Muhan Ali Kenyon's strategy cannot be wrong. After all, the Food Army still has more than 90,000 soldiers and horses. Although most of the logistics equipment was lost before, it can still last for several days no matter what.
Taking the initiative to attack, with so many troops gathered into a group, no matter how powerful the Tang army is, they may not be able to attack. Once the main force arrives, it will be the Tang army's turn to be unlucky. Of course, the prerequisite is that the food army must be large.
Can hold it.
Whether it can be defended or not depends not on words, nor on Muhan Ali Kenyon's wishful thinking. It depends on whether the Tang army agrees. Obviously, the Tang army has no intention of succeeding in the food army.
Although they did not launch a sudden attack, they did not retreat. The two Tang cavalrymen swam back and forth more than 200 steps away from the Dashi army's formation, seemingly not paying attention to the tense formation of the Dashi army.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty Army who were originally deployed on the small high ground began to move down the mountain, and slowly formed an array less than 300 steps away from the Great Food Army. They were extremely calm and did not worry at all.
A possible raid by the Food Army.
At the last seven moments, after a lot of busy work, the formation of the Great Food Army was finally arranged. However, 90,000 horses were divided into nine square formations, arranged in a circle, with the infantry in front and the cavalry in the back.
There are passages for rotation, and the entire formation is quite rigorous, showing the elite of the Great Food Army. The two cavalry units of the Tang Army have returned to the formation early, and a cavalry array has been arranged on both wings.
In this formation, the two armies faced each other at a distance of more than 280 steps, and a battle was about to break out.
"Let's get started!"
Liu Ziming has been in the army for many years and has fought many battles, but this is the first time he has commanded an army alone in a large battle. At this time, although his face was tense, the fanaticism in his eyes was unmistakable.
Revealing his excitement, Liu Ziming impatiently gave the order to attack as soon as the artillery set up their positions.
"Shoot quickly and release!"
Although the artillery position had just been set up, the design elements had already been set up a long time ago. There was no need for a test firing. After Liu Ziming gave the order, the artillery regiment commander Su Qingsheng did not dare to neglect it and waved his hand hurriedly.
He gave the order loudly.
"Boom boom..."
Twelve infantry cannons and three heavy cannons opened fire at once. Amidst the deafening sound of the cannons, dozens of artillery shells passed through the air at high speed and roared into the front line of the food army. In an instant, a flower exploded.
A black mushroom cloud appeared, and the densely arranged food army was in great trouble. However, in the light of the fire, countless stumps and broken arms were flying around, and the sound of howling was heard one after another. The originally strict formation
There was chaos in an instant.
"Hahaha... What a fool. There are so many meaty targets. It's so smooth and tight to hit. Come again, come again!"
After one round of shooting, dozens of huge holes were gnawed out of the front formation of the Great Food Army. The insurgent soldiers crowded around. Although they were not defeated, the formation was basically gone. However, Liu Ziming did not
He did not plan to take the opportunity to launch a general attack, but laughed and ordered the artillery to continue speaking.
"Boom boom..."
The artillerymen of the Tang Army were all well-trained people, and the speed of loading artillery shells was extremely fast. Without waiting for the food army to adjust, another round of volley greeted them unceremoniously, blasting the entire front line of the food army.
They fell into a complete panic. No matter how much the cavalry supervisory team behind them slashed with their swords, they could not stop the disintegration of the infantry of the front army. The enemy in front of the Tang army was already in chaos.
"The artillery extends its fire, the cavalry attacks!"
As soon as he saw that the fighter plane was revealed, Liu Ziming was no longer polite. With a wave of his hand, he issued the order for a general attack.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
As soon as the general attack was ordered, the horn of the Tang Army's central military office sounded loudly and loudly, conveying the order to the cavalry troops on both wings.
"Attack!"
"Follow me, kill the thief, kill the thief, kill the thief!"
As soon as they heard the horn blasting wildly from the central army, Li He on the left and Wang Yu on the right shouted almost simultaneously and led their troops to charge. However, they saw the two Tang troops rushing out of their formation like two raging dragons rolling around the ground.
The momentum surged toward the chaotic Dashi front army.
"Send the order: Mutuso and Huktu immediately attack to block the Tang Cavalry! The rest of the troops immediately turn to the front and prepare to defend!"
Mohan Ali Kenyon's original intention of forming such an absolutely defensive turtle formation was to use the solid defense to consume the Tang army's effective strength, but he never expected that his front army would be defeated so quickly. Although he was shocked, he
He did not dare to be careless and did not bother to reorganize the front army. He shouted and ordered the cavalry on the left and right wings to attack quickly in an attempt to block Tang Qi's wild attack. At the same time, he ordered a change of formation and changed the original circular formation.
Shrink into a square formation to stabilize the formation when your own cavalry fails.
"Send a signal and have General Su lead his troops to attack immediately!"
Although the Great Food Army's tactical adjustment ability is considered good, it is not an easy matter to adjust such a large formation in place. Even though the Great Food Army has tried its best, chaos still inevitably occurs.
