"I will obey your orders!" Duan Xiushi clasped his fists tightly and replied resolutely.
Following Gao Shuai for more than ten years, they traveled all over the country and fought hundreds of battles, large and small, but never once encountered a life and death battle like today.
It can be said that this is the toughest and most difficult battle that Duan Xiushi has fought since he joined the army! But only such a battle is interesting enough to fully stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers!
Gao Xianzhi tilted his head slightly and patted Duan Xiushi's arm. Xiao Duan had always been his most trusted arm, and he was absolutely relieved to entrust this important task to him. There was no need to say anything more at this moment, everything was said without words.
!
"Pass my general's order and the entire army will attack!"
Duan Xiushi raised his arms and gave a loud order.
"General Duan has given an order, the heavy armored cavalry will march out, the light infantry will advance forward, and the entire army will change formations and assemble!"
"General Duan has an order, the entire army must assemble on the right wing! General Duan has an order, the entire army must assemble quickly!"
"..."
The ordering soldier took the order flag from Duan Xiushi and galloped along the horse path left for him in the array, passing Duan Xiushi's order to the ears of every battalion and every team of sergeants.
Gradually, the six thousand elite cavalry of the Anxi Army began to line up and assemble. It was noon at this time, and the sun shone brightly, reflecting little bits of gold on Mingjia. This is the elite of the Anxi Army, and it is He
Mo Daojun's trump card is equally effective and will never be used easily unless absolutely necessary!
Previously, the Anxi Army fought mostly nomadic peoples such as the Tuqishi and Western Turks, and they mainly attacked long distances. Therefore, although the Anxi Army also had heavy cavalry, most of them were light cavalry.
But not so against Dashi!
The Great Eaters are most famous for their heavy armored cavalry, and it is precisely with the heavy armored cavalry that they can sweep across the river!
Facing such a powerful opponent, it is obviously unrealistic to rely only on Mo Daoshou to restrain them. The Anxi Tang Army needs an equally powerful cavalry regiment to confront them head-on!
Although light cavalry can also complete the task of circumventing and containing raids, it is absolutely impossible for them to face off against heavy armored cavalry!
Therefore, with the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, the Anxi Army was equipped with the sharpest and most elite heavy armored cavalry team in the Tang Dynasty. This was the envy of An Lushan and Anhuer, the Jiedushi Commander of the Three Towns!
However, the heavy armored cavalry of the Tang Army was different from the heavy armor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It protected the soldiers very well, but the horses had very few armor pieces, which only protected the chest and face! The Anxi heavy armored cavalry and its soldiers were well-equipped
Protected by battle armor, its battle armor is similar to that of infantry armor. The only difference is that cavalry armor has skirts, shoulders and
The armor is obviously shorter than that of infantry. This is of course to facilitate movement on horseback and make up for the speed disadvantage caused by heavy armor. In order to eliminate the danger of stray arrows in the rider's body, Gao Shuai specially ordered the military craftsman to develop a one-foot-square armor.
During the war, belts were used to fix the armor plates on the legs and arms of the Anxi Army cavalry.
It can be said that this is a unique heavy armored cavalry. This is a heavy armored cavalry that only belongs to the Anxi Army and is proud of the Anxi Army!
In less than a stick of incense, the cavalry array was formed and ready to attack at any time. But Duan Xiushi did not give the order. He was waiting for another array to be formed, which was the light armored infantry of the Tang Army!
This time, Gao Shuai brought a total of 5,000 light infantry from Qiuci to bear the heavy responsibility of the battlefield assault. However, in the past few days, the cannibals had been launching exploratory attacks. They were tired of defense, and most of them were heavy soldiers led by Siye.
The armored infantry took the limelight, but the light infantry formation was hidden by the commander-in-chief, saving all his energy!
This will be a sharp blade that plunges into the heart of the big cannibal!
...
...
"Woo--Woo-Woo!"
"Woo--Woo-Woo!"
One short, one long, one short! The military horn sounded, and the light infantry boarded the chariot one after another, waiting for Duan Xiushi's general order!
Duan Xiushi nodded with satisfaction and squinted slightly as he looked at the Dashi Army Formation a mile away. Although these five thousand light infantry were not as protected as Mo Dao Shou with Mingguang Armor, they had a speed advantage. This speed advantage not only
It is reflected in the lightness of the armor and ordnance, and it is also reflected in the chariot!
In order to prevent the soldiers from being exhausted due to long-distance attacks, Gao Shuai specially ordered craftsmen to make chariots and horses to carry the infantry forward. During the war, the infantry units of the Anxi Army moved by chariots and horses instead of on foot. They only arrived on the battlefield when they arrived.
Get off the car and fight in formation!
A bow, thirty arrows, a heavy sword with a broken handle, a spear, and a square cowhide shield! Although the ordnance is not luxurious, it is enough for an impact array. What they want is explosive power and ultimate speed!
Their purpose is to defeat the Zhuhu coalition forces in one fell swoop and let them break up the cannibal's main formation!
"Woo-woo--woo!"
"Woo-woo--woo!"
Two short and one long, the whole army is assembled!
Duan Xiushi turned over and jumped on his horse and glanced at the troops. These more than ten thousand Han family members were his lords and brothers. Now they were going to complete a great battle that would be recorded in history!
Taking a deep breath, Duan Xiushi swung his sword horizontally and shouted: "The whole army attacks!"
"W-W-W!"
"W-W-W!"
The three shorts sounded in unison, and the whole army marched!
The carriages and horses started running at the same time, rushing towards the Zhuhu coalition forces one mile away. That was the left wing of the cannibal. Once the left wing was broken, the Chinese army would be in chaos. This was like Tian Ji's horse racing, and Duan Xiu was about to block it.
!
Tens of thousands of armored soldiers rolled up the billowing yellow dust and marched towards the left wing of Dashi in a bow shape! The infantry, chariots and horses were in the middle, and the heavy armored cavalry separated the two wings! This is the most familiar tactic of the Anxi Tang Army. The infantry first attacks the opponent with arrows, and then forms a knife formation
To meet
.The cavalry quickly harassed the enemy's rear from the flanks and attacked the opponent on two fronts! When the enemy became panicked, the cavalry harassed the enemy's rear from the flanks and rear, subduing the opponent's main force. At the same time, the infantry began to advance with sword formations! Finally, encirclement and annihilation were achieved.
!
Wing around, attack from the front and back!
Simple, effective, and effective!
Even if the Zhuhu coalition forces number up to 100,000, even if their own number is only one-tenth of theirs, so what? The Anxi Tang army never knows what fear is, they want to fight for themselves, their fellow villagers, and the Tang Dynasty!
They must use this sword!
The sword is there for the people, but the sword dies and the people die. They will never fall until the last drop of blood is shed!
They are men, men of the Tang Dynasty, and they should fight for their families and country!
With the drums and horns majestic and the flags fluttering, the Battle of Talas is bound to become a classic, and all of this will be written by oneself!
"Drive!" Duan Xiushi whipped the horse whip fiercely, held his breath and concentrated on the horse, and transformed into a faint bunch of pale color in the black military formation.
The beacons on three sides were in chaos, with hundreds of thousands of people marching wildly. The wind swept through the Changshan formation, and the bamboo sticks were noisy in the thin willow camp.
The sword flower will not fall in the cold, and the bow and moon will shine brighter. We will take the land in the river and hold it as Shuofang City!
ps: The infantryman riding a chariot to the battlefield is not a fabrication. It is indeed recorded in historical materials and can be found in the "Taibai Yin Jing".
