Fakhrdin did not expect that Tang Ping and the others would take away the flag. He also knew what kind of impact it would have on the morale of the army if they saw that the flag was missing, so he quickly asked someone to hang up the spare one.
As a result, as soon as the person holding the flag reached the foot of the flagpole, his chest began to bleed and he fell to the ground.
This was naturally done by Xue Rengui.
Then Fakhrdin's soldiers rushed forward, trying to hang up the flag again. After Xue Rengui killed several of them, they actually formed a human wall again, tightly surrounding the person who was hanging the flag. .
Just when the handsome flag was pulled up a few meters high, Xue Rengui interrupted the rope holding the flag with one shot.
The soldiers who were hanging the flag below were dumbfounded. If they wanted to hang it up again, they could only climb up the flagpole.
But there is no wall to block the person climbing up, and even a shield is of no use.
How can this 7.62mm caliber sniper rifle be blocked by the shields of this era?
Everyone climbed to death, but there was no way to hang the handsome flag again. At this time, Lao Du used his own spear to snatch Lao Cui back and tied the handsome flag, and waved it outside the hot air balloon.
Tang Ping took a loudspeaker and shouted in Arabic: "Run! The coach was killed by monsters flying in the sky, and the commander's flag was taken away! The reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty are coming, run!"
The Arab soldiers just below the hot air balloon might still be able to tell that it was Tang Ping's shout.
But those who were a little further away could only hear the shouts coming from Tang Ping.
When you look up, you can see that there is indeed a monster-like thing in the sky. What is it that is not the flag of their Arab army waving next to it?
Now the mentality of fighting the Arab army has changed a long time ago. Although they have never fought head-on with the Tang Dynasty, it is an indisputable fact that Duan Zhixuan's army of more than 20,000 people wiped out more than 100,000 of them.
Therefore, the Arab army, which had never suffered a defeat in the past and felt that it was invincible, planted a seed deep in its heart, that is, the Tang Dynasty was at least an enemy of the same level as them.
At this time, many people began to waver when they heard that the coach had died, the commander's flag had been taken away, and reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty had arrived.
For the surrounded Datang Army, the offensive also slowed down.
And Tang Ping was still shouting from the sky: "Everyone, run quickly, the Tang army is going to set fire!"
"Oops, the Tang Army is going to flood again!"
During the battle, these soldiers could only see a radius of three to five meters, and they were surrounded by people. Who knew whether what Tang Ping said was true or false?
But the fire the Tang Dynasty set in Urayana City and the river it drew in Malava City had long been spread by the survivors.
Hearing Tang Ping shouting like this, some people felt weak at their feet and planned to run away.
The surrounded Datang Army also discovered this and began to use their last strength to launch a breakout charge.
Another hot air balloon lowered its height, and after picking up more than ten people, it dropped directly to the front.
When they reached the front of the breakout force, they were almost half a meter above the ground.
The propeller driven by the steam engine at maximum speed provided huge power to the hot air balloon, which rushed towards the encircling Arab army.
The dozen or so cavalrymen above were stabbing forward and left and right with their spears.
When Tang Ping saw this, he ignored the threat and followed suit with more than a dozen people nearby to do the same.
The supporting cavalry from the outside also took the opportunity to launch a charge.
The Arab military formation was finally opened by two hot air balloons flying close to the ground.
The Datang army behind them rushed out desperately.
"Where is Duke Fan? Have you seen Duke Fan?"
"Have you seen Duke Fan?"
Tang Ping asked eagerly, and finally a familiar figure came over.
Duan Zan anxiously pointed to the person he was carrying on his back and said: "Ping Guo Gong, my father was injured trying to save me, please save him quickly!"
In the army, Duan Zhixuan had always asked Duan Zan not to call him daddy, but now he was really anxious.
"Send the people up, let's go find Li Shan and the others!"
Tang Ping asked Lao Du to stop the hot air balloon for a while. The cavalrymen who had just come up jumped off and lifted Duan Zhixuan into the cabin.
Then Tang Ping and the others began to take off to find Li Shan.
But even though they ran out, the Arab army behind them had no intention of letting them go.
Even though the speed of the Arab heavy cavalry was not as fast as theirs, the Tang cavalry had been fighting for a long time and were exhausted, and they were stuck by the Arab cavalry that followed.
The Tang cavalry could only fight and retreat.
Tang Ping looked at it from the sky and felt that this was not an option. He controlled the drone to come behind the pursuers and played his voice loudly:
"The commander-in-chief has given an order. The Tang people are too cunning. Stop the pursuit!"
The key is that his high-tech simultaneous interpretation can also add different accents. This will use the sound emitted by the drone, as if there are several people shouting with different voices.
It was already dark, and the cavalry chasing in front could not see what was going on behind them. They heard a voice from behind saying that the commander had ordered not to pursue. Thinking about how cunning these Tang people were, they had no choice but to give up despite the overwhelming military orders.
Although the cavalry behind knew something was wrong, their shouts were not as loud as the sound played by Tang Ping's drone.
They were determined to continue the pursuit, but the cavalry in front stopped, so naturally they had no choice but to rein in their horses and stop.
By the time the heavy cavalry knew that the commander had not given such an order, they were already far away from the Tang cavalry.
This dark night can no longer catch up, so I can only give up.
Tang Ping took Duan Zhixuan to find Gou Shaoqun and Li Shan at the mountain col.
Seeing Tang Ping return safely, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
After hearing from Tang Ping that Duan Zhixuan was seriously injured, Li Shan put on his gloves and began to check Duan Zhixuan's injuries.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ping asked worriedly.
Li Shan glanced at Tang Ping, then at Duan Zan and said, "I'll do my best!"
Tang Ping was shocked. Li Shan didn't say whether he was sure or not, he just said he would try his best, which meant that Duan Zhixuan's injury was already serious.
It was all thanks to the smooth sailing along the way. Neither Tang Ping nor Duan Zhixuan expected that the Arab commander Fakhr al-Din would use this trick.
When he sent out 40,000 light cavalry, he had the intention of using them as bait.
Those light cavalry were best able to entangle the Tang army. If they were accidentally eliminated, he guessed that the Datang army would probably use this to repeat their old tricks, so he set up such a situation.
Tang Ping couldn't help much, so he walked aside and asked some generals who led the troops to break out.
Including the 5,000 people who responded to this battle, less than 10,000 people escaped in the end.
Moreover, almost all of these 10,000 people were injured.
Almost ten thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were lost here.
