really not easy to make any formation.

If you can't think of a solution, these 20,000 infantry will be eaten by the Tang Dynasty sooner or later.

And, Wei Lide believes that this time will not be too late.

At this time, even if you fill all the remaining cavalry into it, it is useless.

In front of the steel chariots of the Tang Dynasty, the cavalry had to be beaten without moving.

So, how do you escape?

Willid is worthy of the sword of Allah of the Great Food, and before that, he was the general of Yum.

Willier quickly came up with a brilliant solution.

That is to get the help of the cavalry, to set up barricades on the road.

The infantry can pass by calmly, but the steel chariot of the Tang Dynasty is not so easy to pass.

Seeing this scene, Li Su understood that it would be difficult for Datang to make progress today.

So, he immediately gave the order to stop the pursuit and clean up the battlefield.

In this battle, the Tang army annihilated more than 30,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry.

In total, nearly 50,000 troops of the Great Eclipse were wiped out.

On the Tang side, there were less than 100 soldiers killed in total, which can be said to be a hearty victory.

At present, the strength of the two sides has been basically equal.

In terms of morale, it is even more different.

At present, the situation in the Anxi Prefecture has been completely stabilized.

And next, to attack and defend, the situation has been completely controlled by Li Su.

If you want to defend it, you only need to wait until the arrival of the Tang Dynasty's army.

I believe that during this period, the Great Food Army will never dare to act rashly.

Even, in order to avoid greater losses, they will take the initiative to withdraw from the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

But this is definitely not Li Su's style!

Since you dare to invade my Datang, you must be ready to be destroyed!

Next, Li Su decided to teach the Great Food Empire a lesson that he would never forget.

Let them deeply feel how wrong it is to dare to invade the territory of Datang!
