the two armies lined up on the flat plane next to the river talus not far from the city bearing the same name accounts of the battle differ greatly, but according to the most consistent estimates by modern scholars ziard commanded up to forty thousand troops he placed archers in the front with several rows of spearmen just behind and a mix of heavy and light cavalry on each flank as well as a contingent of light cavalry along with his own heavily armored bodyguard contingent in reserve meanwhile cow took to the field with thirty thousand troops he mirrored the abbasid formation with his grass bowmen in the front mixed with regular archers supported by heavily armored tang spearmen in the center an nomadic mercenary horseman on each flank while the fergana contingent and his own bodyguards were further back as the vultures circled above the two commanders cautiously contemplated their moves what happened next is a matter of debate, but according to one account cow ordered his projectile division forward to probe for weaknesses in the adversive line zad responded and a brief exchange of projectiles followed thanks to superior missile technology tang crossbowmen soon prevailed and the abbotted archers were forced back cow promptly ordered his spearmen forward the tank commander relied not for the first time on the empire as well drilled professional troops the trees rattled as the discipline chinese heavy infantry rumbled forward in unison packed in a tight formation close behind mounted mercenaries followed in support of the infantry ziard moved his numerically superior infantry forward hoping to slow down the enemy's advance and give his own cavalry more room to maneuver as the gap closed the troops in either line gripped their weapons and braced for impact as the opposing armies interlocked, hacking and stabbing at each other the centre blood quickly filled the air signaled his cavalry on the flanks to gallop forward and encircle the abbasid infantry the ad immediately sent his heavy and light cavalry divisions forward to alleviate the pressure on his infantry and repel the chinese advance in the centre the better armored tang spearmen pushed their counterparts back their packed formation proving effective against the abbasid footman on the flanks ziad's heavier cavalry stops the nomadic horsemen in their tracks, but cow's mercenaries held strong in the face of an assault from a superior enemy force the governor of samicand then sent his reserves forward aiming to break the stalemate he ordered his cavalry to aim for the immediate flanks of the chinese infantry, but cow meanwhile moved his own reserve up the field negating the efforts of his opponent both armies matched each other's strength and neither would waver tiredness however, was what eventually forced the two commanders to withdraw and rest their troops a similar stalemate continued for two more days with sporadic skirmishes and head on clashes, but neither side was able to make any significant gains the other account of the battle however, claims that the two armies stood in battle formations for four days without engaging each other perhaps neither side wanted to risk losing their army aware that it would take a while to get reinforcements in this remote frontier region but perhaps unbeknownst to kao prior to the battle zierd had established contact with a contingent from one of the turkic carlook tribes living in the steps further east recruiting them into his ranks as small groups of riders trickled in for a couple of days the muslim commander concealed them in the tall grass across the talas river then on the fifth day of the battle ziard knew he was ready he ordered his archers and spearmen forward with cavalry following close behind the abbasid's advanced at a strong pace while cow had his troops slowly move forward into position projectile contingents of the two armies began exchanging volleys of arrows with the chinese getting the better of their muslim counterparts the earth groaned as the mass of abbasid troops moved forward to meet the enemy head on as the infantry in the center clashed cavalry divisions on the flanks widened their lines trying to outflank each other soon however, the abbasid cavalry managed to force the chinese mounted troops into a brutal static melee as cow's nomadic mercenaries couldn't fain retreat without exposing the flanks of the infantry in the center