Chapter 32: The Decisive Battle in the Western Regions (11)
"Allah has appeared!"
"Allah has blessed us!"
The soldiers of the Great Food Eater were overjoyed to finally have a chance to escape, and they were all overjoyed, thinking that the great Allah had appeared to bless them, and burst into cheers and rushed into the camp.
Abu? Muslims see it in their eyes, but their hearts are dripping with blood. How many people are needed to fill the trenches? These are all elites, it is his hard work, just filling the trench like this, isn't this asking for his old life?
"My lord, come into the camp." Ziyad to see Abu? The Muslim's face was distorted, and he knew that he was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly reminded him.
Now is not the time to be sad, it is time to regroup and meet the attack of the Tang Army is the most important thing, Abu? The Muslims, not caring for their sadness, slapped their horses on their backs and rushed towards the camp.
As soon as you enter the camp, Abu? The Muslims took a look and saw that the Dashi army left behind in the camp had been lined up, and a huge military formation covered an area of more than ten miles, and it was black and oppressive. The soldiers of the Great Food Diet are like dragons, horses are like tigers, with high morale, shocking momentum, and fierce spirit, and they are not under the Tang Army.
"Whew!" Cloth? The hearts of Muslims have finally been relieved, and with these new forces, they can get out of the predicament in front of them.
"Cunning Chinese, as long as you dare to attack, I will give you a head-on blow." Abu? Muslims grit their teeth.
He went out to challenge today, but he never thought that he would fall for Li Changguo's plan, so that he would lose his troops and generals, and the loss was not small. More than 30,000 were killed by the Tang army, at least 20,000 people were filled in the trenches, and there were many war horses, and more than 50,000 were lost in one day. There is no record of a Muslim's life fighting, and this is the first time in his life that he has encountered it, and it is impossible for him not to be depressed.
However, he suddenly discovered that there was a huge flaw in this formation, and that was the lack of powerful ranged attacks, because most of the trebuchets were destroyed, and only a few were left. The trebuchet was so heavy that even hundreds of thousands of troops could not have too many, and he only brought a few thousand crusades, and today they were almost destroyed. There are only a thousand trebuchets left, and if this trebuchet confronts the crossbow array of the Tang army, it will definitely be pressed and beaten, Abu? The depression of the Muslims is even greater.
But when Abu? When the Muslim saw the heavy cavalry in formation, his heart felt better. The formation of 30,000 heavy cavalry is particularly amazing.
The heavy cavalry and the people are covered with heavy armor, at first glance, it is like a steel monster, the formation of 30,000 people, like a torrent of steel, covering an area of several miles, the momentum is shocking, although the attack has not yet been launched, a group of killing air has been filled between heaven and earth.
Heavy cavalry is Abu? The last hole card of the Muslims, originally thought of using it again at a critical juncture, destroying the Tang army's position in one fell swoop, but now it had to be used to regain the decline.
Abu? At the sound of the Muslims' order, the remnants of the Great Eater who had retreated to the camp divided into two parts and circled to the rear of the army from the left and right sides, regrouping and preparing for another battle.
"Damn Chinese, come on, come on, taste the power of the Allah warriors!"
"So many heavily armored cavalry, I can't clean up the Chinese if I don't believe it!"
"Chinese, hurry up, I want to hear your screams earlier, I want to see your broken limbs."
The eyes of the generals of the Great Food were shining, and they looked at the heavy cavalry, all of them were overjoyed, as if it was a big New Year, and the embarrassment of the right talent disappeared, as if there was no fiasco today.
With the level of science and technology of Da Shi, it is not easy to create so many heavy cavalry, this is the largest number of heavy cavalry they have seen in their lives, and they will not be happy.
"The Chinese rush in at this time, it must be in an irregular formation, and if they rush the heavy armored cavalry, it will definitely be seven and eight, and we will take the opportunity to cover up and kill from behind, and we will be able to take revenge!"
"You underestimate our heavy armored cavalry too much, even if the Chinese rush in with a grand formation, they will still be defeated by the heavy armored cavalry and defeated."
The Great Food General was really happy and shouted. In their minds, the Tang army rushed into the camp, and it must have been in an unorganized position.
It is no wonder that after a rush and killing, the Tang army's formation will inevitably be scattered, this is the inevitable trend of the battlefield, and no matter how great the commander is, it is impossible to be a dignified formation from beginning to end.
However, their idea soon went bankrupt. I only heard an earth-shattering sound of "dong dong", as if thousands of thunderbolts were bombarded, shaking the ground and trembling.
When I looked back, I saw a sea of torches, covering a radius of more than ten or twenty miles, moving towards the Great Food Camp.
Under the light of the fire, I saw the Tang army lining up in a neat battle formation, advancing in an orderly manner, and soon entered the big food camp. At first glance, it looks like a sea tide, surging, unstoppable.
"This ......" The Great Food General was shocked. In their thoughts, the Tang army's formation would inevitably be scattered, and where could they have imagined that the Tang army's formation was so neat and tidy, without the slightest chaos.
What they can think of, can't Li Changguo think of? Of course, Li Changguo knew that there were still many big food fresh forces in the big food camp, and if the Tang army was scattered and dared to attack the big food camp, they would be greeted by a terrible battle.
