Chapter 695 The First Battle of the Western Expedition 4
"It's boring!"
More than ten thousand cavalrymen raised their knives together, but they saw knives standing like a forest under the scorching sun, and the bright reflective light converged into a dazzling galaxy. This kind of momentum was not small, but in Li He's view, it was just a small skill of carving insects. He didn't pay attention to it at all. He curled his lips and scolded disdainfully, but did not order an attack, and It is the way to observe the deployment of the Great Food Cavalry.
"Attack! Kill all the thieves!"
Giyad bin Saliza waited for a long time. He saw that the Tang army on the opposite side was just on the right beam, but there was no sign of an attack. He thought that he was intimidated by his own power. In addition, he bullied the Tang army with fewer soldiers, and his heart of war immediately rose, regardless of the fact that he was at a disadvantage in terms of the ground. He shouted loudly, and he took the lead and began to rush forward.
"Come with me, kill the thief! Don't you see the Hanzhong army, the weak crown captor, please..."
Seeing that the big food cavalry had already launched, Li He was unwilling to show weakness. He pulled out a horizontal knife from his waist, pointed forward, roared, and rushed down the sand beam with a high song. Seeing this, the three thousand Tang soldiers rushed to move one after another. Everyone sang loudly. The loud war song resounded through the sky, and the spirit of war boiled up in an instant.
The two cavalry men who hedged are light riders, but the equipment is very different. The light riders of the Tang army are basically wearing leather armor. Only the general-level military officials are dressed in bright armor. In addition to the horizontal knife, there are also serial short crossbows, round shields and a firearms. ** The horses are all Qinghai, which is regarded as the Tang Dynasty. The best horse in the cavalry is slightly inferior in size and sprint speed compared with the Arabian horse under the seat of the Great Food Cavalry Army, but the gap is not large enough to affect the strength of the two armies, which is also the only advantage of the Great Food Cavalry Army in equipment. In addition, the white robe worn by the Great Food Cavalry Army. As well as the short machete in his hand and even the small round shield on the saddle, the texture is inferior to that of the boss of the Tang army. As for the bows and arrows held by the Great Food Cavalry Army, they are far less than the continuous crossbows and firearms owned by the Tang Cavalry Army in terms of range and power. Of course, the strength advantage of the Great Food Cavalry Army is more than three times that of the Tang Army. However, it is also an influencing factor that cannot be ignored. Judging from the book, the two sides seem to be in an evenly matched situation.
With the launch of the two cavalry, the desert, which was originally silent, became noisy. The songs, roars and horses were intertwined and synthesized into a high-pitched war melody. The morale of both sides was so high that they believed that one side would be the winner who laughed to the end, but it was obvious. There must be one side that will become the stepping stone for the opponent. As for what, you have to fight before you know.
"A short crossbow!"
Li He is a very proud person. When fighting a war, he is certainly very fierce, but he is not a person who does not know how to change. He will never use his own advantages and fight with his opponents. When the distance between the two armies is close to 150 steps, he heard Li He's roar, he had prepared 3,000 Tangqi. He untied the crossbow hanging from his waist and aimed obliquely at the galloping cannibal array.
"The back row of archers are ready!"
Giyad bin Saliza is also an old man in the war. He is arrogant, but he will not forget his basic combat instinct. Almost at the same time as Li He ordered a short crossbow, he also shouted that the big food cavalry in the back row was ready to launch a cavalry attack.
"Fighting arrows!"
The distance of 150 steps is not short, but under the wild confrontation of the two cavalry, it is not very good, but it is just a momentary effort. The distance between the two strikers is less than 80 steps. Li He, who has already estimated, did not dare to delay at all and roared and issued an order.
"Woth, sw..."
Li He's cavalry is the old base of the Heyang army. His tactical literacy is strong. All the cavalry pulled the trigger almost at the same time, and 3,000 strong crossbows were fired at the same time. Six steel arrows were shot out of each crossbow machine, only one moment, and more than 18,000 arrows were as dense as locusts. The striker of the Great Food Cavalry was overshadowed.
"The back row counterattack, the front row rushes with me! Kill, kill, kill!"
The Great Food Cavalry Army obviously did not expect that the crossbows of the Tang army could shoot so far. When they saw the arrows and rain covering all over the sky, it was too late to react. Before the striker of the Great Food Cavalry Army picked up the small round shield on the saddle, the arrow rain had rudely fell into the military array, which aroused an endless howl. Sound, the originally neat square array immediately looked like a piece of meat that had been gnawed by a dog. There were only a few pieces of land in the east and west, and more than a thousand horses fell under the looting of the Tang army's arrow rain. As soon as this situation came out, Giard bin Salisa's eyes turned red and roared with his voice.
