Chapter 189: The Beginning of a Legend

At dawn, the king of Linyi, Jiandravarman, sent Fan Xuan to send a war letter, asking the Tang army to fight a decisive battle in the middle of the coast and the city of Zhancheng, the reason why he asked for this was that he was afraid that the Tang army would turn around and escape in a battleship if it lost.

Xiao Qubing happily responded to the battle, leading two thousand and one hundred days of soldiers to the inward ~ land advance seven miles, lined up to meet the battle, less than nine o'clock in the morning, 15,000 Linyi country's most elite standing army arrived at the battlefield, a tragic battle is coming!

"All of them! Who are you? ”

"Tiance soldiers, wolves of the Eastern Capital!"

"Who is your commander?"

"King Lanling, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty!"

"How are you doing?"

"We are the strongest!"

"Do you have confidence in the battle below?"

"Yes! Kill them all! ”

"For most of you, this is the first big war since you joined the army. We only have two thousand one, and there are fifteen thousand opposite! But I'll tell you, we're going to have a lot of fights like this!

On this voyage, we only have a little more than 7,000 combatable troops, and less than 3,500 can land and fight! And our opponents are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands!

But don't be afraid, most of them are a group of untrained, unorganized and undisciplined savages, and their combat effectiveness you also saw yesterday, unorganized and vulnerable!

So no matter how many of them come, they are also a rabble, and what you need to do is, no matter what happens, at any time, don't be afraid, and don't retreat without permission! Believe in yourself and your comrades-in-arms!

If one of you quits, it's not just yourself who is harmed. It's also a comrade-in-arms by his side! Not only do you have to cut off your own head. Even your parents, wives and children will have their property confiscated. Drive out of Luoyang!

There are two ways, one is to run away and retreat, harming others and yourself; The second is to kill all the enemies in front of you, receive rewards for meritorious service, follow the commander to achieve supreme feats, and return home! Which way do you say you will choose? ”

"Kill them all!"

"Follow the commander to be rewarded for meritorious service!"

"Kill all the rabble!"

The military of the 2,100 Tiance Mansion roared loudly, and among them, except for the 300 Tiance veterans with incomparably brilliant achievements and glorious traditions, the remaining 1,800 infantry were newly recruited peasants who had lost their land.

Before they were displaced. Poorly clothed and hungry, since being selected to join the Tiance Mansion as a soldier, although the training is hard every day, but the food is excellent, there are at least four silver coins of silver every month, the family works in the workshop in Luoyang, the children are literate in the primary school, food, clothing and accommodation are covered by the king of Lanling, and they can get ahead in the future.

Almost overnight, the whole family was living a good life that they could not have dreamed of before. Chinese are the most family-oriented, and how can it be because of their own reasons now. What about getting the whole family back to that miserable, hopeless life?

Besides, these savages are too weak, and they are indeed very brave, but they do not know the slightest tactics of war, nor do they scout or probe, so they rush in a swarm, and then they are shot into a sieve.

And their weapons are too backward, without armor, bows and arrows can only shoot at most fifty paces away, such a rabble, even if there are many people, what is there to fear!

At this moment, the fighting spirit of the two thousand and one hundred days strategists has been ignited!

It didn't take long for the other side of the battlefield to see the real military formation for the first time at the forty-two-year-old King Linyi named Jiandra Varman, the Linyi Kingdom was in a period of rise and rise over the years, he began to fight everywhere since he was thirteen years old, the Zhenla people, the Kunlun people, the Javanese people, the Sri Buddha died, and the great cannibals all fought each other, and the two sides were always screaming, and then a swarm of hedges, and finally won with numbers and bravery!

However, this time the enemy was lined up in a neat and tight phalanx, and at the outermost part of the phalanx was a forest of spears, each spear was connected by an iron rod in the middle, and it seemed that there was another iron rod on the ground, which was trampled under the feet of the soldiers, and the tip of the spear pointed diagonally forward, shining in the cold light in the sun.

If he knew more about the Tang Dynasty, he would know that these so-called spear forests were actually horse rejection pistols, but they were slightly improved by Xiao Quai, and an iron rod was added underneath, and there were holes in the iron rod every five inches, which were almost impossible to push if they were fixed on the ground with nails.

Jiandra Varman saw that four rows of spear forests surrounded the Tang army formation of more than 1,000 people, behind the spear forest, there was a row of Tang army warriors with large shields and spears, and behind this row of warriors, there were rows of crossbowmen with strong crossbows.

What made him feel a little uneasy was that he couldn't see a trace of panic and fear from the more than 1,000 Tang Army soldiers, on the contrary, everyone's eyes were fanatical, as if they were the one with the advantage in strength, as if their own most courageous warriors in the more than 15,000 Linyi countries were not worth mentioning in their eyes!

He was a little confused and hesitant.

At this moment, he saw a wooden platform erected in the middle of the phalanx, and a naked Cham was being hung by a rope, and Jiandra Varman had a very good eye, and at a glance he saw that it was his eldest son, Yadravarman.

The Linyi soldiers in the front row also saw it, and immediately let out a loud uproar, and the crowd was excited, and Jiandra Varman suddenly became angry and scolded at the Tang military formation.

