Thousands of miles away on the Qinghai Prairie, two huge armies were engaged in a thrilling game.
"Reporting to Khan! The Tang Army has stopped thirty miles away! "A Tuyuhun messenger rushed to Fu Yun, who was wearing golden armor.
"Thirty miles away!" Fu Yun could not help but frown.
This distance was just right for the cavalry to sprint. If the Tuyuhun army attacked now, they would definitely be tired and tired after running for thirty miles. The Tang Army would then wait for them to be exhausted and attack them head-on.
"What is Li Jing planning?" Tuoba Chici, the leader of the Dang Xiang tribe, had a bad feeling in his heart and said irritably.
Li Jing's fame was too great. Anyone who went against him had to be careful. This time, the Tuoba tribe and the Tuyuhun tribe were in the same boat. If they lost, the Tuoba tribe would definitely have to bear the anger of the Tang Dynasty. Their fate could be imagined.
Fu Yun looked at Tuoba Chici with dissatisfaction. This time, other than the Tuoba tribe, only a few remote Qiang tribes supported the Tuyuhun. This was very different from what Fu Yun had expected.
However, now was the time to recruit people. It was not convenient for Fu Yun to be too harsh. He could only try to win over Tuoba Chici.
"In my opinion, it must be that old man Li Jing is afraid. Our Tuyuhun has more than 200,000 warriors. They are skilled in archery and horse riding. If they fail to kill, they can retreat. They are already in an invincible position." Tianzhu King patted his round belly and encouraged.
For a long time, he was the one who desperately advocated plundering the Tang Dynasty in front of Fu Yun. Every time he used the wealth he plundered to please Fu Yun. Naturally, Fu Yun was very satisfied and regarded Tianzhu King as his confidant.
However, in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, Tianzhu King was a thorn in their side. If the Tuyuhun were defeated, Fu Yun might live in Chang 'an City like Xieli Khan, but Tianzhu King would definitely die.
When Fu Yun saw the strong and sturdy soldiers behind him, his face couldn't help but reveal a proud expression. Thirty years ago, he had experienced the escape of a stray dog. The Sui Army that was covered in armor followed him like a shadow for thousands of miles. Until now, it had made him wake up from a nightmare. He didn't want to relive this experience again.
"Pass down the order to all troops, conserve the horses and press forward." Fu Yun was in high spirits as he suddenly shouted.
Suddenly, the entire Tuyuhun army slowly moved forward and pressed toward the Tang Dynasty army.
Thirty miles away, the Tang Dynasty army was gathering.
"Reporting to General! The Tuyuhun cavalry has begun to move toward our army, "a scout hurriedly reported.
"Fu Yun can't wait any longer!" Li Jing suddenly frowned.
"Then what should we do? Mo Jiu, why hasn't the solar eclipse started yet? Could it be that your calculation is wrong? " Li Daoyan raised the Sun Protection Mirror and looked at the disc-like sun. He could not help but frown and question.
The other generals also looked at Meton with doubtful eyes. In all the plans made by Li Jing, the most important part was that the solar eclipse would happen today. However, until now, the solar eclipse had still not happened.
Meton shook his head and said, "Of course it can't be wrong. I can make a military order."
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused. A military order was the strictest military order in the army. If it could not be fulfilled, it would be the crime of beheading.
Seeing Meton's guarantee, Li Jing naturally believed in his heart. He could not help but say regretfully, "It's too late. Fu Yun won't give us any more time."
The generals could not help but feel regretful. Although the Tang Dynasty army was not afraid of any opponent in a head-on battle, after the battle, the Tang Dynasty army would certainly be able to win, but the losses would definitely be extremely heavy.
"Men …"
Just as Li Jing was about to give the order to start the battle, Meton's surprised voice suddenly came, "General, please wait. I was fortunate enough to not disappoint you."
Everyone suddenly looked up and saw Meton holding the Sun Protection Mirror and looking up at the sun in the sky obsessively.
"Could it be …"
The generals were delighted and quickly picked up the Sun Protection Mirror in their hands.
Sure enough, the sun, which did not change at all with the naked eye, was actually missing a piece under the Sun Protection Mirror.
"Good!" Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
Li Jing looked at Meton with a strange look and said loudly, "Men, send an order to the three armies. After an hour, there will be food in the sun. The Tang Dynasty will win this battle."
Soon, as the messenger left, there was a burst of cheers in the army.
"The Tang Dynasty will win this battle."
"The Tang Dynasty will win this battle!"
…
In an instant, the momentum of the Tang Dynasty army reached its peak.
"Attack!"
Li Jing pulled out his long sword and suddenly shouted.
In an instant, the drums thundered, and the Tang Dynasty army advanced quickly. The Tu Dynasty army instantly noticed the movement of the Tang Dynasty army and accelerated at the same time.
Thirty miles!
Twenty miles!
Ten miles!
Five miles!
"Cavalry, attack!"
