"Impossible! How could there be such powerful cavalry from the east! "
In the rear of the formation, Umar's pupils constricted, and he almost stopped breathing. The tens of thousands of Arab cavalry he had dispatched were the elite force under his command. They had followed him through many campaigns, suppressing many rebellions and conquering ancient civilizations like the Sassanid Dynasty.
However, Umar had never thought that such a skilled cavalry would be defeated by the cavalry from the east. They were not a match for them at all.
"Everyone, follow me!"
At almost the same time, Sun Zhiming roared from the rear of the Wushang Cavalry. Taking advantage of the moment when the Arab cavalry had been scattered, he ordered the nearly ten thousand Qixi cavalry to plunge into the gaps in the Arab cavalry like a massive saber. Under the charge of Sun Zhiming's cavalry, the scattered Arab cavalry became even more disorderly.
On the other side, Chen Burang, Zhuang Buping, Chi Weisi, and the other 'future generals' of Deflecting Blade Manor were also leading the cavalry of the Annam Protectorate and the other mercenaries in the charge. After more than a year of bitter training, these people had not yet reached the level of strength equivalent to Li Siye or Su Hanshan, but the insight, knowledge, and skill in the art of war that they had gained from their time with Wang Chong had slowly matured, and they were beginning to show the embryonic forms of these future generals.
From this aspect, the insight, knowledge, and skill they had displayed on the battlefield were far more effective than their individual strengths. This was also why Wang Chong had called them out of Deflecting Blade Manor.
Bangbangbang!
The army continued to charge, choosing to strike at the weakest points of the Arab army, the most lethal points. 'The art of war is the art of chess'. After training in Deflecting Blade Manor for so long, Sun Zhiming, Chen Burang, and the others had all gained a systematic understanding of the art of war under Wang Chong's tutelage. They had also developed an extremely keen sense for opportunities and opportunities.
One War Saint Wang Chong was hard enough to deal with, and with these 'future generals', an army of one hundred thousand could display an unimaginable power.
This was the most valiant and most extravagant army of the Tang Dynasty!
Boomboomboom! Screams and collisions filled the air as the tens of thousands of scattered Arab cavalry were torn to pieces. Even though the Arabs were tall and innately skilled in battle, war had never been fought by individuals, but by groups.
Once the Arabs were cut up into small groups, no matter how strong they were, it was meaningless.
Bangbangbang! One Arab horseman after another was pierced through from multiple directions, falling from their horses and dying on the ground. In just a few seconds, the Arabs had lost seventeen to eighteen thousand soldiers, a speed that left everyone alarmed.
When these tactical generals of Deflecting Blade Manor were paired with a future Invincible Great General like Li Siye, the power of this Arrow Formation was unimaginable!
"Neigh!"
The neighing of horses resounded through the battlefield. While Sun Zhiming's cavalry were repeatedly cutting through the Arab cavalry, Li Siye had already pierced through the Arab cavalry formation. The massive Ferghana horse carried Li Siye like a bolt of white silk as it crashed into the Arab shieldmen at the very back.
"Careful! Raise the shields! Stop those Tang people! "
"Kill them! Kill them! Those who retreat will die!"
… …
A series of urgent voices resounded throughout the battlefield, revealing a strong sense of panic. Boomboomboom! On the eastern edge of Talas, countless Arab shieldbearers gathered all their strength to hold up their massive shields.
But the only response they received was the clattering of metal …
Clang! Li Siye swung his massive WuZi Steel sword, cleaving the massive Arab shield in front of him and the shieldmen behind it in two. Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes were filled with fear. The Arabian Empire was a country of war, and all its armor and weapons were forged to the highest standards. The heavy shields distributed to the infantry were all forged from the finest quality of black iron. This material could not only block the full-strength charge of cavalry, but it was also extremely tough. Even the sharpest Arabian saber would find it difficult to scratch it. It was a well-known name in the Western Regions.
No one had expected that this giant Tang general would be able to cleave it in two like it was made of paper with a single blow of his sword.
"No matter what price we have to pay, stop him!"
