    In the first round of confrontation, they were evenly matched, and no one could do anything against the other.  Both sides showed extraordinary military prowess and even ordered a retreat at the same time.  After the order was passed, the two infantry fighting under the city exited the battlefield in an orderly manner without any chaos, showing good military discipline.  "Dashi's order is very strict, which is great." Zhang said he saw it and admired it greatly.  "That's true." Yang Sixu and the others also agreed with this.  "The cannibals believe in Allah. They consider themselves servants of Allah and can die for Allah. They must advance bravely in the battle, and retreat must be ordered strictly and orderly. This is not surprising." Li Longji has another opinion.  This statement is very reasonable. Most of the Arab imperial troops are religious fanatics. They can die for the non-existent Allah, even if they abandon their wives and children.  They are not afraid of death, so it makes sense for them to retreat in an orderly manner.  "Yang Sixu, you will fight in this second formation. Well, leading three thousand cavalry is enough." Li Longji said to Yang Sixu.  "Yes." Yang Sixu was greatly excited.  The top spot was taken away by Chen Xuanli. It was a good thing for him to play in the second round, so he couldn't help but be excited.  "Hey." The generals looked at Yang Sixu with admiration and sighed softly.  " Such a tense and exciting tough battle can only be watched but not fought. Who can not be anxious?  "The Tang army retreated in an orderly manner, without chaos, and the orders were extremely strict. It is fortunate that the Chinese have been able to dominate the world for more than a thousand years." Gu Taibai greatly admired the Tang army's retreat from the battlefield in an orderly manner.  His eyes can naturally see how rare it is for the Tang army to maintain such order.  The real elite.  Not just winning battles.  Also able to maintain order after defeat.  This is the real elite.  "In the second round, we will send three thousand cavalry to fight." Gu Taibai made the same decision as Li Longji, and also sent three thousand cavalry.  After receiving the order, the cavalry of the Arab Empire marched out one team after another and formed an array on the battlefield.  The cavalry of the Arabian Empire was well-trained, moved quickly and neatly, formed very quickly, and quickly formed a formation.  One group was in purge, and a murderous aura shot through the sky.  "Good! Dashi's cavalry is amazing!" Li Longji and the others looked at the cavalry formation of the Arab Empire on the top of the city and were greatly impressed.  "What a good horse! Their horses are so good!" The generals looked at the fine Arabian war horses, their eyes shining with admiration.  The Arabian horse is one of the finest horse breeds in the world and is famous for its long endurance.  The horses ridden by these Arabian Empire cavalry are all good horses, and the generals of the Tang army are not good at all.  "It's easy. We defeat the Big Food Dog. Just grab their war horses." "That's right, that's right. It's not for anything else. Just for this horse, we have to defeat the Big Food Dog." The generals are gearing up.  , I can't wait to have a war with the Arab Empire immediately.  The temptation of war horses is so great!  At the same time as the cavalry of the Arab Empire formed a formation, the cavalry of the Tang Army, led by Yang Sixu, drove out of Kabul and came to the city to form a formation.  The Tang Army's cavalry moved neatly and neatly, and it didn't take long for them to form a formation. A murderous aura rushed straight into the sky. At a glance, it was clear that this was an iron-blooded army, an elite that had been baptized on the battlefield.  "Good! The Chinese cavalry has been in battle for a long time and is full of murderous spirit. They are elite." Gu Taibai's eyes lit up and he was greatly appreciated.  "It's a pity that he met us, the loyal servants of Allah." Immediately afterwards, Gu Taibai was disdainful and sneered: "The Chinese cavalry is destined to be unhappy." At this moment, the Arab cavalry began  Charged.  "Ready, charge!" Following the order, the Arab Empire cavalry held their spears and lined up in a neat battle formation, charging towards the Tang Army cavalry.  The Arab Empire is worthy of being an empire that has been coveting the Middle East for hundreds of years. The cavalry is well-trained and charges with overwhelming power. The sound of hooves is like thunder, making the ground tremble.  "Rumble!" The place where the horse's hooves stepped was filled with smoke and dust, which was extremely shocking.  "Full of momentum, very good." Yang Sixu saw this, nodded slightly, and then said with disdain: "I will let you know what is called a charge." "Get ready, charge!" Yang Sixu's high-pitched voice sounded.  , waved his right hand heavily.  "Rumble!" The Tang Army cavalry carried their horses and lined up in a neat battle formation, rushing towards the Arabian Empire cavalry like a sea tide.  If you look at it from the air, you will find that the two armies collided like two huge mountains, with blood spraying out and many corpses falling.  Both cavalry were equipped with longWeapons, the Arabian Empire cavalry were equipped with spears, and they galloped like a forest of spears, which looked very scary.  The Tang army was equipped with horse-steeds. Holding them in their hands looked like a forest of horse-steeds, with extraordinary power.  When the two armies met, the long weapons in their hands stabbed their opponents hard, causing many casualties and screams.  Then, as if they had a tacit understanding, the two armies decisively threw away the long weapons in their hands. The Arabian Empire cavalry pulled out their scimitars and greeted the Tang Army cavalry fiercely.  Tang Jun pulled out his horizontal sword and slashed hard, fiercely and fiercely.  For a while, you came and I went back and forth, and the two cavalry were fighting inextricably.  The riding skills of the two cavalry are very exquisite, and it is difficult to distinguish them.  As for slashing and killing, their sword skills are equally good, and no one can have the upper hand.  "What a rare thing! The cannibal's cavalry is not weaker than us." The general of the Tang army watched the two cavalry fighting, his eyes lit up, he was very surprised, but also happy. