Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3248
The last time Mu'awiyah personally conquered the Western Regions, he was defeated in a hurry, and the turmoil in the rear led to a hasty end to the conquest, and in the end he was hit back by the Tang army, losing face.

This time the army is ready to go, sweeping across the Western Regions with a destructive momentum, invincible to those who stand in their way.And he also suffered a lot when facing the Anxi Army, but it was all thanks to the firearms.Faced with the advantage of the Tang army's firearms, the Arab army failed to find an effective way to resist, and could only use their lives to fill them with their numbers.

However, the Arab army, up and down, completely forgot that the reason why the Tang army was able to run wild in Mobei and the Western Regions back then was the famous "Modao formation" that frightened the barbarians!
From ancient times to the present, the reason why the barbarians and Siyi have repeatedly suppressed the Central Plains people is that they rely on the excellent equestrian skills cultivated from childhood on horseback. In addition, the Central Plains dynasty often lost the land for raising horses, resulting in a shortage of war horses, making it impossible to come and go. The windy barbarians and barbarians competed against each other.

But the "Modao Formation" turned out to be the nemesis of the cavalry.

When the soldiers hold the Mo Dao to meet the formation, they enter like a wall, and the soldiers and horses are all broken!
The Turks who used to be proud of Mobei, and the rebellious Hu people in the Western Regions all lost their souls under the Tang Army's Mo Dao formation. Rolling heads and hot blood stained Tang Jun's Mo Dao, which also made the reputation of Mo Dao Formation spread all over the world. Don't be intimidated.

Arabs have naturally heard of Modaozhen.

Seeing that the Modao formation, which was thought to have disappeared in the sequence of the Tang army, reappeared, how could Ye Qide and all the Arab soldiers not be terrified?

On this trip, Ye Qide brought [-] soldiers to track down the Tang army, all elite cavalry, and it is rumored that the Modao formation is the nemesis of the cavalry...

In addition, the ten thousand cavalry are all on the river channel of the soldiers' front, and the hills on both sides are facing each other. The terrain is narrow and long. He was held back tightly, and the whole army was wiped out before the reinforcements arrived.The way back was blocked by the Modao formation. If he wanted to return to the camp, he could only step on Tang Jun's corpse and cross over.

Ye Qide knew that once the Tang army blocked him here, the Tang army in Gongyue City would definitely come to his rescue. Aggressive, where is there any hope of surviving?
He brandished the scimitar and shouted loudly: "Rush up, rush up!"

When the two armies meet, the brave wins. He only needs to open a gap in the formation of the Tang army, and he can rush out. Care to think about these?

Anyway, I have commanded 20 horses in this expedition to the Western Regions, even if I die a little, there are still many left...

The thousands of cavalry around him gradually stabilized under Ye Qide's scimitar in one hand and shouting in the other, but the formation was still loose, and they rushed towards the Tang army standing in front of them like a wall.

The river is low and the wind gathers, so that the heavy snow is swept and accumulated here by the north wind. Fortunately, the river is still wide, and the snow can only reach the knees of the horses.It's just that the army trampled on the snow when they came, so that the bottom layer was trampled tightly, and another layer of floating snow fell on it, making it even more slippery at first.

The horse turned its head urgently and the horse lacked balance. Just when it wanted to speed up, its hoofs slipped. Many soldiers and horses fell into the snow, and were trampled by the horses from behind. The scene was chaotic and horrible.

At any rate, such a decent charge was organized.

The soldiers of Anxi Army stood awe-inspiring, even though the wind and snow were raging, and snowflakes like goose feathers fluttered between the sky and the earth, they still remained motionless.

The Mo Dao in his hand was clenched tightly in both hands, and the tip of the blade was tilted upwards. Hundreds of thousands of diseased Mo Dao shone coldly in the wind and snow. Looking from a distance, it looked like a forest of swords.

The Arab soldiers mobilized their horses, charged on the ice and snow while trying to maintain their balance, gritted their teeth and rushed towards the row of knives.They all knew that there was no way forward and no way back at this moment. If Tang Jun's formation could not be dispersed, everyone would be slaughtered here.

The more critical it was, the more it aroused the brutal and tyrannical disposition in the blood of the Arab soldiers. As they got closer to the Tang army, they gritted their teeth and bent over their horses, holding the reins in one hand and the knife in the other, uttering mournful shouts. , ignoring that Pao Ze, who slipped and fell to the ground halfway, was trampled into a pulp by his own horse, and charged forward frantically.

"Boom!"

