Chapter 40: Vulnerable

Behind Xue Rengui, the Datang Iron Cavalry was ready to go like a tiger out of the sky, launching a counter-charge!

The number of people on both sides is about the same, but the Tang Army's war horses are all nailed to the horseshoe, the iron horseshoe "clicks" on the ice and snow ground, and the hard ice and snow are scraped and thrown away by the horses' hooves, and the momentum is even better!

The people of Xue Yantuo also have horseshoes, but the extremely inferior iron-smelting technology makes them lack enough iron, and even the iron materials used to cast weapons are stretched, where are they willing to nail horseshoes to war horses?

Anyway, they have a war horse......

Between breaths, the distance between the two sides was only a few dozen feet, and the sound of shouting and cursing each other was clearly audible.

Xue Rengui took the lead, stepping on the stirrups with both feet, leaving the bumpy horseback in the gallop, trying to maintain stability, aiming at the enemy in front of him with muskets in both hands, and pulling the trigger.

The flint rubbed out the spark and ignited the arque, which quickly ignited the gunpowder, which exploded in the chamber of the gun, creating a huge amount of energy that pushed the lead bullet out.

"Bang"

There was a muffled sound, a puff of smoke rose from the muzzle of the musket, and a cavalryman on the opposite side fell from his horse.

Only then did Xue Rengui calmly take off the gilt boring of phoenix wings with one hand, hang the musket on the victory hook of the bird's wing ring with the other, sit firmly on the back of the horse, and rush into the enemy array.

Behind him, there was a burst of gunfire like bursting beans, and the Xue Yantuo cavalry who was charging at the forefront were shot one after another, and dumplings fell from their horses.

Then, the two armies took over.

Xue Rengui dragged the gilt gold boring of the phoenix wings in his hand horizontally, and the two "phoenix wings" that came out of the ridge cut an enemy soldier into two sections, and then stabbed forward with the momentum, with the impact of the war horse, stabbed another enemy soldier into a hole, but there was a "phoenix wing" to block, failed to pierce the piercing, and was forced to get off the horse's back, and he died with a whimper.

A phoenix winged gilt boring flew up and down like a dragon out of the water, and was danced by Xue Rengui to the tiger and tiger, and the enemy in front of him had no general, and they were all killed by him in one face, and the Tang soldiers behind him guarded his left and right, like a huge arrow into Xue Yantuo's array!

Gao Kan and Xi Jun buy and protect their two wings, the two horse lances are like poisonous dragons out of the hole, every time they stab out, there will be blood splashes, and the three of them form arrows, like sharp knives piercing into the defeated leather, hot knives inserted into butter, rushing forward, unstoppable!

*****

The moment Xue Yantuo was shot with a musket, his morale fell to the bottom.

I've never seen anything like this......

The smoke came out with a bang, and then our soldiers fell from their horses and died, is this witchcraft?

The most terrible enemy is not invincibility, but ignorance.

Faced with the unheard of and unseen situation, not only the soldiers panicked, but even the Dumozhi was a little confused.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound in his ears, and there was only the shadow of the Tang soldiers in front of the black, and the "hidden weapon" that flew from nowhere hit the chest of Dumozhi, and a huge force was like a sledgehammer in his chest, and Dumozhi was shocked, and then a sharp stinging pain came from his chest, and he reached out and touched it, and the leather armor on his chest had been pierced through a hole by a hidden weapon that he didn't know what he was, and the blood gushed out, and all his strength disappeared rapidly with the blood flowing out.

Dumo snorted, boundless fear hit his heart, raised his hand and wanted to beckon the soldiers to retreat, today's Tang army has some gods and gods, lest something bad happen. However, before he could cry out, his body was no longer strong, and he shook a few times and fell off his horse.

He fell heavily to the ground.

The snow and ice on the ground were already softened by the horses' hooves, and their bodies fell up, splashing a cloud of ice and snow foam.

The soldiers on the left and right were shocked, hurriedly reined in the war horse, jumped down and helped it up, but found that the face of the Mo branch was like gold paper, the chest was dripping with blood, and the pupils of the two eyes had begun to dilate, and they were no longer alive when they saw it......

"Qu Shuai!"

"Qu Shuai!"

The pro-soldiers shouted loudly, and Dumo Zhi tried his best to open his eyes, used his last strength, and hissed: "Retreat, retreat, the Tang army is strange and invincible, Baidaokou is no longer able to capture, bypass Yinshan, and return to Mobei ......"

He's really aggrieved!

As a warrior of Xue Yantuo, it is common to charge in battle formations and shroud in horse leather, everyone is afraid of death, but everyone has to die in the end, and it is actually nothing to die early or late.

But he didn't even meet the face of the enemy, and he didn't know who killed him, and this kind of death was really unacceptable to him......

