Chapter 1548 Desert Storm

Before Li Chengyi went to war, he was also called by Li Xiang to teach him a lesson. This time, all of them were the elite of the Arabs, so they must be careful when fighting, and they must stop their original pride.

Li Chengyi was originally a proud man, and he won the battle, so he didn't take the army of the Arab Empire to heart at all, but the current situation made him feel that His Highness was too cautious.

In other words, we attach too much importance to them. We also brought a group of troops from Chang'an, which almost assembled 30% of the artillery and muskets of the entire army. Take my 20,000 people for example, they are already armed to the teeth, but now their army can't rush in at all. Looking from the sky, the tens of thousands of Arab troops have become a big dye vat. All of them are confused and just wandering around in that piece of land, and many people want to rush out.

The final result is that they can't rush out, and they also knocked other people off their horses or camels. After these people fell to the ground, screams came over, either their arms were broken by horse hooves, or their heads were crushed by camels.

In short, there were all kinds of tragic scenes one after another. The Tang army looked at them from a distance, and their palms were sweating with nervousness. They thought of the so-called desert storm and the black storm, which were all used to describe the Arab cavalry. As a result, they did not see any storms now, but saw their own people killing each other.

"Increase the firepower output, let the cavalry move to the two wings, bypass the musket team and artillery, and be ready to attack at any time."

Li Chengyi immediately made adjustments to the army. Under the current situation, the original tactics are definitely useless. Our cavalry cannot be idle. We should wait a little at this time. When they are more chaotic, we can rush over directly. As for whether their people can withstand it, that is their own business.

From this, we can see that the Tang army is well-trained. Although the formation is changed in a short time, the army is not in any chaos. From this, we can also see that the usual training must be very attentive. If it is not well trained, the whole team would be in chaos now.

After Li Chengyi's men were replaced, the formation of the Arab Empire army became more chaotic, and our artillery had stopped attacking. It was not for other reasons, but mainly because the barrel was too hot. If we continued to fire, it would probably explode.

The crossbow had already begun to move forward. Fortunately, this thing was relatively light, and several soldiers could carry it over. The position that originally belonged to the chain crossbow soldiers was now filled with crossbows.

As the sound of whooshing sounded, a large number of crossbows also fired over. The glimmer of hope that the Arab soldiers had just seen was immediately shattered. Although the explosive power of the crossbow was not as strong as that of the cannonball, the number of crossbows was too large, which also made the Arab soldiers who had just stabilized fall into hell again.

Many people have collapsed. They have never seen such a way of fighting. Even when they encountered the heavy armored cavalry of the Frankish Kingdom, they did not collapse like now. At least that way of fighting still exists in their cognition. Now this way of fighting has gone beyond their imagination.

They could see the Tang army, and the Tang army did not rush over in the chaos. At that time, many people laughed at the Tang army, thinking that they did not know how to seize the opportunity. Now they understand what is going on. There is no need for them to seize this so-called opportunity.

They did not come because they were afraid of accidentally hurting their own people. Now all kinds of crossbows are exploding in their camp. Many people feel that they are not as good as the artillery just now.

After all, the power of artillery explosion is great, but the range is relatively small. After all, the number of artillery is small, but now crossbows are just like blooming everywhere. It is not easy to integrate a team of two or three thousand people, hoping that they will attack the Tang camp, and then let the Tang artillery stop firing, but under the explosion of crossbows, these two or three thousand people The team instantly fell into a state of no command.

"Report to the general, another Arab army was found on the right, and they also found us."

Just as Li Chengyi was watching happily, a whole Arab army was found on the right, with a number of about 20,000, and they had already made a battle formation. The two Arab armies added up to nearly 40,000.

Twenty thousand of them have been destroyed by us, and the real casualties are only about three thousand people, but the rest are either injured or have lost all their will. Now the most important thing is the new army.

"Quickly set up the left defense and allocate half of the crossbows."

This is indeed a bit tricky. I thought I had won a great victory, but I didn't expect another Arab army to appear. This is also related to our scouts. After the chaos on the battlefield, they did not come back to report immediately, but Li Chengyi believes that his soldiers have enough ability to deal with it.

The transfer of artillery is relatively difficult, so at this time, we have to rely on crossbows. Li Chengyi did not easily use the cavalry and musket team in his hands. This is the army that guarantees the safety of the entire victory. Anyway, the army on the left has not rushed over yet, so there is no hurry now.

The generals on the left also understand that there is no point in going to rescue now, and they must rush to attack the camp of the Tang army.

Facing the aggressive army on the left, the crossbows released shells instantly, causing some damage to the army, but not as much as the artillery, so after the initial panic, the army immediately reorganized and dispersed to protect them from the attack of shells.

When seeing this scene, Li Chengyi also gave a thumbs up. Our artillery has attacked the armies of many countries, especially the cavalry with larger targets. There has never been such a combat method. It seems that the general leading this army is different. He actually knows how to disperse his troops.

But you have only passed the first level. When this army entered the range of the musketeers, Li Chengyi drew out his command knife very coquettishly, and then waved it fiercely in front of him. The sound of the surrounding muskets firing almost shook him off his horse.

Thousands of muskets fired at the same time, and the cavalry at the front seemed to have hit a barrage of bullets... (End of this chapter)
