Chapter 23 First Appearance, Tang Dynasty Crossbow!

"You underestimate him."

Seeing Li Taiyi's face smiling at him, Huoshu Songren could not help but flash a stern look in his eyes.

Hidden and hidden!

Huoshu Songren always thought that Li Taiyi was just a slightly smart prince. Judging from the previous performance of the team that encircled and suppressed the Uzbek bandits, he was at most a prince with military capabilities. But now, after Li Taiyi spoke out to give instructions to the Tang Dynasty raider After becoming a general, his impression of Li Taiyi changed.

——This is a man with strong general ability and a threat to Wu Zang.

If a casual word could help the general get out of the losing situation, the generals of the Tang Dynasty would have spoken long ago, so why wait for his guidance?

At this moment, Ulm returned to the Uzang array dejectedly, looking extremely embarrassed.

He didn't dare to look at Huoshu Songren now, because his loss had greatly affected Uzang's morale.

Ulm lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly, preparing to face the thunderous wrath of the fire tree and pine nuts, when a majestic voice came into his ears:

"Go on, it won't happen again."

Ulm was startled, and suddenly raised his head, what he saw was the majestic back of Huoshu Songren walking towards the back of the Uzang array.

At that moment, Ulm's eyes became more determined and he said loyally:

"Yes! The general will definitely find a way to defeat Datang!"

After saying that, Ulm rode back to the front of Uzang's army with a stern look on his face, tensing his muscles, ready to attack at any time.

Failure in a battle before the battle is nothing!

The real highlight is yet to come.

"General Guo, the two armies are fighting, and each has his own master! I will not hold back in today's battle!"

The voice of Huoshu Songren came from the front, and the voice gradually became cold.

On the opposite side, the vast sea-like Uszang army also waved its flags and attacked fiercely.

On the other side, from the Tang Dynasty, he looked at the generals around him and nodded slightly.

"Get ready!"

It’s useless to talk too much,

See for yourself on the battlefield!

"The real battle is about to begin!"

Li Taiyi glanced at the Uzang army who was starting to form a team on the opposite side, and thought to himself.

Shaking the reins, Li Taiyi turned the horse's head and quickly headed towards the rear of Datang's array.

"Woo!"

As the horns of Datang and Uzang blew, the war soon began.

After Song Yi returned to Datang's formation, he got on his horse. As the general who had won morale for Datang in the battle before the battle, he suddenly raised the saber in his right hand and issued a heavy and powerful command:

"Everyone, listen and get ready!"

The high-pitched voice resounded through the void. In an instant, the atmosphere became tense, and everyone's eyes turned to the opposite side.

"Rumble!"

Almost at the same time, in the Uzang array opposite, the red-bearded military general Ulm waved his hand, and immediately three thousand Uzang cavalry came out with gloomy faces, like demons stepping out of hell, slowly riding out. .

These Uzang cavalrymen were obviously elite soldiers. They were fully armored and had fierce gazes. Even the highland barley horses beneath them were covered with heavy armor, and each one was armed to the teeth.

Although they lost some morale at the beginning, they inspired the fighting spirit of the Uzang soldiers. Each of them exuded an aura as heavy as a mountain. Even though they were separated by a long distance, they still made Datang The soldiers felt heavy pressure.

"Smash the box!"

At this moment, a sonorous and powerful voice suddenly came from the rear of the army.

Li Taiyi looked calm and issued orders. Li Taiyi gained some say in these military training days, and many soldiers were also convinced by Li Taiyi.

After hearing Li Taiyi's words, many soldiers came to their senses. The next moment, boom, the thirty huge wooden boxes were smashed instantly.

Sawdust flew everywhere, immediately revealing the ferocious-looking war equipment inside.

These war machines are as tall as a person, and are covered with a metallic glow. For ease of movement, there are two wheels placed under the seat. On top, there is a huge crossbow. Different from ordinary crossbows, this crossbow is obviously much larger. The arrows mounted on it are more than ten feet long. And if you look carefully, you can see that there are more than 100 arrows on each crossbow. An arrow can range from three to five.

These war instruments with sharp light are exactly crossbows.

From the initial sketch design, production adjustments, to the subsequent test launch, Li Taiyi spent a lot of thought, but the final results were remarkable, and he finally succeeded before Li Taiyi went on the expedition.

"What's this?"

On the other side, behind the Uzang army, Huoshu Songren saw the crossbows scattered in all directions of the Tang Dynasty with sharp eyes, and was puzzled.

