#1056 Unprecedented War (1)
Chapter 1056
"kill!"
In all directions, countless knives and axes were densely packed, flashing bursts of cold light under the sky, and at the same time they continued to fall at an alarming speed. Faced with such an astonishing reaction and tacit cooperation, even Red Moon Pioneer, who performed the bloody leap, couldn't help but slightly changed his face.
As the vanguard under Qudibo, the God of War, they have encountered many powerful opponents, but no matter how powerful they are, they can often cause considerable chaos in the opponent's army formation and create opportunities for the army behind. . But these Tang people from the east are completely different from any opponents they have encountered before.
Although the war horse rushed through the defense line, it was surrounded in less than a second and could not exert its charging power. I had never even thought about this situation, let alone encountered it.
Clang, clang, swords, lights and swords, heavy ax marks, just in an instant, the Red Moon Pioneer who rushed into the army was fighting with a dozen sword and ax soldiers. The scarlet scimitar cut sharp bloodstains in the void, and struck heavily with the surrounding knives and axes. Amidst the ear-piercing sound of gold and iron, a huge knife and ax was touched by the red moon scimitar, and huge gaps were cut on the blade immediately, even the heavy armor on the knife and axe was split, blood cascading splash.
Under the attack of the red moon scimitar, several swordsmen retreated directly with serious injuries. However, the Red Moon Pioneers also fell to the ground and died under the attack of the crowd.
Seeing this scene, Qudibo, the war governor who looked like a god, couldn't help but frowned slightly, wearing a golden battle armor under the burning hellfire battle flag, but he didn't say anything. At the same time, Wang Chong's eyes also twitched in a place far away from each other.
He did not intervene in this contact war, but has been observing. This army in the northern theater of the Great Food is even more powerful than he imagined. Their attacks, defense-breaking capabilities, and ferocity have all reached astonishing levels. There is no doubt that this will be the biggest test Datang faces.
"My lord, do you need to send the Modao team?"
A voice came from next to his ears. Xi Yuanqing, the number three figure in the Anxi Protectorate Army, stopped beside Wang Chong on horseback, and suddenly spoke. The big cannibal's attacks came one after another, like a tide, and they were extremely fierce. The Red Moon Pioneer was just a microcosm of it, which made everyone, including Cheng Qianli and Xi Yuanqing, feel a huge shock. pressure.
This situation was not present in the first phase of the battle.
"Need not!"
Wang Chong shook his head, his eyes were as calm as water, without any fluctuation:
"It's not yet time to use the Modao Squad,
Inform the big and small Bolu's army, as well as the front column, to prepare to shoot! In addition, inform the shield soldiers of the second column to be ready to step forward and replace them at any time, and the shield soldiers of the third column are on standby at any time! Rigid but easy to break, the big cannibals are coming with momentum, and now is their most powerful and sharpest time. At this time, it is mainly to consume their vigor, and it is not appropriate to have too many large-scale battles with them! "
"yes!"
A look of respect flashed in Xi Yuanqing's eyes, and he quickly took the order and left. After defeating Dashi's giant beast army, Wang Chong's reputation in the Anxi Protectorate Army is now at the height of the sky, not at all inferior to Gao Xianzhi. From top to bottom in the Anxi Protectorate Army, even Gao Xianzhi, who is the Great Protector, respects him Incomparable, let alone others.
The air was surging and the wind was howling. Wang Chong looked at the endless sea of cannibals opposite him, and his eyes fluctuated slightly.
The way of the art of war is not only a change in battlefield tactics, but also a change in strategy.
The number of big man-eating troops is really too much. Sometimes it is not only the quality, but when the number reaches a certain level, it can also bring great pressure to people. Moreover, the big cannibals marched all the way day and night, coming with momentum, it is the time when the momentum is at its peak. At this time, it is not appropriate to confront them tit for tat, but to focus on stalemate and take the initiative to defend. The vigor is worn down to the lowest level, "one vigorous effort, then decline, and three exhaustion", this is the truth!
Wang Chong mobilized elite soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate Army to form the third column of shield soldiers, which was established to implement this strategy.
"Buzz!"
As soon as his eyes moved, Wang Chong quickly came back to his senses and looked forward. The armor shook and roared, and Wang Chong's order was quickly carried out.
"put!"
With an earth-shattering sound, just in front of the army, a group of infantrymen stood upright and suddenly pulled the mechanism on the city wall. Boom, at the moment of pulling, the earth roared and the air roared sharply. The seemingly ordinary steel wall that was only used for defense suddenly revealed countless holes, and hundreds of thousands of arrows suddenly shot from the first After a steel line of defense, it shot out violently.
beehive!
