Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3340 Wanton Killing

Not far ahead, a camp was set up under rolling hills.

At this moment, Tang Jun naturally didn't know that the Arab army was tossing fiercely last night, changing from front to back and from back to front. He only knew that this place was clearly marked on the sheepskin map as the beginning of the Arab army's hoarding of ordnance, so he took it as a matter of course. as the goal of this trip.

Cavalry raids have always focused on killing and injuring the enemy, because if you want to advance and retreat freely, you must send a small number of cavalry, and you cannot engage the enemy head-on, otherwise the entire army will be wiped out once trapped.

As the name suggests, in the end, the word "disturbance" constantly disturbs the enemy army, making them tired and unstable.

But it would be a real surprise if we were able to attack and harass the enemy's vital points by mistake...

The Arabs ran rampant in the Western Regions, burning, killing and looting wherever they went, and the Hu people in the Western Regions hated them to the bone.Although they had no choice but to attach themselves to them, they also harbored deep resentment in their hearts. In addition, the Arabs were extremely backward in military organization, and there were almost loopholes everywhere. It was a breeze for the attached Hu tribe to spread the news from within.

……

The enemy's camp was not far ahead, and a thousand Tang troops followed the flag and rode their horses fast, galloping across the open field, their hooves sounded like thunder, galloping like a tiger, and they arrived in front of the camp in the blink of an eye.

The camp had apparently discovered that the Tang army was rushing in, and it was a mess inside and out.

More than a thousand soldiers were driven by the generals to run out of the camp, trying to form an array to resist the surprise attack of the Tang army, but how could such an array be placed in the eyes of the right guards?

Running to a place within a stone's throw of the enemy, Tang's troops dispersed loudly to avoid being covered by enemy arrows and mass shootings. Then instead of stopping, they accelerated again, and charged forward relentlessly against the rain of arrows shot by the enemy.

Although the light cavalry had no armor and could not resist the arrows, they were fast enough. In just a few breaths, the enemy only had time to shoot two rounds of arrows, and the Tang army was in front of them.

"boom!"

The sound of countless war horses colliding with the body sounded, and in an instant it gathered into a huge muffled sound. Countless Arab soldiers were knocked by the war horses and flew upside down, with broken bones and tendons.

The Arab soldiers who did not have time to deploy the horses in the future lost their formation in an instant. The horizontal knives in the hands of the soldiers of the Tang Army gleamed with cold light, and they took advantage of the impact of the horses to slash in all directions. The human Arab soldiers rushed to disperse, kill and disperse, and then rushed into the camp without hindrance.

There are few enemy troops in the camp. This is a camp hoarding ordnance. The soldiers are not elite soldiers. If they are responsible for transportation, their combat effectiveness and morale are even worse. Seeing that the Tang army rushed into the camp like wolves and tigers, the rest of the Arab The soldiers shouted and fled in all directions.

Soldiers of the Tang army rushed into the camp on horseback. Seeing the mountain of ordnance behind the camp, they took off the kerosene bombs they were carrying on their horseback, lit them and threw them around.

This kind of kerosene bomb is similar to the one used by the Navy. A layer of cast iron shell is wrapped with flammable materials soaked in kerosene. After lighting the fuse, it is thrown out. When the fire wire burns out, the gunpowder in the cast iron shell is ignited. The explosion of the gunpowder exploded the entire iron shell, and the inflammables inside were ignited at the same time, and were thrown away with the explosion.

This kind of combustible material is contaminated with kerosene, and it will instantly ignite all objects wherever it goes. Even bricks and stones will not be extinguished until the kerosene is completely burned.

When the gunpowder explodes, it is so powerful that a kerosene bomb can easily cover the ground in a radius of ten feet. Once ignited, the water will not be extinguished.

The Tang army roared past the enemy camp, kerosene bombs were ignited and thrown everywhere, and the whole camp was ignited in an instant. Thick black smoke rose into the sky, but was torn apart and blown away by the bitter north wind. , The smell of kerosene spread between heaven and earth.

In less than a stick of incense, Tang Jun entered from the south gate of the camp and exited from the north gate, with the burning ordnance tent behind him.

Wang Fangyi succeeded in one blow, but he was not satisfied.

He did not lead his army to evacuate in time, but led his cavalry to rush northward, and stopped before a mountain col.

More than a thousand men and horses stood in the cold wind, except for the snorting of the war horses from time to time, there was no sound, only the whistling north wind was blowing wantonly between the sky and the earth.

Wang Fangyi asked for the sheepskin map, looked at it carefully, and then raised his head to compare the surrounding terrain, feeling confident in his heart.

