Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1098
The combat power of the nomads has been very fierce since ancient times.

As a farming nation, China has always been a headache for the nomadic peoples in the north. The thousands of years of Chinese history, if summed up in one word, is the history of farming peoples resisting the invasion of nomadic peoples for generations.

A person as powerful as Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, when the Tang Dynasty was first established, faced the Turkic invasion, and the Turkic people had almost reached Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin had to sign a compromise treaty with the Turkic people on the Weishui River , known as the "Weishui Alliance" in history.

This incident has always been considered by Li Shimin to be the greatest shame in his life. It was not until a few years later that Li Jing led his army to attack the Turks in the north, and the Turks fled in embarrassment.

It can be seen from this that the combat power of the nomads should not be underestimated. Even Li Shimin has a headache and even has to compromise. Li Qinzai does not think that he is stronger than Li Shimin.

Under the moonlit night, the tremors on the ground became more and more clear, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from a distance. Before the enemy was seen, they could already feel how invincible this army was.

Under the command of Liu Renyuan, the soldiers lined up two hundred steps away from the minefield. All of them nervously clenched the three-eyed guns in their hands, staring solemnly into the distance.

Since the Eastern Expedition, the soldiers of the Tang army have relied on sharp firearms, and basically fought with the wind in every battle, and there is not much suspense about winning.

However, at this moment today is the time to test the true combat power of Tang Jun.The enemy they faced was extremely brave and had the natural advantage of cavalry, while the five thousand Tang troops were all infantry, and they were inferior to the enemy in terms of numbers and types of troops. It was certain that today would be a fierce battle.

Li Qinzai stood in the middle of the army with a stern expression, staring at the cavalry who gradually appeared in the distance.

In the dark night, this cavalry formed a charging formation in an orderly manner. The front was a conical tip composed of hundreds of people, and then the flanks spread out like wings. If viewed from above, their formation looked like a The unsheathed sword was stabbing Tang Jun fiercely.

Li Qinzai pursed his lips, but still did not say a word. He had already handed over the command to Liu Renyuan, so he would not interfere indiscriminately with Liu Renyuan's command.

In the formation of the Chinese army, Feng Su and other tributaries did not have weapons in their hands, but each held an iron shield, surrounded Li Qinzai in the middle, and watched the movement in the distance nervously.

Li Qinzai glanced at them and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. Unless the front line is broken, the enemy's arrows won't be able to hit the center line."

Feng Su shook his head and said solemnly: "Wu Shaolang, don't underestimate the enemy's arrows. The Mohe people and Xi people in the north live in forests and grasslands all year round. They make a living by hunting."

"These people have practiced archery since they were young. There are as many sharpshooters in the army as there are stars, but there are not a few people who are strong enough to pull five stone bows. Although you are in the Chinese army, you can't defend against them."

Zheng Sanlang, who was still holding the handsome flag next to him, refused to accept it, and said in a low voice, "It's not necessarily a strong person who pulls five stone bows, I can pull eight stones."

Feng Su scolded with a smile: "Stupid, is it time to compare your strength? Hold the flag well, this is the prestige and face of our Wu Shaolang. If the handsome flag falls, the morale of the army will be lost."

Zheng Sanlang immediately straightened his body and raised the flag higher.

"Boss, don't worry, even if I am hacked into pieces, I can guarantee that the handsome flag will stand firmly." Zheng Sanlang grinned.

Zheng Sanlang carried a huge Mo Dao on his back. Although he was expelled from the Mo Dao Camp, Zheng Sanlang liked to wield the Mo Dao. This heavy and long thing is very suitable for a strong man like him. Waving it is like sweeping an army.

In the distance, thousands of enemy cavalry had finished forming while walking. Amidst the loud shouts of the enemy general, the cavalry suddenly accelerated their speed, and began to charge with all their strength after two miles away.

There are about [-] soldiers and horses, and Li Qinzai estimates that they are the vanguard of the enemy army.

The charge of 3000 people is amazing, giving people a sense of fear that crushes everything. Under such an army charge, no one can resist their fierce blow.

After charging with all their strength, they were getting closer and closer to Tang Jun in an instant.

The expressions of the soldiers became more solemn, and the three-eyed guns in their hands were gripped even tighter.

Liu Renyuan gulped his saliva with difficulty, his expression gradually became ferocious, and he shouted loudly: "Aim at the front, and the Chinese army is ready!"

Although the soldiers were nervous, they still carried out methodically, calmly and quickly stood where they were supposed to stand, and quietly waited for the moment when the two armies collided fiercely.

Li Qinzai stared at the enemy's distance, from [-] paces, to [-] paces, to the last [-] paces...

boom!
The earth shakes, the sky and the earth change color.

The enemy's vanguard's horse finally stepped on a landmine planted two hundred paces away.

And because the formation of the enemy's charge was too dense, the best effect of killing the enemy was achieved after the mine exploded, and the explosion radius of two feet was almost no waste.

Countless enemy troops were caught off guard and were blown to pieces. The rain of blood, accompanied by all kinds of stumps and broken arms, fell on the living enemy soldiers.

The enemy soldiers reined in their horses in horror, turning around like a group of headless flies. In panic, someone stepped on a landmine again, and there was another loud noise.

In that instant, the forwards of the [-] enemy troops were almost cut in half, and at this time, they hadn't even confronted Tang Jun head-on.

A fear of the unknown quickly spread among the enemy troops.

From generals to ordinary soldiers, no one knows why the brothers were suddenly blown to pieces for no reason, no one knows what exploded, and what they are even more afraid of is, what is hidden in the distance of two hundred steps ahead? How many things are about to explode.

It was simply a fetish, like the punishment from the gods. When they were about to disperse the Tang army, the punishment came and there was no escape.

When human beings face the unknown, the first thought is fear, and then they will gradually overcome the fear to understand the unknown.

After a series of explosions, the enemy general not only feared himself, but also found that the morale of the soldiers under his command had been disturbed, and only half of the number remained. Under such circumstances, it was undoubtedly very irrational to continue charging.

Surprised and fearful, he looked at the formation of the Tang army two hundred paces away. The general swung his whip fiercely, shouted a few words, then turned his horse's head and led his soldiers to retreat.

Seeing the enemy's retreat, the generals of the Tang army did not cheer for victory. They knew very well that the victory was still very early, and the enemy army in front of them was just a forward.

The real fierce battle came after the main force of the enemy army arrived, and at that time, the mines were almost detonated, and the Tang army soldiers had to fight the enemy army face to face.

Many robes will die, and they must be nailed to this land like nails, unable to retreat half a step.

…………

Humiliate the city.

Xue Na, Mo Enjun and a few of his men were walking leisurely through the market in the city, leading a few horses.

The horse was bought by Xue Ne on the way, and he was lucky to meet a caravan that was not afraid of death.There are still merchants who are willing to take risks to travel between cities with a full load of goods, buying cheap and selling expensive.

The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.

Businessmen are well aware of this truth. Under the temptation of huge interests, what is the safety of life?It is a lifelong regret to miss a great opportunity to make money.

As for Xue Na, he was worried that he would not be able to get into Hunyi City, and when he encountered this caravan on the way, he immediately had an inspiration.

Mr. Xue, who made a lot of money in Japan and Baekje, is naturally rich and powerful. With a wave of his hand, he bought all the horses and horses in this caravan.

It's just so arrogant, if you don't agree, you will increase the price, until you agree, will anyone have trouble with the money?