Giyad bin Saliza's order was decisive, but the riding array was in chaos. It was not easy to reorganize. The rear troops, which were disturbed by the fall of the front row of the cavalry, were all busy adjusting their horse steps to avoid the corpses of people and horses that fell across the ground. In a hurry, they could really follow the order to release arrows. The number of strikers is less than one, and the sparse rain of arrows does not pose much threat to the Tang cavalry at all. Except for a few unlucky cavalry who fell, the overall formation was not affected at all.
"Hear up the knife and line up!"
Li He has been serving in the cavalry since the beginning of the army. He is extremely familiar with the way of the cavalry. Seeing that the big food army is in chaos, he will not let go of such a great opportunity to break the enemy, and no matter whether the arrow rain on his head is still falling sparsely, he roared and issued the final general attack order.
"The mighty power of the Tang Dynasty, the mighty power of the Tang Dynasty!"
In the order, the battle number suddenly rose in the Tang army's array. In the majestic roar, the original square queue changed in an instant. The speed did not decrease, and it had switched to the sharp triangular assault array. Three thousand cavalry took Li He as the arrow, like an invincible arrow shot at a high speed that was still in chaos. In the middle of the big food cavalry, 3,000 snow-bright horizontal knives were raised high, shining a light of death in the scorching sun.
"Boom..."
For the two riders advancing at high speed, the distance of 60 steps is just a blink of an eye. In an instant, they have collided together and burst into a loud noise. People turned their horses, and the sound of blades and howls became a piece. With only one contact, the scattered cannibal army has already eaten a storm. At the loss, the whole forward formation was like a thick piece of beef, which was torn open a gap of the boss by the sharp breakthrough of the Tang army. The team that rushed up later rushed up and took out the knife because it had just collected the bow. The formation was as fragile and pitiful. It couldn't resist the wild attack of the Tang army at all. The death and injury were not counted, and the whole riding array was actually killed by Tang. The army rushed into two unrelated pieces.
"Turn right! Go back and kill again!"
Li He is one of the fierce generals in the Tang Dynasty army. This level of hedging battle has already gone through many times. The ability to capture fighters is comparable to ordinary people. With only one face-to-face hedging, he is quite sure of the ability of the Dashi cavalry. In his opinion, the so-called Dashi strong army is simply a heaven. It's just a big joke. Not to mention compared with the elite Tang army, there is a certain gap compared with the defeated Tubo army of the Tang army, that is, it is slightly stronger than the ordinary Turkic light cavalry. Li He really lacks interest in fighting this level of the big food cavalry, but it does not affect his determination to defeat the enemy. Although he did not look back to observe, just listening to the sound behind him, Li He knew that the Great Food Cavalry Army had been completely messed up. He refused to let go of such a good opportunity to break the enemy. He did not intend to stop the horse to rectify the formation at all. He roared, led his troops to make a circle in the desert, and killed again from the right wing to the new turn. The horse's head and the big food cavalry, who still have time to sort out the formation in the future, have exerted the spirit of beating the water dog to the limit.
"Don't mess up, whole team, whole team!"
In the previous hedging, Giard Ben Salisa did not stand above the sharpness of the Tang army. He only rode a few moves with more than a dozen Tang people who were at the outermost edge of the Tang army array. Although he was not injured, he failed to achieve any results. Compared with the past, he was bound to achieve a lot of achievements in every attack on the Western Front in previous years. It was simply a great disgrace, but now when he saw the Tang army coming and going, he was not ashamed and roared repeatedly to try to stabilize his own chaotic cavalry brigade. However, in the previous hedge, together with those killed by the bow and crossbow, the Great Food Cavalry Army has lost more than 1,500 riders, and the military heart has been greatly damaged. In the shock of the rest, not many soldiers could hear the order and move. Although Giyad bin Salissa had tried his best to roar there and killed several random soldiers with a knife, but he still couldn't stop the decline of the cavalry.
"Go in and kill!"
This head of Giyad bin Saliza has not had time to rectify the formation. Li He has been roaring and leading his troops to kill from the flank of the Great Food Cavalry. At the same time, the already chaotic Great Food Cavalry immediately fell into a collapse. There is no heart of war, and no one can care about it. How his master shouted, all of them ran away from the road. There was no trace of the prestige of a strong army. It was simply a group of unincompetent grass bandits. They were chased and killed by the Tang army, and the defeat had become an easy fort.
"Chasing, chasing!"
The task led by Li He was not only as simple as defeating the Dashi vanguard army, but also with the heavy responsibility of seducing the enemy to go deep. At this time, when he saw that the Dashi vanguard cavalry was about to escape, he refused to let the enemy get away. With an order, the rising Tang cavalry army chased behind the Dashi defeated army unrelentlessly, and it was a faction. We should eat up the vanguard army in one bite...
