If it were any other army, they would have been in a panic at this moment, but they were facing the powerful and battle-hardened Tang army, so they were destined to hit a wall tonight. They had faced countless attacks from enemies from various countries, and they had already come up with a set of response plans.
The people at the gate of the military camp immediately began to sound the alarm, and the others quickly moved towards their team leaders. When something like this happens, you must not run around. As long as your tent has not been set on fire, you should continue to stay around the tent. If you run around the entire military camp, it will not only be irresponsible to your own life, but also to the lives of others.
If your tent is on fire, under the leadership of the team leader, put out the fire immediately if it can be put out. If it cannot be put out, immediately carry combat supplies and turn to the next team.
This kind of training is not just talk, it has been carried out countless times in normal times. Many soldiers have their own muscle memory. The Gaochang army was a little chaotic. After all, they suffered a lot of attacks, but after a few minutes, it basically calmed down. Sima Jun had a face full of fat. I haven't thought about how to deal with you yet. I didn't expect you guys to come to my door. In this case, don't go back tonight.
For others, if they attack us in the middle of the night, we will be unprepared and may be caught off guard. But for Sima Jun, he likes this way of doing things very much. If you all hide in the city, I may not be able to deal with you when you attack the city, and we may suffer heavy losses.
Sima Jun has thought of many ways. He hopes to attract a group of people out of the city tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Unexpectedly, none of our methods came in handy. You actually ran here by yourselves. Anyway, there is no other city within a hundred miles around you. One less person died today, and one death means that the resistance of your city will decrease by one point.
A red flare was fired into the sky, and all the troops immediately understood what was going on. They formed a circle in units of thousands. The enemy was about to attack the military camp, and they should be led by heavy cavalry. We should place shields on the outside and station musketeers in the back. If anyone comes in later, we will give them a hard time.
Sima Jun has observed that the periphery is densely populated, with a population of at least more than 10,000. In this case, if we try to annihilate them outside the camp, it would probably be impossible, so we have to let these people in. Each team of a thousand people is like a hedgehog. As long as you dare to rush over, we will have plenty of opportunities to kill you.
The surrounding fires were also bright. The Byzantine cavalry outside saw that there was a fire inside. Without knowing the situation inside, three thousand heavily armored cavalry rushed in. Both the men and horses were wearing armor, and they directly knocked open the fence. They thought that according to their script, they could directly kill from the south to the north, and the war would be won.
Unfortunately, they ran into two circles head-on. The people inside kept firing gunpowder. The speed of the bullets was astonishingly fast. Many people had not yet understood what was happening when their armor had been penetrated. Moreover, after being penetrated, it seemed that the people behind them were not safe either. The penetrating power was really too strong.
The people of the Byzantine Empire received a warning that the Tang army was about to attack them, and they had even told them where to set up camp, so these people launched a surprise attack in advance. As for the happy days of the past six months, they certainly understood what was going on. The reason why the people of the Arab Empire did not come to attack them was because they were defeated by the Tang army.
But there is no war between us and the Tang Dynasty, so why are you attacking us? These people don't understand this principle, but they do understand one thing: to strike first is to gain the upper hand. Since the Tang Dynasty army is more powerful than the Arab Empire, we should cut off one of their hands first to let them know how powerful the Byzantine Empire is. Maybe these troops will withdraw.
The preparations at the beginning were quite thorough and the progress was very good. The army had already rushed in, but what happened next made them dumbfounded. The Tang army's invincible weapon, the muskets in their hands, was now firing at this group of unprotected cavalry.
There is no need to fire volleys, just fight on your own. The cavalry itself is a big target, and now they are crowded together. Each of our bullets can take one person's life. If you are lucky, you may be able to take away two or three people.
Everyone is very happy about such a result. They have been longing for war, but they didn't expect that war would come like this. Now that you have come to our doorstep, there is nothing more to say.
For the people of the Tang Dynasty, they have wanted this war for a long time. After all, the Arab Empire only uses vassal troops, and our swords are almost rusted. Now you have come to the muzzles of our guns, and we can't blame you for this.
The Gaochang army and the Tuyuhun army also performed well. They knew that their combat effectiveness was not strong enough, so they quickly moved closer to the Tang army and eventually formed a solid prototype. Although the surrounding Byzantine cavalry wanted to break in, their several assaults did not produce any results except leaving hundreds of corpses.
The Byzantine general also realized that if the heavy cavalry couldn't break in, it would be even more impossible for the remaining people. Fortunately, this guy was smart and immediately ordered his men to retreat. If they hadn't retreated, they might not have been able to escape.
When the heavy cavalry retreated, the infantry in the rear did not receive any orders at all. According to their thinking, the camp in front was already on fire, and then we should rush over and harvest the heads of those Tang soldiers. But why did our heavy cavalry run back?
Unfortunately, these people had no time to figure it out. The heavy cavalry were busy escaping. Even if our comrades were in front, they had to pass through. Those people behind were simply devils. They used those glowing and sounding things to rob a lot of our lives. If we ran slowly, we would have no chance.