After tying the rope, the Tang soldier began to beat Yadravaman with a whip dipped in seawater, and Yadravaman kept writhing in pain, and screamed.

The fifteen thousand Linyi troops were instantly furious, and if it weren't for the fact that the wizard and the king hadn't issued an order, they would have rushed over immediately and tore this group of hateful Tang people to pieces.

Jiandra Varman's eyes also turned red, and he roared loudly like thunder, vowing to kill this group of Tang troops without leaving one behind, and digging out his heart!

The Great Wizard who accompanied the army began to communicate with the Heavens with his eyes closed, and after about a minute, he opened his eyes and said loudly: "Lord Shiva, this group of evil heretics~sects~ will be punished, and we will achieve the final victory, go, kill them all, Lord Shiva is with you!" ”

The fifteen thousand most elite soldiers of the Linyi Kingdom immediately screamed for unknown reasons as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and rushed over from three directions like a tide towards the 1,800 Tang Army formations that were waiting for the battle, each with red eyes, hideous and twisted faces, like crazy, and extremely terrifying.

Nan Jiyun watched as this group of Linyi soldiers ran faster and faster like a fool, and the Linyi soldiers on both wings had already crossed the Tang army's military formation and outflanked the rear. He gave the order unhurriedly, and the first row of Don troops with shields and spears all squatted.

Immediately after that, the flag of the Chinese army shook again, and another military horn sounded, and the first row of crossbowmen in the back three rows squatted, and the last two rows stood, and they all put the strong crossbows in their hands flat, pointing at the Linyi soldiers who charged towards them.

Listening to the chirping and shouting on the opposite side, and seeing them running closer and closer, the hearts of all the Tang Army soldiers also jumped wildly, and a large amount of adrenaline was secreted, and they entered a state of tension and excitement.

Closer, closer......

One hundred and thirty steps! One hundred steps! Eighty steps!

Some impatient Tiance soldiers were already sweating in their palms at this time, and their fingers on the trigger were also a little trembling, and their nerves collapsed to the tightest.

The Tiance crossbow can break through the iron armor in one hundred and fifty steps, and two layers of heavy armor in one hundred steps, while the savage soldiers on the opposite side are almost all naked, and the distance is already approaching eighty steps!

Just when the hearts of many soldiers were almost jumping out of their mouths, a loud swan sounded, and the Tiance soldiers who were squatting on the ground in the first row were fierce, and at the same time pulled the trigger of the tooth hair.

The sound of the teeth wrenching, the sound of the crossbow strings vibrating violently, and the sound of the crossbow arrows breaking through the air sounded together, and the power of the strong crossbow was fully revealed in such a close range of flat fire, and hundreds of crossbow arrows slammed into the dense crowd of soldiers in Linyi towards a black lightning bolt.

The arrows of the point steel, in such a short distance, easily broke through the bodies of these Linyi people, and most of them came out of their bodies, and the castration was slightly reduced, hitting the soldiers behind, blood splashed, and the inhuman screams shook the sky!

The momentum of the soldiers in Linyi was frustrated, and the generals who supervised the battle behind them and the wizards who accompanied the army loudly cheered up. A dozen or so hesitant soldiers were beheaded by the Warlords, and the soldiers of Linyi, who had no way out, burst out of their savage nature, and rushed forward more and more fiercely and frantically.

A moment later, in the formation of the Tiance army, the second swan sounded again, the second row of crossbowmen pulled the tooth trigger, and another round of intensive shooting, more Linyi soldiers fell down like wheat, and the blood was like a tide, and the dirty blood flowed all over the ground.

The surviving Linyi soldiers were terrified to the extreme, but they were still a little close to the rout, and the long-term barbarism and bloodlust had caused them to enter a state of madness, and they had forgotten their fears and rushed forward hysterically and desperately.

By the time of the third volley, there were already men rushing to a distance of forty paces, and a few of the archers who could have returned fire with their bows and arrows had forgotten everything, and just rushed forward like a madman, and then they were confronted by a whistling rain of crossbow arrows.

At such a distance, not a single arrow missed, and nearly half of the crossbow arrows even created a magical record of killing three enemies at the same time with one arrow. These Linyi people who were in a state of madness were finally completely defeated, and the overseers and wizards behind them could not stop them, and they would even be hacked to death by them.

Soon it was the fourth volley, followed by three extremely loud swan sounds, and the 1,800 Tiance infantry moved away from the horse rejection rifles in front of them, and pursued them in the direction of the escape of the Linyi soldiers with extreme enthusiasm.

"Ah...... Ahh ”

"Rush!"

Similar to the amazing achievements created by the lobster soldiers in later generations, this Tiance army, which has only been in the army for more than three months, has also created an impressive record of defeating several times the enemy without killing a single person.

It's just that before this, many Tiance soldiers didn't expect that victory would be so simple!

What they don't know is that this is just the beginning......

Not far away, Xiao Quzhi, Li Qi, and the three hundred Tiance cavalry, who were lying in ambush on the edge of the woods, quietly witnessed the whole process of this battle.

Li Qi put down the binoculars in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Cool! It's amazing, it's time for us to play! Rush with me, capture alive their kings, wizards, and ministers, and kill all the fleeing soldiers! (To be continued.) )
