Flags are waving, gongs and drums are clamoring.

As the distance narrowed, Richard finally saw clearly what the first wave of Tufan soldiers sent from the opposite side looked like.

The military formation of Richard on the side was still the old way of the Tang army. The infantry phalanx was in the center, with the front row being a long spear shield formation, the back was archers, the two wings were swords and shield soldiers, and the outer periphery of the infantry phalanx were guarding the Ming border cavalry.

The elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty's border troops on the flanks can not only resist the enemy's flank detours and large-scale maneuvering raids, but also insert the enemy's flanks when the situation is in a turning point, expand the results of the battle, and even make a final decision.

As for the infantry of the Fifth Army and the infantry of the Shenji Camp, Richard used as reserves, with nearly 10,000 field legions heading in front, enough to block the enemy's first rounds of impact.

Since the expansion of the three field groups of the field legion are all veterans at level 1, their combat effectiveness has dropped very little, and Richard used all the captured iron armor to arm them, and the overall armor rate has exceeded one-third!

The first field team, which is the core main force, is even covered with iron armor, and the officers are even all medium-sized iron armor!

The main body of the field legion is composed of veterans who have experienced several major battles, and it is already a strong soldier in the Western Regions.

After all, in the Western Regions, the regular Tang Dynasty field troops have disappeared...

Either they were broken up or incorporated, basically there was no pure regular Tang Dynasty field troops in the entire Western Regions.

It can be said that excluding the unscientific combat power of the Richard soldiers, the Han armed forces in the entire Western Regions have generally dropped to a higher level than when the Anxi Protectorate was still there. The initiator of all this was the Tufan Kingdom!

If it weren't for the provocation of the Tufan Kingdom and the ambitions of warlords from all over the country, the essence of the Tang regular army in the Western Regions would not have been exhausted in such a short period of time!

Of course, Richard did not feel inappropriate about this. If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty's regular military field troops in the Western Regions who were cleaned up in internal strife, he would not have been able to have a smooth journey to capture cities and land!

By looking at the combat effectiveness of the first field team composed of soldiers of the regular Tang army that had been diluted, Richard can see how terrifying the complete field troops of the regular Tang army are!

The whimpering horn suddenly sounded, and the Tufan line on the opposite side approached the limit of the Tang army's strong bow range and began to charge!

For the Tufan Kingdom, the Tang Army was a good teacher. Unfortunately, the Tufan Kingdom was too poor and could only learn the Tang Army's military tactics as if they were like a cat and a tiger.

There were no iron-armored soldiers in the Tufan army during the charge, and they were all soldiers of the Tufan tribe wearing ordinary cloth robes.

However, these Tufan tribe warriors are screened and dare to fight. In addition to poor equipment and discipline, they are not much lower than the iron-armored soldiers of the Tufan Kingdom in terms of courage.

The formation of tens of thousands of people charging was very scary. In order to lengthen the cross-section of the battlefield as much as possible and not be half surrounded by the opponent, the field legions arranged by Richard were very shallow in depth and the front line was very long to resist the charge of the Tufan tribe soldiers all over the mountains!

"Hmph, no wonder the Tufan Kingdom has always been a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. These Tufan soldiers are not much better than the green skins in war."

Richard saw the sound of shocking the sky, but rushed forward but had no formation at all, and said disdainfully.

At this level, the Tufan army would not have the qualifications to fight against his field army if it had not been the number of people. Not to mention fighting against Richard's system headquarters army.

Richard is indeed worthy of being proud of today.

On the battlefield of cold weapons, when the army battles began, the commander basically lost control of the front-line combat troops, because it was difficult for the messengers to enter the front-line combat areas to find front-line officers to convey orders. Even if they were successfully conveyed, it was difficult for the front-line officers to restrain soldiers who had already been in a fierce battle.

Because of this, retreating on the battlefield is a taboo. You must leave enough strong troops behind the palace, otherwise it will be easy to turn the retreat into a defeat!

"For Songzan Gampo, kill!!!"

At this time, Songtsen Gampo accumulated a deep prestige in the Western Regions War, and many Tufan tribe warriors regarded it as a symbol of the rise of Tubo people!

Therefore, the fighting spirit of the Tufan tribe soldiers is very strong!

Amid the roaring shouts of killing, continuous rain of arrows rose from the ground, and the field army's strong bow equipment rate is not low. Except for the shield formation in the front row, all the archers behind began to shoot rapidly!

The Tufan tribe warriors had no armor at all, and most of their weapons were swords, guns, shields and swords. Although many Tufan tribe warriors who were good at shooting back, the Tufan tribe warriors who charged under the cover of arrow rain suffered a large number of casualties.

After the three-wheeled arrow rain, the casualties of Tufan tribe soldiers who were charging exceeded 4 digits!

However, the Tufan tribe soldiers, who were in high morale, continued to rush toward the field legion's front line, and the torrent crashed into the field legion's shield formation like a truck sprinting at full speed!

Rows of Tufan tribe warriors in the front line looked at the gun forest in the gap in the shield formation and rushed towards slowing down, but were pushed up by the crowded crowd behind. Even though they protected the shield, they were still penetrated into a sieve without any resistance...

Under such a large-scale charge, the soldiers did not dare to stop, otherwise they would either be pushed down and killed, or they would be crowded into human shields...

Because of this, the front row soldiers on the cold weapon battlefield can often get higher salary, and the wartime subsidies are also more abundant!

Some teams with strict military disciplines even require grassroots officers to stand in the front row and take the lead in charge.

There is no doubt that the officer taking the lead in charge will definitely play a great morale bonus to the soldiers under his command!

Even Shangguan is working so hard, what reason do you have to paddle?

And in this case, the confidence to implement military law is more strong.

Rows of Tufan tribe warriors continued to hit the shield wall of the field legion. At the same time, the Tufan tribe warriors behind them were also shooting arrows while advancing, causing a certain lethality to the field legion soldiers behind the shield wall.

The Tufan tribe warriors who bumped into the shield wall did not have any resistance. They stabbed cold weapons such as spears, swords, and other cold weapons from the gaps in the shield wall to kill the enemy. Although the exchange ratio was very touching, they could eventually cause damage to the enemy.

The morale of the Tubo people was beyond Richard's expectations. I don't know what soup Songtsen Gampo gave them. These Tufan tribe soldiers who were obviously used as cannon fodder to consume Richard's strength to open up the battlefield were actually persisted due to the tragic casualties!

Soon, the Tufan tribe warriors successfully broke the front-row shield wall with a price far higher than the enemy's casualties!
Chapter completed!
