Great Tang princess

"I want to fight with my aunt..." Li Longji raised his hand and said loudly.

When he said this, Li Chengqi and Li Chengyi also expressed their desire to be together. The other children did not have a specific concept of war and did not have much fear. Instead, they expressed the same idea together.

Li Yuechen smiled slightly: "It's good to have this kind of heart, but you are still too young to go to the battlefield..."

Seeing the displeased faces of the children, she continued, "And I won't go to the battlefield this time, so I'll stay with you here."

Hearing these words, the children's expressions of displeasure eased a lot.

The guards on the side had already come over on horseback, Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Okay, everyone get on their horses! Prevent accidental injury!"

The children stretched out their hands one after another, letting the guards pull them onto the horses and sit in front of the guards.

"I want to sit with my aunt." Li Longji said.

"No, I want to support at any time." Li Yuechen shook his head and told him to get on his horse quickly.

Although it is said that Liu Huang has completely given the command right this time, it is still unknown whether he can command a war well. In case of any accident, Li Yuechen can go to the rescue in time to prevent too many casualties among the soldiers.

Soldiers are not machines, but living people. Even if one person dies, it will be a huge loss.

Even if it is said that soldiers should experience the baptism of war and blood, it must be done while reducing the battle loss ratio as much as possible.

After a while, Wang Wuqiong also chased after her. She was carrying Li Yuechen's Fang Tian Painting Halberd, she was a little out of breath, and her shoulders were aching.

This halberd weighed nearly forty catties, and a normal person would feel uncomfortable with a galloping horse on his shoulders.

"Your Highness..."

"Well, it's hard work, give it to me. You take this!"

Li Yuechen smiled, took Fang Tian's painting halberd, and handed the Mo knife in his hand to Wang Wuqiong.

As Wang Xiaojie's daughter, she is very familiar with most of the cold weapons that are popular on the battlefield today. Although she has mainly practiced big guns since she was a child, she can also use Mo Dao.

Not long after, the soldiers of the second battalion and the third battalion also appeared in sight. They were fully armed and ran towards this side.

In the case of no one shouting slogans, the relatively complete formation can still be guaranteed, and the speed is not slow at all.

"boom--"

At this moment, explosions sounded one after another outside the pass. Li Yuechen turned his head and saw that the soldiers guarding the pass also shot out the arrows in their hands.

They did not adopt a projectile posture, but fired flat, which shows that the enemy should have reached a very close place.

The next moment, the soldiers at the pass retreated in an organized manner, accompanied by a messy sound, followed by the painful neighing of the war horses.

Li Yuechen felt that if he guessed correctly, it should be the sad cry of the horse on the verge of death after it bumped into the rejecting horse.

The next moment, I saw a few people in foreign costumes rushing into the gate first brandishing poorly crafted wooden shields and some rusty scimitars.

Presumably they used their horses to break through the pass, and then rushed in.

But judging from their expressions, it seemed that they were surprised by the explosion behind them. After rushing in, they didn't attack the soldiers guarding the pass for the first time, but turned to look at the explosion behind them.

It is very dangerous to divert attention on the battlefield. The soldiers who had just retreated immediately opened their bows and arrows, and directly shot the foreigners who rushed in.

At this time, the second battalion and the third battalion had arrived at the designated position. They set up their shields, and the soldiers in the second row stretched out their spears through the gap between the shields.

These long spears are also improved products. The spear head has two protruding ears to prevent it from piercing too deep into the human body and is difficult to pull out. At the same time, serrations are added to the side.

If you use this thing to stab someone, you can chop up the internal organs with a single thrust into the body.

But the number of such spears is not particularly large, because this thing is not mainly used to deal with people, but to prevent cavalry from charging.

Simply put, it is the anti-material weapon of our age.

According to the usual training, the soldiers set up shields within a minute, not only in front, but also on their heads, preventing the opponent from using bows and arrows to attack by projectiles.

From this flowing process, it can be seen that the training results of these soldiers this year are still acceptable.

