Chapter 1014: Fight to the death
In a dimly lit environment.
The flying crow of the divine fire flying at high speed in the air is like a huge firebird flying from the south.
The fiery serpent sizzles like a young bird.
When he went south and encountered Zhang Shaoming, Lin Kaiyue, and when he was defending the city in the east, he encountered a surprise attack by the Divine Fire Crow and had seen the power of this firearm.
After the explosion in the sky, the soldiers within a few feet were either killed or wounded.
What's more, under the divine fire flying crow, there is a faint smoke of earth-shattering thunder, like stones falling from the sky, shuttling in.
And the overwhelming rain of arrows, like a summer thunderstorm coming, a downpour falling from the sky.
King Zuogu Li's expression couldn't help but be in a panic, as the army of the vanguard of the divine fire flying crow, shaking the sky and thunder, the crossbow shot more and more arrows rained, his face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat was rolling all over his body.
These firearms, a dense rain of arrows, if they suddenly explode in the sky above the Turkic elite horses, not only the power generated by the explosion of the firearms will cause them damage, but also the iron pieces and iron filings installed in the firearms will be more lethal.
The loud explosion will also make the galloping horses frightened and flee in all directions.
In the end, they couldn't help but pose a very serious threat to them, and even be able to block their charge, so that the plan to inflict a thunderous blow on the Tang army failed.
Once the orderly formation of the forward elite cavalry is disrupted, the crossbowmen in the Tang army seize the opportunity to shoot with crossbows to form a continuous arrow formation, at that time, the Turkic elite cavalry may have no power to fight back.
Their mighty charge will turn into a self-throwing net.
King Zuo Gu Li was anxious and shouted: "Disperse, the whole army will disperse quickly!"
If they were in a hilly or valley area, and the Tang army fell into an ambush circle, no matter how many firearms they carried, the Turkic elite cavalry would not encounter such danger.
How can there be no end in the grassland, and the front of the army is flat, and there is no cover on all sides.
The Tang army relied on the shield array to carry it to the death, and it had already caused a lot of casualties.
Now, Lin Kaiyue commanded his troops to launch a counterattack, the Turkic elite cavalry had no shield protection, and the Tang army's earth-shattering thunder and divine fire crow explosion were even more powerful, and the danger they encountered was fatal.
When there is no better way, there is only a quick dispersion.
Otherwise, when the Divine Fire Flying Crow and the Heaven-Shaking Thunder are held, the denser the Turkic elite cavalry, the greater the casualties.
The charging Turkic elite horsemen, looking at the earth-shattering thunder and the divine fire flying crows that were flying in, were already panicking, even if there was no order from the king of Zuo Guli. They also did not dare to assemble together.
However, similar to their serial rain of arrows, the Divine Fire Crow. Earth-shattering thunder, short arrows, equally menacing, don't give them the slightest counterattack.
"Bang!"
The first Divine Fire Raven exploded in the air, this kind of firearm with iron filings inside, iron pieces suddenly exploded, iron filings, iron blocks, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, swished out of the air, hitting the charging Turkic cavalry.
In an instant, just an instant, the Turkic elite cavalry within three zhang died tragically and fell from their horses, and within five zhang, most of the cavalry were injured, and their whole faces seemed to be cut by sharp knives, scarred and bleeding.
More than a dozen people fell off their horses and wailed on the ground.
Boom!
Bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
In the air, huge explosions on the ground came and went, and the divine fire flew crows, shaking the sky and thunder, as if firecrackers were exploding, emitting brilliant light.
However, on the ground, the Turkic horsemen, who had scattered their horses, suffered.
The deafening explosion, like a slap in the face, caused widespread casualties in an instant, and tens of thousands of cavalry fell from their horses while dodging.
For a time, the front of the Turkic elite rider was full of stumps and broken arms, piles of broken corpses, and the bloody scene was terrifying.
The orderly formation of the cavalry when they charged in the previous was blown up in an instant, and the cavalry's charging speed was completely slowed down.
The screams of the Turkic army in front of the Turkic army were comparable to the roars of wolves in the distance, piercing and terrifying.
In a panic, the surviving cavalry fled in all directions, trying to save their lives.
At this time, the dense rain of arrows in the sky was like a dark cloud moving from the south, and it was pouring down.
In the blink of an eye, the range of Turkic cavalry casualties expanded, and the number of casualties increased.
Moreover, the continuous shooting of the crossbow was almost impermeable, and the Turkic army lost its hiding place.
The tens of thousands of elites in the vanguard had not yet approached the Tang army, and they had basically been buried in the rain of arrows, resulting in the tens of thousands of troops led by King Liking of Zuogu being defeated before the battle.
During the flight, a divine fire crow exploded behind him, like a piece of iron and iron filings, all pierced into his back.
At this moment, the pain in his back was unbearable, and blood continued to flow out.
At the worst time, when the rain of arrows fell, his left arm and thigh were brutally injured by sharp arrows one after another, and the whole person was scarred and in a dangerous situation.
However, the heart of King Zuogu Li is like a mirror, as the commander of the three armies, when the situation is dangerous, the soldiers of the three armies can retreat in fear, but he cannot retreat.
Once he takes the lead in fleeing on horseback, the armies will follow suit, and the three armies will be like a receding tide, and the powerful charging front will collapse in an instant.
Mo said that he charged and killed the Tang army, the elite of the vanguard led by him, in the Tang army's earth-shattering thunder, divine fire flying crows, and serial arrow rain attacks, there was no hope of retreating.
Glancing at the elite cavalry beside him who had suffered heavy casualties, and then looking at the Tang army close in front of him, King Zuogu Li commanded bitterly: "The whole army continues to charge, close to the Tang army and the two sides are close to the hand-to-hand combat."
Their armament is far inferior to that of the Tang Army, and they fight at a long distance, especially within the range of the Tang Army's Divine Fire Flying Crow and Crossbow, and they have no chance of winning at all.
The longer you stay, the more casualties the army will have.
If the whole army disregards life and death, breaks through the defense line of the Tang army, and breaks into the Tang army, regardless of the divine fire flying crow, the earth-shaking thunder, and even the crossbow is powerful, it will lose its effect.
If the Tang army wants to threaten them, unless they choose to harm themselves.
The voice fell, and the king of Zuo Gu Li grabbed the mace, and first rode his horse in the direction of the Tang army.
The pro-army around him, still faithful in the face of danger, followed the king of Zuogu Li, and soon, a small group of cavalry was formed in the battlefield, and the Turkic elite cavalry in panic on all sides was the first to set an example.
Those Turkic elite horsemen who were threatened by the rain of arrows, encountered the divine fire flying crows, and the earth-shattering thunder strikes, when they were panicked, they saw the king of Zuogu Li rushing towards the direction of the Tang army regardless of life and death.
One by one, they were greatly encouraged, and they also shuttled through the rain of arrows and the earth-shaking thunder, regardless of the danger to their lives, and approached the Tang army.
At this moment, among the Turkic elite cavalry, many people are like mirrors, fleeing from the battle is death, and attacking the Tang army is also death, rather than encountering military justice and dying in humiliation, it is better to rush to the Tang army on horseback and kill the Tang army as much as possible.
The horse leather shroud is far better than escaping!
Otherwise, what face do they have, what qualifications do they have to return to the tribe, and then call themselves Turks!
