The 3,000 "mujahideen" heavy cavalry, hired by the Karakhan people, was launched.

Behind them, there were more than 10,000 "Mujahideen" cavalry teams wielding big food scimitars and wearing light armor, the sound of heavy horse hooves was like muffled thunder, and 3,000 heavy cavalry with spears in their hands and more than 10,000 light armored cavalry guarding their flanks and rear charged towards the middle of the Tang army, and those war horses ran faster and faster, rushing straight to the Tang army in the cavalry formation.

Yang Jiye's eyes narrowed, staring at the spear-tipped jungle glowing with cold light in front of him.

"Yo ho ......"

The holy warriors who had come from the feast shouted loudly in their mouths, and the cavalry began to charge, showing an unstoppable and indomitable might.

More than 3,000 heavily armored cavalry charged, and the whole earth was clearly trembling with it.

600 meters, 500 meters, 400 meters......

"Artillery, put!"

Yang Jiye waved the saber in his hand violently and shouted loudly.

The artillery operating behind the artillery had already retreated to a dozen meters behind, leaving only the gunners who ignited.

After the order was given, the gunners lit the cannon with the wormwood sticks that had been lit in their hands, and sparks began to spray from the side of the thick medicine chamber behind the gun......

Rumble! Boom! Rumble......

The muzzle of the cannon spewed fire, and after a series of earth-shattering explosions, a finger-thick steel ball sprayed towards the charging cavalry battle array like a dense hail rain.

A large number of cavalry projectiles penetrated, flesh and blood splashed, and the cavalry team, which had been charging intensively, was strewn all over the field, forming a large gap after the shelling. As soon as they approached the Tang army, nearly 1,000 people were killed and wounded, so that the entire battlefield was stagnant, the wounded horses were neighing, and some of them were dragging the dead and wounded riders to turn around and run around on the battlefield.

"Musketeers, first platoon, ready!"

Under a round of artillery blows, the Karakhan cavalry had been reduced by more than 1,000 people, and the momentum of the charge was frustrated, and the speed suddenly slowed down. At this time, the enemy army had already rushed to a distance of about two hundred meters, and the big food mercenary cavalry who was attacking in front let out a series of strange screams, and the hideous faces were already clearly visible.

Yang Jiye, who was in charge of commanding the musket troops, rode on his war horse, quietly watching the cavalry of the Hu people surging like waves, but a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.

He raised the waist knife in his hand, and the spearmen marched forward, and two thousand muskets were raised in unison, and the black barrels of the guns were aimed at the overwhelming enemy soldiers, just waiting for an order.

"First column...... Put! ”

As soon as he gave the order, there was a loud explosion, and six thousand musketeers lined up in five rows, taking turns firing. The smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the Tang army's military formation was already shrouded in a cloud of green smoke, and it was impossible to see the situation clearly. Like a storm, the dense charging enemy cavalry formation was suddenly shot to the ground in a large area in the rain of bullets, and after the Tang army fired the fourth volley, the charging Karahan army had already suffered nearly half of the casualties, and the rest also turned their horses and fled in all directions.

Zhou Tingyu, who was on the right flank of the Tang Army's cavalry formation, coldly watched the movements of the Karahan army on the opposite bank, and saw that the enemy's main force had no intention of moving for the time being, so he immediately ordered: "Beat the drums, the whole army will attack!" ”

On the battlefield, the red flag was raised high, dancing back and forth, several huge war drums were beaten, and Shi Dang, who was located on the left flank, raised the long knife in his hand and roared after seeing the banner raised by the Chinese army, "The whole army is assaulting!" ”

On the side of the Chinese army, Yang Jiye also commanded the musketeers to retreat in turn, and then turned over and pulled out the war horses. In the blink of an eye, this musket unit turned into a cavalry unit, and to the muffled sound of war drums and horns, the Don army gradually rushed down the hillside and began to pursue the retreating enemy troops. More than 50,000 Tang and Khotanese cavalry, like three rolling torrents, launched a charge towards the Karakhan army on the opposite side with the momentum of thunder.

"Fire Thunder, Throw!"

The commanders of the Don Army, who were charging ahead, shouted loudly.

Thousands of ignited black leather balls, with a short rope, flew towards the cavalry of the Karahan army in sparks. When the horses were densely packed, the fire thunderballs made of raw cowhide like throwing stones in the hands of the cavalry were definitely a new weapon with great lethality.

Many of the Karakhan cavalry were still looking up with their heads up, looking strangely at these black balls that were steaming with sparks, they were obviously not stones, what could it be?

"Boom! Boom ......"

Hundreds of smoke-filled firemines fell into the dense cavalry formation, and for a moment, I saw blazing fireballs flashing from the enemy's cavalry formation, and shrapnel burst out. A large cloud of black smoke rose into the air in the military formation, and suddenly blood and flesh flew sideways, and screams rang out everywhere. The explosion of the fire and thunder was not powerful enough, the lethality was limited, and more of them were wounded under the flying shrapnel, lying on the ground and groaning in pain, and more of the Karakhan cavalry were even more frightened, and began to beat their horses and flee in all directions in fear.

When the dense explosions like thunder sounded, the Karakhan army, which had suffered heavy casualties, finally could not bear it, and the war horses fled indiscriminately after being frightened. Moreover, the Karahan cavalry, who accounted for the majority, felt that it was because they had converted to the Holy Religion and had been punished by the god of fire, so they simply dismounted and knelt down and prayed.

"Ah......h

The screams rang out one after another, and Aslan's eyes widened, staring blankly at the Tang cavalry in front of him who were wantonly slaughtering the fleeing West Asian "Mujahideen", and suddenly raised his head and let out a long roar: "Really...... God...... Yes! ”

"The Lord God, Ahura...... Forgive the betrayal of sinners! ”

Many of the Karakhis have lost their fighting spirit after the fire......

In contrast, the Karakhan army had completely lost its fighting spirit and began to scatter and flee towards the vast Gobi Desert.

The defeated army was like a mountain, but the Tang army did not give the Karakhan people any respite at all, the defeated Karakhan army scattered and fled like an attacked yellow sheep, the Tang army was like a broken bamboo, chasing and covering in the back, Aslan saw that the situation was not good, and under the protection of the pro-soldier troops, he turned his horse's head and galloped to the northeast, and no longer cared about the life or death of the team.

The red flag commanding the attack on the battlefield pointed to the volunteers who came from West Asia, and Murong Yanchao, the commander of the Qingtang Cavalry Division, waved the cavalry knife in his hand and shouted: "Kill all the great cannibals!" ”

The Battle of Shule was effectively over after a series of explosions, and the "Mujahideen" were the first to flee, and their defeat triggered the collapse of the Karakhan army. The Karakhan army was defeated like a mountain, the Tang army covered and pursued from all sides, blood flowed into a river, corpses were everywhere, and countless Karakhan soldiers knelt down and surrendered......

In the battle, the Tang army killed more than 15,000 enemies and captured more than 40,000 people, and Aslan only took the remnants of less than 10,000 people and fled along the Shule River in the direction of Qiuzi.

Tens of thousands of Tang troops were like a rolling torrent, rolling up the yellow dust in the sky, and drove to the city of Shule. The trembling defenders at the head of the city looked at the overwhelming Celestial Empire army below in horror, and they had long lost any fighting spirit and surrendered directly. Zhou Tingyu's cold face finally showed a rare smile, and as the Tang army marched into Shule City, this important border town that had fallen into the hands of foreign races since the middle of the Tang Dynasty once again returned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty.