Behind the phalanx, Liu Huang sat down in the frontline headquarters that had been built, and quickly discussed the response with several other staff officers.

After a while, the sound of drums was heard again. If you looked carefully, you could see several soldiers behind the phalanx holding a conspicuous red chess piece in each hand, shaking it constantly.

The special reconnaissance battalion that has already gone up the mountain is equipped with binoculars. Of course, they can see the semaphore command and reply immediately with the semaphore.

Not long after, the chaotic sound of horseshoes sounded again, and in the next moment, many foreign cavalry could be seen rushing in along the pass.

Of course, this was not Liu Huang's command error. Li Yuechen saw the semaphore just now, and it was obviously intentional.

They are all here, it is impossible to give up the attack because of the explosions just now, otherwise the trip will be full of people, and the cost will not be recovered at all.

So they saw that there were no other explosions, and they ventured again to attack.

And Liu Huang just wanted to put in a part of it to make them think they had the strength to fight, and then threw a few rounds of grenades when a large number of people rushed into the pass.

This stuff, the more crowded it is when it explodes, the more damage it will cause.

Maybe too dense will affect the lethality of the fragments, but the grenade is not killed by fragments alone. The shock wave generated when it explodes alone can already make people faint.

Even if the distance is close enough, the viscera will bleed from the shock and die on the spot.

However, despite this, the IQ of the foreigners is not that low. After rushing in from the pass, seeing the neat shield formation and the soldiers in uniform uniforms, they have already begun to feel regretful.

There is no need to fight, just from the highly uniform clothing and weapons, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of such an army will definitely not be bad.

Many foreigners turned their heads and yelled something outside the pass, but at this moment, the rumbling of horseshoes was loud, how could the people behind hear it?Still rushing forward.

The charging speed of the horses was still very fast. It didn't take long for thousands of people to rush in, like a torrent, constantly emerging from the pass.

Many cavalrymen had no time to turn around after entering, and were bumped into the shining spear points by their companions behind them...

Liu Huang at the back put down the binoculars, raised his hand and said, "Bomb!"

As the flags in the hands of the soldiers behind him kept swinging, there were explosions again and again at the pass, which were also mixed with the screams of humans and the neighing of war horses.

The foreigner who managed to cross the pass subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw the body of the companion behind him being torn apart in the sound of explosions, or multiple blood holes appeared on his body instantly...

Others were bleeding from the seven orifices at the moment of the explosion, and fell straight from the horse's back...

The foreigners who didn't know what happened were shocked and fell into a panic for a while.

It's not just people panicking, these war horses who have never heard the sound of explosions also become panicked, and no matter how they try to appease them, they appear extremely irritable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers maintaining their formation began to press forward slowly, gradually shrinking the cavalry's range of activities.

Originally, this place wasn't very big, but now the infantry started to move with their shields on their backs, compressing their range, and these foreign soldiers panicked instantly.

They came to rob, but they just met now. There has been a big explosion on their side, but no one on the other side has been killed yet.

In addition, at this time, the war horses under the crotch were extremely flustered and could not be controlled at all. In desperation, many foreigners could only jump off the horses, and then rushed towards the infantry war with their scimitars raised in groups.

After all, the sound of explosions from behind was still ringing from time to time, and they didn't dare to retreat at all.

Facing these foreigners rushing over, they looked vicious, but these soldiers did not panic. Instead, according to the training instruction, they turned their guns and stabbed them through the gap in the shield.

Most of these people didn't even touch the shields, they were stabbed in the body one after another, and they fell to the ground unwillingly.

And there were a few seemingly lucky ones who were not stabbed by the spear and ran to the front of the shield formation.

However, the next moment, the shield array opened a hole, like a monster's bloody mouth, directly swallowing these people, and then the shields merged again.

These people didn't seem to expect that the shield formation would suddenly open, and rushed in non-stop, but the next moment they saw a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms raising their axes...

The few foreigners who rushed into the shield array didn't even have time to swing the scimitars in their hands, but were chopped down to the ground with black axes by the surrounding soldiers, without even a scream...

