Chapter 68: The Beginning of the War

The rumbling sound is like a rushing flood crossing, the Turkic cavalry is coming, as long as the number exceeds 10,000, it will make people feel densely packed with human figures, not to mention the 20,000 Turkic cavalry with one person and three horses.

The water wheel of the Chengfeng began to turn, under the shock of tens of thousands of tall horses, it looked so thin, and at the same time there was also the Breaking Wave, Yanglin's telescope swept over the Breaking Wave command warehouse and saw an excited Li Chengqian, this kid is too calm, but he is quite good at picking people, the loudest lieutenant Chi Baolin was picked by him as the deputy general of the herald, I don't know that compared with the sound of artillery, the shouting of Yu Chi Baolin can be a few decibels, the Breaking Wave is to Li Chengqian to let off the cannon indiscriminately, the real decisive role is of course the Chengfeng Horn, In order to win the war, Yang Lin had already fully charged his mobile phone.

The mobile phone screen was transferred to the calculator software by Yang Lin, which is used to calculate the ballistic range, the moving Chengfeng wants to accurately attack the core of the enemy, when to open the cannon, in what direction is very important, Yang Lin is expected to observe the movement of the enemy general with a telescope, plus the calculator, it is not difficult to calculate the time and angle of the cannon, Li Er gave Yang Lin a strange order, Ashina Tu Su can not die, the enemy must retreat, the loss can not be too heavy, Yang Lin knows that Li Er has some arrangements in secret, Perhaps, after the main Turkic force arrived, Li Er's order was to kill Jieli.

If you want to cross the wide Weishui River, you can't swim naturally, although horses are born to swim, but the cold of the river will directly make the soldiers on horseback freeze to death, Dou Yingshan's plan is very successful. But luck was not good, and Weishui had already frozen at this time of the year. This year, the water was turbulent, and he received a report from the spies he had planted in Chang'an. The Tang army on the other side is less than 3,000 people, Li Er is in the camp, but unfortunately the Turks have rushed all the way and have no preparations to cross the river, otherwise they will be able to take Li Shimin's head today, Ashina Tusu with 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 or 60,000 horses is to show off by the river, he doesn't know where to learn a little bit of the art of war, thinking that this is a good way to boost the morale of the army and break the momentum of the enemy.

In the water army camp. Li Er put on a titanium steel alloy plate armor, which was just made by the Craftsman Supervision Casting Division, due to the time was too tight, a total of only one hundred pairs, several princes and princes plus the emperor himself wore it, and the rest could only meet the military attachés above the third grade, Li Erhao's habit of going to the front line in person was clear to the generals of his southern and northern wars, and none of the people who dared to grab a pair of iron armor on their bodies were mediocre, and they were in the prime of life. Needless to say, Li Ji, Xue Wanche, Zhang Liang and others even the weak Qin Qiong held a pair of armor and didn't let go. This made the generals of the small characters anxious, the weight of this plate armor was not less than eighty catties, which was about twenty catties heavier than the original heaviest armor of the Tang Dynasty, the Mingguang Armor. The long-handled Mo knife is also as high as more than 30 catties, how can a sepsis patient carry more than 100 catties and rush violently in the enemy formation. The hot-eyed young generals such as Dugu, Cheng Chumo and other bitter persuasions failed. I had to look at Li Er, who had finished the armor.

"Hahahaha, Brother Qin really loves this treasure armor, knowing that we have no battle to fight today, and he doesn't let the little ones show off." Li Er laughed.

"No fight? Your Majesty doesn't want to visit me, there are tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry on the other side, my brother's double hammer has not rusted, and the courage of a hundred horsemen is still there. Qin Qiong hugged the armor tighter, and said angrily in her mouth.

"Big brother, don't worry, I'm just trying on this plate armor today, just 20,000 vanguard troops, the two boys on the ship can be dispatched, I just need to watch the battle today, find a suitable landing site, and when the main army of the Rijieli Khan arrives, it's not too late for me to rush and kill."

The smile on Li Er's face was very bright, he didn't care about this war, of course, this was to ease the hearts of the ministers, in fact, the sense of urgency in his heart was stronger than ever, just like the eve of the Battle of Luoyang, under the siege of Dou Jiande's tens of thousands of troops, only more than 100 horsemen He seemed calm and calm, talking and laughing and shouting, leading the generals to kill a bloody road, this is a special quality that leaders have, and only such a leader who impresses everyone can bring out the unity of the Tang Dynasty Wenwu, In front of the 100,000 iron horsemen, they had no distractions in their hearts, and all they thought about was how to kill the enemy.

"Peng, bang, bang."

Three consecutive artillery shots sounded, Li Er climbed the highest hill by the camp with a cadre of civil and military ministers, this is the first battle of firearms used in the actual war, Li Er wants to make the army he leads forever invincible, he has to always grope and think about new things, the first to fire the cannon is the wave breaking under the command of Li Chengqian, the effect is not bad, at least the roar of the Shenwei cannon frightened the war horses of the Turkic cavalry a lot, and those war horses that no one rode began to run in a riot.