now is the time the ad cried out signaling the carlook mercenaries to attack emerging from the reeds the nomadic riders galloped forward a handful of tang officers spotted the enemy on their flank, but with nearly all of their troops engaged they desperately tried to form a line with men from their own retinues moments later arrows from the east started whizzing overhead with the talas river behind them the carlook horseman charged headlong into cows flank the morale of the tang troops on the left broke and many tried to flee fearing an encirclement ziad urged his men on not wanting to allow the enemy to escape the governor of samikan outwitted the tang commander and now the chinese troops began falling in their thousands as the abbasid army through their formations with very few survivors left cow ordered a retreat however, chinese sources contest this outcome claiming that it was not zaid superior diplomacy and tactics that won the day rather the tang account of the battle claims that the carlook mercenaries were not across the river, but were in fact under cow's command laying blame on them for the defeat after they treacherously switched side mid battle and attacked from both flanks if this were true cow's ten thousand infantry made up only a third of the tang army and would stand no chance against twenty thousand carlooks, but in actuality it's most likely only that both the tang army and the abbasids at contingents of carlooks in their ranks and that ziard managed to launch a surprise attack on the last day of the battle whatever, the case of the thirty thousand tang troops that fought at talus only a small percentage survived in the aftermath of the battle of talus, the significance of its outcome was not immediately clear strategically speaking the battle was a tactical draw cow's plans for a renewed invasion never came to fruition since the tang empire temporarily withdrew most of their troops east to deal with growing unrest in the north and south of the country as well as tibetan incursions that put further pressure on the empire meanwhile the eastern expansion of the caliphate was halted while the abbasids could have theoretically pressed their advantage after such a crushing victory at that time their supply lines were still not fully established thus sending a large army east would not have been a prudent move as a result the abbasid chinese border stabilized, but the battle of talas seems to have gone largely unnoticed by contemporary chinese and abbasid chroniclus nevertheless it had important consequences the chinese empire was no longer in any position to interfere in central asia, which meant that in the wake of their victory, the abbasids were there to stay and while the turkey and persian population of central asia certainly did not convert to islam right after the battle in 751 by driving out the chinese, there was no longer account await to the muslim presence, which allowed the abbasids to gradually spread their influence across the deserts mountains and steps of the region within the next 250 years most of the formerly buddhist hindu, zoroastrian and historian christian tribes of central asia had all become muslim but perhaps most significant of all among the prisoners captured after the battle were chinese artisans skilled in the art of paper making soon paper mills appeared in muslim urban centers across the middle east and over the coming centuries the technology spread to europe as well fueling advances in science and theology。

公元七五一年,大唐天宝十年秋,一场惨烈的战役打破了维持的均衡。 两大帝国军队的遭遇战,后世称为达罗斯之战。这是一支被打散的唐军小队属高先知所不,在贵兵与大事人的追击下趁乱突围。 此时他们也许没有意识到在茫茫大漠里隐藏着怎样的危机。 这只小队衙兵怀中有重要的军中渔途,其衙兵的身份也让他对其他官兵鄙夷不懈。 小队里也有土拨仆从军。在当时效命的唐军中,翻帮人较为常见。 此时边军们讨论起失利原因。在后世的史料记载中, 唐将高先知率联军长途奔袭,深入七百余里,在达罗斯与敌军遭遇 决战。相知五天之久后,因格罗陆部中突然反叛,与阿拉伯军夹击唐军,导致高先知失败,只剩下数千人返回。 也许敌人没有放弃猎杀这些贵兵的机会,他们尽管在箭头沾满了致命毒液, 但是唐军的铁甲无法被击穿。大石人用吸毒和粪水以及毒草混合的方法来尽可能的杀伤永生力量。众人警觉的嗅到了危机, 这次偷袭让小队的成员不会忘记他们还在敌国的危机。啊啊 啊! 剑石深深的插在崖冰的眼窝上, 几日的劳累紧张让不同阶层的冰室爆发了冲突。外在的敌人很可怕,内部的凝聚也固然重要。 一望无际的荒漠,一个女人因为战争,似乎喜欢把不相关的事物会联系在一起。这是当时的随军家眷, 数阵兵士都会有官府来分配土地,并可以携带家卷马格国师是战士们的骄傲,可七女呢,承载着太多苦痛。哈哈哈,你们终于回来了, 都死了! 虚惊加速打散了,只有他一个人逃了出来。走吧, 往往看到生机的时候也是危险的到来。 大师弓手已然不想放过这些唐人, 处处被动的小队众人看着近在咫尺的大唐国土,毅然的杀向敌人。 血与肉,恨与苦!杀红眼的众人仿佛又回到了数天前的达罗斯城,每一次的拼杀都为了以死去同袍血恨。 啊啊啊啊! 亚兵死了,他没有想到自己的余图空空如也,也许自己才是真正的皮肤 素特人向导在最后揭开了他真正的面具,他背叛了大唐,也背叛了自己的灵魂。 千百年后倒在此处的重任终究化为皑皑白骨。也许被 被后人发现的时候,才会想起曾经的大唐将士。 冥冥之中,余徒被巡逻的大唐边军将士发现了, 是上天给的机会以后再次出击反攻的时候到了, 这是大学军中,云童啊,我们施舍反攻啊!此片献给默默无闻,守护大唐盛世的将士们!