For some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, in front of the Uzang army, the red-bearded military general Ulm suddenly pulled out the scimitar from his waist, raised his right hand, swung it violently in the air, and raised it high above his head.

The unique Uzang scimitar shone with a heart-stopping cold light in the void.

"The whole army is listening to the order, and the arrow array is ready!"

"coax!"

Tens of thousands of Uzang cavalry's eyes were excited, and they all let out a roaring response, and waves of ferocious murderous intent surged out of them like a tide.

"The vanguard team sets off!"

Feeling the murderous aura behind him, Ulm's eyes flashed with excitement, and then he swung down the scimitar he held high in his hand.

"Buzz!"

The ground roared, and the three thousand Uzbek cavalry in front were fully armed, each riding a blue-black highland barley horse from the high hillside, charging towards the Tang Army on the opposite side.

Their speed at first was not very fast, but slowly, the speed became faster and faster. In the end, the whole earth was shaking under their feet.

An aura as heavy as a mountain was huge, reaching far away, slowly emanating from their bodies, and this aura was growing exponentially.

Not only that, even the originally dense array began to change, one echelon, two echelons, three echelons..., the three thousand people finally turned into more than ten echelons, charging towards Tang/Jun's direction like undulating waves. go.

Trapezoidal charge array!

This is the most typical, most powerful, and most powerful charge array that Huoshu Songren discovered while training the Uzbek cavalry over a long period of time to deal with the infantry of the Tang Dynasty.

The charging cavalry were divided into countless ladder formations, washing away the opponent's infantry defense array like waves.

No matter how powerful Tang Jun is and how well-armed he is, he may be able to block one charge of war horses, but he may not be able to block the second, third, fourth...

When the number of charges reaches a certain level, it will definitely be able to overwhelm the opponent's front line, tear apart the entire infantry square, and completely crush the opponent.

——As long as the frontline infantry camp collapses, chaos will spread to the entire army! This is the secret discovered by the Uzbeans in countless battles with Middle-earth!

"Boom!"

The ground shook, and the Uzang cavalry charged faster and faster, like a snowball, reaching an incredible speed.

From a distance, it looks like a blue-black thunder. Its momentum is thunderous, overwhelming, and unstoppable!

At that moment, Guo Dingguo's face showed a solemn look.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated this Uzbek army!

One hundred feet!

Seventy feet!

Fifty feet!

Just when the distance between the two sides was only thirty feet——

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

A loud noise suddenly came from Tang/Jun's array.

In an instant, it attracted almost everyone's attention.

No one can describe the change in this moment. When the thirty crossbows fired at the same time, time seemed to freeze. The machine roared and the air trembled. Although there were only thirty crossbows, they burst out. There were hundreds of arrows, and the momentum at that moment completely overwhelmed the charge of the three thousand Uzang cavalry.

Thick and long crossbow arrows, the tips of the arrows shone with a shrill cold light, were shot towards the three thousand Uzbek cavalry like death's scythes.

"puff!"

Before the charging Uszang cavalry could react, a Uszang cavalry leaned up on horseback. Without even saying a word, he was immediately shot by a crossbow and exploded with blood. A huge crossbow arrow shot from him. It penetrated the front chest, penetrated the back chest, and even penetrated the Uzang Iron Cavalry through the second Uzang Iron Cavalry in the back row, then the third, fourth, fifth...

"laugh!"

"laugh!"

"laugh!"

The sound of bone and blood was endless, and the famous Uszang cavalry fell down like harvested straw. In a short period of time, three to four hundred Uszang cavalry were killed instantly without even a word.

For a moment, the void was silent, and no one could react. They all stared at the scene on the battlefield with wide eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

When the third prince entered the Longxi military camp, everyone saw the huge wooden boxes he carried with him, and no one paid attention at the time.

Even during assembly, everyone only took a second look.

——But no one thought that the power of these crossbows was so terrifying.

"All charge!"

Guo Dingguo was stunned when he saw this scene, but as an experienced general, he quickly recovered his composure and gave a loud command.

Although I didn't expect these crossbows to be so powerful, now is the best time to attack.

"kill!"

In an instant, after receiving Guo Dingguo's order, the Tang Dynasty cavalry bore the brunt and immediately rushed into the opposite Uzang cavalry formation and fought fiercely.

Suddenly, the Wuszang cavalry were in chaos.

Although the three thousand elite Uzbek cavalry soldiers were only one tenth less, the power of the crossbows left a very deep impression on them.

During the fight with Datang/the army, he suddenly became much more cautious than before, as if he was afraid of another volley from Datang.
