Chapter 12: The Defeat of Ziad (Part II)
"Array, prepare for battle!"
Ziad is Ziyad, although he is shocked and shocked, but there is no lack of courage to fight.
He knew very well how powerful the Mo Dao Battle Array was, but it was not impossible for him to retreat without a fight, and that was not something that he Ziad could do.
"Array, array!" One after another, military orders were passed down, and the Great Food Army was busy arraying.
Forming a formation and dealing with the Mo Dao battle formation with a dignified formation is the best way to deal with it. However, it was destined to be impossible. The battle formation of the Great Food Army was not lined up in the first place, and it was rushed to pieces by the Long Wu Army. Li Changguo didn't give Ziad a chance to line up at all, and directly ordered the Modao battle formation to press up and deal a heavy blow to the Great Food Army.
The Modao battle array was already close at hand, and it was too late to line up, so Ziad had to make a decision immediately and shouted: "Archer, prepare!" Put! ”
"Woohoo!"
Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and I saw countless arrows shooting towards the Mo Dao battle array, like a huge arrow net, falling from the sky, covering the Mo Dao battle array.
"Ahhh The screams continued, and some Tang soldiers were shot dead and wounded.
The casualties mainly came from the knife hand, they were not wearing Mingguang armor, and their protective ability was worn, which was not as good as the Mo knife hand, and it was inevitable that they would be injured and die.
As for the Mo Dao Hands, their armor protection ability is excellent, although they are not as good as the Long Wu Army, but they are not much different. Because every Mo knife hand is a strong man who has been selected by thousands of people, all of them are treasures, of course, they must be protected. For this reason, the Tang Dynasty invested a lot of money in Mo Dao Shou, building it like a steel monster, not afraid of bows and arrows.
"It's a pity, this is the siege, otherwise, there would not be such casualties." Listening to the screams of the soldiers, Li Changguo was very sorry.
He led the Tang army to hurry to relieve the siege of Khotan, and the crossbow could not come in handy, and it was impossible to carry out a long-range attack on the Great Food, otherwise, the Great Food Army would have a good time.
Although the strong crossbow is infinitely powerful and is a big killer in the era of cold weapons, however, the strong crossbow is too cumbersome and has a broad place to use in a dignified array duel, and it is difficult to use it in this kind of battle to break the siege.
Therefore, this casualty is a price that must be paid.
"Archer, shoot!" Li Changguo gave an order, and the archers who followed the Modao battle array exerted their might to suppress the Great Food Army from a distance.
The Tang army's archery skills were extraordinary, and even the Turks, who were good at archery, could not necessarily gain the upper hand. The archers of the Tang Army were very powerful, and countless arrows appeared in the air, covering the Great Food Army.
"Ahhh The screams came and went, and there were many arrows among the great food soldiers, and there were many dead and wounded.
However, to Li Changguo's dissatisfaction, the number of archers was too small to form an overwhelming advantage over the Great Eclipse army.
It was not that the Tang army did not have enough archers, but because the Silk Road was only so wide, it was impossible to rush so many archers at once.
After Li Changguo solved the Dashi army stationed at the exit of the Silk Road, after a short rest, he led the Tang army to set off and went straight to Khotan. The Tang army led by Li Changguo was only more than 10,000 people, not that Li Changguo didn't want to bring more men and horses, but the time was really pressing, and he couldn't wait any longer.
Khotan is in critical condition, there is no need to think about it, reinforcements are urgently needed, and Li Changguo can only lead so many Tang troops to come.
These Tang troops were arranged by Li Changguo when he set out in the land of Hehuang, and when he set out, Li Changguo planned the war after entering the Western Regions and sent the corresponding troops.
The Mo Dao battle array braved the rain of arrows and pressed against the Great Food Army.
"Shoot! Shoot fast! "Ziad is a rare good general, and he saw the advantages of the Great Food Army at a glance, and loudly ordered the Great Food Army to shoot with bows and arrows.
In the duel of bows and arrows, the archers of the Tang army were insufficient, did not have an advantage, and were suppressed by the Great Food Army, and the casualties continued to increase.
Despite this, the Modao battle array was not chaotic, and under the command of Li Changguo, it was lined up in a neat battle formation, pressed up, getting closer and closer, and was about to enter hand-to-hand combat.
Looking at the Mo Dao battle array with flickering sword light, cold sweat broke out on Ziade's forehead, with his thoughts, it was best to distance himself, fight with the Mo Dao battle array, consume the physical strength of the Mo Dao battle array, and wait until the physical strength of the Mo Dao hand was almost consumed, and then come to the decisive battle. This is the only way to deal with the Modao Battle Array, and it is also the most correct way.
However, what drove Ziad mad was that it was impossible for him to use this method at the moment, because if he had resorted to fighting, he would have lost the last hope of attacking Khotan.
If he adopts a guerrilla fight, it will be tantamount to ceding all the cities of Khotan to Li Changguo, and Li Changguo can calmly transfer troops to clean up the Dashi army in the city and regain control of Khotan.
You don't have to think about it to know that the Tang army led by Li Changguo is just the vanguard of the Tang army, and after that, there are countless Tang troops coming, and as time goes by, the advantage of the Tang army will become greater and greater, and it will be even more unfavorable to Ziade.
Therefore, the best choice is to fight to the death with the Tang army before the main force of the Tang army arrives, and it is best if the Tang army can be defeated. Even if he could not defeat the Tang army, he did his last effort.
