Chapter 824: Uighur Cavalry vs Tang Infantry (3)

"What's that black thing?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a rejection."

"Haha, you're going to laugh at me to death, what are you doing behind the rejection horse? Blocking the retreat of the Tang infantry? ”

"These Tang soldiers are really stupid, don't care, kill them all!"

"Kill!"

Riding on their horses, the Uighur cavalry could vaguely see something black lying on the ground behind the Tang infantry phalanx, but they didn't know what it was.

Out of contempt, the Uighur cavalry was filled with ridicule, but with someone taking the lead, the entire Uighur cavalry phalanx was filled with earth-shattering shouts of slaughter.

The Uighur cavalry, skilled in horsemanship, drove the horses to increase their speed, and the cavalry, which at first looked imposing, suddenly gathered into a dense charging formation.

The sound of horses' hooves grew heavier and heavier, and as the Uighur army began to charge, the tremor made the hearts of everyone present tremble.

Many people's palms began to break out in cold sweat, but seeing that Liu Kui, the commander, still had a unchanged face, these soldiers were reassured.

"Five hundred steps!"

"Four hundred and fifty steps!"

When the observer said that it was only four hundred and fifty paces, Liu Kui seemed to feel the sound of horses' hooves echoing in his ears, and immediately raised his hand: "Soldiers, let us teach the Uighurs a lesson today, let them know our determination and strength to return to the Western Regions, long live the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Long live Datang!"

The sound of neat shouts overshadowed the sound of horses' hooves for a while, and then Liu Kui ordered, "Ignition... ”

"Boom, boom...

The 12 guns in the first platoon ignited, and the flames and smoke rushed out of the muzzles, and then the officers of the artillery unit took over the command and ordered the 12 guns in the second platoon to open fire, "Ignition... ”

"Boom, boom...

The entire Uighur charge was hundreds of meters wide, but the 12 guns were a little sparse and could not cover all of them, and they began to use solid buckshot.

The Uighur cavalry, which had already begun to charge at full speed, watched as the iron ball whizzed towards them.

The people at the front are the most dangerous, so they are eligible to wear armor.

Moreover, the Uighurs in Western China were not as powerful as the Qarakhanid Dynasty, and although there were some workshops, they were not good in size and technology.

After gathering the equipment of 4,000 heavy cavalry, it is impossible to provide too good protection for the other soldiers.

The troops directly belonging to Fugulin are okay, at least the front of the soldiers in front is still iron, although it is simply sewn together with cowhide, but it is much better than the leather armor directly used by other tribes, or even without armor.

Buckshot rushed into the crowd, and then there was a chaotic sound of ping-pong, and limbs and blood paved a bloody path.

Even the formation of the charge is very wide, but the charge of tens of thousands of people is still very dense. Eventually, the Uighur cavalry in front could only watch the lead bullets whizz in, praying that their luck would not be so bad.

Although the damage caused by a round of shelling was not large, and the vacant places that appeared were quickly filled by others, the morale impact caused was not small.

You must know that the two thousand heavy cavalry rushed in the front and middle, but the heavy cavalry still couldn't stop the lead bullet.

As soon as the lead bullet flew over, even the heavy cavalry in full armor would be smashed and vomit blood, and the war horses below could not stand the impact.

And because the formation is so dense, each buckshot can hit at least one person.

And seeing that the first round of shelling was not very effective, the officer hurriedly ordered the already prepared artillery to continue firing.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom."

A buckshot suddenly hit the head of one of the Uighur heavy cavalrymen, and a crisp sound was heard, and the head of the heavy cavalry was knocked off a piece, and the whole person fell directly off the horse, trampled into mud by the hooves of the horses behind.

And the lead bullet was castrated, and it still smashed into the soldiers behind.

The soldiers behind wanted to dodge, but the war horses under their command were hit, and then the war horses fell down in pain, and the soldiers were directly thrown off their horses, like a drop of water falling into the pool, and they couldn't even splash a little wave.

