Four hundred heavily armored cavalry lined up in a line, and they seemed to be able to crush the Tang army's front by simply holding up the cavalry guns in their hands and pushing them over. Behind these 400 heavy cavalry, there were two groups of Arab light cavalry, and the existence of the embodied cavalry was to help them block the heavy arrows of the Tang army.

Duan Xiushi said in amazement: "If this kind of thing is beaten hard, it may not even be able to penetrate their armor." ”

Li Siye: "Of course you can't fight hard, the horse armor and the people with the armor make the horse's load-bearing has reached the limit, and the strongest is also the most fragile." Our Fuyuan crossbow team is equipped with crescent shovel arrows, see the horse's legs under the equipment, the height cannot be lower than the knee, first use the crescent shovel arrows to break their horses' legs! ”

As the name suggests, the crescent shovel arrow is an arrow in the shape of a crescent shovel, and its edge is a round of crescent moon, and this crescent moon is facing forward with an inner arc, which is specially used to deal with flagpoles and horse legs.

After Li Siye gave the order, Duan Xiushi immediately ordered people to line up the Fuyuan crossbows densely, and the width was comparable to the formation of the cavalry of the Great Food Heavy Cavalry. They were still more than 200 steps away from the advance of the Tang army, but the attacks of the crossbows were mostly parabola, and in order to shovel the horse's legs, this distance must be very close, almost reaching the requirements of flat shooting.

Therefore, before the more than 100 Fuyuan crossbows were launched, the Tang army still used arrows to cover the rear of the mounted cavalry, effectively killing the enemy's living forces.

The enemy's mounted horse armor was close in front of them, and their heavy armor glittered like scales, and the people on the horses were also wrapped in armor and chain mail, and even their faces were hidden under the silver chain mail.

Duan Xiushi stood behind the crossbow of the bed with the Lingqi in his hand, narrowing his small eyes and wrinkling his nose, his pupils were deep and dignified, like an accurate high-speed camera. When the other party approached more than seventy paces away, he waved his hand and shouted: "Aim, crescent moon shovel arrows, shoot!" ”

The soldiers knocked on the crossbow machine, and the crossbow arrows poured out a clear light like silver light, and the naked eye could see that dozens of horses suddenly broke their legs, and collapsed to the ground like iron mountains.

The cavalry commander in the rear hurriedly shouted: "Disperse!" Disperse! Don't go word for word. ”

In order to reduce casualties, the heavy cavalry widened the distance between them, or staggered back and forth, and another round of crescent arrows came, and more than 20 horses fell to the ground.

After the third round of crescent shovel arrows were fired, the distance between the enemy and us was nearly forty paces, and less than half of the mounted cavalry was killed. Above! ”

A thousand soldiers ran to the front row, and each of them, in addition to carrying provisions, also carried a dozen fierce fire mines, some held in their hands like lead balls, and some tied to arrows like iron pipes, but at such a close distance, even a woman could throw the fierce fire thunder at the feet of the mounted cavalry.

Li Siye personally commanded and ordered: "Pay attention to the burning progress of the twist, don't throw it too early and don't throw it far!" Fry me! ”

This is a standard modern gunpowder ratio, not to mention the power, its shell is still a cast iron structure, when it is shattered, shrapnel flies sideways, whether it is a horse's legs or an unprotected horse's belly can not withstand it. In the rolling flames, the horses in horse armor were blown up, and with the replenishment of the crescent shovel arrows, only more than 30 of the more than 400 heavy cavalry were left to survive, and they restrained the reins of the horses and dared to rush forward.

Ziad shouted angrily on his horse, "Isn't this witch's heretic magic not over!" Fast! The heavy cavalry was ordered to retreat, and the light cavalry quickly supplemented the attack. ”

Li Siye responded calmly and shouted: "Rifle team set up guns!" The Modao team is behind! Get ready! ”

The soldiers of the infantry team stepped forward and set up their spears, and these large food light cavalry were bound to dare not collide with them, so they could only attack by peeling potatoes, that is, the cavalry charged to a dozen paces away and then slowed down and raised their spears, because the length of the lances on horses was much higher than that of the rifles, and the cavalry could get close to the stabs.

