Chapter 32: The Decisive Battle in the Western Regions (8)
Abu? The many storms and waves that a Muslim has experienced in his life have never made him despair, and the present situation has made him despair. He knew very well what it would mean if the Tang Army's crossbow array was arranged?
That means that these 200,000 Great Eclipse Army will be wiped out. If the 200,000 troops are lost, the remaining Dashi army will inevitably not be able to defeat the Tang army, and the defeat will be sooner or later.
It's good to say that failure, to be precise, it should be a catastrophe.
Thinking of the terrible consequences of the annihilation of the entire army, even with Abu? The courage of the Muslims was also terrified, and they had to cry out to the heavens and the earth.
"No, we must withdraw before the Chinese form a crossbow array." Abu? Muslims deserve to be Abu? Muslims, thinking of a way in the turn of their minds, immediately issued two orders, one was to order the Great Food Army in the camp to come out from the other camp gates, attack the Tang Army formation from the left and right flanks, and meet the Great Food Army.
As long as he breaks through one of the left and right flanks, he can take the Great Food Army out. His idea is very good, the question is, how could Li Changguo not think of it? Li Changguo had already ordered the Tang army to block the left and right flanks tightly, and even if the Great Food Army rushed out of the camp and wanted to join forces with the outside, there was no chance of success.
Even so, you can't give up, you have to fight. If you don't fight now, you won't have a chance in the future, Abu? Of course, the Muslims did not miss this opportunity and passed down the order.
Another order was to counterattack the Tang army of the 200,000 Great Food Army that was besieged, to bite the Tang army, engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Tang army, and prevent the Tang army from leaving.
In the current situation, the Tang army has the upper hand and is slaughtering the Great Food Army, if the Great Food Army counterattacks the Tang Army, it is a very disadvantaged thing, it should be distanced, reorganize the formation, and wait until the formation is reorganized, and then come to fight with the Tang Army, this is the most shrewd way.
Of course, Ebu? The shrewdness of the Muslims, he knows very well that if he does this now, the Great Food Army will inevitably be destroyed, because once the Great Food Army and the Tang Army distance themselves, it will be convenient for the Tang Army to shoot in a crossbow array.
Let the Great Food Army and the Tang Army mix together, entangle, and cannot be separated, and the Tang Army's crossbow array can be stopped. Unless Li Changguo is ruthless, ruthless enough to shoot indiscriminately, whether it is the Tang Army or the Great Food Army, shoot and kill together.
"Abu? Muslims, shrewd enough! Unfortunately, I wouldn't have expected it? Li Changguo couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw the battlefield situation.
Soon, the Great Food Army in the camp rushed out from the other camp gates and launched an overwhelming attack on the left and right flanks, however, they were greeted by the head-on attack of the Tang Army, and it was difficult for the Great Food Army to make progress.
"Unless heavy cavalry is used." Abu? The Muslims knew very well that if they wanted to break through the Tang army on the left and right flanks, unless he sent heavy cavalry, there would be no chance.
The impact of the heavy cavalry does not need to be said, it is second to none, before the Tang Dynasty replaced the heavy cavalry with the Modao battle array, the heavy cavalry has always been the most important impact force in ancient China.
If it is Abu? The heavy cavalry of the Muslims will definitely exert tremendous pressure on the left and right flanks of the Tang army. As for whether it can break through, it is difficult to say, because Li Changguo sent a large number of Modao battle formations with the left and right wings, obviously to guard against Abu? Muslims of this trick. Only, Abu? The Muslims did not send heavy cavalry to fight, and the Tang army's Modao battle array was not invested, but only monitored.
Do you send heavy cavalry, or not? Abu? Once again, Muslims are in a dilemma.
If you don't use it, after this opportunity in front of you, I don't know if there is a chance to use it again?
If you use it, the Tang army has already prepared, and the heavy cavalry may not be able to make a contribution. If he could not make meritorious contributions and could not break through the two wings of the Tang army, he would have exposed the heavy cavalry prematurely, which would be detrimental to him. Looking at the arrangement of the Tang Army, the two wings only need to be stable, and it is enough to buy time for the annihilation of these 200,000 Great Food Army. Heavy cavalry battles, unable to succeed are likely to be very high.
Just in Abu? When the Muslims hesitated, another thing happened that made his heart tremble, that is, his plan to order the Great Food Army to entangle with the Tang Army failed, and the Tang Army successfully threw off the Great Food Army and retreated, forming a huge military formation. The reason why the Tang army was able to get rid of the entangled Great Food Army was not because the Great Food Army was not good at fighting, but because their combat power was not strong at this time, and they could not be compared with the Tang Army that was like a fresh army.
The formation speed of the Tang army was very fast, and soon a huge military formation was formed, and the Mo knife hand was at the forefront, they were knife hands, responsible for covering the Mo knife hand and intercepting the fish that slipped through the net.
Behind the swordmen are archers, each with a strong bow in their hands, a powerful arrow on their backs, sharp eyes, and a high fighting spirit.
Behind the archers is the crossbow array, which is composed of nearly 20,000 powerful crossbows with different ranges. At first glance, I saw a crossbow array like an ancient fierce beast, as if they would choose people and devour them at any time, which made people's hearts beat.
