Chapter 517: In this battle, Datang wins!
After the Battle of Talas in history, the Tang Dynasty gradually declined due to the Anshi Rebellion.
However, the black-clothed food is becoming stronger and stronger, and gradually expanding its power.
The fate of the two huge empires is so different, which really makes Li Yunze very unhappy.
Why is it that I am not doing well, but you can live better?
Just because you know how to buy traitors with a lot of money?
Li Yunze didn't bother to spend money to buy them, so he very simply went straight to destroy the traitors.
As for the main food, then defeat them on the frontal battlefield with dignity!
Hearing the rumbling drums, the Tang Army, which was inferior in numbers on the battlefield, burst out with a strong momentum, and under the command of the generals and captains at all levels, they continued to advance against the opponent.
The strong combat effectiveness of the Tang Army deeply shocked the great cannibals.
They are also veterans of many years of war, having fought countless wars, and even just brought down the Umayyad dynasty.
But he has never met such a terrible opponent.
They have seen a lot of warriors who are not afraid of death, but almost the entire army is not afraid of death, and this is the first time they have seen it.
As soon as Governor Abu came up, he smashed the strongest cavalry regiment in his hand and tried to settle the battle in one battle.
But when the cavalry charge failed to break the Tang army, but after they retreated, it was the superior Dashi army that fell into the battlefield disadvantage.
It is impossible to retreat, and behind him is the Talas River, although the river is not very wide, but once the troops retreat, the hundreds of thousands of people who crossed the river will wait to fill the river.
Seeing that the Tang army was approaching step by step, Governor Abu hurriedly ordered the fleeing cavalry to regroup and rest on both flanks, and then the archers and foot soldiers stepped forward to block the Tang army.
He didn't believe his army of hundreds of thousands would lose.
The archers of the Great Cannibal stepped forward first, lined up in a very dense formation.
First the upward shot, then the projectile, and finally the lift.
When shooting from the back, there is an arrow for more than ten breaths, and when it is thrown, it turns to rapid fire when it is raised, and it shoots more than ten arrows in a row until the arm is sore.
There were many archers of the Great Cannibals, and the rain of arrows they shot was really overwhelming, like a dark cloud.
Dense arrows rained down and smashed on the armor of the Tang army.
The Tang Army is not a Spartan who only wears pants!
The national strength and scientific and technological level of the Tang Dynasty are the top of this era, and under Li Yunze's attention, the armor rate of the Tang army on the battlefield at this time has almost increased to more than ninety percent, and most of them are iron armor of excellent quality.
The Tang soldiers who were moving forward, with shields, naturally put up shields on top of their heads.
If not, then simply bow your head and resist with the armor on your body.
The arrow landed on the armor of the Tang army, and it was bounced off directly after the clanging sound, and not even a white spot could be left.
The rain of arrows from the Great Cannibal is spectacular in scale and speed, but it can't be broken.
The rain of arrows that can't be broken is useless.
This also means that at least tens of thousands of archers have become ornaments in this war.
Because most of the big food archers are cloth armor, and a few wear chain mail or something. In addition to bows and arrows, there are only some short swords and even daggers or something.
In front of the Tang army's armor soldiers, these tens of thousands of archers are no different from lambs to be slaughtered.
By the way, the real Sparta is not the one in film and television dramas, except for the shield in his hand and the Corinthian helmet on his head, he relies on the pectoralis major muscle to carry the damage.
In film and television dramas, it is for masculinity and visual effects.
You must know the real Sparta in history, which was a famous heavy armor!
Do you understand what heavy armor is? It wasn't for the pants and the pectoralis muscles, but in that case, their enemies would be able to shoot all Spartans into hedgehogs, even if they were blind with bows and arrows.
The real Sparta, from the Corinthian helmet to the cuirass, to the skirt, to the shin, and carried a huge bronze shield in his hand.
Therefore, armor is a real strategic weapon in the era of cold weapons.
In all dynasties, swords, guns, bows and arrows were forbidden (not counting the era of tribal invasions) but secretly hiding armor to plot rebellion.
The armor defense of the Tang army here is at least two levels higher than that of Sparta.
It's not just the full protection of the heavy armor, it's also better in quality.
Seeing the Tang army gradually approaching amid the sound of drums resounding through the four fields, Governor Abu was really panicked.
With such a large legion, is it going to be defeated?
The archers, who shot an average of thirty arrows each, quickly retreated to rest and recuperate their sore arms.
And the real main force of the Great Cannibals, the super large foot soldiers, finally began to march in formation, ready to collide with the Tang Army.
The Big Food Legion in film and television dramas is like countless cavalry, and everywhere it goes, cavalry fights the main force.
This is definitely not the case.
It is impossible for any normal empire to be all cavalry. Because the cost is so great that it is impossible to provide for it. Unless you follow the example of a nomadic tribe, they are constantly plundering.
The larger the empire, the more stable the footmen's position as the main force.
The battle between the foot soldiers was even more severe, because the two sides had to face each other to chop each other.
The Tang Army's side is still at the forefront, and it is still a rock-like Mo sword soldier.
