The Umayyad Dynasty of the Great Food Country is the Great Food in White, and now the Great Food Country is implementing the tribal military organization system in which all the people are soldiers, which is very similar to the previous Huns, and the later Black Clothes Great Food slowly began to implement the professional military system.

The army of the Great Food Country is divided into a navy and an army, and the navy has just emerged, which is too far from the navy of the Byzantine Empire, which has a long-lost weapon called "Hellfire", which almost wiped out the navy of the Great Food Country that attacked it.

The army of the Great Food Country is divided into cavalry and infantry, and the cavalry is the mainstay, the infantry accounts for only a minority, the cavalry of the Great Food Country is divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry, the heavy cavalry is wearing heavy armor regardless of the people and horses, and the war horses used are tall and strong eating horses, and the light cavalry is divided into war horse light cavalry and camel light horse.

The cavalry riding skills of the Great Food Country are very exquisite, the sprint speed of the war horse is fast, the collision force is strong, the mobility and flexibility are stronger than the Tang cavalry, and the camel cavalry has strong endurance, which is more suitable for desert marching than the war horse, carries more food and drinking water, and is far stronger than the war horse cavalry in terms of logistics, suitable for long-distance running operations.

After Saeed returned to his main formation, he took the lead in giving the order to attack, and the three thousand heavily armored iron horsemen dispatched two thousand, and the two thousand heavy armored iron horsemen galloped wildly and produced a great momentum, the sound of horses' hooves was like rolling thunder, and the ground in front of them was shaking.

Zhao Ziliang saw Said's move, he did not hesitate, and ordered: "Three thousand cavalry will be dispatched on the left and right wings, and they will immediately carry out cavalry shooting when they enter the firing range, and they can abandon the bow to engage until they are close range, and the remaining two thousand cavalry will not move in place!" ”

Said dispatched the Chinese army, while Zhao Ziliang dispatched two wings, but it was not the tip of the needle against Maimang, but you hit my Chinese army, and I hit your two wings!

Zhao Ziliang's move made Said a little confused, but he did not hesitate, he must fight, otherwise the two thousand heavy armored iron cavalry rushed out by the Chinese army would be outflanked in the middle, and he immediately ordered the cavalry on both wings to send one thousand light cavalry to meet the light cavalry rushing from the left and right flanks of the Tang army.

The sound of trumpets, loud shouts of killing, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of being shot by arrows swept and enveloped the entire battlefield, and the two wings of the two sides first touched, and arrows like locusts flew densely in the sky, and finally fell on the soldiers on both wings of both sides, and the cavalry fell like wheat was cut, trampled into a pulp by the horses of their companions.

Dirt and grass clippings flew in the air, blood splashed in the air, after a few rounds of arrows, the front rows of the two wings of the two sides finally touched and collided, and in an instant people turned on their backs, a large number of screams and the neighing of war horses resounded throughout the world at this moment, and the soldiers on both sides fell from their horses one by one, and the latecomers continued to rush forward.

Both flanks were light cavalry, unarmoured, not even leather-armoured, they were faster, more maneuverable, but with almost zero protection, and even the worst arrow could easily kill them. The barbarian cavalry of the ten tribes of the Western Turks did not want to be equipped with armor, they thought that armor would affect their slashing and salvo on horseback, and the animal skin clothes they wore were equivalent to leather armor, and the cavalry of the Great Food Country did not have armor before, but they gradually realized the importance of armor in the battle against Constantinople, so they formed heavy armored cavalry, but the cost of forming heavy armored iron cavalry was too high, only a small part could be formed, and most of them still maintained the formation of light cavalry, However, the light cavalry were armed with leather armor and leather helmets, and some generals had iron or bronze helmets with pointed tops.

And at this time in the middle of the battlefield, the two thousand heavy armored iron cavalry of the Great Food Country had already rushed through half of the distance, and soon rushed to the front of the three thousand cavalry of the Tang Army, the front row of the Tang Army cavalry were very nervous, after all, this is a heavy armored iron horse, these big cannibal heavy armored iron cavalry wrapped the whole body and the war horse tightly, and even the helmet had a vertical iron to protect the bridge of the nose, whether it was a horse armor or a cavalry armor was shining, and the scimitar in their hands flashed with cold light.

Zhao Ziliang stood on the top of the hill and saw that the opponent's ironclad cavalry had rushed over half the distance, so he ordered: "Order the Chinese army to retreat backwards, wait for the enemy to rush within the range of the cavalry bow, and shoot backwards while retreating!" If the enemy's heavy cavalry stops, then our middle army will also stop, but they must not be allowed to exceed the range of the bow and arrow, in short, the enemy heavy cavalry will not be contacted! ”

"No!" The herald promised to give the order immediately, and the trumpeter blew the horn, and the standard-bearer was responsible for passing the order by waving the flag.

The order was quickly conveyed, and the three thousand Tang troops sent by the Governor's Mansion of Broken Leaves have carried out this kind of tactical training of archery while retreating, commonly known as Parthian tactics, after all, this army was built by Zhao Ziliang at the beginning, even if it is now a matter of people, and it is a soldier who is a so-called iron-clad battalion, but the military soul he originally forged for this army has been retained, and now many generals and officers in the army were trained by him personally, and they all inherited his operational ideas and tactical ideas, and they quickly understood Zhao Ziliang's intentions, And made the most effective command.

