"Boom!" With a dull sound of crossbow strings, more than a hundred iron-winged giant crossbows flew out again. All the Dashi soldiers blocking the Tang Army's main formation were either veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles or were temporarily recruited.
Volunteer, turn your mount and run away.
After all, it can only be used for straight-line attacks. Most of the iron-wing crossbow arrows fell into the air, and did not cause huge damage to the enemy like the previous two shots. However, for the Dashi Army as a whole, the effect of this wave of attacks was far away.
It was better than the previous two waves. Within three feet of the path passed by the giant crossbow, there was no giant cannibal standing around. The place where the crossbow arrow finally landed actually opened up a group of giant cannibals.
Circle. The giant cannibals near the landing point crowded each other and tried their best to escape into the distance. If anyone dared to block it, they would be pushed away without caring about the life or death of the blocker.
"Squeaks ..." The Cross Crossbow, which was nearly half smaller than the volume of the crossbow, was pushed forward by Tang Jun in a hurry.
The giant cannibal in front of the Tang Army's main formation screamed and scurried away. The attack array composed of tens of thousands of people was crushed to pieces by the Anxi Army's crossbow arrows.
Panic spread rapidly from front to back. Several Dashi generals who led the troops tried their best, but could not gather the troops again. Soon, behind the interception battle group, Ai Kai, the head coach of the Dashi Eastern Expedition Army, was busy
Another group of large soldiers and horses who strangled the heavy armor of the Tang army under Li Siye's command under Lamu's control were also alarmed. They all turned around on their horses and raised their eyes to look at the origin of the panic.
At first glance, everyone was shocked, and the offensive immediately came to a halt.
When the two armies are fighting, no matter how disparate the numbers are, before one of them collapses, the actual range of contact is limited to the length of the side with the smaller number. At this moment, there are enough large black armors surrounding the heavy infantry of the Anxi Army.
There are more than 40,000, but those who can really compete with the heavy infantry are only a few thousand closest to the three conical arrays. Further to the outer edge of the battle group, the large black armors are completely emboldening their own people.
Only after the big cannibals who fought with the Anxi heavy infantry were hacked or stabbed to death, did they take their turn to step forward to take over, continuing the "too many ants will kill the elephant to death" tactic of a sea of people.
It's a pity that this trapped "elephant" is too ferocious. Every time it shakes its body, it will trample hundreds of "ants" to death. However, several large soldiers and horses responsible for intercepting the main force of the Tang army have collapsed. In addition,
A huge creature was rumbling to the beat of the drum. Every living thing it passed was turned into dust.
At this moment, the commander of the Eastern Expedition Jihad Army, Aikelamu, was still under control of the situation. Here he was hurriedly waving the command flag and dispatching troops from the rear to stop the retreating rebels. On the other hand, he was unwilling to let the troops who were already close at hand
The heavy armored infantry of the Tang Army broke out of the encirclement and fought under the banner of their commander. They were so busy that they were dizzy. Several consecutive orders were given with incoherent words, making the officers and soldiers under their command even more confused.
"Dong, dong, dong dong!" Compared with the chaos on the Dashi side, the Tang Army's main formation, which was approaching slowly not far away, seemed calm and composed. Under the unified control of the war drums, they moved forward steadily.
, the crossbowmen are still in front, and all other arms follow the crossbowmen. Whenever they encounter obstacles, they will first use the Fuyuan Crossbow and the Qingzhang Crossbow to greet them in turn, and then use the Horn Crossbow to completely shoot the recalcitrant into hedgehogs.
.
Seeing that the crossbow arrows of the Tang Army were about to hit his back, Aikelamu, as the commander, was still talking nonsense. Several generals who had been ordered to surround and kill the heavy armored infantry of the Tang Army looked at each other and shouted to supervise the battle.
