Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3247
Ye Qide was furious.

Since entering the Western Regions, although the Arab soldiers under his command are invincible, they have never had a hearty victory.The people of Tang Dynasty were too cunning, they always made detours and guerrilla attacks, avoided the real situation, and retreated repeatedly in the face of the Arab army's front. The Hu people in the Western Regions were not attacked, and they burned, killed, looted and replenished food, fodder and supplies, which made the Hu people in the Western Regions complain and hate the Arabs.

This is very inconsistent with the purpose of this troop dispatch.

The Great Food Kingdom's criss-crossing of Eurasia is not for the purpose of plundering, especially for the silk road that flows with gold. wealth.

However, the slaughter and plunder of the Hu people in the Western Regions made these Hu people hate the Arabs. Even if they defeated the Anxi Army and occupied the Nuo Da Western Regions in the future, these Hu people would definitely not submit loyally to the rule of the Caliph.

What is even more disgusting is that although the Tang people were unable to stop the Arab army's front, they seemed to be retreating all the way, but they never left. Once the Arab army was a little careless, the Tang people would jump up and bite them fiercely, and then hit them Immediately, flee thousands of miles away.

Ye Zide is going crazy!
Although he is not very old, he followed his father Mu'awiyah to conquer all these years, wiped out and slaughtered many tribes who refused to surrender in the Great Food Kingdom, and even fought repeatedly with the Roman Empire army. All come back victorious.

Have you ever encountered such cunning tactics by Tang Ren?

Against the Roman Empire, which once spanned Europe and Asia, the two sides agreed to line up at a low point and fight with real swords and guns.

However, when fighting against the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, people were completely unable to use their strength. It was like hitting cotton with punches and punches, without any force, and occasionally rebounding damage...

Think about your ambitions when you went to the Western Regions, and then think about the high expectations of your father in Damascus. I hope that I can lead hundreds of thousands of Arab warriors to conquer the Western Regions. Succeeding as caliphate from his father...Yezid was on fire for a while.

He immediately gathered tens of thousands of cavalry, regardless of the obstruction of the generals around him, he personally raised his sword and went into battle, leading the cavalry to chase along the retreating direction of Anxi's army.

The Arabs have always claimed to be the messengers of God and defended the truth with bravery. How could they allow the Tang people to escape safely after such a despicable raid?
At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, but the heavy snow was still falling continuously, and the sky and the earth were confused, and it was difficult to distinguish the road.However, the traces left by the five thousand Anxi army's retreat will not be covered by the wind and snow for a while, and Ye Qide led the army to follow them all the way.

But he is not a fool, the Western Region is vast, but there are many mountains, hills and rivers, and ambushes can be set up everywhere. If he goes all the way recklessly, wouldn't he be doomed if he plunged into the encirclement of the Tang army?
It is also difficult for the scouts to be effective in such weather. If you are far away, you can't see the details of the enemy army clearly. If you are far away, it is difficult to send the news back to the central army in time, so Ye Qide chased after him for a while and let go. Slow down, tens of thousands of cavalry spread out in the snow, divided into several roads and marched side by side, and they could not meet each other within a few miles, expanding the search area, and if something happened, they could quickly reinforce each other, and beware of being defeated one by one by the Tang army's ambush.

However, until noon, the whole army was hungry, but there was still no trace of Tang Jun.

Ye Qide secretly wondered, Tang Ren is too cowardly, isn't he?Is it really a one-hit hit, running thousands of miles away, not even laying an ambush?

"Big guy!"

The scouts scattered in the front came back in the wind and snow, and came to Ye Qide to report: "Fifty miles ahead is Gongyue City. The forward consulted the commander, whether to stop the pursuit?"

"what?"

Ye Zide was a little confused, and hurriedly asked: "Have you found any traces of Anxi's army?"

The scout shook his head and said, "I haven't found it. Gongyue City is very quiet, and no soldiers have been found around it."

Ye Qide couldn't believe it: "Where did the Anxi army who attacked our camp go? We followed the trail all the way, can they still fly into the sky and escape from the ground?"

Although the wind and snow were raging, the traces on the ground could be covered up in the blink of an eye, but the traces after thousands of people and horses passed were very obvious, and it was by no means that they could be buried in a moment.Furthermore, the traces of the enemy retreating all the way are very obvious, and the messy horseshoe prints are clear. How can the people of Tang learn witchcraft and get into this snow...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and an idea popped up irresistibly. Ye Zide himself was startled by himself, and suddenly raised the scimitar in his hand, shouting: "Retreat, retreat!"

