Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 653
Timur's cavalry is a special grenadier cavalry.

Timur received the true biography of Cao Lingzhong, the Protector of the Northern Court. Some time ago, his main job was to work in the staff department, translating Cao Lingzhong's military training experience into a systematic cavalry training manual.

Cao Lingzhong is a veteran of the Tang Dynasty, so his training methods are naturally very good. After Timur's summary, combined with the training methods of modern cavalry, he formulated the training rules for Longyou cavalry.

But Cao Lingzhong's cavalry tactics are not suitable for an army composed of pure players.

After all, cavalry combat is quite cold and boring, and a mature cavalry requires a lot of skills. Most players are just willing to spend some time training cavalry, such as [riding shooting], [pole weapon combat], etc. A class of skills that most players find too boring.

While Timur was formulating the Longyou cavalry training manual, he was also thinking about how to form a powerful player cavalry.

Although Longyou already had firearms, cavalry, a special unit, had always been active on the battlefield because of its mobility before the emergence of motorized vehicles such as motorcycles and automobiles.

Even in the early days of World War I, cavalry was still the main force of all countries.

On the East Asian battlefield, the last large-scale cavalry duel was the Russo-Japanese War that took place on our national territory.

In this humiliating war, the famous cavalry general of the Japanese Kingdom traveled long distances and defeated the Far East cavalry of Tsarist Russia, finally establishing the direction of the war on land.

This time, Mangcha Jilang also realized that something was wrong. Just now there were two explosions, and almost all the soldiers in the front row of him fell down.

Mangcha Jilang held back Timur's grenadier cavalry with his archers, and finally gave the infantry a chance to escape.

Mangcha Jilang gave the order to retreat. Although this Tang army was terrifying, there was a big army behind him, and these Tang people did not dare to pursue it.

So the player's cavalry is still equally important, and Timur's final result is this 1000-man grenadier cavalry.

The over-concentrated infantry formation also maximizes the effect of grenades.

The explosion was so fast that the soldiers in the rear didn't know what happened, and they stepped into a bloody hell under the inertia of their bodies.

The battle went so smoothly this time, it was because the Tubo people had never seen firearms.

On the side of the saddle of the cavalry, there is a leather bag with four grenades on the left and right.

Looking at the corpses of their companions and the blood on the crops, mixed with the pungent smell of the exploding grenade, the bravest "Gui" under Shang Jie's command spit it out one after another.

On the other hand, out of the need for governance, the top leaders of Tubo did not want the soldiers at the bottom to know about firearms.

According to players, the grenadier cavalry's tactics are typical "hit and run".

But the Tubo archers still caused trouble for the grenadier cavalry. Timur finally knew why the grenadier cavalry was only a flash in the pan under Napoleon's command.

Originally, Timur ran not far away, but the grenade exploded on the heads of the soldiers in the front row again, and another group of soldiers fell down.

In the end, less than 7000 people escaped from this full-stacked Wanqi, leaving burnt crops and corpses all over the battlefield.

Su Tong couldn't figure it out, and Mangcha Jilang was even more confused.

The unknown is the most fearful thing. In fact, the high-ranking Tubo officials, including Shang Jiezan, also knew about the firearms in the hands of the Longyou Tang Army from the remnant soldiers who fled from Shang Qixin'er.

Now the Tubo people simply dropped their horses and weapons and ran back.

With a thousand cavalry, chasing Tubo Wanqi and running, and killing and injuring 3000 Tubo people, this record is remarkable even among the famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty.

At first the Tibetans were planning to escape on horseback, but Timur gave the order to "throw grenades freely", and the grenadier cavalry began to choose their own targets, specifically looking for places where Tubo soldiers were concentrated to throw grenades.

Mangcha Jilang also saw the damage caused by the terrible black mist, and his first order was to let the soldiers disperse.

Coupled with the influence of religion, the top officials in Tubo are afraid that this kind of "God's punishment" weapon will make Tubo people doubt themselves, and all news about firearms is strictly blocked.

More importantly, this great victory greatly encouraged the Jincheng defenders, and according to Timur, their cavalry only ran a little faster, and the vanguard of King Yue would soon reach Jincheng.

Could it be that these Tang people really know how to demonize?
But before Mangcha Jilang could continue to be in a daze, Timur turned around and rushed over again!

The [-] cavalry around Timur scattered widely, and Mangchajilang formed a tight formation in order to meet the cavalry.

"Re-bomb!"

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, Mangcha Jilang saw all the soldiers in his front row fell to the ground, and the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke mixed into a disgusting smell of hell, wafting above the battlefield.

