Chapter 824 Uighur Cavalry vs Datang Infantry (3)
"What's that dark?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm refusing my horse."
"Haha, you want to laugh to death, why do you want to stop the horse from behind? Will you block the retreat of the Tang people's infantry?"
"These Tang soldiers are really stupid. Don't worry, kill them all!"
"kill!"
Riding on the horse, the Uighur cavalry could vaguely see something black behind the Tang army's infantry phalanx placing on the ground, but I don't know what it was.
Out of contempt, the Uighur cavalry were full of ridicule, but with someone taking the lead, the entire Uighur cavalry formation was filled with shocking shouts and killing.
The Uighur cavalry with superb riding skills drove the horses to speed up. At first, they saw the cavalry who were still imposing and gathered into a dense charge formation.
The sound of horse hooves became heavier and heavier. When the Uighur army began to charge, the vibrating movement made everyone present tremble in their hearts.
Many people started to sweat coldly, but seeing that Liu Kui, who was in the head coach, still looked calm, these soldiers were very satisfied.
"Five hundred steps!"
"Four hundred and fifty steps!"
When the observer said that there were only 450 steps, Liu Kui seemed to feel the sound of horse hooves echoing in his ears, and immediately raised his hand: "Soldiers, let us teach the Uighurs a lesson today, let them know our determination and strength to return to the Western Regions, long live the Tang Dynasty!"
"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
The neat shouts overshadowed the sound of horse hooves for a moment, and then Liu Kui ordered, "Light..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The 12 artillery pieces of the first platoon were ignited, and flames and smoke rushed out of the muzzle. Then the officers of the artillery force took over the command and ordered the 12 artillery pieces of the second platoon to open fire and "ignite..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The entire Uighurs' charge formation was hundreds of meters wide, but the 12 cannons were a little sparse and could not be covered all, and they were all solid lead bullets at the beginning.
The Uighur cavalry, who had already started charging at full speed, watched iron balls roaring.
The people at the forefront are the most dangerous, so they are qualified to be a plaque.
Moreover, the national strength of the Xizhou Uighurs is not as strong as that of the Karakhan Dynasty. Although there are some workshops, the scale and technology are not good.
After collecting the equipment of 4,000 heavy cavalry, it is impossible to provide too good protection for other soldiers.
The troops directly belonging to Pugulin are not bad. At least the front of the soldiers in front are still iron pieces. Although they are simply sewn together with cowhide, they are much better than the leather armor directly used by other tribes, and even without armor.
The lead bullet rushed into the crowd, and then there was a burst of ping-pong sounds, and the limbs and blood paved a path of blood.
Even though the charge formation was very wide, the charges of tens of thousands of people were still very dense. In the end, the Uighur cavalry in front could only watch the lead bullets roaring in, praying that their luck would not be so bad.
Although the damage caused by one round of artillery bombardment was not large, and the vacant spaces that appeared were quickly filled by others, the morale impact was quite large.
You should know that the two thousand heavy cavalry rushing in the front and the middle are still unable to stop the lead bullet.
As soon as the lead bullet flew over, even the heavy cavalry covered in armor would be smashed and vomited blood, and the war horses below could not bear the impact.
Because the formation is too dense, each lead bullet can hit at least one person.
Seeing that the first round of artillery was not very effective, the officer quickly ordered the artillery to continue firing.
"Open fire!"
"Boom boom boom..."
A lead bullet suddenly hit the head of a Uighur heavy cavalry. A crisp sound came. The heavy cavalry's head was knocked off one piece, and he fell off his war horse and was trampled into mud by the horse's hooves behind him.
The lead bullet still castrates, but it still hits the soldiers behind.
The soldiers behind wanted to avoid it, but the war horse under his command was hit, and the war horse fell down in pain. The soldiers were directly thrown off the horse, like a drop of water falling into a pool, and no sensation could be splashed.
The fire rate of the cannon was still slower, and the distance quickly narrowed by hundreds of steps.
Seeing this, Liu Kui ordered the cannon to be replaced with the flowering bullet, and the crossbowman also began to fight back.
The casualties caused by several rounds of artillery were only a few hundred people, but there were 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry rushing against each other.
Although the Uighur soldiers at the front had a shadow on the lead bullet, they began to be excited when they saw the Tang army's infantry formation getting closer and closer, and they all clenched the scimitar in their hands.
In their eyes, the spear formation was just a small ridge that war horses could fly over just by just one leap.
But then the whistling sound of "chirp" came from the Tang army camp, and then they saw bursts of arrows shooting, and the density was incomprehensible.
Faced with this dense rain of arrows, the Uighur cavalry in the front were upside down, and the war horses behind were still charging, and many people were directly tripped by the friendly forces in front.
Just when these cavalry had just rushed through the obstacle caused by their own corpses, there was another heavy rain of arrows, as well as the flowering bullets and rockets.
And the scene in front of the Pu Gulin and others who were supervising the battle in the rear were shocked when they saw it, especially what happened to the explosion?
Thinking of the previous explosion in Datun City, they seemed to realize something.
It can be said that one hundred steps became the forbidden area for Uighur cavalry.
From the rush to the present, the Uighur cavalry suffered heavy losses between 300 and 100 steps, with unowned war horses everywhere, and very few rushed forward with a hundred steps.
Although I don’t know how much the loss is, there are definitely two or three thousand people.
"Khan, why don't you retreat. The Tang army's rain of arrows is so powerful. If we continue to rush forward, we will suffer heavy losses even if we rush into the Tang army camp." Someone suggested.
"If you can't retreat, you will be defeated if you retreat. Find a way to let the heavy cavalry break out of a bloody path for Ben Khan. As long as you rush into the Tang army's infantry formation, we will win!"
Although the losses of thousands of people are huge, there is no point in giving up. Although giving up now, although you can get rid of it, it has a great impact on morale. He does not allow it, and the Uighurs in Xizhou do not allow this situation.
......
"The Uighurs are quite fighting. Is it so life-deserving? Bendu Guard wants to see how many people there are waiting for your cavalry to come in."
Liu Kui looked at it with a telescope, especially those clear scenes, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh that this Uighur is really hard-working.
"Major Protector, what are you looking at? That's it?" Yuchi came over at some time and saw the wooden stick in Liu Kui's hand, and was a little confused.
"This? It is called a telescope. It was invented by the Emperor. You can see a very distant place. You can see it. That's how it looks."
Liu Kui immediately handed the telescope to Yuchi, who quickly followed with both hands and put it in front of him as Liu Kui said.
When he saw it, he was shocked, "Why are you so close?"
After adapting for a while, he learned how to use a telescope. When he saw the scene before that time, his stomach was a little rolling...
"Hell on earth!"
"Are Loulan Hou still worried now?" Liu Kui asked.
"If this is the case, even if the Uighurs can rush in, the cavalry's rushing will be greatly weakened, and it will not be afraid." Yuchi No. 1 nodded.
The difficulty of cavalry is to fight the rush. If the infantry phalanx cannot withstand the rush of cavalry, it will be defeated miserably, and the infantry will eventually become the lambs to be slaughtered by the cavalry.
But the cavalry's rushing force is gone, and the advantages are much less.
However, Yuchi Ju was also a little confused, "But even so, we can't keep the Uighurs."
Liu Kui smiled and said, "Did Loulan Hou forget the cavalry behind my army? What would happen if they were going to suddenly kill?"
"What's the result?".
Only then did Yuchi remember that there were 10,000 elite cavalry dozens of miles behind him. He looked at the Uighur state in front of him. If such an elite cavalry would come out.
Chapter completed!
