17. Tang Jun's new weapons
First, the four teams at the forefront stopped, shaking the big and big flags, and then the teams behind them spread out in fan shapes like the "corners" of the chariots in the Spring and Autumn Period, and soon formed a huge horizontal formation to cover up the various colors of vehicles behind them.
The Tang soldiers in the first horizontal formation became the chaotic slut, and the other 40% were arranged behind the side of the pavilion team, each holding a palladium in his hands, and carrying a fire flint, a medicine twist and a Wenwen Divine Thunder Rocket.
Then the second horizontal formation was also listed, some of which were group players, jumpers, and other parts were crossbowers and palladium boring players.
The last one was the vehicle, and Xu Si's mule soldiers were in charge.
"Boom!" There was a trembling sound, and in the middle of the car, several drummers beat the drums from both sides of the front and back.
The long scepter like a forest and the dense palladium, in the sun and the wind and smoke, the blades shone with scales, and began to follow the sound of drums, the small flags and commands of the banners, and the soldiers of the Dingwu Army in the horizontal formation moved forward in their legs, and the armor pieces that swayed as they moved, shaking with their movements, shaking the sound of a low tide.
At this moment, many people, who had gathered together in front of each other, looked fearful on their faces.
They who are used to boasting about their own bravery will instinctively feel "This is not a bloody fight between the two sides!" and then feel fear and retreat.
Because the second general of the Dingwu Army, the eighth battalion, had more than 3,000 infantry, had emerged from the momentum of a 20,000 to 30,000 troops:
The Dingwu Army's formation, after advancing ten steps, stopped raucously.
Then there was a loud drum sound, and they responded to the drum sound and continued to move forward ten steps forward.
The drums were heard one after another, solid and powerful, and the Tang army was getting closer and closer to these group of party leaders.
Until a hundred steps away, the Dangxiang cavalry began to draw bows and shoot arrows, and arrows were constantly being fired from the manes of their horses. The arrows were scattered in the air, with little light, falling one after another. When the Tang army formation was scattered, some Tang soldiers fell down by their arrows and were soon dragged away by their companions. The entire horizontal lineup was still as solid as an iron wall.
The palladium boring and palladium boring and palladium boring and following the order, they knelt on the ground, and began to tie divine thunder rockets to the palladium boring and palladium boring and then lit them. Soon, in the Tang army's formation, which stretched across five hundred steps, the violent sparks, with screaming blue smoke, first scattered, then became denser, and even gathered.
The Dangxiang cavalry group fell into a brief state of shock.
Then the sound of the sky and the earth burst out, and hundreds of divine thunder rockets dragged their bright tails and flew out from rows of palladium teeth. The smoke of the rolling gunpowder "swallowed" the Tang army's large horizontal formation, and the rockets shot out were also "teared" the formations of the Dangxiang cavalry who came to intercept - some people were overturned, while others were running wildly.
Then in the white smoke, the Tang army's long-time soldiers rushed out, and the shouts of unison made the Dangxiang war horses neigh. The Dangxiang cavalry, who were equivalent to the second general of the Dingwu Army, were defeated in an instant and fled along the Dashunchuan in groups of three or three to the northeast.
Cheng Junren did not chase after him, and asked the mule soldiers to cut off the heads of the killed people in the six palaces and hang them under the chariot. He directly ordered the grass from Dashunchuan to Baibaochuan to burn all the grass.
Later, the Tang army's horizontal formation once again turned into a marching column and continued to advance towards Baijingshu. Some soldiers stayed for the time being, two people were in a group, one wearing a cotton coat with armor and holding a fire tube, while the other was carrying a fire pot, standing scattered on the grassland by the river.
The water and grass here are lush and are the most suitable place for herding horses and camping. Then burning them will cut off the basic source of survival of the Dangxiang cattle, horses and sheep, which are nomadic peoples.
"Puff!" A series of hot flames that were more than meter long spewed out of the fire tube and rolled among the long grass. The cool and dry air in early autumn is the most suitable for arson, and you only need to stand on the upper wind.
The Tang army reinforcements advancing to Baijingshu were hung on the chariot, and an endless fire ignited behind them...
"What, Fan Luo who went to intercept him was defeated. The Tang family reinforcements were moving from Great Wall Ridge toward this place?" Prince Nixiang on Tongqiu Mountain looked at Baijingshu surrounded by fire and arrows opposite, and then shouted to the people who came to report the news.
The man also told him that the Tang army carried a mysterious long tube, which seemed to be in the shape of a dragon's head at the top. The launching mechanism could fly out the dazzling fire dragon and burn all the grass in a radius of several miles.
There are also a large number of three-toothed long-handled weapons. The rockets with toothed heads can fly straight away without a bowstring. All of our people will be killed immediately.
"The grass is burned away, how can we spend the winter? We can shoot a large number of rockets without a bowstring. What is the use of our cavalry?" Prince Nixiang felt that this resistance from the party might be a miserable road to no return.
Because Gao Yue's military regulations in charge of the Tang army had surpassed his imagination, or most people of his contemporaries.
But when he learned that there were only more than 3,000 Tang troops coming to aid, Prince Nixiang still had the idea of "try it, concentrate his superior military force, first eat up this deep Tang army, and then take advantage of the arrival of the main force of the Tang army to attack and kill Baijingshu."
At this time, the slopes on all sides of Baijingshu were filled with the bodies of the injured people of the Six Palaces. The wooden fences, tree trunks, and rock cracks were all arrows. Some were bent and some were inserted straightly, but the defenders also suffered more than 300 casualties. The first wooden fence was destroyed. Zhou Ziping and Sibo Dayo surrounded the beacon towers and spring wells at the core of the mountaintop. Based on the earth and wooden fences, they formed the second line of defense with more than 200 steps in length and width, and the last line of defense.
After spending a night, the next day, more than 10,000 governments and Dangxiang of the six governments almost unstoppable attacks on the Baijing Shu barrier. This time they became flexible and no longer charged in a dense formation. Instead, they teamed up with three or five people, using trees, grass, rocks, and even the bodies left by their companions on the hillside as cover, approaching Tang Fang's wooden fence and earth building, and then pulling the string and firing arrows.
A cousin next to Siba Ono was leaning behind the wall just now, preparing to pull the bow, but an instant cold arrow flew into the gap in the wall and penetrated straight through his neck. Blood splattered Siba Ono all over, and dyed a large piece of the earthy wall red. When Siba Ono pulled the cousin back, he had already swallowed when he saw that the other party was already breathing.
Under such continuous shooting, the entire Baijingshu's battle became extremely cruel: twenty or thirty steps away, or even ten steps away, across the road wall, through the road wooden fence, or just through some rocks, either you draw a bow or he shoots an arrow, life and death are destined in that second, the casualties of the defenders are getting bigger and bigger, and their mentality and will begin to reach the critical point.