……

The explosion of the grenade lasted for several minutes before it ended. There was no living creature in the middle of the pass, and the ground was covered with corpses of people and horses.

A large amount of blood left along the snow with visible heat, and even formed several streams, completely dyeing the surrounding ground a bright red.

The red blood carried the high temperature of the human body, quickly melting the surrounding snow, flowing on the ground, and forming different patterns before thoroughly seeping into the ground.

After being blown up by the grenade, the inside and outside of the pass were completely cut off, and the foreigners who had already entered lost their backup. At this time, the horses were frightened by the explosion, and there was no formation at all, and they had already become a mob.

Liu Huang immediately issued an order, the drums sounded rapidly, and the formation of the infantry gradually expanded, gradually expanding from both sides of the flanks, completely surrounding these people.

At the same time, the soldiers on the top of the mountain also began to convey the semaphore. Li Yuechen squinted his eyes to recognize it, and the people outside actually started to retreat.

It's normal to think about it, gunpowder has not completely risen in this world, these people face this kind of incomprehensible thing, retreat is the best choice at present.

Although only a quarter of an hour had passed since the start of the battle, the defeat was already settled. Naturally, there was no need to continue to use human lives to test the cause of the explosion.

I believe they are also looking for problems on the top of the mountain, but the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion are all wearing camouflage uniforms, and the mountain is densely covered with vegetation, so it is absolutely impossible to see it from a distance.

What's more, with their concealment methods, even standing at the foot of the mountain may not be able to see the people on the top of the mountain.

But this side has observed them clearly, their formation and every step of the situation are very clear, there is no need to continue fighting this battle.

……

While the formation was fully deployed, the engineering troops finally pulled all the artillery over, and opened up the formation on the rear position.

After a period of training, the professional artillerymen in the engineering unit have learned how to shoot anti-aircraft guns. They know how much to raise the muzzle so that they can cross their own camp and hit the crowd on the opposite side.

The artillery has been made for several years, and it has infinitely approached the form of a field gun. It can be adjusted for downward shooting, flat shooting and anti-aircraft shooting very easily.

And the moving device on the gun mount can be changed at any time. Usually, it is a round tire. In some special cases, it can be directly replaced with a track, which greatly increases its adaptability.

Liu Huang estimated the time. Fortunately, at least it was similar to the usual training, but if there is no accident at this time, they should not be needed.

According to the semaphore played by the reconnaissance battalion on the mountain, the opponent's main force has gradually retreated. Although it is not known whether a second attack will be launched, Liu Huang thinks the chance is not high.

These nomads have only one reason to go out to fight, and that is that they have no food to eat and want to go out to rob.

Therefore, their logistics must be insufficient, which means that they cannot fight a long-term exhausting battle, and it is absolutely impossible to spend too long here.

Either surrender and get out, or re-attack in a few days.

But considering the deterrent effect of the grenade, Liu Huang thinks that they should not dare to continue to attack. At that time, they only need to ask the reconnaissance battalion to go out and follow up.

He issued an order: "Order! Those who surrender will not be killed! But if there is resistance, shoot and kill!"

"Yes!" The soldier next to him agreed.

Soon, the snare drum changed its rhythm and sounded again.

Although these nomads are foreigners, as nomads, there are still many languages ​​that can be understood.

Now more than half of the soldiers on the border are not Han Chinese. Naturally, there are some who can understand their language, and they immediately shouted, telling them to put down their weapons and surrender.

As the formation gradually approached, their place became smaller and smaller, and there was no chance for the horses to charge.

Hearing the shouts, except for some who continued to resist, many people had already thrown away their weapons to express their surrender.

The formation was temporarily opened, and many soldiers behind the shields raised their bows and crossbows, aimed at those diehards who hadn't surrendered through the gap, and pulled the triggers one after another.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Dozens of crossbow arrows pierced the air, taking away some diehards who refused to surrender.

The rest of the people were taken aback when they saw this scene, especially after seeing the people around them being shot in the neck, their hearts exploded with fear, and they subconsciously threw away the weapons in their hands.
