Chapter 139: Rout!

"Trebuchet ready!"

Seeing that the charge of the Turkic cavalry was getting slower and slower, and the formation was also scattered, Lu Yuan sat in front of the screen and said with a walkie-talkie.

"Yes!"

All eyes were drawn to the Turkic cavalry, staring at their charging footsteps.

"Lord Lu, the enemy cavalry has entered the range of the trebuchet, and it is ready to be fired!"

At this time, the soldier in charge of the trebuchet saw that the Turkic cavalry had already entered the firing range, but Lu Yuan still did not give the order to launch, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Wait!"

Lu Yuan looked at the screen calmly, although he had no experience in commanding operations, but as a modern person, and in the era of the information explosion in the 21st century, he heard and saw a large number of wars, so he naturally knew that at what moment it was launched, and the lethality was even greater.

"Ready!

At this time, Lu Yuan saw that the entire cavalry phalanx of the enemy army had entered half of the firing range, his pupils shrank slightly, his eyes froze, and his tone of voice was decisively ordered.

"Yes!"

The soldier shouted with relief.

With the command of the soldier, the trebuchets on the city wall continued to throw stones, like meteors, mercilessly smashed into the Turkic cavalry phalanx, and the heads of the cavalry and horses smashed were bloody, and their brains were overflowing, which was simply miserable.

However, this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that after the cavalry in front of them was stoned, the horses also fell to the ground, and these obstacles became a nightmare for the high-speed cavalry.

I saw that the cavalry advancing at high speed couldn't stop, and directly hit the horses in front of them, so that people turned on their backs, but when they didn't stand up, they watched with despair as countless cavalry advancing behind them ruthlessly trampled them to death under the iron hooves.

With several rounds of trebuchets fired, the vanguard of the Turkic cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the sharp knife heads of the entire cavalry phalanx were destroyed.

Subsequently, the prepared stones were used up, and the trebuchet was useless.

When the Turkic cavalry saw that they had run out of stones and their morale was boosted, they did not know that this was only the beginning of their nightmare.

As they continued to charge, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong stepped out of the way and hundreds of archers walked out of the rear army.

They formed a formation, drew their bows into a full moon, and fired arrows with cold light, mercilessly piercing the chests of the Turkic cavalry.

Soon, under the baptism of the Tang army's rounds of relentless arrows, the vanguard of the Turkic soldiers was again heavily defeated, suffered heavy losses, and their morale dropped to freezing point.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the two khans in the rear were extremely gloomy.

They didn't expect that just one charge, before they reached the Tang Army, suffered heavy losses, these two rounds of baptism of stones and arrow rain directly caused the Turkic cavalry to lose thousands of elites, but the most angry thing for them was that they lost thousands of elites, and they didn't even touch people's hair, it was just a bag.

"But as long as you can break through the city walls and fight into the city, these losses are acceptable. ”

One of the khans muttered to himself.

"Yes, besides, we don't rely on this cavalry to attack the city. ”

A smirk crossed the other khan's face, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

And Lu Yuan and Li Shimin saw this scene, and they both had smiles on their faces, all of this was going on according to their script, as long as nothing went wrong, this battle should be able to be won.

"Next, it's time to see the heavy armored infantry versus the cavalry!"

Li Shimin had a look of expectation on his face, staring at the screen with his eyes.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan also nodded, the most critical enemy in this battle is whether Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong can lead the heavy infantry equipped with Mo swords and armor to defeat the Turkic cavalry fiercely, completely break the backbone of the Turkic cavalry, and make them feel the fear of being dominated.

Soon, the Turkic cavalry, which had a somewhat scattered formation, finally came to the city, only less than a hundred meters away from the heavy infantry troops, and both sides could see each other's people.

At this time, the Turkic cavalry finally had a smile on their faces, the corners of their mouths were full of cruelty, and their eyes looked at the Tang Army bloodthirsty, as if they wanted to slaughter the Tang Army fiercely and avenge the comrades who died in the previous battle.

And looking at this scene, the corners of Qin Qiong's mouth also showed a sneer, his eyes were cold, and Wei Chigong's black face was full of excitement, he was a battle maniac, fighting or something, he liked it the most.

"Kill!"

Qin Qiong watched the enemy army getting closer and closer, his face turned cold, and his body suddenly released endless murderous aura, and shouted.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Qin Qiong is worthy of being a veteran who has fought for many years, and as the generalissimo of today's soldiers and horses, he has rich command experience and knows how to mobilize the emotions of soldiers before the war.

Hearing Qin Qiong's shouting, the soldiers behind him also shouted in unison, full of momentum.

Soon, the two armies fought together, originally the infantry fought the cavalry, there was no suspense to be hanged, the Turkic cavalry originally thought so, but as soon as the battle began, the Turkic cavalry were all dumbfounded.

Why hasn't he touched the other party yet, how did the head of his mount be cut off?

Why did his own knife slash on the other party's body only produced a trace of sparks, but there was no wound?

Why did the other party's knife slash on his body, but he didn't stop bleeding?

Questions filled the hearts of the Turkic cavalry, causing their fighting spirit to dissipate a lot inadvertently, and a thick fear quietly surfaced in their hearts.

At this time, when the Tang army saw this scene, its morale was greatly boosted, and under the leadership of Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, they continued to harvest the lives of the Turkic cavalry.

"Oh my God, the gods are protecting them, and our swords can't hurt them at all!"

"I want to go home... I don't want to die here..."

In the face of the Tang army, like a grim reaper, holding a Mo knife and constantly harvesting the lives of their comrades, the psychology of some Turkic cavalry finally collapsed, their faces were full of fear, and they drove their horses and ran back.

Seeing that the Turkic cavalry was defeated and fled in all directions, Qin Qiong led the army to cover up a little for a while, and then the troops were collected, after all, it was a little difficult for the heavy armored infantry to move, let alone chasing people.

The two Turkic khans suddenly saw the battlefield ahead, their own cavalry was suddenly defeated, and they were scattered and fled, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, their eyes were full of doubts and anger, and tens of thousands of cavalry were scattered by thousands of infantry.

"Say, what the hell is going on in front of you, how can you be so defeated?"

One of the khans grabbed a cavalryman who had fled from the front and shouted with murderous rage.

"They are not people, they are devils, they are gods, we can't beat them at all..."

The man's face was full of dazedness at this time, and his eyes were full of deep fear, the scene just now completely subverted his worldview, and he didn't want to recall the tragic scene just now that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
