Chapter 191: Pursuit

Hajid flew several feet high with his men and horses, and his body was still in the air, when it suddenly shattered, and both men and horses turned into pieces of minced flesh and fell.

Smoke and dust rose from the ground, the earth shook violently, and a terrifying energy storm swept in all directions, and the dozen or so Mulu elite soldiers closest to Hajid were still dozens of feet away, and their bodies were also shattered and fell to the ground.

When the smoke cleared, a large crater appeared in the ground.

The deepest part of the pit is several zhang, and the radius reaches dozens of zhang, and it suddenly appears between the two armies, which is extremely conspicuous.

This strange scene made everyone quiet.

The unknown is the scariest because it can easily be transformed into fear. The tribal warriors looked at the huge pit from afar, and their faces showed a look of fear.

What kind of force can cause such powerful damage! Could it be that Hu/Da no longer favors the respectful Persians, but is on the side of the damned Tang people?

In the Tang army camp, after a short silence, the athletes cheered in unison, and they were extremely excited.

"These things sent by Master Li Xiu this time are actually so powerful?" Duan Xiushi looked at the big pit in the distance and couldn't help but smack his tongue.

Ma Lan smiled, lowered his voice and said, "How can it be so powerful!" The distance of that place was measured as soon as we came, and the pit was dug by our people. The bottom is all loose soil, only the top layer is compacted. In there, I also asked Zhao Yang to bury a full 200 catties of gunpowder, and just now I used the things sent by Li Xiu to detonate the buried gunpowder. Otherwise, relying on that little thing, how could there be such an effect. ”

"......" Duan Xiushi was dumbfounded.

Ma Lan smiled. The power of black powder is not satisfactory, there is really nothing to say, he prefers a strong bow and a hard crossbow. This gunpowder was the bulk of the granulated gunpowder he brought from Anxi this time, and the small things tied to the Baniu crossbow were just sent by Li Xiu to Changxingfang. Since he was not going to rely on gunpowder, he simply used these things to make a loud noise to shock the morale of the big cannibals.

If it hadn't been done in advance, even if there were 200 catties of granulated black powder, it would not have been able to make such a big pit. Just kidding, even a 200-pound aerial bomb in later generations would not have been able to blow up such a big crater at once.

Very few people know this secret, and in the eyes of the big cannibals and the athletes who don't know the details, it is a dozen or so giant arrows of eight-ox crossbows that have created such an amazing effect, and the shock to the mind can be imagined.

……

In the camp of the Tang Army, the cheers of the athletes became louder and louder. Outside the first trench, the remaining hundreds of Mulu elite soldiers forgot to flee and were nailed to the ground by the Tang army's crossbow arrows.

Seeing this amazing attack of the Tang army, the morale of the big cannibals instantly fell to the extreme, and the tribal warriors between the several trenches in the main village were originally ready to die in battle, but at this time, they also lost their courage in an instant.

They were Hu/Da's most devout servants and were not afraid of death. However, their mission this time is to open the passage for the elite troops from Mulu.

And now, the Governor's regular army is all dead, and even the Governor himself is dead, and their courage has become worthless!

Without the possibility of victory, these bravest tribal warriors were unwilling to continue to attack the Tang army's camp in vain. Some people turned their heads and fled outward, instantly infecting the people around them, and soon thousands of people turned their heads and fled outward, leaving their backs to the Tang army in the camp.

The rain of arrows of the Tang army in the camp became dense again, and they shot these tribal warriors between the trenches mercilessly.

At this time, the Great Eclipse realized that the Tang Army's crossbow arrows had not dried up at all, and no one was making a sound from those morale-boosting warriors, watching these brave soldiers fall between the trenches one after another.

Fear spreads among the great cannibals, and even the most stupid know that the tide is turning. Thousands of brave tribal warriors could not escape from the range of the trench at all, and were all crucified by the dense crossbow rain of the Tang people.

The big cannibals close to the small battalions of the Tang Army on both sides began to slowly retreat, and their expressions were extremely dazed. The Governor is dead, and without His Majesty's command, they don't know what to do.

At this moment, a tsunami-like shout sounded on the other side of the Wuhu River.

The Turks had already finished lining up on the other side of the bank, and at this time, they were rushing into the shallow black water in a row with a frenzied shout, waving various weapons and rushing towards this side!

Seeing this, all the big cannibals began to retreat. At first, it was a retreat, and then it was a chaotic escape.

The hundreds of thousands of Persian peasants gathered by the Wuhu water no longer had the courage to fight, and everyone turned around with panicked shouts, and began to run backwards with their backs to the iron hooves of the Turks.

The water was very shallow, and the Turks quickly rushed over, and the feathered arrows flew out one after another, and the nearest big cannibal immediately fell into a large piece.

The 10,000 Turks divided into small phalanxes and drove the big cannibals backwards like a tiger driving a flock of sheep.

This is what the defeat is like this, and the big cannibal at this time has lost his fear, so he can only desperately run backwards.

