…
"Fuck you!"
In Talas City, the two armies were originally at peace with each other, but this morning due to some trivial matters, two soldiers from both sides suddenly clashed and struggled with each other.
At this time, it was obvious that the Han soldiers were at a disadvantage, because behind the big food soldier sat a large group of big food soldiers.
However, the strange thing is that although these big food soldiers shouted "good fight!" and "you are a man" and other cheers, no one stepped forward to start a fight or help.
After a long time, Geng Gong and Ahriman arrived, and the two people, who were bruised and bruised, got to know each other, and then they realized that they had made a dirty joke in their free time, and they started fighting after a disagreement.
It is absolutely impossible for Da Shibing's companions to help in such a dispute. As long as there are no signs of human life, verbal support will be enough.
After finishing the trivial matters, Geng Gong said to Ahriman: "How are you thinking? If we continue like this, we will all die of thirst here. Before the enemy launches an offensive, it is the perfect time to counterattack!"
Ahriman: "How to fight back? The number of enemies is several times ours, and they are all cavalry. Once they leave Talas, they will be lambs to be slaughtered!"
Geng Gong pointed to the Fengxing Cannon placed behind him: "This thing is specially designed to fight cavalry. I have already told you."
Ahriman: "Your Majesty General, I know that these firearms of yours are indeed beyond our budget, but these alone are not enough to annihilate 20,000 cavalry!"
Geng Gong: "As long as we find a breakthrough, we have a good chance of winning. Besides, our goal is to achieve victory, not to completely annihilate this enemy force."
"What if we can't break out?"
"It's better than being trapped here and dying of thirst!"
Ahriman was speechless and looked up at the sky.
In various parts of Central Continent in November, although it was not as hot as summer, the dry air still filled every soldier's body.
After pondering for a moment, Ahriman said: "I will go to the Caliph to discuss it again. Are you really sure you can lead us to break out?"
"I dare not say 100%, but it is at least 70% possible."
"Okay, I'll go right away..."
Before Ahriman finished speaking, there was suddenly a rapid and heavy sound of horse hooves, galloping towards Talas.
Geng Gong and Ahriman looked immediately and saw at least a thousand Parthian horse archers on the gorge road approaching.
Geng Gong and Ahriman immediately ordered people to prepare for battle, and then Geng Gong took out a looking glass and began to observe.
This was the first time he saw the true appearance of the Parthian cavalry.
The war horse is covered with a thick layer of leather armor. The cavalry on the horse is lined with chain mail and covered with a layer of iron leaf armor. On one side of the saddle is an armor-piercing spear of about 2.5 meters, and on the other side is a heavy A sharp arc knife, a riding bow in hand, and a heavy arrow on the string.
If you encounter such cavalry in the wild in the cold weapon era, you can say that there is no need to fight. This momentum alone is enough to make most troops lose the courage to fight.
"啕~"
"Pfft~"
A Parthian cavalry archer shot an arrow at the city head. Before an unlucky soldier could respond, his cheek was pierced by a heavy arrow and he fell down without saying a word.
More arrows shot out from the cavalry group, and from time to time they were nailed to the remains of the earthen wall, raising clouds of yellow sand and dust that made it difficult to open one's eyes.
These cavalry seemed to be well-prepared, aiming specifically at the station of the food soldiers, but did not seem to make any move against the Han army's defense line.
Seeing his subordinates fall one by one under the enemy's strong bows, Ahriman was anxious and ordered his archers to fight back.
As a result, as soon as the archer set up his bow and probed his head, a dense rain of arrows came and fell instantly into a black shadow.
Listening to the miserable cries of pain from the soldiers on the defensive line, Geng Gong went to Hu Qing and asked: "It seems that these barbarians know that we are not in harmony, and this is not the way to go. We have to find a way to dampen their arrogance. "
Hu Qing: "You speak and I do the work."
"The Wind Cannon and the Fire Gun are holding hands to cool them down?"
"Give me a quarter of an hour!"
Hu Qing decisively came to the fire gunmen and shouted loudly: "Come on a hundred fire gunmen, push three wind cannons, and come with me!"
Soon, Hu Qing led his team to the defense line of Da Shi soldiers on the left.
At this time, the army camp was in chaos. People were wailing under the city wall. Many people were holding the corpses of their companions and crying. It seemed that they had lost the courage to continue to resist.
"Stop crying! Cry! When you cry later! Come over and help lift this thing up!"
Hu Qing ignored the situation and kicked over a large food soldier with dull eyes. He then grabbed a soldier holding the body of his companion and forced them to carry the Fengxing Cannon up the wall.
Under the "obscene power" of the Huqing team, the demoralized soldiers finally showed signs of recovery.
"啕~"
"Ding~"
As soon as Hu Qing stood at the crenel, an arrow was shot directly in front of his face. Fortunately, Hu Qing had quick eyes and quick hands. He waved his hand to block it, covering his arm armor and other arms to directly block this fatal murderous intention.
"Damn it, are you playing with fire? I'll treat you to a bullet!"
Hu Qing raised his gun, aimed at a Parthian cavalry and pulled the trigger.
"Bang~"
For a moment, white smoke emitted from the muzzle of the cap gun. The cavalryman on the opposite side seemed to have been hit in the chest by something. The next moment, he staggered on his horse and fell to the ground.
This scene shocked the soldiers nearby. What kind of firearm was this that could actually penetrate the heavy armor of the cavalry?
"put!"
Bang bang bang bang bang bang——
The gunmen of the Han army who had taken over Dashi's defense line all pulled the triggers at the command.
In an instant, the Parthian cavalry who was still jumping immediately fell on their backs and fell in a pool of blood, losing their previous arrogance.
At this time, the Fengxing Cannon was already in place.
Just when the Han soldiers were about to light the fuse, a food soldier suddenly stopped them and expressed with body language that they wanted to try the power of this thing.
Of course Hu Qing complied with his request and handed him the fire discount directly.
The big food soldier adjusted his angle to avoid the two arrows, and finally lit the fuse.
As the rhythmic sound of the gun sounded like an organ, the flying projectiles splashed on the Parthian cavalry like a dense rain forest.
In an instant, blood mist filled the air, and at least three Parthian cavalrymen and horses were shot into sieves.
"happy!"
The big food soldier was chattering something, with a very excited look on his face.
The rest of the Dashi soldiers were also reviving their morale at this time. With such a magical weapon to help them, why should they be afraid of these cavalry?
This was the first time they cooperated with the Han army, and together they launched a fierce counterattack against the Parthians.
…
Four hundred miles away from Talas City, a brutal bloody battle had just occurred. The ground was littered with corpses, and the blood of more than 30,000 people stained the dry land red.
A large flag with the word "white" fluttering in the wind seems to tell who the winner of this war is.
Bai Qi's army directly entered the Central Continent after wiping out the noble widow, and unexpectedly encountered the Parthian army in Suritai.
The battle lasted for three full days. As a result, the Han army completely annihilated this army at the cost of 86 killed and 840 wounded.
Suritai was even blown into three pieces by a grenade. It can be said that there was no whole body left.
This battle also announced the collapse of the Parthian Kingdom.
"Next, Wudan Kingdom!"
Looking at the battlefield littered with corpses, Bai Qi looked calm and seemed to be in no rush to rescue Geng Gong.
He wanted to conquer all the Central Asian countries that were associated with the Great Eclipse and clear obstacles for the future development of the Han Dynasty in this area.
Even if this behavior is destined to be infamy for eternity, he will not hesitate.
