In the first round of confrontations, they were evenly matched, and no one could help anyone. Both sides showed great military skill and even ordered a retreat at the same time.

The order was handed down, and the two infantry fighting under the city withdrew from the battlefield in an orderly manner, without confusion, showing good military discipline.

"The order of the big food is extremely strict, right." Zhang said that he saw it in his eyes and appreciated it greatly.

"That's true." Yang Siqiao and they also agreed with this.

"It is not surprising that the great cannibals believe in Allah, they consider themselves servants of Allah and can die for Allah, and it is not surprising that this battle must be fought bravely and retreated in a strict and orderly manner." Li Longji has another view.

This is very reasonable, the vast majority of the Arab imperial army is religious fanatics, and they can die for Allah, who does not exist, even if it is a wife and children.

They were not afraid of death, and it was only natural that they would retreat in order.

"Yang Siqiao, you will fight in this second formation. Well, it is enough to lead three thousand cavalry. Li Longji said to Yang Si.

"Yes." Yang Siqiao was greatly excited.

The top spot was pulled out by Chen Xuanli, and it was also a beautiful thing for him to be able to play in the second round, so he couldn't help but be excited.

"Hey." The generals looked at Yang Siqiao, admired it greatly, and sighed lightly.

Such a tense and exciting tough battle, you can only watch, you can't fight, who can not be in a hurry?

"The Tang army retreated in an orderly manner, there was no chaos, and the orders were extremely strict. The Chinese have been able to look at the world for more than a thousand years, and it is not a blessing. Gu Taibai watched the orderly Tang army withdraw from the battlefield and was greatly appreciative.

His eyes naturally saw how rare it was for the Tang Army to maintain such an order.

A real elite. It's not just about winning battles. I can keep order after defeating, too. That's the real elite.

"In the second round, we will send 3,000 cavalry to fight." Gu Taibai made the same decision as Li Longji, and also sent 3,000 cavalry.

After receiving the order, the cavalry of the Arab Empire drove out one by one and lined up on the battlefield.

The cavalry of the Arab Empire was well-trained, moved quickly and neatly, and the formation was very fast, and it was quickly formed. A faction is purged, and the aura of slaughter runs through the nine skies.

"Good! The cavalry of the Great Eclipse is amazing! Li Longji watched the Arab Imperial cavalry formation at the head of the city and greatly appreciated it.

"Good horse, good horse! Their horses are so nice! The generals looked at the fine Arabian war horses, their eyes shining with admiration.

Arabian horses, one of the finest horse breeds in the world, are known for their endurance. The war horses ridden by these Arab imperial cavalry were all good horses, and the generals of the Tang Army would not have succeeded if they were not hot.

"It's easy to do, we beat the big dog. Just grab their horses. ”

"That's right, that's right. Not for anything else. For the sake of this horse alone, we have to defeat the Great Dog. ”

The generals were gearing up and eager to fight the Arab Empire immediately.

The allure of war horses is really great!

At the same time as the cavalry of the Arab Empire lined up, the cavalry of the Tang Army, under the leadership of Yang Siqiao, drove out of Kabul and came to the city to take battle. The movements of the cavalry of the Tang Army were very neat and neat, and it didn't take long for them to form a formation, and a solemn and murderous aura rushed straight into the sky, and at a glance, they knew that this was an iron-blooded division, and it was the elite who had been baptized on the battlefield.

"Good! The cavalry of the Chinese has been in battle for a long time, and it is murderous, which is elite. Gu Taibai's eyes lit up and he appreciated it greatly.

"Unfortunately, he met us, the faithful servants of Allah." Immediately after, Gu Taibai was disdainful again, and sneered: "The cavalry of the Chinese is destined not to please you. ”

At this moment, the Arab cavalry began to charge.

"Ready, rush!" With an order, the cavalry of the Arab Empire, armed with spears and lined up in a neat battle formation, rushed towards the cavalry of the Tang Army.

The Arab Empire is worthy of being an empire that has dominated the Middle East for hundreds of years, the cavalry is well-trained, and the charge has the power of overwhelming mountains and seas, and the sound of hooves is like thunder, shaking the ground and trembling.

"Rumble!" At the place where the horse's hooves are stepped, the smoke and dust are filled, which is extremely amazing.

"It's very aggressive, it's good." Yang Siqiao saw it in his eyes, nodded slightly, and then disdainfully, and said, "I will let you know what is called a charge." ”

"Ready, rush!" Yang Siqiao's high-pitched voice sounded, and his right hand waved down heavily.

"Rumble!" The cavalry of the Tang Army, holding their horse lances, lined up in a neat battle formation, like the tide of the sea, rushed towards the cavalry of the Arab Empire.

If you look at it from the air, you will find that the two armies are like two mountains, colliding violently, bursting out of blood flowers and falling many corpses.

Both cavalry were armed with long weapons, and the Arab Imperial cavalry was armed with spears, and they galloped like a forest of spears, which looked very scary. The Tang army was equipped with a horse lance, which was held in his hand, like a forest of lance, and was extraordinary.

When the two armies met, the long weapon in his hand stabbed the opponent fiercely, killing and wounding many people, and screams came and went.

Then, as if they had a heart, the two armies decisively threw away the long weapons in their hands, and the Arab Imperial cavalry drew their scimitars and greeted the Tang cavalry fiercely. Tang Jun pulled out a horizontal knife and slashed very fiercely, fiercely and fiercely.

