Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 359 The Great Victory
The lethality of the crossbow is the natural enemy of the light cavalry, but it can only perform three rounds of attacks.

The distance is too far, the range is not enough; three rounds of shooting, the extremely fast light cavalry has rushed to the front of the formation with the momentum of thunder, and the crossbow arrows have lost their effect.

Fang Jun raised his arm again: "The crossbowman backs up, shoots automatically, and the grenadier prepares!"

After setting up three rounds of crossbow arrows, the crossbowmen will automatically push to the rear. The next task is to automatically find the target and continue to kill people.Generally speaking, this kind of killing effect is great, but it cannot cause fatal damage to the cavalry's shock formation, so no matter how many people are killed, it cannot determine the victory or defeat of the war.

Once the infantry phalanx is dispersed by the enemy, these crossbowmen will become the prey of the enemy cavalry, slaughtering wantonly without any resistance!
The grenadier stepped forward to fill the position of the crossbowman, and the torches were lit one by one.

"put!"

Fang Jun gave a loud shout.

One after another, the "shocking thunder" ignited the fuse, and was thrown out violently by the grenadier.

Every grenadier is selected after being cruelly selected in the Shenji Battalion, and each has amazing physical strength.

It was impossible for the grenadiers to do the same uniform movements as the crossbowmen. The dark iron lumps were thrown from the square and landed 30 meters in front of the formation.

The lead wire has not been burned yet, and the Turkic cavalry has rushed to the front!
The soldiers in the first row put the tails of their spears on the ground, and they were firmly stepped on by the shieldmen around them to fix them. Using their bodies as a fulcrum, they propped up the spears, which were about ten meters long, obliquely. Pointing to the sky, like a forest of guns!
The spearmen could still clearly see the ferocious faces of the Turkic cavalry and the white foam that the horses spewed wantonly.

then……

A burst of earth-shattering explosions exploded in the formation of the Turkic cavalry!
The soaring flames illuminated the entire camp, and also illuminated the terrified faces of the Turkic cavalry!The fiery airflow formed a small shock wave with the explosion, and projected the prefabricated fragments of "Shocking Thunder" in all directions. Countless fragments filled the nearby space and flew wildly and unscrupulously. The huge kinetic energy was irresistible. Touching all obstacles, howling and shaking, blood spurting!
Residual limbs and broken arms were thrown randomly in the explosion, and the impact formation of the Turkic cavalry collapsed instantly!

The peasants hiding in the distance were completely dumbfounded. Facing such an earth-shattering explosion and the flames soaring into the sky, they were at a loss. What happened in front of them had already surpassed their cognition!
Is it thunder?

Could it be that the old man Houta of Xinxiang can not only "call the wind and call the rain", but also summon thunder and lightning?

Everyone was dumbfounded!
However, although the lethality of "Zhentianlei" is huge, the range is too short. Although the charging formation of the Turkic cavalry has become chaotic, the frontmost cavalry has already slammed into the phalanx due to the force of inertia!
"boom!"

It was like a violent wave hitting the reef on the shore, making a dull bang.

The brutal Turkic cavalry controlled the horses, and the heavy horses plus the running speed formed a huge inertia, allowing the sharp spears to pierce the horse's body, and then pierced their own body, hitting the phalanx fiercely!

Splashing blood-red waves!

The huge force knocked the array into pieces for a while, and the spear pierced through the horse and the human body, but the inertia still persisted, and it hit the spearman just like that.

boom!
The weight of the horse hit the spearman until his bones were broken, and his mouth spurted blood. Because the comrades behind him held his body tightly, he didn't fly upside down, but he had already collapsed to the ground, dying of breathlessness. crash!
Even so, at the end of the day, the fierce Turkic cavalry raised their scimitars high and slashed at the spearmen!Although blocked by the shield soldiers swinging their shields, they still have to defend the dignity of the Turkic warriors to the death, without fear of death!

The spearman was killed, and his comrades were immediately behind him to fill his position. Once again, there was no gap in the sharp gun forest, ready to meet the next attack of the Turkic cavalry!
However... the expected impact did not come as expected.

The huge explosion effect and berserk lethality of "Shocking Thunder" had already scared the Turkic war horses to the ground. Even if the cavalry shouted, cursed and whipped them, they were just pawing around, unable to take a step forward!
War horses are not humans after all, they have a natural fear of fire and loud noise...