"Axemen, shieldmen, archers, hurry!"
"Don't let him get close!"
… …
The entire Arab infantry formation was thrown into chaos. Li Siye's god-like stance and divine power had left all of them stunned. Countless soldiers raised their shields and swarmed over from all directions, wanting to block Li Siye and the opening. However, it was too late.
"Charge!"
The tens of thousands of Wushang cavalry followed closely behind Li Siye, their WuZi Steel swords slashing down on these famed Arab shields. Li Siye had only opened a small opening, but the moment the five thousand Wushang cavalry charged in, this small opening immediately became a massive gap, throwing the entire army into chaos.
Cavalry reigned supreme in the world and were the most powerful of all soldiers. No infantry without a shield to slow them down could possibly stop cavalry at their top speed. No matter how formidable the Arab infantry was or how skilled the Arabs were in battle, it was all the same.
Boomboomboom!
The charge of the five thousand fully-armored Wushang cavalry threw the Arab infantry formation into disarray. The Wushang Cavalry were the strongest cavalry in the history of the Tang Dynasty, the 'number one cavalry in the world'. On this foreign battlefield, they had finally displayed their unparalleled strength.
Even the warlike Arabs were incapable of stopping the charge of the five thousand Wushang cavalry.
"Ten Charges Ten Victories!"
Li Siye's voice thundered through the sky. Boom! The five thousand Wushang cavalry scattered like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden. The collapse, which had been limited to the area around the gap, instantly expanded by ten times, and it was still spreading.
"No!!"
Deep within the army, the Arabian Spear Umar trembled in shock at this sight, his entire face paling.
As a famed general of Arabia, Umar had subdued countless opponents, but none of them had given him such an intense pressure and threat as the Tang Dynasty cavalry before him. For the first time, Umar felt the aura of death. Although there were still more than forty thousand soldiers around him, they gave him no sense of security.
"The Mamelukes! Only the Mamelukes can deal with them! "
A thought flashed through Umar's mind, and at this moment, he thought of the most powerful and terrifying Mamelukes of the Empire. Only the Mamelukes were capable of crushing the Arab cavalry into such a state.
"All soldiers, hear my order! Focus your attacks on the Tang people!"
Although he was intensely shocked, Umar still did not give up, much less admit defeat. As the illustrious' Arabian Spear ', Umar had always been known for his toughness and tenacity. No matter how powerful his opponent was, Umar would never retreat. He would only have one choice: thoroughly defeat them.
"Twenty-third shieldman unit, twenty-fourth, twenty-fifth, and twenty-seventh shieldman units, charge forward and stop their battle!
"Seventh infantry unit, ninth infantry unit, tenth infantry unit … all lines, advance!
"Everyone, no matter the cost, we must stop those Tang people."
… …
Umar straightened his back, his gaze sharp, and a series of orders came out of his mouth. The entire army swiftly began to move in accordance with his orders. In all of the Arabian east, only Umar could think clearly and methodically in the face of the charge of the Wushang Cavalry.
As one of the top-class Arab generals, Umar was well aware that while there were fierce soldiers, there were no invincible soldiers. Not even the strongest Mamelukes of the Abbasid Caliphate were omnipotent. The most frightening aspect of cavalry was their speed. If he could slow down the speed of a cavalry charge, then no matter what kind of cavalry they were, they would be no different from ordinary infantry.
If he couldn't slow them down, then he would use human lives to make up for it.
This was the simplest strategy Umar had in mind.
Roooar!
"For General Umar!"
"For the empire!"
Countless savage faces appeared around him. The ferocity of the Wushang Cavalry had not only failed to force the Arabian army to retreat, but only stimulated their fighting spirit and killing intent. Countless Arabs surged forward. The Arabs' belligerence and savagery were on full display at this moment. The Tibetans were warlike as well, but they paled in comparison to the Arabs. They were on completely different levels.
The Ouzan had a limit to their belligerence, and their belligerence was buried in their blood, but the Arabs had no limit. Their belligerence was buried deep in their bones. The two were on completely different levels.
