Ansa's actions were almost as expected by Li Chengqian.
They did not attack with their entire army, but only sent more than 10,000 troops.
And their actions can also reveal their purpose.
It is nothing more than to test whether the Western Turks are really withdrawing, or whether they have set up an ambush plan for their own side to invite you to the urn.
More than ten thousand Ansa soldiers in cloth military uniforms lined up in a neat battle formation, holding muskets and pushing artillery pieces. They walked out of the military camp and pushed northward along the low part of the hillside.
At the same time, five thousand soldiers and horses led by Chen Fukuan also headed in the opposite direction.
Li Chengqian's purpose is very simple, which is to test the opponent's firepower and take advantage of the situation to find out what level the opponent's technology has advanced to.
Soon, the sentries on both sides detected the other's movements.
Angsa's side was the first to react and moved significantly faster.
But Chen Fukuan's side remained as usual, maintaining the original marching speed as if they didn't know anything.
After hearing the sentry's report, the Ansa general also laughed out loud.
"These savages from the East are really stupid."
General Ansa sneered and said, "Don't they know what it means to be condescending?"
Hearing this, the deputy general next to him also echoed: "General, you also said that the other party is a barbarian."
"Do they know such advanced military tactics?"
"At this moment, they are probably still waiting for close combat with our troops using those swords, guns and sticks."
Then, the two looked at each other and laughed loudly.
After the laughter subsided, General Ansa also said to the deputy general: "In this case, we can't give them a chance."
"Give the order, starting now, the entire army will advance slowly and make as little noise as possible."
"When you are a hundred steps away from the top of the mountain, you are charging upward."
Said it before.
If you want to go to the military camp in Ansa, you need to climb a hill.
The same is true for Angsa who wants to come to the Western Turks' military camp.
Whichever of the two sides can occupy the hillside will definitely have an absolute advantage.
But judging from the operation of putting down this general, he didn't take his opponent seriously at all.
In his view, his enemies were uncivilized savages.
Even if they were allowed to occupy the mountain first, there would be no problem.
Moreover, in this way, he can kill more enemies and receive more merits and rewards.
And judging from this guy's thoughts alone, we know that before this guy realizes, his enemies have already become soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, although there was no response from Chen Fukuan.
However, he has been paying close attention to the distance between the two parties.
By the time the messenger reported back, the distance between the two parties was less than 500 steps.
Chen Fukuan suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist and shouted: "Charge!"
After hearing his order, the five thousand soldiers of the Bingzhou Legion behind him gathered their strength and rushed towards the top of the mountain.
Call it a coincidence or not.
When Chen Fukuan led his people to the top of the mountain.
The Ansa army was still hiding there and marching slowly under the orders of their generals.
And when these Ansa soldiers saw the enemy suddenly appearing, they were also shocked.
The leading general also immediately ordered to refill ammunition.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from this.
The weapons and equipment of the Angsa Army were not as advanced as Li Chengqian imagined.
Not to mention goodbye, the firearms in their hands are still flintlock guns.
You know, this was what Li Chengqian used when he defeated the Japanese dwarf.
After he came back, he eliminated this game.
Not because of anything else, just because its operating principle is too complicated.
The principle of a flintlock gun is no different from the firing method of a matchlock gun.
When using it, first use a long rod to stuff the gunpowder and projectiles into the barrel, then break off the flint and outer powder safety cover and place the gunpowder.
The falling flint ignites the gunpowder in the barrel of the gun, and the projectile is ejected.
This kind of firearm is not bad when used against enemies without firearms.
But if you are facing an enemy with firearms, it is almost like seeking death.
The simplest point is that when you load the bullet, someone else's bullet may have already hit you.
And Li Chengqian officially saw through this.
So after beating the Japanese dwarf away, he began to develop percussion guns without asking the ordnance battalion to mass-produce flintlock guns.
Later, the bullets were upgraded, and he just let the ordnance battalion mass-produce them, and then popularized the percussion guns to the entire army.
And this was something Li Chengqian didn't expect.
He overestimated his enemies and underestimated himself.
But at this moment, seeing the enemy slowly reloading, how could Chen Fukuan coddle him?
He suddenly swung the knife forward: "Let go!"
boom! boom! boom! boom!
The moment they heard the order, the soldiers standing in the front row immediately pulled the triggers down the mountain.
The biggest difference between war in the firearm age and the cold weapon age is that once a war starts, it will continue.
When the soldiers in the first row emptied the ammunition in the gun chamber, they immediately retreated to refill the ammunition.
Then the soldiers from the second row came forward and continued shooting at the enemies below.
At the same time, the Angsa Army was completely fooled.
You know, they have fought with the Western Turks more than once.
The previous Western Turks were always crushed by them with firearms.
But now it's better, the one who was crushed with a firearm turned out to be him.
The soldiers standing in the front row didn't even have a chance to raise their guns and fight back, so they were beaten with bloody holes all over their bodies and then rolled down the mountain.
At this time, all the Ansa army was on the hillside.
At this moment, those who were killed or injured in the front row almost all turned into rolling logs and rocks.
Often when one person rolls down, four or five will be brought down together. The scene is like putting dumplings into a pot during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing such a scene, Chen Fukuan was actually a little dumbfounded.
This is what His Highness said, the terrifyingly strong Ansa Army?
Why do you look so weak?
In fact, he was not the only one who had such an idea, the entire Bingzhou Legion soldiers also thought so.
You know, before coming here, Li Chengqian said more than once that he could not underestimate the enemy, or that the Angsa army was very powerful.
But at this moment, the two sides are fighting, it is simply like beating a person and a child.
It can be said that the opponent was unable to fight back.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Li Chengqian.
Who said that since the Tang Dynasty had firearms, it never launched wars with foreign countries?
No matter how good the weapon is, no one knows how powerful it is unless it is used.
Just like when Li Chongyi led his troops to attack Baekje.
Who would have thought that Li Chongyi would penetrate Baekje in three days?
At this moment, Chen Fukuan also encountered a situation similar to that of Li Chongyi.
After just a few rounds of offensive, the Ansa soldiers in front of them were beaten so hard that they dared not show their faces.
Some people even started running down the mountain.
General Naansa, who had been looking relaxed just now and was ready to kill more enemies and go back to claim credit, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
He grabbed the deputy general who was retreating and asked in a roar: "What on earth is going on and why are we retreating?"
"General, their firepower is too strong."
The deputy general said with a bitter look on his face: "Brothers can't stand it at all..."
