Turkic smoke cloud 030 gunpowder on the stage of history
Bahan watched from the tent and all these people were stupid.
What was that? Is it a thunderbolt?
If the Tang Army can even recruit the thunderbolt, then what will he do to fight the other party?
How did he know that it was all the explosives that Li Jing brought this time.
The research institute established by Li Tai outside Shanghe Village made slow progress in the study of artillery, mainly with the forging technology of this era, and it was not easy to forge a qualified cannon barrel.
But with Tang Ping providing the formula, it is not difficult to make gunpowder.
This time, Li Jing sent troops and brought out all the gunpowder made by the research institute.
Today, when he found that the Turkic army was preparing to attack, Li Jing was ready.
Those soldiers of the Tang Army wearing Turkic clothes, when they arrived at the place, seemed to be digging a pit to prepare for barbecue, but in fact they had buried those explosives.
Today they were almost in a straight line, much more spread than yesterday, but how could the angry Bahan find such a detail.
Even if he found out, he didn't know that there was such a thing as gunpowder, and he didn't know that these people were digging pits for the Turkic army.
When the Turkic army came out of the camp, the Don soldiers lit the fuse and began to run behind.
This lead was researched by Li Tai, who discovered different materials and manufacturing processes that could make leads with different burning times.
This time, Li Jing used the kind that lasted the longest.
When the Turkic cavalry ran past that position, the lead ignited the explosives buried in the earth, and it became what it is now.
In fact, these primitive explosives were not very powerful, and there were very few Turkic cavalrymen who were directly injured.
But this is the first time that explosives have appeared on the battlefields of this world, and no one has ever seen anything like it.
The thunderous roar and dazzling fire were the nemesis of the cavalry.
Under such a loud noise, the war horse, which had not undergone special training, had long since escaped from the control of the knight on its body and began to flee in all directions according to the instinct of animals.
The Xuanjia cavalry of the Tang Army was killed at this time, and those Turkic cavalry could not resist at all.
After all, their mounts are like crazy, and the only thing they can do is to let themselves sit firmly on the horse, because at this time, once they are dismounted, they will basically only be trampled to death by random hooves.
Elite

The first round of the Xuanjia Ride was similar to the straw man when he usually practiced.
At most, between two breaths, the entire Turkic cavalry array was killed.
Then it's a turn, one, two, three, four, and one more time.
The two waves of charging ended, and the entire Turkic cavalry was killed.
The Xuanjia cavalry circled back to the Tang army camp from both ends, and then a rain of arrows washed against the Turkic cavalry array.
The skillful three-stage salvo that had been practiced by Li Jing for a long time, after one person threw the feather arrow, he quickly retreated, and then the second and third people continued to throw.
In this way, the rain of arrows continued to fall in the Turkic array as if it had never stopped.
In normal times, with a maximum of two volleys, the Turkic cavalry would be able to burst in front of them with a rain of arrows and begin to slaughter the Tang archers.
But now, the Turkic cavalry was in a mess, and the disadvantages of its weak defense were undoubtedly revealed, and it was unable to organize an effective charge against the Tang army's archery troops, and the consequence was that they could only be sent to death in vain.
Although the camp claims to have more than 100,000 troops, some of them are Turkic slave infantry, and some are auxiliaries, and their combat effectiveness is extremely low.
These 60,000 cavalry are basically the most elite force of Bahan, and now looking at the slaughter on this side, Bahan's heart is dripping blood.
"Mingjin, call it up!" With the last of his strength, he shouted hoarsely.
At this time, the war horses that were frightened by the explosion in front were basically killed and wounded, and the rest basically recovered.
But all the Turkic cavalry were terrified, they didn't know where the explosion just now came from, and now they were suffering heavy casualties, and after hearing the signal of Mingjin to withdraw their troops, they all ran back towards the Turkic moraine mouth camp with no life.
For fear that he would run slowly, he would encounter the next round of thunder from the Tang Army.
The Xuanjia cavalry is a heavy cavalry, and its role is to charge into battle, and it is not good at repeatedly rushing and killing on the battlefield.
And the rest of the Tang army was mostly infantry, and now the Turks are going to run, and they can't catch up.
What's more, today's results are already very amazing, and Li Jing will not be greedy for merit.
In the final inventory of the battlefield, in today's battle, more than 8,000 Turkic cavalry were killed on the spot, and thousands of wounded soldiers were left on the battlefield.
The total number of casualties is at least a little over one.
"What about these wounded soldiers?" A general asks for instructions

Road.
Li Jing looked at Tang Ping and asked, "What does Scholar Tang think?"
Tang Ping thought for a moment and said, "Bring them all back, and let those Turks take care of them."
Although he knew that thousands of wounded soldiers were a huge burden, it was impossible for Tang Ping to say that they were all killed.
These Turkic soldiers are different from the last time they invaded the Tang Dynasty, strictly speaking, they are only guarding their own territory.
Moreover, Tang Ping felt that those Turks who surrendered with Kang Sumi could not send weapons to them to kill the enemy, so it was better to let them take care of their own compatriots.
Although Kang Sumi didn't speak, a hint of joy flashed on his face.
The Turkic soldiers who died on the battlefield, it is no wonder that the Tang Army, after all, you will die or I will live on the battlefield.
Now that he is attached to the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to say that he asks the Tang soldiers to show mercy to their subordinates when fighting.
But after the battle, of course, he hoped that the wounded captives would survive, after all, they all had the same blood as himself.
Li Jing nodded, these wounded soldiers are actually killed or stayed, they are all okay.
If there were no Kang Sumi's troops, it would still be troublesome to take care of them, but now there is no such concern: "Then trouble General Kang Sumi, if these people can be cured, try their best to cure them, after they are cured, those who are willing to belong to the Tang Dynasty can stay, and those who are unwilling can be sent to mining."
After saying that, he asked, "Have we counted our casualties?"
A partial general replied, "General Li, this time we lost more than a dozen people in the Xuanjia Cavalry, and then the Gun Shield Battalion lost dozens of people."
Such casualties are actually negligible.
Compared with the Tang Army camp, the morale of the Mokou camp opposite can be said to be extremely low.
In particular, there were a few generals who had lost too many cavalry, and their faces were as black as the bottom of the pot.
You must know that the Turkic armies are all a combination of various tribes, and the soldiers they lose are all warriors of their own tribes.
Just when everyone was silent in the whole military tent, a guard came to report:
"Khan, a few people have come from across the river, claiming to be messengers from Murjilian, who want to see you."