唐朝时的中国军队,无论装备素质、士气还是将帅能力啊,都达到了冷兵器时代的一个巅峰。你比如说唐军野战时常 的战争,风使阵,冲在最前面的是手直磨刀、勇猛无畏的轻装步兵,紧接着是步骑兵的配合突击,在后列则有攻毒手交叉仰射,直到完全击溃对方为止。磨刀的攻击力极为可怕,列阵时如强而进,肉搏时威力不减。 大唐的名将李四叶便是一员善始莫道的好手。唐朝在骑兵方面则是轻重骑兵相结合,一般使用马硕和横刀。唐 代改进了夜练技术,灌缸法取代了百炼法,使得铁质战斗更加丰锐。唐军的铠甲是以明光凯为代表的,唐十三凯重量更轻,但防御力却有所提升。当然,唐军还有一个杀手锏, 那就是唐军的抛射兵器弩。中国的弩早在秦汉时期便已独步天下,随后经过了诸葛亮等人的改造,使其变成了战场收割利器。到了唐朝则更加成熟完善,其射程与威力,能在百步之内穿透众甲。唐 唐朝的骑兵配上弩箭,基本上能保证对手一个照面之内就死伤三分之以上,这也是高先知最大的底气啊。公元七五一年七月,高先知的大军到达了达罗斯城下,但 城中已经有数千阿拉伯军抢先助手,唐军只好开始围攻达罗斯城,他们以弓箭手为前阵,长矛步兵为中军,后方和两翼都有骑兵保护。在战争的前三天,唐 唐军的弩箭发挥了巨大的作用,远距离对阿拉伯军造成了严重伤害。随后双方进行了步兵对决,虽然唐军略占上风,但阿拉伯人也是 强悍如斯,达罗斯城愣是打了五天都没有打下来。高先知和下属唐军都很清楚,此战必须重塑,五天还没拿下,那就应该撤了。但达罗斯已经到了强赌之末,所以他们只能赌,赌阿拉伯的援军晚点来,可惜他们赌输了。 巴士拉的东方总督艾布穆斯林率着一万先头骑兵赶到,在外围紧接的葛罗路部雇佣兵见事情不妙,直接溃散,导致唐军的阵脚顿时大乱。阿拉伯联军趁机里应外合,出动重骑兵突击唐军阵营中心。 连日征战的唐军在内外夹击之下终于崩溃,就连高先知也是在夜色的掩护之下才勉强单技逃脱。随后李四叶和段秀石也是带着残兵散勇,一起跑到了安溪都护府。此时的安溪只有四千将士,根本不是几十万阿拉伯军队的,对 高先知等人也做好了死战待援的准备,结果阿拉伯军队在击溃唐军之后,居然主动停止了进攻,甚至收缩地盘不再挑衅,这下把高先知给搞蒙了,敌人为什么不趁机拿下安息呢?其实原因很简单,达罗斯之战,阿拉伯帝国出兵二十万人,而 大唐军队只有三万人。三万人在五天的时间里面,让阿拉伯帝国付出了阵亡七万人的代价。虽然大唐也损失了一点八万人,可明眼人都知道,真正逃跑的高先知不是 失败者,他让阿拉伯帝国对大唐有了新的评估,这是一个了不得的东方帝国,没事千万别招惹。从两大帝国对决的宏观层面上来看,达罗斯之战只属于一次小冲突,双方在冲突之中都没有伤及根本,而且更加了解了对手的实力啊, 并且更加认真去酝酿之后的世纪大战。但可惜的是,此战过后的第四年,唐朝就爆发了安史之乱,国力一落千丈,再也无暇顾及中亚,世纪大战也就没得看了,对于我这种历史迷来说,无疑是残酷的。
