This is the first time that wooden lumps have been used on the battlefield, and it is also the first time that gunpowder has been used on the battlefield, and the instigator of all this is dancing on the wall of Dingxiang City.
"Succeeded, they succeeded! The Turkic army is finished!!!" Luo Zhang shouted excitedly, clenching his fists.
Cheng Yaojin was confused. He looked at Luo Zhang as if he were a fool. He didn't know what Luo Zhang was yelling about. He didn't even see the army's triumphant return. How did he know it was successful?
"Uncle Cheng, listen, listen quickly!!!" Luo Zhang saw the puzzled Cheng Yaojin and hurriedly asked him to listen.
Soon Cheng Yaojin also heard a loud noise, coming from a distance. The sound was not loud at first, but became more and more deafening as time went by.
"Is this a land mine?" Cheng Yaojin murmured.
"What dry mines? This is the secret weapon I used in the show. This thing was used. Apparently Yuchi Jingde led them into the canyon, and they succeeded!" Luo Zhang laughed.
"Secret weapon? What is that?" Cheng Yaojin blinked and asked in confusion.
"You'll know when the army comes back and I'll take you out of the city to try it. Now we'd better wait quietly!" Luo Zhang said with a smile.
As a pioneer, Cheng Yaojin naturally didn't know about the wooden lumps escorted by Luo Zhang. Originally, he could know after Luo Zhang arrived, but who made him injured when the army arrived and did not attend Li Jing's deployment meeting, so I don't know much about Mu Qiao and his power.
Although he didn't understand what Luo Zhang was talking about, Cheng Yaojin felt a little relieved when he saw Luo Zhang's face that the army was determined to win. Luo Zhang was not the kind of person who was aimless. When he said victory, he might actually win. Although he didn't see the army returning to the city, he was still worried. After all, Yuchi Jingde was his old brother. Although the two of them quarreled every day, their brotherhood was stronger than anyone else.
Thirty thousand cavalry against 50,000 Turkic cavalry is a bit risky no matter how you look at it!
In the canyon, deafening explosions came one after another. This time, Li Ji got five boxes of wooden lumps from Li Jing. Each box contained fifty wooden lumps, making the total number two hundred and fifty. So many wooden lumps poured out. Down below, one can imagine what the crowded canyon will look like.
However, although the strategy of ambush the Turks was very successful, the width of the canyon was limited and could not include all the Turks. The Turks in the rear decisively withdrew after encountering an ambush in the front.
The Turkic coach was also among the retreating army, but his face was very ugly. He did not expect that his sudden advance would be ambushed by the Tang people. These Tang people were really hateful.
Fortunately, he was supported and evacuated by the generals as soon as he knew he was ambushed, and he was not affected. But he was unwilling to do so. He had won a great victory all the way. Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen to him? Damn it, damn it. ah.
Listening to the deafening explosion from behind, the Turkic commander was still frightened. The loud noise scared him to death. He didn't know how the Tang people did it, but the loud noise was like a punishment from heaven. Although he was unwilling to accept it, there was more. What’s more is fear!
When the Turkic commander was escorted all the way to the entrance of the canyon, he found that the place was filled with flames. All the Turkic cavalry who were leading the way were blocked and could not escape at all.
Seeing this scene, the Turkic commander looked up to the sky and shouted, "Changshengtian, you are trying to kill me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Jinda above the canyon exit issued an order to his men.
"Cum for me!"
A shower of arrows was fired at the Turks who were fleeing below.
The Turkic cavalry who originally thought they could escape were suddenly attacked by a hail of arrows. They were all worried that this was a place of death, and they were waiting to die when they came here.
The fighting lasted for a full hour, and until there were no more cavalry escaping in the canyon, Li Ji gave the order to withdraw his troops.
When the big rocks blocking the way were moved away, Li Ji led his people into the canyon to sweep again. If they met any Turks who were still alive, they would definitely go up and kill them. They didn't need prisoners.
But Li Ji was inexplicably shocked by what he passed along the way. The canyon road was full of broken limbs, bloodstains covered the entire canyon, and many of them were even trampled into minced meat by war horses.
Let alone living ones, it’s hard to find some decent corpses!
Not only was Li Ji inexplicably shocked, but the soldiers who followed him inside were also shocked.
For Li Ji and others who were using wooden knots for the first time, they had no idea that this thing was so powerful. With this thing, they were afraid of the Turks!
Of course, Li Ji didn't need to do the cleaning of the battlefield. He took a cursory look at the situation in the canyon and then left on horseback. He felt like vomiting after staying there for so long. The canyon was really a hell on earth. Look at it. He shuddered.
When Li Ji led the army back to the city, he was spotted by Cheng Yaojin from a distance. Cheng Yaojin was so happy when he saw the Tang army coming back with flags fluttering and neat steps.
Only then did he believe that what Luo Zhang just said was not a lie to him. Li Ji and the others really won. Didn't he see the sleds behind the army holding trophies as tall as one person?
When the army entered the city, the whole city of Dingxiang was boiling. This was the first great victory of the Tang army against the Turks. Who would have thought that the 30,000 Tang army would actually win against the 50,000 Turkic cavalry. It was a complete victory. The Tang army only suffered casualties. At the cost of a hundred men, 50,000 Turkic cavalry were wiped out. This was a heavy blow to the Turks!
Not to mention that the Tang army captured more than 20,000 war horses. If the wooden lumps had not been injured and killed many, the number of war horses would have been even greater.
With so many war horses captured, the Tang army was able to form a cavalry team. Of course, it was incomparable with the Turkic cavalry. After all, becoming a cavalry requires more than just one war horse, and it also requires a lot of training.
Of course, only the Tang Army who participated in the war knew the inside story. The information had not been leaked before. Who knew if there were spies inside? If the information was leaked, how could they ambush the Turks?
"Commander, Commander, great victory, great victory!" A group of generals rushed into the city lord's palace and reported to Li Jing.
Li Jing put down the brush in his hand, showed a smile and said: "Reward the three armies, you will not come home until you are drunk tonight!!!":
In the Turkic camp, the Turkic Khan was singing, dancing, eating and drinking. After receiving the news that his army had been wiped out by the Tang army, he drew his sword and killed all the dancing girls on the spot.
Until then, the Turkic Khan still did not believe the news. After repeated confirmations, when the news was true, one can imagine his anger.
Fifty thousand Turkic cavalry, these were his elite, died like this?
