I also thought of this.

Zhao Youlin did not hesitate for a moment and gave orders to his subordinates to build defense lines and prepare for war at any time.

And this time he also made up his mind to keep all the Ansa people who invaded the Western Turks here.

There is no other reason.

I just want these people to know how painful it is.

Let them not dare to make plans against themselves in the future.

Zhao Youlin and Li Chengqian have been hostile to each other for many years.

And it is undeniable that this has also cultivated a tacit understanding between the two to a certain extent.

In fact, the other party can understand what the other party means without the other party speaking too clearly.

Like right now.

Even though they were hundreds of miles apart, the two still made the same arrangement.

Li Chengqian only pursued Angsa but did not fight.

Zhao Youlin, on the other hand, was ready to annihilate Ansa here.

Pity these Ansa people, they haven't realized this until now.

Seeing that the other party did not pursue him in depth, he just assumed that the other party was afraid of his own strength.

And under such circumstances, within a few days, the Angsa Army came to the Ministry of Secret Protection.

But when they looked up, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Looking around, I saw countless earth walls erected on the plain in front of me.

The earthen walls are one next to another, and each earthen wall is staggered from each other, with a large gap in between.

Although the arrangement is not neat, if you look carefully you can find the rules.

Apart from other things, just looking at it from the front, the earth wall is a whole side, and even the gaps are not visible.

And in this way, the role of this thing is self-evident.

It was nothing more than what Li Chengqian used to make up for the disadvantages of the Western Turks, and at the same time limit the power of the Angsa gun to the greatest extent.

And look at these earthen walls.

Those Western Turkic generals were also a little unsure.

Many of them doubted the role of this earth wall and said directly to Zhao Youlin: "Your Majesty, then the Prince of the Tang Dynasty is not trying to trick us, is he?"

"Can these few earthen walls stop other people's muskets and artillery?"

Hearing this, Zhao Youlin also laughed.

Not to mention others, even when he first heard Li Chengqian say that these earthen walls could limit the power of muskets, he thought he was talking nonsense.

But after it was actually completed, Zhao Youlin finally understood Li Chengqian's brilliance.

"Others don't dare to say anything."

"But the Angsa army's muskets and artillery can definitely block it."

Zhao Youlin pointed forward and said: "If you don't believe it, just follow the path we planned in advance and rush through it and you will know."

"Charge and kill again..."

The general was a little unsure.

His face was full of confusion: "If we can't resist, then our soldiers will..."

He didn't say anything else.

But even if he didn't say it, his meaning was already self-evident.

Obviously, he still doesn't trust this thing.

Zhao Youlin did not force him, but said to the other person beside him: "He Lu, go ahead!"

Nahelu didn't hesitate at all and immediately handed over.

Then, more than 10,000 cavalrymen followed him out of the formation and rushed straight into the huge camp composed of mud walls that looked like a formation.

At the same time, the Angsa Army also discovered changes.

However, due to the obstruction of the earth wall, they could only rely on the smoke and dust in the sky to judge the enemy's movements.

But there is absolutely no way to determine the enemy's location or the number of enemies.

And that’s exactly what these mud walls are for.

The advantage of the Western Turks is the cavalry, and the advantage of the Angsa Army is the muskets.

When the two collide with each other, it is obvious that the musketeer side has the advantage.

After all, the muskets had a long range, and they could kill the invading cavalry hundreds of steps away in advance.

This is where the disadvantage of cavalry lies.

Their speed is very fast and their fighting power is very strong.

But after all, there is a vacuum of hundreds of steps in between.

If this gap cannot be bridged, the Western Turkic cavalry without firearms will be nothing more than a group of living targets in front of the Angsa army.

But at this moment, because of these earthen walls.

The cavalry can fill the gap of hundreds of steps without any hindrance.

When the first cavalryman rushed out under the cover of the earth wall, he was already less than a hundred steps away from the first row of the Angsa Army.

For the cavalry, the distance of a hundred paces can be reached in the blink of an eye.

When those Ansa soldiers just reacted and raised their muskets to shoot, the enemy was already in front of them.

Under such circumstances, those Ansa soldiers could not take aim, so they had to raise their muskets and shoot in panic.

Indeed, even under such panic shooting, many Western Turk soldiers fell off their horses and died.

However, more Western Turkic cavalry followed closely and crashed into Ansa's army formation in the blink of an eye.

For a time, there were people shouting and horses neighing, screams, fighting sounds, shouts, the collision of iron tools, and the friction of swords entering flesh.

The Western Turkic cavalry has always shown an indomitable momentum.

After only one charge, the front troops of the Angsa Army were killed and their heads were shot.

And after hearing the report from Tan Ma, how could Zhao Youlin hesitate?

He immediately said: "The former army listens to the order and follows me to charge!"

Immediately afterwards, he rushed towards the earthen camp first.

The entire Western Turk army consisted of a hundred thousand cavalry.

At this moment, these cavalrymen were running on the plain, the smoke and dust raised were like a sandstorm, and the earth trembled like an earthquake.

Look at these guys who are like wolves and tigers, rushing towards you.

The front line of the Angsa army, which had already suffered a severe beating from Li Chengqian and Kamachin, collapsed immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the entire front began to be compressed.

When Edward, who was in the military formation, saw this scene, he immediately started his deployment.

Seeing that the opponent was approaching fiercely and that his own front was about to collapse, instead of ordering a retreat, he ordered the artillerymen to set up artillery.

To be honest, listen to this command in the beginning.

Those generals were going crazy.

What does this guy mean?

They were all killed in front of him, so he didn't give the order to retreat, but he actually used artillery to hit the opponent's cavalry.

Could artillery be faster than cavalry?

Some people also directly believed that this guy wanted to compensate all the people on his side.

And with this idea in mind, some people wanted to stand up and stop him on the spot.

But speaking at this time is already over.

Edward quickly gave the order to fire.

Following a loud rumbling sound, one by one the burning flames were seen shooting up into the sky.

The direction in which the shells fell was not elsewhere, but the central army of the Western Turks.

You know, at this moment, the Western Turks have received orders from Zhao Youlin and are fighting fiercely.

Where would you notice that the other party used artillery?

At this moment, many Western Turkic soldiers were crowded together.

When the cannonballs fell, the pot was boiling.

The shock wave generated by the exploding shells blew away pieces of Western Turkic soldiers one after another.

When the second round of artillery fire struck, the Western Turks' Chinese army became a vacuum.

Seeing this scene, Edward also raised the corner of his mouth, looked at the person who wanted to speak and said: "General Nick, what do you want to say?"

what you want to say?

What can you say?

Nick made it clear that he wanted to persuade Edward to stop.

But seeing such a scene, how could he stop Edward?

At that moment, he just laughed dryly, and then said: "I also have artillery, how about sending them here too?"
