The fierce Arab cavalry hit their heads in front of the Mo Dao formation of the Anxi Army and was torn to pieces. The hot blood melted the ice and snow under their feet, and the broken limbs and broken arms of the corpses of the men and horses were spread on the ground in a thick layer. Their appearance was miserable and as if
Purgatory.
The attempt to break up the Anxi army array was blocked, and the Arab cavalry became increasingly confused. They realized that their retreat was intercepted, and the entire army might be annihilated. Unprecedented panic quickly spread among the army.
There was no way to advance or retreat on the snowy river, and some people even wanted to rush forward.
Even if the front is Gongyue City, the most important stronghold of the Anxi Army in the Western Region, and it is likely to be attacked by countless firearms and Tang crossbows if it hits it, it is still better than staying here and waiting to die!
Ye Zide also panicked and hurriedly commanded his supervising team to kill those defeated soldiers who tried to escape from the formation, boost morale, and reorganize.
However, the Anxi Army would not let him organize a new round of offensive. Xue Rengui stood in the rear array with his helmet on, looking at the enemy's situation through the vast wind and snow. He saw that the enemy's array was becoming more and more scattered, and there were even some
Some cavalrymen darted from left to right like headless chickens. They were at a loss and immediately ordered: "Forward!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The loud horn sounded in the wind and snow, and there was impatience in the desolation. The formation of the Anxi Army remained unchanged, and the well-trained soldiers held Mo Dao and moved forward.
"Boom!" The neat steps of more than a thousand people seemed like one person, and thousands of feet fell together, like a war drum being beaten, which made people's hearts tremble.
Thousand-handled Mo Dao still raised its tip upwards diagonally, advancing like a wall!
The Arab cavalry in front of the Anxi Army tried to resist, but they could not even charge in front of the Anxi Army, which was heavily armored and had a sharp Mo Dao. They could only watch the Anxi Army approaching step by step, with the sharp Mo Dao.
It was chopped neatly from top to bottom.
The sword shines brightly and blood flows.
In the past, the Arab cavalry who were arrogant across Europe and Asia were like wolf dogs escaping in the wilderness. They were blocked by the Tang army in the narrow river and slaughtered at will.
The flickering light of the sword was like a blade wall, advancing slowly but firmly. Countless once fierce and violent Hulu were shattered in front of the blade wall, with blood flowing freely. Panic spread like a plague among the Arab cavalry. There was no trace of West Asia at this moment.
The Lord's majesty can only run around shouting and weeping bitterly.
These seem to be armed with faith? In fact, they are burning, killing and plundering the scum that is ravaging civilized society like locusts? At this moment, they have forgotten to pray to their gods. Why don't they come down from the sky to save them, these lambs trapped in purgatory? They only look towards the riverbed and hills on both sides.
They fled desperately. The hills were steep and the horses' hooves slipped and rolled over them, so they abandoned their horses and walked, using both hands and feet to flee toward the weak point of the Tang army.
What is the glory of conquering the Western Regions? What is the ambition to plunder the Tang Dynasty? It is not more important to survive than to save one's life.
When the so-called faith in the heart was cut to pieces by Tang Jun's Mo Dao, the cowardice and despicability hidden in the bones unstoppably took over the body, and more than ten thousand people fled like dogs driven by wolves across the mountains and plains.
This made the Tang army's neatly arranged Mo Dao Formation unsustainable, because once they went to chase these defeated troops, the Mo Dao Formation, which relied on the formation to release its maximum combat power, would be self-defeating.
Without the advantage of the array, how could it withstand the charge of the Arab cavalry?
The Tang army could only stand there, looking at the Arab soldiers running wildly across the mountains and plains, looking at each other.
Xue Rengui was also a little dumbfounded. In order to lure the enemy into this river? He deliberately asked his soldiers to abandon their horses, and then lurked behind the hills to insert the enemy's rear formation to block their retreat? Facts have proved that his strategy was very effective. Modao Formation was
Is it the nemesis of the cavalry? Moreover, the snow here is deep, so it is difficult for the Arab cavalry to speed up the charge? They are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of the Mo Dao Formation.
However, disadvantages also appeared? When the enemy army broke up and fled? The Anxi Army did not dare to withdraw from the Modao Formation to pursue. Once the enemy organized a decent counterattack, the Anxi Army soldiers could only let the enemy cavalry slaughter them...
Fortunately, Xue Rengui has a rigorous temperament and knows how to give up when things are good. In this battle, he has killed no less than 3,000 enemy troops. The most important thing is that he severely defeated the enemy's spirit and knocked their morale to the bottom. This is comparable to that of a battle formation.
