Dawn, Kabul River.

In autumn, the coldness has begun to appear in the Western Regions. The heat when the soldiers from both sides of the enemy and us breathe is as thick as clouds.

The neat sound of the army's steps, accompanied by the intense war drums, ripples arose on the surface of the shocking Kabul River.

Although it was only a five thousand infantry formation, the tight and neat lineup, rolling smoke and huge shouts made them look like a flood.

Fifteen thousand Anxi soldiers stood quietly on both sides of the Kabul River, lined up in an orderly manner to welcome the upcoming battle.

Feng Changqing looked ahead with a solemn look, his mind a little heavy.

The Tang Dynasty's tactics of fighting against the enemy were the most varied, relying on the cooperation of troops.

Generally speaking.

The various armies are divided into archers, crossbowmen, garrisons, war storms, horsemen, jumping, surprises and so on according to their functions.

Whenever the battle begins, the enemy is at 150 steps, the crossbowmen begins to shoot; when the enemy is at 60 steps, the archers begin to shoot archers; when the enemy is at 20 steps, the crossbowmen fires arrows and then takes swords and guns and fights with the vanguard team. After the heavy infantry on his side meets the enemy's infantry and cavalry, the surprise soldiers, the horse army, and the jumping army are not allowed to act rashly. If the battle conditions of the infantry in the front are not smooth, the surprise soldiers and the horse army can attack in the front. The heavy infantry retreats and rectifies and prepares to support again. If the jumping soldiers, the surprise soldiers and the horse army are unfavorable to attack, and all infantry will cooperate with the horse army to fight at the same time.

This style of play is also included in Li Jing's "The Art of War of the Duke of Wei".

Such cooperation between the troops can make up for the shortcomings among the troops to the greatest extent.

Compared with all the troops, this kind of warfare of mixed combat with many troops is obviously more clever and suitable for anywhere.

Many alien races fighting against the Tang army were relatively monotonous due to various relationships. Famous generals like Feng Changqing would not be difficult to win as long as they were commanded in an orderly manner.

But it is obvious that the Arab Empire was able to traverse all directions and become an empire that could compete with the Tang Dynasty, which was definitely not a false reputation.

The Western military branches were very different from those of the Tang Dynasty, but with Feng Changqing's own military literacy, it is not difficult to see the tricks.

The front row of the axe and shield soldiers have the same effect as the sword and shield soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, except that the other party's shield is a long shield, which covers the entire body with a super-large shield. Needless to mention the axe, the heavy weapons among short weapons, must be above the sword and shield soldiers.

The spearmen that followed were also different from the common spearmen that were the Tang soldiers.

Their spears are heavier and longer, and they are spears that have no melee ability at all. But it can be imagined that the power of long-range sprints must be very terrible, so in addition to heavy spears, spearmen also have melee scimitars hanging on them.

As for the swordsman wearing heavy armor and holding swords in both hands, Feng Changqing's understanding is the first time he has seen it...

But you can imagine how lethal that terrible double-edged sword is.

Feng Changqing remembered that before he came, Pei Shuai had talked to him about the core combat power of Arabia.

The reason why Arab military is powerful is that their military system is like the Qin State back then.

In the past, the people of Qin were extremely poor, far less than the six Eastern countries, but their system was extremely useful. Shang Yang established a complete system of awarding titles with military merits. Under this system, soldiers who were rewarded with meritorious killing enemies on the battlefield could receive land and real estate as rewards, and there were also many policy care.

Only military achievements can improve life, so they become warlike.

Arabs used slave soldiers to the extreme, gathering strong children together, teaching them their faith and training their ability to fight.

Therefore, these soldiers were born for battle. They knew nothing and knew how to kill people. They were not afraid of death with the blessing of faith.

Westerners have tended to be barbaric, and their strength and body shape are generally higher than those of Easterners.

If the battle really starts, the Tang army may not be able to gain the upper hand.

Feng Changqing felt a little disapproving, but when he saw the Arab army personally, he realized that Pei's words were not worth it.

"Try it first!"

Feng Changqing waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to issue orders.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The sparse crossbow arrows emerged from the air.

Only a few "aggressive" sounds were heard, and the most powerful crossbow arrow in the Tang Dynasty did not achieve miraculous results this time.

The super-large long shield used by the Arabian Axe Shield soldier is wrapped with a layer of iron sheet on the outside, made of Western hardwood, and has an amazing defense against crossbow arrows.

All the crossbows of the Tang army were fixed on super-large long shields, like stones entering the sea.

"Puchi!" sounded!

A general next to Abu Muslim couldn't help laughing.

Kahtaba smiled and said, "This is the strong bow and crossbow of the Tang Dynasty? It's not so good!"

After joining the alliance with Tubo, Tubo shared all the strengths and weaknesses of the Tang Dynasty in his hands with Arabs.

Among them, Tubo mentioned the powerful bows and crossbows of the Tang Dynasty many times, which were unparalleled in the world and caused them huge damage.

It seems now, but that's it.

Abu Muslim did not respond and continued to look at the battlefield. He suddenly noticed that the Tang army on the other side of the Kabul River and the Tang soldiers on the shore were defeated!

Behind the Tang Bing, there were actually five strange wooden tools, which were a bit like ancient Roman crossbows, but their appearances were very different.

Feng Changqing licked his lips, waved his hand again, and gave the order to shoot.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

This time it was not the slight sound of the crossbow arrow, but the sound of thunder.

Five thick crossbow arrows emerged from the air, and at the same time, thirty smaller crossbow arrows as spears also spread out and exploded.

The crossbow arrow crossed the Kabul River and actually caused a rippling ripples on the water.

The thick crossbow arrow shot into the Arab shield in an instant.

The huge crossbow arrow, which was two meters long and weighed eighty kilograms, was not hindered at all, and the crushing force directly exploded the big shield.

The huge force directly shattered the bones of the arms of the soldiers holding the shield, and crossbow arrows penetrated their bodies and shot the Arab army through the army.

The small crossbow arrows are much less powerful than the long shield, but they are not something that can be resisted by the long shield.

He shot directly into the wooden shield, and the wooden shield and the soldiers holding the shield collided with the Arab formation.

The five thousand-man army directly tore five giant crossbows into five sections, and thirty small crossbows were missing and shot in a mess.

"shoot!"

Feng Changqing's eyes showed a sharp look and waved the flag.

Tang Jun, who was lying on the ground, stood up together, revealing a dark crossbow arrow...

The crossbow arrows in the sky shot out in the air!

Kahtaba's smile at this moment was stiff on his face, and he saw a crossbow arrow piercing into the body of the soldier's leather armor, and red blood splattering like a fountain!

As the shield soldiers at the front of the array fell, multiple cracks appeared in the strict formation dam.
Chapter completed!