The generals around him didn't know what was going on, but Ye Qide's position was aloof, they didn't dare to disobey the order, and quickly issued the order to retreat, the front line changed to the back line, and the back line changed to the front line. There was a sudden chaos, and even many soldiers fell from their horses, screaming and crying.

The formation was in disarray.

At this moment, Ye Qide suddenly heard a dull sound in his ears, as if his heart was clenched tightly, and then the soldiers around him exclaimed, Ye Qide raised his head, and saw the hill on the left After that, a dark cloud rose into the sky, covering the sky and covering the sky towards him.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Tang Nu, it's Tang Nu, get off your horse and dodge!"

The entire army was in a panic, and everyone knew that it was a crossbow arrow shot by Tang Jun.After fighting so many battles, the Arab soldiers naturally knew how powerful the Tang crossbow was. Unlike the cast iron arrow clusters popular in Dashi, the arrow clusters of the Tang crossbow were all made of fine steel. It is better than the longbow of Dashi Kingdom.

The thrust is greater, and the arrow clusters are sharper, which can easily pierce through the leather armor of the big man-eating man. The ordinary military uniform is like torn catkins, vulnerable to a single blow.

Therefore, when the Arab soldiers confronted the Anxi army, apart from the Tang army's firearms, the most feared thing was the Tang crossbow.

Once the body is pierced, even if it fails to hurt the vitals, the symptoms of high fever and festering wounds will be caused by the slack "iron poison" on the arrow cluster. There is no cure. Wounded and wailed to death.

What's more, because of the long range and strong power, the Tang crossbow is more distasteful than firearms...

Right now, the Tang crossbow, which looks like a dark cloud, flew from behind the hill, almost covering the top of the head. How could the Arab soldiers not run away in panic?
However, in the military formation, the reason for paying attention to orders and prohibitions is not only that unity can exert the greatest combat power, but also that thousands of troops are gathered in one place so that the narrow space between each other does not allow the slightest mistake, otherwise Just like the Dashi army at this moment, soldiers and horses collided in chaos and disorder, and countless people were trampled by fallen horses.

Before the Tang army arrived, the crossbow arrows were still in the air, and the Arab soldiers were already in a mess, trampling on each other.

All of a sudden, crossbow arrows poured down like a torrential rain.

"whoosh whoosh"

The clusters of sharp arrows pierced through the air and shot from the sky in a parabolic arc, piercing hard into the bodies of the Arab soldiers and horses.

"Puff puff"

The dull sound of the arrows plunging into the flesh seems weak, but when the sound is connected together, the panic that erupts is enough to make one's heart tremble.

Soldiers and war horses were like autumn wheat. Under the violent wind and rain, they fell to the ground one by one, with blood gushing out and crying loudly.

Ye Qide's eyes were about to burst, he took off the wooden shield hanging from the saddle to protect his vitals with one hand, and brandished a scimitar in the other hand, urging the horse to run towards the way it came from, shouting: "Retreat! Retreat!"

The crossbowmen of the Tang army hid behind the hills, relying on the salvo of crossbow arrows to expand the damage area and carry out blind strikes, but if the Arab cavalry wanted to kill them, they had to run up the hills first, and then dive down.But it was snowing heavily, and the snow on the hills was knee-deep, how could the horses go up in a while?
He was afraid that he would be killed by round after round of crossbow arrows before reaching the top of the hill.

I can only rely on the speed of the horse, and quickly escape out of the range of the Tang Army's crossbow...

However, more than ten thousand men and horses gather together, and the command fails in chaos. How can they retreat if they want to?The already flustered formation became more and more chaotic, rubbing shoulders and colliding with each other, and the second wave of crossbow arrows above their heads had already struck, and many soldiers even cried out.

When Ye Qide led his personal guards to slash and kill, and managed to stabilize the chaotic situation, and was about to turn his horse's head and retreat towards the way he came, he heard another burst of exclamations around him.

Ye Zide looked up, and immediately gasped.

Rows of Tang Army infantry with full armor and full armor have blocked the way at some point, with long Mo Dao in their hands like a wall, full of murderous aura.

Mo Dao Formation!
