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

Chapter 85 Lion versus Rabbit
In the distance, almost everyone on the Turkic position was stunned by the four rounds of volleys from the Tang army.

All the Turks stared with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open, as if they could not believe what was happening in the distance.

There are also countless exclamation marks and question marks in their hearts.

what happened?
What weapons did the Tang army use?
Why did their Turkic cavalry fall under the horses' hooves before they even reached them?

Are they using some witchcraft?
Ashina Helu was so shocked that he was speechless.

He had never seen such a weapon, nor had he ever seen such a fighting method!
A team of 1,000 elite Turkic soldiers, twice as strong as the enemy.

In his opinion, capturing these hundreds of Tang soldiers would be a piece of cake!
How could we lose like this!

Moreover, the defeat was so tragic...

On the Tang army's position, Chai Shao, Huang Junhan and another 20,000 Tang soldiers were equally dumbfounded.

This……

Are these people really the Tang army, or heavenly soldiers and generals who suddenly appeared?

Why have the things they use never been seen by even the Tang army themselves?
Why is this thing so loud and it killed more than half of the Turks from such a distance!
Chai Shao looked at the Tang army in the distance and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

However, he finally understood why this army of several hundred people left behind hundreds of Turkic corpses in front of Liangzhou and brought thousands of Turkic wolf riders' heads here.

The Sixth Prince...

He is so terrifying!
On the opposite side, on the Turkic position, Ashina Gudun quickly ran back with the remaining 400 Turkic remnants.

When Ashina Gudun arrived in front of the Khan's carriage, he rolled off his horse and knelt down in front of Ashina Helu, crying:
"Great Khan, the Tang army... I don't know what kind of magic they used to kill our people from a distance!"

"When I saw that the situation was not right, I quickly retreated, but more than half of the Turkic wolf riders were killed..."

"Please punish me, Khan!"

Ashina Helu then closed his surprised mouth, his face was gloomy but there was still shock in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head.

Punishment is not necessary for the time being.

Such a Tang army would have ended in a disastrous defeat even if he led the team himself.

Their weapons were so terrifying and mysterious that the Turks had never seen them before.

Fortunately, there were only a few hundred people on the other side.

The problem now is that we must find a way to first take down this Tang army of 500 people, and then find a way to kill Chai Shao's troops on the opposite side.

Otherwise, the Turks would really be defeated!
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:
"Hulun, you take 5,000 men to attack this Tang army from the front. You must destroy them at all costs!"

"Su Huer, take a 5,000-man troop and go back far behind to outflank the Tang army from behind!

This time, he mobilized 10,000 people!

Twenty times the military strength of Li An!

He must quickly eliminate this army, otherwise the Turks will inevitably be on the passive side in this battle.

The best way is to eat them up in one fell swoop like a lion attacking a rabbit, and then unite with other Turkic forces to break through Chai Shao's position in one go.

The two Turkic generals immediately took orders and led two teams to prepare for the attack.

In the distance, on the Tang army’s position, Li An took out an exquisite iron tube from his body.

This is exactly the telescope he made!
This telescope is made of a convex lens and an iron tube. Although it is very simple, it is the world's first telescope and is capable of seeing clearly at distances of several miles.

This is also an innovation that Li An has brought to the world!
Seeing the troop movements on the Turkic position and the dust rising behind the position, he immediately understood the Turks' movements.

"Send a message to Duke Qiao!"

He gave the order to the scout behind him:

"Let his cavalry go out immediately to meet this Turkic raider who is attacking our rear!"

"Yes!"

The scout immediately jumped on his horse and rushed towards the Tang army's position. At this time, the 5,000 cavalrymen in front of the Turks had already walked out of the position and were slowly walking towards Li An's Hussar Guard Shenji Camp.

They started out just jogging, adjusting their formations and preparing their weapons for battle as they ran.

This time, all the Turks switched to heavy arrows.

Among the arrows of the Turks, the arrowheads of light arrows were made of wolf teeth or animal bones. Such arrows were lighter, more convenient for riding and shooting, and had a longer shooting distance.

Heavy arrows are made of metal. Such arrows are heavier and not suitable for throwing, but they have strong attack power when shot at close range and can even pierce armor!
At this time, Chai Shao and his men also saw the movement of the Turks on the battlefield.

Huang Junhan quickly said:

"Duke, the Turks have mobilized a large number of troops this time. I'm afraid the Sixth Prince and his men won't be able to resist them. Should we go to rescue them?"

Chai Shao hesitated for a moment.
If we rashly send out cavalry to block the Turks head-on at this time, it will likely attract more Turkish wolf riders, and we will be surrounded.

But if they don't rescue Li An, can their five hundred people really resist the thousands of enemy cavalry?

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a scout running towards him from Li An's side.

The scout did not dismount and shouted:
"Duke Qiao, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince has ordered you to send out a cavalry to attack the Turkic cavalry that is making a detour from the rear!"

The Turkic cavalry making a detour from the rear?
Chai Shao couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that the Turks had also mobilized a cavalry from the rear, which encircled the Sixth Prince and his men from a distance.

Why didn’t I see it, but the Sixth Prince did!

Could he be a god?

However, since the Sixth Prince said that there were Turkic Wolf Cavalry outflanking them from behind, then it must have happened.

Chai Shao immediately gave an order:
"General Huang!"

Huang Junhan responded immediately:

"The humble position is here!"

"Immediately take the 6,000 cavalrymen and support His Highness the Sixth Prince from the rear. Try to wipe out the Turkic cavalry in one fell swoop. Don't linger in the battle. After defeating them, immediately go to the front to support His Highness!"

"Yes!"

Huang Junhan agreed and immediately led the 6,000 Tang cavalry to bypass the rear of the position.

To counter detour with detour,

Cavalry against cavalry!

This is Li An’s strategy.

However, the biggest problem now is still the 5,000-strong Turkic cavalry in front.

Li An's face turned cold as he looked at the large group of cavalry slowly running towards him from the front.

At this time, it was impossible for him to move Chai Shao's infantry position.

Once they moved, the infantry would leave their stable positions and face the fate of being surrounded and strangled by the Turkic cavalry.

In this era, infantry has no chance of winning against cavalry!

Therefore, he planned to use this 500-man Hussar Guard Shenji Battalion to withstand the attack of the enemy's 5,000 men head-on.

It depends on whether you can bear it!
Thinking of this, he put down the telescope in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Get on the iron shield!"

The soldier at the front picked up the iron shield lying on the grass beside him and placed it in front of him.

This kind of iron shield is about 1.5 meters high. When placed in front of a soldier, it can cover most of their body, leaving only the area above the chest exposed.

More than a hundred iron shields were lined up in rows in front of the position, like an iron city!
