Niu Xu had just drawn out a giant arrow, but before he could put on the bowstring, the giant arrow was caught.

"Uncle Pony, I'm sure I'll shoot that guy across the river." Niu Xu said continuously.

Ma Lan smiled and said, "Don't worry. Now shoot their boss, what if they don't cross the river? I'll give you this guy, I'll talk about it later. ”

Seeing Ma Lu say this, Niu Xu had no choice but to put the giant arrow into the quiver again and put the giant bow on his back again.

The riverbed was a little muddy, and the Kufa cavalry did not gallop fast on the riverbed, and many horses stumbled and fell in the mud, and the horsemen were also thrown down hard, and they could not maintain their formation at all. Khalid stood by the river, desperately urging the Kufa cavalry in the riverbed to speed forward, and at the same time ordering the Kufa cavalry on the bank to quickly form a formation.

Ma Lan patted Niu Xu on the shoulder, jumped on the horse's back, and waved his hand to the athletes under the wooden frame. The wooden frame was already full of sun-dried red willow branches, which were quickly ignited by the athletes, and suddenly thick smoke and flames rose into the air.

After doing all this, the athletes got on their horses and galloped quickly towards the army in the rear. Niu Xu looked at the Persians who were struggling in pain on the wooden frame, there was a look of unbearability in his eyes, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a sudden pain in his head, but it was Ma Lu who slapped him in the face.

Ma Lan knows this guy too well, how he still doesn't understand what he wants to say. Is it a waste of saliva to reason with this kid, or is it a slap in the face.

"Let's go! After a while, you can't shoot the enemy commander, so don't carry the seven-stone bow in the future. Ma Lan glanced back at the enemy troops rushing in the wide riverbed, and galloped towards the rear of the main formation.

Niu Xu looked depressed, but now he finally knew to obey the military order, so he had to follow Ma Lu to gallop back to the army.

Under the smoke and fire, the Persians on the wooden frame cried out miserably. On the other side of the riverbed, Khalid saw this scene and immediately went completely crazy. Regardless of the fact that the Kufa cavalry behind him had not yet formed a charging formation, Khalid roared loudly and ordered all the cavalry to rush to the opposite bank, and he himself rode his horse and jumped into the riverbed.

July and August should be the most abundant time for the water, but now the river is very shallow, only a few feet wide, and the riverbed is two or three hundred paces wide. The Kufa cavalry jumped into the riverbed in dense formation, no longer in the slightest formation, and rushed to the opposite bank with a loud roar.

The army spread out on the banks of the river, and each platoon of cavalry numbered two or three hundred, very close to each other, and jumped into the river and rushed towards the opposite bank like ants. The mud on the riverside slowed down the cavalry's charge, and also made it impossible for the cavalry to maintain their formation, and the Tang troops on the opposite bank lined up on the gentle slope and did not make any reaction, watching the Kufa cavalry at the front rush to the shore in groups.

The 20,000 cavalry of the Syrian legion had retreated behind the Kufa cavalry, and under Abdullah's order, they quickly set up an attack formation, and the 20,000 men lined up in a huge five-limbed formation, standing densely outside the riverbed, ready to attack at any time.

The Kufa cavalry, which crossed the river, did not attack the Tang army directly, but began to quickly retract their formation under the orders of the officers, and slowly advanced towards the front to make way for the later knights.

Soon thousands of men had already reached the riverbank, and Khalid had crossed the river and shouted at the army, only then some Kufa cavalry reacted, and dozens of men rushed to the burning wooden frame and used their weapons to pick up the fire under the wooden frame. At this time, the people on the wooden frame drooped their heads one by one, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

"Shoot!" Ma Lan stood in front of the army and sneered.

Niu Xu was still hesitating, but Li Zhengde had already bent his bow and shot an arrow.

Li Zhengde also used a seven-stone bow, and the huge arrow roared and tore through the air, piercing a wooden frame, shattering the head of an old Persian man who did not know the life and death of the wooden frame.

"Father!" Khalid stood in the riverbed and screamed miserably, but the sound was drowned out by the thousands of horses, and disappeared in an instant.

Ma Xuan didn't look at Niu Xu, but only watched Li Zhengde's arrows like beads, the seven stone bows were continuously pulled, and the giant arrows rushed out like poisonous snakes, penetrating the wooden frame and blasting the heads of the Persians one by one. Such an amazing archery technique stunned the Kufa cavalry under the wooden frame.

Shooting fifteen arrows in a row, Li Zhengde already had a trace of sweat on his forehead, looked at Niu Xu and said with a smile: "Boy, the last one is left for you, let someone see your means." ”

Niu Xu glanced at Ma Lu, but Ma Lan didn't look at him, but just pointed to the wooden frame in the distance. Niu Xu gritted his teeth and bent his bow and arrows, and the arrows shot out like meteors, and they also shot straight through the wooden frame, piercing the Persian boy on the wooden frame with an arrow.

Ma Ling nodded faintly, still not looking back, squinting at the Kufa cavalry below. Niu Xu's face was pale, and he didn't dare to look at the little Persian boy on the wooden frame, his tall body trembled slightly, and his delicate face showed a hint of pain.

