Chapter 359: Destroying the Ancients
"It's coming!"
On the other side of the sky, countless dust and smoke began to appear, Liu Tianyu squinted his eyes, and looked at the countless iron horses that were rushing madly towards this side more than ten miles away!
And behind them, more cavalry, in constant pursuit!
Along the way, the soldiers in the last row kept throwing down the packages in their hands, and the packages spread out in the air, and suddenly sprinkled the iron thistles all over the ground!
That thing was used to target the cavalry in ancient times, the thistle terrestris looks like a sea urchin, once the war horse stepped on it, not to mention that the sharp spikes will directly penetrate the hooves of the war horse, just like the car moving at high speed will overturn because of a stone, the same is true for the war horse, stepping on the thistle, even if the horse's hooves are not injured by the thistle, but after stepping on it, it is likely to cause unstable standing, so that it will fall directly!
And after falling, it is a chain reaction, and the war horses behind may also be tripped, and the result is that they keep falling, constantly falling, and becoming a chain reaction!
However, at this time, the effect of thistle terrestris is not very good, the Turkic riding skills are too good, this group of people grew up on horseback since childhood, the war horse and they have become one, and the unity of man and horse is them, so even if the Tang army in front of them unexpectedly threw down a large number of thistles, they followed closely behind and easily avoided countless thistles!
However, although the thistle terrestris failed to make a contribution, it greatly delayed their speed, making the distance between them and the Tang army constantly widen.
In the end, the distance between the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic cavalry became larger and larger, and the Tang cavalry was a full kilometer ahead.
"Coming, coming, everyone is ready for me!"
Seeing the Turkic army getting closer and closer, the hundred horsemen behind Liu Tianyu began to take place, and ten ox horn crossbows tied to stink bombs pointed forward and were ready to attack.
Another quarter of an hour's work.
Li Shimin's escape from the pursuit of the Turkic army appeared in front of Liu Tianyu.
"Immortal Master~~!" Li Shimin, who had just escaped from the pursuit of the Turkic army, didn't even have time to calm his anger, and after simply saluting Liu Tianyu, he turned his head and asked if the hundred horsemen were ready.
"Saint, everything is ready!"
Knowing that everything was ready and just waiting for his own order, Li Shimin took a deep breath and waved his hand.
"Put!"
With the order, ten horned crossbows tied to stink bombs were fired at the Turkic army.
Sou~~~!
The horned crossbow is definitely a weapon of war in this era.
However, only ten horned crossbows fired crossbow arrows, which was a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of thousands of Turks.
Originally, hearing the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, the Turkic army also subconsciously shuddered, obviously they knew the power of this weapon of war.
However, when they found that only ten crossbow arrows were fired, they relaxed their vigilance again.
Ten crossbow arrows are only, even if one can shoot ten people, then ten is only a hundred.
A hundred people is nothing compared to a hundred thousands.
Jieli, who didn't know why, even wanted to open his mouth to laugh at Li Shimin.
In his opinion, Li Shimin is in a hurry, and Li Shimin is being chased to the end of the road.
If it weren't for that, how could he only shoot ten crossbow arrows at this time, which was obviously the inability of Li Shimin's side to launch an orderly counterattack.
However, Jieli was overjoyed too soon.
Before he could say the words mocking Li Shimin, he suffocated back as the crossbow bolt landed and the stink bomb exploded.
"Vomit ......"
One stink bomb can cover 5,000 meters, 200,000 troops, even if the battle line is a little longer, but ten stink bombs are enough to cover all of them.
One by one, the stink bombs exploded, and all the Turkic soldiers suddenly widened their eyes, and then covered their eyes and began to scream.
The gas emitted by the foul smell is also a terrible irritation to the eyes!
"Ah......h
A Turkic soldier just screamed, took a sharp breath, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and then fell to the ground in a daze.
Take a sharp breath, the terrible smell directly surpasses the sense of smell, and even the respiratory tract is covered at once!
Countless Turks fell to the ground and began to vomit frantically, but more of them were directly led by the war horses to run wildly, and one by one the war horses all exploded, and they began to flee like crazy!