"Kill! Rush up and kill all the Chinese! Ziad pulled out his scimitar sharply, and with a flick of his wrist, a beautiful knife flower flashed.
"Kill all the Chinese!" The Great Eater burst out with a terrifying roar, brandishing his scimitar and rushing forward like a splash of wind.
The eyes of the Great Food Soldier were shining, energetic, and excited, looking at Tang Jun as if a hunter was looking at his prey.
For the Great Food Soldiers, although they knew that the Modao Battle Array was very powerful, they didn't have Ziade's vision, and they didn't know that it was incomprehensible. However, they are not lacking in courage, as long as the military order is given, they will charge, they will advance, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they will also charge.
Not to mention, since entering the Western Regions, they have not faced the Tang army head-on, they are only attacking the Tang army that is based on a strong city, which makes them very unhappy. Now, there is finally a good opportunity to vent, and they certainly won't miss it.
"Kill all the big dogs!"
"Avenge the brethren!"
Not to be outdone, the Tang army erupted into a shocking roar.
The two charging armies are like two stormy waves, the momentum is shocking, neither of them will let anyone, and each of them wants to overwhelm the other.
Three thousand Mo knives were raised high, bright and shining, shining in the light, making people's hearts tremble.
Finally, the two high-speed advancing armies collided violently, bursting out countless blood, and a wave of blood suddenly formed, shining in the daylight, a piece of red, indescribably weird, bewitching, and eye-catching.
It's a spectacle!
"Poof!" There was a sound of flesh and blood smashing, as if by magic, and the otherwise empty ground suddenly became more than countless stumps and broken arms, broken internal organs, fragmented flesh, and surging blood.
With just one breath, the ground is red, like a wonderful picture sketched by an art handsome, magnificent and magnificent, gorgeous and colorful.
At the moment when the two armies collided, the Mo knife that was originally raised high slashed down, like thunder and lightning, and the power was terrifying. This split is terrible, the Great Food Army, which was originally charging at high speed, whether it was a person or a horse, was "dismembered" and became dismembered, and there was no human appearance.
Even their internal organs will be crushed by the Mo knife.
Even if it is not crushed by the Mo knife, it will be trampled by the feet and hooves of people.
The blood pouring from their bodies stained the ground red.
In the blink of an eye, a huge lake of blood appeared on the ground, on which the broken minced flesh was loaded and floated, and at first glance, it looked like a demon was raging.
The Great Food Soldier who had been at the forefront disappeared out of thin air as if by magic, leaving only an open space.
If it weren't for the flesh and blood of the earth that proved that they once existed, they would have thought that their Allah had summoned him away.
With this collision alone, the Great Food Army paid a high price. On the other hand, the Tang army's casualties were small and almost negligible.
After the Mo knife slashed, the Great Food Army suffered heavy casualties, and there were very few Great Food soldiers who could rush through the Mo Dao slash, so few that they could be ignored. Even if they escaped the blow of the Mo Knife, however, what awaited them was the horizontal knife held high by the knife hand, and after a burst of horizontal swords, these last remaining Great Food Soldiers died no longer to die.
The Modao battle array is unsolvable in the era of cold weapons, and it is impossible to defeat the Modao battle array if it wants to be hard to shake head-on, which fully proves this.
Hundreds of great food soldiers died, even the meat grinder didn't have such a fast speed, right?
"Damn Modao! Damn the Chinese, they have such a devilish weapon! Ziad saw it clearly, his heart was dripping blood, and he cursed.
"Kill!" However, Ziad still gave a loud order to eat the army and kill him.
This result was not unexpected in his expectation, but it only made him angry.
"Kill as many as you come!" Li Changguo was not surprised by Ziad's reaction, which was in his calculations.
With Ziade's surname, if he retreats after a slight setback, then he is not Ziade, and it is his reaction to lead the Great Food Army to kill again.
"Kill all the big dogs!"
"Avenge the brethren!"
Tang Jun's shouts of killing rang out, and he was full of energy and slashed hard.
"Kill all the Chinese!"
The Great Food Army is the elite of the baptism of war, famous all over the world, although the lethality is not as good as the Tang Army, but it is not afraid at all, and it rushes to kill, and the Tang Army is a group of killing.
"Cavalry, sortie!" With a wave of Ziad's hand, the Great Eclipse cavalry launched an attack from both flanks against the flanks of the Modao battle array.
"Rumble!" The Great Food Cavalry is well-trained, well-equipped, experienced by the people, and has a world-famous excellent war horse: the Arab war horse, this charge, the momentum is extraordinary, earth-shattering, like a whirlwind towards the two wings of the Modao battle array.
"What a fine war horse! It is worthy of being the war horse that the world hears! Looking at the tall Arab war horse, Li Changguo's eyes were full of stars, and he was very envious.
With a wave of Li Changguo's right hand, the cavalry of the Tang Army met him and slaughtered them.
Although the Tang army was well-equipped and far above the Great Food Army, after all, the strength was not superior, and it was far inferior to the Great Food Army. It was precisely because of the huge superiority in forces that Ziad dared to give it a go.
The two armies were indistinguishable from each other for a while, and you went back and forth to kill each other.
"Rumble!" Suddenly, another earth-shattering hoof sounded, and a Tang army came from the east.
