Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Gu Taibai originally wanted to steal Li Longji's hand, so as to appreciate Li Longji's unlucky face and gain authority, but he did not expect that he would be snatched away by Li Longji.  Not only that, but she also called him a bitch who sells meat. This is intolerable and he cannot help but be angry.  "Kill all the Chinese!" The Arab imperial army burst out with a shocking roar. Their eastward march was to prepare for entering China and conquering China.  This was the first battle with China. The soldiers of the Arab Empire all shouted at the top of their voices, with inexhaustible energy.  "Boom boom boom." The first to show off its power was the trebuchet. The sound of the engine sounded one after another, which was earth-shattering and made people's ear drums hurt.  "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Huge rocks appeared in the air one after another, drawing wonderful parabolas and hitting the Tang army's formation.  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The stone was thrown with great force, and it hit the ground with a loud and earth-shattering sound, making the ground tremble.  "Ah! Ah! Ah!" Tang Jun was hit, either dead or injured.  Those who are hit will become meat patties, with blood and water overflowing.  "Rumble!" At the same time as the trebuchet was showing its power, the Arab Empire's heavy cavalry was dispatched and rushed towards the Tang army.  Needless to say, the power of the charge of thousands of heavy cavalry was undeniable. The earth was shaking, the ground was shaking, and the loud noise was like the beating of a divine drum, which made people's ears hurt.  "Crush the Chinese into pieces!" Looking at the heavy cavalry rushing away, Gu Taibai's eyes shone, he was very excited and roared loudly.  For heavy cavalry.  He has absolute confidence.  It will definitely crush the Tang army into pieces.  ??In the past battles fought in the Arab Empire.  The heavy cavalry is invincible. As long as the heavy cavalry is dispatched, there is no formation that they cannot shake, and there is no enemy that they cannot defeat.  "The Chinese are going to be broken into pieces!" The generals of the Arab Empire saw it with fire, and their eyes were full of wonderful little stars, as if the Tang army had been trampled into pulp by heavy cavalry.  "It's in vain." Li Longji saw it and sneered disdainfully.  "Strong crossbow. Fire!" Zhang said, waving the flag in his hand and giving an order loudly.  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Countless crossbow arrows appeared in the air, weaving into a web of arrows, and covering the heavy cavalry.  The crossbow arrows, one foot long and as thick as an arm, flew through the air like venomous snakes, looking very scary.  "Puff! Puff! Puff!" The dull sound of flesh-cutting sounded, one after another.  "Ah! Ah! Ah!" The Arabian Empire's heavy cavalry was shot and let out shrill screams.  Like a pig being slaughtered.  "Yu Yu!" The war horse was shot and neighed sadly.  It is the same as the battles fought by the Tang army in the past.  In the face of strong crossbows, the Arab Empire's heavy cavalry was still useless. They would be shot by the Tang army and skewered into meat skewers.  The only difference is that there are not as many meat skewers as before, and the number of heavy cavalry shot by crossbow bolts is not as high as before.  This is because the heavy cavalry is too heavy. The heavy armor alone weighs more than a hundred or two hundred kilograms. Adding people or horses, it becomes even heavier. Even with a powerful crossbow, it cannot be as powerful as before.  Shoot several people and send the people or horses flying through the air.  In other words, the power of the crossbow has been weakened, and it is not as sharp as before.  Even so, the results of this round of shooting were still considerable. The heavy cavalry suffered many casualties and the formation was in chaos.  "The heavy cavalry is really impressive." Li Longji saw it with admiration.  If the Tang Dynasty had not had a better choice, it would not have given up on heavy cavalry.  "Damn crossbow! Damn crossbow formation!" Gu Taibai saw this and was very unhappy.  The heavy cavalry were the treasures of the Arab Empire, and every one of them was a piece of meat. With so many casualties, Gu Taibai felt his heart bleeding.  Although there were many casualties, the heavy cavalry was still as powerful as a rainbow, charging forward towards the Tang army.  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" What greeted them was still an overwhelming barrage of crossbow arrows.  Under the repeated firing of powerful crossbows, the heavy cavalry suffered more and more casualties.  However, they still did not retreat and continued to charge.  "The great cannibal is courageous and unafraid of death, which is worthy of admiration!" The generals of the Tang Army saw this and greatly appreciated it.  Under the fire of powerful crossbows, there are not many people who can charge like this. Turks and Tibetans can occasionally have such momentum, but most of them retreat immediately when they see something is wrong.  It is indeed worthy of admiration that the heavy cavalry of the Arab Empire can be so courageous and fearless of death.  After being shot by a strong crossbow, the heavy cavalryHe rushed to the front of the Tang army's formation, pointing the spear in his hand, intending to stab the Tang army.  After entering the bow and arrow range, the Tang army did not release their bows and arrows.  Bows and arrows are useless against heavy cavalry. They are just a waste of arrows and are unnecessary.  "Mo Dao, chop!" Zhang said loudly and ordered, waving the command flag heavily in his hand.  Thousands of Mo Dao are raised high, the light is shining, and they emit a dazzling cold light in the sun, which is breathtaking.  The Mo Dao struck down, like a wall of knives hitting it hard.  ¡°Bang! Bang! Bang!¡± The sound was endless.  The spear in the hand of the heavy cavalry was hit by Mo Dao, and either let go or broke.  