Animals have a more sensitive sense of smell, so stink bombs are more harmful to animals.
Countless horses began to flee frantically, but the result of the chaos was to increase the breathing rate.
A breath of foul breath inhaled into the body, barely able to hold on.
But a few bad breaths entered the body, and I couldn't hold on to it at the moment.
In this way, one after another war horses suddenly fell to the ground while running, foaming at the mouth, and fainted by the stench!
In the grass, the rabbits kept crawling out, but they didn't run a few steps, and they also fainted on the ground.
...... It stands to reason that rabbits should have some resistance to smell, because rabbit poop is very smelly, but now even rabbits have fainted!
You can see how sharp this smell is!
In the whole Weishui, there was a turbulent "vomiting sound" all of a sudden.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, all kneeling......
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha......"
Li Shimin put his hand on his forehead, and he was excited to see it.
To be honest, Li Shimin really never thought that he would be at war with the Turks at this time, nor did he think that fighting with the Turks would be in this way.
In Li Shimin's view, starting a war with the Turks should be something after the stabilization of the Tang Dynasty.
And even if there is a war, it will be a vicious battle.
And yet now.
Datang can be said to have won this battle with zero damage.
Dozens or even hundreds of people were injured, which is really zero damage compared to a war of this scale.
How can Li Shimin be unhappy, how can he be unhappy.
Behind Li Shimin, all the soldiers were also happily waiting, waiting for an order, they rushed over, cut the grass and harvest vegetables, and killed all the Turks!
It's a credit, and you can pick it up by bending down.
"Sage, it's almost over, give the order!"
Du Ruhui shouted at the happy Li Shimin, Li Shimin nodded: "Jun Xian, order Wei Chi Gong and Cheng to bite Jin, attack immediately, capture Jieli and Tuli alive, and kill all the other tribal leaders, all the main Turkic forces, and all the other prisoners, if there is resistance, kill them directly!"
Li Shimin's order was issued, and Li Junxian immediately ordered the heralds to start raising bonfires to convey military orders.
As the order came out, I saw that Datang's army began to move!
All the soldiers, covering their mouths with wet cloths, began to slaughter in a frenzy!
Yes, slaughter!
Pure massacre, although the wet cloth can't completely resist the stench, but compared to the Turkic army that doesn't even have a wet cloth, it's really much stronger.
Wet cloth can always play a role.
Therefore, in the face of the butcher's knives of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, the Turkic soldiers had no power to fight back.
One by one, the Tang soldiers brandished their weapons and began to cut off the heads of the enemy one by one.
Jieli watched his subordinates being slaughtered, but he couldn't do anything, he couldn't even vomit straight, and he still had the ability to take care of his subordinates at this time.
Cheng Yanjin found Jieli as quickly as possible, without any hesitation, he grabbed Jieli and ran towards Li Shimin!
One is to fight for merit, and the other is that I really can't stand the smell!
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
"Jieli, do you still recognize me?"
Li Shimin squatted on a high chair, Jieli knelt down the slope, and his body exuded an amazing stench, if you look closely, you will find that whether it is Li Shimin or the others present, except for Liu Tianyu, there is no mouth and nose covering.
These are all a group of people who want to save face!
Let Jieli kneel in front of him, when he is so handsome, when he is so pretending to be forced, covering his mouth and nose will greatly reduce the effect of pretending to be forced!
"Vomit ......"
Jie used vomiting to represent his heart, Li Shimin's face was ugly, but he also knew how terrible the stench was, Jieli was only in the stench for ten minutes, and his whole body was as if he had been in the cesspool for several years.
It's horrible!
Just the smell of contamination is so terrible, how terrible is that smelly area?
The army of 50,000 was vomiting and killing at the same time, and as a result, the skunk musk mixed with the smell of blood became even more disgusting!
On the plain, it should have been the place where the Turkic cavalry was best at fighting, but it became the burial place of the Turkic army of tens of thousands.
"I am the son of the eagle in the sky, Li Shimin, I didn't expect you to use such a method!"
Jie Li finally took a breath, ignoring the stench, he took a big breath, and stared at Li Shimin with a pair of wolf-like eyes.
