868 The Battle of Fortitude (Part II)

There are many factors that can change the outcome of a war, pre-war preparation, pre-war ideological guidance, wartime on-the-spot play, a cold arrow, a javelin, a war knife, can change many things, a small butterfly can cause a huge tornado, then there is nothing impossible in this world, of course, this is a matter of probability, whether this probability can be made a favorable factor, that is completely a factor of luck.

Khalid's good fortune came to an end.

The Mo Dao team and the Eight Bull Crossbow team have arrived at the predetermined position, and have seen the huge phalanx in the distance, although the Arabs have risen for a short time, but they have a lot of combat experience, Khalid is a famous general with great achievements and rich experience, and his faith is firm, his will is tenacious, and the will of the main general can influence and shape the will of an army, so even if the army under his command will have a panic for a while, but soon, the power of faith will calm them down.

It was a weapon, not the power of a god.

The resistance of the Arabs has been organized, the infantry has formed a phalanx, covered the long-range strike army, and spread out to the two wings, preparing to intercept the outflanking army of the Tang Dynasty, so that the long-range strike army can quickly withdraw, and the matter of intercepting the cavalry with infantry looks very ridiculous in the eyes of the Tang people, but in the eyes of the Arabs, it is not impossible to happen, the Arabs are using infantry to defeat the cavalry of the Persians.

But would the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty be so stupid? Could Du He, one of the most powerful cavalry generals in the Tang Dynasty, be so stupid?

Not to mention the Eight Bull Crossbow Team that has arrived at the intended firing position and is ready to shoot, and the Eight Bull Crossbow Team is fully armed with a hundred improved Eight Bull Crossbows. Meng Yu, who rushed to the front to command, saw the formation of the Arab army in front of him, and understood that using the Eight Bull Crossbow to destroy it was the best way, the ammunition of the artillery was not much, the domestic transportation route was far away, and there was still a period of time.

Fortunately, the climate here is relatively dry, and it does not rain much, otherwise once the gunpowder gets wet, the artillery will be completely dumb.

It's time for the Eight Bull Crossbow.

Meng Yu ordered: "The Eight Bull Crossbow Team is ready!" Put! ”

One hundred eight-bull crossbows were lined up, and the huge strike area and ultra-high rate of fire set off a bloody storm in the military formation of the Arab army, and the Tang army was very strong. And there is revenge. It's definitely not the kind of one who lets you hit and never fights back, just now those javelins killed at least hundreds of Tang cavalry and their war horses, as well as several student officers from military academies, which is simply unbearable.

The thick arrows of the eight-ox crossbow flew out with an indomitable momentum. And even more terrifying is yet to come. A strange package tied to the arrow suddenly exploded. Regardless of whether it hit people or didn't hit people, all the cloth bags exploded, and for a while the explosion sounded. The entire army formation was again a bloody storm, the Arab infantry suffered heavy losses, and kept retreating, being blown into minced flesh, and the bloody body was blurred, and the visual impact on those soldiers who had never seen this scene was not ordinary.

Obviously, the effect of such a blow is very good, this is an order that has just been put into practice, the Eight Bull Crossbow Team is equipped with a powder pack that has been prepared a long time ago, and it was originally intended to be used later, but these Arab javelin men aroused Meng Yu's anger, Meng Yu decisively ordered to increase the lethality of the Eight Bull Crossbow Team's attacks, and put the mature explosives package on it, causing the same lethality and power as artillery.

The sound and power of the gunpowder explosion is not small, especially those soldiers who were pierced by the arrows, they were directly blown into minced meat, and the power of the explosive bag wrapped in improved gunpowder and linen cloth was definitely not small, not to mention the iron nails and small stones mixed in it, which were sprayed out by the force caused by the violent air current, which caused great damage and impact on the surrounding Arab soldiers, and the military formation composed of tens of thousands of people was almost immediately torn open a big hole and collapsed from the outside to the inside.

Extremely angry, Khalid immediately decided, he knew that they were not the opponent of the Tang army at all at long-range, only close to hand-to-hand combat, could it be possible to block the Tang chasing troops and preserve the long-range strike force, on the one hand, he ordered the grenadiers to use their last strength to cover the infantry to form a shock formation, on the other hand, he ordered the infantry generals to rush forward with their own troops with indomitable courage, rush to the front, so that there is no need to worry about the terrible weapons of the Chinese, although he does not know what kind of weapon it is.

Prophet! He is watching us from heaven! He's looking forward to us! Bless us! We can't let the prophets down, we can't let the gods down! No, no, no, no! Soldiers! Followers of the Prophet! Move forward! Tear the evil infidels to shreds and let them know that the wrath of the prophets is irresistible! Victory is ours! Long live the Prophet!

The extremely incendiary religious language quickly swept away the fear that permeated the hearts of Arab soldiers, who armed their hearts with prophets and beliefs, and the most fearful thing for people is the heart, and if there is no fear in the heart, then there will be no fear of anything, we have Allah, we have the prophet, we have faith, so we have power! Warriors of the Prophets! Followers! Move forward! Tearing the infidels apart!!!

The desperate charge of the Arabs unfolded, Meng Yu stared at those Arab soldiers with a look of fanaticism and madness, but could not see the loss and fear, deeply praised them, admired Du He's keen perception, several times frustrated, several times chaotic, but each time he could regroup and re-attack, which was not seen in ordinary enemies at all, even the Tang Dynasty soldiers, it is estimated that they will collapse at this point, and only 200,000 of the most elite standing combat troops can be maintained.

