Now that the order to fight had been issued, there was no longer any scruples, and a few minutes later, the roar of pine cannons resounded again across the land on the banks of the Polo River.

Lao Luo stood on a slightly higher hill, looking at everything in his field of vision, he positioned himself in the finale position of the heavy cavalry, as for the current attack, there is little difference between him and him, he does not need to do anything to go to the front line to encourage the soldiers, let alone what he does to take the lead as a big soldier, as long as he stands in this position, the "Luo" character banner of hunting behind him does not fall, it is the backbone of everyone!

Not far behind Lao Luo, there are seven or eight thick wooden stakes smashed on the ground, and there are two thumb-thick ropes tied to the wooden stakes, a black hot air balloon with a diameter of more than eight meters floats in the air, and two men in leather jackets are busy in the hanging basket under the hot air balloon, one is looking around with a monocular, and the other is holding two red flags with long-handled poles, and there are flags representing different colors around him.

All the observations on the gondola will be directly fed back to the Lao Luo soldiers under the hot air balloon, plus two hot air balloons at different positions in the distance, these observing soldiers can see the whole field.

And Lao Luo can also quickly control various movements in the entire battlefield through these.

The two lines of conveying combat orders, the sound of the brass horn and the command of the flag, and the manpower herald are the second, and the two cooperate to form the command system of the current battalion.

It's not that Lao Luo hasn't thought of other more efficient methods, but in the current environment, even if he is a "smart man", he is helpless, no matter what kind of information system in the future is based on technology, without technology, no matter how much he thinks, it is just a castle in the air.

Fortunately, in the context of this era, there is no need for too advanced technology, it is enough to be more efficient than the enemy.

The roar of the pine cannon continued, and the pebbles in the sky were sprinkled on the enemy camp that was not ready, and in an instant the Turks and the Dangxiang people were in chaos, although these pebbles would not burst like a cannonball made of steel, nor did they have such an over-the-horizon range, but it was like the effect of the rumored earliest artillery grapeball, and the pebbles that spread a large area were smashed down on the head and face, but the distant enemy was still in preparation, and the enemies in the front row who were caught off guard were directly knocked down, and some could still crawl, Some of them were silent, and only a few lucky ones were able to take advantage of the gap in the attack to hide behind the wooden rafts......

The camp of the Turks and the Dangxiang people was in a commotion like a hornet's nest overturned by a barrel, and the sound of horns resounded throughout the land, and the wooden platoons were erected on one side, and the infantry of the Turks and Dangxiang began to gather, and they hid behind the one-man high wooden platoon, and then moved towards the camp on Lao Luo's side in some faintly audible orders......

In the distance behind the platoon infantry, Mahmoud and Li Deming stood together, looking at the opposite side.

"Damn, this Luo Kaixian leaves no room for anything, at this time to attack, our platoon is not ready at all......" Mahmoud complained angrily. Yes, just complaining, there is no thunderstorm can only say that this Ghaznavid emir is deep, in fact, he himself understands that since it is hostile, there is no reason for humility, and it is not that hairy children can fight and play.

"No way, we have to resist, we need at least one victory!" Li Deming was almost gritting his teeth and talking, he brought a total of 45,000 troops this time, but now he has lost more than 10,000 people in just a few days, and the remaining thousands of people have been injured, how can he accept such a result?

Now the situation is rapidly deteriorating for them, so that it is impossible to take a step back, and as for the victory he mentioned, it is because the morale of the three soldiers is getting lower and lower, and if there is no victory, I am afraid that it will collapse.

"Twenty trebuchets will have to rest, and that roaring weapon must have been used many times, as long as we knock out those damn equipment from Luo Kaixian, our warriors will definitely be able to repel them!" After complaining, Mahmoud didn't know whether he was to encourage Li Deming or to motivate himself, so he said such a thing.

"I hope everything goes well, Your Excellency Yusuf and His Excellency Emir will comfort you, once a strongman like Luo Kaixian returns to the East, you and I will not have a good future!" Li Deming and Yousuf. Qadir Khan already had contradictions, and at this time he could only count on Mahmoud to come forward to solve the problem of cooperation, because he saw very clearly that Luo Kai was a fierce tiger first, and once he returned to the world of the Han people in the East, he was destined to enter the mountains and forests, and the leader of the clan like him or in the gap could only be driven.

"Well, you're right! I'll go over now, don't worry, you and I are not good at defense, I don't believe that the combined attack can't beat Luo Kaixian, who only has 20,000 people! Mahmoud's words were crisp and decisive and full of momentum, in fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart until now, and the purpose of speaking like this was just to stabilize Li Deming. According to the usual practice of war on the steppe, the three achievements of the battle loss have to consider retreating, the population and horses on the grassland are scarce, no one wants to fight a battle of life and death, if he, the emir, compulsorily ordered, I am afraid that in exchange for the resistance of the low-level soldiers.

