Chapter 142: The Battle of Destroying Jieli (5)
War in the age of cold weapons is undoubtedly cruel! The severed arms scattered on the battlefield were mixed with dazzling crimson blood, all of which were testing the psychological endurance of the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield who were fighting. However, warfare in the era of thermal weapons is not so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and a missile can take down the target in a circle, and for both sides of the war, the dead are just a string of numbers
What about war when hot weapons are against cold weapons?
Under the roar of their khan, the Turkic army rushed towards the camp of the Tang army not far from the opposite without hesitation.
And what about the Tang Army? Under Li Jing's order, he forcibly supported his trembling legs, picked up the weapon in his hand, and was ready to fight to the death!
"Kill !!!!"
The two armies are not very far from each other! In just a short time, those Turkic cavalry had already rushed to within five hundred meters in front of the Tang army's formation.
Riding on horseback, Li Jing tried his best to appease the BMW that stepped down, the impact of the 200,000 cavalry, not to mention that people have not rushed in front of you, just that earth-shattering momentum can already make you want to turn around and flee without freedom. As for the horses and livestock, they instinctively kept retreating
"The shield bearer raises the shield, and the archer releases the arrow! Grenade Battalion! Give it to me! ”
Seeing that the Turkic cavalry had approached the attack range of the grenade battalion, Li Jing hurriedly gave the order to fight.
With Li Jing's order, the Tang army's military formation suddenly moved. The shield bearer raised the huge shield in his hand above his head, and a thick wall of shields blocked the front of the Tang army, blocking many arrows from the Turkic cavalry for the soldiers of the Tang army. Don't be rude! The Tang people, who have always been educated by the thought of Confucius Dasheng, have a profound understanding of this truth. After these Tang soldiers saw that the Turks had rewarded the flying arrows with black pressure, they immediately raised their bows and arrows and shot them into the sky, and at that moment these Tang soldiers completed a throw, and tens of thousands of sharp arrows hit the target properly! Immediately, thousands of Turks were shot at the vital point, turned over and fell off their horses, and were trampled into meatloaf by the robes that followed after them
The main thing is that there are too many Turks! The Tang army didn't need to calculate anything, as long as they could shoot an arrow four hundred meters away, they would definitely be able to shoot a Turk.
Unfortunately, although these tens of thousands of arrows all hit the target, in many cases where they did not hit the vital point or repeatedly hit the target, the damage that this attack gave to the Turks was not very ideal.
Seeing that the damage of the arrow array to the Turks was not high, Li Jing hurriedly shouted: "Grenade battalion!" Hurry up! ”
"Rush! Let the Turks on the other side know how good we are! Damn! ”
After receiving Li Jing's order, the supreme commander of the grenade battalion shouted and rushed forward, followed by nearly 2,000 cavalry. They all clamped their legs tightly around the horse's body, leaned their upper bodies forward at sixty degrees, grasped the horse's rope with one hand, and grasped an iron lump with the other.
Before and after rushing out of the formation, the two thousand horsemen scattered in a fan-shaped formation. When the Turkic cavalry was only about two hundred meters away from him, these cavalrymen threw the iron lumps in their hands fiercely, and then beat their horses and hurriedly ran towards the place they came.
"Phew"
Among the many Turkic cavalry that charged towards the Tang army, some of them were soldiers who successfully escaped after the defeat of the Tang army. As soon as they saw that the Tang army threw out that terrifying weapon again, their hearts tightened, and the scene of the previous defeat came to their minds. was so frightened that people's heads were blindfolded at that time, and they forgot about the fact that they were charging. As soon as you pull the reins, you have to set the horse down fiercely, so as not to end up with your previous robes!
Can this cavalry stop in the middle of the charge? Of course not! As soon as these individual Turkic soldiers pulled the reins, it was like a car in front of them suddenly turning around on a highway, and the Turkic cavalry behind them couldn't stop at all! One by one, they bumped into each other
Boom
Before the Turkic generals could react, the iron bumps thrown by the grenade battalion soldiers burst open.
"Ahh I don't want to die."
When the grenades exploded, the Turkic cavalry only heard the thunder in their ears from time to time, and then an irresistible shock wave crashed into their bodies. As soon as their throats were sweet, a mouthful of old blood spurted out impatiently, and they continued to wail in pain. What's more, they didn't even react, and they lost consciousness in a rush
"This is the secret weapon of the Tang Army? Damn it! Jieli Khan's face was already covered with cold sweat. Although he had long known that Tang Jun's secret weapon was very good, after seeing it with his own eyes just now, Jieli found that he still underestimated the power of Tang Jun's mysterious weapon.
It was just a grenade that was thrown, and the result was that the area of 200 meters to 300 meters in front of the Tang army's formation became a vacuum! There was not a single person or thing standing there, only a huge pit, around which lay a heap of Turkic cavalry who had crossed the place.
"No more fighting! I want to go home! I want to go home! ”
"If we can't win, let's run away"
When the explosion stopped, the living Turks immediately took a breath of cold air! I saw countless robes lying in front of me, lying there silently one by one. It is conservatively estimated that there are 10,000 people. Looking at the Tang Army's affairs, how can these Turks still have the courage to continue fighting? One by one, they turned around and fled like crazy, no matter how their generals reprimanded, they just rushed forward one by one, for fear that Tang Jun would come again and take their own lives.
"Warriors of the Turks! Don't panic, let alone mess up! I am your Khan, although the weapons of the Tang Army are powerful, but I believe that our Turkic warriors will win! Let's think about it, since these Tang troops came, how many robes have we had, and how many compatriots have died? Look at the way you are now, just turn around and flee as soon as you fight, have you forgotten the hatred of the robes and the hatred of your compatriots? If you still think you are a Turkic warrior, pick up your saber and rush with me! I will definitely lead you to win this war! Seeing that his soldiers began to flee as soon as they came into contact, this Jieli Khan was angry in his eyes and heart, and he didn't talk about the khan's pomp, he drew his saber and rushed to the battlefield with a shout.
Although this Jieli is a lot older, his voice is still the same. On the chaotic battlefield, the Turkic soldiers who were only concerned about fleeing for their lives listened to Jieli's shout, and immediately stopped fleeing for their lives and looked up at the figure who was really beating horses.
That figure is their god! They clearly remember that in the recent years, in order to improve the living standards of the Turkic peoples, it was that person who led them all the way to the vicinity of the huge capital of the Tang State, forcing the king of the Tang State to sign a series of unequal treaties.
Since then, the life of the Turks has skyrocketed.
Now that their god has reappeared on the front line of the battlefield, all the Turks are no longer afraid, and even the deserters who collapsed at the beginning slowly pick up the sabers that were thrown on the ground, and then walk into the army, looking at their god with extremely fanatical eyes, convinced that their god will bring the glory of victory as usual!
"Retreat!"
Li Jing was very unwilling! Seeing that the Turkic soldiers were about to collapse completely, he didn't expect that this old guy Jieli would risk his life and come to the front line of the battlefield in person, and Leng is to raise the low morale of the Turkic army. My family knows about my own family, don't look at this grenade, but this grenade also has limitations. This old man only gave himself 10,000 pills, and after these days of consumption, there are less than 1,000 left. If you don't retreat at this time, will you really have to fight Jieli to the death? Li Jingcai is not so stupid, he is also a military god-level figure, how can he not know the severity?
So, this time, seeing that the Turkic people's morale has rebounded, he has no chance to beat the water dogs. Li Jing immediately summoned the herald and asked him to quickly wave the flag and signal the army to retreat according to the plan. (To be continued.) )
