Chapter 894 The Second Line of Defense!
Chapter 894
"Buzz!"
Following Wang Chong's order, tens of thousands of craftsmen, like ants, rode in a carriage and quickly rushed to the defense line east of Talas City. The fire was raging, black smoke was billowing, and amidst the ear-splitting roar of steel, a piece of A huge steel city module was quickly knocked into the ground to the east by these craftsmen, and a stream of steel juice poured down, quickly fixing these steel walls to the ground to the east.
——At the beginning, Wang Chong prepared for the city of Talas today for more than two months. All the sword-making families in the entire Middle-earth Divine Continent, including the Jianpu Jianlou, all received Wang Chong's bicycles. Countless steel modules were transported to Wushang day and night, in order to be prepared for today's situation.
Modular construction is completely different from ordinary defense line construction, and its biggest advantage is speed.
Behind the hundreds of thousands of Qixi Capital Guards, there was originally an empty space, but as soon as Wang Chong's order was issued, within a short time, a straight, long, prototype of a steel wall quickly appeared on the ground, A solid line of defense was established for the hundreds of thousands of troops.
Just like how a nine-foot-high steel city was built overnight in Wushang, this kind of miraculous thing can only be achieved in the hands of Wang Chong.
Thick smoke is billowing, and tens of thousands of craftsmen are still pouring water, perfecting this second "steel line of defense", and there is still a while before completion. On the other side, an army of more than 100,000 soldiers quickly mobilized according to Wang Chong's order.
"Hurry up!"
In front of the first steel defense line, Chen Bin was wearing a meteorite iron armor and holding a Uzi steel long sword, and kept giving orders. The entire ballista army, 3,000 ballistas, a total of more than 15,000 people, was clearly divided into two, and the 7,500 people stationed quickly boarded the tall troop carrier and manipulated it. 1,500 ballistas were arranged in three echelons, with 500 people in each team, aiming at the gaps in the 500 steel walls from a high place.
Cavalry charges, these steel walls are the best obstacles and barriers. If the big cannibal wanted to rush over, he could only disperse his formation and follow the gap in the city of steel. And this is where the ballista is most lethal.
While more than 1,500 crossbow carts were rapidly deploying defenses, among the more than 100,000 Qixi troops, a famous infantryman held a large shield and quickly rushed to the first steel defense line, row after row. , column after column, aligning all the gaps. During the whole process, soldiers and horses of Bolu big and small were also mobilized together.
The soldiers and horses of Bolu and Bolu are not as elite as the army of Tang Dynasty. In this era when cavalry ruled the roost, Bolu and Bolu didn't have much sense of presence. But their spearmen and spearmen are extremely elite, and the spears they are equipped with are far more elite than the spearmen of any other force.
This is also the reason why Wang Chong mercenary horses from the big and small Bolu. The spearmen of the big and small Bolu cooperate with the shield soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Hum, the earth trembled. While the soldiers and horses of Bolu and Qixi, as well as the infantry and shield soldiers commanded by Wang Yan, completed their defense, the King of Gangke rode a tall maroon horse and led the fierce Gangke people. , and other mercenaries from the Western Regions took advantage of the trend.
"Everyone obeys the order. Without my order, no one is allowed to retreat. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"
The King of Gangke's eyes were like stars, and Ling Li's eyes flicked across the walls of steel cities to look at the big food army surging like a black tide in front of him. On his left and right, all the Gangke people lined up in a square formation with their bodies straight, each with fierce eyes and fierce fighting spirit. Dashi and Datang, this is a battle between lions and elephants.
In this battle, everyone needs to express their position and make their own choices.
There is no doubt that the Gangke people chose Datang.
"Come on! Even if you die in battle today, you will have no regrets!"
The King of Gunk's eyes were sharp, the big black cloak behind him fluttered, and a strong aura burned on him like a flame.
Looking at Wang Chong's subordinates, the King of Gang Ke belongs to the few strong men in the Saint Martial Realm, and his strength is even higher than the current supernatural general Li Siye.
The king of Gangke is proud. In the Western Regions, he never lowered his head. But now, the well-known King of Gunk lowered his head for Wang Chong.
The once humble Gangke tribe, known as the "dirty wild boar", was finally able to wash away the shame on their bodies and live a dignified life. For helping Datang and Wang Chong, the King of Gangke can only repay him with death!
"Come on! Let's fight..."
The King of Gangk squeezed the Ax of the Primal God fiercely in his hand, and the blood in his whole body boiled.
...
"Boom!"
When the King of Gunk was about to fight to the death, on the other side, an army of hundreds of thousands was mobilized rapidly. Looking down from the sky, in the vast area in front of the city of Talas, hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from Qixi of the Tang Dynasty are like rushing rivers and waters. It looks turbulent, but it is not chaotic. All the teams are parallel. Happens with a certain law.
It was only Wang Chong who could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops in an orderly and rapid manner in a short period of time, without causing any chaos.
