Chapter 1029: The Modao Team!

Chapter 1029

"Master Gao, you also know that most of our army is infantry, and in fact, the most powerful force in Datang is also infantry, although there are also a considerable number of cavalry. But in terms of cavalry alone, except for black-scarred iron cavalry, there are very few The cavalry can be compared with the cavalry."

Wang Chong said sincerely. He had thought about this plan for a long time, but Gao Xianzhi's consent was still needed to actually launch it.

"That's true. The Anxi Protectorate Army is already the elite of the Tang Dynasty's major protectors. But it doesn't have much advantage in the face of the big cannibals. If we don't have the city of Talas as our back, it is impossible for us to persevere in the wilderness Such a long time, against a large number of big cannibals."

Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.

Whether it is the big cannibals, the Western Turks, or the Uzbek Tibetans, they are all peoples on horseback. In this regard, the Tang Dynasty, as a farming nation, cannot compare. This is already a public opinion, and there is no need to deny it.

"To fight against foreigners, we actually rely more on infantry, cavalry, and ballista troops for mixed operations. This is different from Dashi and Western Turks. The combat methods of the two sides are different, and it is not easy to directly For comparison. Only in the plains and wilderness areas, the cavalry still has an absolute advantage."

Gao Xianzhi said.

Wang Chong nodded, and Gao Xianzhi's last sentence revealed the real situation of everyone. The wilderness terrain of Talas is definitely the most unfavorable terrain for Datang, who is dominated by infantry. Here, the mobility of the cavalry far exceeds that of the infantry, and the endless flat terrain also allows the cavalry to better form their formation and charge to the extreme at the same time.

If Wang Chong hadn't erected two steel lines of defense outside the city of Talas, and carried a large number of destructive Datang crossbows as a deterrent, it would have been difficult for the infantry of the Tang Dynasty to defend against the impact of so many elite cavalry. .

"This is what I have always wanted to change. If the situation is really as provided by the Khorasan people, 400,000 elite soldiers and three major food governors will be challenges we have never encountered. Moreover, Abu Mu S/Lin has been fighting with us for so long and has already gained experience, so it may be difficult for the two steel lines of defense to stop them for too long."

Wang Chong said.

He never underestimated any opponent, let alone the most outstanding top general of the Dashi Empire like Abu Muslin/Lin. Even Daqin Ruozan in the southwest can think of using ropes, elephants and the like to deal with the steel wall, not to mention the stronger Dashi that can deploy more resources.

"If this is the case, we can only withdraw to Talas City..."

Gao Xianzhi said, frowning unknowingly.

"But if we retreat to the city, we will completely lose the initiative and fall into the opponent's rhythm. More importantly, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road. This is the first large-scale conflict between Dashi and Datang. Dashi doesn’t understand, and Dashi also doesn’t understand Datang. As long as we retreat into the city, it’s tantamount to showing the enemy’s weakness, and with the ambition of Dashi Empire, future wars will inevitably be endless.”

Wang Chong spoke out the second half of the omission for Gao Xianzhi.

This battle is not just a battle for power, but also a battle for momentum. This is why Wang Chong must insist on building two steel lines of defense outside the city to defend the enemy from the outside, not from the inside. At the same time, it was also the reason why Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi defeated the big cannibal, but did not retreat from Talas!

"...More than that, if Dashi learns the lesson from last time and doesn't fight against Talas. In less than three months, when we run out of food and grass, we will definitely lose!"

There was silence in the study, Gao Xianzhi frowned tightly and remained silent, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Abu Muslin/Lin is a mighty fighter, but he definitely lacks strategy. For the first time, he thought he could attack by force, but he didn't make any progress for two full months. Come again this time, if Datang wants to rely on the city of Talas, it may not be so simple. What's more dangerous is that once the two steel lines of defense are lost, the Uszang, the Western Turks, and the big cannibals get together, and gather seven strong men of the general level of the empire. The three empires are likely to choose to attack by force His strength crushed Datang.

"how do you want to do it?"

After a while, Gao Xianzhi broke the silence and said directly.

Wang Chong smiled lightly, knowing that Gao Xianzhi had figured it out:

"I want to form a new unit, the Modao Warrior!"

"Modao Warrior?"

Gao Xianzhi raised his head and looked at Wang Chong behind the table with a look of doubt in his eyes. Gao Xianzhi was well-informed and familiar with military books, but he had never heard of this kind of phalanx.

"What does this mean? Have you changed your weapon?"

Gao Xianzhi keenly extracted the word "Modao" from Wang Chong's words. Datang has all kinds of knives, but I have never heard of the word Modao.

"Hehe, I know I can't hide it from my lord."

Wang Chong smiled slightly, and wasn't ready to show off:

"Come on, bring things in!"

"Yes, my lord!"

A voice sounded from outside, and under Gao Xianzhi's curious gaze, a soldier of the Qixi Capital Guard, holding a seven or eight-foot-long brocade box with his head held high, strode in from outside.

"Creasing Moon Knife?"

Gao Xianzhi turned his head to look at Wang Chong on one side, and couldn't hide his surprise.

