Chapter 46: The First Round
Gu Taibai is a famous general of the Arab Empire, one of the two most important generals under Yousuf, with outstanding military talent, with his vision, he can naturally see that the Tang Army is very good, is a strong opponent of the Arab Empire.
The speed of the Tang army's formation was even better than that of the Arab Empire, and the purge of the formation was also superior.
Arrays and formations are the most basic things of an army, and they can often reflect the essence of the army.
"Gu Taibai, listen: we are already in formation, it's time for you to attack." Chen Xuanli rode a horse, came to the front of the formation, and rushed to the ancient Taibai Road.
"Nope! You attack! Gu Taibai shook his head.
He wanted the Tang army to attack first, to see how strong the Tang army was in attacking, so as to test the defense of the Arab imperial ** team.
"We are the hosts, you are the guests, of course the guests come first." The corners of Chen Xuanli's mouth twitched, and he sneered, saying, "Kabul, where we arrived first, is the master." ”
These words are ridiculing Gu Taibai's movements for being too slow and falling behind Tang Jun.
"Hmph." In terms of military progress, Gu Taibai was indeed lagging behind the Tang Army, and when he heard this, he was very unhappy, snorted coldly, and said, "As you wish." ”
"Attack! Hack these infidels to death! Gu Taibai pulled out his scimitar, swung it at Tang Jun, and shouted loudly.
"Hack the infidels!" The 10,000 infantry of the Arab Empire roared angrily, their eyes seemed to spew fire, they lined up in a neat battle formation, clenched their scimitars, and rushed towards the Tang army as if they were fierce and vicious.
Although it was charging, its formation was very neat, there was no chaos, and everyone was howling. Like a hungry wolf.
"Good!" Li Longji at the head of the city. And the generals will see it. Thumbs up.
"The Tang Dynasty has fought for many years, destroying dozens of countries, Goryeo, Turkic, Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Tianzhu have been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. However, Datang has never met such a good army, and it is a big cannibal! Li Longji was greatly moved.
It is not fortunate that the Arab Empire was able to run rampant for hundreds of years and destroy countless countries. It's about extraordinary strength. If nothing else, just look at the attack of the infantry in front of you, you can know that this is an overwhelming offensive, full of might.
"Datang finally has an opponent!" The generals were not only not afraid, but excited.
The Tang people are still martial, even the scholars are proud to carry swords, and meeting a strong opponent is exactly what they are happy to see, and they can't help but be excited.
"Brothers: The big dogs are here, and we need to teach them how to use knives!" Chen Xuanli looked at the influx of Arab Imperial infantry in the array. Shout loudly.
"Haha!" The Don infantry laughed excitedly and clenched the horizontal knife in his hand. Prepare to fight.
Finally, the infantry of the Arab Empire arrived, and the scimitars in their hands slashed at the Tang army. Their knife skills are very exquisite, all of them are killing moves in the battle array, the knife is deadly, there is no superfluous action, this shot is fierce and ruthless.
"Good knife technique!" The Tang army infantry saw it in their eyes, their eyes lit up, and they were very excited, and said: "It's a pity that we met our warriors of the Tang Dynasty." ”
The sword skills of the Arab Emperor ** team are absolutely first-class, and they have won the appreciation of the Tang Army. However, Tang Jun's sword skills were no worse than this, and although Tang Jun appreciated it, he didn't take it to heart.
"Come on! Big dog eater, let you see what is even called the real knife technique! Tang Jun roared, and the horizontal knife in his hand slashed down fiercely, and the shot was ruthless and fierce.
"Good knife technique! Good knife technique! Gu Taibai's eyes lit up and he appreciated it very much.
"The Chinese are powerful, worthy of being a country that has been strong for more than a thousand years! Unfortunately, we are servants of Allah, and with Allah bless us, we will surely be able to defeat the Chinese. "Gu Taibai is extremely confident in the sword skills of the Arab Emperor ** team.
"Poof! Poop! Poop! An earth-shattering sound of metal sounded, and sparks flew everywhere.
The horizontal knives of the Tang Army and the scimitars of the Arab Empire slammed together, bursting out countless sparks, and there was a deafening sound of metal crashing.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! There were also screams of wounded and dead soldiers of the two armies, one after another, resounding.
It is impossible to see which side is more advantageous for a while, and it should be evenly matched.
"Come again!" In this round of collisions, the soldiers on both sides were not only not depressed, but became more excited, roared loudly, and shot more fiercely.
The officers and men of the two armies met again, and the earth-shattering sound of metal crashing sounded again, and the screams came one after another.
"Good! Good! Good! Li Longji and the others watched the two armies fight the top of the city, and they felt excited. This is the most exciting and fierce battle that Li Longji has encountered when he came to the Tang Dynasty.
Even the last time the Turks were exterminated, there was no such wonderful collision.
"Good! The Chinese are good! Gu Taibai was also excited, shook his fist fiercely, and praised loudly.
In this way, 20,000 soldiers on both sides fought back and forth, and no one could help anyone for a while, and there were more and more corpses on the ground.
"Almost, let the big dog see our cooperation." Li Longji watched it for a while, and he already had a general understanding of the combat power of the infantry of the Arab Empire, and it was time to show cooperation.
As soon as Li Longji's idea arose, Chen Xuanli put it into action, only to see the order flag in his hand unfurled, and the Tang army began to cooperate, every group of three, one person attacked, one person defended, and one person supported, the attack and defense were measured, the advance and retreat were orderly, and the fight was impressive.
