    The retreat of the cavalry was as orderly as that of the infantry, showing good training and winning praise from the opponent.  "Sir, it's time for the third round of the equipment battle. It's time for our trebuchets to go into battle." A general from the Arab Empire said very excitedly: "The stones thrown by our trebuchets are very heavy and can be thrown far.  Even the city wall can't withstand it. The Tang army will definitely suffer heavy casualties when it encounters our trebuchets. "The trebuchets of the Arab Empire are the most powerful in the world, and they have a long range and the stones they throw are very heavy.  The city wall will collapse if it encounters a trebuchet.  The Arabian trebuchet manufacturing technology is famous all over the world. This is not just a boast.  The demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was closely related to the Arab trebuchets.  Lu Wenhuan guarded Xiangyang for several years and fought vigorously. The Mongols attacked many times but were crushed by him, leaving the Mongols helpless.  Although Lu Wenhuan later became a traitor, his contribution to guarding Xiangyang cannot be denied.  Kublai Khan really had no other choice, so he transferred trebuchet manufacturing personnel from the Arab region.  At that time, the Mongols had already conquered the Middle East, and it was not difficult to recruit trebuchet manufacturing personnel from here.  After these trebuchet manufacturers came to Mongolia, they created the famous "return gun", which is actually a large trebuchet.  The Mongols formed a Huihui artillery army with a large number of Huihui artillery, specifically used to deal with the cities of the Southern Song Dynasty.  Although the Song Dynasty did not achieve decent martial arts and always failed in foreign wars, it had advanced city-building technology and the cities it built were extremely strong and difficult to destroy.  If there weren't these back-and-forths.  Let the Mongols ride and shoot.  It was also a fortified city in the Southern Song Dynasty.  The first battle.  A large number of returning artillery concentrated outside Xiangyang City and launched an attack on Xiangyang City. The movement was so great that it shook the earth and destroyed the defenses that the Xiangyang defenders relied on.  Lu Wenhuan was frightened and surrendered.  As soon as Xiangyang was lost, the northern gate of the Southern Song Dynasty was opened, and the Mongolian army went straight to the south of the Yangtze River.  Finally destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty.  When it comes to trebuchets, the generals of the Arab Empire are full of confidence. They have absolute confidence that they can defeat the Tang army.  "The trebuchet is our treasure. Naturally, we have to fight, but we can't fight like this." Gu Taibai's eyes flashed, and a sneer passed from the corner of his mouth, saying: "Send the order: The entire army attacks! This time, we must defeat the Tang Army.  A surprise attack will surely defeat the Tang army." "My lord is wise," the generals praised in unison, greatly rejoicing.  "The infantry and cavalry of the Tang Army are no worse than ours. If we send out elites, we are more likely to be better than us. Unfortunately, the battlefield is not a competition between arms, but also the coordination and strategy of the arms. Li Longji, you must not have thought of it.  ." Gu Taibai said proudly.  With an order, all the Arab imperial troops were dispatched and began to form an array.  The ones at the front were the heavy cavalry.  Heavy cavalry is one of the ace arms of the Arab Empire. It is the treasure of the Arab Empire and is mainly used to charge into battle.  Heavy cavalry are men and horses, all wearing heavy armor and providing full body protection. Hundreds, thousands, and thousands of heavy cavalry charge like an overwhelming force, which is unstoppable.  It was precisely with the sharpness of the heavy cavalry that the Arab Empire was overwhelmed.  The heavily armored cavalrymen were covered with heavy armor, and the horses were covered with thick vests. They were shining brightly, giving off a cold light in the sunlight, which was frightening.  "Tang Jun, I will let you know how powerful our heavy cavalry is." Gu Taibai looked at the unusually purged heavy cavalry and felt proud.  Then the swordsmen and archers lined up in sequence.  ??Then again is the trebuchet. After being assembled, the trebuchets stand on the ground, like ancient beasts, which is very scary.  The trebuchets of the Arab Empire were not only used to siege cities, but also to fight in the field. Therefore, the Arab Empire had a lot of trebuchets. At first glance, so many trebuchets looked like a mass of darkness.  The cavalry protected the two wings.  At the same time that Gu Taibai made the decision to attack with all his troops, Li Longji also made the same decision.  "In this third formation, the whole army will attack and catch Dashi off guard." Li Longji said immediately.  "Haha!" All the generals laughed in unison. They had been looking forward to this for a long time. Who could not be happy?  Li Longji gave the order, and the Tang army drove out of the city one after another and formed an array outside the city.  The one at the front is the Mo Dao Shou. Thousands of Mo Dao Shou are holding Mo Dao in their hands, arranged in a neat formation.  The Mo Dao was bright and frightening. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Behind the Mo swordsmen come the swordsmen and archers, and then the crossbow array.  The two wings were protected by cavalry.  "Heavy cavalry." The generals of the Tang army commanded the Tang army to form formations.Looking at the Arab Empire's battle formation, I discovered the heavy cavalry. I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This is a piece of junk abandoned by the Tang Dynasty. It's ridiculous that the Great Cannibal picked it up and used it!" The heavy cavalry once made a difference in Chinese history.  , especially during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was the golden age of heavy cavalry.  At that time, once a big war broke out, it was a performance of heavy cavalry.  By the Tang Dynasty, heavy cavalry had withdrawn from the stage of history.  