Even if they suffered great losses under the impact of the cavalry group, the surviving Mo sword soldiers still followed Li Siye's footsteps firmly and collided with the big cannibal foot soldiers.
The foot soldiers of the great cannibals are mainly shields, long hair, swords, and scimitars.
These weapons are no problem dealing with the pectoralis major muscle, but against the ironclad monster in front of you, it can only be tickling and listening.
And the Mo knife in the hands of the Mo sword soldiers slashed over, and the big food foot soldier who only had chain armor on his body could only rely on the shield.
However, in front of the sharp and unparalleled Mo Dao, any kind of shield and chain mail are useless.
On the front of the Mo Sword Soldiers, they kept advancing and advancing, and under their feet, they were covered with stumps and broken arms, and even densed to the point that there was nowhere to put their feet.
The nearby Don troops were not idle, they were also well-equipped and determined.
All kinds of long soldiers and horizontal knives in his hands can also break through the defense.
And the big cannibal weapon is mainly harmful to listen to the sound.
What is called the suppression of technology and strength, this is it.
Governor Abu, who had thought he would be able to win the victory with numerical superiority, looked at the battlefield in front of him and fell into despair.
Why?
It's obvious that there are more people by yourself, but why can't you beat them?
In addition to the cavalry charge at the beginning, which caused a lot of casualties to the Tang army. The remaining archers and foot soldiers, in front of the Tang Army's ironclad array, were almost decorations.
Waiting to be cut down by the Tang Army.
"It can't be."
Governor Abu ruffled his hair vigorously, his eyes full of disbelief, "Why do they have so much sturdy iron armor?" Why are there so many! ”
It was normal for him not to understand, because the technology and productivity of Middle-earth had been the pinnacle of the world for thousands of years.
The black-clothed food felt that his national productivity, productivity and scientific and technological level were already very high, and there was no problem with hanging around.
But in fact, when compared to Middle-earth, the difference is more than two levels.
This difference is likely to be that India wants to compare technology and productivity with China in the future.
The Tang army slashed one by one, regardless of whether the shield was raised or not.
On his side, no matter how he cuts, he can only hear a sound, unless he smashes it with a heavy weapon, or if he is lucky to hit the eye socket and other positions, or if he has a great cleverness to squat on the ground and hit his ankle or something, he can't break the defense at all.
In this case, the big eater pawn, who was suffering terrible casualties, finally couldn't bear the pressure and began to turn around and run away.
They don't care if there is a river behind them, they are their own governors.
They just want to stay as far away as possible from these killing gods in front of them, and run as far as possible.
What does it mean to be defeated? That's all there is to it.
When hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers began to fall into a state of collapse, the decisive battle that broke out in Talas could basically be drawn.
Li Yunze finally stood up from the maza.
Looking at the fierce battlefield in the distance, Li Yunze took a deep breath, "Let you cross the river, do you still want to go back?" Let's all stay! ”
At this time, the Tang Army, which was constantly advancing, had already advanced the battle line to a position only about ten miles away from the river.
It seems to be a lot of distance, but here it is crowded with hundreds of thousands of Great Eclipse and the soldiers and horses of its vassal countries.
On top of that, these soldiers and horses were already in chaos and turmoil at this time.
Governor Abu, who was completely desperate, immediately turned around and rushed onto a pontoon bridge under the escort of his own cavalry, and rushed off the bridge with all the sergeants who were still crossing the river to reinforce him.
The commander-in-chief's escape dealt the heaviest blow to the Great Eaters.
With the flight of Governor Abu, the Eaters went into a frenzy, rushing onto the pontoon bridge and running towards the other side of the river.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses wanted to escape to the other side through several pontoon bridges, which was not easy to say.
You know, when they came, it took almost two days.
In the midst of all the chaos, there are also smart people.
For example, most of the retreating cavalry chose to escape from both flanks along the river on horseback before the Tang army reached the encirclement.
Their actions also led many people to flee from both wings.
But with the approach of the Tang army's large array, the two wings were gradually blocked by the Tang army, and there was no way to escape.
The pontoon bridge has become a purgatory on earth, and countless people are crowded on it desperately pushing the people in front of them, trying to get to the other side faster.
As a result, the people on the bridge fell into the river like dumplings.
The man in armor fell into the water, and after a few struggles, he would gurgle and sink.
Others couldn't wait to jump directly into the river and try to cross the river by swimming.
But there are too many people and too crowded, and there are not many people who can swim past in a panic.
In fact, if there were no pontoon bridges, it would be impossible to make the big cannibals in a desperate situation fight to the death.
But with the passage to survive, they just went to the courage to fight hard.
With the continuous oppression of the Tang army, more and more people fell into the river, and the number was even covered with the river.
At this critical time, the upper reaches of the other side of the river appeared like dark clouds of Tang cavalry.
The Tang army, which had gone to pursue the Turgish, Hui and Lulu tribes, crossed the river from the shallow water crossing upstream, and rushed to the opposite bank at this critical moment.
Next, all that's left is defeat!
Seeing that the cavalry group had arrived at the battlefield at the appointed time, Li Yunze looked up at the blue sky and roared angrily.
"In this battle, Datang won all !!"
