If the Tang Empire won, it would say to its opponents: "You damn well behave yourself in the future, or be careful that I wipe out your entire clan. Pay tribute obediently every year!"
<...At this moment, Wu Lin saw with his Thousand-Mile Vision that the defenses at the top of Fulousha City were becoming increasingly tight, and he knew that the enemy was unwilling to open the city gates.
Then let's launch a full-scale attack!
The Song army deployed its troops neatly below Fulousha City.
They are arranged in the shape of tofu blocks, neat and uniform in both horizontal and vertical directions, as if they had been measured with a ruler.
Long spears stood like a forest, gleaming coldly.
Clad in armor, it shone brilliantly in the sunlight.
The Ghaznavid soldiers on the city walls dared not look directly at them.
Further away, another formation was approaching this direction, spreading out to both sides.
Each person's armor was thick and sturdy.
The cavalry was also clearly divided into light cavalry and heavy cavalry.
The light cavalrymen were dressed in leather armor, carried long spears, and had maces and shields at their waists.
The heavy cavalry were fully armed, with sharp lances and sturdy iron armor; even their warhorses were covered in armor plates.
In the center of the army, there were eight large drums, mounted on sturdy wooden frames, with three burly men standing on each frame.
They were forcefully striking the drumhead, producing a deafening drumbeat.
Beside each wooden frame, a huge horn was added.
There were three buglers beside each bugle.
The powerful sound of the bugle resounded throughout the heavens and earth, stirring the blood of all who heard it.
The soldiers on the city wall of Fulousha were dumbfounded; they had never seen an army of such scale before.
Fruusa also had many veterans with extensive battlefield experience. Back when Ghazneh was still a vassal state of the Seljuks, they even accompanied the Seljuk army on a westward expedition against the Roman legions and fought against the arrogant Christians.
I've seen the heavy armored shock cavalry of Europe, and even large-scale battles.
They had seen enemy armies that outnumbered the Song army before them.
But this was the first time I had ever seen an army so well-equipped and marching so swiftly and orderly.
For some unknown reason, a sense of fear rose in the hearts of the soldiers on the city wall.
Twenty cannons were pushed to the front, with a solid defensive line of infantrymen forming the very front.
The two flanks were composed of cavalry, with crossbowmen providing support from behind.
This is a standard defensive troop deployment.