Waiting for the heavy cavalry of the Great Food Army to enter the range of the Tang Army's cavalry bow, the three thousand light cavalry of the Tang Army also completed the process of changing the front to the rear and the rear to the front, and the leading general Wei Meng was also one of the cronies and subordinates who followed Zhao Ziliang back then, he faithfully carried out Zhao Ziliang's order, and with his order, the three thousand Tang Army light cavalry began to gallop to the rear, and the rows of Tang cavalry rode their horses while turning around and releasing arrows to the heavy cavalry of the Great Food Country.

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

Rows of Tang cavalry kept firing arrows, but the heavy cavalry of the Great Food Country was not equipped with a cavalry bow, and although the light cavalry of the Great Food Country Light Cavalry was also equipped with a recurve bow, it could not be compared with the Tang Army cavalry in terms of range and lethality, and the heavy cavalry of the Great Food Country could only brave arrows like raindrops while pursuing.

The heavy cavalry of the Great Food Empire is the heavy cavalry of the Byzantine Empire, and the armor and vest are also very thick, which means that it has strong protection, but at the same time it sacrifices flexibility and great mobility, these tall Great Food Country war horses have the ability to sprint at high speeds, but they cannot last in endurance, which is its strength and weakness.

The arrows clanged into the thick armor of the Great Eclipse Heavy Cavalry Corps, but they could not penetrate the armor, and only a handful of unfortunate Great Eclipse Heavy Cavalry or horses were shot in joints or weakly protected parts and fell, thus tripping over their companions behind.

Wei Meng, the leading general of the Tang cavalry, rode a tall war horse and ran at the rear, he saw that the arrows of the soldiers under his command shot out in waves but had little effect, and he could not break the protection of the opponent's thick armor at all, he immediately let out a loud roar: "All the armor-piercing arrows!" ”

Lieutenants of each battalion, regimental captain, brigade commander and other officers and officers of each platoon immediately conveyed Wei Meng's order verbally, and the Tang cavalry took out the armor-piercing arrows after hearing the order, this armor-piercing production process is much more difficult than ordinary arrows, mainly the arrow part, the general arrow only has two blades, no armor-piercing edges, and the armor-piercing arrows have two armor-piercing edges in addition to two blades, this armor-piercing edge is easy to break through the general iron armor, and each of the Tang cavalry under Wei Meng is usually only equipped with five armor-piercing arrows, It's just that it is much more difficult to make it than ordinary arrows, and the armor-piercing arrow used by Zhao Ziliang is different, it has four armor-piercing edges, even if the protective goggles are penetrated by the armor-piercing arrows shot by his treasure eagle bow.

Rows of cavalry of the Tang army have shot out armor-piercing arrows, after the armor-piercing arrows were shot, the effect was immediately apparent, most of the heavy cavalry in the arrows fell off their horses, almost all the equipment of the empire in this era was not industrialized and mass-produced, but was made by hand, even if the plate armor of the Byzantine Empire was stamped out with water pressure, but there were differences in thickness, and there was no unified scale standard, and the measurement accuracy of this era was not flattering.

Some of the big food heavy cavalry who fell off their horses tripped the heavy cavalry behind, so that a chain reaction was formed, and it was not easy for the heavy cavalry to stop suddenly at high speed, and the strong collision force continued to knock the companions in front of them into the air, and even they couldn't control their bodies and flew out, and were trampled into meat by the companions who rushed up from behind.

At this time, the heavy cavalry that rushed up to speed couldn't stop at all, and they couldn't stop, and the generals and officers had no time to care about casualties, but brandished their scimitars and shouted loudly to command the heavy cavalry to chase the Tang army light cavalry, and the pursued Tang cavalry kept turning back and shooting arrows, and the arrows that came brought them great casualties, and they found that they could never catch up with the enemy in front, while the enemy in front could keep shooting arrows to kill them, this feeling was too aggrieved and angry, but there was nothing to be done, The greater the casualties, the more unwilling the remaining heavy cavalry became, and in a fit of rage, they vowed to catch up with the Tang cavalry in front and cut them into meat sauce.

Zhao Ziliang clearly saw on the hill that the two thousand heavy cavalry kept chasing the three thousand Tang army light cavalry, but they were shot so that they kept falling on the way to pursuit, and they never caught up, and they were not willing to stop, at this time they had rushed past the cavalry left on the left and right flanks of the Tang army, and there were two thousand cavalry from the ten tribes of the Western Turks on the left and right wings of the Tang army.

Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered: "Chen Qing, give the order to the two thousand cavalry left on the left and right wings, and order them to release arrows at the Dashi Heavy Cavalry who are pursuing our army!" ”

Although this move may not have much effect on the strong protective power of the big food heavy cavalry, maybe the arrows can't break the defense at all, but at least it can play a role in harassment, the powerful protection is incomparable, there is no armor-piercing arrows can not help these big food heavy cavalry at all, some harassment from the left and right flanks can at least distract the attention and energy of these big food heavy cavalry.

At this time, Said, who was on the high ground behind the Great Food Army Formation, found an abnormality on the battlefield, and this tactic adopted by the Tang Army made him feel bad, his heavy cavalry could not catch up with the Tang Army's light cavalry, but he had been attacked by a large number of arrows, and he had no way to take the other party, he immediately shouted: "Quickly order the heavy cavalry to withdraw!"