This place is already close to the Tianshan Mountains, and there are many ups and downs and gullies. Although there is no natural moat, the terrain is extremely complicated.The Arabs temporarily retreated last night, and more than [-] people were scattered among the criss-crossing mountains, leaning on each other and supporting each other.

There are more than [-] miles between the camp hoarding ordnance and the enemy's temporary central army tent. It can be seen how panicked Ye Qide was in the battle last night. There is such a mountain ridge in the middle to hinder the cavalry raid.

But if you want to rescue the ordnance camp, you must pass through here.

Moreover, with a distance of more than twenty miles, it is impossible to use infantry such as archers and spearmen if they want to rescue them in time. They can only use cavalry with faster mobility...

Not long after, the sound of hooves rumbling behind the hillside was heard, and the enemy's reinforcements arrived.

More than a thousand cavalrymen of the Tang army formed a team, and following Wang Fangyi's arm slamming, 1000 horsemen galloped at the same time, floating up the mountain ridge like a dark cloud, and rushed towards the back of the mountain ridge without slowing down after crossing the ridge.

……

Seeing the black smoke rising from the ordnance camp, Ye Qide almost fainted.

Tang Jun's methods of harassment are really hard to guard against...

Impatient, he immediately led his own soldiers to summon thousands of cavalry to rush to help, and asked the deputy general to gather his troops and rush there.Although he knew that the Tang army could not attack too many troops, how could Ye Qide, who had already been terrified by the Tang army, dare to be careless?

As he galloped towards the north, the cold wind blew his face like a knife, and finally calmed the smoldering fire in Ye Qide's heart.

However, when he led the cavalry to the distance of more than [-] li from the ordnance camp, there was a dull roar in his ears, which made Ye Qide's complexion change greatly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Although his status is noble, but he has been in the army all year round, how could he not hear the sound of galloping horses?
However, it is extremely difficult for the charging cavalry unit to turn or even retreat. Therefore, after he gave the order, the team could barely slow down. , The cavalry of the Tang army like dark clouds swooped down with the help of the terrain. When they were galloping, snow foam and ice chips rose into the sky, aggressively.

At such moments, where is there still time to escape?
If you turn your horse's head and retreat at this moment, you may be overtaken by the Tang army before you can increase your speed. At that time, if you want to turn around and face the battle, it will be like committing suicide. Once the cavalry increases their speed, their powerful impact will be irresistible , even if they are both cavalrymen.

At this moment, Ye Qide only hated himself for being so impatient. He knew that the Tang army would be burned if he succeeded in raiding the ordnance camp, and it would probably be too late to rescue him, but he still rushed here like a headless chicken.

If it was brought by archers or spearmen, why did it come to this?
Seeing Tang Jun rushing towards him, Ye Qide could only grit his teeth and shout: "Array! Meet the enemy!"

"Here!"

The cavalry under his command quickly gathered in front of Ye Qide, waiting in formation, all of them pale.

As a cavalry, how can you not know how powerful the impact will be once the cavalry is fully charged?Resisting such an impact with flesh and blood is no different from killing by neck...

In an instant, the Tang army rushed down from the mountain ridge. However, under the desperate eyes of the Arab soldiers, they did not rush into the formation to fight close to each other as expected, but reached a point more than ten feet in front of the formation. Second, run towards the two wings close to the front of the Arab soldiers.

At the same time, countless black lumps flew up from the Tang army formation and fell straight into the Arab army formation.

"boom boom"

The earth-shattering explosion sounded deafeningly, and one thunder after another exploded in the Arabian cavalry formation, and the gunpowder smoke shot up into the sky with the flames, countless shrapnel were thrown in all directions by the violent energy, and easily shot into the bodies of the Arab soldiers and horses, blocking invincible.

The screams of soldiers, the hissing of war horses, corpses littered the Arab formation, and the formation instantly collapsed.

The Tang army was divided into two, and rushed out from the two wings, surrounding the Arabs. Countless thunderbolts were ignited and thrown into the Arab positions, and when they exploded, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Ye Qide was frightened out of his wits, seeing his own soldiers gathered in front of him desperately, he hastily waved his horsewhip to whip him, and cursed: "Scatter, all of you!"

So many people gathered around, did they want to tell Tang Jun that I was a big fish, and then rushed up to kill me?
Fortunately, Sha Zhentian was shouted not far behind him, and the pawns arrived in time.

Wang Fangyi saw that the enemy army had been completely destroyed, and the reinforcements from the rear had already caught up. He didn't dare to fight, he took the lead in riding his horse out of the battle circle, and galloped towards the north. away.

How did he know that there was an enemy commander hidden in such a team of more than a thousand people rushing to help?

If he knew that he was so far away from being famous all over the world and becoming an official, Wang Fangyi would regret it, vomit blood and die...
