Chapter 1315: The Arab Empire
In fact, since they came out, the people of the Arab Empire have been eyeing them, yesterday's defeat was unexpected, and today Kebdullah gathered all the surrounding troops, thinking of giving the Tang army a little strength.
Kebdullah is also a member of the Governor's Palace of Anton in the Arab Empire, and the tiger general does not know how many enemies he has defeated along the way, yesterday can be said to be the first defeat, of course, he does not think that this is his own failure, he thinks that this is a sneak attack on him by the Tang army, and he also uses weapons that they do not have.
Now he is ready to let the Tang army taste his strength, the five thousand cavalry under his command have been gathered, and he also knows what their advantage is, that is, they come and go without a trace, although the Tang army is relatively well-armed, but their speed is not good, and when it comes to close combat, our people are agile and will be able to achieve victory.
As for the power of the Tang Dynasty that the countries of the Western Regions said, he didn't take it to heart at all, in his opinion, this is the reason why the countries of the Western Regions are too weak, but as long as you can be stronger, you will not praise the Tang army to the sky.
It's a pity that it's been two days, the Tang army has advanced and retreated, and they can't find a chance at all, the primary target of their attack is those who don't have war horses, followed by those heavy cavalry, as for the light cavalry, try not to provoke them, that is at the end.
Kebdullah and his men leaned against the back of a sand and gravel, and his men kept an eye on the Tang army at all times, but they had to be careful, otherwise they might be discovered by the Tang army, he had already asked his men to change their black robes, in a place like the desert wasteland, wearing black robes was too conspicuous.
When he heard that Ma was promoted, he knew that his men must have gained something, and it was really in vain that we had been staring at it for days.
Of course, he also comforted himself in his heart, after all, this is a powerful empire in the world, unlike the enemies they have seen before, those people are not qualified to be called enemies of the Arab Empire, only the Tang army can have this qualification.
"The great generals separated their front and rear teams, and most of the rear teams were infantry, although there were also some cavalry guards, but they were pitifully few."
When his subordinates said this, a hideous smile appeared on this guy's face, he knew that the opportunity had finally come, as long as you gave us a chance, then it would represent the beginning of your demise, from the Arabian Peninsula to here, they have never missed any opportunity.
"Get on the horse."
This guy said very excitedly, and these people around him also got on their horses with a roar, and then galloped away in the direction of the Tang army.
On a relatively high sand dune, I finally saw the Tang army in the distance, because it had been marching for nearly five days, plus some valuables in the cities along the way, the march speed of the Tang army had slowed down a lot.
The cavalry had already all gathered in front, and behind them were some carriages and the like, and the cavalry escorted by no means more than five hundred people.
"Remember to me, no one can move the things on the carriage, and if anyone dares to disobey the order, even if you come back alive, I will give your life to Zhe
Lord Allah ......"
This guy knows that this battle is different from the previous time, if it is according to the previous way of fighting, I am afraid that these people will not have a good result, so he must let his subordinates understand that when doing this, they must be willing to give and take.
"Yes."
His men are still very elite, although they covet the good things on the carriage, but these people can also distinguish clearly, if you want something, then maybe this life will not be saved.
The people in front of them are not ordinary enemies, they are the army of the Tang Dynasty, this army also has a very strong quality, they still remember the events of that day, if you don't want to die, then you can give birth to greed, but don't be afraid of your head falling off when the time comes.
"There are so many strange things in Datang, it seems that there is a person tied to it."
The soldiers in the team had already seen the sounding balloon in the distance, which could put people into the air for tens of meters or even hundreds of meters, and they really couldn't imagine that although the people above were blown around, they could see the surrounding situation, fortunately they changed the black robes, otherwise they would have been discovered.
In fact, they have been discovered a long time ago, but the Datang army has always acted as if they didn't see it, if they are prepared, how can they attract you people to take the bait?
The sounding balloon is several ropes on it, through the shaking of the rope, the people below can receive some scattered messages, of course, there will be a lot of messages received wrong, after all, when the wind is strong, you can't control the shaking of the rope at all.
So in addition to shaking the rope, you also have to rely on the flag to transmit the message, and there are several soldiers on the ground staring at it.
"They're coming soon, they're close to us, all the guys are ready for battle, and when they're coming, all of them have to keep their composure."
Li Chengyi gave an order to his subordinates, on the carriage next to him, except for the chain crossbow and musket, it has long been prepared for you, as long as you dare to sneak attack our convoy, then let you have no return, only dozens of corpses were left that day, and I don't know how many there are today.
In addition to killing a group of them, General Mo Lun also wants to verify whether we can hold our convoy with such a method, if there is no convoy and only rely on cavalry, it will be very difficult to live in this place in the Western Regions, Gaochang soldiers and Tang soldiers are basically the same, if they are allowed to suffer now, I am afraid that more than half of the people will not be able to endure this hardship.
"They're starting to ventilate, everybody is ready."
After receiving the news from the sounding balloon, Li Chengyi was not nervous, he just tightened his chain crossbow.
There were more than 3,000 people around the carriage, and these people had more than 2,500 chain crossbows, and 500 muskets to entertain you.
As for the cavalry led by General Morun in front, their task is not to return to help, but after these Arab cavalry kill, they will immediately turn a large circle and surround them, our speed of action is not as fast as yours, but if our stupid birds fly first, you will not be able to escape from our encirclement.