The rate of fire of the artillery was still slow, and the distance was quickly reduced by hundreds of paces.

Seeing this, Liu Kui ordered the artillery to be replaced with shells, and the crossbowmen also began to counterattack.

A few rounds of artillery, the casualties caused were only a few hundred, but on the opposite side were 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry charges.

Although the Uighur soldiers at the front had a shadow of the lead bullet, their hearts began to get excited when they saw the Tang army's infantry phalanx getting closer and closer, and they all clenched the scimitars in their hands.

In their eyes, the spear array was nothing more than a small ridge that a war horse could fly over with a casual leap.

But then the whistling sound in the Tang army's camp 'chirped', and then they saw a rain of arrows coming, and the intensity was incomprehensible.

In the face of this dense rain of arrows, for a time the Uighur cavalry in the front turned on their backs, and the horses behind continued to charge, and many people were directly tripped by the friendly troops in front.

Just as the cavalry had just rushed through the obstacle created by their own corpses, there was a dense rain of arrows, and the bullets and rockets.

And when the servants and others who were supervising the battle in the rear saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned, especially what was the explosion?

Thinking of the previous explosion in Datun City, they seemed to realize something.

It can be said that a hundred paces became a forbidden area for the Uighur cavalry.

From the time of the charge to the present day, the Uighur cavalry suffered heavy losses between 300 and 100 paces, and there were ownerless horses everywhere, and very few rushed into 100 paces.

Although it is not known how much was lost, there were definitely two or three thousand people.

"Great Khan, either retreat. The rain of arrows of the Tang army is too powerful, this must continue to rush, even if we rush into the camp of the Tang army, we will suffer heavy losses. Someone suggested.

"You can't retreat, if you retreat, you'll be defeated. Find a way to let the heavy cavalry rush out a bloody way for Ben Khan, as long as you rush into the infantry phalanx of the Tang Army, we will win! ”

Although the losses of a few thousand people were large, they did not have to give up. Giving up now, although he can get out of the way, the impact on morale is too great for him to allow, and the Uighurs of Western China will not allow this situation to occur.

。。。。。。

"This time the Hulls are quite hard, is it so desperate? Pontus wants to see how many more people there will be when your cavalry comes in. ”

Liu Kui took the telescope and looked at it, especially those clear scenes, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, this time the Hugurs are really hard enough.

"Daduhu, what are you looking at? Is that? Wei Chi came over at some point, and when he saw the wooden stick in Liu Kui's hand, he was a little puzzled.

"This? It's called a telescope, invented by the Holy One, and you can see far away, and you can look at it, that's how you see it. ”

Liu Kui immediately handed the telescope to Wei Chiji, who hurriedly followed it with both hands and put it in front of him according to the method Liu Kui said.

He was startled when he first saw it, "Why is it so close?" ”

After getting used to it for a while, he learned how to use the telescope, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his stomach was a little tumbling...

"Hell on earth!"

"Is Loulanhou still worried now?" Liu Kui asked.

"If this is the case, even if the Uighurs can rush in, the cavalry momentum will be greatly weakened, and there is nothing to fear." Wei Chi nodded.

If the infantry phalanx cannot withstand the momentum of the cavalry, it will be defeated miserably, and in the end the infantry will become lambs to the slaughter under the cavalry.

But the cavalry momentum was gone, and the advantage was much less.

However, Wei Chi was also a little puzzled, "But even so, we can't keep the Uighurs." ”

Liu Kuiwan smiled, "Could it be that Loulanhou forgot the cavalry behind my army?" You say they're going to come out suddenly, what will be the result? ”

"What result?".

Only then did Wei Chi remember that there were still 10,000 elite cavalry dozens of miles behind him, and he looked at the state of the Uighurs in front of him.

Thinking of this, Wei Chi couldn't help but tremble, that scene...