Behind the crossbow array is the knife hand, guarding the back and ensuring the safety of the back.
The two wings are light cavalry, to ensure the safety of the two wings, people are like dragons, horses are like tigers, and the momentum is like rainbows.
The entire army covers an area of more than ten or twenty miles, and when you look at it, the black pressure oppresses a large area, like a sea tide, exuding a shocking momentum, and the aura of slaughter fills the heavens and the earth.
"Sizzle!" Seeing it in his eyes, the Great Food Soldier couldn't help but breathe in the cool air, and his heart was beating with shock.
They dreamed of killing the hateful and hateful Chinese, however, what they never imagined was that the Tang army's military array was so deterrent.
Although the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food fought for hundreds of years, there had never been such a large-scale battle, and at present, the Great Food Soldiers were the first time to see the true background of the Tang Army, and they were all shocked, thinking that they were dazzled and wrong.
The people who had this illusion were not only soldiers, but also generals of the Great Eclipse, and they were also frightened for a while, and involuntarily stopped the fighting movements, stopped, opened their eyes wide, and looked at the Tang army's formation.
"Adults, we underestimate the Chinese." Ziad's voice was hoarse, and he cautioned him.
"It's not underestimating...... "Abu? The Muslim's words stunned Ziyad.
Qi Yade has fought with the Tang Dynasty for many years, and it can be said that he knows the Tang Army very well, however, after looking at the current situation, he realized that he had despised the Tang Army too much in the past. Originally, I thought that the Tang army in the Anxi Protectorate was elite enough, enough, and their crossbow array was powerful enough, where did I think of it, when I saw the military array in front of me, I realized that I was wrong, and I still underestimated the Tang army.
However, just when he was stunned, only to listen to Abu? The Muslims were very sad and said: "...... It's too underestimated! ”
Abu? A Muslim has galloped all his life and fought more battles than he eats meat. He had fought with Gao Xianzhi for many years, was very familiar with the situation in the Tang Dynasty, and thought that he already knew the tactics of the Tang Army very well, however, at the moment, he still did not understand how terrible the Tang Army was.
Not to mention anything else, although the current Tang army has not yet exerted its might, just looking at this formation, with the eyes of his great experts, how can he not see that once the Tang army is powerful, the Great Food Army will be attacked by the destruction of the surname.
"Knock knock!"
The earth-shattering sound of war drums sounded, and the morale of the Tang army, which was originally high-spirited, became even more intense, and the drums had the effect of urging people to forge ahead, which could make people's blood surging, and whenever the war drums sounded, the morale of the Tang army would be high.
"Not good!" Abu? Muslims know very well that the sound of war drums is a signal for the offensive of the Don army.
Sure enough, the order flag in Li Changguo's hand waved down heavily, as if it was like a thunderbolt, and the momentum was shocking.
"Boom!"
The earth-shattering sound of the engine sounded one after another, one after another, converging into a series of thunder, shaking people's ear drums buzzing, as if the scorching thunder was ringing in the ears.
"Woohoo!"
Suddenly, a sharp sound sounded in the air, and countless crossbow arrows appeared in the air, dense like straw in a field, covering the sky, and the sun could not penetrate, and the sky suddenly darkened, as if it was not a sunny day, but a rainy day.
20,000 strong crossbows, if you shoot a single shot, you will shoot more than 100,000 crossbow arrows. Because each strong crossbow will not have one arrow, but at least five arrows, this is how it is calculated, and one surname will shoot 100,000 arrows. Some large crossbows can shoot more than a dozen or twenty crossbow arrows at a time.
Of course, according to the standards of the battlefield, it is impossible to let 20,000 strong crossbows fire in a salvo, but in three batches. A group of shooting, a group of preparations, a batch of loading crossbow arrows, only in this way can "take turns to shoot", there is no gap, and the enemy is not given a chance to counterattack.
Even so, the crossbow arrows fired by the Tang army at one time were also about 40,000. Imagine a 40,000-thrum crossbow flying through the sky.
At first glance, it looks like 40,000 poisonous snakes flying in the air, so it is not terrifying.
Each crossbow arrow brought a strong wind, and 40,000 strong winds converged to form a huge wind, and the crossbow arrows passed everywhere, and a cloud of smoke and dust rolled up on the soft ground that had been trampled by the two armies, and a dark cloud that hung down to the ground formed in an instant, as if by magic.
"O Allah!" Many of the Great Food Soldiers saw it in their eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
The Great Food Army is a world-famous elite, destroying dozens of countries, and has experienced many battle formations, but there has never been a battlefield that frightened them like before. Compared with the current situation, the battles they fought in the past were not called wars, but only children could be called houses, and this place was called a battlefield.
"Bless your faithful servant, Great Allah!" Abu? Muslims are helpless and have no choice but to ask Allah for their blessings.
"Puff puff!" The dull sound of fleshing sounded one after another, one after another, for a long time, converging into a thunderous sound, which shocked people's eardrums.
"Ahhh It was also accompanied by the screams of the Great Food Soldiers, who were shocked, frightened, and terrified...... All kinds of frightened expressions are contained in it.
When the dark clouds swept the ground passed, a strange scene appeared in front of them, and everyone, not only the Great Food Army, but also the Tang Army was stunned, and their eyes widened with a look of disbelief.