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even the Turks, who are famous for their mounted archery, do not have such elite cavalry.  Although the Turks are a nomadic people who started out as horsemen and archers, their equipment is not as good as the Tang army, their tactics are not as advanced as the Tang army, and their orders are not as strict as the Tang army.  When encountering the Tang army, the Turks would naturally suffer.  The Arabian Empire¡¯s cavalry was no worse than the Tang army in terms of training, orders, and tactics.  There are really too few opponents like this. It is possible to meet such an opponent and have a great battle.  It must be very enjoyable.  This is why the generals are so happy.  "I didn't expect it. The Chinese cavalry was also so good. They were no worse than us." In essence, the Arab Empire was still a nomadic people during this period, and riding and shooting was their specialty. The Tang Army's cavalry was no worse than them. It's really true.  It surprised them for a while.  "This is not surprising." Gu Taibai, who has studied China very well and is familiar with Chinese history, commented: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China has faced a huge threat from the nomads in the north. First there were the Xiongnu, then the Xianbei, and now  The Turks, these nomadic peoples who were good at riding and shooting, were successively destroyed by the Chinese. One of the important reasons why the Chinese were able to destroy these nomads was that the Chinese cavalry were very good at riding and shooting." Gu Taibai commented.  Very precise.  Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, northern China has faced the threat of nomads.  First there were the Xiongnu and then the Xianbei.  In the Tang Dynasty, there were Turks, three powerful nomadic peoples known for their riding and shooting.  They were all wiped out by our ancestors.  One of the important reasons why our ancestors were able to do this is that our ancestors formed a large number of cavalry, and the cavalry's riding and shooting was no worse than that of the nomads.  In the early days of the Han Dynasty, the number of cavalry in the Han Dynasty was pitiful. Because there were too few horses, senior officials had to ride in ox carts.  By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, due to the success of "horse politics", the Han Dynasty had mastered a large number of war horses. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the military strategy of the Han Dynasty, from strategic defense to strategic offense, and formed a large number of cavalry. Under the guidance of talented generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing,  Under the leadership of the Han family, the sons of the Han family roamed across the desert and finally defeated the Xiongnu.  This incident illustrates well that cavalry and archery can be trained. As long as they are trained properly, our cavalry is not inferior to the nomads.  By the time of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had even forgotten such glorious historical experience, and actually came up with a bloody strategy of "controlling cavalry with foot". In the end, the cavalry of nomadic tribes such as the Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolia galloped around and defeated the Song Dynasty.  destroyed.  "Although the Chinese cavalry are good at riding and archery, it is a pity that they met us, the loyal servants of God. We teach the Chinese how to ride horses and archery." Immediately afterwards, Gu Taibai was disdainful again.  During this period, the Arab Empire was still a nomadic people, proficient in riding and shooting. This was their special skill. Gu Taibai certainly had confidence.  However, the subsequent progress of the war made Gu Taibai lose his eyes.  The cavalry of the Tang Army fought vigorously, but the cavalry of the Arabian Empire had no choice but to defeat the cavalry of the Tang Army. They paid a heavy price, but they were still evenly matched.  "This" The cavalry was one of the trump cards of the Arab Empire. It was so amazing that the cavalry could do nothing to defeat the Tang Army. The generals of the Arab Empire saw this and were shocked.  Later, the Arab Empire began to change its tactics and still adopted the "three-person team" tactic. Every three people formed a tactical team, with one person attacking, one defending, and one supporting.  "At the same time that the Arabian Empire's cavalry changed their tactics, the Tang Army's cavalry also used the same tactics. The result was still a back and forth, evenly matched, and no one could do anything about the other.  "What do you think of the Great Food Cavalry?" Li Longji asked.  "Awesome! Very impressive!" All the generals said in unison.  "The Great Food Cavalry is really great, it's the Great Food Cavalry"?The strongest enemy we have encountered in so many years.  Zhang Shuo made a comment and said: "However, if we dispatch our elite troops, we will definitely be able to defeat them."  One is because their armor is not as good as ours. Our elite cavalry are all equipped with Mingguang armor, so it is difficult for the cavalry to break through the defense.  Second, our hand crossbows have not been used yet.  If they were shot with a crossbow on the way to charge, they would definitely cause a lot of casualties to the Dashi Cavalry, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent battle.  Zhang said that this comment was very reasonable. In order to find out the details of the Arab Empire, the Tang Army did not use hand crossbows. The Tang Army cavalry had one hand crossbow. If they shot and killed them on the way to charge, with the poor defensive power of the Arab Empire cavalry,  It is difficult to block the hand crossbow, and there will be many casualties. ¡°If we encounter the Chinese cavalry again, we will definitely win.  "The generals of the Arab Empire are confident. "No!  Gu Taibai was very sober and said: "They did not use hand crossbows and did not dispatch elite cavalry equipped with Mingguang armor. If such a head-to-head battle happens again, we will not win."  " "Withdraw."  "The purpose of getting to know each other's details has been achieved, and both sides unanimously issued the order to retreat.