Why did heavy cavalry, an ancient arm that played a huge role in history, withdraw from the stage of history in the Tang Dynasty?  There are many reasons. One of the most important reasons is that the invention of the "steel filling method" caused a sharp increase in steel production in the Tang Dynasty, far exceeding that of any previous dynasty. This led to the birth of luxurious weapons such as the Mo Dao, and a large number of them.  Used in war.  The Mo Dao is very powerful, and it can not only be used for charging, but also for street fighting. It is no less powerful than the heavy cavalry, and has more uses.  This made the existence of heavy cavalry no longer necessary. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty abolished heavy cavalry.  The heavy cavalry charge is very powerful, but it is not flexible enough. This is one of its fatal flaws.  The Mo Dao is very flexible. In street fighting, the Mo Dao can be of great use, while the heavy cavalry is of little use.  When the Mo Dao battle formation became widely used, it became inevitable for the heavy cavalry to withdraw from the stage of history.  Of course, because the Mo Dao is too heavy, it consumes a lot of physical strength. It is impossible for the Mo Dao hand to hold the Mo Dao to chase and kill the enemy. This requires the assistance of light cavalry to drive the enemy away and intercept the enemy.  Therefore, the Tang Dynasty had a large number of light cavalry.  "That's Mo Dao, right?" "The Chinese are really crazy. They actually use such heavy swords. Are they made of iron? Can they fight for a long time?" "Such a heavy sword is indeed very powerful, but it cannot last long.  Not to mention chasing, it is useless. " At the same time, the generals of the Arab Empire discovered the Tang army's Mo Dao battle formation and were very disdainful.  Although they have heard about the power of Modao Battle Formation, they have never seen it with their own eyes or experienced it personally, so they don¡¯t take it to heart at all.  "The Chinese are really useless. They don't even have heavy cavalry." "We have heavy cavalry and we will definitely defeat the Tang army." The generals of the Arab Empire had absolute confidence in the heavy cavalry.  "I heard that China's Modao Battle Formation is extremely powerful when combined with cavalry. I don't know if it is." Gu Taibai has long known about the use of Modao Battle Formation, but he just doesn't believe it is as good as the rumors.  sharp.  After making a mockery, Gu Taibai looked at the crossbow formation again, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said: "That's the crossbow formation of the Tang Army. I heard it is very powerful. No matter whether it is a man or a horse, it can't withstand it. But I don't know, it is different from our stone throwing."  Compared with the machine, who is stronger and who is weaker? Well, it should be inferior to our trebuchet." Gu Taibai also knew about the crossbow formation of the Tang Army and had heard the legend of the crossbow formation.  However, he has greater confidence in the trebuchet, because in terms of range alone, the Tang Army's crossbow formation cannot compare with the trebuchet.  Because the trebuchet can be used to attack the city wall, the crossbow cannot attack the city wall. Based on this alone, Gu Taibai thought that the trebuchet was superior.  "That's the man-eating trebuchet. How powerful is it?" The general of the Tang Army looked at the trebuchet and was a little surprised.  "The range of a trebuchet is longer than that of our crossbow. Therefore, when encountering a trebuchet, you must strike first and take the initiative." Li Longji reminded the generals with a flash in his eyes.  The range of the crossbow is just over one mile or two, while the range of the trebuchet is even further. When encountering a trebuchet, you must strike first and not let the trebuchet take effect.  Otherwise, failure is not guaranteed, and a high price will be paid.  Soon, the formation of the two armies was completed.  Gu Taibai slapped his horse on his back, came to the front of the formation, and shouted: "Li Longji, answer." Li Longji rode Zhaoye Lion King to the front of the formation. Gu Taibai's eyes suddenly sunk in, and his face was full of pain.  He exclaimed: "Zhao Ye Lion King." Zhao Ye Lion King was bribed by Yusuf to assassinate Master Ni Ni. Even the Arab Empire did not have ten such good horses. Ancient Taibai compared with Night Lion King.  I know.  Not only do I know about it, I also admire it.  At this time, he couldn't help but be surprised when he first saw Lion King Zhaoye.  "Thank you for your gift of the horse." Li Longji said jokingly.  Gu Taibai¡¯s face turned red instantly, even more so than a cockscomb.  The Arab Empire's assassination of Ni Nirvana was sabotaged by Li Longji. Li Longji's words were like a loud slap in the face, which made Gu Taibai's face feel hot and uncomfortable.  "Li Longji, you don't keep your promise." Gu Taibai took a breath, forced himself to calm down, and loudly accused Li Longji: "We agreed to fight in three formations and compete with equipment in the third round. YouWhy did the whole army show up?  " "Gu Taibai, there is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that says, 'You have to be a bitch and build a memorial arch at the same time.' You are this kind of person.  "Li Longji sneered: "You obviously wanted to take advantage of the third round of fighting to catch us off guard and order the entire army to dispatch, but you still have the nerve to accuse us.  " "I this is sending troops to protect the trebuchet.  "Gu Taibai didn't want to admit it. "I know you have the guts to do it, but you don't have the guts to admit it, so I have to talk to you more.  Li Longji said coldly: "If you have any clever tricks, just use them and we will continue."  " After finishing his sentence, regardless of Gu Taibai's reaction, he patted the horse on the back and returned to the main formation. "You" Gu Taibai wanted to say more, but Li Longji left him with the back of his head, so he had to pull the horse's head and return to the main formation.  , said bitterly: "Attack!  attack!  Attack me hard!  "(To be continued)
