Chapter 405: The Great War One

The trumpets sounded and the drums of war rumbled.

Both sides of the temptation to end each other began to stand in battle.

The people of the Central Plains fought and pursued the "Art of War. The strategy of the Attack Chapter, although this beautiful boy named Sun Wu destroyed the battle etiquette before the Warring States.

However, Sun Tzu's writings on the art of war were highly regarded by military generals, and they were called sons.

Ten and surround it, five and attack it, and divide it twice.

Obviously, Ashinasi, the king of Dulu, claimed to be strong and strong, or had never read the war book, and it was taboo for soldiers to attack Yingzhou City, which was garrisoned by 50,000 dragons, with 30,000.

The vast and continuous miles of Turkic people gradually became clear in the eyes of the soldiers of Long Wuwei, and slowly approached Yingzhou City.

The siege equipment of the foot soldiers was gradually revealed, and there was nothing but shoddy ladders and clumsy chariots.

The Turks considered themselves to be the heroes of the steppe, and they had always been invincible, and they had always disdained the Great Dragon Dynasty that was guarded by their vassals.

To be impartial, in all fairness, the Han people are indeed inferior to the Turks in field warfare, and there are too many factors that lead to the fact that the Turks grew up eating beef and mutton and drinking mare's milk, and their physique is more than twice that of the Han who grew up eating grains.

In addition, the war horses of the Turks are even more powerful than those of the Han people, and the field battles are indeed incomparable.

The champion Hou Huo went to the Huns who were sick and could fight, and left the name of Feng Wolf Juxu, which was inseparable from the Heshuo grassland initially occupied by the Han people, and Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions to buy a lot of Dawan horses.

After several years of recuperation, the war horses of the Han Dynasty were not weaker than the Huns, and the weakness of the Han people was weakened, and the Huns had to flee in the wilderness.

However, the current Dalong is not as strong as the Han Dynasty, the Heshuo grassland was occupied by the Turks, the Silk Road in the Western Regions had lost control in the Jin Dynasty, and the Western Regions Protectorate, which controlled the 36 prefectures of the Western Regions, had long been dilapidated, and the Jin State was eyeing the Northeast region.

Being able to block the Turkic Jin State for hundreds of years without being able to go south in a small situation is already a big victory.

He even bravely went north, leaving an indelible Weihe military disaster to the Turks and the Jin people.

It was also at that time that the Turks understood that the soldiers of the Great Dragon Dynasty did not dare to go north to meet the enemy, but that the Holy Lord did not give an order to go north.

More than 20 years ago, 300,000 Great Dragon Six Guards could go out of the border pass in the north of the sky, and 20 years later, the Great Dragon Wuwei could also go north to the border with 300,000 people to fight bravely to kill the enemy.

It's not that the Han people lack blood, but that they are waiting, waiting for a holy decree, waiting for a decisive holy decree.

Just like the holy decree twenty years ago, the six guards came out together, and went north to shame.

Zhang Mad looked at the Turkic cavalry covering the siege infantry with a cold expression, and gently raised the shogi in his hand: "Fireworks." ”

Hundreds of torches lit up hundreds of battlements on the Yingzhou city wall, igniting fixed fireworks.

The sound of the explosion directly drowned out the rumbling of the war drums, and hundreds of fireworks flew towards the cavalry of the Turks with bright light, and the first use of gunpowder in military warfare was not artillery but fireworks.

For the first time, black powder swore an oath of his arrival in the hands of insolence.

The Turks did not know why this thunderous sound sounded from above the city of Yingzhou, and by the time they understood, they had been thrown high by their horses.

Although the fireworks have no effective lethality under Liu Dashao's control, they are filled with black powder after all, and the sound of exploding in the ears and the light of the fire are enough to make the horses and cavalry instantly deaf and blind.

In particular, the war horses were frightened by the explosion of fireworks.

The Turks, who have always ridden the best, found that the war horses they could easily control on weekdays were constantly calling.

Just the first fireworks bomb caused panic among the Turks, and Liu Dashao's fireworks were more than a dozen to dozens of fireworks, and the continuous roar bloomed beautiful flowers in the Turkic battle array.

"Needless to say, are our war horses' ears stuffed?"

"What? General, are you louder? The end will be clear! Huo Buyan covered his ears with one hand and approached Zhang Yan, the sound of fireworks couldn't help but make the Turks deaf, and Long Wuwei, who was standing on the city wall, also felt his ears buzzing, which was quite uncomfortable.

"Did I say that the contents of our war horse's ears are stuffed with cotton cloth?"

"The general rest assured, the war horses of the light cavalry and heavy cavalry are all plugged in their ears."

Finally hearing the general's voice clearly, Huo Buyan replied.

The explosion of thousands of fireworks bombs almost crushed the Turkic cavalry, and if it weren't for the Turkic cavalry pulling the reins tightly, the horses would have been gone.

Ashnamo, the king of the Lulu at the rear of the Turkic army, looked a little flustered: "What's the matter, what is the thing used by the southerners, bright as lightning and like thunder, is this a punishment from heaven?" ”

"King, tens of thousands of war horses are restless, it is not wise to look at the end of today's siege, why don't you change the time?"

Ashina sipped the horse's belly tightly: "No, if you delay it any longer, the war horse can't stand the weather outside at all, so she ordered the whole army to attack and attack the city strongly." ”

"Obey."

The general turned his horse's head with an embarrassed face and shouted to the trumpeter: "The king has an order, and the whole army will attack." ”

The sound of trumpets outside the city became majestic and powerful, and the Turks took their superb horsemanship to the extreme, dodging the fireworks above the city walls.

However, no matter how superb the riding skills were, they could not escape the power of the black powder, and the fireworks that were fired were so fast that they could not be concealed.

The war horses have not listened to the command, and many Turks have been shot directly in the face by fireworks, and the fate can be imagined.

Many Turks covered their faces and began to howl on their horses, which could be said to be unrecognizable.

Hearing the wails of the unfortunate, the Turkic Overseer commander pulled out the scimitar at his waist and slashed it down, and his head flew out, spurting his blood.

"If you dare not do the former, you will not be killed."

The Turkic commanders did not want to do this either, but those who wailed and screamed would affect the stability of the army's morale.

On the city wall, Huo Buyan's face was cold: "General, these Turks are ruthless enough, they even kill their own people." ”

Zhang Qiang also looked serious: "This is to stabilize the hearts of the army, they have made up their minds to die, today is a difficult battle, the herald Zhong Qiang, the eight bulls release the arrows, not a single arrow is left, all of them are shot." ”

"Order."

The bolts from the walls began to burst through the air and shoot at the Turks, who had long since been killed, and the resolute Overseer commander hardened his heart.

Facing the arrows, they began to attack the city.

The Turks, who were killed by the two-meter-long arrow, died without even letting out a scream.

But the Turks around him still gritted their teeth and rushed towards Yingzhou City with red eyes.

The effect of the rain of arrows was not obvious, and the Turks did not rush as hard as before, and would hold their shields for cover whenever the rain of arrows came.

But the rain of arrows on the wall of Yingzhou shot out as if they were not fatal.

Tens of thousands of archers shot tens of thousands of arrows every time, and the Turks suffered heavy losses and did not hesitate, and not a single one retreated.

At an angle that could not be covered by a rain of arrows, the Turkic cavalry began to gallop wildly, and the longbows in their hands began to return fire.

The one-sided situation took a turn for the better, as Zhong Qiang said, every Turkic was a marksman, and casualties began to appear in Yingzhou City.

And it was quite a serious casualty, this time it was not only 5,000 Turks, 20,000 Turks shot a rain of arrows that could not be underestimated.
