In this attack on Uihe, the Tang army also had another sharp weapon, the iron fire thunder. There were nearly a hundred camels carrying a cyclone cannon. The cyclone cannon was a small stone cannon that could shoot hundreds of stones weighing dozens of kilograms. It is not fired from a camel, but because the camel can carry it and move like the wind, so it is called a cyclone cannon.
At this time, seven or eight cyclone cannons appeared behind Mo Daojun. Each cyclone cannon was equipped with a small iron fire mine weighing 40 kilograms. The iron fire mine was filled with poison-quenched iron nails.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
The eight cyclone cannons fired at the same time, and the iron fire mines passed over the heads of the heavy armored infantry and roared towards the dense crowd in the distance.
'boom!'
Eight iron fire thunders exploded in a crowded place. The explosion was thrilling, and dense poisonous iron nails shot out in all directions. Large areas of Uighur cavalry were killed and injured by the iron nails, but whether they were men or horses, once they were hit by the poisonous iron nails, If hit, it will lose combat effectiveness in a short period of time, leaving it ready to be killed.
The explosion of the iron fire thunder boosted the morale of the Tang army, but frightened the Uighurs, and their war will and morale quickly declined.
In the distance, Hedun Modagan also heard the iron fire thunder explosion. He was shocked and immediately thought of an unconfirmed legend. The 30,000 southern Huihe army was completely destroyed in Hedong Road the year before last. It is said that they died in a powerful weapon. Among the weapons, the few Uighur soldiers who escaped could not tell what kind of weapons they were. They only said that the sound was like thunder.
Only senior Uighur officials knew about this matter, and ordinary Uighur soldiers and people knew nothing about it.
Hedun Modagan immediately ordered: "Send the order to withdraw the troops!"
'Dang! Dang! Dang!'
The bell rang for withdrawal, and more than 10,000 Uighur troops left the battlefield one after another. However, Captain Basil shouted: "Evacuation is not allowed. Anyone who dares to evacuate will be killed without mercy!"
A hundred steps away, Guo Song suddenly heard Basil shouting. Only then did he realize that there was a big fish next to him. His eyes quickly locked on the shouting Basil.
Guo Song galloped on his horse, took off his small sky bow, drew out a wolf tooth arrow, drew the bow like a full moon while galloping, and shot out an arrow.
This wolf-fang arrow was extremely fast. It arrived in front of Basil in the blink of an eye. Before he could react, 'Pfft!' the arrow shot from his mouth. The arrow with blood and brain matter came out from the back of his head. This arrow penetrated Basil's head.
Basil didn't even scream. He fell on his back and died miserably on the spot.
Thousands of cavalrymen who were stopped by him watched helplessly as their general was killed by an arrow. They were so frightened that they turned around and fled for their lives faster.
At this time, Guo Song issued a summons order, "Blow the hundred trumpets!"
'Woo--' A hundred horns sounded at the same time, and the low and desolate sound of the horns echoed between heaven and earth.
‘Woo——’ a horn sounded in response from the east, and Li Bing appeared with 20,000 cavalry;.
Immediately afterwards, the trumpet sound sounded from the north, "Woo--". This was the main response from the 20,000 troops led by Yao Jin.
Hedun Modagan's face changed drastically. He suddenly realized that they had entered the trap of the Tang army. The Tang army was definitely not more than 20,000 people, but probably 50,000 or 60,000. Their intelligence errors put them in a desperate situation.
"Break through and return to Yazhang!"
Hedun Modagan issued an order for the entire army to retreat. He must break out of the encirclement before the enemy's encirclement was completed and withdraw to the tent. This was a royal army. If the entire army was destroyed, he would not survive.
However, the withdrawal order was still too late. From the north and east, a black mass of cavalry appeared, boundless, and came towards the Uighur army.
The Modao Army and the cavalry in the south also continued to move north. The Tang Army cut off all the retreat routes of the Huihe Army from three directions: north, south, south, east, and west. Hedun Modagan took a look at Hungu Water, and he was completely desperate.
.........
In Huihe Yazhang, a family banquet was held to appease Princess Ye. The atmosphere was lively. The people attending the banquet were all members of the Huihe royal family, including Dorothy's brothers, nephews, and his wives and concubines.
Dorothy held the wine cup and smiled and said: "It's been a long time since we had such a family gathering. When we get together, we feel more family ties. In the future, gatherings like this should be held more often."
Tonight, more than half of the guests were female. At Princess Ye’s suggestion, everyone no longer drank traditional milk wine, but instead drank wine. The best wine from the Central Plains provided by Princess Ye was a national gift from the Tang Dynasty.
