Everyone on the city wall saw it clearly. When the cavalry from the left and right sides left the city, they thought that the Tang cavalry would come to stop them. Even if the two sides fought together, it would relieve our pressure. But the problem was that the Tang army at the south gate did not move at all. What was going on?
The city lord and his men were dumbfounded. According to their thinking, the Tang army should have come to stop them. Didn't they know the devastation of cavalry against infantry? While your artillery is powerful, the distance between them is too close. Could your artillery really stop the cavalry? Or were your cannons equipped with blades?
Obviously this was not the case, so they thought that the Tang soldiers had problems with their brains. However, the careful people on the city wall also discovered something, that is, on the left and right sides of the artillery, there were about two thousand people dispatched. These two thousand people carried a long black thing on their backs. They didn't know what this thing was for, after all, they had never seen it before.
"Charge! Charge! Tear them apart! Let them know how powerful our Arab cavalry is."
Lord Mahamil was already excited at this moment, and so were the people around him. Everyone believed that as long as the Arab cavalry was given the opportunity to charge, no matter how powerful the enemy was, they would not be our opponent in the end. We would definitely win this war, and no one could stop them from achieving victory.
The Tang Dynasty's artillery is indeed powerful, but what good is it? As long as our men can get close to your soldiers, when we brandish our scimitars, you will be defeated. When our scimitars are stained with your blood, you will know how terrifying the Arab Empire's cavalry is.
Many people on the city wall cheered. They saw a lot of dust rising on both sides of the wall. This was caused by their cavalry, and it was caused by their cavalry charging. As long as the Arab cavalry charged, no matter what obstacles were in front, it would be impossible to stop the great Arab cavalry. Now we just need to wait for victory.
Just as they were cheering, the third round of artillery shells hit the city wall again. A section of the wall had already cracked. Cracks could be seen from the top of the wall. Although they were only as big as a finger, it was also a bad sign. If the Tang army continued to attack, the cracks would become bigger and bigger, so big that they could not hold on.
The damage to the city wall is already visible. According to the city lord's estimation, this is the third round of shelling. During the fifth round of shelling, the city wall may collapse.
There may even be more serious consequences, but now their cavalry has already rushed up. At the latest, it will take half an incense stick of time for the cavalry to rush into the artillery column and then kill their artillerymen, leaving them no chance to continue attacking the city wall.
"Prepare everything. If a breach appears in the city wall, you must use all possible means to plug it. Never allow the enemy to exploit an opportunity. Buy time for our cavalry."
Lord Mahamil began to boost morale. If they had no chance or saw no hope, the soldiers on the city wall would not be willing to work because their efforts would be in vain.
But now the cavalry on both sides have entered the final charge stage, which has given them hope of victory. As long as our cavalry can rush in, then everything else doesn't matter. Even if you blow up the city wall, it is only a small section, and our cavalry can make up for it.
People on the city wall began to quickly transport various types of equipment. These things were used to temporarily repair the city wall. When a gap was blown in the city wall, they would throw these things in to block the gap first.
Careful people also noticed that the Tang army's artillery bombardment did not seem urgent. Even when the cavalry on both sides were about to approach them, they still fired at the same frequency as before, as if they were not afraid at all. Didn't you see our cavalry?
Or perhaps you simply don't take our cavalry seriously, or have you already found a way to restrain them? The people on the wall were filled with questions. They didn't know what these Tang people were thinking. Even if you showed a little bit of respect for our cavalry, we would still consider this a normal war. But now, ignorant fear enveloped everyone, making them afraid to move a muscle.
"Everyone get ready."
The voice of a Tang Dynasty officer was heard, but it could not be heard clearly on the city wall. All they saw was that the man drew out his sword, and then hundreds of soldiers on both sides raised the black pipes in their hands. Could that thing be used to shoot arrows?
In the eyes of all Arab soldiers, if they want to stop the cavalry, they must use bows and arrows, but their bows and arrows are too special, and at this distance, bows and arrows should be useless. Even if you people have improved them, or your Tang Dynasty’s technology is more advanced, but no matter how advanced it is, it is impossible to hit our people at such a long distance.
The galloping cavalry also saw this scene, and their hearts were in their throats. Could this be the secret weapon of the Tang army? You know, the Tang army is invincible, this is no joke. They have heard a lot about the Tang army before. Although the Arab Empire has blocked this news, the truth will eventually come out.
It was the first time for the recruits to encounter such a battle, and their legs were shaking a little, even though they had fired countless shots at the target before. Their superiors also told them that no matter what the situation was, they just had to remember how they were trained. As long as they could kill two or three enemies personally, then their team of a thousand people could kill two or three thousand people.
Killing two or three thousand people in a very short time, no matter how strong your enemy's fighting will is, they will not be able to hold on after all. In such a situation, they will definitely be the first to be defeated. It is impossible for any army not to collapse after losing two or three thousand people in such a short time. At least the Tang Dynasty army that conquered the world has never seen such a thing.
