The trebuchet poses a huge threat to the Tang Army's strong crossbow, and if it cannot be destroyed in time, it will pose a great threat to the Tang Army, which should be completed as soon as possible. Even if Chen Xuanli and Xue Zhi didn't say anything, the soldiers knew what to do.

The Mo knife man who came with the cavalry jumped off his horse, clutched the heavy Mo knife, and quickly came to the trebuchet, and the Mo knife in his hand slashed hard. There was a loud bang, and the trebuchet was partially broken, and after a burst of knives, the trebuchet was completely damaged.

The trebuchet is very large, and if it is chopped with a horizontal knife, it will take a long time to destroy, so Li Longkit transferred some Mo knife hands with him, which is a good idea. The Mo knife is heavy, and the strength of the knife can be imagined, and it can destroy a trebuchet in a while.

In this way, under the protection of the cavalry, the Mo swordsmen destroyed the trebuchets one after another.

"Damn it! Damn Mo Knife! Gu Taibai looked at the destroyed trebuchets, his heart was dripping blood, and he cursed Mo Dao vigorously.

"Quick! Take back the trebuchet for me. "The trebuchet is too important for Gu Taibai, if the trebuchet is destroyed by the Tang army, he will lose the weapon to suppress the Tang army's strong crossbow, and the heavy cavalry will not be useful. If the hoplites did not come in handy, then it would be difficult for the Arab Empire to win the battle.

Gu Taibai roared and personally led the elite to deal with the Tang cavalry, wanting to recapture the trebuchet.

"Good time!" Chen Xuanli and Xue Zhi led the cavalry of the Tang Army, entangled with him, dragged him down, and made it difficult for him to move forward.

"Damn! Hateful! Gu Taibai couldn't break through the barrier of the Tang cavalry, and watched the trebuchet being destroyed by the Tang army.

It didn't take long for all the trebuchets to be destroyed by the Don army. This meant that the Arab Imperial Army had lost its most powerful weapon for long-range attacks. There is no more choice but to do the Tang Army.

The armies of the Arab Empire did not have strong crossbows. The most powerful long-range attack was the trebuchet, which was destroyed, which was tantamount to losing an arm for the Arab imperial army.

"Good!" Zhang Shuo waved the command flag in his hand, ordered loudly, and said, "Cut off their retreat." ”

Chen Xuanli and Xue Zhi saw the Ling Qi waving, knew what Zhang said, and said loudly: "Cut off the retreat of the big dog." You can't get away with it. ”

Cutting off the enemy's retreat first and then attacking is the Tang Army's consistent style of play, and this time is no exception.

"Attack!" After giving the order to the cavalry to cut off the retreat of the Arab Imperial army, Zhang Shuo waved the command flag again and commanded the Tang army to attack.

The Tang army can attack and defend well, defend like an iron bucket, and be indestructible; The attack is like a mountain and a sea, and no one can resist.

The Tang Army, under the command of Zhang Shuo, dispatched the whole army. Like the tide of the sea, it pressed against the armies of the Arab Empire.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! "The first to strike is the crossbow array. Countless powerful crossbows appeared in the air, weaving a huge net of arrows and enveloping the Arab imperial army.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! "The first to be unlucky were the hoplites, who were shot by crossbow arrows and let out a terrible scream before death, like slaughtered pigs.

The heavy cavalry was used to charge the formation, of course, it had to be deployed in front of the military formation, and when the Tang army attacked, it would bear the brunt of it.

Although the hoplites were good, when they encountered a crossbow array, they had no power to fight back, and they could only be slaughtered.

Hide? That's impossible. Because the hoplites were too bulky and not flexible enough.

"Allah, please bless your faithful servant and send down divine punishment to kill these hateful and hateful Chinese." Gu Taibai looked at the heavy cavalry that kept falling, his face was distorted, but he had no choice but to pray to Allah, who did not have zài.

However, Allah did not manifest himself, and the hoplites were still being shot by the Tang army, suffering heavy casualties.

The hoplite cavalry is one of the trump cards of the Arab Empire, each of which is selected and carefully trained, and is the top meat of Gu Taibai. Now, he can only watch being slaughtered, and he even has the heart to die.

Soon, the Don army shot the hoplites, and then the swordsmen and archers behind the hoplites.

Even heavy cavalry, a class with extremely thick armor, was not enough to look at in front of a strong crossbow, let alone a swordman and an archer, who was quickly killed by a strong crossbow.

The deadly strong crossbow finally stopped, and Gu Taibai not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but his mood became heavier.

Because the Mo Dao Battle Array has appeared.

Thousands of Mo knife hands held heavy Mo knives, lined up in a neat battle formation, and pressed up like a sea of mountains. Thousands of bright Mo knives formed a dazzling knife wall, giving people a heavy sense of oppression, making people almost suffocated.

Don't talk about slashing, just looking at the scene in front of you is enough to make people despair.

Sure enough, the Modao battle array came to the front of the Arab Imperial army and began to exert its might, like a greedy meat grinder, ruthlessly devouring the lives of the Arab Imperial army.

The heavy cavalry is very aggressive, however, the attack power of the Mo Dao battle array is not below the heavy cavalry, and the consequences of the Mo Dao battle array can be imagined.