, Meishou wine.
Princess Ye raised her glass and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Wang's suggestion is excellent. I suggest holding a family banquet once a month."
She looked at Dorothy, raised her jade cup and said, "Brother Wang, I use a jade cup to toast you. I heard that you must use a jade cup to drink wine, so that the taste will be stronger."
"Okay! I'll use a jade cup too."
Princess Ye picked up the jug and filled the jade cup with wine, and said with a smile: "Let's put aside our old grudges and drink this drink. From now on, I will no longer be involved in politics and will completely hand over the power to Brother Wang."
Dorothy was overjoyed and asked, "Princess, do you really mean what you said?"
“When have we prairie people ever broken our word?”
Dorothy was overjoyed, raised his jade cup and said, "Let's do it!"
The two drank the wine in one gulp, and through their fingers, a coldness flashed in Princess Ye's eyes.
They had a great time drinking, and everyone dispersed after being half drunk. However, Princess Ye grabbed Princess Li Ruyi of Xian'an and asked her to chat with her tonight.
Douluo Si smiled and said: "You guys have a good chat, it won't be too late to come back tomorrow."
Princess Ye pulled Li Ruyi onto the carriage, and several of Li Ruyi's personal maids also followed on horseback. Zhang Yun led more than a hundred cavalry to escort the carriage and drove towards the east camp.
As the carriage entered the camp, Princess Ye ordered Zhang Yun: "Send an order to the other troops that no one is allowed to sleep tonight."
"I understand the humble position!"
Zhang Yun immediately sent someone to deliver the order.
Li Ruyi was surprised and asked quickly: "What happened?"
Princess Ye smiled and said: "I brought you here to save your life, otherwise neither Ketun nor the Khan's soldiers would be able to spare you."
"Why?"
"Don't ask any more questions, you will know in the evening."
Li Ruyi was shocked and confused, but did not dare to make random guesses, so she had no choice but to follow Princess Ye back to the big tent.
That night, a commotion began in the tent. Princess Ye did not sleep. She was waiting in the tent wearing armor. Li Ruyi did not dare to sleep. She vaguely guessed something and was so confused.
At this time, a guard hurriedly reported at the door of the tent, "Princess Qi, there is news from the tent. The Khan vomited blood and died after several fights."
"ah!"
Li Ruyi stood up immediately. She couldn't bear it any longer. She quickly walked up to Princess Ye and asked, "It was you... who poisoned the Khan."
"Ruyi, you are still too naive. The Khan has poisoned the milk wine tonight. If I drink it, I will be the one who vomits blood."
"But...how could Khan?"
Princess Ye said calmly: "If he wants to kill me, should I just sit back and wait for death?"
"You...you are simply not human." Li Ruyi sat down slumped.
"Is it not uncommon for your royal family to kill each other, father and son, and mother and son?"
Princess Ye glanced at her coldly and said: "If Zhang Yun hadn't asked me to save you, I wouldn't have pulled you here. Once they knew that the source of the poison came from grapes from the Tang Dynasty, have you ever thought about your own fate? Let me tell you.
, you are lucky to even commit suicide by taking poison, you will be worse off than dead, thousands of men are waiting for you."
After saying that, Princess Ye strode out of the camp.
Princess Ye's camp is about three miles away from the main camp. There are 3,000 troops, 1,000 Han guards and 2,000 guards from her own tribe. The camp covers an area of several hundred acres and is dotted with hundreds of large tents.
Princess Ye's tribe is a thousand miles away in the east, called Yehe tribe, and she is also called Princess Ye. Generally, she will return to her pasture in autumn and winter, and come to Khan's tent in spring and summer, but
She did not go back last year and participated in the struggle for the Uyghur Khan. She assisted Douluo Si in seizing the position of Khan.
This time Douluosi was poisoned by her, and the Tang army had come to kill him from the south. She planned to return to the tribe at dawn, but she had to get news of Douluosi's death before she could leave with peace of mind.
Princess Ye rode to the camp gate, and several commanders came forward to greet her. Princess Ye glanced at Zhang Yun and said to him: "Follow me!"
After they rode for more than ten steps, Princess Ye whispered: "Are you really not coming with me?"
Zhang Yun shook his head, "I can't betray myself. Maybe one day in the future, I will come to the grassland to visit you."
Princess Ye sighed softly, "I also know that I can't keep you, but I am still very happy. I have calculated the days and I should be pregnant with your child. Zhang Yun, please take Princess Xianning away! You guys today
I’ll leave later, I’m going back too.”
Zhang Yun nodded silently, and Princess Ye suddenly turned around and hugged him, lying on his shoulder and burst into tears.