When the two armies were five miles apart, Fu Yun and Li Jing gave the order at the same time.
"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"
Under the bombardment of millions of horse hooves, the whole earth trembled.
The two torrents collided with a loud bang. Immediately, blood flowed and broken limbs flew. At this moment, all tactics and tricks were abandoned. The real battle was strength.
In terms of individual soldiers, the Tang Dynasty army, who had the advantage of armor, had the absolute advantage. The scimitars of the Tuyuhun soldiers did not pose much of a threat to the fully armored Tang Dynasty army.
Under the new steel scimitars of the Tang Dynasty army, the leather armor of the Tuyuhun soldiers was almost non-existent. As soon as the Tuyuhun cavalry came into contact, they immediately suffered heavy losses.
In terms of military strength, the Tuyuhun army had the upper hand.
"Toot!"
As soon as the horn sounded, the formation of the Tuyuhun army changed. Suddenly, a large number of Tuyuhun cavalry rushed to the infantry formation of the Tang Dynasty army.
On the high platform of the Tuyuhun army.
Fu Yun looked at the infantry formation of the Tang Dynasty with a cold face. The cavalry was the natural nemesis of the infantry. From the beginning, he did not target the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, he put the few elite armored cavalry to attack the infantry. As long as the Tuyuhun cavalry chased the infantry of the Tang Dynasty, then the victory of the Tuyuhun army would be in sight.
"Khan, you are wise. King Gao Chang is a famous warrior of the Tuyuhun. This move will definitely be able to break the middle of the Tang Dynasty army in one fell swoop." King Tianzhu praised. King Gao Chang, Murong Xiaojuan, was famous in the Tuyuhun Kingdom. Most of the Tuyuhun army's great momentum depended on King Gao Chang, Murong Xiaojuan.
Fu Yun looked at the Tuyuhun cavalry that was like a tide and could not help but show a trace of pride. He used his strength to attack the enemy's weakness. Naturally, he would not fight head-on with the fully armored cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.
"Steady, you must steady!" In the infantry formation, Cheng Yaojin suddenly shouted.
The heavily armored infantrymen looked at the charging Tuyuhun cavalry with fear in their hearts. Cold sweat flowed down their backs, but they did not retreat. Instead, they took a step forward and raised the weapons in their hands.
Under the protection of the Left Guard Regiment, the people of the Firearms Division quietly guarded the trebuchets. The gunpowder shells had already been loaded. They all looked at Meton and waited for orders.
"500 steps!"
Xue Rengui could not help but wipe his sweat and said nervously.
"As long as the Tuyuhun cavalry has advanced 400 steps! Immediately release the gunpowder shells, "Meton suddenly said.
"But it's almost impossible to aim like this." Xue Rengui was stunned and puzzled.
"What's the point of aiming? The farther the better!" Meton shouted.
Xue Rengui suddenly realized that there was no need to aim when the cavalry was charging so densely.
Soon, the Tuyuhun cavalry had advanced 400 steps. Xue Rengui suddenly shouted, "Firearms Division, release!"
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, ten gunpowder shells flew out from the middle of the army and flew toward the charging Tuyuhun cavalry.
"Trebuchets, dodge!"
Murong Xiaojuan suddenly shouted. He did not expect that the Tang Dynasty army would use the trebuchets in a field battle.
Fu Yun, who had been paying attention to the movements of the Tang Dynasty army, also saw this scene. He did not care. It was just a dozen stones. For the entire army, it was just scratching an itch through their boots.
However, the next scene suddenly made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Meton had released 25 pounds of gunpowder shells this time. Moreover, he had cut off the fuse in an extremely sinister manner. When the gunpowder shells flew over the Tuyuhun cavalry, the fuse burned out.
"Boom! Boom! Boom … Boom! "
As the flames soared into the sky, ten thunderous sounds were heard. The gunpowder shells exploded over the heads of the Tuyuhun cavalry. The loud sound directly covered the sound of fighting in the field. For a moment, the whole field could not help but be stunned.
"God's weapon!" Fu Yun's aged eyes suddenly widened. Could this be the God's weapon controlled by the Tang Dynasty army that Murong Ding had mentioned?
Standing on the high platform, he saw clearly that under the ten loud sounds, the huge shock wave directly sent many Tuyuhun cavalry flying. The entire Tuyuhun charging square formation suddenly had ten empty spaces within a radius of ten steps. At least 300 armored elite cavalry were directly killed.
What was more serious was that with the loud sounds, a large number of war horses were frightened and panicked. The entire charging formation was suddenly disrupted. Many Tuyuhun cavalry were jolted off the war horses. No one knew whether they were dead or alive.
More Tuyuhun soldiers were panicking. There had been a rumor in the army that the Tang Dynasty had controlled the God's weapon and the Tuyuhun would definitely be abandoned by the God this time. Now that they saw the power of the gunpowder shells with their own eyes, fear spread in their hearts like a plague.