Li Shimin sneered: "Son of the eagle, but now that you have been given discounted wings by me, the eagle with broken wings can also be regarded as an eagle?"
"I'm not convinced!"
Jieli roared loudly: "If it weren't for your Tang people's conspiracy, you weak Tang people would not be able to fight our wolf-like Turks at all!"
Jieli's words made Fang Xuanling and the others on the side laugh.
Tang Jian's face was disdainful: "Jieli, the king is defeated and defeated, the soldier, the trick, the two countries are at war, those who can kill people are good schemes, there is no conspiracy at all, only brainless barbarians, only know how to use brute force, I Datang can use the simplest way to kill your Turkic army of tens of thousands, why not?"
Jieli Khan's face was pale, and when he looked back, there was only a foul smell in the distance, and the heart-rending vomiting of the Turkic soldiers, and of course, there were also smart ones, holding things to cover their mouths and noses, but the stench was not only very harmful to the mouth and nose, but also to the eyes.
Sight, smell, and even hearing are deprived because of the neighing of war horses and the vomiting and screaming of the people around them!
Turks, how else to fight?
Can't see, can't smell, can't hear!
How can there be a war like this?
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are covering their mouths and noses, which is very easy to distinguish, but if they vomit on the ground, they can go up directly with a knife, although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are also vomiting, but when all the soldiers vomit, they will carefully protect the wet cloth used to cover their mouths.
This thing is so important, once it gets dirty, it won't be killed by your companions, and it will stink to death here.
There is no need to talk about the war like this, the stench here will last for thirty days, and after thirty days, the stench will slowly disappear, and it will take at least ninety days to completely lose the smell!
Well...... The same is true for people!
Jieli looked desperate, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, 50,000 people, his Turkic soldiers, hundreds of thousands, but now hundreds of thousands of people have no ability to resist, a soldier only needs to hold a weapon, and gently wave it at the enemy's neck, and the enemy will reduce one person.
Hundreds of thousands of people, assigned, one person only needs to cut off two or three heads!
Of course, it is impossible for these Turks to kill them all!
Even if Li Shimin had the intention to kill them all, Liu Tianyu would not let him.
A large number of Turks, this is a good labor.
Labor represents wealth, and a fool will throw away all the wealth he has.
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
Looking at the high-spirited Li Shimin in front of him, and looking back at the tribe waiting to be slaughtered like pigs and cows, Jieli was desperate.
After struggling for a few breaths, he finally crawled at Li Shimin's feet.
"King Tang, I lost! I am willing to give everything I have, spare my life!"
Jieli came over heroically, and even thought that if he had the opportunity, he would defeat Chang'an and directly destroy the Tang Dynasty.
When Li Shimin kept sending people over to "beg for mercy", Jielina called a "disdainful".
...... But in less than half an hour, from heaven to hell!
The Turkic army suffered the most terrible defeat in history, with 50,000 people in the Tang Dynasty and more than 100,000 in the Turks, but the number of deaths in the Tang Dynasty is not even a hundred, but among these 100 people, there may be more than 90 accidental injuries!
Before, the Tang army was chased by the Turks, and it seemed to be very embarrassing.
However, the Tang army was embarrassed, and that was just an embarrassment.
The embarrassed Tang Army did not lose much at all.
After that, as soon as the stink bomb was thrown, the Turkic army no longer had any resistance!
The war horses fled frantically, but they couldn't run out of the stinky area, so batches of war horses all fell to the ground and convulsed!
Datang has really made too much money this time!
Removed the captured Turkic soldiers, and a large number of war horses.
You must know that when the Tang army waved the butcher knife, the blade did not point at the war horse.
These more than 200,000 and nearly 300,000 war horses are basically safe and sound, and most of these war horses can be perfectly received by Datang after half a year!
Datang was originally short of horses.
And if it was a previous war, the mortality rate of war horses would be even higher than that of humans!
But now it is different, except for the war horses brought by the Turks, almost all of them are safe and sound, a total of two or three hundred thousand war horses, which is more than enough to supplement the gap in the Tang Dynasty.
