Datang romantic little landlord

It was not until five hundred steps away from Xue Yantuo's army that Li Wangyou ordered the army to stop.

Immediately, the lieutenants, captains, and brigade commanders of the various military schools began to order the soldiers under their command to organize the queues, so that the queues that had become a little scattered due to the march were organized again.

At the forefront of the Tang army ranks are the jumping soldiers with swords and shields in their hands.

Jumping soldiers are equipped with round shields and short knives, wear light armor, and are responsible for close combat, making up for the lack of flexibility of companions who use long weapons.The round shields in their hands mainly defend against the rain of arrows thrown by the enemy.

Behind Tiaodangbing is Mo Dao Shou.

Datang's Mo Dao Shou can be said to be the strongest infantry in the cold weapon era.

Historically, during the Tianbao period, during the Battle of Talas, the Tang Army fought against 2 Arab coalition forces with 20 horses.In the case of being raided by the rebels on the flank, the Tang army still wiped out [-] Arab coalition forces, and nearly [-] people successfully retreated.

The Tang army fought many with few. Although they lost the war in the end, the Arab coalition forces felt the horror of the Tang Mo swordsman.

Entering like a wall, people and horses are all smashed!

It is the Arabs' admiration for Mo Dao Shou.

Behind the one thousand mo swordmen, there are two thousand crossbowmen in the front line, which is also the key to Li Wangyou's victory in this war.

As for the cavalry on the two wings, Li Wangyou didn't arrange any important tasks for them this time, just hold down the ground.When Xue Yantuo's army collapsed, they were responsible for chasing and cleaning up the mess.

Anyway, Xue Yantuo's brain-dead tactics, Li Wangyou is not worried that his two wings will be attacked by cavalry.

As he expected, Xue Yantuo's [-] cavalry did not ride horses at all, and they all lined up like the Tang army, overwhelming them like dark clouds.

Tang has few soldiers, so naturally he will not take the initiative to attack, and the right way is to wait for work with ease.

Jie Libi was also aware of this point, and he didn't expect Tang Jun to be so stupid as to take the initiative to attack.

After stabilizing the position, Xue Yantuo's army adjusted slightly, Jie Libi waved his hand, the horn of Xue Yantuo's army sounded, and the [-] army in the vanguard began to press down on the Tang army with neat steps.

The [-] troops marched in unison, and the momentum was astonishing. Even Li Wangyou could feel the slight tremor of the ground even when he was on the watchtower car behind.

Ah Tuo was also following behind Li Wangyou at the moment. He was a herdsman in a small tribe. He had never seen such a scene before, and he couldn't help clenching his fists nervously at this moment, staring at Xue Yantuo's army.

When the war was about to break out, Li Wangyou was not nervous anymore. He turned his head and looked at Ah Dian with a smile: "Da Lang, let's see how I can avenge the Huerte tribe today! Believe me, the blood of the Huerte tribe will not be shed in vain." of!"

A Duo nodded fiercely, and squinted his eyes to look at Xue Yantuo's rear army, which was the direction where Jie Libi was.

Xue Yantuo's forward [-] troops kept moving forward, and the distance between the two sides was gradually shortened.

Five hundred steps... four hundred steps...

1038 One Hit and Destroyed

At this moment, it has actually entered the throwing range of the crossbowmen of the Tang army. After replacing the Qingtian crossbow, its throwing distance will be four hundred steps away.

The captain who commanded the crossbowmen couldn't help turning his head to look at the watchtower car, but saw that Li Wangyou didn't say anything at all, and watched Xue Yantuo's army approaching step by step with a blank face.

Three hundred steps... two hundred steps...

The crossbowmen in Xue Yantuo's forward [-] army were the first to attack, raised their bows and arrows, and began to throw arrows at Tang Jun.

Tang Jun's jumping soldiers immediately raised their round shields to block the rain of arrows.

