Under the darkness, the gunpowder bombs rumbled again and again like the angry roars of ghosts and gods. The rumors that were circulating in the army quickly spread in everyone's heart.
The more primitive a place was, the more they believed in ghosts and gods. In Tuyuhun, Buddhism was extremely popular. In addition to the primitive wizard's divination, ghosts and gods could be said to have infiltrated into all aspects of Tuyuhun. Even during this expedition, Fu Yun had also requested the Tuyuhun wizard to perform divination.
And the result of the divination was that with the help of the God of the Grassland, Tuyuhun would definitely win this battle. At this moment, Fu Yun wished he could cut that wizard into pieces. Even the Heavenly Dog came to help the Tang Army, and he still dared to say that the God of the Grassland was on his side.
If it was daytime, Fu Yun would naturally have a chance to save the situation. However, the world was dark, and Fu Yun had no way to mobilize the army even if he wanted to. In addition, the Tuyuhun soldiers' discipline was lax. If it was a smooth battle, it would still be fine. However, the fully armored cavalry, rock-solid infantrymen, and the night blindness had mostly improved after Li Jing provided them with meat at all costs. Under the darkness, they could still kill the enemy as usual. This caused the Tuyuhun soldiers to immediately fall into a disadvantage. It seemed that the Tuyuhun army's defeat was already inevitable.
"Khan, let's retreat! As long as there's life, there's hope! "Tianzhu King borrowed the light from the gunpowder bombs and couldn't help but say.
"Blow the golden horn! All troops retreat! "
Fu Yun didn't persist for too long in the face of Tianzhu King's advice. If the attack failed, they would retreat. This was the usual tactic of the grassland cavalry tribes. Moreover, the world was dark at this moment, which was just right for them to retreat.
"Toot toot!"
The horn sounded, and a large number of Tuyuhun cavalry who were still fighting began to retreat from the battlefield.
"You want to escape? This is the moment I've been waiting for!" When Li Jing heard the horn, a rare smile appeared on his solemn face.
When Meton heard the sound of the horn signaling the retreat of the Tuyuhun cavalry, he suddenly jumped up and excitedly said to the soldiers of the Firearms Division, "Brothers, today you will have a feast for your eyes. Not only will you see the Heavenly Dog eating the sun, but you will also see the most beautiful man-made scenery in the world."
Meton grabbed a torch and ignited a fuse beside a square paper box. If someone from the future was here, they would definitely find this item very familiar. It was a common firework in the future.
"Bang!"
With a muffled groan, a bright spot of light suddenly flew into the dark sky, instantly piercing through the darkness.
Boom!
The specks of light suddenly exploded, erupting into a dazzling light that made people unable to help but be intoxicated.
Immediately after, the second, third, and fourth fireworks suddenly rose into the sky and exploded in the air one after another. The whole battlefield was as bright as day.
Li Jing and the other generals looked at the sky full of fireworks blooming in the air, illuminating the fighting figures on the ground, which looked particularly ferocious.
"The Way of Light and Shadow, the School of Mo is unrivaled in the world." Li Jing's eyes reflected the colorful colors, and his face was full of amazement.
With Li Jing's insight, he could naturally see the military use of fireworks. In addition to being used in night battles, they could also be used by scouts. When there was an alarm, fireworks would be set off, which would certainly not give the enemy any chance to launch a sneak attack.
The eyes of the Tang Army soldiers lit up, and they were immediately in high spirits. With the help of the light of the fireworks, they bravely killed the enemy.
Cheng Chumo was riding a tall horse, and with a sudden thrust of his spear, he knocked a panicked Tuyuhun cavalryman off his horse. Qin Huaiyu, who had a tacit understanding with him, suddenly urged his horse forward and beheaded this cavalryman.
"Kill!" Yuchi Baolin suddenly dashed forward with his lance, piercing through a Tuyuhun soldier who wanted to launch a sneak attack.
The three of them immediately gathered together. Looking at the fireworks in the sky above their heads, they said in unison, "I knew that Meton had a trick up his sleeve."
"This time, Meton will definitely make a great contribution. We can't fall behind." Qin Huaiyu's several months of military career had already made the naivety on his face disappear, and he said with a resolute face.
The three of them looked at each other, and with the help of the fireworks, they saw a group of Tuyuhun cavalrymen gathering. Immediately, they spurred their horses to charge forward.
"Kill!"
The three of them suddenly shouted and charged straight at the Tuyuhun cavalrymen who were several times their number. The Tuyuhun cavalrymen who had just gathered to resist were immediately defeated again.
Similar scenes like this could be seen everywhere on the battlefield. For a moment, the Tuyuhun cavalrymen suffered heavy casualties.
"Puff! We've been tricked! "
Fu Yun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. If he had not ordered a retreat and endured the solar eclipse, he would not have suffered such heavy losses. When the solar eclipse was over, he would have had plenty of opportunities to withdraw his troops.
He originally thought that he could withdraw his troops under the cover of darkness and then slowly plan his next move. The Tang Army actually had such a trick up their sleeves. However, his withdrawal completely consumed the last trace of the Tuyuhun army's will to resist.
The Tuyuhun soldiers called themselves wolves, and the Tang Army sheep. However, at this moment, their positions suddenly changed. The Tang Army immediately became the fierce wolves, and the Tuyuhun soldiers became the cowardly sheep. No matter how many sheep there were, they would only end up being slaughtered in the end.
"They have the weapon of the God of Heaven, the help of the Heavenly Dog, and the magic to dispel the darkness. Could it be that the Tang Army really has the help of the God of Heaven? " Fu Yun stared at the dazzling fireworks that soared into the sky. They were like streaks of sharp killing intent. Countless Tuyuhun warriors howled in agony under the light.
"Retreat, continue to retreat!"
Fu Yun suddenly roared. At this moment, he was powerless to reverse the situation. The only thing he could do now was to escape from this dark place as far away as possible, to a place where the Tang Army could not find him.
This time, he would walk the same path as 30 years ago. Once again, he would embark on the road of escape. From the high and mighty Wolf King, he would become a homeless, defeated, and wandering Wolf King.
Last time, he was able to make a comeback under the pursuit of the Sui Army. This time, he would also be able to escape from the Tang Army.
He would definitely be able to.
At this moment, the Tang Army launched an all-out attack. Even the leader of the army was holding a kitchen knife. He pulled over a Tuyuhun warhorse that had lost its master, turned over, and urged the horse to go to the front line.
The firearms supervisor had become an anomaly on the whole battlefield. In the beliefs of the firearms supervisor instilled by Meton, as long as it was not a matter of life and death, the firearms supervisor would never go to the battlefield with a knife, because their weapons were no longer knives and guns, but gunpowder, which was ten times or even a hundred times more powerful than knives and swords.
In front of the firearms supervisor's position, fireworks soared into the air. Above the sky, the eclipse of the sun was high, and the sky was dark. Above the sky, the fireworks were brilliant, and the sky was bright. On the ground, hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen were fighting fiercely.
On this grassland, the strange phenomena of heaven and earth and the man-made beauty complemented each other. The explosion of fireworks resonated with the sound of fighting. Light, darkness, and blood coexisted, becoming the three eternal primary colors of heaven and earth.
"This is probably the most beautiful fireworks since ancient times!"