At this time, it was time to test the discipline and psychological quality of the Tang army's military formation, the heavy infantry holding large shields quickly filled the position to the front, resisted the stabbing of the cavalry spear, and the rear horse lance stretched out from the gap in the shield to stab the man and stab the horse, and the crossbowmen in the rear aimed at the horse's head to shoot.

When the enemy cavalry was getting old and about to retreat, the real killer Mo Dao team rushed up after him, they lined up in a steel killing wall and slashed at the enemy cavalry, the war horses let out a burst of screams and fell to the ground, and the blood mist sprayed the cavalry and let out a scream. This kind of blow is extremely devastating to the psychology and will of the Great Food Army.

The autumn wind blew, and the blood mist drifted up against the Tang army's military formation, and everyone could smell this blood gas, and their stomachs were overturned.

Li Siye shouted loudly: "Dun Biga, it's time for you to exert your strength!" Outflank and cover left and right, and don't let the enemy escape! ”

"Han Navy! Cover the cavalry of Don Viga, and don't let the cannibal infantry meet the enemy cavalry! ”

Bi Sishen waved the command flag with both hands, and Ge Lulu Wanqi kicked up the billowing dust and pounced out of the middle army, going around the front army of the left wing and the front army of the right wing, and slashing diagonally towards the flank and rear of the Great Food Army. Tian Zhen led the Han Navy to penetrate from the right and insert diagonally into the middle of the enemy's infantry and cavalry, their goal was to be the first to crush the cavalry of the Great Cannibal, as long as the opponent's cavalry force was eliminated, even if the infantry escaped, there was a way to catch them up.

It has only been a quarter of the time since the two sides started the war, but all kinds of strange tricks have emerged in an endless stream, and the formation changes rapidly, requiring extremely fast reaction speed and correct decision-making, so don't look at Li Siye riding on a horse to command Ruoding, but his heart is extremely nervous, which can be seen from his hand holding the reins of the horse tightly.

Ziad's voice was already hoarse, but he still couldn't save the defeat in front of him, the two cavalry of the enemy army held back his elite cavalry and moved slowly, and the Mo Dao team of the left and right front chambers of the Six Flower Array waved their blades and pushed forward. In order to save the cavalry, he took all the infantry forward.

The collapse of the high mountain occurred in an instant, and the rout of the army also occurred in an instant, and the cavalry of the Great Food Army suffered from the double attack of the Modao team and the Tang cavalry, and lost the will to fight. Due to the strong enemy on three sides, they could only flee in the direction of their own infantry in a panic, and in turn rushed the infantry formation.

"Steady! Steady! While Ziad tried his best to salvage the defeat, he felt that the tide was gone, and shouted: "Withdraw!" Retreat in the direction of Mulu! ”

As soon as he gave the order to retreat, the Great Food Army began to retreat in groups, fleeing along the dense river beach in front of Kangju City.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Li Siye didn't have time to celebrate excitedly, and immediately ordered: "The Hanhai cavalry and the Qarluq cavalry pursued the Great Food Army, and the infantry formed a long snake formation to search for the fish that slipped through the net, maximize our victory advantage, and annihilate the enemy army on the way to escape." ”

The cavalry of the Tang army pursued all the way forward until they reached the city of Nasebo, eighty miles away, and General Dashi Ziyad once again showed his superb escape skills, and fled to the Kizilkum Desert with only two thousand guards and white camel troops.

Two successive battles in the city of Thirsty Sai and Samarkand knocked out the soul of Ziyad, and also wiped out all the troops deployed in the river, and even most of the troops in Khorasan were lost. Even if he returns to the city, he will not be able to face the reproach of his superior, Abu ***, and the adults will be responsible for their own failures.

If Li Siye still dares to advance forward, it will be an armed invasion of their territory, which will surely make the caliph in Baghdad very angry, and will the caliph have to mobilize the whole army to stop this beast from the east?