It came to an abrupt end. Those jihadists had long been killed by Mo Dao and Chang Yan and were terrified. It was only because of the pressure from the supervising team behind them that they had to rush upward in waves. Feeling the pressure from behind disappear, their steps immediately stopped.
go ahead.
The pressure trapped outside the heavy armored infantry battle formation suddenly weakened. Li Siye had experienced hundreds of battles, how could he not know how to seize such a good opportunity? He immediately used both arms to chop up the enemy in front of him, and then raised the Modao high above his head, "
Enter!"
"Come in!" All the Anxi heavy armor armed with long soldiers responded loudly. They all took a step forward and chopped the human wall blocking the front into four pieces.
"Ah!" Behind the human wall, several low-level Dashi generals supervising the battle turned pale in fright. They turned around and ran away. Li Siye had no interest in wasting time on these small fish and shrimps, so Mo Dao moved forward diagonally.
Pointing his finger, he yelled "Enter" and took a big step forward with both feet.
"Come in!" The long swords were swung together, and the cold light changed the color of the wind and clouds.
The surrounding large black armored warriors all retreated. In order to avoid the fate of being chopped into pieces or poked into sieves, they didn't care even if they squeezed their own people off their horses.
"Go in!" There was another shout, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Li Siye took another big step forward. The brothers around him who could still pick up weapons also followed suit.
The big eater was forced to take another big step back. Then he continued to take the initiative to take a big step back. Suddenly, with a huff, they ran away, running faster than a frightened rabbit.
The three cone-shaped military formations looked after each other, like three sharp wolf fangs, slowly pushed out from behind the black armor spread out in all directions. The sharp blade pointed at the flag of the Eastern Crusade Crusade.
.
At this moment, the flag of the Holy War Eastern Expedition Army was less than twenty steps away from Li Siye. The commander of Dashi Aikelamu still hoped to create a miracle with the blessing of Allah. He handed the scimitar to his left hand and grabbed the messenger horn with his right hand, preparing to
He blew the trumpet in person to boost morale. He accidentally caught an opportunity. When he calmed down and looked again, he saw that the messenger who was responsible for carrying the trumpet had already turned his mount, banging his stirrups and was about to escape.
"Those who betray Allah will die!" Aikelamu quickly raised the scimitar and threw it at the messenger. The poor messenger was blocked by his own soldiers and could not run too fast. Aikelam's sword
It circled around and severed his head from his neck from behind.
"The time has come to test your loyalty. The time has come to test your loyalty!" Aikelamu did not take any other weapons, waving his two empty hands and shouting at the surrounding soldiers.
Tang Jun's Mo Dao was almost cut to the buttocks. How could the defeated soldiers have the courage to pay attention to him? He lowered his head, got under the armpit of his commander, and continued to run for his life. Seeing this, the guards on the left and right hurriedly shouted.
They rushed forward. The one who pulled the arm pulled the arm, and the other pulled the horse's rein. They grabbed Aikailamu and joined the flow of people fleeing. No matter how the latter cursed and threatened, he refused to let go and let him go to the Mo Dao Formation.
Die.
"Let me go, let me go. I'm going to kill you! Kill you!" Aikelamu first roared like a madman and struggled. Then suddenly his shoulders shrank, he lowered his head, and howled loudly, "Let me donate.
Be loyal. Let me show my loyalty. How can I go back and explain to the Caliph when the war is like this!"
"The Holy Prophet also used to show weakness to confuse the enemy when he was under the city of Mecca. However, he won the final victory!" An Imam who followed him to escape was astute and saw that Aikelam was not like him.
He really wanted to seek relief, so he stepped forward and spoke loudly.
As soon as the words fell, Aikailamu stopped howling, opened his tearful eyes, and asked in a low voice, "You, what did you say?"
"When the Holy Prophet was spreading the glory of God, he also suffered setbacks. But he was able to endure the humiliation and bear the burden until he won the final victory. General, although you did not achieve a brilliant victory today, how do you know that this is not God's gift to you?
