Chapter 66 Breaking the Camel Cavalry

Zhang Xiaosong looked at the tall camel cavalry blocking Wu Gang's chariot and calmly issued new instructions.

Wugang Chariot Formation Many years ago, when the Han people had not had a large number of cavalry, General Wei Qing used the Wugang Chariot Formation to defeat the Huns.

Later, Ma Long, a famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, combined Wu Gang chariot with Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and flowing horse, allowing Wu Gang chariot to take into account mobility and defeated the invasion of the nomadic Qiang people.

However, the Tang Dynasty did not lack cavalry, and it was never timid in the battle with aliens in the wild.

Therefore, Wugangche did not pay much attention to the imperial court in this era and did not evolve much, but there were still drawings of Wugangche in the skills inherited by the court.

Due to the special performance of the camel cavalry, Pei discussed this issue with his advisers Xu Yuan and Gao Shi before the war started, and studied the method of restraint.

Finally, it was discovered that camel cavalry has a common problem with cavalry, which is that it lacks ability to attack.

Facing the city camp, camel cavalry has no effective destructive power, and camels are far less stable than war horses to run, and cannot conduct long-distance attacks.

Based on these characteristics, Xu Yuan proposed the retro choice of Wugang Car.

Inspired by Pei Da, he also remembered a note from Li Jing in his early years.

The Tang Dynasty did not lack war horses, but the war horses of the Tang Dynasty did not come out of thin air.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were not many military horses in the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Jing was the governor of Lingzhou, he had done special research on the characteristic of the Tang army's lack of horses. The Modao Formation was the killer weapon he developed at this time to specifically restrain the grassland cavalry. In addition to the Modao Formation, he also studied the Yue Formation of Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty.

Liu Yu, who was so arrogant that he was like a tiger, used both the water and the land armies, and used only two thousand infantry to defeat the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Such a classic battle formation is worth studying.

Although the Modao Formation created by Li Jing did not use chariots, his notes were still of great value.

Based on Li Jing's note, Pei created a chariot formation specifically used to deal with the camel cavalry, in line with the current technology of the Tang Dynasty and its own military strategy, as well as the characteristics of the camel cavalry.

Mosremasa has always hidden the camel cavalry like a treasure, so that the chariot formation has no use.

Until today, the Wugang Chariot Formation was not put into the battle formation.

Cetellas' expression was blue and white, and she felt a little more gleeful in her heart, and she muttered: "Fortunately, the sand dissipated quickly, otherwise she would have to suffer a big loss."

The camel is huge. Although its speed is not as fast as a war horse, its impact force is even greater than that of a cavalry: if it hits a chariot like a hedgehog, the outcome can be imagined.

"The True God Allah is protecting us, and the soldiers are circling on their left and right wings!" Keras saw that the Tang army's Wugang car was only arranged in front of the formation, and the left and right wings could break into it. The Wugang car moved slowly and could not catch up with the speed of the camel cavalry at all.

Seeing the Arab camel cavalry in a fan shape, Zhang Xiaosong waved his hand and said, "Attack!"

With his order, Wu Gang's car moved forward slowly, but was not fast due to the terrain restrictions.

The soldiers on the car extended the thick steel pipes out of the arrow holes in the car.

Looking at the unknown steel pipe, an ominous premonition emerged in Ketras's heart.

The next scene stunned him.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Steel pipes rushed out of the green flames more than meter long. The flames swept through the camels, instantly swept the tall fighting camels into the sea of ​​fire.

Cetellas had never seen Greek fire, but he had also heard the name of Greek fire. A terrible rumor appeared in his mind, and his heart suddenly became cold.

As long as it is a beast, there is no one who is not afraid of fire, and camels are no exception.

Faced with the high temperature of Greek fire, camels broke out of control at the moment when the flames burst.

The flames of Greek fire were too powerful. The camel that shot first was directly surrounded by the flames. The smell of coke came out of his body. There was no room for resistance and he fell to the ground in a wail.

The remaining flame seedlings were swept away, and because of the fear of the creature, they began to flee in all directions.

But the camel cavalry not only crowded in one place, but there is not much room for each other. Moreover, the camels are far less agile than the military horses, and it is impossible for the heavy camels to turn around and move in a short time.

The result can only be crowding and colliding with each other.

This willows are unintentionally planted in shade.

Camels have heavy hair and contain high amounts of sulfur, which is more flammable than ordinary hair.

Just let the flames spread immediately throughout the body.

They are crowded with each other, and the flames lead to each other and spread at a terrible speed.

The knight on the camel's back either fell off the camel's back or jumped off the camel's back to avoid fire, but there was only one person waiting for them...death!

The panicked camel ruthlessly trampled them into meat paste.

In addition to the flame ejection, dense arrow feathers leaped out from behind Wu Gang's car.

Where do Arab soldiers still have the energy to deal with arrow feathers?

It was flames and sharp arrows, and the Arab soldiers were sad and hissed, and the formation was in chaos.

Ketras was at a loss to control the situation, but the entirely terrified camel army did not accept his command at all.

Camels are creatures with high IQ. The more IQ they have, the more fear they feel.

The camel cavalry was completely in chaos and was not established.

"Retreat, withdraw, withdraw!"

Ketras was scared and roared with a bit of tragic roar.

"I, Cetellas, swore to the true God, and I will avenge this!"

Ketras vented his indignation, and suddenly there were waves of shouts of killing, and he turned his head and his eyes were filled with tears!

Just when they were defeated, the infantry and cavalry on the left and right wings of the Tang army began to detour around the area of ​​Greek fire erupting towards them.

Obviously, Tang Jun did not intend to let them leave calmly...

Especially Xia Shan's light cavalry, they were extremely fast and directly traversed and blocked their retreat.

The fierce battle suddenly turned into a unilateral massacre.

The most special army of Arabs that they are invincible was actually defeated in the Gobi where they are best at.

Zhang Xiaosong looked at the battlefield, and looked at Wu Gang's car, and couldn't help swallowing. Pei's sentence came to his mind: In the face of the advantages of technology, tactics and tactics are insignificant.

In order to defeat the Camel Cavalry, Pei spent a lot of effort to study the battle formation in his early years.

Because of the emergence of the Greek fire, he directly overturned his research results and sent such a killing weapon to place the Greek fire in Wugang's car.

really!

One battle was successful!

Wu Gang's car turned into a fire-breathing beast, winning with a terrifying power.

The only regret is that Ketras escaped, and he led the remaining soldiers to escape in the direction of the Black Gobi.

The closer it approaches the Black Gobi Desert, the worse the terrain environment, and the more significant the advantages of camel cavalry.

Even if Xia Shan was unwilling to accept her, she would not dare to go deeper.
