Chapter 1933 (Page 1/1)

Minni City is a vast Gobi to the south, and the Caspian Sea is to the east, and the 'retreating' Tang Army can't escape the eyes of the pursuers at all, and they can be seen fleeing in panic more than ten miles away.

Iric also fought this time, and after seeing the back of his enemy fleeing, he desperately issued an order to pursue, and for a time 20,000 Byzantine cavalry swarmed out.

Long Yi's 92nd Division has been waiting for the Byzantines to attack, after all, acting is too tiring, obviously has the strength to completely inform the enemy, but has to flee, and also to escape from the momentum, which is too difficult for a group of arrogant generals.

"Ready for battle, the Byzantines have come up." Fleeing and fleeing, the sound of horses' hooves behind him was getting closer and closer, and a brigade in charge of the broken rear, nearly 5,000 people, stopped in turn in a straggler line.

"*&%¥......" The Byzantines' garbled shouts were getting closer, and for the first time they had seen someone facing the cavalry with a skirmish, the desire for victory made them speed up again.

"The world says that the Tang army is strong, I can't see Er'er, if the main force doesn't come up within two days, this time we should be able to get these 200,000 people." Iric looked at the battlefield from afar and said proudly.

In his opinion, the performance of the Tang Army was that the commander of the Tang Dynasty wanted to cut off his tail to survive, and exchanged the cost of a few thousand people for the smooth escape of hundreds of thousands of people. And such a situation will inevitably make the morale drop greatly, if the attack is done properly, it is completely possible to completely take down the 5,000 people who have been broken with a charge.

Although the entourage around Irik couldn't understand the situation on the battlefield, he still had the kung fu to pat on the back, and immediately after hearing the words, he was like a wave of sycophants, which sounded like a Byzantine military god, and the 200,000 Tang army could completely rely on 20,000 people to go down with a drum.

But is that really the case? The Ninety-second Division had already been ready for battle, waiting for the arrival of the Byzantines, five thousand men, thousands of new rifles, and began to shoot when the Byzantines were still more than three hundred paces away from them.

For a time, rows of gunfire rang out on the wilderness Gobi, and more than a thousand Byzantine fighters fell in just one round.

Their formation was so dense that the soldiers of the brigade that had been left to stop them had little to aim, but only aimed their guns at the densely packed cavalry ranks, and the salvo would not miss.

Looking at the results caused by his subordinates, the brigade commander of the 1st Brigade of the 92nd Division almost collapsed, and shouted in a hurry: "The muzzle of the gun is raised, the muzzle of the gun is raised, are you all pigs, I told you not to fight too hard, did you hear it!" ”

Of course, the soldiers of the 1st Brigade heard it, but who could watch the enemy pounce on him and empty his guns without sacrificing his exploits, so at the moment when the Byzantines hesitated, the second round of gunfire rang out again, and in the blink of an eye, more than a thousand people fell.

Almost instantly, the number of attackers was reduced by one-tenth, and such a change made Iric instantly stupid, almost unable to believe his eyes.

And how exactly did the Tang Army do it? It's so far away, but you can kill a tenth of your attacking troops at once, it's just incredible, it's better to say that you're fighting a war than to cast a demon spell.

......Just as Iric was hesitating to retreat, another round of gunfire rang out, but this time only about 300 people fell.

Three hundred people, such damage is still within a reasonable range, Iric breathed a sigh of relief, the secret path just now should have been some ambush laid by the Tang army on the battlefield in advance, and now that the ambush has been used up, the damage they caused is small.

All this is a long story, in fact, it only happened in a short moment, about 20,000 Byzantines were originally waiting to harvest the enemy's head, and the crossbow bought from the Tang Dynasty had already been taken into their hands, and they could attack only when they got close to a certain position.

However, the sudden three rounds of attacks stunned all the attacking Byzantine cavalry at once, and the fallen horses and soldiers became natural stumbling blocks, stopping their companions behind.

But even so, hundreds of people fell off their horses because they couldn't dodge, and their bones were broken.

At this moment, the advantage of the cavalry's high-speed advance was gone, and if you want to attack again, the horses do not have enough distance to accelerate, and the second is that the wounded soldiers are all over the ground to block the way.

"Withdraw, let them withdraw!" Seeing that he could not attack, Iric could only give the order to retreat and pull the hesitating soldiers down from the battlefield.

And at this time, the Tang army's resistance did not stop, the gunfire continued continuously, and with every breath, the Byzantine cavalry would fall off their horses and become victims on the battlefield.

Long Yi looked at the situation on the battlefield with a telescope from afar, and when he saw a salvo killing thousands of Byzantine people, he waved his fist excitedly, but quickly hammered his head in annoyance.

Damn, why can't you attack with all your might, when will the main army of Byzantium come up, this special battle is really too bad, obviously have the strength to annihilate the enemy at once, but they have to empty their guns to let them run away.

And Iric fell into a dilemma at this time, he didn't even touch the defense line of the Tang Army in an attack just now, and his side had already lost one-tenth or two-dozen men, and if he continued to attack, would he repeat the mistakes of the past?

But if you retreat, it seems that it is not easy to explain to the top, after all, you have only fought one battle, and you have to eat some platoons when you retreat and go back without even touching the bottom of the Tang Army.

……

In this way, the two sides confronted each other in place, the Tang army did not dare to attack for fear of scaring the Byzantines away, and the Byzantines decided to wait for the main force because the Tang army's counterattack was too resolute.

Time passed little by little, until the sky gradually darkened, and the two sides completely put away their posture of attack, and each set up camp to rest.

Unbeknownst to Irik, however, by the time he set up camp, an army of 30,000 men had already circled his flank and swooped down towards the junction of Byzantium and the Great Eclipse to the west.

At this time, outside the city of Minny, the main Byzantine army had finally arrived and was advancing along the route of their pursuit.

They had received the battle report two days ago, and after learning the news of the destruction of the Tang army's grain and grass, the main force of Byzantium almost gave up all the baggage troops, and rushed up in a hurry, intending to take the opportunity to beat the 'water dogs'.

After all, on the battlefield, after one side has no food and grass, it is almost no different from lambs to the slaughter, and after 'eating' them, Byzantium will be restored to its former glory just around the corner.
