Chapter 1366: Arab Defeat

According to Prince Salaman's idea, it is possible that the war will last at least a few hours, or even more than half a day.

But he was taken aback by the sight of a large number of Arab cavalrymen falling from their horses, all because of the damn chain of crossbow arrows.

Although in terms of horse ability, the Tang cavalry is not bad, but compared with the Arab cavalry, it is still slightly inferior, but people have such a chain of crossbow arrows, which is not something we can solve.

Some Datang soldiers were extremely panicked, and they shot out all ten crossbow arrows in an instant, and several people fell directly in front, and under such a fast ventilation environment, some people in the rear were pulled down, which was really unexpected.

In just half an hour, the casualties of the Arab cavalry had reached a third, and the will to fight began to crumble among many people, who did not dare to continue to charge, and turned their horses around and thought of running back.

When they exposed their backs, this was what the Tang cavalry was most happy about, either run two steps quickly and kill you with the knife in their hands, or go directly with a crossbow arrow, even if you can run, the wounds on your body will kill you within two days, which is all poisoned.

Just when the two armies were in a stalemate, Gaochang also rushed over, and their joining was the last straw that overwhelmed the Arab cavalry.

Under this scattered support, on the contrary, it was because of the inability to coordinate between their various troops, which caused all kinds of trouble to themselves, Qu Tushou saw very clearly, more than 30 Arab cavalry were actually rushing together with their own support team, although the two sides have tried their best to avoid it, but there are still a few people who fell off their horses in the conflict, I really don't know if this is your gift package.

Bang bang......

Gunshots came from the east, and the musket team of the Tang army also appeared, when they used to shoot, they shot a step back to stop the enemy's attack, but now they fired a shot and took a step forward, their purpose was to harvest the lives of the Arab army from the east.

Prince Salamatan finally collapsed, and the more than 10,000 people under his command were the elites he had saved for several years and drawn from various troops, but at this moment these elites did not turn the tide of the war, but lost everything.

Qu Tushou passed with his cavalry, they directly entered the camp of the Arab Empire, which was already in chaos, and all the troops could not organize effective resistance, so when Qu Tushou rushed over with people, many people scattered and fled, and the Tang cavalry was not polite, and quickly rushed forward to score, and then carried their own battles, and the knife was a knife, I don't know how many people lost their lives at this time.

In addition to the first echelon of the charge, the soldiers behind each had a porcelain bottle in their hands, which was all filled with lamp oil, and when they saw a tent around, they threw it directly and let it burn, and some people hid in the tent, hoping to avoid the fight, but they were burned alive.

There are also people who have explosives in the porcelain bottles, as long as they are thrown to both sides at the moment, it is impossible to blow up our own people anyway, as for what your people will die like, then it is not for us to consider.

This charging team rushed from the south to the north, divided the Arab battalion into two according to the established plan, and then they charged again in turn, and they must not let the enemies on both sides connect and do this back and forth a few times, which can not only reduce the vocal combat power of the Arab army, but also make them ignore each other, which can be regarded as achieving our set strategic goal.

Then the war entered the second stage, and the army in the eastern region was handed over to Feng Chucai's men, in addition to the musket team, his archers also rushed up, they shot these people of the Arab Empire from a long distance, and then slowly advanced forward.

The western area was handed over to Qu Tushou, and after two back and forth between his men, there was not much organized resistance in the army, except for some individual resistance, and some people had even thrown away their weapons and were ready to surrender.

Of course, this is also a very normal thing, everyone knows in their hearts that we will not be able to win, if we continue like this, it will not do us any good, we should find a way to live now, and surrender is the only way to live.

This went even better than had been predicted, and the Arab armies, which had only been thinking of eating one part, could now even eat both parts if they were used properly.

This is not those miscellaneous armies in Central Asia, all of them are the elite of the Arab Empire, and when they are lost here, all the land under the Governor's Mansion of Anton will be ours, and the most important thing is that the Arab Empire will not be able to attack us in the short term.

This defeat not only defended the security of the western territory of the Tang Dynasty, but also greatly reduced the comprehensive national strength of the Arab Empire, which is all on the surface, and as for the secret gains, I am afraid that there will be more.

Prince Salamatan was wounded at this moment, and a chain of crossbow arrows struck him in the left shoulder, and his men placed him in the carriage, and fled in a north-west direction, and he had in his hands three thousand mortal guards, who were considered loyal, and did not abandon him in this case.

Qu Tushou has also been looking for this prince, if he is captured, then this time it will be perfect, but unfortunately the surrounding battlefield is too chaotic, although his goal is very clear, but still did not find Prince Salaman.

The war lasted until midnight, when there was no shouting for killing, and Qu Tushou immediately ordered the entire battlefield to search for Prince Salaman, but unfortunately at dawn the generals from all over his command sent news, all kinds of signs that the Prince Salman had left the battlefield under the protection of his subordinates.

Of course, their results were also extremely brilliant, killing nearly 20,000 Arab soldiers in total, more than 60,000 prisoners, more than 10,000 seriously wounded, and the rest fled to the desert.

In such an environment of leaky air, it is really not easy to capture so many people.

After the victory here, Qu Tushou was not idle, and immediately organized soldiers to march to the east......
