Chapter 0643. Drawbacks, a rain of arrows colliding

The wooden frame that was carried on the cattle was quickly built into a command vehicle under the busy work of the craftsmen in the army. [This site has a new URL, shorthand method:,.]. The update is so fast.

Unlike the 'Bo' infantry and the Byzantine infantry, almost everyone in the Tang infantry had horses, and the vast grasslands of Punjab and the vast Gobi of the Deccan Plateau after the capture of Tianzhu were all excellent military horse farms, and the interests of the upper class of the Fujian State were no longer the traditional land but inclined to industry and commerce, and the immigrants came to own all the harvest of the fields, and the soldiers of the Fujian State could afford to raise a few war horses.

There are also stronger porters in the Fujian Kingdom to carry heavy loads, so even during the march, the Tang army still carries several times as many instruments, tools and provisions.

However, climbed into the command car and led the ministers to look at the Arab army in the distance with binoculars, from Li Jie, the king of Fujian, to Wang Xuance, the king of Fengge, to Xue Qing, the most warlike general in Guanzhong, the veteran Dugu Cheng frowned.

If he could, Li Jie would not be willing to set up the battlefield here anyway, the terrain was flat and there was not even a cover, it was simply a paradise for cavalry, but unfortunately, the choice of the battlefield was not in his hands, no matter where the decisive battle was, Li Jie needed to admit it.

The second surprise is that Li Jie didn't expect that there were so many enemies, and choosing this time to make a move was to run for the discord of a sect in the Arab Empire.

"Looks like we've done Mu'awiya a great favor by accident." Putting down the binoculars, Li Jie shrugged his shoulders helplessly and joked with the ministers, and then knocked on the handrail in front of him and said: "Pass the order, the whole army will defend and build fortifications on the spot, and the generals will be sent to the front line, everyone, the hegemony of our Fujian State in West Asia, and whether our descendants can enjoy peace and not live under the shadow of the Arabs, it all depends on this battle!"

Seeing Li Jie turn around and pat the railing and solemnly order, hundreds of generals of all sizes also knelt down on one knee under the command platform, and replied in unison: "The ministers should kill the enemy to protect my Fujian country, Your Highness can rest assured!"

"Good!"

According to Li Jing's "Li Weigong's Law of War", 12,500 people are an army, with one general, 800 to 1,200 people as a government, and one lieutenant.

Just when Mu'awiya looked at the Fujian army that was like an iron plate and didn't know where to start, a shallow ravine had been dug out in front of the Fujian position, and the caliph who was on the top of the military force grinned disgustingly, and without thinking about it, he ordered the generals behind him: "Yismatai, lead your army to rush first, and give the Tang pagans a little 'color'!"

"Yes!"

In the loud answer, a fat Arab warrior wearing gorgeous chain mail came out of the crowd, went to the front of the army on horseback, and after a few shouts, thousands of 'elite' Arab cavalry also equipped with chain mail followed behind him, shouting and rushing towards the busy army of the Chinese and Fujian countries.

Esmatai was born one of the nobles of Mecca, and followed the Umayyad family with the strange Muhammad Islam, and was also a descendant of the Umayyad family.

As soon as the Caliph went to war, he used his lineage, and you still dare to hide it?

However, the rest of the chiefs, the governors did not think of so much, all gathered 'essence' to look at the battlefield, the Tang people came violently, although they did not occupy the surrounding cities, they still drove many people out of the original land, and now they are eager to defeat the Min * team and drive it out, and some political Xiao Jiujiu has been left behind.

Under the gaze of these Arab magnates, Yismatai led his cavalry to kill the huge army of Fujian with great momentum.

Although Yisi Matai is big, he is not stupid, and he led the cavalry of the headquarters to not go straight to the Guanning iron cavalry of the arrows of the Fujian State, but ran diagonally along the right side of the middle and rear of the military formation to kill the past, where the cavalry passed, the busy sappers of the Fujian State really dropped their tools and fled backwards in a panic, and even the seemingly rigorous military formation of the Fujian State shook, seeing this scene, the upper echelons of Arabia were 'revealed' with a smile, and Muawiya was also very proud.

The panic of the Tang people further fueled the arrogance of Yismatai, and he saw the place where the formation shook the most, and the Mecca warrior took the lead, shouting that Allah would lead the cavalry to charge, and the Muhammad tattoo on the Damascus scimitar shone with a strange brilliance in the scorching sun, and the opposite Fujian * array was even more 'swinging'.

"The caliph said, these Tang people are just the same as the Byzantines, and they are useless!" Full of pride, Muawiye said with a slap in his beard, but before he could show off, Min Guo's reaction was like a slap in the face.

Indeed, the military formation of the Fujian State is shaking, but it is not the military heart is shaking, but it is preparing to meet the battle, although riding on a camel is a piece high, but the Arabs are not high enough to see the huge battlefield at a glance, they naturally did not see, wrapped in the extension of the government soldiers, is a ballista pulled by horses.

"Put!" With the order of the crossbow commander, the sergeant smashed the hammer on the trigger, and in the five arrow slots, the two-meter-long crossbow arrows immediately roared out, and the twenty 'bed' crossbows with more than 100 long arrows fanned out of an encirclement, and the Arab Arab cavalry that was running wildly at the forefront immediately suffered a devastating 'sexual' blow.

