Chapter 513: Entering the Turkic steppes

"Regarding the address of the cavalry battalion, you and the leaders have a good discussion, try to make everyone satisfied, no matter which tribe has something, our cavalry must arrive as soon as possible, in short, something similar to Xue Yantuo cannot happen in the future, if this kind of thing happens, then don't blame this king for being unkind to you."

Li Xiang said very well, these people are here to protect the leaders, but in the ears of the leaders, this seems to be another way of saying, if we make a mistake, can your cavalry also arrive as soon as possible? Or maybe if we do something wrong, will your cavalry punish us in the first place?

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will do our best to ensure the safety of the Turkic steppes."

More than a dozen junior generals in the army said loudly, and this voice startled many timid Turkic leaders.

They are also chatting in private whispers, not to mention how the combat effectiveness is, just looking at this mental outlook, this is already surpassing them too much, if there is no Xue Yantuo, the military force on the Turkic steppe will not be defeated so quickly, now it is good, the useful people of all tribes have been siphoned off by Li Xiang, and 15,000 cavalry have been transferred to be stationed here, and the Turkic steppe will definitely be surnamed Li in the future.

"I also want to tell you two sentences, you should also pay attention to stationing here, you must respect the ethnic customs between the tribes, if some people insist on going their own way, and wait until the next time this king inspects the grassland, there will be no good fruit for you to eat, but if you stop and ensure the safety of the grassland, this king will also make a statement to the emperor and give you an official and a knight."

Li Xiang's words were ostensibly said to his subordinates, but in fact, they were also said to the leaders of various tribes, you should be stationed in the grassland according to the requirements of the Tang Dynasty, and in the end I will not treat you badly, but if you are looking for trouble at will, the Tang Dynasty garrison court will not let you go.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will choose people from the tribe who are familiar with the Chinese language, so that they will be the liaison officers between us and the garrison, and there will definitely be no conflict."

Several tribal leaders stood up to express their position, they also saw Li Xiang's determination, the last time Jili Khan was defeated, although the Tang army said that it would garrison troops on the grassland, but it was not really implemented, everyone was relieved, and now it seems that that kind of thing is unlikely to happen.

"Then I will thank you all the leaders for them first, and in the future, you will get along day and night on the grassland, if there is anything to do with the court first, don't make decisions without permission, if you need help, the court will help you."

If you loosen a little bit for these people, they can't wait to cut the rope, the people on the grassland are naturally broad-minded, and they are more courageous when doing things, so Li Xiang didn't dare to put them too loose.

"Report to Your Highness, the firearms battalion is ready."

Just when these people were talking, the firearms battalion had already been prepared, because of the rain in the last battle, so the firearms battalion had no way to come out, and now it was already sunny, just when they showed their skills, they could also let the people on the grassland see, our Datang's combat method is already different from before.

"Then let them fight well and cheer up the leaders."

The last time these people performed for the Tubo people, they frightened the people up and down the Tubo country, whether it was an ambitious high-level or someone who wanted to eat a full meal, when the common people closed their eyes and thought of that scene, they had only one thought in their hearts, that is, we could not be enemies with the people of the Tang Empire, and our bodies would be torn to pieces by these explosives.

Thinking of the expressions of those Tubo people, of course Li Xiang wants to arrange a game for these people, after you know the power of gunpowder, you will also be afraid of Datang from the bottom of your heart in the future, don't look at these people's expressions are very scared now, but if you turn around and will oppose Datang, then only they know, what they have to do now is to break their psychological defense.

The people on the Turkic steppe have heard about the firearms battalion of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, but they have never had the opportunity to meet, and they have also heard some gossip from other places, this person helped Li Xiang win the Tuyuhun War, and also suppressed the Tubo people, it is said that this time Goguryeo They also made a great contribution, and now I want to see how the war is fought.

Gunpowder has indeed never appeared in this era, so when they tiptoe to look into the distance, a violent explosion came instantly, and the air wave directly blew off many people's hats, looking at the cloud pillar rising in the distance, coupled with the deafening sound, many people felt that it was a god descending to earth, and they didn't know what words to use to describe this, after all, they had never seen such a thing in their minds.

"Your Highness, this and this, this ......"

Some of the tribal leaders didn't know what to say, they saw very clearly just now, on the hill not far away, there was also a small stone house built there, but now don't talk about the stone house, including the hill, it seems that it has been directly flattened, how is this done?

"This is what we Datang have newly researched, this is just a way of fighting, in fact, what we like is another way of fighting, please continue to watch."

After Li Xiang's words were finished, the ballistas in the barracks opened fire, and everyone only heard a whooshing sound, and then they saw explosions everywhere on the hillside, one small fire after another.

Judging from our position, it seems that there was not much power in the past, but some things placed in place were blown up in an instant, if our army was there, there was such a thing falling in the sky, it only took a few breaths, our army might be reduced to nothing, and the Tang Dynasty army with this kind of artifact, how could we be their opponents?

"Xue Yantuo's people are really tired of being crooked, they dare to treat us Datang like this, they must be cut with a thousand knives."

Listening to the words of a tribal leader, Su Dingfang pursed his lips, you have seen the powerful weapon of our Datang, which green onion are you Datang? You don't blush when you speak......