For a while, you came and went, and the two cavalry fought inseparably.

The horsemanship of both cavalry is exquisite, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. As for slashing, the knife technique is equally good, and no one can have the upper hand.

"It's rare! The cavalry of the Great Cannibals is no weaker than ours. The Tang army general watched the two cavalry fight, his eyes lit up, he was surprised, and he was happy.

Surprisingly, the Tang army finally had an opponent, and met an opponent who could fight with the Tang cavalry, such an opponent that the Tang Dynasty had not encountered since its creation. Even the Turks, who were famous for their cavalry, did not have such elite cavalry.

Although the Turks were nomadic people who started with cavalry and archery, their equipment was not as good as that of the Tang Army, their tactics were not as advanced as the Tang Army, and their orders were not as strict as those of the Tang Army. When encountering the Tang army, the Turks naturally suffered losses.

And the cavalry of the Arab Empire was no worse than the Tang army in terms of training, orders, and tactics.

There are too few such opponents, and you can meet such an opponent and have a big fight. It must be enjoyable. That's why the generals rejoice.

"I didn't expect that. The cavalry of the Chinese is also very good, it is not worse than us. "In essence, the Arab Empire was still a nomadic people during this period, and mounted archery was their specialty, and the cavalry of the Tang Army was no worse than them, which really surprised them for a while.

"It's not surprising." Gu Taibai is very knowledgeable about China and is familiar with Chinese history, commenting: "China has been since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Facing a huge threat from the northern nomads, first the Xiongnu, then the Xianbei, and now the Turks, these nomads who are skilled in riding and archery have been wiped out by the Chinese. One of the important reasons why the Chinese were able to destroy these nomads was that the Chinese cavalry was very powerful. ”

Gu Taibai's comment is very accurate.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, northern China was threatened by nomadic peoples. There were the Xiongnu first, and then there were Xianbei. By the Tang Dynasty there were the Turks, three powerful nomadic peoples known for their mounted archery. They were all destroyed by our ancestors. One of the important reasons why our ancestors were able to do this is that our ancestors formed a large number of cavalry, and the cavalry was no worse than the nomads.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty was pitiful, because there were too few horses, and high-ranking officials had to ride ox carts. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because of the success of the "horse administration", the Han Dynasty mastered a large number of war horses, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the military strategy of the Han Dynasty, from strategic defense to strategic offense, and formed a large number of cavalry.

This is a good illustration that mounted archery can be trained, and as long as it is properly trained, our cavalry is not inferior to the nomads. In the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty even forgot such a glorious historical experience, and even came up with a bloody strategy of "riding by foot", and in the end, it was the cavalry of the Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolian nomads who galloped across the country and destroyed the Song Dynasty.

"Although the Chinese cavalry shot well, unfortunately, they met us, the faithful servants of Allah. We teach the Chinese how to ride horses and shoot arrows. Immediately after, Gu Taibai was disdainful again.

The Arab Empire was still a nomadic people during this period, and they were proficient in the way of riding and archery, which was their housekeeping skill, and Gu Taibai certainly had confidence.

However, the progress of the next battle made Gu Taibai lose his eyes.

The cavalry of the Tang Army fought impressively, and the cavalry of the Arab Empire was helpless against the cavalry of the Tang Army no matter what, and they paid a lot of price, but they were still evenly matched.

The "......" cavalry is one of the trump cards of the Arab Empire, and it is too amazing to be able to do anything about the Tang Army, and the generals of the Arab Empire are shocked in their eyes and hearts.

Later, the Arab Empire began to change its tactics, still using the "three-man" tactic, with three people as a tactical group, one attacking, one defending, and one supporting.

At the same time that the cavalry of the Arab Empire changed their tactics, the cavalry of the Tang Army also used the same tactics, and the result was still that you came and went, and no one could help anyone.

"What do you say, the Great Eater Cavalry?" Li Longji asked.

"Great! Very remarkable! The generals said in unison.

"The Great Food Cavalry is indeed very good, and it is the strongest enemy that Datang has encountered over the years." Zhang Shuo commented and said, "However, if we send out the elite, we will definitely be able to defeat them." First, because their armor is not as good as ours, our elite cavalry is equipped with Mingguang armor, and it is difficult for the Great Food Cavalry to break through the defense. The second is that our hand crossbows have not yet been used. If you shoot with a crossbow on the way to charge, you will definitely kill and wound a lot of cavalry, and create favorable conditions for the next battle. ”

Zhang said that this comment was very reasonable, and in order to touch the details of the Arab Empire, the Tang army did not use a crossbow. Hand crossbows, the cavalry of the Tang Army is one per person, if they are shot on the way to charge, with the poor defense of the Arab Imperial cavalry, it is difficult to block the hand crossbow, and there will be many casualties.

"If we encounter the Chinese cavalry again, we will definitely win." The generals of the Arab Empire were ten in confidence.

"No!" Gu Taibai was very sober and said: "They didn't use crossbows, they didn't send out elite cavalry equipped with Mingguang armor, if such a hard-fought battle happened again, we wouldn't win." ”

"Withdraw." The goal of touching the details of the other party has been achieved, and the two sides have invariably issued an order to retreat. (To be continued......)