The effect of winning a game is better.
At this time, the troops under his command were restricted from pursuing at will. The more than a thousand swordsmen were divided into five squares, supplemented by spearmen, crossbowmen, and shieldmen. They fought separately and attacked separately to chase down the remaining enemy troops. However, they were strictly ordered not to pursue two more troops.
Ten miles away, and then gathered in place.
The Arab soldiers who abandoned their horses and fled were like rabbits being chased by hunters, running for their lives in the snow. How could they stop and organize a formation to launch a counterattack? Even the supervisory team was nowhere to be seen...
Ye Zide felt that a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out, and he was extremely depressed. He was about to mount his horse and charge forward with his sword to fight to the death with the Tang army, but he was pulled off his horse by the frightened soldiers beside him, and then ignored him.
Ye Zide was furious, pushed him to the ground, took off his majestic cloak, cut off his beard, and even threw away the iron helmet on his head. Then he took off the clothes from a dead soldier and put them on him, dressing him up as a
He looked like an ordinary soldier, and then they protected him and followed the scattered soldiers all the way south over the hills, fleeing like crazy.
This was Caliph Muawiya's favorite son. If he died here, with the Caliph's cruelty and Arab customs, not only would all the soldiers here not survive, but their family members would also have to be captured and buried...
The laws of the Great Food Kingdom are unbelievably cruel. Except for the nobles, civilian slaves are almost the same as dolphins and dogs.
Everyone knew that Ye Qide had a violent temper, especially when his blood was high, his IQ was infinitely close to zero. How dare you let him go back and die under the sword of the Tang Army? Several people changed Ye Zide's clothes, even blocked his mouth, and raised his hands.
He was carried on his feet and mixed in with the disintegrating team, climbed over the hills, ran all the way in the vast snow, and made a long circle, until he returned to the camp safely in the evening.
Ye Zide also calmed down along the way and understood that if his own soldiers had not held him hostage until his death and returned, he would have died in the Tang army's formation by now.
He is not afraid of death, but his father has entrusted him with an important position, and he will command and command the more than 200,000 elite troops. If he dies, these more than 200,000 people will be leaderless, and they are afraid that they will be chased and killed by the Tang army.
The annihilation of the army is not impossible.
If that's the case, I'm afraid even my father's rule will be shaken...
When the generals in the camp saw Ye Zide going out in a very aggressive manner and throwing away his helmet and armor when he returned, they naturally understood what had happened and did not dare to say a word.
Ye Zide was alone in the camp and drank half a bottle of strong wine. Then he asked people to count the troops and horses. He found that of the more than 10,000 people he took with him when he went out, only about 3,000 came back, and the rest died tragically on the crossbow of the Tang army.
Under the knife, you will either get lost or separated in the snowfield.
The weather is severely cold and the heavy snow has not stopped. If the separated soldiers cannot return to the camp before dark, they will freeze to death in the field...
Ye Zide felt very frustrated.
When he went on the expedition, he was extremely ambitious. He only felt that the Tang Empire in the far east was prosperous and prosperous, but it was strong on the outside and incompetent on the inside. He did not see that either the Han Dynasty that threatened the world or the Sui Dynasty that claimed to dominate the world before, or even the Tang Dynasty today.
Have they never truly conquered the Western Regions?
The Western Region is vast and full of small countries, but they are just a bunch of scattered cities. The Arab army only needs to be pointed by the sword to be instantly overwhelmed.
Compared with this, Datang has nothing to fear.
However, when I set foot in the Western Regions and faced off against the Anxi Army with real swords and guns, I found that this was not the case at all. The strength of the Anxi Army was not only reflected in the quality of its soldiers being higher than those of the Arab soldiers, but also in its unpredictable skills.
Tactical strategy.
Until now, the Anxi army has never fought a battle with the Arab army in a dignified manner without any fancy.
They are dodging and evading, and there are conspiracies and tricks everywhere, which simply insults the courage of the Arab soldiers!
But it happened that such fancy tactics led to being restrained at every turn, and they continued to lose troops and generals. This was because the Tang Dynasty devoted its entire country to the Eastern Expedition, which resulted in the Western Regions, and Guanzhong was empty of troops.
How can we defeat him?
After the anger dissipated, endless fear surged in Ye Zide's heart.
He realized that his so-called rapid advancement, outflanking and other strategies were not enough in front of the Tang people. Not only did they fail to achieve the expected results, but they were targeted and exploited by the Tang people. They sneak attacked him from time to time, although they were not able to reverse the situation of the battle.
But no matter how many soldiers and generals I have, I can't bear to peel off my skin layer by layer like this!