Occasionally a few war horses bumped into the square, but it was not enough to shake the stability of the square.

As long as the formation is stable, there is no fear of the enemy's cavalry charge!
Fang Jun was overjoyed, he survived so easily?Even if he is not a military genius, he also knows that the greatest lethality of cavalry lies in its violent impact. Without a charge, why not become the target of crossbowmen?
Without his order, the crossbowmen who had retreated to the rear had already taken the opportunity to disperse. One of them pointed a crossbow at the chaotic cavalry looking for targets and fired, and the other followed behind with a quiver in their hands to provide continuous fire support from afar.

Cavalry has no impact, so there is only one thing better than infantry - run fast!

The invincible Turkic wolf cavalry suffered a disastrous defeat under completely unacceptable battle conditions, and their usual unruly morale fell to the lowest point. This group of barbarians who have never been restrained by military aircraft and have no military literacy can always burst out amazing fighting power in the face of the weaker side , unscrupulous, risking one's life to kill, but when the defeat is settled, the last trace of will to fight will be completely lost.

I don't know who was the leader, but with a roar, the remaining hundreds of cavalrymen tucked their tails and fled desperately.

The sound of fighting gradually dissipated, the tents had been crushed by the charge of the Turkic cavalry just now, and the entire barracks was in a mess.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and a strong smell of blood.

In front of the phalanx, there were corpses all over the place, the wailing of war horses, the groans of Turkic cavalry, the blood flowing across, and the scattered stumps, like a tragic scene of hell on earth.

The entire Shenji camp fell into a brief silence.

Their bodies were still trembling after being shocked by the fierce and domineering momentum of the Turkic wolf rider, and their consciousness could not accept the current situation in front of them.

This is... winning?
Two thousand infantry, head on against a thousand fierce Turkic cavalry, won so easily?
In the next second, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who had finally come to their senses, uttered an earth-shattering roar!

It was the ecstasy after the great fear was released!

Already determined to die, who would have thought that victory would come so unexpectedly and so easily?
The joy of being saved from a desperate situation and the shock of defeating the powerful Turkic cavalry caused cheers to resound throughout the world!
The folk husbands in the distance also ran over like crazy to participate in this joyful carnival!

They have been in the rear, clearly seeing the Turkic cavalry charging like mountains and seas, clearly seeing the enemy being blocked by the phalanx, and even more clearly seeing that the earth-shattering "shocking thunder" will be invincible The Turkic cavalry exploded into the sky!

Therefore, the shock brought to them by the whole battle is more intuitive and thrilling!

How many Tang troops dared to challenge the infantry and the Turkic cavalry?

Even though Li Weigong commanded an army to sweep across Mobei, the power of the Turkic cavalry was still not underestimated!

This is simply the number one strongest army in the Tang Dynasty!
People rushed to the side of Lord Hou who had been standing proudly on the horse all this time, fell to the ground and worshiped!

In their view, this Lord Hou is the god of thunder descending to earth, otherwise how could he summon the sky thunder to blow up the souls of the fierce and powerful Turkic cavalry and defeat him completely?
Fang Jun sat on the horse and let out a long breath.

Suddenly, he found that his whole body was already drenched in cold sweat, and the night wind outside the Great Wall was cool, blowing gently, making his whole body cold.

No one knew that at the moment when the Turkic cavalry rushed to the front, this "half immortal" almost turned his horse's head and ran away...

This isn't Fang Jun's cowardice. People who have never experienced the overwhelming cavalry rushing into battle can't imagine how much fear they faced at that moment!

How would it feel if a ten-storey building collapsed before your eyes?
The cavalry charge on the ancient battlefield is even worse!
That kind of fear has nothing to do with life and death, it will thoroughly excavate the most original fear of human beings. At that moment, what you want is not to live, but to face it even if you die!

Fortunately, I persisted...

There was a hint of a smile on Fang Jun's lips, very proud.

No matter how fierce and domineering cavalry is, isn't it vulnerable to firearms?
You are on the right path!
As long as we continue to develop along this road, the threat of the grassland people to Datang will no longer exist. Only then can Datang fully unleash its advantage in population and usher in a more prosperous development!

But the most important thing right now, he has to figure out the purpose of this Turkic cavalry...