The Mo Dao weighs fifty kilograms, and when chopped by a strong man, it weighs hundreds of kilograms. Its power can be imagined.  Although the heavy cavalry was strong, they could not bear it and had to give up.  The power of Mo Dao is too great, so it is reasonable for the spear to break.  After hacking off the spear, Mo Dao showed no intention of stopping and struck hard at the heavily armored cavalry.  "Puff! Puff! Puff!" The dull sound was deafening.  "Ah! Ah! Ah!" The heavy cavalry screamed before death. It was shrill and harsh, as if someone was digging out the heart.  In fact, it was even worse than having their hearts ripped out, because they were chopped into pieces.  The Mo Dao slashed down with unparalleled power, even heavy armor could not stop it.  Not to mention, a heavily armored cavalryman has to face three or five Mo Dao without even wanting to die!  Even if you don¡¯t want to be broken into pieces!  "Yu Yu!" The war horse was hit and made a sad neigh before it died. It would also be chopped into pieces.  This round of attack.  The heavy cavalry were all wiped out.  But the price paid by the Tang army was minimal.  Casualties were mainly from trebuchets.  Otherwise, there were few casualties.  "" Looking at the bodies and fragments of the heavy cavalry that fell to the ground, the generals of the Arab Empire were collectively speechless.  Even Gu Taibai was speechless, as if he had seen a ghost.  Heavy cavalry is the treasure of the Arab Empire. It is always unfavorable. In past battles, as long as the heavy cavalry is dispatched, the Arab Empire will win a great victory.  Like today.  This was the first time that the entire heavy cavalry army had been wiped out. Gu Taibai and the others felt as if they were in a dream.  "Is this true?" "I wasn't dreaming?" "Our heavy cavalry is really finished?" After a while, the generals of the Arab Empire saw clearly, but they were still shocked, doubtful and unbelievable.  "Damn crossbow array!" Gu Taibai was the first to wake up and bitterly accepted this reality.  "The crossbow formation is too terrifying, we must not charge again." Gu Taibai had extraordinary military talent, and he knew very well that if he charged again.  It just increases casualties.  In front of the powerful crossbow array of the Tang Army, any flesh and blood is in vain.  Even heavy cavalry is of no use.  "Trebuchet, hit me at the crossbow formation, smash the crossbow." Immediately afterwards, Gu Taibai thought of the crux of the problem.  As long as the Tang army's crossbow formation is broken, the heavy cavalry will have a place to use and can be used to charge.  Although the Tang Army¡¯s Mo Dao Battle Formation was very impressive, the heavy cavalry was not necessarily worse than the Mo Dao Battle Formation.  Because these two arms have strong attack power, if the heavy cavalry is in a neat formation and rushes in with all their strength, although the Modao battle formation is great, it may not be a good outcome.  Therefore, destroying the Tang Army's crossbow formation is the first priority.  As soon as the order was passed, the trebuchet adjusted its direction and prepared to attack the crossbow array.  At this moment, Zhang Shui waved the flag in his hand and loudly ordered: "Cavalry attack! Destroy the trebuchets!" The Arab Empire's trebuchets had a longer range and were out of reach of the Tang Army's crossbows, so they had to send out cavalry to destroy them.  If the trebuchet cannot be destroyed, the crossbow will be in big trouble.  "Rumble!" The cavalry of the Tang Army got the order and galloped out.  This time, the Tang army dispatched elite cavalry, and the leading cavalry were all wearing Mingguang armor.  Behind them were the ordinary Tang Army cavalry.  The cavalry of the Tang Army divided into two groups, the left and right, like two iron pincers, rushing towards the trebuchet.  "Don't even think about it!" Gu Taibai understood the purpose of the Tang army's cavalry, sneered and ordered: "Cavalry, intercept." "Rumble!" The cavalry of the Arab Empire dispatched to meet them like a whirlwind.  Soon, the two cavalry met each other.  The outcome of this encounter was very different from the second round of confrontation.  In the second round of confrontation, the cavalry of the two countries were evenly matched, and neither one could do anything about the other.  This time, it was the cavalry of the Tang Army that suppressed the cavalry of the Arab Empire.    This is because the Tang Army's cavalry first dispatched elite cavalry wearing bright light armor, and secondly, they used hand crossbows.  ??The elite cavalry wearing bright light armor, the tip of the spear, is indestructible.  Although the cavalry of the Arabian Empire were very skilled with swords and slashed ferociously, the cuts on the Mingguang Armor were just sparks and could not cause any harm to the elite cavalry of the Tang Army.  On the other hand, the elite cavalry of the Tang Army were either killed or injured when they attacked the Arabian Empire cavalry.  The elite cavalry of the Tang Army opened the way, and the ordinary cavalry followed up. They rushed the Arabian Empire's cavalry to pieces and fell into disarray.  Not to mention hand crossbows, the Tang army shot and killed with hand crossbows from a distance. The Arab Empire cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was chaotic early. In the subsequent duel between spears and horses, they were at a disadvantage.  Equipping cavalry with long weapons is to create chaos for the enemy and create more favorable conditions for the subsequent killing. If the cavalry is at a disadvantage in the duel with long weapons, it will be even more unfavorable for the subsequent killing.  Soon, the Tang Army cavalry repelled the Arabian Empire cavalry, and then, like a whirlwind, they headed straight for the trebuchet.  "Stop them! Stop them!" The Arab Emperor's troops protecting the trebuchets yelled and rushed to intercept them, but they were no match for the Tang Army's cavalry and were quickly killed.  ¡°Destroy the trebuchet!¡± Chen Xuanli and Xue Zhi, the leaders, shouted.  (To be continued)
