Chapter 1935: The End of Abuse (Part II)
The second prince of Byzantium was also a little confused at this time, 100,000 people just let him fill it in like this, if he retreats now, not to mention whether the cavalry can be withdrawn, even if it can, it is estimated that the 50,000 slave army will basically not be able to come back.
50,000 people, how much time is this, less than half an hour, even if you kill 50,000 pigs, it can't be so fast, right? But the reality in front of him told him that it was true.
Tang Jun's weapon didn't know what it was, anyway, as far as he knew, it wasn't a crossbow, because it was impossible for a crossbow to have such a loud sound, and even if it was, it was a 'buzz' sound, not a crisp 'woo' sound.
There is also such a weapon, which made his army unable to advance a hundred steps before the battle, making countless people fall on the way to attack, and also making countless people desperate.
After gradually coming back to his senses, the second prince finally couldn't help it, and roared like thunder: "Ilik, no matter what method you use, this king must break through the Tang Army's defense line today, and you must break it!" ”
Ilik is the second prince's right-hand man, otherwise it would be impossible to get the position of vanguard officer, looking at the situation in front of him, he said with a heart: "Your Royal Highness, you can only fight with the Tang army now, I don't believe it, 50,000 cavalry can't break through their defense line." ”
"Enough! Irik, you're misleading the country! An old man who had been following the second prince finally couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and couldn't help but say, and ordered directly: "From now on, you are no longer a general, stand back!" ”
"Why, why! I ......" Iric's mind was so confused that his thoughts froze.
"The king has given me the right to arbitrary, why do you say?" The old man took out a piece of paper from an unknown position on his body, opened it and saw a mess written on it, but the most conspicuous thing was the king's seal below.
Ilik was also a little dumbfounded at this time, the old man in front of him was a national teacher, and now that he had that appointment letter, he naturally said what was what.
The second prince was also shocked when he watched from the side, and hurriedly got off the horse: "National teacher, this matter is all caused by Ilik's eagerness for quick success, what can the national teacher do to redeem it?" ”
The old man glanced at the second prince, and didn't say anything, just sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Withdraw the troops, if you can withdraw one, the defense line of the Tang army is not something we can capture now, leave some seeds for the cavalry." ”
"Okay, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops immediately." The two contradictory proposals were intertwined, but the second prince only thought about it for a moment before agreeing to the old man's proposal, and gave the order to withdraw the troops to the herald beside him.
After all, now the old man of the national teacher has the right to arbitrarily in his hands, if he dares to disagree, he will be removed immediately, considering his future status, it is impossible for the second prince not to compromise.
As for whether the cavalry that rushed forward could really be withdrawn, compared to the status, the second prince didn't care.
During the period of delay they were behind, the cavalry that had just set off from the rear had rushed to about three hundred steps in front of the Tang army's position, and a large number of slave corpses had greatly reduced the speed of their horses, and they had lost the momentum they had at the beginning.
However, the reason for the slowdown of the war horses is physical factors, and the great loss of morale is a psychological factor, no matter how stupid the cavalry is, they also know that the time when those slaves launched an attack was just half an hour ago, but in such a little time, 50,000 slaves have basically died.
This is no longer a war, but a death!
'Woo ......', another dense burst of gunfire rang out, but the Byzantine cavalry had learned well, and they all kept their bodies low, trying to hide themselves behind their horses.
But even so, there are still countless cavalry falling, bullets can't hit them doesn't mean they can't hit the horses, those high-speed rushing horses are also flesh and blood, they will hurt when hit by bullets, and they will also be injured, and it is natural for the injured war horses to fall.
The killing is still going on, the war has been fought to this extent, those Byzantine cavalry know very well that retreating is death, and if they want to survive, they can only use the speed of war horses to rush to the position of the Tang army, and they can only be safe if they are strangled together with the Tang army.
It was the first time they had encountered a hot weapon, and the dazed Byzantine cavalry did not even know the name of the weapon.
But in the face of death, people will always burst out of endless potential, and the cavalry who does not want to die on the battlefield can no longer take care of the distressed war horse, and the long knife in his hand desperately cuts the hip of the war horse, and the injured war horse immediately rushes forward like crazy.
Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, seeing that the position of the Tang army was close in front of him, as long as he tried a little harder, he could rush forward.
And at this time, the horn of the withdrawal of troops suddenly came to mind.
The Byzantine cavalry, who were already desperate, were all stunned when they heard the sound of the horn, and at the cost of paying nearly one percent of their colleagues, they finally rushed to the position, and the steel crossbow in their hands could also exert their power, so that Mao had to withdraw his troops? Which side of the hell is the person who gave the order, pig teammate?
But an order is an order, disobedience on the battlefield is death, even if the Tang army's defense line is really taken in the end, there will be no good fruit to eat.
And even if the cavalry in front wanted to rush, but the cavalry behind didn't want to, and the cavalry behind them had already begun to start when they heard the order.
So at the moment when the Tang defense line was close at hand, the Byzantine cavalry began to retreat, only this time when they retreated, they again left nearly 10,000 corpses.
However, the Byzantine cavalry was depressed, and the Tang army was also depressed, obviously they had prepared the iron pineapple, and they were ready to wait for the Byzantines to get closer to give them some powerful taste, but as a result, these bastards took off their pants and let out a sullen fart and left, without even making a sound, how could this make the Tang army not depressed.
Long Yi beat his chest even more angrily, in order to deceive those Byzantine cavalry, he specially ordered half of the troops to stop shooting, but the enemy came and left, leaving behind a corpse, but did not give him a chance to show his might.
If this had been known, it would have been better to let the Zhenguan cannon be prepared as soon as possible, and then pull the rocket troops up, and as long as they had two fires, they would be able to destroy half of their cavalry.
But it's too late to say anything now, the Byzantines have already retreated, if Long Yi wants to attack, then he must wait for Hou Junji's order, otherwise if the other colleagues are not ready, he will shoot out, it is estimated that the Byzantines will immediately turn around and flee.
This is the first time that Long Yi has discovered that when he is strong to a certain extent, it is also difficult to fight, and it is not ordinarily difficult. (https:)