From a hot-blooded ranger to a cold-blooded condor shooter in the army, it always takes a process. Ma Lan knew that Niu Xu had not yet completed the transformation of his identity, but he couldn't help with this kind of thing, so he could only give Niu Xu more time.

There is no way for a ranger to find a marquis, since he has chosen to take fame immediately, he can no longer look at the world from the eyes of a ranger, but must become an iron-blooded soldier.

Khalid stood on the riverbed, watching his relatives being shot and killed by the Tang people one by one, and stood there sluggishly, and let out a painful roar after a long time.

His eyes were already blood-red, and he urged his horse to speed up desperately, driving away the Kufa cavalry that was in front of him, and rushed to the river bank at high speed.

The wooden frame had been completely burned, and the Kufa cavalry in front of them were no longer fighting the fire, looking at the corpses on it and not knowing what to do. Khalid rushed to the wooden frame and watched as his relatives cried out in pain.

Sixteen corpses, large and small, were nailed to wooden frames, and now their heads were pierced by giant arrows. All his relatives who remained in Balhei died in this way.

Khalid howled in pain and turned his head to look at the Tang troops lined up on the hillside in the distance, with endless hatred in his eyes.

At this moment, he had already left everything behind him, and only thought about killing these hateful Tang people and avenging his wife and children.

At this time, all the Kufa cavalry had rushed into the riverbed, and the riverbed was densely packed, and there were more than 10,000 people who had completed the whole formation on the shore. Several generals restrained the army and rode over to ask Khalid for orders. Khalid roared, pointed his heavy sword at the Tang army on the hillside, and then rode his horse in the direction of the Tang army.

The Tang people are condescending, so it is obvious that they will suffer, but behind them is a deep riverbed, and since they have attacked, they must rush forward. The Kufa cavalry, under the control of the generals, struggled to maintain their formation, maintaining only a minimum distance of a dozen paces between each team, and rushed towards the slope of the hill where the Don army was located with a loud roar.

There were 6,000 Tang troops on the hillside, including all the Yuan Rong crossbowmen, and Ma Lan squinted at these Persian cavalry rushing up, waiting for these guys to enter the range of the Tang army.

Without relying on camps or using trenches, this riverbed has created a large enough advantage for the Tang army, and the big cannibals crossing the river to fight before they have a firm foothold is simply sending their heads to the Tang army.

This time, Ma Lu no longer had the luxury of zero casualties, but only wanted to use this battle to teach the big cannibals a big enough lesson to lay the foundation for future actions.

The range of the Tang Army's standard hard crossbow is the same, and it has been tested many times in advance, and everything is ready to stop. All the Kufa cavalry had entered the riverbed, and there was no need to hide at this time.

It was still Tian Mingyuan who commanded the volley of Anxi athletes, and seeing that the Kufa cavalry at the front had passed a white line drawn in advance, Tian Mingyuan waved his hand violently, and the Anxi athletes moved their moots at the same time.

Condescendingly, the power of the eight-bull crossbow was even more terrifying, and hundreds of huge arrows flew out like spears, knocking down a large number of Kufa cavalry who were forming on the bank of the river. The Yuanrong crossbow was still in the salvo mode this time, nearly three thousand Yuanrong crossbowmen were all on the hillside, and the directions covered by the arrow rain had been accurately calculated in advance, and the dense steel arrows roared out with a deadly whistling sound, covering a large area. Some of the Great Eaters have iron armor, and the others are basically leather armor, but no kind of armor can stop such a terrifying crossbow rain, even if it is the Mingguang armor of the Tang Army.

Using so many Yuan Rong crossbowmen at the same time in a single salvo, Ma Lu himself did not have such an experience. Counting the steel arrows fired by more than 3,000 crossbowmen, there were more than 30,000 arrows in this wave of arrows.

The Kufa cavalry that was charging suddenly fell silent, bounded by a white line, and the back was almost a white field, and the dead knights and horses fell to the ground, and there was not a single living man or horse in the huge area.

The area covered by the rain of arrows truly became a dead place, and a thick bloody aura burst out in an instant. The Kufa cavalry outside the rain of arrows all stopped there, staring blankly at the desperate scene in front of them.

The corpses were piled up on top of each other, and there was no place on the ground at all, and the ground was instantly stained red with blood, which flowed into a stream and bubbled down to the riverbed below.

The cavalry that rushed to the front turned out to be all dead!

I don't know how many people died, but the living Kufa cavalry felt unspeakable fear.

No army can withstand such a blow, and the Anxi army itself does not have such a will to fight, let alone the black-clothed army that has only been in the army for several years. The blood poured into everyone's noses, and the Persian warriors on the banks of the river were all silent, with only fear and despair on their faces.

The Kufa cavalry in the riverbed didn't know what was happening, and were still rushing up to the riverbank, only to find that the knights in front of them suddenly stopped moving. On the other side of the riverbed, a burst of exclamations erupted. The cavalry of the Syrian legion saw it clearly, and although the distance was long, it was the first to react.

Abdullah witnessed the horrific scene and suddenly felt chills run through his body. He also understood now why Hajid, the governor of Khorasan, was so easily defeated by the Tangs.

This is not an army that should exist in the world, but must be from Allah's kingdom! Thinking that he had been delusional about calculating this army before, Abdullah was afraid for a while. (To be continued.) )
