The Tang infantry saw the enemy's infantry running to both sides, and then saw the enemy's cavalry charge, and they hurriedly followed the enemy's infantry to both sides, which exposed the Tang army's central army camp in front of the enemy.

Hemar was overjoyed and gave the order, and the iron cavalry poured like a flood towards Xue Rengui's Chinese army camp.

Hemar wants to defeat the Don Army in one fell swoop!

Xue Rengui couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the enemy cavalry directly attacking the camp of the Tang Army, and a stone that had been hanging in his heart for a long time finally landed.

The cavalry of the Tang army was too small, and if the enemy army used the advantage of cavalry to divide the Tang army, and the infantry of the Tang army fought with the enemy's cavalry, the result was that the Tang army would be defeated.

The advantage of the Tang army was the sharpness of the bow and crossbow, and Hemar was reluctant to use the cavalry to charge the formation, fearing that the cavalry would lose too much under the bow and crossbow of the Tang army.

He first used infantry to engage in battle, and after the melee between the two sides, the crossbowmen in the infantry of the Tang army lost their effect, and when the Arab cavalry charged again, the number of crossbowmen faced by them would be greatly reduced.

Xue Rengui just hoped that the enemy would do this, if the enemy's cavalry just now did not rush to the middle of the Tang army, but attacked the infantry of the Tang army, the infantry of the Tang army would suffer huge losses.

The infantry of the Tang army was defeated, and the enemy came to attack Xue Rengui's remaining troops, and the Tang army would definitely be defeated.

In front of the Chinese army were the troops of the 1st Infantry Division of the Don Army, and 6,000 crossbowmen among them fired arrows at the Arab cavalry.

When the enemy cavalry was 300 paces away, the first row of arrows fell into the ranks of the enemy cavalry, knocking over at least hundreds of enemy cavalry.

Immediately, the Tang army shot two rows of arrows at the enemy, three consecutive rounds of arrows, 18,000 arrows, and killed at least a thousand enemy cavalry.

However, for tens of thousands of Arab cavalry, there was basically no impact, and in the blink of an eye, the iron cavalry had approached the position of the Tang army.

The Arab warriors were armed with scimitars, ready to slash at the poor enemy infantry in front of them.

The infantry of the Tang army saw the rushing enemy iron cavalry, turned around and ran.

Now the Arab cavalry became even more excited, and they howled and charged forward.

When Hemar saw this, his face was also full of excitement.

Seeing that he was about to catch up with the infantry of the Tang Army, an accident happened.

The Arab cavalry in front fell to the ground one after another, and fell to pieces.

It turned out that during the period of confrontation between the two sides, the Tang army sappers dug dense horse traps on the ground, which were only the thickness of the bowl mouth and a foot deep, but they were enough to break the legs of the high-speed sprinting horses.

The infantry of the Tang Army can run between the pits, and the war horses that sprint at high speed can't avoid the dense pits!

In an instant, hundreds of Arabs' war horses fell to the ground.

Once the cavalry charge was launched, the inertia was huge, and the cavalry behind could not see the situation in front and kept rushing forward.

The cavalry of the Arabs was crowded together and in disarray.

Xue Rengui was waiting for this opportunity. He gave the order to attack.

6,000 crossbowmen of the 1st Infantry Division of the Tang Army, 4,000 crossbowmen of the 5th Cavalry Division, the Chinese Guards and the Flying Tiger Army crossbowmen shot at the Arab cavalry.

At such a close distance, in such a dense formation, the crossbowmen of the Tang Army did not need to aim at all.

The snipers in the Flying Tiger Army specially picked the officers of the enemy army to shoot, and Xue Rengui also personally bent his bow and shot several enemy generals.

The Arabs, suffering heavy casualties, began to retreat.

At this time, the real catastrophe has just begun!

The infantry of the Don army, which pursued the enemy's infantry, was exactly on the flanks of the Arab cavalry units, which were already outnumbered by the enemy's infantry, at this time, they divided part of their men against the enemy infantry, and the crossbowmen reflexively joined the attack on the enemy cavalry units.

The Tang Army's crossbowmen and crossbowmen surrounded the enemy cavalry on three sides had no less than 50,000 men!

The Arab confusion lasted for a full minute, and in that minute alone, the Don army fired at least 400,000 arrows.

The living Arabs desperately ran back, and at this time they were less than 10,000 people, and they were still falling under the pursuit of the Tang army's arrow rain.

In just this minute, the sappers of the Don Army had already laid shields on the ground and paved a passage for the 5th Cavalry Division of the Don Army.

The Arabs' cavalry fled back, and according to the requirements of the battle, they could not return directly to their own position, otherwise they would disrupt their position.

However, these cavalrymen were chased by the dense rain of arrows, and they couldn't care so much, so they rushed directly to Hemar's Chinese army.

Hemar immediately ordered arrows to be fired at the rebels, who fled to both flanks.

At this moment, the 5th Cavalry Division of the Don Army arrived.

Xue Rengui took the lead and entered the enemy formation.

Hemar did not expect that the situation of victory would be reversed so quickly. He knew that the tide was turning, and he took the lead in fleeing.

Back then, the Tang army used this tactic to defeat the Western Turks on the steppe, and Xue Rengui was very interested in this and once studied it carefully.

Xue Rengui is a master tactician, and when the two armies were facing each other, he actually laid a pocket formation on the Arab cavalry, but the end of the pocket was not pierced, and he used the Arab rout to disrupt his own Chinese army.

This classic battle column has become a teaching case of the military academy.

Tai Chi Hall, Li Su's office.

Wei Chigong finally brought good news, he said: "Your Majesty, the battle report sent by Xue Rengui!"

He led the Tang army and the Persian coalition army to defeat the Arabs in the city of Persian Rahma, destroying more than 80,000 enemies. The Arabs have withdrawn from the Persian province of Ontario. ”

After reading the detailed battle report, Li Su said with a smile: "This is a crucial battle, and after this battle, peace in Persia can be guaranteed for several years."

Now, you can concentrate on dealing with the Tibetans. ”

Tibetan front.

At the beginning, in order to cooperate with domestic drama, the Tang army on the Tibetan front stopped the offensive and retreated in some areas. Songtsen Gampo breathed a sigh of relief.

However, soon Songtsen Gampo was not happy.

After Hou Junji retreated across the Nu River, he established a bridgehead on the west bank of the Nu River. The Tang army brought in a large number of building materials, built a fortified castle, and built a chain bridge behind it.

The Tang army could attack the Tubo people at any time, but the Tubo people did not pose a threat to the Tang army on the east bank of the Nu River.

In accordance with Li Su's instructions, Hou Junji sent troops to deploy on the west bank of the Nujiang River to clear out the remnants of the armed forces in Tibet.

Su Dingfang's army controlled the basin between the Kunlun Mountains and the Qilian Mountains, built forts at the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains, and did not advance.

What Li Jing wants to do is a new strategy for expanding the territory in the future put forward by Li Jing.