This gave the Tang army a chance to make a fatal blow, but after hearing an order from Lin Chengbin, who was standing on the high ground on the left side of the battlefield, the orderly soldiers following him immediately waved two signal flags quickly and issued the order to the early morning.
Su Yan's troops had been ambushing them on the right flank of the battlefield for a long time.
"Follow me, assault, assault!"
Speaking of which, Su Yan is also an old man in the Hehuang Army. Although he is not very old, only less than thirty, he has served in the Hehuang Army for more than seven years. As soon as the Hehuang Army was established, he has
He is a lieutenant colonel in the army, and his martial arts is also quite outstanding. However, there are three tiger generals such as Agutai in the army. It is difficult for him to get ahead. It was not until Agutai and others died on the battlefield that Su Yan really started to board the army.
Hexi Army's stage, but after all, his background was weak, and he failed to get a chance to stand alone in several battles. In the previous battle of Surhan Valley, he stayed in Hexi and failed to make it. It was not until after the war that he led the army
Five thousand cavalry troops came to Persia for reinforcements, but after arriving, the war was already in a stalemate. Su Yan still failed to win the battle. This time, he led his troops as the main force of the assault. It was the first time that Su Yan served as a general.
I was very excited when I came on stage. When I saw the signal flag on the distant mountain giving the order to attack, I was so excited that my body could not help but tremble slightly. I roared and led my troops out.
They were lying in ambush and rushed toward the rear formation of the Great Food Army like flying.
"The rear army turns back, defend, defend! Bayan, hurry up, bring your people up, block the Tang army, hurry up!"
Everyone has habitual thinking, and Muhan Ali Kenyon is no exception. Although he knew that the main force of the Tang Army was not only the 150 million men and horses that had been exposed to the public, but also knew that there must be others in the Tang Army.
Ambush, but I don’t think they will be behind me. After all, Li He and Wang Yu have already come out from behind. Logically speaking, there should be no more troops on the rear. Of course, just in case.
, Mohan Ali Kenyon formed a circular formation from the beginning, in order to be able to securely defend the four directions, but he did not expect that the front army was blown away by two rounds of artillery attacks by the Tang Army. As a last resort, he could only
They re-adjusted their formation in an attempt to secure their defense, but when they discovered that the Tang Army had actually launched a large number of cavalry from the side and rear, they immediately panicked. Regardless of the fact that the formation had not yet been adjusted in place, they hurriedly made another change.
It’s chaos, it’s all chaos! The most taboo thing on the battlefield is that the coach’s two orders are completely opposite, and what’s worse than this is that the two orders are almost connected together. There is no doubt that Mohan?
Ali Kenyon made both mistakes. Needless to say, the result was that the three square formations in the rear were all in chaos. Some continued to turn forward, while others were busy turning back. There was no trace of rigor.
Sex can be said.
"My sons, the time has come for a decisive battle. God, please show me your courage and show the Tang bandits the bravery of my big food son. Kill, kill, kill!"
The war situation has become extremely unfavorable, and Esmil Weah Bayan has no choice but to fight for his life. Even though his troops have just been defeated for a while and their morale has not yet recovered, at this time, they can only fight for their lives, and not for anything else.
Because all the ministries are now busy with themselves, only his troops are stationed at the central army as a reserve force and are still able to maneuver. At this critical moment, Esmil Weah Bayan had to muster up courage.
, waving a scimitar, loudly encouraged his soldiers, and then rushed out of the central army at the lead, and attacked Su Yan's troops along the road reserved between the formations of all parties.
"The true God is above, the true God is above!"
Although the morale of the defeated army was not high, seeing how brave their leader was, their fighting spirit increased. With the support of religious fanaticism, they roared and launched a charge. However, the momentum of the attack of 15,000 iron cavalry was also limited.
It's spectacular, but it's hard to describe any formations, just wild rampage.
"If you don't see the army of the Han Dynasty, the weak-headed prisoners will ask for long tassels. If you don't see the ban Dingyuan, the light cavalry of the Jue domain will urge the war..."
Compared with the roaring and shouting of the Dashi Cavalry, the Tang Dynasty Cavalry is obviously much more organized. Not only is the formation maintained extremely perfectly, but the loud war songs resound through the sky, and the rolling iron flow moves forward inexorably, with a momentum that shakes the heavens and the earth!
"Draw out the crossbow!"
The distance of four miles is not long. Under the collision of two cavalry armies galloping at full speed, it is only half a cup of tea. As the two armies continue to accelerate, the distance has quickly shortened to less than a hundred steps.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of Dashi had their scimitars raised high, preparing for a head-to-head cavalry decisive battle. However, Su Yan was not in a hurry, smiled coldly, and shouted the order.
"Shua..."
After giving the general's order, the eight thousand cavalrymen all took off the crossbows hanging from their waists, placed them on the arms holding the reins, and aimed at the charging Dashi cavalry with their fingers clasped tightly.
Crossbow machine, ready to give the food army a big surprise at any time...