Although the wall had long been equipped with this kind of intensive shooting weapon, Wang Chong hadn't used it until the big cannibal hit the city wall before it suddenly exploded.
The big cannibals are different from any previous opponents. Their forging skills are stronger than any previous opponents. In some respects, the level of steel precision forging even exceeds that of Datang.
The range of the beehive is short, far less than that of the crossbow, and the farther the distance is, the less powerful it is. That's why Wang Chong learned a lesson. When the cannibal charged, he didn't use any beehives at all. Until Dashi and Datang meet hand-to-hand, in front of the first long steel defense line, there are all big cannibals like mountains and seas. They almost touch the faces of the beehives on the steel city wall without the slightest gap. It was when the beehive was at its most powerful, and it was only at this time that Wang Chong used the king of short-range weapons.
bang bang bang!
In just a blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of arrows immediately hit the frontmost Dashi soldiers and horses crazily. Each horse received at least forty or fifty intensive shots from crossbows. With such a short distance, even iron and stone can shoot away, let alone war horses.
Xi Yuyu, in just a split second, there was an endless sound of bangs and horses falling to the ground, and in front of the entire steel wall, pieces of big food cavalry fell to the ground in unison. In less than a few breaths, the cannibal corpses in front of the steel wall piled up like a mountain, and the blood soaked the entire earth.
"boom!"
Seeing this scene, the crowd behind the Dashi army was in an uproar. When hundreds of thousands of arrows roared out, everyone was stunned.
"This, how is this possible?"
"How could the East have such a terrifying weapon!"
"It's incredible, what the hell is that!"
...
All the Dashi troops who were rushing in the rear were shocked one by one. The appearance of that weapon was so sudden that no one had ever encountered such a weapon. This kind of oriental crossbow shot from the steel wall is so exquisite that it surpasses imagination. For the first time, these proud and conceited warriors of the food industry felt a strong sense of mystery.
Although Dashi's forging technology is very superb, he has never forged such a powerful and lethal weapon.
During this Eastern Expedition, the Dashi soldiers transferred from other theaters originally looked down upon the so-called Eastern World, the so-called Great Tang, and had a condescending mentality. The arrogance also dissipated. No matter what the truth about these Tang people is, at least one thing is certain
These "Tang people" from Talas are definitely a formidable enemy and should not be underestimated.
"How is it possible, Abu Muslim/Lin, why didn't your previous intelligence mention this?"
With the black Nile Battle flag flying high, Cairo Governor Osman finally couldn't help saying.
Abu Muslim/Lin did not speak, but Ziyad next to him showed a slightly embarrassed look. In fact, all the information about Datang had been told to them in the previous letter, but whether it was Osman, Aybek, or Qu Dibo, because he was too conceited or arrogant, didn't look carefully.
After all, these governors have never fought Datang, no matter how detailed they are in the letter, it is always not as real as their personal experience.
On the other side, seeing the reactions of the two, Osman was startled for a moment, but quickly realized that he was speechless.
"No matter how powerful a weapon is, it can't replace the role of soldiers. It's just that there are only 60,000 soldiers and horses. If you send more troops to overwhelm them, I don't believe they can make more waves."
A voice came from behind, and Ayibek spoke.
Dashi has never been a country that cherishes the lives of soldiers. As long as it can achieve its goal and conquer these Tang people, even if a few more soldiers die, it is not a big deal. Whether it is Aybek, Osman, or Abu Muslim/Lin, they are not the kind of generals who love soldiers like sons, which is completely different from Middle Earth.
The Battle of Khorasan, conquering the remnants of the Sasanian Dynasty, Dashi paid a huge price, but the three coaches at that time did not hesitate at all. The three of them didn't even frown.
"kill!"
Aybek's order was quickly carried out, and the four coaches did not hesitate, and the vast Dashi army roared and pressed on again. More soldiers rushed towards the first steel line of defense like water flooding a golden mountain.
Rumbling, the earth trembled and the mountains shook, and the sky-shaking shouts and killings surged, becoming the only sound in the sky above Talas. Although the power of the beehive is extremely terrifying, for the Dashi army with more than 400,000 soldiers, this kind of lethality is far from reaching the point where it matters.
Bang bang, countless Dashi soldiers rushed up against the attack of the beehive, and more than that, among the soldiers and horses of Dashi, groups of cavalry responded quickly.
There was a loud bang, and the corpses of a large cannibal who had been shot to death on the ground were suddenly picked up by the cavalry behind and smashed hard on the spikes of the steel wall.
One, two, three, four... Countless corpses were smashed heavily on the steel wall at the same time to block the beehive's attack. The corpses of these soldiers and the armor on them became another invisible "shield" at this time, and became a means of fighting against the beehives.