"Well, the cooperation of the Chinese is very good, and we are not bad." Gu Taibai saw it in his eyes and admired it, and as soon as he waved the flag in his hand, the infantry of the Arab Empire also changed, and they also cooperated.
What is surprising is that the Arab Emperor ** team also uses the "trio" tactic, one person to attack, one person to defend, and one person to support, which is exactly the same as the Tang Army.
"Interesting, interesting." Li Longji was very happy when he saw it.
"I really didn't expect that the big dog would also use this style of play." Yang Simiao's eyes widened, and he carefully looked at the fight between the two armies, his eyes blazing.
This kind of play has existed since ancient times, and the first to adopt this style of play was the famous general Bai Qi of the Qin State. He used this style of play, which made the Qin army's combat power superior. Zhang said that people who are familiar with the history of the war are very familiar with the history of the war, and said: "This style of play should be the best way." It's not surprising that Big Food adopts this style of play. ”
"Threesome" tactics. It has been used from ancient times to the present day. That's the most basic tactical unit. Although our ancestors used it for a long time and it was not the prerogative of China, it is reasonable for the Arab empire to use this tactic as well.
"You say, how is the combat power of the Great Eclipse Infantry?" Li Longji's eyes sparkled, and he asked loudly.
"Very nice! Very good! The generals affirmed in unison.
"This should be the strongest opponent we have ever faced, and it is interesting to fight against such an opponent." Xue Zhi clenched his hands into fists. Big is exciting.
At the same time, Gu Taibai was also asking his subordinates: "What do you say, how are the Chinese?" ”
"Awesome! Very powerful! ”
"The Chinese were able to take the Persian royal family from under our noses back then, not because they were lucky, but because they knew it."
The generals of the Arab Empire were also extremely positive about the Tang army's performance.
The opponent is also admirable, and the Arab Empire will not erase the merits of the Don Army.
"Then what do you say, what are the weaknesses of the Tang Army's infantry army?" Gu Taibai asked again.
"Well equipped, well trained, and well commanded. The tactics are advanced and there are almost no weaknesses. If we insist on winning. There will be a high price. ”
"yes. Unless we take advantage of the favorable terrain, we will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties if we encounter it like this. ”
The generals of the Arab Imperial ** team were quite worried.
After fighting for so long, the two armies are still helpless, and they are still evenly matched, if they fight like this, the Arab imperial ** team will not be able to please them.
"What are the weaknesses of the Great Eclipse Army, you say?" Li Longji also asked the same question.
"If it is only in terms of training, equipment, orders, and tactics, the big dog eats no weaknesses." Zhang Xiaofei raised his eyebrows, a smile on his face, and said, "If you look at it comprehensively, armor is the Achilles heel of the big dog. Their armor cannot be compared with ours. ”
"I didn't expect it, Zhang Xiaofei, you will also use your brain." Li Longji nodded appreciatively.
"Huh." The generals laughed in unison.
Zhang Xiaofei was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
He was right that the greatest weakness of the Arab Empire was its armor, which was far inferior to that of the Don Army. If it encounters the Ming Guang armor of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how sharp the slashing of the Arab imperial army is, it will be helpless against the Tang army.
The 10,000 Tang Army infantry outside the city were not equipped with Mingguang armor, and their protection was much worse. If the Tang Army dispatches the most elite infantry, that is, the infantry equipped with Mingguang armor, no matter how powerful the sword skills of the Arab Emperor ** team are, it will only be a spark to slash at the Tang Army.
And the Tang army cut on them, it is going to kill.
"My lord, in this round of fighting, we are evenly matched, and when we meet the Tang Army again, we also know it in our hearts."
"Yes. The Tang army is not more powerful than us, and if we fight again, we will definitely be able to defeat the Tang army. ”
The generals of the Arab Empire were greatly satisfied.
"No!" Gu Taibai was very sober, reminded the generals, and said: "We are no worse than the Tang Army this time, if we meet again, we may not be able to win the Tang Army." Even, there is a possibility of defeat. ”
"My lord, why do you say that?"
"General, you are the ambition of the Changtang Army, destroying our own prestige."
The generals of the Arab Empire were dissatisfied.
"Take a look at it, have you ever seen the Bright Light Armor?" Gu Taibai reminded the generals: "Mingguang armor is the armor that the Tang army is most eager to obtain, and we don't have such armor. These 10,000 Tang Army infantry are just ordinary troops, and if they dispatch elite infantry equipped with Mingguang armor, we won't be able to defeat them. ”
In order to find out the details of the Tang army, Gu Taibai sent elite infantry this time, but it was a tie with the general Tang army infantry. If the Tang Army dispatched elite infantry, the infantry of the Arab Empire would suffer a big loss.
"Mingguang Armor?" The generals of the Arab Empire suddenly woke up and were greatly surprised.
"Although Mingguang armor is good, it is not much, even the Tang Army can only be equipped by elites, so you don't have to take it to heart." Gu Taibai knew the Tang Dynasty very well, and said: "You must remember: whenever you encounter a Tang army equipped with Mingguang armor, you must be careful. ”
"Lord Xie reminds." The generals commanded in unison.
As the fierce rivals of the Tang Dynasty, these generals studied the Tang Dynasty very well and knew the power of Mingguang armor.
"That's the end of this formation, let's retreat." Almost simultaneously, the order was given to retreat from both sides. (To be continued......)