"Continue to charge! Don't stop! "
Murong Xiaojuan was a fierce general in the army. His horsemanship was amazing. Naturally, he knew that they could not stop at this time. The trebuchets took too long to reload. As long as they rushed over, not to mention the God's weapon, even if it was the God's weapon, he would still dare to use his sword to kill.
Under Murong Xiaojuan's command, the surviving Tuyuhun soldiers continued to charge without stopping. However, this time, the momentum of charging forward was gone.
Li Jing naturally saw this scene and could not help but show a trace of pride. "General, do we need to reinforce the left side of the army?" A soldier asked worriedly.
Li Jing shook his head and said confidently, "Don't worry. With Cheng Yaojin here, the Tuyuhun will not be able to gain any advantage."
The infantrymen were just a flaw that Li Jing purposely showed to Fu Yun. This flaw would attract the Tuyuhun cavalry to their deaths. Fu Yun, the old fox, thought that the infantrymen of the Tang dynasty were easy to deal with. However, he did not know that the infantrymen of the Tang dynasty had already been reborn. The cavalry could only be injured and bleed in front of them.
300 steps!
Cheng Yaojin saw the Tuyuhun cavalry rushing over and said coldly, "Three-stage shooting, first row shooting!"
Suddenly, the crossbow bolts of the God's Arm Crossbow flew toward the Tuyuhun cavalry like a dense rain. This time, Cheng Yaojin was not only commanding 500 crossbowmen, but 3,000 crossbowmen. Thousands of bolts flew out every time. Under the power of the powerful mechanism, even if the Tuyuhun soldiers with amazing horsemanship hid beside their horses, the powerful crossbow bolts easily shot into the warhorses' bodies. The charging Tuyuhun cavalry was instantly thrown off their horses.
However, the Tuyuhun also made a big bet. The cavalry flooded in and attacked the Tang Army's infantrymen position at all costs. Even if the three-stage shooting was amazing, the Tuyuhun cavalry still forced their way to the front of the left side of the army regardless of the losses.
"Mo swordsmen, come out!" Cheng Yaojin shouted coldly.
"Swoosh!"
The snow-white blade flashed. The heavily armored Mo swordsmen at the front suddenly took a step forward and collided with the Tuyuhun cavalry. All the Mo swordsmen were burly soldiers in the army. They were wearing heavy armor that weighed dozens of kilograms. They actually resisted the impact of the Tuyuhun cavalry.
The Mo swordsmen were wearing heavy armor. They raised their swords and cut down the Tuyuhun soldiers one after another. The Tuyuhun cavalry fought back. The whole battlefield suddenly fell into a stalemate. Everyone was fighting for survival.
"Fire!"
With Meton's shout, another round of gunpowder bullets was suddenly fired from the Tuyuhun soldiers. Accompanied by flames and loud roars, the whole battlefield once again shook.
Fu Yun closed his eyes in pain. This time, in order to attack the infantrymen position, the Tuyuhun cavalry were concentrated in the front of the formation. They were too dense. The losses this time were probably heavier than the first round.
"Kill!"
A group of cavalry suddenly emerged from the back of the Tang Dynasty. Tuoba Chici led the Dang Xiang cavalry and rushed straight to the back of the Tang Dynasty army.
Li Jing snorted and waved the flag. Immediately, Qixin Heli led the Turks to meet them. The two groups of grassland cavalry were immediately entangled.
Even if a small group of cavalry suddenly attacked the back of the Tang Dynasty army, they were easily blocked by Su Dingfang's Macedonian phalanx.
Li Jing looked at the battlefield in a stalemate. He picked up the Sun Protective Goggles in his hand and saw only a trace of the sun. He could not help but clench his fists and said, "Fu Yun, this time you are wrong. The real battlefield is in the sky."
As soon as Li Jing's voice fell, the sky became darker and darker. The sun disappeared, and the day suddenly turned into night.
"The Heavenly Dog eats the sun!"
The Tuyuhun cavalry suddenly panicked. Not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the Tuyuhun thought that the Heavenly Dog eats the sun was the most ominous thing.
"Could it be that the grassland has abandoned us?" The Tuyuhun soldiers heard that the Tang Dynasty army used god-like weapons, and then the Heavenly Dog eats the sun. Many of them suddenly panicked.
"The Tang Dynasty has the destiny. We will win this battle."
The Tang Dynasty army, who had been informed and cured of their night blindness, had their morale greatly boosted. Under the dim light of the corona, they rushed to the enemy again.
"Shoot again!" In the darkness, Meton suddenly shouted.
Accompanied by the loud noise, ten dazzling flames once again exploded from the Tuyuhun army. The huge flames were particularly conspicuous in the darkness and were called the last straw that broke the Tuyuhun army's back.
The first to flee was Murong Xiaojuan's troops. After several rounds of gunpowder bombardment, Murong Xiaojuan's troops had already been tense. Coupled with the impact of the Heavenly Dog eats the sun, they were the first to collapse.
