Chapter 191: Life Harvest
Hou Junji on the side said disapprerovitously: "The Turks have burned everything they think is the best to the Kunlun God for this virtue, and I told you, I sent someone to take a sneak look, and those things were finally fed to the birds." ”
Li Jing glanced at him: "You are idle." ”
Hou Junji smiled and stopped speaking, because Tu Shi on the opposite side had already commanded the army to slowly advance to this side.
According to convention, the cavalry charge is best between fifty and one hundred paces, and after five hundred paces, the war horse will run and die in the way of the charge. At this time, how far was Tu Shi from Li Jing, a thousand meters away, so Tu Shi was ready to slowly march to a place three hundred steps away from the Tang army before starting to charge.
The distance of more than 1,000 meters was already within the attack range of the artillery, and in order to improve the effect of the attack, Li Jingjing and the others led the army to a position at a distance of 1,000 steps.
Tu Shi calmly urged the horse to move forward slowly, and soon reached the position of a thousand steps, Li Jingling's flag had been raised, seeing that the enemy army had reached the predetermined firing position, Li Jingling's flag waved, and the quiet mountains and fields were instantly filled with the roar of artillery.
Due to the serious lack of estimation of the Tang Army's new weapons, at the beginning of the artillery bombardment, Tu Shi still advanced at the previous speed without changing his face, but they were all grassland horses under their crotches, and they were usually most afraid of thunder and lightning on the grassland, but there were fewer thunder and lightning in the grassland, so basically the clever riders could still control the war horses under their crotch in thunderstorms.
But the roar of the artillery and the explosion of gunpowder, and the thunder and lightning were undoubted, and in the continuous explosion, even the best rider could not control the horses under the crotch, so soon, the formation of the army led by Tushi began to scatter, and the place where the key shells exploded was directly blown out of an open field, and a group of warriors fell.
It's been bombed for a long time, and Tu Shi can't stand it, and he hasn't engaged in a battle yet, he has all been killed and wounded, and he doesn't need to count, he knows that he has suffered heavy losses with a sweep of his eyes.
"What the hell is Tang Jun using here? The gods are armed, and the attack distance is far greater than that of arrows. Tu Shi thought in his heart: "We can't go on like this, we must attack immediately, otherwise we will risk that we will not stand on our own and collapse ourselves." ”
According to the habit of sudden shi, large-scale cavalry battles, of course, the denser the better, the dense formation pushed over, like a plough court sweeping holes, this is a great magic weapon for him to win. Don't you know that this is exactly what Li Jing wants, when the lethality of the cannonball is the greatest, of course, the denser the crowd, the greater the lethality.
Seeing that more and more of his own people were falling under artillery fire, Tushi had to order to speed up the attack, and when he finally reached the position of 500 paces, Tushi immediately ordered to charge.
Li Jing on the opposite side watched the army commanded by Tushi rushing like a tide, and Wu Zi commanded the artillery to open fire, and waited for Tushi's men and horses to come to a position of about 300 steps through the smoke of gunpowder, and the Tushi army thought that it was finally possible to engage the Tang army, who knew that the ground suddenly collapsed, so it is not accurate, it should be because the density of the mines was too large, and they exploded at the same time, directly overturning the ground.
The Chinese army was commanding the army to rush suddenly, and when he saw that there was suddenly a high smoke and earth wall in front of him, he immediately wanted to stop the army, but the army had already become a momentum, how could he stop immediately, and saw the army plunged into the smoke and disappeared, and could only hear the sound of explosions and the mournful roar of men and horses.
The front army has disappeared, the rear army found that the situation was wrong, plus the war horse was frightened, the formation was chaotic, and then there was a large-scale stampede, the scene was unbearable, and suddenly Shi's heart was dripping blood.
Looking at the smoke and dust that was constantly dissipating in front of him, as well as the tragic situation of a large area of stampede behind him, suddenly Shi's heart was dripping blood, what kind of devil did the Tang people use here? How can the ground be overturned, where are the people and horses before?
This is the scout's report: "Great Khan, affected by the sound just now, our Chinese army and rear army have been stampeded, and the Chinese army's war horses have lost more than 20 percent, and the rear army has also lost more than 10 percent. ”
What kind of battle is this fighting, the Tang army didn't touch it, the front army disappeared, and the rear army of the Chinese army also suffered heavy losses.
He didn't let Tu Shi wait long, he saw the situation of the front army, the smoke and soil dissipated, and the purgatory-like scene in front of him made Tu Shi's eyes split.
"My warriors, more than 60,000 people are gone." Tu Shi's eyes were black, and his body was shivering with cold.
More than 60,000 human and horse corpses are now lying on the ground, the living soldiers are wailing with their corpses, the chance of survival is slim, and the people and horses who are fortunate to pass through the ground area that have been turned over in the distance are also lying on the ground with arrows stuck in their bodies, and none of the more than 60,000 people are standing now, even if they are horses, there is no one standing.
Looking at the Tang Army again, it has retreated to a thousand steps away. The scene in front of them was not only suddenly shocked, but also Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Zhang Zhongping.
Now a large-scale artillery bombardment and large-scale use of mines have wiped out more than 60,000 enemies in an instant, and the visual impact is too great, even if they are used to seeing life and death, this scene makes them lose their minds for a while.
