"In addition to bravery, fighting requires faith in technology. Don't worry. After three rounds of my crossbow fire, I guarantee their camp will be in chaos. Then it's up to you. Charge in from three directions with your men. Don't worry about the surrounding situation. Just keep charging forward and cut through their ranks. Then, turn your horses around and charge back and forth with your men until they can't organize a strong defense."
Li Xiang said very confidently that he was very clear about what kind of achievements gunpowder could achieve on the battlefield of this era. In various previous battles, our gunpowder had achieved gratifying results, and the amount used was not large. Nowadays, the crossbow is more powerful, so the ceramic bottles used are also relatively large. The gunpowder inside is enough to threaten the surrounding area of about 30 meters when it explodes. Li Xiang did not believe that the army in front of him had ever seen gunpowder.
"With the help of the chain crossbows, we can charge back and forth three times without any problem. The biggest problem now is His Highness's crossbow. As long as they can disrupt the entire formation, charging in will be as easy as eating."
Li Guang also did not believe in these new gadgets of Li Xiang's men. If only thirty of these gadgets could disrupt an army of tens of thousands, then all the wars fought in his previous life would have been in vain.
According to the thinking of these generals, victory on the battlefield depends on the courage of the brothers, how could it be possible to rely on the so-called technology? Speaking of which, what is this technology?
"After this battle, you will surely be interested in my new gadgets. Don't ask me to equip your armies in the future."
Li Xiang rolled his eyes at his subordinates. Although these people all came out of the system, some of Li Xiang's weapons were modified by himself, so these people had never seen them in the system. Everyone was still skeptical about these things of Li Xiang.
After Uncle Yu Dan left the camp, he was like a bird leaving a cage, constantly urging his men to speed up. His men used the best war horses, and dozens of miles were just a matter of moments for them. Soon their vanguard troops entered Li Xiang's artillery range.
Uncle Yu Dan seemed to have already seen the scene of victory. Isn't it just 6,000 or 7,000 Tang troops? You guys are really too bold, actually daring to run around my Ronggong tribe. Today, I will give you guys a good test. The people of my Ronggong tribe are definitely not to be bullied. After capturing these 6,000 or 7,000 of you, it will be the first merit on the grassland.
"Head, what do you see there?"
Just when Uncle Yu Dan was happily daydreaming, his subordinates interrupted his train of thought, which made Uncle Yu Dan very dissatisfied. If he had not seen a black spot in the sky right in front of him, Uncle Yu Dan would have whipped him directly. "I'm daydreaming here, why did you wake me up?"
The men also stopped. They saw clearly that dozens of small black dots appeared in the sky. They seemed to be coming towards them, but they did not look like thrown arrows. If they were thrown arrows, the number should not be so small. In such a large grassland, how many people could be killed by just dozens of arrows?
According to their thinking, if the Tang army discovered such a large army like ours, they should have fled immediately and should not have actively attacked us. An active attack would expose their position. And even if they did, they would not play it the way you do. These dozens of bows and arrows are underestimating us too much.
"War Cross..."
Finally, someone saw clearly what this thing was. This thing also existed in the territory of Tuyuhun. When they attacked the cities of the Tang Dynasty, this thing would be pulled in front of the city, but this thing did not have much practical significance unless you aimed very accurately, so that you could penetrate the soldiers on the city wall. But if you did not aim accurately, this thing would cause limited damage to the city wall.
"The people in the Tang Dynasty must have been foolish, thinking this thing would be just as useful on the grasslands."
Uncle Yu Dan also saw it clearly, and said to his men with a smile, "People around here don't think this thing is that threatening. With such a large grassland, you can only kill a few of us with just a dozen crossbows."
"Hahaha, Chief, please look..."
A crossbow arrow landed two hundred meters to the left of Yu Dan. Because the soldiers had already seen where the arrow landed, everyone around them dodged.
"Then why are there sparks? What's going on?"
Uncle Yu Dan was about to speak when he saw that there was a rope tied to the crossbow arrow, and the rope was still emitting sparks.
The people below had never seen this thing before, but there was no time for them to figure it out. There were hundreds of soldiers surrounding it in three layers inside and outside, and the other crossbows landed in basically the same place.
boom…
Just when these people were like headless flies, the gunpowder at the tail end of the crossbow arrow exploded.
The two ceramic bottles were loaded with a total of four kilograms of explosives, and the ceramic bottles were thickened. Under the thrust of the explosives, the ceramic bottles shattered into hundreds of small pieces, flying around like mad. People in this era did not have much protective armor on their bodies, and even if they did, they could not withstand such power. The people standing in the middle were beaten into a hornet's nest.
The penetrating power of the small porcelain fragments was not very strong. When they penetrated two people, the third person would only be scratched. But there were too many people surrounding them. Take the two bombs on the left side of Uncle Yu Dan for example. They killed more than 20 people and more than a dozen people were seriously injured. Most of them were disfigured.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Uncle Yu Dan was in a panic at this time. There were more than thirty crossbow arrows falling around him, and they began to explode one after another. Before the soldiers could figure out what was going on, they were blown into a hornet's nest. Some war horses were frightened and began to shuttle back and forth in the barracks, not caring who they bumped into in front of them. In short, the war horses could not calm down and only wanted to gallop wildly on the grassland. Only in this way could they relieve the fear in their hearts.
“Here it comes again, here it comes again…”
Many people were only looking down at their feet, not at the sky, not realizing that the second wave of attack was already on the way...