Li Deming looked at the back of Mahmoud leaving, turned his head and looked at some mountain warriors and horseless cavalry who were busy organizing the attack in front of him, some shook his head gloomily, and then somewhat mysteriously avoided the Turks in the camp and summoned a few of his own personal entourage to start instructing.

The three infantry who had been raided again marched out of the camp carrying tall and wide wooden platoons, and behind them were shield men with scimitars and round shields, archers with three or four quivers on their bodies, and spearmen with spears in their hands, which looked rather imposing and imposing......

It's just that the ballista battalion on Lao Luo's side changed the crushed pebbles into cobblestone bullets in a short time - it is a polished and smooth round stone equivalent to the inner diameter of the pine cannon, and then ignited the lead and blasted out one round stone bullet after another with a slight adjustment......

As a result, the Turkic and Dangxiang infantry who poured out of the battalion were saddened......

The cobblestone bullets burst from the pine cannon smashed on the wooden row, and suddenly the stone chips flew one after another, and the sawdust also splashed in all directions, the wooden rows of the Turks and the Dangxiang people were not nailed with nails and iron hoops, but were tied with rattan ropes and leather ropes, where could they withstand the cobblestone bullets that flew hundreds of kilometers under the action of gunpowder and the earth's gravity? It was only once or twice that it completely fell apart, and the person behind the wooden row instantly broke his head and bled out, and the unlucky one was even pierced through the chest and abdomen by the broken wood, which is considered lucky......

The worst thing is the sword, shield, spearmen and archers who did not dodge in time, where is the cobblestone bullet that a small wooden shield and human body can resist? So the round, seemingly lethal cobblestone projectiles rolled through the crowd into a ditch, a ditch stained with blood and flesh and mixed with dust and grass clippings!

The huge damage did not make the infantry of the Turks and Dangxiang retreat, the unique ruthlessness of the steppe people broke out, and the distance of more than a thousand steps was only three or five minutes to sprint, even if they carried a huge wooden row, it was nothing, they were beaten to the neck for several days, and the brothers who were still drinking and laughing together the day before were gone the next day, and if you are a man, you can't stand this kind of, isn't it desperate? Isn't it just a knife slashing and a spear stabbing people? The grassland people really didn't care about the ruthless energy...... Facing the piercing chisel of cobblestone bullets and the rain of pebbles covering their heads and faces, the two people who gritted their teeth rushed out at least five or six hundred steps, and suddenly found that the stones shuttling around and grazing overhead were sparse, and when they looked up ahead, they found that not far away, a group of half-shirtless strong men had retreated with tall shields above the lower tip......

A few clever hundred-hundred-ten-chiefs began to roar in their own words, "Those damn ones are back, they're scared, rush!" Kill them and send them to Hu Da! ”

The Turks and party members who mustered up the courage to rush halfway were even more excited, damn you don't believe that you can still throw rotten stones and smash people, play with knives and wield spears, who is afraid of whom?

Their ideas are very good and practical, and when it comes to slashing people with knives, they can really be fearless of anyone with the advantage of numbers......

It's just that things on the battlefield are never what you want to do, and the buzzing and swishing sounds suddenly make noise in front of them, and then it is not large stones and small stones that reach their heads, but canisters of fire oil with a strong smell of sparks, and bed crossbows and bolts that are comparable to short spears......

The prairie men who rushed forward bravely fell to the ground one after another in the middle of running, and were covered with oil stains by the fire oil cans, and then inadvertently ignited by the flames, and kept scratching with their hands when they were crying out in pain, and the grease on their bodies stuck to their companions with flames, and the men who were pointed by the crossbow arrows were even more unlucky, and the thick bed crossbow arrows pierced the chest and abdomen, putting them and the partners behind them together, and everyone fell to the ground together from being able to reach out and take care of them gradually quietly.

There were many who fell to the ground and those who screamed in Chesty, but there were many more who rushed forward.

It is said that there are 10,000 people without boundaries, but in fact, this is the truth.

Although the big stone and small stone of the pine cannon are powerful, they are not all-metal cannonballs that can burst with lethality by shock waves, although the broken pebbles can pierce people's heads, they are not the fragments of cannonballs like knives after they are broken, and the warriors wearing tough leather armor can grit their teeth and get through, and the oil canisters can cover an area of the attack, but they can't cover the whole field, not to mention that the firing efficiency of the bed crossbow is slightly low, so ...... Although the infantry of the Turks and Dangxiang people was wiped out, tens of thousands of people still rushed to the gap in the garrison camp.
