Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2460 Flesh Mill

The officers were shot one by one, and the Arabs finally noticed the clues. The rest of the officers quickly took off the iron helmets on their heads, and then pulled off the cloaks on the soldiers to cover their bodies to block the armor, and let the soldiers surround themselves to serve as bunker……

This trick really worked, and the crossbowmen of the Tang army found it difficult to find officers among the densely packed enemy troops.

Seeing the enemy approaching continuously, Gao Zhenxing said helplessly: "Get ready to fight!"

The soldiers' hearts trembled, and they all held the weapons in their hands tightly, knowing that the last moment was coming.

On one side is a rushing and roaring river, the current is too fast to swim, and on the other side is a steep mountain wall, which is impossible to climb. They seem to be guarding the only way out between heaven and earth, even though the number of people on both sides is extremely different. But there is still a kind of momentum that one man is in charge of the other.

Behind them is Pao Ze, who is rushing towards Gongyue City to report the news. They must stick to this place, at least to allow sufficient time for Pao Ze to arrive at Gongyue City first, and notify the army to prepare, so they regard death as home, and have nothing to do. fear.

Geographical advantages, people and harmony are all on the side of the Tang army.

The closest enemy could already see the bushy beard and ferocious face clearly, and the roar filled his eardrums, and Gao Zhenxing roared: "Shoot!"

The raindrops of crossbow arrows generally poured down on the enemy array.

Bows and crossbows can only attack from a distance, not close combat. Everyone knows that once the two armies engage in battle, it will be the last moment, and there will be no chance of killing the enemy from a long distance, so they all gritted their teeth and fired all the crossbows with one arrow. One fires out.

No matter before or after the appearance of firearms, the bows and crossbows of the Han people have always been unique in the world.

This is not only because of cash's iron smelting technology that makes the arrow clusters sharper, but also because of the unique manufacturing technology of bows and crossbows, which makes the bows and crossbows equipped by the Han army more lethal and has a longer shooting distance.

The crossbow arrows flew through the air and made a sharp and short sound. The Arab soldiers raised their round shields to block, but found that the round shields covered with iron sheets that could protect the body in the past were like paper. The clusters of arrows pierced through, and then ruthlessly pierced into the body, and even the momentum was not exhausted, stringing the soldiers behind them together...

The Arab soldiers who rushed to the forefront fell down in pieces like autumn wheat.

However, there were too many Arabs. The soldiers in the front were shot, and the soldiers in the back continued to attack the top of the mountain stepping on the corpse of Pao Ze.

Gao Zhenxing shouted, "Spur the horse!"

"Here!"

The soldier behind gritted his teeth and had red eyes. He tore off the cloth strips from his body to cover the horse's eyes, and then stabbed the knife into the rear of the horse beside him with his backhand. Generally rushing from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

Dozens of war horses galloped wildly, their power was like thunder, they couldn't see anything, they just kept running forward, and slammed into the array of Arab soldiers in just a few breaths.

boom!
The Arab soldiers hastily raised their blades to kill the horses. However, although the blades pierced the horses, the huge kinetic energy from the condescending rush was still unstoppable. The horses hissed miserably and continued to move forward until they were exhausted and exhausted before rolling over. fell to the ground.

The array that the Arabs had just gathered was once again smashed to pieces. The huge body of the war horse and the kinetic energy it carried were really touching death. Countless Arab soldiers had broken bones, broken tendons, spewed blood, and were trampled on. The impact killed hundreds.

Tang Jun on the top of the mountain had red eyes.

For soldiers, war horses are their intimate robes. They help soldiers kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, and they also help soldiers save their lives on the battlefield. If it weren't for the current desperate situation, who would have the heart to send their war horses into the enemy's line to die in battle?

Seeing that the Arabs at the foot of the mountain gradually calmed down from the chaos and gathered again, Gao Zhenxing ordered: "Form the formation!"

"Here!"

The soldiers behind him suddenly agreed.

More than forty soldiers stepped forward one after another. They did not have the large shields normally equipped by the army, but only small shields made of fine iron. More than a dozen soldiers squatted at the front holding the double shields, using their bodies against the shields to defend against the enemy's impact.Rare spears protruded from the gaps in the shields, killing and wounding the enemies who came up, while the rest of the people held horizontal knives and stood ready.

