The Golden Cloth Bagjira finally arrived on his horse, and he and the Kshatriya warriors behind him were truly brave, shouting a gruntling of tragic language, as if they were going to cut down all these despicable sneak attackers.

Feng Changqing suddenly blew the bamboo whistle again, and all the iron horsemen who received the enemy quickly turned their horses' heads and retreated behind the captain who was carrying the flag. Even as they retreated, they still turned around on their horses and fired arrows, continuing to harvest the lives of the North Indian army.

Bagjira angrily took off his bow and fired an arrow in the back, hitting one of the Don soldiers in the back, who fell diagonally on his horse. The rest of the warriors followed him in pursuit, and the distance between them grew wider and wider.

The god of war, Bagjira, probably also knew the reason for the poor Komo to chase, and shouted to stop everyone's pursuing horses, and he raised his bow at a forty-five degree angle, and shot another retreating Tang cavalry when the enemy fled a hundred paces away, causing the surrounding North Indian soldiers to raise their spears and cheer, as if they had achieved a great victory.

It was a small hors d'oeuvre before the Battle of the Ganges, where the North Indian rear army lost thousands of low-caste soldiers, and the Tang army lost two of them, both of whom were shot by the god of war, Balaji. Suffice it to say that the Brahmins and Kshatriyas represented the highest fighting power in India.

Balaji kept his senses awake amid the cheers of the soldiers, the Don army would definitely not attack only this once, he decisively divided half of his personal guard troops and left them at the tail of the ranks, and lined up the war elephants on the east side of the marching line to defend against enemy attacks. It was absolutely impossible for the Tang army to get out of the water of the Ganges River in the west.

After this small trial, the Tang army had a preliminary understanding of the combat effectiveness of the North Indian army, and only a small handful of Kshatriya officers and Vaishyas soldiers were strong, and most of the Vaishyas and Shudras were defenseless and had a weak will to fight.

Feng Changqing also found that the biggest problem in the North Indian army was that even the standardization of cold weapons had not been completed, they could not find two identical weapons in the hands of the enemy, the length of the spears in the hands of the soldiers was inconsistent, and their armor and weapons were unique. Even the officers, a wealthy officer may have a broad-edged sword with a gold-encrusted hilt, and even a cobra relief carved into the hilt. Another officer may have a soft sword or a double knife in his hand. The obvious difference in weapons made it impossible for them to form a tight and effective battle formation.

The most affected by the standardization is the bow and arrow, as we all know that the strong bow should be equipped with a weight arrow, two stone bows, one stone bow, and eight bucket bows are different arrows. The craftsmen of the Northern Capital Armament Supervision customized two standards for the Tang Army's standard bow, the infantry longbow was nine buckets, the cavalry horn bow was eight buckets, and all kinds of crossbows and horn bows were standardized, so that all the arrows between the longbows could be universal, and all the horn bows and arrows could also be universal. Only when the standardization is completed, the uniform accuracy of the bow and arrow can be guaranteed, and the intensive blow of the bow and crossbow can be formed.

The unified standard of military weapons did not originate from the Tang Dynasty, and the thousands of arrows unearthed by the Qin Terracotta Warriors were measured with vernier calipers, and the size of the arrows was within one millimeter. It is enough to show that the Qin Dynasty was the earliest era to complete the standardization of cold weapons.

In this way, Feng Changqing was even more confident in victory, and in order not to give the enemy a chance to breathe, he ordered the scouts to reconnoiter the changes in the formation of the enemy army, and then reformulated the attack plan.

"This raid was divided into two batches, the first group used the light cavalry of the thousand cavalry battalion to harass the war elephants, and the second group used the cavalry bombardment team to use the fierce fire and thunder to frighten the group, so that they turned around and trampled on their own people."

The Thousand Cavalry Battalion lined up on the grassy slope, and after Feng Changqing's whistle blew, they rushed towards the long line of enemy troops marching by the Ganges.

This time, the reaction of the North Indian army was much sharper than the last time, and the war elephants marching in a long line quickly reversed direction, and the riders sitting in the rattan baskets tied the elephants' heads with long chisels, causing the elephants to counterattack in the direction of the Tang cavalry.

The Thousand Cavalry Battalion began to concentrate on firing arrows when they were more than 70 paces away from the enemy war elephants, but the elephants were indeed thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and the arrows hanging on the elephants only caused a bleeding effect, and several archers on the elephants' backs were shot down and planted out of the rattan baskets.

The riders pierced the elephant's head with their hammers, causing them to rush forward in pain, and the distance between the two sides gradually approached.

Bagjira heard the damn whistle sound again, and these Tang troops would never dare to fight hard, and quickly turned their horses and withdrew.

Another Tang cavalry took their place and rushed towards the elephant array, and the two sides were more than seventy paces away, and these Tang soldiers took out the black iron ball from the cowhide bag on their waists, lit the twist with a fire fold, held it in their hands and rushed forward for more than twenty steps, and at the same time waved their arms and threw the iron ball.

The unknown is always terrifying, and when the iron ball falls at the foot of the elephant array, the heads of all the generals of the North Indian Army buzz for fear that a green miasma or some poisonous snake and scorpion will come out of them.

Thunderous explosions exploded on the ground, tumbling into flames, and their heads literally buzzed. Spraying hot oil burns on the elephant's legs or body.

The elephants immediately let out a long screaming sound, and were so frightened that they turned around and rushed towards the team on their side, and the face of the god of war, Bagjira, showed a moment of horror and anger, and opened his throat and shouted: "Disperse, get out of the way!"

The North Indian soldiers ran in the direction of the Ganges in terror, followed by elephants running in terror, knocking them down and trampling on them with their big stubby feet. The fast-running soldiers stumbled into the Ganges, their bodies bobbing up and down in the undulating water, or plunging into the murky waters to drink from them.

At this time, the water of the Ganges River was still quite clean, and if you dry up three bowls, you will not be reborn as an Indian.

But the elephants also rushed into the river, and the rapid stampede of the four feet made the river seem to boil, and some of the soldiers who fell into the water happened to be trampled on, and the whole bottom of the water seemed to be stained with red ink.

Taking advantage of this chaotic moment, the Tang army's thousand-cavalry battalion approached again, this time using the horse lance team in front to disperse the small group of enemy troops gathered together, and reap the enemy's lives with horned bows and horizontal swords.

The god of war, Bajira, returned to the rescue with his Kshatriya officer corps and personal guards once again, waving all kinds of weapons in his hand and rushing towards the Tang cavalry, he brandished the sharp soft sword in his hand and wanted to cut off all the heads of these sneak attackers.

However, Feng Changqing still chose not to fight him, blew the bamboo whistle and led the cavalry to retreat again.

A flying cavalry captain attempted to attack Bagjira before retreating, in order to gain the first prize, he fired a chimeling arrow at him with a horned bow, and more than a hundred cavalry followed and fired arrows.

Bagjira wielded her soft sword to break the flying arrows, and even if an arrow stabbed it, it would not do any damage.

Feng Changqing turned around and reprimanded loudly: "What kind of arrows are you shooting!" Don't waste arrows on that Golden King's Eight Shells! You can't break his armor! ”

Furious at the loss, Bagjira swung his whip and went in pursuit, but his heavy armor hampered his speed, and to make matters worse, he took the lead. He knew that his life was in danger to the thousands of cavalrymen alone, so he had to retreat.

Feng Changqing looked at the retreating pursuer Bagjira behind him, and said to the people around him with a smile: "See, strategy is always more useful than bravery." ”