But the Arabs did it, these people are obviously not elite, they are in rags, they use very backward and rudimentary weapons, they have no tactical methods of warfare, they do not have a perfect strategy, but they are indeed worthy of admiration, the warriors who are not afraid of death and the warriors who face difficulties in adversity are always worthy of admiration, they are heroes, they are brave, they are brave men worthy of the admiration of the enemy!

The Arab warriors have already won the admiration of the Tang warriors!

But!

The war will not stop!

Meng Yu's face changed, and he waved his hand and ordered: "The Eight Bull Crossbow Team retreats!" The Modao team is ongoing! Array! ”

The Eight Bull Crossbow Team immediately packed up. Retreated, at the same time, wearing heavy armor, from head to toe only exposed nose and eyes of the Mo Dao army appeared, they walked slowly forward with steady and firm steps, forming a standard and sturdy Mo Dao military formation, holding the cruel killing weapon in their hands - Mo Dao, which laid down the Tang Dynasty's brilliant and dreamy dream of the Celestial Empire's peerless murder weapon, the users are all Guanzhong Hans with big shoulders and round waists, they are the descendants of the brave and warlike Qin army. They are descendants of the indomitable Zhao Jun and Yan Jun. They are the descendants of China's strongest and toughest warriors, and they are now!

The heavily armored soldiers quickly attracted the attention of the fast-moving Arab infantry, and although they felt shock and unease in their hearts, nothing could stop them from moving forward. The faith in their hearts leads them to believe that their steps forward are to follow the steps of the Prophet and Allah. That was their fateful pace. They have to go with it, for the faith in their hearts, for the dream. They can ignore the challenges and dangers of a qiē for the sake of a qiē in their hearts!

"Raise the knife !!" Meng Yu roared, accompanied by the rapid approach of the Arab warriors, Meng Yu shouted the slogan of commanding the Mo Dao Army, let them raise the powerful murder weapon Mo Dao, they don't need to be guarded, they don't need any defense, the heavy armor of the whole body makes them not afraid of a slash and stab, no weapon can leave any deadly threat on them, except that the luck is really bad to be shot in the face from the mouth and nose, then no one can guarantee that they will survive.

But after all, it is a minority, the vast majority of the Mo Dao army will not guard against the vital parts of their bodies at all, because they are all protected by this solid armor, those inferior weapons are not enough to harm their bodies, they only need to wield the Mo Dao in their hands according to the Mo Dao battle method, and ignore the flesh and corpse under their feet, move forward like a mountain, and crush the power that dares to stop them from advancing, the rest is not necessary.

Arab warriors have already rushed in front of them wielding swords and knives and spears!

"Hack!" Meng Yu immediately made a decision and roared, and the Mo Dao soldiers immediately followed the instructions and split their own Mo Dao, the knife flashed, and a large amount of blood broke out in the contact area of the entire two armies, of course, it was all the blood of Arab soldiers, and no one in the Mo Dao Army of the Tang Dynasty fell, and this was just the beginning......

"Hack! Brandish! Stab! Chop! Chop! Brandish! Stab! Chop! Meng Yu kept shouting the prescribed wisdom slogan, all the Mo sword soldiers continued to advance in the way they were familiar with, no matter how many Arab soldiers they had in front of them, they only needed to wave their Mo swords, knives and swords kept slashing at their armor, but this would not bring any damage, and any Arab soldiers who failed to attack once would not have a chance to attack a second time.

The cruel war murder weapon Mo Dao will smash them, the powerful Tang Dynasty men wield the Mo Dao, take a firm step, and walk forward, the soldiers in front of the enemy who do not kill the way will be solved by the Mo Dao Army responsible for supporting him in the rear, if there is a Mo Dao warrior in front of him, the one behind them will immediately go up, the Mo Dao warrior in front is tired, and the warriors behind will also go up, all in all, the Great Wall of Steel composed of the Mo Dao Army will never stop advancing, no matter who it is, They will only be defeated by them.

The Modao Army is a mobile Great Wall, or a mobile Great Wall with strong combat effectiveness, every time they take a step forward, there will be hundreds of thousands of Arab warriors falling in a pool of blood, their collision with the Arab warriors will end in their complete victory, no matter how many people the Arab warriors fill forward, they can never stop the progress of the Modao Army, they have paid a heavy price, but the Modao Army only has some insignificant losses, they are a copper wall!

Khalid was already stunned, the fallen on the flesh and blood battlefield were all his soldiers, all his soldiers, all the powerful warriors he brought out who had experienced the baptism of swords and guns of the Romans, but these warriors fell under the attack of the steel monsters, looking weak and weak, and the defense line he organized to resist the advance of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be so weak and weak, as if it was stabbed by the Tang Dynasty lightly, and it was pierced.

Is the gap really that big? Is it really that big of a gap? Is this qiē really so terrible and powerless? Can't even retreat?

When defeat is assured, can't the wish of just retreating be satisfied? The infantry soldiers sent to block the cavalry were also slaughtered by the Tang cavalry, perhaps a small number of them could pull the Tang cavalry off their horses and stab them to death, but most of them were killed in an instant by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, who came and went like the wind, and there was no chance to attack and defend......

If it's a dream, when can I wake up? If this is not a dream, then, Prophet, you can tell me what this qiē is? (To be continued......)
