If I let you stay in Lingnan, how could you become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Chapter 78 Three-stage attack, crushing victory from the Tang Dynasty

Following Feng Lang's loud shout, the soldiers in the first row of the Shenji Battalion raised their muskets at the same time.

When the Turks on the opposite side saw this scene, they all showed expressions of confusion in their eyes.

What the hell is Tangren doing?

The soldiers stood in a long snake formation, and when they saw the Turkic wolf cavalry charging towards them, instead of using their spears to resist the cavalry, they raised the black iron pipes less than three feet long in their hands towards them?

What are the iron pipes in their hands?
This thing is so short, can it kill people?
Or……

Are these Tang people ready to give up resistance?
The deputy general who was rushing in the front saw this and suddenly laughed grimly and shouted:
"Wolf Riders, the Tang people have given up resistance. They are nothing more than a group of lambs for us to slaughter. Kill them!"

"Kill!"

When the Turkic cavalry heard the deputy general's shout, they suddenly became excited again.

They stared with their eyes wide open, raised their sabers high, sped up their mounts, and rushed towards the Tang soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two armies was less than a hundred meters!
"preparation……"

Feng Lang stretched out his voice, his eyes fixed on the enemy cavalry.

When the Turkish cavalry in front of him had entered the range of 100 meters, he suddenly swung his arm and made a downward chopping motion, while speaking in a thunderous voice:
"put!"

A spring thunder sounds, and thousands of golden lights appear!

In an instant, more than a hundred muskets in front shot out fire snakes almost at the same time.

Boom boom boom...

The deafening roar, like thunder that suddenly exploded the frozen earth, resounded throughout the sky!
More than a hundred steel ball lead bullets burst out from the barrel of the musket at the same time, tearing through the air to reach the enemy soldiers in an instant, and then tearing open the enemy's leather armor in an extremely brutal manner and penetrating into their chests!

moment,

The Turkic soldiers who were hit by waves were like encountering an indestructible reef, and they fell down in large numbers.

Ashina Hawke behind him couldn't help but be stunned.

The deafening volley of gunfire completely stunned him.

The sight of the Turkic wolf riders falling off their horses one after another frightened him to the extreme.

What's happening here?
What kind of magic did the Tang people use!
Why can the iron pipes in their hands make thunderous explosions?

After a burst of explosions, although their own Turkic wolf cavalry were dozens of meters away from them, they broke into pieces like rice grains blown by the wind.

However, even if he figured it out now, it was too late.

Most of the Turkic cavalry had already entered the range of less than 100 meters, and even Ashina Hawk himself was unable to stop his galloping horse quickly.

But at this time, the first row of Tang soldiers had quickly squatted down, cleaning the gun barrels, loading gunpowder, and putting in bullets in an orderly manner.

The soldiers in the second row had already pointed their guns at them.

"put!"

Feng Lang shouted angrily again.

The soldiers in the second row pulled the trigger almost at the same time.

Boom boom boom...

There was another burst of lightning and thunder!
The Turkic wolf riders fell down again in an instant. This time, even Ashina Hawke's deputy general was hit by bullets and fell off his horse's back on his back. He fell heavily to the ground and was trampled by the hooves of the cavalry behind him.

The horses that had lost their riders did not dare to charge forward anymore. They bypassed the guns of the Tang soldiers and ran to both sides.

But after two rounds of volleys, thousands of Turkic wolf riders had been killed and more than two hundred were injured.

Although the accuracy of the muskets was not very high, the intensive charge of the Turks actually increased the accuracy, so that the two rows of soldiers almost hit their targets with every bullet.

Ashina Hawke was also completely frightened.

He didn't know what weapons the Tang soldiers were using, and he didn't dare to charge forward.

"withdraw!"

"Go back quickly!"

Ashina Hawk quickly reined in his horse, turned around and ran back, while shouting loudly to the remaining hundreds of Turkic soldiers to turn around quickly.

The Turks charging from behind and the cavalry charging from the front suddenly crowded together, and many ownerless horses also joined in the fun, screaming and running around. The scene was in chaos!
But at this moment, the guns of the third row of Tang soldiers also opened fire.

No matter how fast the Turks are, they can never be faster than a bullet.

Boom boom boom...

There was another burst of intense gunfire.

A large number of Turkic soldiers who were just about to turn around fell down in an instant.

The crowded Turks increased the chances of being shot by muskets.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were killed or injured!

The soldiers in the first row of the Shenji Battalion had already finished loading their ammunition and stood up.

"shoot!"

Feng Lang shouted again.

Before the shout was over, a burst of gunfire rang out.

After four rounds of gunfire, nearly half of the Turkic Wolf Riders had been killed or wounded.

The thousands of soldiers and horses that had rushed forward with great momentum were now reduced to corpses. Many people, although not killed by the Tang people's bullets, were trampled to death by the horses of their own comrades.

The wailing sounds, the neighing of war horses, and the shouts of generals suddenly filled the air.

But the Tang people did not give them any chance to escape quickly.

After the first and second row of soldiers finished firing, they quickly squatted down and methodically cleaned the remaining gunpowder residue in the barrel, then loaded gunpowder and bullets.

They used disposable encapsulated gunpowder bags.

This packaged gunpowder bag is made of kraft paper, which is waterproof and moisture-proof, and one bag contains enough gunpowder for one loading, so there is no need to waste time at all.

Just as they were loading their gunpowder, the muskets of the third row of soldiers fired again.

Boom boom boom...

This time, the number of Turks who fell was the least, with only dozens of soldiers falling from horseback.

The remaining 400 people or so were completely frightened. They shouted at their mounts and fled away in a hurry, fearing that if they ran slower they would also be left here by the Tang people's terrible weapons.

Seeing this, Li An stopped the soldiers' volley.

The Turks have already left the effective range of the bullets, so if we continue to shoot, the accuracy will be greatly reduced, which is a sheer waste of bullets.

Xue Rengui looked at Feng Lang and Li An with a questioning look in his eyes.

At this time, is it better to use the remaining courage to pursue the enemy or to clean up the battlefield?
Li An thought for a moment and said:
"Send out scouts to find out where their camp is!"

"Everyone else, clean up the battlefield. Kill all the surviving Turks. Don't leave any behind!"

"Yes!"

Feng Lang responded with a loud voice and immediately sent out several scouts to follow the fleeing Turks from a distance.

Xue Rengui immediately led his hundred-man team to clean up the battlefield.

Seeing a wounded Turkic cavalryman still crawling on the ground, Xue Rengui went up and shot him.

boom!
The Turkic cavalry's head instantly exploded like half of a ripe watermelon.

Xue Rengui suddenly felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.

As a centurion, he didn't fire his gun much just now, and this kind of long-range shooting battle could not be compared with the exhilarating hand-to-hand combat, which made him feel a little unhappy.

After firing the shot, he felt much better.

"Asshole!"

Li An's cursing could be heard from a distance.

Xue Rengui turned his head and saw Li An walking towards him with a cold face.
