Chapter 976: First Sighting of New Weapons

"Report! The hot air balloon soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate have asked us to go twenty miles southwest to help fight."

Someone in Zhang Xiaosong's team was looking through binoculars while riding on horseback.

I saw the hot air balloon raised by the Anxi Protectorate to deal with the main force of Sulu, and the other party also saw their team.

Then the other party signals to them and asks them to help.

"Quickly, change horses, change horses continuously, rush over, and cover up Sulu's people." Zhang Xiaosong did not hesitate at all and led the team to rush over there.

He wants to cover the Sulu battlefield. It is now impossible for his own side of the battlefield to be covered by the enemy because of the hot air balloon.

Who can shield you from a hundred miles away? If it is tens of miles away, the people on the hot air balloon can see it, even if it is a small dot when looking through a telescope.

The team changed horses to speed up, and within a quarter of an hour, when they arrived at their position, the enemy's scouts were still fighting with Datang's scouts.

When a large group of cavalry appears, the enemy scout's first thought is to run.

The scouts of the Tang Dynasty immediately urged their horses desperately to run? Our people are here, small ones, please stay.

"The wind direction is suitable and the wind is not strong. Let them release two hot air balloons."

Zhang Xiaosong felt the wind and direction and gave orders to his flag soldiers.

The wind is blowing towards Sulu, but not too strong.

People in Datang didn't react to this situation, but he did. If he didn't let him fly now, when would he wait?

As for saying that it is easy to die if you fly over, just die. You will lead the team to kill, but it is not good to tell your fortune if you die.

The flagman jumped directly onto the horse and waved the flag with both hands to convey the order.

Just after repeating it twice, there was a hole in front of the horse. When the horse jumped, he fell straight down.

"Help," he shouted.

A horse rushed up from behind, and the man on the horse caught him, threw him again, and he returned to his horse again.

"It's almost over, thank you very much!" The flag soldier thanked him and followed Zhang Xiaosong's horse, ready to follow orders.

It is a routine operation for others to take one look and continue charging, whether it is standing on the horse and waving the flag, or falling and being caught and thrown back.

For them, there is no difficulty, all cavalry should have it.

In fact, it's no problem if it's a little later. The cavalry behind will fish it out like a sheep.

"Application for release." The semaphore soldier on the hot air balloon saw it and waved his semaphore downwards.

The people below passed it to the commander-in-chief and the hot air balloon applied for release.

"It is allowed to fly, please pay attention to safety." The general felt the wind and found that it should indeed be released.

Then the three people underneath the hot air balloon let go of the rope, and the balloon floated out. They retracted the rope as it floated, and when it came back around, they threw the rope and let the people below catch them.

The three hot-air balloons moved forward with the wind. The people on the hot-air balloons picked up the explosive bags and were ready to light them at any time and throw them down.

If they are all released, they will definitely pass on top of the enemy team, so why not throw something?

What if the opponent's general is blown up to death? You have made meritorious deeds yourself.

Zhang Xiaosong neatly dealt with the enemy scouts here, took a look at the hot air balloon in the sky, led the pair forward, and left the area where the scouts from both sides were fighting.

He wants to disgust Sulu from the flank. Nearly 8,000 cavalry suddenly join in and rush to the flank. Does Sulu care about you?

Sulu was indeed dumbfounded. If there was a regret medicine, he would definitely buy one and take it.

Why are Tang Dynasty's hot air balloons so disgusting? They fly high and have telescopes.

At the same time, he was sad that the Tang Dynasty was not good to him. Although it gave him salary and supplies every time, it did not have hot air balloons or telescopes.

It shows that Datang is always on guard against himself and does not trust him.

Why were the people of the Tang Dynasty so smart? Do you know that you will rebel?

Yes, why is the Tang Dynasty so powerful? Those people were once two-legged sheep.

"Don't send scouts, retreat." Sulu ordered. He knew that the scouts were useless. Datang's hot air balloon began to float this way, so he should avoid it.

Three hot air balloons floated slowly over a few miles apart from each other, and there were people on top throwing grenades down.

It was just a can. I lit it and threw it down. It exploded with a bang, but no one was harmed. Some horses were frightened. It was so disgusting.

The people below have to hide, who wants to take a hit?

As soon as they took cover, their formation was in disarray, and the semaphore soldiers on the hot air balloon immediately sent a message.

The main cavalry of the Anxi Protectorate began to charge forward and gradually accelerated.

Zhang Xiaosong also received the message: "Run and shoot, crossbows, echelons, don't charge."

A cavalry team of more than 7,000 people carried crossbows and rushed towards the position of Tuqishi's army. If you are in chaos, who will I hit if I don't hit you?

Sulu wanted to cry, he finally knew the power of hot air balloons.

To say how many people a hot air balloon can kill, it can't kill many.

But its existence is to attack people's hearts and transmit information.

It throws explosive things down, things that can kill a circle of people. Can you dodge during the formation? If you don't hide, the general will probably be killed.

Once you evade, the formation will be chaotic and the enemy will take the opportunity to move out.

Especially this cavalry team that suddenly appeared, how could they react so quickly? Just as something changed on their side, they started charging over there. Who was the leading general?

"Report, I got it. The white-clothed Da Shi army was completely wiped out. The people who ran over said that it was Zhang Xiaosong's army." Finally, a scout came over in time to report.

He shouted so loudly that everyone around UU Reading www.uukanshu.net heard it.

Sulu wished he could kill this scout with a single blow, and at the same time his heart felt cold.

Baiyi Dashi was ambushed by Zhang Xiaosong and his entire army was wiped out.

That was the previous matter. Now, the army I was about to ask about was led by Zhang Xiaosong, a killer.

No wonder he reacted so quickly, this was a famous existence in the Western Regions.

It was over, it was all over.

Sulu wanted to wait for the Tubo army to arrive, but unfortunately, the Tubo army had not arrived yet, and the White-robed Arabs could not arrive.

What he didn't know was that the Tubo army was entangled.

The team of the Qarluk tribe encountered the Tubo troops with grenades, and then the Qarluk tribe soldiers wore heavy armor.

The horses were also heavily armored, and they rushed for a distance, and then they lit the grenades, which exploded in the Tubo army, killing themselves and scaring a group of Tubo horses.

The Tang cavalry behind took the opportunity to charge, and the Tubo cavalry lost their mobility and suffered heavy losses, so they had to retreat and defend.

So no one came to support him, not to mention that the Tubo side was about to be raided by Guo Zhiyun's army.

The war was doomed from the beginning.

Horses that have not experienced gunpowder explosions cannot compete with the enemy at all.

While Sulu was thinking about how to respond, the echelon cavalry of Zhang Xiaosong's army began to fire crossbows rhythmically.

Arrows rained down one after another, and the Turkic warriors fell one by one.

The hot air balloon continued to approach, as if looking for a target.

Sulu's heart was bleeding, and his tears flowed, shouting: "Retreat, retreat."

The Turkic people seemed to have received an order, adjusted their direction, and ran away.

The cavalry was the fastest, running first, and then being chased by Zhang Xiaosong's cavalry.

The infantry was straightforward, throwing down their weapons, kneeling on the ground, and surrendering. I can't run faster than you. I have two legs, you have four legs, and some can fly.