Xue Yantuo's forward army consisted of 2 people, including 5000 crossbowmen alone. For a while, the black rain of arrows poured down like raindrops, which was terrifying.

Two hundred steps and a distance of 300 meters are actually comparable to the maximum throwing distance of a bow and arrow.

Although the arrow rain of Xue Yantuo's forward army was very dense, the damage to Tang Jun was pitiful.

Not to mention that the round shields in the hands of those jumping soldiers can withstand arrows, even if the Mo Dao hands have no shields, but the Mo Dao hands in Datang are all wearing thick Mingguang armor, and their defense is amazing.

These arrows thrown from the maximum range actually don't have much kinetic energy at all, so they can't penetrate their armor.

However, the arrows falling from the sky and hitting the armor made a clanging sound, which was also terrifying.

But the Tang army has been through battle for a long time. Even in such a passive situation, the army did not have the slightest commotion.Except for the occasional unlucky guy who was hit by the falling arrow rain on the body that was not protected by the shield armor, and let out a muffled grunt, Tang Jun stood still like a rock in the torrent!

Cheng Chumo and the others were anxious: "Ziyou, why didn't you fight back? The shooting range of the Qingtian crossbow is far higher than that of Xue Yantuo's bow and arrow. Why do you have to be beaten so passively?"

Li Wangyou smiled: "Brother Chu Mo, don't worry, let them get closer, so as not to be too tiring after chasing them later!"

Chasing... getting up... too tired...

Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Everyone was very worried now, and even Mi Tuo had secretly gestured to his subordinates, signaling them to protect Li Wangyou, and if something went wrong, he would pull him back immediately.

In the end, this guy was thinking about how to chase the enemy...

Isn't this a bit too disrespectful to the opponent?

On the opposite side is an army of [-] Xue Yantuo, not [-] pigs!

Although Cheng Chumo and other dandies have never been on the battlefield, they are considered generals, and they are very clear about the affairs of the battle formation. When they were about to speak out to persuade them, they saw Li Wangyou suddenly waved his hand, and the messenger beside him immediately shouted. Sound the horn...

When the horn sounded, the jumping soldiers and Mo Daomen who were originally at the vanguard of the Tang army suddenly moved, and they all squatted down amidst the sound of the horn, revealing the two thousand crossbowmen behind them.

The lieutenant commanding the crossbowman then shouted the command: "Shoot!"

A scalp-numbing buzzing suddenly resounded through the sky, it was the powerful piercing sound of the composite steel crossbow strings.

Five or six hundred armor-piercing arrows gleaming with cold light shot out from the Tang Army's formation and pierced towards Xue Yantuo's striker who was two hundred steps away.

The reason why Li Wangyou dared to put Xue Yantuo's forward army so close was because the composite crossbow had a big enough advantage over the bow and arrow in Xue Yantuo's hand.

With a distance of two hundred steps and 300 meters, Xue Yantuo's bow and arrow can be thrown to the maximum range.

At this distance, it is not so easy to break the armor.

But at the same distance, the composite steel crossbow in Tang Jun's hands can shoot directly, and it has enough power to penetrate the armor of Xue Yantuo.

String!Arrow out!

In the next second, the armor-piercing arrow crossed a distance of 300 meters, ignoring the resistance of the armor, and directly pierced into the human body, bringing out a puff of blood mist...

According to Li Wangyou's order, the two thousand crossbowmen of the Tang army were divided into three columns, each with 600 soldiers.

After a volley, the crossbowmen in the first row immediately turned around one after another, and began to string and install their crossbows.The second row of crossbowmen stepped forward, raised their crossbows to aim, pulled the crossbow according to the commander's command, fired the crossbow again, and turned back without hesitation...

In an instant, two thousand crossbowmen of the Tang army completed a three-stage shooting, and two thousand armor-piercing arrows were projected out.

And Xue Yantuo's forward army was instantly stunned by this wave of arrows.

Two thousand armor-piercing arrows directly shot down seven or eight hundred Xue Yantuo soldiers.