When encountering heavy cavalry, it is difficult to parry, only to be slaughtered. Similarly, in the face of the Modao battle array, the Arab Imperial army had no power to fight back, but could only wait for death.

The Modao battle array was incomparably sharp, ruthlessly penetrating into the battle array of the Arab Imperial Army, as if entering a no-man's land, slaughtering and slaughtering, and everywhere it passed, it was red.

When the battle came to this, the sharp weapons that the Arab Imperial army relied on to gallop across the country, the trebuchets and heavy cavalry were no longer there, and the Arab Empire lost its most powerful support, and the Turkic and Tibetan armies were no different.

"Withdraw!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Gu Taibai took a deep breath, calmed down, and decisively ordered a retreat.

This time, he led his army eastward in preparation for the future march into the Tang Dynasty, hoping to conquer Afghanistan and Pakistan and make these two places a base for advance. This withdrawal means that he has failed, and he can no longer build a forward base.

This was unacceptable for Gu Taibai, who was bent on conquering China. However, this is the state of the war. If you don't withdraw, you can't do it. Not to mention how uncomfortable he felt in his heart. He was vomiting blood.

Not withdrawing? Then it really became a waiting for death.

Although the current situation is unfavorable, as long as the troops are withdrawn, there is still a glimmer of hope, and it is possible to make a comeback. If you stay here and fight the Tang army, you will inevitably be annihilated.

The disposition of Gu Taibai was correct, and the troops of the Arab Empire received an order and began to retreat.

The armies of the Arab Empire were well-trained and commanded. Although the battle situation was unfavorable, there was no panic when retreating, and in an orderly manner, they evacuated the battlefield in turn according to the order.

"Not bad! Very good! Li Longji saw it in his eyes and appreciated it greatly.

The true elite can not only win battles, but also maintain military discipline and maintain order after defeat. Only such an army is the real elite.

The Arab Imperial Army was such an elite.

"But. What's the use of that? Immediately after, Li Longji shook his head disdainfully.

Really. The Don army poured up from all directions to besiege the Arab imperial army.

Gu Taibai led 50,000 elite expeditions to the east, leaving a part of the garrison in the conquered land, as well as casualties along the way, and only 40,000 people arrived in Kabul. And the Tang army arrived with nearly 200,000 people, five times as many as him, and had an absolute advantage in troops, once it was surrounded, it was enough to wipe out Gu Taibai.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! Gu Taibai knew very well that if he was surrounded by the Tang army, he would be completely annihilated. The only way to avoid this tragedy is to withdraw before the Tang army surrounds it.

However, the movements of the Tang army were fast, where did the Arab imperial army have time to retreat, and the Arab imperial army was constantly surrounded.

"Let's go!" Seeing that it was impossible to withdraw the army, Gu Taibai had to grit his teeth and lead the more than 1,000 guards around him to flee first.

He can't run away, or he'll be done with it.

In this situation, one can escape, and one cannot wait.

"Chase!" Zhang Xiaofei was closest to Gu Taibai and led the army to chase after him from behind.

"Yang Siqiao, you lead an army of 50,000 and pursue from behind." Li Longji saw it in his eyes and ordered Yang Sixuan.

"Yes." Yang Siqiao received the order, led 50,000 Tang troops, and pursued and killed from behind.

The Arab imperial troops who remained here did not give up their resistance because Gu Taibai had fled, they showed enough courage and still fought to the end.

"For Allah!"

"For Allah!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Unyielding in the face of death!"

The cries of the Arab imperial army came and went, and they clenched their weapons and fought hard.

These soldiers of the Arab Empire were religious fanatics, who could abandon their wives and children for the sake of Allah, who did not exist, and could die for Allah. Although they were besieged by the Tang army, they still fought to the death to the end, which is also reasonable.

However, they encountered the Tang army, and even if they did not give in to the death and fought to the end, the result did not change, and they were finally annihilated. Moreover, the casualties they inflicted on the Tang army were not large, because the Tang army was the Modao battle formation to open the way, and when they encountered the Modao battle array, no matter how brave the Arab imperial soldiers were, it was also futile.

However, it was precisely because of their desperate and stubborn resistance that it took a long time for the Tang army to annihilate them, and it took a whole day to annihilate them all.

None of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Arab Empire flinched, and all fought desperately until they were killed or collapsed from exhaustion.

Only a handful of Arab soldiers were captured alive. Even if they were captured, they still did not give in, cursing, insulting the Tang army, begging Allah to send divine punishment.

"What a bloody battle!" Li Longji rode the Night Lion King, covered in blood, like a bloody man, holding the blood-dripping horizontal knife, and was greatly moved.

"Yes, what a bloody battle! It's been a long time since there's been such a bloody battle! Chen Xuanli was also emotional.

"This should be the most powerful, tenacious, most fearless and most heroic army that Datang has encountered since its founding! Although they are the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, they are worthy of admiration. Zhang said with a look of appreciation, and said: "Prince, such an enemy is respectable, and they should not be allowed to be violently corpsed in the wild, and they should be buried." ”

"yes." The generals echoed in unison.

"That's right. They deserve admiration, so let them settle in the ground. Li Longji also agreed.

As a result, the Tang army began to bury the corpses of the soldiers of the Arab Empire, and what is strange is that the Tang army did not complain, but was willing to act. (To be continued......)
