Chapter 316: Destroying the withering and decaying
The formation of the new army in Anxi was stretched very wide, which ensured that the steel arrows could be evenly poured on the heads of the Hui people. A wave of arrows rained down, like boiling water pouring snow, and nearly half of the Hui people who were charging fell in an instant. The war horse that lost its owner ran around with a scream, and the still alive Hui people were suddenly stunned in place, and the scene in front of them made everyone's hearts tremble.
There were corpses everywhere around, human corpses and horse corpses, and the smell of fishy heat came to the face, and the originally dense formation instantly became sparse.
The image of the steel arrows covering the top of the head was still in front of them, and everyone was terrified. They had no confidence in defeating the army of the Heavenly Khan, and now that they had encountered this scene suddenly, every living cavalry did not know what to do.
There are indispensable fights between the tribes on the steppe, but how can there be such a thing, half of the people on the enemy's own side are killed before they get close to the enemy!
With such a huge casualty rate, no army can withstand it, not even the Anxi army itself, let alone these improvised Uighur cavalry.
No one continued to rush forward, everyone was terrified. No one knows what happened with this weird attack or why it happened.
At this time, if you rush forward, you may be able to cause some damage to the Anxi New Army, because the Anxi New Army has used all the Yuanrong crossbows without the slightest reservation, and once it enters close combat, the casualties of the Anxi New Army are naturally inevitable.
However, the Hui people don't know this, and they are already completely confused, so it is naturally impossible to make such a choice. Tens of thousands of Hui cavalry stood on the grass blankly, looking at the corpses all over the ground at a loss.
At this time, the athletes of the Anxi New Army nervously turned the steel winch. Rewind the Yuan Rong crossbow. There are so many enemies. Naturally, this is not the time to go up and fight with the white knives.
The position of the Chinese army. There was a dense muffled sound, it was the sound of the machine being smashed hard, and the new-style Eight Bull Crossbows, which had been silent, were all launched, and more than 200 Heavenly Thunder Arrows flew out with a roar, falling into the crowd of Hui people with a trace of green smoke.
The lead of the gunpowder pack was deliberately cut shorter, and the moment the thunder arrow fell into the crowd, a dense explosion sounded.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" “……”
The thunderous roar was followed by a dense scream. The severed limbs and stumps flew everywhere, standing out in the sunlight. The abrupt sound completely frightened the Hui cavalry, and they didn't know what to do when they looked at the corpses and horses that flew into the sky.
The power of granulated gunpowder weighing more than two catties is definitely not small, although in order to reduce the weight of the steel balls is not added, but the power to deal with the cavalry is extremely great, every place where the thunder arrow falls, the cavalry within a radius of dozens of steps are affected, the closer ones are directly blown up to the bones, the farther ones are directly shocked to death by the shock wave, and the cavalry and war horses farther away are shocked to the ears and noses. One by one, they hugged their heads and screamed loudly.
More than 200 new-style eight-bull crossbows equipped in the new army of Anxi were simultaneously launched this time. The results are phenomenal. Every time the thunderbolt fell, a large clearing was formed, and in the center was a shallow pit, and the smoke filled the crowd, and the knights who were still alive panicked and didn't know what to do.
There were only more than 1,000 people killed by the Heavenly Thunder Arrow, and there were slightly more shocks, which was actually nothing for the Hui people, but it made the morale of the Hui people lose the slightest in an instant. For the Uighur knights, the most terrifying thing was the deafening sound.
"Heavenly thunder! It's thunder! ”
Some knights shouted in fright, and the cavalry was thrown into disarray. Everyone thought of the horrific scene in the Great Khan's tent not long ago.
They are most in awe of the gods, and when they see so many thunderbolts falling on their own army, where is there still a trace of courage to fight.
"We have been forsaken from heaven! Heaven bless us no more! ”
"Run! Run! ”
Someone yelled and turned the horse's head, and rushed to the rear. The Hui knights who reacted were as if they were infected, and they all made the same action one by one. A large number of Hui cavalry directly turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the rear, and a small number of Hui cavalry, who were completely frightened, stayed in place in panic, not knowing what to do.
In the rear of the Hui cavalry, those old and weak were also completely stunned. They could hear the dense thunder clearly. At this time, seeing the bloody cavalry fleeing towards the rear, the people immediately panicked, and before the cavalry rushed to the front, they all ran in chaos.
The Hui nobles were also stunned, and only then came back to their senses. Where they stood, they could see the battle, and by the time the rain of arrows fell, they had froze completely. How can there be such a war, half of your side will die before you fight!
The subsequent bursts of thunder frightened them even more, and when they saw their own cavalry fleeing back, they hurriedly looked at the location where Yao Luo Ge moved to Jian, and when he wanted the second prince to get an idea, he found that the second prince was gone.
