Chapter 830 Reparations
Yes, just something that looked like a large eight-bull crossbow arrow. Each of these new weapons is the size of a bucket and a man tall.
Looking at these new weapons, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but ask Leng Feng: "I knew that this was a new weapon that the Thunderbolt Division had brought over for you to experiment, but I didn't know what this thing was for." I think its shell is iron, so it can't be shot out with an eight-ox crossbow. ”
Leng Feng lowered the curtain and explained, "You don't need a crossbow, just a launcher. To be honest, I really didn't expect that without my prompting, Zhang Zhongqing and Li Tai would actually design this kind of weapon. As for the power, it is estimated that one shot can kill one of our Gaochang city walls, and six or seven shots can raze the interior of Gaochang City. ”
The board car was carrying a weapon that Zhang Zhongqing named a ground-level thunder arrow. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a weakened version of the missile. The ground-level thunderbolt has its own gunpowder boost, which can carry out a slightly longer attack, and the concentrated gunpowder in the warhead in front of it is even more destructive than the normal ground-level thunder.
Although the power is not as powerful as the missiles of later generations because the explosives are still black powder, in this era, such weapons can definitely be called the "murder weapon" level. It is a weapon that can deter all the surrounding countries.
Hearing Leng Feng's description of the power of the ground-level thunder arrow, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
On the way of feelings, his carriage is walking in front of such a big killer....
"Are you going to let the grasslands suffer?"
After thinking for a while, Li Xiaogong said: "Although we suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Gaochang, the war was not as good as the common people. This thing is too lethal to be too terrifying to guarantee that it will not accidentally injure civilians. You're going to bomb all the way through, it's going to hurt the heavens and the peace! ”
Although he also hated the Turkic Western Regions and Tibet, Li Xiaogong still didn't want to see the devastated life.
Leng Feng smiled: "A powerful weapon doesn't have to be used directly against the enemy, as long as we show its power, we can deter the enemy." Unless they are really not afraid, and the head iron is tough, otherwise, how much do you think we will use? ”
Hearing Leng Feng say this, Li Xiaogong relieved himself.
The team of 40,000 people was very slow because they had to transport artillery and ground-level thunderbolts. After the Battle of Gaochang, the scouts of various countries did not relax, and they were still all over the city of Gaochang.
The advance of 40,000 troops could not be hidden. Of course, Leng Feng didn't think about hiding his whereabouts, he just wanted to take these 40,000 people and face the Turks in a bright and bright way.
The territory of the Ashina family was not far from Gaochang, and after only one day, they encountered the army of the Ashina family.
In late winter, the grassland is dry and yellow, and there is still snow in many places.
It was on this dead grassland that the Tang army and the army of the Ashina family met.
After the Battle of Gaochang, the Ashina family was also heavily damaged, and the army with combat effectiveness was less than 20,000.
20,000 against 40,000, it was impossible to fight, let alone that these 40,000 troops were equipped with a sufficient amount of gunpowder weapons!
Ashina Helu's face was ugly, he thought that the Ashina family would usher in the revenge of the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Before the post-war stabilization was completed, the Tang army hit the door.
In desperation, he could only come over with his sister to see if he could reach a contract with Datang.
He still had an extravagant hope in his heart, hoping that Leng Feng would look at his sister's face to calm the knife fight.
Inside the carriage, Leng Feng and Li Xiaogong were drinking tea.
Tang Jin knocked on the window of the carriage and said, "Sir, King Hejian, Ashina Helu and Ashina Ayi are here, and he wants to talk to us." ”
"Okay, let them come."
After a while, Ashina Helu and Ashina Ayi walked into the camp of the Tang Army and were ushered to Leng Feng's carriage.
"Ashina family, what do you have to talk to us about? If you surrender, the old man will definitely look down on you. ”
Li Xiaogong's voice came from the carriage.
Ashina Helu said angrily: "King Hejian, when we came to visit, we naturally wanted to discuss with you to see if we could reconcile. Not to mention that you hide in the carriage and don't show your face, and as soon as you come up, you humiliate us with surrender, what does it mean? ”
Although he was very reluctant to admit it, when Ashina Helu saw the configuration of the Tang Army, he really had the intention of surrendering.
These 40,000 troops are still equipped with sufficient gunpowder weapons.
If it really fights, the Ashina family will definitely lose.
Ashina Ayi patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and said to the carriage: "King Hejian, since ancient times, the way to quell the sword soldiers is nothing more than compensation, after the battle of Gaochang, our Ashina family does not want to start another war, as for how much compensation you want, you can make a price." ”
Li Xiaogong's sinister voice came out: "Compensation? Do you think you can compensate for the 80,000 soldiers who died in Gaochang? Don't forget, there are 10,000 Dragonscale Guards and 1,200 Dragontooth Guards! Heh, compensation? Even if your Turkic families add up, will you be able to lose? ”
"You...."
Ashina Helu was just about to get angry, but he was stopped by Ashina Ayi.
Looking at the carriage, Ashina Ayi sighed and said, "Protector Guogong, Leng Feng, you are also inside." Are you going to make the King of the River the head of the march and consult with us about this matter? ”
It is not a secret that Leng Feng is the head of the march.
In the carriage, Li Xiaogong glanced at Leng Feng and felt that it was better to let Leng Feng face it himself.
Leng Feng took a sip of tea and sighed: "I can't afford to lose, Ashina Ayi, if your Ashina family didn't participate in the battle of Gaochang, I can still let you go, after all, you have also traded with Datang over the years." However, since you participated in the Battle of Gaochang and unleashed your foolish ambitions, don't think about simply calming things down. ”
Outside the carriage, there was the sigh of Ashina Ayi.
She also persuaded her younger brother not to participate in the world's attack on the Tang Dynasty, but the other Turkic families agreed that their Ashina family could not be left alone.
After thinking about it, Leng Feng continued: "However, I can give you a chance, as long as you hand over Yuangai Suwen, I can give you three days to relocate. Three days later, any Turkic army that appeared in front of the Tang army would have only one result: annihilation. ”
"Hand over the Yuangai Suwen?" Ashina Ayi lowered her head.
Ashina Helu rolled his eyes and said, "Protector, you are a strong man, Yuangai Suwen is no longer in our Ashina family, how do you want us to hand it over?" ”
Li Xiaogong's sneer came from the carriage: "Not there? Then you can go back, and let's go straight to the fight. Ashina Helu, think about whether Yuangai Suwen is worth anything, or the army of your Ashina family is worth it! ”
