Bahan looked at all this in the camp and everyone was dumbfounded.
What was that just now? Is it a thunder?
If Tang Jun can even attract thunder from the sky, then what can he do to fight the opponent?
How did he know that those were all the explosives Li Jing brought this time.
The research institute established by Li Tai outside Shanghe Village was making slow progress in researching artillery, mainly because it was not easy to forge qualified gun barrels with the forging technology of this era.
But with Tang Ping providing the formula, it was not difficult to make gunpowder.
This time Li Jing sent out troops and brought out all the gunpowder produced by the research institute.
Today, he discovered that the Turkic army was preparing to attack, so Li Jing made preparations.
The soldiers of the Tang Army wearing Turkic clothes seemed to be digging pits to prepare barbecues when they arrived, but in fact they had buried explosives.
Today they were almost in a straight line, much more spread out than yesterday, but how could the furious Bahan discover such details.
Even if he discovered it, he didn't know that there was such a thing as gunpowder, and he didn't know that these people were digging holes for the Turkic army.
When the Turkic army came out of the camp, the Tang soldiers lit the fuse and began to run back.
This fuse was researched by Li Tai. He discovered that different materials and manufacturing processes can make fuses with different burning times.
This time Li Jing used the one that lasted the longest.
When the Turkic cavalry ran past that position, the fuse ignited the explosives buried under the soil, and it became what it is now.
In fact, these primitive explosives were not very powerful, and very few Turkic cavalry were directly injured.
But this is the first time that explosives have appeared on the battlefield in this world. No one has ever seen anything like this.
The thunderous explosion and dazzling fire are the cavalry's nemesis.
A war horse without special training would have long since broken away from the control of its knight under such a loud noise, and began to flee according to animal instincts.
The Tang Army's Xuanjia Cavalry came out at this time, and those Turkic cavalry were unable to resist.
After all, their mounts were like crazy, and the only thing they could do was to sit firmly on the horse, because at this time, once they were knocked off the horse, they would basically be trampled to death by random hooves.

The first round of the Xuanjia Cavalry's charge into the formation was similar to the grass-roots practice.
In two breaths at most, the entire Turkic cavalry formation was penetrated.
Then turn around, one, two, three, four, do it again.
At the end of the two waves of charge, the entire Turkic cavalry was killed in pieces.
The Xuanjia cavalry circled back to the Tang army's camp from both ends, and then a shower of arrows rained down on the Turkic cavalry formation.
Li Jing had long practiced the skillful three-stage volley. After one person threw the arrow, he quickly retreated, and then the second and third people continued to throw.
In this way, the rain of arrows continued to fall in the Turkic formation as if it had never stopped.
In normal times, with at most two volleys, the Turkic cavalry could rush in front of them under the rain of arrows and start massacring the Tang archers.
But now, the Turkic cavalry was in a mess, and its weak defense was clearly exposed. It was unable to organize an effective charge against the Tang Army's archery troops, and the consequence was that they could only die in vain.
This is Bukhan's old background. Although Qikou Camp claims to have more than 100,000 troops, some of them are Turkic slave infantry and some are auxiliary troops, and their combat effectiveness is extremely low.
These 60,000 cavalrymen were basically the most elite force of Tuhan. Now looking at this one-sided massacre, Tuhan's heart was bleeding.
"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!" He shouted hoarsely with the last of his strength.
At this time, the war horses in front that were frightened by the explosion were basically dead and injured, and the rest had basically recovered.
But all the Turkic cavalry looked frightened. They didn't know where the explosion like that just came from. In addition, there were heavy casualties. After hearing Ming Jin's signal to withdraw troops, they all ran back towards the Turkic Qikou camp without their lives. .
I was afraid that if I ran too slowly, I would encounter the next round of thunder from the Tang army.
The Black Armor Cavalry is a heavy cavalry, its function is to charge into the formation, and it is not good at repeatedly rushing to kill on the battlefield.
Most of the other Tang troops were infantry. Now that the Turks wanted to run away, they couldn't catch up.
What's more, today's results are already amazing, and Li Jing will not be greedy for success.
A final inventory of the battlefield showed that in today's battle, more than 8,000 Turkic cavalry were killed on the spot, and thousands of wounded soldiers were left on the battlefield.
The total number of casualties was at least one.
"What to do with these wounded soldiers?" a general asked.

road.
Li Jing looked at Tang Ping and asked, "What does Tang University think?"
Tang Ping thought for a while and said, "Bring them all back and let the Turks take care of them."
Although he knew that thousands of wounded soldiers were a huge burden, it was impossible for Tang Ping to say that he had killed them all.
These Turkic soldiers were different from those who invaded the Tang Dynasty last time. Strictly speaking, they were only guarding their own land.
Moreover, Tang Ping felt that the Turks who had surrendered with Kang Sumi could not be given weapons to fight against the enemy, so they might as well let them take care of their own compatriots.
Although Kang Sumi did not speak, a hint of joy flashed across his face.
The Turkic soldiers who died on the battlefield could not be blamed on the Tang army. After all, it was either you who died or I lived on the battlefield.
Now that he has joined the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to ask the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to show mercy during battle.
But after the battle, he certainly hoped that these injured prisoners could survive. After all, they all had the same blood as him.
Li Jing nodded. In fact, it is okay to kill or keep these wounded soldiers.
Without Kang Sumi's surrender, it would still be troublesome to take care of them, but now there is no such worry: "Then I'll trouble General Kang Sumi. Just try your best to cure these people if they can be cured. After they are cured, be willing to join the army." You can keep all of Tang’s, and if you don’t want to, just send them to mine.”
After he finished speaking, he asked again: "Have the casualties of our army been calculated?"
A lieutenant general replied: "General Li, we lost more than ten people in the Xuanjia Cavalry this time, and then dozens of people in the Gun Shield Battalion."
Such casualties can actually be ignored.
Compared with the Tang Army Camp, the morale of the Qikou Camp opposite was extremely low.
In particular, there were several generals who had lost too many cavalry, and their faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.
You must know that the Turkic army was composed of various tribes, and the soldiers they lost were all warriors of their own tribes.
Just when everyone in the entire military tent was silent, a guard came to report:
"Khan, there are a few people coming from the other side of the river. They claim to be the messengers of the Silk Thorn Company and want to see you."
