Chapter 1182: Vulnerable

Therefore, after Abu found out that the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty had arrived, not only did he not continue to flee, but he became a gambler and turned around and rushed back with only one hundred and ten cavalry. However, before he turned his head, he felt the earth tremble for a while, and then the sound of explosions sounded behind him.

It was as if the sky had fallen, and Abu was so frightened that his mouth grew and he looked back, only to see clouds of white smoke that had already spread. In the blink of an eye, the kung fu smoke ball was mixed into a piece of heaven and earth, and there was no end in sight.

"My god, this, is this the god of war from the heavenly realm?"

In Abu's mind, how could there be such a scene in the world? Although he had already understood that this was a cannon of the Tang Dynasty, which he had seen with his own eyes when he was in Zhangye, it was only a small-scale artillery bombardment after all.

Now, the Qin and Jin Dynasty launched a decisive battle against the Yusuf coalition army, and used all the cannons carried by the Western Expedition, and the scene of 10,000 cannons firing at the same time was naturally extremely shocking.

Most of the first firing of these cannons is to correct the point of landing, so the actual lethal effect is limited, but the deterrent effect brought by the momentum far exceeds expectations.

The Persian Cavalry Guards had collapsed at the first volley, and they had never seen such a horrible scene?

In this way, Abu suddenly found himself in an embarrassing situation, if he pursued forward, he might be hit by the cannons of the Tang Dynasty, but if he turned around, wouldn't it backfire?

In the end, Abu gritted his teeth and cautiously pushed forward, not only to ensure that he would not be too far forward so as not to be hit by the cannons, but also not to make the Tang people think that he was a cowardly coward.

In fact, Abu didn't have to be so careful, except for the first round, the several salvos of the artillery battalion were all fired towards the sky, and they were more just deterrents.

However, the Persian cavalry of Da Shi had never seen the spectacular scene of a salvo of 10,000 cannons, and the war horses were frightened first, and without the Tang soldiers attacking, they had already collapsed on their own and fled in all directions.

It wasn't until the sound of the cannon gradually died down that Abu gained the courage to rampage through the chaos, and after a few back and forth, everyone was beheaded several levels.

Abu became more and more courageous the more he fought, and even chased after the banner of the commander who fled westward, like a sharp dagger, and forcibly tore apart the cavalry arranged by Yusuf.

Zhang Yuanzuo, who was originally in trouble, was saved, but after a burst of cannon roar, he was suddenly surprised to find that Abu, who had fled before, chased a large number of Persian cavalry like a god of war possessed and killed.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanzuo of course refused to be resigned, so he gathered his troops and chased after him.

A cannon roared to open the situation, and the Tang Dynasty infantry was out of control like a flash torrent.

Yousufu had already heard the roar in Jiuquan in the rear, and he was also startled, but he immediately realized that this was a strange weapon that he had seen in Zhangye, and which the Tang Dynasty people called cannons.

Soon, news of the rout of the Persian cavalry guards reached Yusuf.

Yusuf's first reaction was not fear but anger, the combat effectiveness of the Persian cavalry guards was not low, and they were defeated in just a while, which can only show one problem, that is, they are also the same as those steppe barbarians, they did not do their best, but deliberately preserved their strength.

At this point, Yusuf has already become murderous, and he plans to carry out a purge in the army after defeating the Tang Dynasty army, regardless of the steppe barbarians or the old Persian nobles, as long as the yang is against the yin, let them all go to hell.

The only thing that can really be trusted is the big * Reebok ride.

Finally, the Great Food Infantry unfolded its formation, calmly and impatiently waiting for the arrival of Tang Bing.

However, what they were waiting for was a hail of scorching iron-core shells, and in an instant, thousands of iron shells bounced up and down again and again in the Great Food Army's array, and every time they took off and fell, countless human limbs and arms were broken, and flesh and blood flew sideways, which was unbearable to see.

These bloody scenes, Yousufu saw it in Jiuquan City.

He knew that the Tang Dynasty artillery was not easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that the power would be so terrifying, and after only a few rounds of salvos, the military array formed by his elite infantry cavalry was already full of holes.

What makes people's scalps even more numb is the white smoke that covers the sky after the cannon salvo, and it is impossible to see how many Tang soldiers there are in the billowing white smoke, only listening to the shouts of the mountains and seas, it makes people have an illusion, as if behind the smoke are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

On the battlefield, it is even more frightening that you can't see, touch, and only hear, just when Yusuf thought that the Tang soldiers were about to charge, the cannon began to fire a salvo again.

Until now, he was embarrassed to find that he had no way to deal with it.

At the same time, Qingxuzi viciously spat a mouthful of thick phlegm to the ground, rubbed his eyes red from the smoke of gunpowder, and cursed the slow recruit.

Since this expedition to the west carried hundreds of artillery pieces, experienced artillery was seriously insufficient, so a large number of new artillery was recruited, and the salvo fire had just been stopped, because of the lack of experience of the artillery, the barrel was burned red, and it had to be stopped for cooling.

Due to the cover of gunsmoke, the vast majority of the artillerymen only ignited and fired according to the military orders conveyed by the drums.

However, Qing Xuzi secretly pinched a handful of sweat, and at this time, they were less than two miles away from the front of the Great Food Army Array.

At such a close distance, if the Great Cannibal organized a wave of cavalry to launch a wave of attacks, most of his precious artillery would have to be lost.

However, the big cannibal was obviously stunned by the sudden artillery bombardment, and he didn't dare to rashly charge the Tang soldiers under the cover of the white smoke.

The cannon roared again, and Qingxuzi stuffed two cotton balls into his ears, which seemed to have no effect at all, and pressed his ears with both hands to prevent his ears from being deaf.

"Prime Minister's Military Order!"

The second round of artillery shelling was carried out seven or eight salvos, and the military order from the rear arrived, ordering the artillery battalion of Qingxuzi to immediately dodge the road, and it was time for the elite grenadiers of the Shenwu Army to appear.

The grenadiers of the Shenwu Army are elite divisions that have been reorganized after strict screening, and they have extremely strict requirements for physique, strength, and reaction ability, so joining the grenadier battalion has become the supreme honor of the soldiers of the Shenwu Army.

It can be imagined how terrifying the combat effectiveness and will to fight of such an elite division is, not to mention that after the battle began, the big cannibals have been pressed by artillery fire, and they have no power to fight back at all.

The rolling torrent crushed past, and any living creature that stood in the way of the grenadiers of the Shenwu Army would be ruthlessly torn to shreds.
