Speaking of which, Pate is a rare warrior.
At such a moment, he could accept Edward's mission without hesitation.
And Edward didn't expect that this guy would agree so happily.
But he didn't show any surprise, and instead looked at Pate with pretense of appreciation and said, "On behalf of thirty thousand brothers, thank you."
After speaking, he summoned a few more of his own soldiers and gave them the same task.
And he ordered them to follow Pat closely to protect his safety.
After a few soldiers arrived, Pate did not hesitate at all and galloped forward on horseback.
Edward's eyes were fixed on Pat, and at the same time he also ordered the artillery to prepare.
When Pate and his soldiers disappeared into the crowd, he immediately gave the order to open fire.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bursts of explosions rang out from Ansa's main formation.
Huge projectiles flew into the sky and then landed in front eight hundred steps away.
And that's where the fiercest fighting between the two sides took place.
Many Western Turk soldiers did not react, and were directly overturned by the flying shells.
Of course, there are also many Unsa soldiers who are slow to respond.
For a moment, both sides were stunned by the explosion.
At the same time, Pate finally ran in front of the 30,000-strong leader.
He passed Edward's orders directly to the other party.
The few people glanced at the direction that was being bombarded by artillery fire and sighed.
Immediately afterwards, several people also immediately conveyed the order to retreat under gunfire to their subordinates.
For a time, Ansa's military formation began to slowly move to the south.
The Western Turkic soldiers who were resisting them were gradually unable to withstand the opponent's artillery fire and the fierce impact of the Ansa soldiers.
Seeing such a scene, how could Li Chengqian sit back and ignore it?
He also immediately asked someone to blow the trumpet.
When they heard the howling tune, Kamachin and Hu Yanzheng in the crowd immediately looked towards Li Chengqian.
When the two of them looked up, they saw two big flags waving behind Li Chengqian.
Looking at the flag, the two of them instantly understood what Li Chengqian meant.
The two men did not hesitate for a moment, and ordered their subordinates to evacuate their current positions immediately.
And just after the two of them withdrew, the front troops of the Angsa Army were completely out of the way and began to flee in the direction of their own formation.
But at this moment, Datang's artillery, which had been quiet for who knows how long, launched again.
Their target this time was not the opponent's artillery position, but the fleeing crowd.
There is no need to elaborate on the power of Tang Dynasty artillery.
With such a dense position of the opponent, just one round of bombardment created a huge vacuum zone in the opponent's military formation.
Seeing such a scene, the Ansa soldiers were even more frightened.
The crowd went crazy and ran in the direction of the formation regardless of the situation.
But is this formation safe?
Li Chengqian had already foreseen such a scene.
So before coming, he told Kamaqin and Hu Yanzheng.
As long as the enemy uses such life-threatening tactics, they will immediately spread out to harass the enemy.
At this moment, these guys also listened to Li Chengqian's words and acted exactly like this.
As I said before, you are faster among the seven or eight Western Turks.
It only takes a dozen seconds, or even a few seconds, to fight your way out of the enemy's formation.
At this moment, the Western Turkic sergeants took advantage of this and continued to harass the Ansa front army.
The front army was only eight hundred paces away from the rear army.
But at this moment, the distance of 800 steps is as insurmountable as a natural chasm.
Seeing such a scene, Edward, who had already ordered to stop the bombardment, had to use artillery again to suppress the pursuit of the Western Turks.
But the formation of the Western Turks became very scattered at this moment, and they were all fighting with Ansa's front army.
A round of artillery fire from Angsa could knock over one or two Western Turkic cavalry.
But there will definitely be more Angsa soldiers lying beside the Western Turkic cavalry.
Compared to him, Li Chengqian's approach was much smarter.
He still adopted the previous strategy, using artillery fire to cut off the enemy's escape route, and then led the infantry to fight with muskets.
As for the Western Turkic troops, they were all arranged by him to pursue the enemy.
In this way, accidental damage to friendly forces can be greatly avoided.
Under the bombardment of Datang's artillery and Ansa's artillery fire one after another, Ansa's front army also suffered heavy losses.
Among them, many people died under their own artillery fire.
Perhaps these people would never dream of it.
One day he would receive the same treatment as his enemy.
They will also die under the same cannon as the enemy.
But even though this was the case, it didn't stop them from wanting to escape.
At this moment, they had advanced from the original distance of 800 steps to less than 400 steps.
But these last hundred steps to death became their death line.
After reaching this distance, Edward had to order the bombardment to stop.
But this also gave the Western Turks cavalry an opportunity.
You know, since the retreat of these former soldiers, the Western Turkic cavalry has been following them, mixed in with their crowd.
At this time, the shells stalled and it was their time to show off their skills.
Kamachin took the lead and charged into the crowd with his mace, and the cavalrymen also attacked the enemies around them like crazy.
At this moment, the Western Turks were like hunters driving cattle on the grassland.
As long as you seize the opportunity, rush into the crowd with a format weapon and wave it around.
When the impact of the war horse slows down, he immediately rushes out of the crowd, takes a breath and fights again.
Under such an offensive, the Angsa army was almost stunned.
They don't know what they should do at the moment.
Should I pick up a gun and shoot?
You should still stop and engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.
Of course, more people choose to continue running away.
Because they know that as long as they get behind their own formation, the enemy will have nothing to do with them.
But the Western Turks were not fools. When they saw that the opponent was approaching the opponent's main formation, they retreated and rushed towards the enemies blocked by artillery fire.
At this time, Pat also successfully returned to Edward with three former army generals.
The three of them looked at each other, and then looked back involuntarily.
When they saw the scene behind them, the three of them almost cried.
Thirty thousand people left the camp in a mighty manner, but now less than one-third have returned.
More people are still struggling under the artillery fire and strangulation of Datang and Western Turks.
Seeing such a scene, the three of them bowed their heads and remained silent.
Seeing this, Edward also sighed lightly.
Then, he comforted the three people and said: "We will fight back, and we will definitely be able to avenge our brothers."
Hearing this, the three of them looked up at Edward.
At this moment, not only did they not get any comfort from Edward's words, but they also felt very mocked.