The sharp-eyed Hui nobleman saw the second prince and found that he had already ridden through the quagmire, not even caring about the carriage of the Great Khan, and rushed directly towards the river. He didn't even have a single soldier by his side, and he wanted to run away alone.
The Hui nobles were chilled, and some of them hurriedly got on their horses and rushed towards the river. Some people also rode their horses and rushed over, shouting loudly to collect the soldiers and horses of their tribe, but they were directly scattered by the fleeing cavalry.
Yao Luoge moved to build the moment the Tang Army's arrow rain fell, and he knew that it was over.
As the second prince of Huifu, he knows more about Datang than others. The last thing he wanted to encounter was the Tang army of the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Ma Lan, but at this time he understood that it was Ma Lan's army that had caught up.
It was an army that wiped out Tubo and Great Food, this army was extremely feared by his father during his lifetime, and this army was also the basis for the Heavenly Khan to destroy the Hui. If he had known that this was the famous army, he would not have stayed to fight at all, but would have fled with the elite.
At this time, it was already late, and when a wave of arrows came down from the other party, half of his subordinates were missing. There is simply no possibility of continuing such a battle.
The army has gone up, and it is impossible to take it back. Yao Luo Ge did not hesitate, and rode directly to the icy river not far away. Either way, we'll have to get out first. When his father died, he was the biggest target of the Tang people, and only by living could there be hope.
The Hui Khanate is over, as long as he survives, the Yao Luo Ge clan is not finished, and it can continue to continue.
When the dense explosions in the rear sounded, Yao Luoge only paused, didn't dare to turn back at all, just desperately fled forward. The luxurious carriage had not yet been pushed through the quagmire, and Yao Luoge did not pay attention to it, and rode directly past the side of the carriage, continuing to flee forward.
When he reached the edge of the icy river, Yao Luoge gritted his teeth and urged the war horse to jump in. The surface of the river was extremely wide, and the water was full of ice, and the war horses trembled in the water, and the ice water poured into the leather robes inside the battle armor, and the biting chill instantly enveloped the whole body. Yao Luo Ge gritted his teeth and whipped his mount desperately, urging the mount to swim to the opposite side.
……
The moment the Hui cavalry fled, the Anxi New Army reacted. The athletes continued to wind the Yuan Rong crossbow on horseback, and at the same time used their spurs to manipulate the war horses and rushed straight forward. At this time, it is necessary to leave as much of the enemy's living force as possible, not the time to spare the horsepower.
Ma Xuan held the Mo knife tightly, urging the horse to rush to the front, Qinghai Cheng was long and large, extremely fast, and the distance from the brigade was getting farther and farther. Kang Xiaoyu and Gao Qianqian are both good horses, closely following behind Ma Lan.
Soon caught up with the fleeing Hui cavalry, Ma Lan shouted, and the Mo knife in his hand suddenly swung out, splitting the back Hui cavalry in half along with the war horse, and then swept one by one, cutting the other Hui cavalry into two sections.
No one dared to turn back, and no one looked at their companions, and some people saw the horses chasing after them, but they didn't stop at all, just urged the horses to continue to flee forward.
The body of this Guanzhong man is born with divine power, the heavy Mo knife is extremely light in his hand, the speed of Qinghai Cheng is extremely fast, Ma Xuan rushed like a crowd, and the Mo knife danced like snowflakes, slashing the Hui knights one after another.
At this time, he was surrounded by enemies, but still no one attacked him, and the Hui knights just desperately urged the war horses to stay away from him. All of them are running backwards, and no one knows where they want to flee, just subconsciously running and running.
Kang Xiaoyu and Gao Qianqian chased after them, but they didn't kill anyone, they just followed Ma Lan's side closely. They are good at small kung fu, they use short weapons, and they are not good at fighting immediately, but with the skills of the two of them, they can protect themselves in such a situation.
The cold light of the Mo knife in Ma Lu's hand flickered, and soon more than a dozen Hui cavalry were cut off by him, and at this time, the Tang cavalry of the brigade had already followed, still maintaining a neat formation. The Yuanrong crossbows of the athletes had been reloaded, and with the wave of the Chinese army's order flag, another wave of Yuanrong crossbows shot out in a volley and fell into the middle of the fleeing Hui cavalry.
Ma Lan only felt that the top of his head suddenly darkened, and then looked at the dense Hui people in front of him, and suddenly most of them were missing. In this wave of volleys, I don't know how many Hui cavalry were killed by the rain of arrows.
Many of the surviving Uighur cavalry screamed in horror, but no one dared to stop their flight. The cavalry was even more panicked, and only cared about desperately whipping their horses and running forward, and none of them had the courage to stop the battle.
In front of the knights, the old and weak were in a mess, running wildly over the clearing. The nobles are gone, and everyone has no backbone, so they don't know what to do. (To be continued......)