When tens of thousands of craftsmen quickly built the second steel wall defense line in the east of the city of Talas, 1,500 ballista teams quickly deployed behind the gap in the second defense line. At the same time, Qixi The Protectorate Army, the Protectorate Army in Annan, and the soldiers and horses dispatched by the court... More than 80% of the entire Qixi reinforcement army was quickly mobilized in the direction where the Tibetans came from Uzbekistan.
Use infantry, spearmen, shield soldiers, and crossbow squads to snipe, block more than 200,000 large food troops, delay time, and buy opportunities for troops from other directions, and then rely on more than 80% of the superior forces to wipe out the east first. The weaker Uzbek Tibetans, and then get rid of their heads, concentrate their forces against the cannibals, and defeat them one by one. This is the strategy Wang Chong formulated in the blink of an eye. This is also the best way to get rid of the enemy.
"Li Siye, come with me."
As the wind howled, Wang Chong turned over and stepped onto the white-hoofed crow. His eyes flashed, and immediately, like a wisp of blue smoke, he passed the second steel defense line and headed towards the plain east of Talas City.
"The army obeys the order, follow me!"
Without saying a word, Li Siye waved his hand, leading five thousand black-scarred iron cavalry, jumped out of the army, and chased in Wang Chong's direction.
The yellow sand was billowing, and the smoke and dust filled the air. In the eyes of countless people, Wang Chong was heading towards the direction where the Tibetans from Uzbek came from.
"grown ups……"
On the high wall of Talas City, several generals of the Anxi Governor's Guard looked at the direction Wang Chong was leaving, each of them worried, and subconsciously looked at Gao Xianzhi, the Anxi Governor's Guard on the northeastern wall.
"It's okay, let him go."
Gao Xianzhi looked at the five thousand black-scarred cavalry, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and said calmly.
"Besides, the person who came this time was his old friend..."
Gao Xianzhi had been in the military for many years, and knew all the forces of all parties like the palm of his hand. As soon as the white yak and black-bottomed battle flag appeared, Gao Xianzhi knew that it was Daqin Ruozan, Wang Chong's old enemy in the southwest. Although they are both the top famous generals in this continent, one is the wise minister of Uzang Ali's royal family, and the other is the governor of Anxi, but Gao Xianzhi has never met Daqin Ruozan.
In contrast, it is more appropriate for Wang Chong to come forward than him.
"Boom!"
Just as Wang Chong galloped out on his horse, the turbulence of the ground in the distance became more and more severe, and gradually reached the extreme. Hum, in the distance, behind the hills, the smoke and dust billowed like a sea of fog. In the sea of fog, thousands of war horses galloped out suddenly. In the faint morning light of the east, they looked like ghosts stepping out of the underworld. generally.
With a strange howl like a baby crying, hundreds of vultures covered the sky and covered the sun, swarming out from behind the army, circling in the sky.
And in the shadow cast by the vultures, in the center of thousands of Uzbekistan cavalry, a battle flag with white yak and black background fluttered in the wind. Under the black battle flag, an elegant figure in green robe slowly climbed to the top of the hill.
"Buzz!"
Seeing tens of thousands of furnaces spewing thick smoke and flames in front of Talas City, as well as densely packed, tens of thousands of busy craftsmen, and a rapidly forming steel defense line, everyone's expressions changed. When everyone rushed to the distance of 18 miles from Talas City, the Tang people should not have the slightest preparation, but when they arrived near Talas City, the Tang people actually built a defense line of steel walls at an unimaginable speed.
With such a short distance and such a short period of time, a Great Wall of Steel was conjured out of thin air, which made all the Tibetans in Wusi startled and unprepared.
"Great Prime Minister!"
Pairs of eyes turned to Daqin Ruozan in the middle, waiting for Daqin Ruozan's decision.
The iron cavalry army ran thousands of miles in order to catch the opponent off guard and successfully attack the opponent, but now, the opponent was already prepared, and all the advantages were gone.
"Prime Minister, what should we do now? His deployment speed is too fast, and the construction speed of those steel cities seems to be faster than before."
At this moment, a tall figure walked over from behind, with a clatter of horseshoes, and glanced at Wang Chong who was slowly approaching in the distance, with a trace of worry in his eyes.
Daqin Ruozan didn't speak, but slowly frowned as he looked at the figure on the plain.
He was discovered by Wang Chong at a distance of eighteen miles from the city of Talas, but with the speed of the iron cavalry, when Wang Chong received the news, he had already broken through at least fourteen miles. Coupled with the time for the second confirmation and reaction, when Wang Chong really confirmed their identities, more than 70,000 soldiers and horses had already rushed within ten miles.
At such a short distance, Daqin Ruozan originally thought that when he arrived, at least it would cause a wave of chaos in Wang Chong's army, but everything in front of him was completely opposite to Daqin Ruozan's imagination.
Looking around the world, among the generals that Daqin Ruozan knew, Wang Chong was the only one who could complete the defense change of more than 100,000 troops in such a short period of time.