The shape of weapons in the Tang Dynasty, the sword is three feet, a few four feet, the knife is slightly longer, but there is not much difference. There are very few long knives that can reach four feet, and the only one Gao Xianzhi knows that can reach this length is the Qinglong Yanyue Knife. It is rumored that more than 500 years ago, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the martial sage surnamed Changlianguan recognized in China used the Qinglong Yanyue Dao.

But this kind of weapon is only suitable for martial arts. The level of the imperial general itself is a one-on-one fight between the top powerhouses, and it can also be included in the scope of martial arts. Naturally, this weapon can be used. But for ordinary soldiers, it is extremely inconvenient to use this weapon on a large scale.

"of course not!"

Under Gao Xianzhi's stunned expression, Wang Chong smiled and shook his head, then stood up from behind the desk, and walked to the soldier from the Qixi Governor's Mansion:

"Adults will know when they look at it."

While speaking, he gestured to the soldier. Pop, the brocade box was opened, and a seven or eight-foot weapon with a shape completely different from any weapon in this world lay quietly at the bottom of the box, appearing in this world for the first time. Seeing the weapon at the bottom of the box, even Gao Xianzhi couldn't help shrinking his pupils, revealing a hint of surprise.

The weapon in the box has a straight blade with an extremely sharp blade, and the design of both the blade body and the back is extremely smooth, making it extremely easy to chop and chop. One can tell at a glance that it is an extremely powerful weapon. Moreover, the surface of the weapon is as smooth as a mirror, and its shape is extremely gorgeous, just like a giant shark in the sea. Although it is ferocious, its appearance is extremely elegant.

This is no longer just a weapon, but the most exquisite work of art, and even the cruel thing of killing has been raised to the realm of art.

Even Gao Xianzhi had to admit that Wang Chong had indeed reached an astonishing level in weapon casting!

Looking at the world, not only the Tang Dynasty, but also all the countries in the entire continent, there is no one who can compare with Wang Chong.

However, the amazed light in Gao Xianzhi's eyes only lasted for a moment, and soon dimmed.

"The knife is indeed a good knife! However, I am afraid it is not suitable for the battlefield."

Gao Xianzhi quickly looked away from "Mo Dao", and said with some regret.

"oh?"

Wang Chong smiled slightly, took a sip of the fragrant tea from the table, and then looked at Gao Xianzhi opposite, as if he had already expected his reaction:

"Master Duhu thinks that the blade, blade, and back of this kind of sword are too long. Although it is easy to use force, it is easy to break?"

"good!"

Gao Xianzhi didn't deny it, and said with half regret:

"We have thought about this kind of sword before, and even a little further, there are not many people who want to cast this kind of large sword. But basically they all failed. The so-called rigid and easy to break, the sword is designed to be three or four feet long. , was originally designed to avoid breaking. This knife is close to eight feet. I am afraid that in actual combat, if you persist in less than ten slashes, it will immediately break in two. In a fierce battlefield, if the sword suddenly breaks I don’t need to tell you what folding means, you should understand.”

After talking about it, Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but sigh deeply. Wang Chong's idea is very good, but it is not practical at all. Ideal and reality are completely different. This kind of knife... can only stay in the ideal!

"Hahaha, my lord, since I designed this Mo Dao, I naturally took this into consideration. Since the Lord Protector thinks it will break, why don't you try and snap it into two pieces?"

Wang Chong smiled and said, with an extremely confident expression.

"oh?"

Gao Xianzhi was stunned, his eyes full of surprise. But soon, he came back to his senses. The long knife is easy to break, which is a difficult problem that cannot be solved for a thousand years. How can it be so easy to solve? But Gao Xianzhi didn't say much, the facts speak louder than words, Wang Chong's saber is really not practical, one can tell it.

"Ding!"

Without looking back, Gao Xianzhi stretched out a finger, slammed it four feet away from Mo Dao's blade, and flicked it lightly. In an instant, clang, a thunderous metal roar suddenly came from the blade, spreading across the entire study room. reverberate.

The next moment, Gao Xianzhi, who was originally careless, suddenly changed his face. Although he just flicked his finger casually, but with Gao Xianzhi's strength at the level of a top imperial general, this finger is enough to weigh a thousand catties. This kind of strength is already equivalent to Xuanwu. The strong hit hard. Gao Xianzhi originally thought that with the length of the knife and the part where the finger bounces is the most fragile on the knife and the easiest to break, this Mo knife should be easily broken by the finger, but the final result was completely unexpected. than he expected.

"boom!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Xianzhi thought, and popped out his finger again, but this time, Gao Xianzhi's expression was much more serious, and the force on his finger was also many times stronger than before. This kind of force is enough to break many swords. , let alone this Mo Dao.

However, at the next moment, there was a metallic roar, clang, and the pile of papers and teacups that Wang Chong placed on the table trembled. Even the tea in the cups splashed several feet high and landed on the ceiling of the study. However, when the roar of the metal weakened, the eight-foot-long Mo Dao was still quietly lying there intact in the brocade box.
