Section 112 The Collapse of the Khazar Khanate (2)
"Phew!" Dadao said angrily: "I was born and died for you, and I was blind in one eye, and you didn't inform me when you ran away, are you worthy of me!" ”
In the past, he was a powerful general under the royal court, and the royal court used him very much, but after he lost his wind, the royal court regarded him as transparent, ignored him, and simply surrendered to Tang under the anger of Dadao.
The Tang military doctor immediately treated his injured eye, and his injury improved greatly, and he led the army to hunt down Wang Tingjun!
"Hmph, you one-eyed dragon, your best place to go is to find a ravine to bury yourself, it's useless for you to fight by yourself, you hurt your eyes, not only don't you seek revenge from the Tang people, but also lead the way for the Tang people, so we didn't call you to escape, that's right!" Ashina pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
He was born noble, how could he reason with a one-eyed dragon, belong to the brigade, and his own subordinates came out to block Dadao.
Dadao had few soldiers and could not stop the army, and the result of the two sides shooting was that Wang Tingjun rolled over, so angry that he gritted his teeth and said suddenly: "I'll see where you run!" ”
He went to Tang Tian's main account to report, reported the military situation, and asked about the situation of the Tang army, now the 120,000 cavalry of the Tang army is led by Tang Tian, and there are 80,000 tribal troops, a total of 200,000 troops to chase and kill, but they can't reach the front of Wang Tingjun's army, just a side attack.
The map is relatively simple, and the intelligence circle of the Tang people does not cover this remote country, and now the staff is only mapping based on everyone's memory.
Looking at the map, Dadao's finger slapped on the top spot, grabbed the map and went to the chief of staff.
……
Ruoergai steppe.
Ruoergai is the local language, there is the meaning of "trap", here the grass is verdant, it looks like the scenery is beautiful, but it hides the killing machine... This is a wetland, a swamp, similar to the kind of terrain where the Red Army crossed the meadows, the vast meadows, as far as the eye can see, and the quagmire of water and grass swamps is everywhere.
But it passed through the meadow where the Red Army crossed the meadow, and it had a road, a wide avenue, which was made of rocks, and was very strong, and it was easy for men and horses to pass.
This is an important road from the inland to the west, and the other road is to walk along the coast, walk by the sea, there are many cities, it is easier to get supplies, and take the Ruoergai steppe, the road is close, but there are no people in the middle.
Although it was an important passage, there were few people on the road, but the silence of the road was broken by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.
The Tang army with the Flying Tiger banner rushed forward, among them were 3,000 musketeers, 1,000 archers/grenadiers, and 1,000 naturalized tribal troops, led by Da Luo Dao, a nephew of Nai Da Dao, and these 5,000 men were responsible for intercepting the Wang Ting's army that might escape.
The leader of the musketeers is none other than Yuan Feng!
He has a good gun and can command, the key is that he has someone in the court!
He was born in the Turgish tribe, this clan has a huge power in the army, and the Yuan Feng family also has considerable strength, when Yuan Feng performs well, there is a possibility of ascending to the top.
With the strength of the good wind, send me to the blue sky!
However, he was only a substitute, not formally appointed, and only after this battle could he sit in the position of colonel commander.
His men were as young as he was, and in fact the musketeers were a young class of soldiers, not favored by the able-bodied.
Because there are no individual heroes among the musketeers!
The musketeers had to rely on collective strength to effectively attack the enemy, and the muskets at that time were all smoothbore guns, which were not very accurate, and only formed dense firepower, and even archers dared to ridicule the musketeers today.
The quality of the musketeers was so poor in the conscription that even the soldiers in the army looked down on them.
Yuan Feng came from a good background, and the care of a group of uncles and uncles made him stand out from a group of mud-legged musketeers and become a high-ranking officer.
As soon as he arrived, seeing the bare flat land around him, Yuan Feng couldn't help frowning.
The staff officer looked for him, who was also very young, had just been assigned from the military academy, and said anxiously: "We can't build fortifications!" ”
A large soldier shoveled down with a sapper and smashed out a spark!
The ground is hard enough.
"Immediately erect barbed wire, three barbed wire in a row!" Yuan Feng ordered.
Three lines of defense were laid out, each with 1,000 men, and these 1,000 men were discharged in three columns, one with 250 men, ready for three strikes, and another 250 men as reserves.
The rockets he brought were aimed at the path, and there were quagmires on both sides, and he waited for the Khazar khanate to come.
They really came, they arrived in the morning, and in the afternoon, the cavalry came, and at a glance, it seemed that the mountains were full of people and horses!
The armor of the elite cavalry was distinct, shining in the sun, and it looked as if steel was rushing, and the battle was terrifying!
This is Wang Tingjun, an elite army!
Seeing the menacing enemy army, Yuan Feng sneered on the surface: "But that's it! He looked calm and comfortable, and no one knew that his palms were covered with sweat.
Everyone is right to look down on musketeers, musketeers' muskets are smoothbore guns powered by black powder, the bullets do not rotate, and they are round instead of pointed, and they cannot penetrate iron armor!
On the contrary, the power of the bow and arrow is more than enough to penetrate the armor.
The good thing is that the musketeers are mass-produced... A farmer is quick to get started, while a cavalryman is not so easy to pass.
The enemy's cavalry charged along the road, and it was fortunate that they were not able to engage in a wide frontal battle, otherwise more than 3,000 musketeers would have been routed by more than 30,000 cavalry in a minute.
The first wave of cavalry did not manage to rush in front of the musketeers, because the rockets of the Don army exploded among them!
The sound of explosions, shock waves, steel balls, iron nails and poisonous smoke are intertwined, the horses are in chaos, the cavalry can't control the horses, there is only a narrow road here, and the horses trample on each other, rush down into the quagmire, and soon take the master without a roof!
The next time Wang Tingjun charged, they learned to be smart, and they charged a little bit. The frontal advance did not exceed thirty horsemen, getting closer and closer.
100 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters!
"Fire!"
The muskets rang out and burst into a ball like beans!
Two hundred and fifty muskets were fired, and thirty cavalry fell to the ground, almost all of them hit their horses. The cavalry behind rushed over, Yuan Fengli ignored it, and ordered: "Change teams!" ”
When the second column of soldiers stepped forward, the cavalry rushed in front of them, but they hesitated slightly: in front of them was a circle of barbed wire, with barbed hooks and repellent rifles!
Don't go to the cavalry, you can only rush hard! The horse let out a miserable neigh, and the galloping horse tripped over the barbed wire, and did not stop when it fell, and fell heavily to the ground and slid forward for a while, hitting a row of rejecting rifles, and the cavalry was even more miserable, and pounced on the repulsors! The spiky spear heads pierced the man's body, and the guy was forked on it like a string of meat, and blood splattered everywhere.
The cavalry behind couldn't rush if they wanted to, because the second column of musketeers of the Don Army opened fire!
Specialized in beating horses, and when the third column of musketeers came up, they hit people in the head.
Most of the tribal armies are equipped with half-body armor, but there is no protection on the face, and some people are beaten into a pockmarked face by iron sand, blood drips, and the shape is terrifying... He didn't die worse, the lead in the iron sand would make him torture!
The tribal army kept charging, relying on the body of the horse to step on the barbed wire and resist the horse pistol, but it was not easy for them to attack, when there were many people, the Tang army fired rockets, and when there were few people, they used platoon guns to shoot the tribal army,
Wang Tingjun followed one after another, filling it with human lives, trying to kill a bloody road!
