Chapter 950: The First Confrontation of the Main Forces

The centurion of the Turks, when he was a teenager, entered the Central Plains horse market with his father in business, and learned some Central Plains language, so he sent out to shout and translate by the way.

It's a pity that Luo Zhaoyun doesn't talk nonsense with the Turks in front of the battle at all, this big battle is inevitable, long-winded, and being threatened by the Turks here will affect the morale of the infantry, so he went to war directly, and while the soldiers were not timid, they threw themselves into the battle.

The centurion was choked and went back to tell the words of the Dahua Emperor to Shibi Khan.

"Arrogance, I don't know whether I live or die!" Shibi Khan's face was pale, and he felt that the Dahua people were holding on to the death, and in terms of troops, the number of war horses, Dahua was at a disadvantage, why let the Turks admit defeat, otherwise it would be a dead end?

Some of the generals and tribal leaders around the khan were also angry, gearing up, filled with righteous indignation, and scolding at the front, nothing more than 'the emperor of the Central Plains is too arrogant', 'slaughtered these Central Plains people', etc., some angry roars.

"Khan, please allow me to lead the charge and tear apart the phalanx of the Great Chinese!"

"Please send the great general A Shigu to fight and let the people of the Central Plains know how powerful our Turks are!"

"Yes, Khan, please give the order to go to war!"

Some steppe tribe leaders and Turkic generals spoke one after another, and were rebuffed by the arrogant words of the Central Plains people, and they were all enraged, and they couldn't bear to fight.

Shibi Khan nodded slightly, they came here to attack Chang'an City and destroy the foundation of Dahua, so if they didn't get enough benefits, where would they easily retreat? What kind of talk is empty talk, it's just a threat before the battle, and then probe the other party's reality, and at this moment there is no such thought, his face sank, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's eye, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered an attack, and Ah Shigu was the general.

"Woo woo woo-" The Turkic camp blew the horn trombone, and the heavy horn sounded one after another, spreading throughout the phalanx of a hundred thousand troops.

Ah Shi Guda ordered 30,000 iron horsemen first, and as the vanguard of the impact, the horses swarmed out.

The earth shook instantly, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the earth, like a flood Jedi, majestic and irresistible.

Those Turkic knights who entered the Central Plains for the first time, saw the infantry formation of the Central Plains people in the distance, their faces showed joy and greed, in their consciousness, the Central Plains mud-legged infantry could not compete with the cavalry, at least in the grassland, the warriors who lost their horses could not resist the knights' attacks and kill.

The Turkic cavalry shouted, as if they had been blessed by Tengri, the god of the steppe, with great excitement and excitement.

Countless bright scimitars, iron forks, and axes were held high in their thick arms, shining with a cold and cold light in the midday sun.

"Kill! Kill--"The Turkic cavalry swept in, murderous, overwhelming pressure, and attacked head-on.

The Dahua soldiers were all bleeding faster, their expressions were excited, nervous, eager, or afraid, everyone's psychology was complicated, and in the face of such an iron cavalry force, there was really some great pressure.

The veteran Pei Renji was in charge of the shield phalanx, commanding nearly 30,000 shieldmen, axe hands, spearmen, hook and sickle spear formations, etc.

Because it is necessary to directly face the impact of the cavalry, it must be a veteran to sit in order to stabilize the military spirit of the front line, not to lose, not to retreat, with infantry armor, iron shields and axes, to form a great wall of steel, tenacity.

"Trebuchet ready!"

The cavalry team was getting closer and closer, and the rumbling hooves of horses were already ringing in the ears, like thunder, constantly roaring.

"Ignition, projection!"

The rear came to protect the er, and saw the cavalry rushing into the range of 300 paces of the trebuchet, and gave the projection order.

A soldier lit the fuse of the elliptical cannonball, and then it was projected by a trebuchet, using the principle of lever and spiral force ejection, these cannonballs were thrown out, and in an instant, more than a hundred cannonballs roared into the sky, with a thick black smoke.

Streams of black smoke fell, smashing into the Turkic cavalry, and the next moment, a huge roar was heard.

"Boom, boom!"

The cannonball exploded, and there was a blasting force, injuring all the knights and war horses within a radius of one or two feet, and flew out, with stumps and broken flesh, and collapsed everywhere.

Some knights were directly swept by the shock wave, flew out of their horses, and fell several meters away.

The same is true of the war horse, which rolls directly to the bottom, howling and screaming, and screaming in fright.

At this moment, whether it is a knight or a war horse, there are wailing and screaming, at least hundreds, even close to a thousand people are injured, although some are fatal, but they fall to the ground in a short time and do not get up, they are injured and roll, and the cavalry behind will also be affected, disturbed and knocked down by the frightened war horses in front, and the people turn over on their backs and roll into a piece.

"What is this? What a thunderstorm! ”

"It's the thunder of the Great Chinese people!"

"Dodge, dodge!"

The Turks were already in disarray, their morale was affected, and their courage was stagnant.

"Rush over, there are not so many such thunderballs!" Ashguta discovered that there was an interval between the shells, and this was an opportunity to continue the charge and close the distance, and not to be frightened by it.

"Kill!" The centurion and the commander shouted loudly, and led the team under their command to move forward bravely.

The Turkic knights continued to charge, and a wave of uninjured vanguard quickly rushed through the blasting zone and through the smoke-filled area.

"Ignition and re-cast!"

In an instant, another round of shells was projected, blasting and roaring.

The stumps flew around, the head burst out, the belly was blown open, the internal organs flowed out of the ground, the war horse also broke its legs and abdomen, and the intestines were splashed with blood.

The Turks had to pay a great price for every few dozen paces they charged, and after a few rounds of black powder shells flew out, they had already wounded thousands of cavalrymen and slowed down the impact.

Shibi Khan and others in the rear of the Turks, their faces were all a little unsightly, because the Turks were a little afraid of this kind of thunderous shells, they already knew that this was the black powder invented by the Great Chinese, and the steppe people also wanted to buy it, which could be used to blast the city gate in the future, but they couldn't get the formula, and they were in the steppe, and they didn't have the corresponding raw materials, so they didn't know how it was made.

"Don't worry, this kind of shell ignition and projection need some intervals, and the range is fixed, as long as you break through, it will not be affected."

"It makes sense, although there are some casualties, but compared to our 200,000 army, it is nothing!"

The Turkic generals and leaders were comforting each other, cheering each other up, waiting for the cavalry at the forefront to rush into the infantry phalanx, and at that time, it was the end of the Dahua army.
