410 Battle of Talas 2

……

"Roar~~"

"Kill them all!!"

"Kill all these Han dogs! Revenge for Wang Zihui! ”

When they learned that there was a Han army stationed in the city of Talas, the Great Eaters went completely crazy and shouted that they would annihilate the infidels who had defiled the Holy Land.

Under the deliberate propaganda of the Abbasids, there was widespread disgust and hostility towards the Han Dynasty in Dashi, and even children of a few years old would hold up a wooden knife and shout when playing games: "Brave Abbasid warriors, rush and rush, scare the Han people!" ”

It can be said that the Abbasids have done a good job of mobilization, and have successfully shifted domestic attention to the land of the East, successfully collecting a large amount of supplies for the jihad.

Facing the high-morale army of the Great Eclipse, Abbasid raised his arms and shouted: "My dearest family, it is time for the Han people to know that our Great Eclipse is powerful, and the Lord will bless you, rush!" ”

"Rush~~"

At the sound of an order, Sulman raised his command knife and slashed forward.

In an instant, tens of thousands of black-clad Dashi troops rushed towards the fortress where the Han army was located.

The yellow sand is rolling, the air waves are monstrous, and a big war is inevitable.

Geng Gong stood at the head of the city, watching the movement of the enemy army with a speculum glass.

After seeing the opponent attacking him, he immediately frowned: "Prepare to resist the enemy!" ”

Soon, black flint flint flint guns poked out of the broken battlements at the head of the city.

Three hundred firecrackers were already in place.

Inside the fortress, Hu Qing's baggage team had already loaded the wind cannon, and the soldiers fixed all the parts of the musket gun, and waited for the enemy to approach and return fire fiercely.

In the galloping army of the Great Eclipse, the archers, under the cover of shield soldiers, began to shoot arrows on their backs a hundred paces away from the fortress.

The projectile on the run was a no-hit, but it couldn't withstand a salvo of thousands of archers.

Their purpose was not to hit the target, but to speed up the destruction of the weathered walls.

"Hidden!"

The rain of arrows swept in, and Geng Gong immediately ordered the soldiers to duck their heads to avoid the bows and arrows.

Their armor and helmets were sufficient to deal with such a long-range attack, and it can be said that the last thing the Han army feared was the enemy's bow and arrow.

The rain fell like a god, covering the sky and the sun, and falling inside and outside the walls of Talas.

As the smoke of yellow sand rose from half of the city wall, the sound of metal clashing was heard on the soldiers, and the battle officially began.

One wave of arrows stopped, and the second wave followed, followed by the third, then the fourth......

It wasn't until five consecutive waves of arrows had passed that the vanguard of the Great Eclipse was less than twenty paces away from the city wall.

And at this moment, the sharp swan whistle in the Han army's defense line sounded at the right time.

"Put!"

Bang bang –

A burst of fire erupted from behind the bunker, and the smoke filled the air, and the red-hot projectiles whistled towards the enemy.

Before the first big food general could recover from the deafening bang, he only felt that his chest was solemnized by a heavy object, and then a strong feeling of suffocation came to his mind, and the next moment he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground on his back.

But fortunately, he was not the only one who fell, more than a dozen soldiers on his left and right sides also followed, and fell in a pool of blood in the rain of bullets, and the general of the Great Food was not alone.

However, such casualties were obviously unlikely to demoralize the Great Eclipse army, and they continued to flock to the seemingly crumbling walls of Talas.

Bang bang –

There was another rhythmic reverberation, and in an instant, dozens of big food soldiers fell to the ground.

Geng Gong had been watching the Great Food Army from behind the bunker, and couldn't help frowning.

"No, there are too many people, and if you continue like this, you will definitely be able to break through the first line of defense."

Thinking of this, Geng Gong immediately ordered: "Order!" The frequency of firearm shooting has been intensified, and the original six-line shooting has been changed to a three-line, and one round of 100 guns has to be pushed back in this group of miscellaneous guns no matter what! ”

With the adjustment of tactics, the fire at the head of the city became more dense, and the casualties of the Great Food Vanguard army also showed a visible increase to the naked eye, and finally ten paces away, the enemy army could no longer continue to move forward half a step.

Sulman, who was watching the battle from the rear, was shocked, thinking that the battle was a safe one, but the result was completely unexpected.

I saw that the Great Eclipse army seemed to be blocked by something, and it was impossible to get close to the Talas city wall, which was close at hand.

"What are they doing? We don't have time to grind around here, and I'm going to see the Great Eclipse Banner flying over Talus before it gets dark! ”

The Great Food Vanguard Army, which had been ordered, launched an offensive against the Han army garrison even harder.

However, the firearms of the Han army are too sharp, especially at such a close distance, and if you are hit, no matter how many layers of armor you are wearing, you are doomed to be disemboweled.

Bang –

"Ah~~"

With a bang, the shield in the hand of a large sword-eating shield was pierced by a high-speed rotating projectile, drilling directly into his wrist.

In an instant, a pool of blood burst out of his wrist, and it became a blur of flesh and blood.

The severe pain made him feel painful, and when he saw his crippled palm again, he immediately cried out in tears.

There was also a large food soldier, the projectile passed through the armor on his chest, and burrowed into his body, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood, and then sat down weakly, surprised to find that only the bright red blood was flowing from his lower abdomen.

"No~"

He opened his bloody mouth and let out a loud exclamation, and fear spread throughout his body, robbing him of the last trace of blood and courage.

Looking at the Great Food Army that fell like a wave of wheat, smelling the special smell of blood mixed with gunpowder smoke wafting in the air, all the Han soldiers only had a trace of "indifference" on their faces.

For the enemy, the Han army never talked about any feelings, nor did it care about military discipline.

Cruelty to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, if you don't subdue this group of backward and ignorant guys, you will only be your relatives behind you who will be in trouble in the future.

The firecrackers rang out one after another, and the corpses of the Great Eclipse army had gradually formed a hill in front of Talas, making the advance of the army behind slower than ever.

At this time, the Han soldiers at the head of the city had shot an average of more than seven times each, and by the time they were ready to take aim on the eighth time, the second wave of reserves was ready to take over the positions of their comrades.

"Dingding-ding-"

At this moment, the retreating bell rang in the Great Food Army.

The Great Food Army, which was originally attacking, immediately withdrew from the battle line in an orderly manner after hearing the bell.

The first attack of Da Shi was temporarily over, and at the cost of more than 500 casualties, he had a general understanding of the combat effectiveness of this Han army.

The casualties of more than 500 people did not inflict any morale blow on the Great Eclipse army, an army dominated by religious beliefs that could withstand far more casualties than the militia.

But the key point is that more than 400 casualties did not kill a single enemy, and the attack of tens of thousands of people was declared a failure in this way, which really shocked Sulman at the true strength of this Han army.

He immediately informed the Abbasids, who were sitting in the rear, of the news, and said that there was a magical firearm in the Han army that could breathe fire......
