20,000 people huddled together can see a dense piece of human heads, but when 200,000 people are crowded together, you will find that you still see a dense group of human heads, if you don't look down from the sky, you can't find the difference between 20,000 and 200,000.

Together, all the Byzantine armies numbered more than 200,000, and they were a city wall with no head in sight.

On the opposite side of the Byzantines, more than 40,000 Tang troops also set up a formation, and the communication trenches were connected to each other, forming a network similar to a spider's web.

This is something that the 92nd Division spent one night and half a day to sort out, and in the face of more than 200,000 Byzantines, Long Yi planned to join forces with the 93rd Division and give them a head-on attack first.

The Byzantine commander was also a little dumbfounded after seeing the layout of the Tang army for the first time, he really couldn't figure out what the Tang army wanted to do with only a small head, could it be that digging a lot of ravines in the ground could stop the cavalry? If that's the case, it's better to dig a bigger one, at least the war horse can't jump over.

However, although the Byzantine commander couldn't figure it out, he was not frightened, looking at the ravines, the old guy sent all 50,000 slave legions, intending to use these slaves to test first, even if he couldn't test the depth of the formation of the Tang Dynasty, in his opinion, he could fill those trenches with corpses.

The Slave Legion was a collection of Byzantine captives from years of fighting against the enemy, and they were cannon fodder on the battlefield, mainly used to consume the enemy's long-range attack weapons.

According to the experience of the Byzantines, about one-fifth of these 50,000 men would die when they rushed to the enemy's position, and the remaining four-fifths would become entangled with the enemy, at which point the enemy's bows and arrows would be useless due to confusion.

This time, however, his experience seemed to be being challenged, and the army of 50,000 slaves rushed forward, and before they were halfway there, a fifth of them had already fallen, and the remaining four-fifths had begun to cower.

The Tang Army's counterattack was too powerful, and the kind of weapon that could make a loud noise was simply a nightmare for everyone, and every time it sounded, countless people would fall down screaming, and there would be an extra bloody hole in the body.

No one likes to die unclear, and slaves do the same, they go to battle because they will be free if they win the battle.

But if all of them die on the battlefield, knowing that there is death and no life, even slaves will not rush forward with one mind.

The Byzantine general quickly discovered that the situation was wrong, and the experienced commander decisively ordered that he again send 50,000 cavalry, chasing after the slave legion and rushing forward.

The slaves must not be allowed to return, otherwise the formation will definitely be impacted, and the morale will be greatly damaged, and if it is not easy to rush up this time, if it is retreated, no one will dare to rush to the battle next time.

Long Yi stood on a high platform, looking at the situation on the battlefield with a telescope from a distance, and every move of the Byzantines was hidden under the telescope, so he soon discovered the enemy's purpose, and decisively ordered: "Order, all troops concentrate on preparing to meet the enemy." Also, send a signal to the Ninety-fourth Division, they can come back. ”

"Yes!" The herald excitedly agreed and ran away, and in a short time, there were already flares rising in the air, and then, one after another flares rose in the distance.

……

The gunfire on the front line became more and more intense, and with the assault of the Byzantine cavalry, the new rifles of the first and second lines of defense in front rang out at the same time, and the massacre officially began at this moment.

The 50,000 slave regiments were already less than 200 paces away from the position of the 92nd Division, but their numbers were only half of what they had started with.

The whole battlefield was filled with the sound of wailing, and there were countless wounded and dead slaves lying underground, who fought for almost everything for freedom, even if all they called was their thin clothes and the lives that no one would look at at them.

In the eyes of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, there are only enemies surging up like a tide in front of them, although those enemies are ragged, old and young, but the enemy is the enemy, not the enemy of my race.

Since the day the Tang soldiers joined the army, some people have been telling them that if they want to be a wife and a son, they will fight bravely on the battlefield and use the enemy's blood to exchange for their future.

In a foreign land, any pity for the enemy is cruel to oneself and irresponsible for one's own life, so no matter what they think in their hearts, the weapons in their hands have never stopped.

This time they no longer had to shoot at the sky, and those stupid enemies were like targets, they didn't know what it meant to dodge, they didn't know what it meant to be afraid, they were like crazy people.

Kill, kill them, kill them and go home, the parents at home are still waiting for them, the children at home who are waiting to be fed are also waiting for them, and the wife who has just married is also leaning on the door.

Kill all the enemies and go home! This is Long Yi's last pre-war mobilization, and it is also the only thought in the hearts of the Tang soldiers.

Pull the bolt, load, aim, fire, and pick up the bolt...... A series of actions were mechanically completed by each soldier of the 92nd Division and the 93rd Division, and then watched as the enemy fell one after another in the distance.

The lethality of the rifle coupled with the stupidity of the enemy made the Tang army go up to Long Yi and down to the guy, and no one could raise the slightest interest.

At first, the apprehension in my heart when I watched the enemy rush up has become numb as more and more enemies have fallen, as if an adult is fighting a three-year-old child, and it is completely one-sided.

The Byzantines also seemed to sense that something was wrong, the strength of the Tang army was completely different from what the intelligence suggested, and God knows how the city lord of Minni burned so much grain and grass for them with five thousand men that day.

Finally, when the slave legion was about to die, the Byzantine commander finally realized what was happening and shouted: "Order the cavalry to withdraw, withdraw immediately, we have been tricked, let them withdraw quickly!" ”

"Second Highness, it's too late, now the cavalry can't be withdrawn at all, and a hard retreat will only lose more people, it's better to let them keep rushing up, as long as they rush into the main formation of the Tang Army, the victory is still ours." The corners of Iric's eyes jumped wildly, but intellectually he had to persuade the second prince who led the army this time.

You must know that cavalry combat relies on indomitable momentum, if you stop halfway through, and then turn back, under the attack of the Tang Army's weapons, it is estimated that half of the manpower can be lost in this turn.