What about the test?" The young Imam thought for a while and continued to quote scriptures.
"Right?" As if he saw a glimmer of light in the dark night, Aikailamu's eyes were suddenly filled with life again. No wonder everything is wrong today. It turned out to be a test given to me by Allah. I silently kept this reason in my heart
After chanting it several times, he finally cheered up, and while banging his mount to fight his way out of the crowd, he asked in a low voice, "Who are you? How come your face looks so familiar to me?"
"I am Ali? Bin Hamad? Bin Polk?... Adi from Mecca!" Even though he was running for his life, the young Imam still reported a long name without forgetting.
Aikelamu could only hear the word Adi clearly, and his eyes suddenly became brighter. Although the name of the big cannibal may seem very complicated to the outside world, in fact, it has a very complete naming rule. Among the names of the young Imamu
, including the names of his father, grandfather and even great-grandfather, but the last one clearly stated that he came from the famous Adi family. He was one of the four saints, a descendant of the great businessman Omar.
Although his ability to command on the battlefield is average, Aikelam's ability to stand in line is first-class. Otherwise, he would not have been able to take charge of the Eastern Expedition army when the former Abu Muslim faction generals were severely suppressed. "You should follow closely.
As long as I can pass the test of Allah, I will never forget your reminder!" He glanced at the young Imamu again and ordered in a low voice. He squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and led the group to kiss.
Wei quickly turned westward.
As soon as the commander fled, the rest of the Da Shi Heijia were even more disinclined to fight. Although their numbers were much higher than that of the Tang army, they could not even organize an orderly retreat. Many senior generals who had just been transferred from the Western Front were left behind and were unfamiliar with them.
The soldiers fled alone. The soldiers who had lost their backbone were running around, some galloping their horses to the west, some galloping their horses to the south, and some turned to the north. As long as they did not turn back to face the Tang army, they would not hesitate even if there was a desert in front of them.
.
Those servants who were forced to go even further went too far. They simply got off their horses in gangs and begged for surrender from the Tang general who was closest to them. Then they wrapped their helmets in white cloth, jumped on their mounts again, acted as Tang people's servants, and took the lead in the pursuit.
Kill the big cannibals who are running around.
In terms of skill, those Jihadists and volunteers were far superior to the forcibly recruited servants. Any one of them could defeat two or three servants. However, they did not have the courage to delay on the battlefield.
, when encountering an army of servants outflanking them from the side, they would either turn their horses' heads and change the direction of escape, or they could hold their heads and continue to rush forward. As long as the person who was hacked to death on the spot was not themselves, they would have escaped disaster for the time being.
Fortunately, the number of the Tang army was small, and the sprint speed of the Anxi war horses was generally far lower than that of the Tianfang horses. Therefore, as long as they ran away regardless of their lives, it was really difficult for the Anxi army to keep them all. Most of the Jihad Gazi and volunteers They all escaped and ran for more than thirty miles. It was not until they could no longer hear the drums in their ears that they slowed down their mounts slightly and howled loudly at each other. Crying, crying, they suddenly discovered that, The soreness in hands and feet that bothered everyone before was actually gone. Apart from being tired and thirsty from running, everyone had no other physical abnormalities.
"Does Allah not want us to attack the East in the first place?" Now, not only a few volunteers began to doubt the necessity of this Eastern expedition, but even the jihadists and Imams, who were always known for their firm beliefs, also began to doubt the necessity of this expedition. Suspicious. The Tang army's neat formation, sophisticated equipment and clever tactics all undermined their confidence in continuing to spread their teachings eastward. Especially the Lin Mo Dao, which made everyone shudder every time they thought about it.
Before a few lucky Imams could sort out the confusion in their hearts, the screams began again at the end of the fleeing team. In the light yellow smoke, a Tang general rode up to him with a chain in his hand. With one swing of the hammer, several jihadists who were unable to escape were swept off their horses.