However, the rapidly disappearing life made his eyelids heavy and his will blurred, and no matter how angry he was, he could not recover the lost life.

"Qu Shuai!"

"Wake up!"

……

All Xue Yantuo's big and small qu shuai were stunned.

What the hell is going on?

Why is there only a thudding sound, and then our warriors fall from their horses and die?

Could it be that there are gods to help Tang Jun?

"What should I do?"

Qu Shuai, who was led by several people, looked at each other and was at a loss.

Not far away, the Tang Army's iron cavalry had already rushed into the defense array, like a red-hot spear piercing into the butter, invincible and invincible.

If you don't make a decision, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to escape......

"Withdraw!"

"Yes, it's not that we are afraid of death, but the situation is too weird, who knows if Tang Jun has used some ghost and god techniques? We are not afraid of swords and arrows, but the power of gods and ghosts, how can we be the enemy! ”

"Hurry up and run, the morale is low at the moment, and the Tang Army has unknowable means, no matter how late it is, you can't run away!"

"Running now, maybe you can still earn a chance to live, it is too far to bypass Yinshan, but there is always a glimmer of hope, it is much better than dying here inexplicably......"

In the face of low morale, several Qu Shuai only deliberated a little and made a decision.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

Several Qu Shuai got up and jumped on their horses, shouted again and again, and summoned their subordinates.

As for the corpse of Lamach, no one paid attention to it.

Xue Yantuo has a fierce temperament and believes in shamans, believing that the soul returns to nature after death, so there has never been a tradition of collecting corpses......

As soon as he slipped through the smoke, he turned his horse's head and retreated the way he came.

After retreating for a distance, I felt that it was not right.

is so straightforward, the Tang army in Xiangcheng must be attacked from both sides, wouldn't it be loaded on one end?

He quickly turned his head and ran towards the west all the way down the foot of Yin Mountain......

Xue Rengui led the army to rush all the way, and with a cup of tea, he killed through the enemy formation, looking at the thousands of cavalry fleeing in the wilderness, he didn't bother to chase it.

"Cleaning up the battlefield, taking prisoners in custody, and not abusing them, it's all money!"

General Xue was also damaged by Fang Jun, in the past, he was completely a cumbersome prisoner in the eyes of the Tang Army, and he wanted to chop them one by one, but now he is guarded like a treasure. As long as these young and strong Xue Yantuo warriors can survive, they are the strong laborers of the top, opening mountains and building roads, mining and smelting iron, each of them is a good hand, which is much easier to use than the people of the Tang Dynasty who were recruited and hired......

"No!"

Gao Kan excitedly received the order and turned around to command the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Not only were there a large number of wounded and undead captives, but there were also a large number of camp tents and baggage discarded by the Xue Yantuo people, and thousands of horses were captured just by the war horses!

Xue Rengui rode on his horse, glanced at the direction of Xue Yantuo's escape, lowered his head again, took the musket in his hand and checked it, and was so satisfied.

Of course, this musket still has such and such problems, but it is easy and convenient to face the enemy, and its lethality is not small, especially the sound and smoke when it is fired can disturb the enemy's horses and make the enemy's morale frustrated, and it is really a sharp weapon on the battlefield.

I heard that the Gun Bureau is developing a new musket, as long as the "bullet" is pressed into the chamber of the gun, it can be fired continuously even if you are riding a horse, which is really a big killer!

Where can I still use horizontal swords and spears to charge to the death in the future?

Stand in a line from a distance and shoot with muskets to kill all the enemies......

Just think of the brave Xue Yantuo cavalry charging in a neat array, and then the Tang army kept firing with muskets......

I'm looking forward to it!

It's a pity that this time the expedition was rushed and the ammunition carried was limited, otherwise we could really test what kind of power the "three-stage strike" had when it was against the enemy.

Only by waiting for Fang Jun to lead the army to catch up, it is possible to witness such a grand occasion.

Before, Fang Jun wanted to go straight out of the White Road and enter Mobei, sweeping Wuchuan and smashing Yu Dujun Mountain, Xue Rengui also thought that Fang Jun was whimsical and quick success. But now that the musket has been tested in actual combat, Xue Rengui found that the Tang army, which had such weapons, was almost invincible in the face of Xue Yantuo's cavalry......

Not to mention, there are also powerful weapons such as the Heaven-Shaking Thunder that are incomparably powerful when they charge into battle!

Riding back to the mountain pass, Xue Rengui ordered loudly: "After cleaning the battlefield, hurry up and make a fire, send scouts all the way to the south, meet the commander, and at the same time investigate the whereabouts of Dadushi, if there is any news, report it immediately!" ”

"No!"

The entire mountain pass was busy, the morale of the Tang army was high, and the fighting spirit skyrocketed!
