Firearms and gunpowder are absolutely unfair against cold weapons.
If there is enough control, the Tang Army will win today's battle without any doubt.
It is a pity that after the leader Qibi Heli went south, he took away most of the firearms and gunpowder from the camp.
It was originally thought that the five thousand soldiers stationed in the camp would only need to guard the camp. Unexpectedly, Goguryeo colluded with the foreign tribes, which caused the five thousand Tang army to be short of gunpowder.
A series of explosions knocked the enemy troops on the left and right wings to their knees. The battlefield was filled with blood and broken limbs that were blown to pieces.
Hundreds of explosive packets were detonated at the same time, and the power produced was more terrifying than the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
The earth shook when the explosion occurred, countless smoke rose up, and screams of crying fathers and mothers were heard. The battlefield instantly seemed to turn into a Shura hell. The enemy troops who were originally actively attacking suddenly fell into chaos. Hundreds of explosives were fired.
They detonated at the same time, causing countless casualties to the enemy.
The situation of the battle seemed to be reversed in an instant. The soldiers of the Tang Army on the left and right wings were inspired and immediately lined up and fired under the general's order to expand the results of the battle.
Before the enemy soldiers who were lucky enough to survive the explosion had time to rejoice, countless people were hit by oncoming firearm projectiles, and the Tang army claimed another group of lives.
Twenty thousand enemy troops faced off against five thousand Tang troops. The situation in which the enemy had a sure chance of victory changed with the appearance of explosive packs.
The enemy troops in the front and center were still fighting fiercely with the Tang army, but the enemy troops on the left and right flanks suffered heavy losses.
Li Qinzai was calm and calm, but he was sighing secretly in his heart.
The last batch of explosive packets were thrown out, and all the Tang Army's trump cards were used.
What follows is a head-on fight, with no shortcuts.
Although Li Qinzai was regretful, the enemy general far away had a dark face.
They originally thought that after making huge sacrifices and breaking through the 200-step death zone of the Tang Army, their firearms would become useless. However, what they didn't expect was that the Tang Army actually hid even more terrifying firearms.
The ground was shaking just now, and the surrounding mountains seemed to be shaking. The general watched helplessly as his warriors were blown to pieces. He even saw countless stumps falling in mid-air.
This loud noise was a huge sacrifice.
What frightens the general even more is how many unknown firearms will the Tang army hide in the future? If there are more explosions like that just now, they will definitely be defeated today, and it will be a defeat of 20,000 to 5,000. It will be written down
A shame for history books.
The enemy general's face was ferocious, and the muscles in his cheeks were trembling. After a long time, he suddenly ordered the troops to retreat.
He didn't know if the Tang army still had such terrifying firearms, but he knew he couldn't afford to gamble. If there were a few more rounds, all the warriors under his command would be wiped out today.
A qualified general must at least keep a clear mind on the battlefield, know how to seek good luck and avoid disaster, and use the safest way to win victory, instead of risking the lives of all the soldiers in the army like now.
The enemy soldiers who were fighting hard on the battlefield were on the verge of mental collapse. The explosions were so terrifying. After the explosions, their morale and morale were completely lost, even if the Tang army was not as numerous as them.
, they still had the urge to turn around and run away.
At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of ringing gold, and the enemy officers and soldiers immediately turned around and ran away as if they were listening to the sound of nature.
It comes like a tide and recedes like a tide.
Only thousands of corpses were left on the battlefield, including those of the enemy and those of the Tang army.
"Reorganize the array immediately and clean the battlefield, quickly!" Liu Renyuan, covered in blood, shouted sternly while waving a knife.
Walking in front of Li Qinzai, Liu Renyuan cupped his fists and said, "Li Shuai, we have a small victory. We have defended this important road going south!"
Li Qinzai nodded, looked around, looked at the corpses of the war dead everywhere, and sighed secretly: "Thank you, General Liu, please quickly count the casualties of our soldiers, as well as the damage of weapons, the remaining amount of gunpowder, etc."
Liu Renyuan responded loudly.
Not long after, Liu Renyuan hurried over, his eyes clearly red, and choked with sobs to report the casualties to Li Qinzai.
In the battle just now, the enemy army suffered a total of more than 8,000 casualties, and nearly half of the 20,000 enemy troops were casualties. There were no injured. Regardless of the injured or surrendered enemy troops, they were all mercilessly killed by the Tang Army soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield.
.
The casualties of the Tang army were not small, with about two thousand casualties, not counting the minor injuries, and more than 400 serious injuries. Like the enemy, more than half were killed.
If we only look at the number of casualties between the enemy and ourselves, the Tang Army undoubtedly won a great victory in this battle.
Comparing the casualties of more than 2,000 and more than 8,000, it is clear that the Tang army made a lot of money.
However, the score cannot be settled this way, because this battle is not over yet.
The enemy ordered the troops to retreat, but did not retreat.
The scouts came to report and after paying the gold, the enemy troops retreated five miles and garrisoned troops, showing no intention of withdrawing their troops.
Li Qinzai wanted to stick to this only way to go south, but the enemy general was determined to open up this only way to go south.
The two armies are fighting and confronting each other, and no one will compromise and retreat easily.
Li Qinzai concluded that the enemy army would definitely launch another attack. After a fierce battle, the enemy army still had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, but the Tang army only had more than 2,000 soldiers left. The enemy general had no reason to give up the upcoming victory.
Feeling increasingly heavy, Li Qinzai knew that the next fierce battle would be even more brutal, and this place would be the burial place of the soldiers, including him.
The moans and cries of the wounded soldiers could be heard in the ears, and the military doctors ran around among the wounded with pale faces.
The soldiers who died in battle were carried outside the battlefield, with no time to bury them, no time to pick up their stumps, no time to even cry for the dead soldiers, no time to say goodbye.
In fact, everyone was not busy. Most of the soldiers were sitting or lying down, taking out dry food and swallowing it in large gulps. They wanted to save their energy and restore their strength. Everyone knew that this war was not over yet.
Except for the groans of the wounded, there was silence all around. The soldiers were munching dry food numbly, and no one in the crowd made a sound.
Occasionally, a heart-rending howl would suddenly be heard, which was a farewell to the once-living Pao Ze.
War brings people more than just the joy after victory.
…………
In the humiliating city.
A mutiny has occurred.
Without any warning in advance, when the civil servants and generals guarding the city came to An Xuanhuan's house for a birthday banquet with their own thoughts, and they were halfway through the wine, An Xuanhuan suddenly changed his face and changed suddenly.
Hundreds of defenders loyal to An Xuanhuan rushed into the hall and put swords on everyone's necks. As for the civil servant who had taken away An Xuanhuan's military power, An Xuanhuan drew his sword before he could ask angrily.
He cut off the head with his own hands.
At the birthday banquet, the generals who were attracted by the civil servants and betrayed An Xuanhuan were tied up and put into prison.
At the same time, a dozen generals loyal to An Xuanhuan quickly entered the barracks and took over the military power. After killing a group of stubborn defenders, the city finally returned to An Xuanhuan's control.
The dust of the mutiny had settled, and An Xuanhuan had no way out.
Xue Ne was finally relieved and couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
It's ridiculous, but he actually captured this city without a single blow. Who can reason with him for having such great power fell on his own head?