When hundreds of crossbows fired in volley, the bowstrings made a dull sound. Hundreds of crossbow arrows gathered in one place like a dark cloud rising behind the hills, and then across the snowflake-flying void, piercing fiercely into the Arabian sky from top to bottom. Human cavalry array.

The running cavalry fell to the ground like felled wheat.

It's just that the Arab soldiers were also completely inspired, regardless of their own casualties, they only knew to charge blindly, charge!
After three rounds of crossbow arrows, the corpses of the people and horses shot by the arrows were scattered all over the ground. The hot blood melted the ice and snow with steam, and then gradually cooled down.

The Arab cavalry rushed to the Tang army's Modao formation with [-] pieces.

With such a short distance, even though the snowflakes are raging in the sky, both parties can clearly see each other's face, as well as the white air that comes out of the mouth and nose when breathing.

Can be heard.

The crossbow has lost its effect, otherwise it would be very easy to cover the position of his own Modao formation.

A black dot suddenly flew out from the back of the Modao formation, leaped a certain distance in the air, and happened to land at the feet of the Arab cavalry who were about to rush forward.

"Boom boom boom!"

After a series of violent explosions, the Thunderbolt released huge energy after it landed and exploded, blasting the ice and snow on the ground into the sky, and throwing countless fragments in all directions along with the fragments formed after the shattering of its own projectile body, unstoppably destroying everything in front of it. object.

"what!"

"Herod!"

The Arab soldiers were either blown upside down, or their bodies were pierced by the splashing debris, and they let out extremely shrill howls and screams, and the charge was immediately frustrated.

In the end, less than three or four out of ten rushed to the Tang army before the battle. Even so, the reason why the cavalry was called the king of war in this era was its super mobility, and the huge kinetic energy when charging made the lethality crazy bonus.

Countless war horses whizzed towards Tang Jun's formation with a bang, wrapped in ice foam and snowflakes for a long time.

"Raise the knife!"

Among the Tang army formation, the captain hissed and shouted.

Hearing the words, the soldiers in formation squatted down and tied their horses in unison, and raised the Mo Dao in their hands. The sharp blade affected the enemy cavalry rushing forward.

Anyone who can be like the Mo Dao Formation must be eight feet long, with a hulking waist, and his strength must reach an extremely high level.In the Mo Dao formation, there are all warriors who can count as ten. They are brave, fierce, and powerful, and there is absolutely no one who is just pretending to be a number.

Such a warrior is wearing heavy armor, and the Mo knife in his hand is made of pure steel weighing more than [-] catties. The broad back of the knife is thick and the iron is as thick as mud, and more than a thousand people form an array. How powerful is that?

The Arab cavalry urged their horses to slam into the Tang army's Mo Dao formation, just like hitting a wall full of blades. The powerful kinetic energy made the Mo Dao sharper, and it easily cut through the bodies of the Arab soldiers and war horses. The kinetic energy carried by the horse's charge was greatly weakened, and it was resisted by the strong and well-trained soldiers of the Tang army.

"cut!"

There was another loud shout in the formation, more than a thousand people held their knives in both hands, first dragged them fiercely from top to bottom, splitting the people and horses in front of them, and then swung the knives, Mo Dao held high above their heads, and slashed down fiercely.

The thick and heavy Mo Dao slashed into the body of the enemy in front of him, and the sharp blade easily cut it into two pieces. For a moment, blood gushed out and the stumps flew across.
The billowing blood splattered everywhere, melting the ice and snow under Tang Jun's feet in an instant, emitting white gas.

The Arabian cavalry charged forward, although the robes at the front were shattered under the knife, the ones behind still rushed forward continuously.

The Tang army was not afraid, and the strict formation made the soldiers support each other, and the spearmen behind them protruded their spears from the gap where their bodies leaned against each other to block the cavalry. The heavy armor protects the body from damage very well, and the Mo Dao in his hand is erected, cut down, and dragged horizontally...

Repeating and repeating is just such a move, but elite soldiers paired with unparalleled sharp weapons are the worst nightmare for cavalry.

The place where the two armies joined the battle was piled up with blood and stumps. The fierce aura of the Arab soldiers suddenly stagnated, and a boundless fear rose from the bottom of their hearts irresistibly.

No one is not afraid of death.

Especially for the Arab soldiers who lack combat skills and only rely on faith and greed to support the army, the morale of the Arab soldiers will inevitably collapse when the Tang army in front of them is like a huge millstone constantly harvesting the lives of robes. up.

Even Ye Qide, who was in the formation, looked at the soldiers of the Tang army who were soaked in blood like hell demon gods, and at the Modao formation that reaped the lives of Arab soldiers unscrupulously with the flickering cold light, a bone-piercing coldness rose from his crotch .
