517 suffered heavy casualties
Tang Ping's practice of taking away the handsome banner was something Fakhr al-Din did not expect, and he also knew what kind of blow it would have to morale if the army saw that the handsome flag was gone, so he hurriedly asked someone to take the spare one and hang it up.
As a result, as soon as the flag-bearer walked under the flagpole, he was bleeding from his chest and fell to the ground.
This was naturally done by Xue Rengui.
Then Fakhr al-Din's own soldiers rushed forward, and they were about to hang the handsome flag again, and after being sniped by Xue Rengui several times, they actually surrounded the human wall again, and firmly surrounded the person who hung the flag in the middle.
Just when the handsome flag was pulled up a few meters high, Xue Rengui broke the rope that pulled the flag with a single shot.
Now the soldiers who hung the flag below were dumbfounded, and if they wanted to hang it again, they had to climb up along the flagpole.
But he who climbs up to it has no wall to shield him, and even if he has a shield, he will not use it.
How can this 7.62 mm caliber sniper rifle be blocked by the shield of this era?
Climb one and die another, but there is no way to rehang the handsome flag, and at this time, Lao Du used his spear to snatch Lao Cui back and tie up the handsome flag, waving it outside the hot air balloon.
Tang Ping shouted in Arabic with a loudspeaker: "Run, the boss was killed by a monster flying in the sky, and the handsome flags have been snatched away!" The Datang reinforcements are coming, run! ”
The Arab soldiers just below the hot air balloon could still tell that it was Tang Ping shouting.
But a little farther away, you can only hear the shouts coming from Tang Ping.
When you look up, you can see that there is indeed a monster-like thing in the sky, and what is it that is waving the flag of their Arab army next to it?
Now the mentality of fighting the Arab army has long changed, although they have not fought head-on with the Tang Dynasty, it is an indisputable fact that Duan Zhixuan's army of more than 20,000 people wiped out more than 100,000 of them.
Therefore, the Arab army, which had never suffered defeat in the past and felt that it was invincible in the world, planted a seed in his heart, that is, Datang was at least an enemy of the same level as them.
At this time, I heard that the boss was dead, the handsome flag was taken away, and the reinforcements from Datang were coming, and many people began to waver.
For the encircled Tang Army, the offensive was also slowed down.
And Tang Ping was still shouting in the sky: "Everyone run, the Tang Army is going to set fire!" ”
"Oops, the Tang Army is coming to flood again!"
During the battle, these soldiers could only see a radius of three or five meters, and they were surrounded by people, who knew if what Tang Ping said was true or false?
But the fire of the Tang Dynasty in the city of Wu Jayana and the water of the river drawn in the city of Morava have long been spread by the survivors.
Hearing Tang Ping shouting like this, some people's feet became weak and they were going to slip away.
The encircled Tang Army also discovered this and began to use its last strength to launch a breakthrough charge.
Another hot air balloon lowered its height a bit, and after picking up more than a dozen people to go up, it rushed to the front while descending.
By the time it was time for the breakout force to reach the front, it was almost half a meter above the ground.
The propellers driven by the largest steam engine gave the balloon tremendous power and rushed towards the besieging Arab army.
More than a dozen cavalrymen above stabbed forward and left and right with spears in their hands.
Seeing this, Tang Ping didn't care about the threat, and did the same with more than a dozen people beside him.
The cavalry on the periphery also took the opportunity to charge.
The Arab encirclement was finally opened by two hot air balloons flying close to the ground.
The Tang Army behind rushed out desperately.
"What about Fan Guogong? Did you see Fan Guogong? ”
"Have you seen Fan Guogong?"
Tang Ping asked eagerly, and finally a familiar figure leaned over.
Duan Zan pointed to the person on his back a little anxiously and said, "Ping Guogong, my father was injured in order to save me, save him!" ”
In the army, Duan Zhixuan has always asked Duan Zan not to call him Daddy, but now he is really anxious.
"Send people up, let's go find Li Shan and them!"
Tang Ping asked Lao Du to stop the hot air balloon, and the cavalry who came up just now jumped down and carried Duan Zhixuan onto the cabin.
Then Tang Ping and the others began to take off, intending to find Li Shan.
But although they ran out, the Arab army behind them did not intend to let them go.
Even if the speed of the Arab heavy cavalry was not as fast as theirs, at this time, the Tang cavalry had been fighting for a long time, and they were tired of horses and horses, and they were stuck by the Arab cavalry that followed.
The Tang cavalry could only fight and retreat.
Tang Ping looked at it from the sky and felt that this was not a solution, so he controlled the drone to come behind the pursuers and played his voice loudly:
"The commander has an order, the Tang people are too cunning, stop the pursuit!"
The key is that his black technology simultaneous interpretation can also add different accents, which will use the sound of the drone to emit it, as if there are several voices shouting that are not used.
It was already dark, and the cavalry chasing in front couldn't see the situation behind, and heard the voice from behind that the commander ordered not to pursue, thinking about these Tang people are indeed cunning, although they are unwilling, but the military order can only be stopped.
Although the cavalry behind knew that something was wrong, the voice they shouted was not as loud as Tang Ping's voice played by the drone.
They had the intention to continue the pursuit, but the cavalry in front of them had stopped, and they naturally had no choice but to stop their horses.
By the time this heavy cavalry knew that the commander had not given such an order, it had already opened a long distance from the Tang cavalry.
This dark night can no longer catch up, so I can only give up.
Tang Ping took Duan Zhixuan to find Gou Shaoqun and Li Shan in the mountain pass.
Seeing Tang Ping's safe return, the two were also relieved.
Hearing Tang Ping say that Duan Zhixuan was seriously injured, Li Shan put on gloves and began to check Duan Zhixuan's injuries.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ping asked with some concern.
Li Shan glanced at Tang Ping, then at Duan Zan and said, "I'll do my best!" ”
Tang Ping's heart was shocked, Li Shan didn't say whether he was sure or not, he just said that he tried his best, so it means that Duan Zhixuan's injury is already very serious.
It's all because the road was smooth, Tang Ping and Duan Zhixuan didn't expect that the Arab commander Fakhr al-Din would use this trick.
When he sent out 40,000 light horsemen, he had the intention of using them as bait.
Those light cavalry can entangle the Tang Army is the best, if they are accidentally eliminated, he guesses that the Tang Army is likely to take advantage of this trick to repeat the trick, so he set up such a situation.
Tang Ping couldn't help much, so he stepped aside and asked some of the generals who led the troops to break through.
In this battle, with the 5,000 people who went to respond, less than 10,000 escaped in the end.
And almost all of the 10,000 people were injured.
There are almost 10,000 Tang soldiers who have been lost here.