It was useless to resist, because anyone who wanted to turn back and resist would have to face hundreds or thousands of Turkic knights alone, and the results could be imagined.

Once the army retreats, it is extremely difficult to retract it, not to mention that these big cannibals are a rabble and have no effective command system, and the Turks are the best at pursuing and defeating the army.

The Turks did not rush forward directly, but first broke up the large food rout behind them, and then surrounded and divided them one by one, killed them all with feathered arrows and swords, and then continued to pursue forward. The Persian peasants were all infantry, there were no horses at all, and the horses and camels were the dead Mulu elite soldiers, so the peasants could not escape at all, and were driven behind by the Turkic miscellaneous soldiers, and they were completely lambs to the slaughter.

……

At this time, by the Wuhu water, the camp of the Tang Army was also slowly opened.

A large number of foot soldiers came out first to clear the road, and then the athletes galloped out in groups and quickly lined up outside the camp.

Outside the camp of the Chinese army, some soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and collect the crossbow arrows that had been fired, while the rest of the athletes galloped out on horseback and chased after the big cannibal who was fleeing in embarrassment.

Mingguang armor remained in the barracks, because there was no need at this time. The 8,000 Tang troops followed the example of the Turks, scattered into a phalanx of hundreds of people, and roared to kill the big cannibals who fled in embarrassment.

Ma Lan rushed to the front with his own soldiers, and rushed into the Great Food Defeat Army, and the Mo knife flew like snowflakes, cutting the big cannibals in two.

This is the army composed of the toughest men in Anxi, everyone can use a dozen pounds of Mo knife on the horse, the war horse carries the athlete roaring past, the blade is so long that the Mo knife only needs to stretch out diagonally, relying on the huge speed of the war horse to cut off the fleeing big cannibal.

The great cannibals were driven everywhere like a flock of sheep, and many of them ran out of strength and knelt on the ground to pray for the blessing of Hu/Da. There are also people who simply lay down their arms and raise them above their heads to indicate surrender to the victors.

For these kneeling people, the Turks did not spare either. As for the Tang Army's side, Ma Lu did not have extra food to feed them. If you have the courage to go to the battlefield, you must be prepared to meet death.

On the oasis by the Wuhu water, it has become the killing/killing/field of the victors. The Great Cannibal fled backwards in despair, and soon ran out of strength, and was wantonly slaughtered by the pursuing cavalry. The meadow was full of severed limbs and corpses of big cannibals, and the blood was already rich and could not be dissolved.

At this time, the sun finally fell on the edge of the Wuhu water and shone on the miserable battlefield.

The fertile land of the oasis is stained red with blood, and the young adults of the great cannibals are everywhere.

Ma Ling led the athletes to chase and kill for more than an hour, and I don't know how many big cannibals he killed.

With so many people running away together, it is naturally impossible to kill them all, and there are always lucky guys who can escape. At this time, it had been more than ten miles away from Wuhu Shui, which was already the limit of the big cannibal's full run, Ma Ling felt that it was almost enough, so he sent an order to let the athletes stop chasing and chasing, and hand over the rest of the task of pursuing and defeating the troops to the Turkic miscellaneous soldiers in the Qibi field.

Compared with the Tang Army, these veterans of tribal warfare are better at doing this kind of thing, and the Tang Army is not good at learning.

When the athletes received the order, they all went in the direction of the barracks, and when they saw a lone or undead cannibal along the way, they naturally killed them one by one.

After clearing the area of more than ten miles centered on the camp, and making sure that there was not a single living cannibal in this area, the army gathered in front of the barracks and began to count the number of people.

"General, not a single injury!" Han Wu said loudly.

Ma Lan nodded, a smile on his face.

Half of the new army had just been brought from Anxi, and he had actually never been on the battlefield, and he was most afraid that they would lose something. Now it seems that it is not bad, even if he has seen blood with the veteran, he has not been damaged, which is naturally the most perfect result for him.

More than 100,000 cannibals were preparing to attack the city, so they naturally brought a lot of supplies. Before, the big cannibals only cared about running away, where could they care about these things. A large number of tents, war horses and camels, as well as enough food to support more than 100,000 people for one or two months, were left on the battlefield and became the trophies of the Anxi army.

Qi Biye was bent on making meritorious contributions in front of Ma Lu, and chased after 10,000 Turkic soldiers for more than ten miles, and then scattered and swept the battlefield over and over again like a grate.

The Turks are skilled in bows and horses, but the poor cannibals only rely on two legs, where can they escape the four legs of the Turks? In the end, the Turks' war knives were all cut to the edges, until there was no longer a living cannibal, and only then did they search for the belongings of the dead cannibal, and slowly gathered back.

When he returned to his life, it was not yet noon. Looking at the mountains of various materials piled up outside the camp, Qi Biye's eyes were extremely hot, and he looked at Ma Lan with a blank eye.

"How many people are lost?" Ma Lan looked at the Wild Road. (To be continued.) )