It stands to reason that such an array cannot withstand the impact of a large-scale army. There is no large shield defense, and there are not enough spears to assassinate the enemy from a long distance. However, the enemies they face also lack the weapons to attack and destroy.They were just the vanguard of the Arab army. Judging from the equipment of one man with two horses or even three horses, it must be that the horses in the army were temporarily gathered for these soldiers to ride, so as to chase the retreating Tang army.

They only have small shields wrapped in iron sheets, and the scimitars in their hands are not only not as sharp as the horizontal blades, but also short and lack of lethality. It is true that the cavalry is a handy weapon when they charge, but the terrain here is steep and rocky. The strength is a little stretched.

……

Tang Jun is ready.

The Arabs at the foot of the mountain rushed to the top of the mountain, shouting babbling words, and stormed towards the formation of the Tang army.

The war broke out in an instant!

The Arab soldiers who rushed to the front were very brave. They ignored the spears protruding from the gap between the shields, just gritted their teeth, stared and shouted, and rushed to kill!

The spear pierced through their bodies in an instant, but still brandishing the scimitar in his hand and trying to kill Tang Jun behind the shield, he was instantly cut into two by a sharp horizontal knife.

Blood gushes out, and food limbs splatter.

The Arab soldiers didn't care about their own lives and rushed upwards like crazy. The soldiers of the Tang army behind the shields gritted their teeth and pressed against the shields so as not to be scattered by the enemy. Dao Guang reaped the lives of the Arabs unscrupulously.

Thousands of Arab soldiers frantically launched an attack, but this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not only is the terrain steep and not conducive to charging, but also there is a roaring river on one side that cannot be swam, and on the other side is an almost straight mountain wall. The gap was guarded by the Tang army, and no amount of troops could spread out to exert greater combat power. They could only step on the corpse of Pao Ze and squeeze into the limited space...

The Arabs did not expect the Tang army to be so brave and fearless, daring to seek their own death to block the mountain pass, and they did not expect that although the Tang army was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, their equipment was much better than theirs!
Their scimitars slashed on Tang Jun's armor, and they could only burst out a ball of sparks, but they couldn't hurt Tang Jun's body. However, Tang Jun's horizontal knives slashed on them, whether it was leather armor, Zhajia, or The chain armors all pass through flat, like cutting the catkins, easily cutting them to pieces...

The Arabs who used to run rampant in the world are proud in their hearts. They think that as long as they can occupy the Western Regions and cross the Congling Mountains, the distant and rich Eastern land will tremble under their iron hoofs, conquer it and spread the faith of the Prophet all over the world. On that piece of land, it is naturally a breeze.

Even the once dominant Persian dynasty was wiped out under their iron cavalry scimitars. What's the point of mere Han people?

Although facing the sudden increase in casualties at this moment, instead of frightening the Arabs, it inspired their pride and blood!
They shouted slogans that Tang Jun could not understand, and each of them charged forward with red eyes and fearless death, trying to use wheel tactics to completely drag down and destroy Tang Jun guarding the mountain pass.

The mountain pass at this moment is like a huge stone mill. The sturdy shields and sharp horizontal knives are like a millstone. Countless Arab soldiers charge bravely, but all of them are bleeding head and limbs before this millstone. Grind into the millstone, cut, squeeze, and break.

Remnants of limbs and organs were piled up on the mountain pass, and the two sides were constantly moving their positions. In order to prevent the opponent from stepping on the corpse and occupying a higher height to dive down, Tang Jun retreated slowly while beheading.

The light of the knife is like a horse, and the blood gushes out like a spring.

The red-eyed Arabs went forward one after another. They stepped on the corpse of Pao Ze and the pool of blood, and kept charging with red eyes, but they couldn't break through the Tang army's formation after all.

The rock-like Tang people guarded the mountain pass tightly, each of them was covered in blood and even covered with minced meat and organs, but they blocked the Arabs like death.

The two sides started a life-and-death fight within this narrow mountain pass, and the screams of killing were earth-shattering. It was originally a beautiful and peaceful scene in the world, but now it is like hell. Red with blood.