"What kind of plane, isn't this a waste of bullets?" Yang Lin swept the movement of the Turkic cavalry on the shore with a telescope, and found that Li Chengqian's three artillery pieces were actually empty in front of such a huge target, and the moving hull aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the Weishui River, and hundreds of stones that were shot out by gunpowder fell on the river surface, and Li Chengqian, who had a black line, felt very embarrassed, this was the consequence that he and the boat operator did not have a tacit understanding at all, but fortunately, it would take some time for the ship to turn, otherwise these three artillery might be able to bombard his own naval camp.

"Get ready."

Chengfeng completed a turn, did not fire, Yang Lin's mobile phone displayed running seconds, the time from the ignition of the lead to the explosion and launch was ten seconds, the time for the bullet to fly was three seconds, the angle of the muzzle had been fixed by him, as long as he calculated the position of the hull and the time from igniting the lead to the landing of the cannonball, the gravel bullet could fall where he wanted.

"Open fire."

Yang Lin gave an order, Wang Erniu waved the flag fiercely, the inner servant lit the fire, and the three Shenwei cannons aimed at the Turkic vanguard general's banner were launched, and the extra-long barrel of more than three meters long roared, and a thick smoke accompanied by hundreds of flying stones rushed out of the muzzle.

"Hiss"

"Puff Puff"

Within a radius of more than ten zhang of the banner of the Turkic vanguard army, the flying stones fell like raindrops, many Turkic cavalry were directly smashed by the stones and fell off their horses, and even worse was the horses that were hit by the stones, and they neighed and ran up in pain, and the Turkic cavalry guarding the banner was in a panic, and the flag did not know when it was trampled on the ground by the horses' hooves, fortunately, the Turkic people's recognition of the banner was not high, if the Han army, the commander's flag fell, maybe the army would be defeated directly.

"The port side gunners are reset, turn around, and the starboard gunners are ready." Yang Lin's orders were passed on quickly, and once the Turkic cavalry camp began to panic, they had to quickly expand their panic, as long as the galloping horses began to crowd and trample on each other, the enemy's losses would be great.

"Good fight."

On the hillside, Li Er's first cadre Wenwu shouted, if the Shenwei cannon has the right head to hit that, it would be too perverted, the cannon under the command of Yang Lin seems to have such an accurate head, and a triple shot knocked down the opponent's general flag.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The first to turn around the wave opened fire again, Li Chengqian was lucky this time, although the landing point was only the edge of the Turkic cavalry, but also killed and injured a lot of people and horses, he found a little feeling he was even more enthusiastic, Yang Lin took the telescope and watched the Turkic army closely, the range of tens of thousands of horses spread out was too large, it was impossible to cause a devastating blow with these cannons alone, he was looking for the position of the enemy's main general, only the shells kept falling on the side of the main general, in order to make the entire Turkic army feel afraid, It's a pity that among the Turkic soldiers who have no obvious difference, it is difficult for Yang Lin to find Ashina Tusu's figure, but he saw another side of the Turkic cavalry.

The panicked and galloping war horses did not bring heavy damage to the Turkic cavalry, and the horses riding in the Tang Dynasty only had reins, no saddles, and on the smooth back of the horses, the Turkic knights could jump from one horse to another lightly, and even run directly on the back of piles of horses, they were people who grew up on horseback, and they were too familiar with galloping horses, and it was impossible to use the startled horses to trample on each other to kill and injure them, that is, some of the Turkic cavalry hit by stone shells were trampled to death by horses, and a few shots came down, The total number of dead and wounded Turkic soldiers should be less than a hundred.

"U-turn, port ready"

Yanglin's starboard side did not fire a cannon again, and the port side that had fired a cannon turned around and the muzzle was aimed at the Turkic cavalry again, but Yanglin still did not give the order to open the cannon.

"Dou Yingshan, is it the Tang people's new catapult that makes an explosion on the ship?" Ashina Tusu was a little annoyed, the loss of dozens of people was not a matter at all for tens of thousands of troops, but all the way south, the intelligence of the Tang Army, Dou Yingshan, was accurate, and they were almost at the foot of Chang'an City, but there was an accident, which made Ashina Tusu, who had led the troops for many years, a little uneasy.

"Don't panic, we're coming too fast, the latest news hasn't been sent to me from Chang'an City, even if these smoking things are the new weapons of the Tang Army, they are just two boats, tomorrow's general can drive the Han people who have been captured along the way to build a pontoon bridge, and let the Condor hand be responsible for covering, as long as the pontoon bridge leads to the opposite bank, the general will capture the Tang Emperor alive, and who can grab the first credit for Chang'an City?" Dou Yingshan was also a little surprised by the two strange ships that suddenly appeared, but he already had a mature rebellion scripture in his heart, and quickly thought of some methods.