There was a fierce palpitation in his heart, and the battlefield consciousness of how many bloody battles he had experienced made him subconsciously lean back, buzzing twice, and two crossbow arrows 'inserted' into his cheeks to draw two blood marks, which immediately pierced into the waist ribs of the two family guards beside him, and the 'fine' chain mail was like paper paste, and it really didn't hum The two of them flew sideways with the crossbow arrows and iron arrows.

Without waiting for Yisi Matai to breathe a sigh of relief, his good luck also came to an end, another crossbow arrow 'shot' low, along his left 'leg' slammed into the body of the war horse, and then from the right 'leg' 'shot', the next second, with the sound of violent fractures, the whole war horse rolled out.

At a distance of more than 100 meters, the crossbow arrows pierced and 'shot', bringing devastating 'sexual' damage to the 'elite' Sharp Hundred Cavalry at the vanguard of the Arab cavalry, and also causing thousands of cavalry to stop involuntarily.

They stopped, and the three axes of the Tang army had not yet been rounded.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty is so vast is that on the one hand, the people of the era of Hu and Han 'blending' are fierce and heroic, and there are herds of cattle and horses in Guanzhong, and even the infantry have horses to travel, and on the second aspect, the Tang Army's bow and crossbow equipment is extensive enough, according to the "Li Weigong Military Law", almost 12,500 people and an army should be equipped with three-layer crossbows, nine-layer bows, relying on strong bows and crossbows, and the 30,000 Hu and Han troops under the leadership of Gao Xianzhi were stunned to be equal to the more than 150,000 Arab Abbasid light cavalry army. The battle lasted three or four days, and in the end, if it had not been for the betrayal of the Turkic Qarluq tribes, the outcome would not have been known.

According to the travelogue of Sima Du of the Tang Dynasty, who was later captured and returned, more than 70,000 people were killed in the Abbasid Dynasty in World War I, most of them under the bow and crossbow.

Now, the crossbow equipment of the Tang Army of Fujian under the leadership of Li Jie has reached the seventh layer, and the former composite crossbow arm has been replaced with a soft steel crossbow arm and steel wire string.

To be honest, the replacement of steel has not actually brought much improvement to the bow and crossbow in terms of 'sexuality', but it has decreased a little, but compared with the former composite crossbow arm crossbow string, the only benefit is mass production and durability, whether it is the 'wet' Tianzhu or the dry West Asia, the equipment is not greatly affected.

The farthest Qin crossbow can even throw a 'shot' of four hundred meters, and the Tang crossbow that inherited and improved the Qin crossbow is not much worse.

In addition to the thousands of steel crossbows raised, Fujian also has a unique repeater invented by Li Jie, which is installed in the box, two gears drive the track to rotate, pull the crossbow arrow to wind up and open the box above the arrow mouth at the same time, the crossbow arrow falls into the arrow path and then pulls the bowstring to a certain angle, the baffle baffle into the arrow mouth bounces back to block the next arrow, the bowstring encounters the arc cut angle is removed from under the track, and the arrow ' Shoot out, and then be hooked by the other end of the track and pulled back again, this kind of crossbow, the upper arrow is almost fully automatic, as long as the arrow supply is continuous, shaking non-stop, theoretically can be uninterrupted and rapid 'shooting' shot.

The two sharp weapons 'shot' down, for a time it was really a rain of arrows, Fujian's 'refined' steel-making technology, the rapidly rotating three-edged arrow, even the chain mail inlaid with iron pieces could not be stopped.

The Arab cavalry, who had lost their momentum, fell off their horses like dumplings, and Muawiyah's face was 'pale', and he gritted his teeth before roaring loudly, "Blow the trumpet, withdraw the army!" ”

Almost in Arabia's desolate horn just sounded, this cavalry in the rain of arrows hit a few times directly collapsed, one by one the iron cavalry lost their armor and fled in embarrassment, this is not over, more than 100 Fujian cavalry from the lower left corner of the arrow-shaped array, led by a young to young Tang general, chased behind the Arab army and cut off dozens of heads, seeing the young general back with a bloody head, the whole army of Fujian broke out into a shocking cheer.

The Arab army array, the Chinese army, seeing the cavalry desperately snatching back, the blood and flesh of the two big 'legs' were blurred, the body was full of crossbow arrows, and the body of Yismatai was broken in an unknown number of places, Mu'awiyah's face was so cold that he almost lowered the water, and after a moment of clucking teeth, Mu'awiyah frantically pulled out his knife: "Spread the caliph's order, light cavalry rush forward, 'shoot'!" Shoot to death these heretics of the Min kingdom who deserve to go to hell! ”

Seeing Mu'awiyah's rage, the generals and chieftains silently gave orders, and the next moment, the three Arab army formations seemed to be boiling, and countless desert cavalry dragged compound bows to rush forward, facing them, and countless Fujian crossbowmen also pulled down the crossbow strings.

A rain of arrows like a plague of locusts was thrown into the air...... -- 74968 + dsuaahhh + 26624793 -- >
