Chapter 156 Bloody Battle
Facing the Tang army¡¯s chariot formation, Xue Yantuo¡¯s army was unable to break through, so they had to dismount and fight on foot.
At the same time, a troop of several thousand Xueyantuo cavalry appeared on the other side of the mountain pass, and the Xueyantuo people were ready to attack from both sides.
Seeing that the Tang army was in danger, an imperceptible smile appeared on Li Zhen's face.
The people of Xue Yantuo still fell into their own scheme.
As long as they dismount and fight on foot, they will lose the impact of the cavalry, and their own musketeers and grenadiers will cause huge damage to them.
"Whoops" Several Xue Yantuo soldiers rushed to the sacks of the cart array and were about to climb over the carts and rush into the array.
"Fire!" Nina yelled.
"Bang!" The next moment, more than a hundred rifles fired at the same time, knocking down nearly a hundred Xue Yantuo soldiers at once.
"Fire!"
The first wave of musketeers withdrew and reloaded, and the second wave of musketeers came forward. After the gunfire, hundreds of Xue Yantuo soldiers fell to the ground.
When the second wave of musketeers withdrew, the third wave of musketeers immediately opened fire and killed dozens of Xue Yantuo soldiers.
At the same time, the first wave of musketeers had changed their ammunition and were ready to shoot again
¡°Bang bang!¡±
Five hundred musketeers kept shooting from a distance, and Xue Yantuo's soldiers fell in pieces.
Within a moment, thousands of Xue Yantuo soldiers fell.
Seeing this scene, all the people in Xue Yantuo were dumbfounded.
This is not a battle at all, this is a massacre!
The pipes that made loud noises and smoked in Tang Jun's hands were too powerful. They were more accurate and more powerful than bows and arrows.
Moreover, these smoking pipes are continuous, forming a continuous attack. More importantly, it seems that these smoking pipes can be launched without any effort. Everyone who is shot is bleeding, not to mention skin. Armor has no defense, and even iron armor cannot block the shots from these smoking pipes.
In the countless wars in the grassland for hundreds of years, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this kind of weapon has never appeared.
It¡¯s really terrible.
What kind of weapons are those smoking pipes?
It¡¯s so terrible!
"Ready! Release!"
"boom!"
"Ready! Release!"
"boom!"
With Nina¡¯s roars, musket bullets continued to hit Xue Yantuo¡¯s army charging over from a distance.
At the same time, the five hundred grenadiers behind the musketeers were also on alert. As long as a cavalry broke through the range and entered within fifty meters, they would throw grenades one by one into Xue Yantuo's formation.
"Boom!"
With the sound of muskets and the explosion of grenades, Xue Yantuo's troops fell one by one.
The battle has completely turned into a massacre.
Originally, the Qianniu Guards wanted to use giant crossbows to fight, but they suddenly found that they were redundant. Instead of wasting crossbow arrows, it was better to stand in the formation and rest.
The arrows of these Xueyantuo people did not have a far range as their muskets, so the muskets easily killed the Xueyantuo people from a distance, while the Xueyantuo people's bows and arrows did not have enough range to hurt the Tang army at all.
Occasionally, Xue Yantuo's cavalry rushed forward, but were knocked down by shrapnel from grenades and shot down by bows and arrows.
Xue Yantuo¡¯s two-pronged attack faced the Tang Army¡¯s ring fortifications, showing no temper at all.
In fact, there are very few Xue Yantuo cavalry who can stand through the barrage of muskets. Therefore, the five hundred grenadiers rarely use grenades and mostly watch the excitement from the sidelines.
Using a musket is not like a bow and arrow. After shooting a few dozen arrows, you will basically have no strength. However, even if the musket is loaded with hundreds of bullets, the musketeer can still be active without worrying about getting tired.
Li Zhen looked proud, this was simply a massacre.
In the history of China, the duel between cold weapons and hot weapons has turned into massacre many times.
As far as I know, in the Battle of Baliqiao in the Second Opium War, the British and French allied forces massacred the most elite Mongolian prince Seng Gelinqin's tribe in the Qing Dynasty at that time with only a few thousand people, and wiped out thousands of the Qing Dynasty's elite cavalry, while their own side only had Five people died.
The current scene is similar to the Battle of Bali Bridge. The Xue Yantuo people originally wanted to use the mountain pass to attack from both sides, but this mountain pass is not conducive to the expansion of the Xue Yantuo people's forces, so that the Xue Yantuo people can only attack fromLater, thousands of troops were invested.
The Tang army led by Li Zhen made full use of the terrain and maximized the power of muskets, leaving Xue Yantuo's cavalry useless. They could only passively adopt refueling tactics and plunge into the battle one after another. In the end, they all became A living target for the musketeers.
This is a massacre without suspense. When a cold weapon army in a disadvantageous terrain encounters a hot weapon army in a favorable terrain, even if this army is only an early hot weapon army, the result can only be massacre.
There is a huge generation difference in the weapons of the two sides, and the Tang army has a geographical advantage, so the outcome of this battle is destined from the beginning.
This massacre lasted for an entire hour.
The sky is gray and the wind is blowing hard.
A bone-chilling chill made Yanmang's heart feel as if a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice had pressed down on him, making his heart feel cold.
Yan Mang couldn¡¯t believe his eyes.
In just one hour, all ten thousand Xue Yantuo warriors were wiped out.
You must know that these ten thousand warriors are all Xue Yantuo's elite cavalry wearing iron armor!
But they didn¡¯t even touch the edge of the Tang army, and they all died on both sides of the mountain pass.
What¡¯s more important is that with the annihilation of the entire army of 10,000 fine cavalry, the morale of the remaining Xue Yantuo army was completely wiped out.
Some troops have refused to launch such suicidal charges against the Tang army again.
For a while, the battlefield became quiet. Only on both sides of the mountain pass, the bodies of countless war horses and Xue Yantuo soldiers piled up near the mountain pass. The blood soaked the ground into a purple color.
On the battlefield, an injured war horse covered in blood stood alone on the grass, lowering its head to eat grass. However, with this force, the blood from the wound burst out, and the war horse let out a sad hiss, fell to the ground, and struggled. After a few clicks, there was no movement.
A Xueyantuo soldier forcefully stuffed the exposed intestines into his stomach. However, he only stuffed it halfway and he stopped breathing.
Another soldier from Xue Yantuo, whose legs were broken, dragged his injured legs and crawled around on the ground until all the blood drained from his body.
Li Zhen looked at the silent battlefield and frowned.
This is the power of the musketeers. They have a crushing advantage against the cold weapon army. Five hundred musketeers killed at least 10,000 Xue Yantuo's elite cavalry in one hour. After this battle, the musketeers of the Tang Dynasty will definitely It will become an eternal nightmare for Xueyantuo people!
I looked around and saw that after fighting for an hour, these musketeers were not physically exhausted, but they were just a little nervous. They were taking advantage of the break in the battle to rest.
Li Zhen knows that the Xue Yantuo people have lost their courage and now is the best time to defeat them! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