And Timur opened the distance, and rushed towards the Tubo army again.

The soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were also covered in shrapnel, lying on the ground and howling in pain.

Mangcha Jilang once heard a crazy slave in his manor talk about Tang Jun's weapon, which was like punishment from heaven.

This style of play is deeply loved by players. These more than 1000 generals and players voluntarily gathered around Timur for training.

In the end what happened?
Was the loud noise just now made by the cavalry?Do they know magic?
Su Tong thought of the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen sect who were preaching in Lanzhou recently. Could it be that the legendary Lei Fa is real?

The battle is not over until the sun rises.

Tubo's bow and arrow are crooked, even if they hit the player, they cannot penetrate the player's armor.

"Archers, hold back the opponent, and the rest of the troops will retreat!"

"Spread out, disperse!"

Those Tibetans who brought news of firearms were all reduced to slaves and lived in the shacks like pigs and dogs.

Su Tong took Timur's hand and said tremblingly, "The general is brave!"

Grenadier cavalry, as the name suggests, are cavalry who throw grenades.

All the cavalry lost all their grenades, and when Timur drove the captives back to Jincheng, the whole Jincheng was boiling.

Timur rode his horse on the battlefield to search for the remaining trophies. Those Tubo soldiers who were slightly injured were tied with ropes and tied behind the horses, ready to be sent to Jincheng to repair the city wall.

"Archers! Archers!"

Charge close to the enemy, then slow down and turn, and throw the grenade when closest to the enemy.

But on the one hand, the high-ranking officials in Tubo were skeptical about weapons like Longyou, thinking that these defeated soldiers had shirked the responsibility to the firearms.

Mangcha Jilang quickly ordered, and the archers in the back row hurriedly pulled up their bows and arrows, facing the grenadiers who were about to charge.

Now the Tubo people turned around and ran away!
Su Wuwei was as surprised as his father. There was a funny scene on the battlefield. The Hexi knights, who were clearly fewer in number, chased after Tubo's Wanqi like an eagle catching chickens.

Jincheng held a grand welcome ceremony for Timur, while Mangcha Jilang, who fled back in embarrassment, was stripped of his armor and knelt in front of Shang Jiezan.

The Tubo people don't have a good look at the slaves of the same race. It is a shame to lose the war, and the slaves who are defeated are even more useless.

Su Tong on the city wall saw an astonishing scene. After the Hexi cavalry with only 1000 people rammed into the 1 Tubo cavalry, the Hexi cavalry charged three times against the Tubo cavalry, and the [-]-man cavalry collapsed. !

It has to be said that this Tubo army is indeed elite. Ordinary troops have already collapsed in such a situation, but they can still maintain their formation under such circumstances, and the order of Manchajilang has also been conveyed.

At this time, he didn't care about other things, this Wanqi was Da Lun's most beloved unit, if he lost too much, he would definitely be punished severely.

After throwing the bomb successfully for the first time, Timur led the cavalry to distance himself, and then turned around and rushed towards the Tubo position.

Battle exploits are naturally counted by the system, and players don't need to cut off their ears and heads to calculate their gains.

The only advantage of grenadier cavalry, a transitional unit before the popularity of firearms, is that grenades are more powerful.

Su Tong on the city wall didn't see clearly what happened on the battlefield. He just heard a loud noise resounding through the sky and the earth, and then saw the Tubo army fall.

At this time, Timur was ready for the third round of throwing bombs, and the Tubo soldiers in the front row also realized that as long as they were covered by the terrible black smoke, they would basically die, and those outside the range of the black smoke would be seriously injured .

Then take advantage of the mobility of the cavalry to distance themselves from the enemy and then charge and drop bombs again.

Then there was a violent explosion, and the explosion of gunpowder caused a death storm of metal shrapnel.

The grenades flew out in a parabola, and under the puzzled eyes of the Tubo soldiers, they flew over the heads of the Tubo infantry phalanx.

"You mean that Tang Jun held God's punishment and defeated your Wanqi?"

Mangcha Jilang knelt on the ground, his tongue had been pulled out by the accompanying Bon priests, so he could only tremble and cry, begging for mercy.

But Shang Jiezan did not intend to take it lightly. He said to the surrounding generals: "It is a disgrace to recklessly investigate the defeat of Jilang, and you should be punished by cutting out your heart by making up the theory of divine punishment to disturb the morale of the army."

After finishing speaking, the guards of course pulled Mangcha Jilang out, Shang Jiezan looked at the generals in the account and said: "The whole army has a day of rest, please ask Buddhist masters and Bon religion priests to pray for the army again."