The Tang army was well-ordered, well-trained, and acted quickly, and soon regrouped in formation. As soon as Li Changguo gave the order, the Tang army drove towards the big food camp, and there was this scene in front of him.
"Cunning Chinese!" The good idea of the great food general did not come true, and he cursed the Tang army.
"What a formidable opponent to regroup in such a short period of time!" Abu? The Muslim complimented him, but his face was a little ugly.
He also hoped that the Tang army would enter the camp in a scattered formation, even if not too much, only a little confusion would be needed, and then, with the help of heavy cavalry, he would be able to turn small chaos into big chaos, and big chaos into collapse again.
"Heavy cavalry, attack!" Abu? Muslims know very well that they must take advantage of the opportunity when the Tang army has not stopped, that is, the foothold is not stable, and decisively launch an attack to disrupt the Tang army's position and seize the opportunity.
"Rumble!"
The 30,000 heavily armored cavalry was like a flood that broke the embankment, surging and magnificent, and rushed up against the Tang army. The sound of hooves was like thunder, shaking the ground trembling, where the horse's hooves were stepping, the smoke and dust were misty, and under the firelight, I saw a dark cloud suddenly appearing under the pressure of black, giving people a heavy sense of depression.
"The Chinese are comfortable!"
"Chinese, look how you die! See how you have been trampled to death by the hooves of Allah's servants! ”
The charge of the heavy cavalry was very terrifying, and the momentum was shocking, although there was still a short distance from the formation of the Tang army, the indomitable and invincible momentum had been shown, and the generals and soldiers of the Great Food were all overjoyed, thinking that they had won.
Is that Abu? The Muslims also had high hopes, and their eyes were wide open, and for a moment they stared at the heavy cavalry. At this moment, in Abu? Muslims already have in their minds the idea of the Tang soldiers turning on their backs.
"Woohoo!"
However, out of Abu? To their surprise, the Tang army stopped abruptly without the slightest nervousness. What's even worse is that the sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded, shaking people's ear drums buzzing, as if thousands of explosions and thunder were ringing in their ears.
"Crossbow array?"
The Great Food Army suffered a big loss from the crossbow array today, and was shot and killed by the crossbow array, and was particularly familiar with the sound of the crossbow arrows breaking through the air.
The heavy cavalry is good, but if you encounter a crossbow array, it is not enough to see. You must know that a strong crossbow specializes in breaking heavy armor, no matter how thick the heavy armor is, when encountering a strong crossbow, it is just a piece of paper.
Sure enough, a miserable scream sounded, and I saw the heavy cavalry people turning on their backs, and the originally neat formation was chaotic, and many heavy cavalry were shot and rolled in the air, as if they were blown away by a hurricane.
Unlike other classes that are killed by crossbow shots, the Heavy Cavalry only rolls in the air and does not perform "space dance steps", and they do not roll far, much shorter than other classes, which is the biggest difference. The reason for this was that the heavy cavalry was wearing heavy armor, which was too heavy for even the strong force of a strong crossbow to carry him far.
"Rush Rush!"
Abu? Muslims were surprised to see that Tang Jun had such a quick reaction in such a short period of time, which was really beyond his expectations, and he knew that he still underestimated Tang Jun.
However, in the current situation, the heavy cavalry must not be allowed to retreat, not only can they not retreat, but they must also rush over, and they must rush over as fast as possible, and the sooner they engage with the Tang army, the fewer casualties there will be.
His idea was correct, the heavy cavalry rushed like a whirlwind, although the crossbow array of the Tang army shot in turn, it still could not stop the heavy cavalry, after paying a lot of price, the heavy cavalry finally rushed to the front, and a hand-to-hand combat was about to begin.
The selection conditions for heavy cavalry are extremely harsh, they must be tall, strong, and more sophisticated, and they must have a hundred battles. It was precisely because of so many superior conditions that major casualties were avoided, and the heavy cavalry rushed to the front.
"Allah! Allah! In a shocking roar, the heavy armored cavalry waved the scimitar in his hand and slashed at the Tang army.
They were greeted by the Mo knife, the heavy Mo knife was raised high, and it was slashed down, a dull sound of flesh sounded, screams came and went, the mournful neighing of the war horses sounded into a piece, many heavy armored cavalry were split into pieces, and many heavy cavalry were split alive with people and horses.
Even so, the Modao battle array could not chop all the heavy cavalry to death. Not only could they not all be chopped to death, but they were also disrupted by the heavy cavalry, and the Modao battle array was divided into many parts, with hundreds of thousands of Mo knife hands in each part.
Not only that, but there were also casualties, and thousands of Mo knifemen were killed and slashed.
The Mo Dao Battle Array is a sharp weapon of the Tang Army, and it is rare in the entire history of the Tang Dynasty to be approached by the enemy, to be disrupted, and to kill and injure so many Mo Dao hands.
The reason for this situation is that, first, the Arabian horse is a world-famous good horse, tall and fast, so the impact of the heavy cavalry is amazing; The second is that the heavy cavalry has the best equipment, especially the scimitar in their hand, which is a real Damascus knife. How sharp the Damascus knife is, there is no need to say, it is a world-famous knife, which enjoys a great name in history, and its sharpness is not under the combat knife of the Tang Army. The third is the elite of the heavy cavalry, with strong hand-to-hand combat power.
