The Turks and Uighurs were all born out of Tiel. Tiel, also known as Gaoche, means that the tribe is good at making big cars.

In the Tang Dynasty, tribes that could make wheels were already civilized tribes, but in the north and south of the desert, the best carts were not the Tieler people, but the Xi people.

The Turks were originally the best forging skills (their old nest was in the Jinshan area, and their ancestors were mostly from the Caucasus area, and only there were developed forging skills). However, the name has also been transferred to the Khitans.

Why? Nothing else is close to the Central Plains!

The Xi tribe and the Khitan were both born in the Yuwen tribe, and the authentic heir to the Yuwen tribe was the Yu tribe!

Therefore, people from the Ministry of War could make wheels, forge and make compound bows, which was one of the rare versatile tribes in the northern part of Mo.

But being versatile is not necessarily powerful. On the grassland, riding and shooting is the most important thing. In today's desert, all tribes, including the extremely primitive Shiwei people, can still be made with a single bow, and arrows made of stones and bones can be barely used.

A brave general like Sun Xiurong, Ma Lin, and Bai Xiaode often uses a composite strong bow with a force of two or three stones at any time. It is extremely rare and requires coincidence. However, there are not many strong bows like Li Fei Shouyu who pulls a force of five stones in a leisurely manner. Looking at the whole world, Li Fei Shouyu himself is also the top famous archer in the Tang Dynasty, no one.

At present, these ten cannons are placed on ten Xi cars. The Xi cars made by the Xi people are the standard objects in the entire desert grassland. The so-called higher than the wheels, naturally, the Xi cars must be the most accurate.

However, in Sun Xiurong's opinion, although the Xiren is good at making Xi cars and the wheels are extremely exquisite, they are still a little worse than the side vans he made in the Nibchu area in his previous life.

So he modified the Xi car, strengthened the wheels with iron sheets, and also wrapped the part of the wheels with axles. At the same time, he used animal grease to lubricate it from time to time. In time, he would also make a four-wheeled carriage with the front wheels that could turn.

This is the Xi car used when marching on the grassland, and it is also very easy to disassemble and install. Because even on the grassland, you always travel through mountains and rivers. This time you come from Qiyimen and have to cross mountains and ridges. In that case, the Xi car will not be used. You can only use the camel to separate the parts of the Xi car and then install it after you arrive at the battlefield.

All three hundred kilograms of short-barrel cannons were installed on the Xi car. After arriving at the battlefield, the four soldiers could easily lift them down and quickly install them on the cannon specialized cannons. The cannons, shells, ammunition and related accessories, such as rods, braziers, towels, buckets, etc., and some spare parts of the cannon and the cannon car were at least 500 kilograms.

Five hundred kilograms, camels are also very difficult, so they can only carry them separately.

There is no way. If there are heavier cannons, such as cannons with normal caliber ratios, are often several thousand kilograms, they naturally need to be pulled away by a special cannon truck, but Sun Xiurong hasn't thought of using them immediately.

It is serious to use a short-barrel artillery that is low in the chamber and is not easy to explode.

Among the Hu teenagers, some of them were smarter and able to master relatively advanced mathematical knowledge, so they became artillery soldiers first!

When the turtle formation saw these ten dark pipes made of unknown materials and uses, it was stunned. Wu Chengen, who was watching from the observation deck behind, was the same. But after all, he had been through the battlefield for a long time. When he saw the Thunder Ye Jun trying to waste his energy and hide the ten black pipes, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He took the lead in sending the order to let the powerful crossbowmen in the turtle formation shoot.

As mentioned earlier, the powerful crossbow soldiers of all the border troops of the Tang Dynasty mainly use single crossbows with two stone power and strong crossbows with three stone power. Even chariot crossbows are rarely used in the wild. In fact, Wu Chengen also has them. However, he always thought that his enemy was Yang Shouzhong. He used a single crossbow and strong crossbow to suppress it. Why use chariot crossbows and chariot crossbows?

The effective shooting distance of the powerful crossbow with three stone power is 150 steps, about 220 to 30 meters, and the shooting distance is about 300 meters. If you raise the elevation angle, you can naturally reach a longer distance, but the killing effect at that time is not good.

The so-called end of a powerful crossbow is what it means.

At present, about one mile between Bai Xiaode's cavalry and the turtle formation is the farthest distance that a strong crossbow can shoot. When it comes here, the crossbow arrows can also play a role in harassment.

What's more, during the confrontation that lasted for an hour, the artillery soldiers had loaded their ammunition!

Compared with cannons, the range of the short-barrel cannon is much closer. The effective range of the Napoleon bronze cannon in later generations is about 1,500 meters. Compared with the short-barrel cannon, it is twice as high, but it is much heavier. But at present, Sun Xiurong only needs the short-barrel cannon.

"boom......"

In order to maintain continuous suppression of the enemy's formation, the ten artillery pieces were divided into three waves of bombardment. After three waves, the first six artillery pieces began to fire volleys, and finally the third wave of four artillery pieces.

After five rounds of bombardment, the formation covered by a large shield against the Thunder Ye Army was completely incomplete. The impact force and terrifying effects caused by the kinetic energy of the shells were nothing more than understood by the Qingyi Army at this time. Even if they were well-trained, they collapsed when facing unknown weapons.

When the deafening voice sounded, Wu Chengen, who was in the back formation, suddenly thought of the legend of "thunder and fire" in the Battle of Tanshi Huaitai, which is now widely aborted in the Tang Dynasty. In an instant, he realized that he might not be able to win today, because the cavalry battle behind Bai Xiaode's cavalry just now ended suddenly, and Bai Xiaode's cavalry was still safe, which means Wu Chengyuan was defeated!

Under the double blow, Wu Chengen's heart was as cut as a knife.

Compared with the border troops of Youzhou and Tanzhou, Guizhou's cavalry was formed after he arrived here and had been replaced several times. Originally, there were only one thousand Khitans and the Xi people's palace soldiers, but now it is as high as 70%, but the Han people have become 30%, so their combat power is naturally much higher. Unexpectedly, they failed like this!

And the enemy still has cavalry yet to move!

Wu Chengen quickly made up his mind and ignored the infantry. It is important to escape back to Guizhou now!

With Wu Chengen's retreat, the trunk formation, which was already trembling with an unprecedented roar, immediately opened the gate. At this time, Bai Xiaode and a thousand cavalry cut in like lightning!

When retreating, Wu Chengen was also nervously thinking about his future.

"Wu Chengyu was defeated in the war, without the protection of the cavalry, and he was facing the cavalry of the Sailed Ye Army. It is probably impossible for his own infantry to escape from the battlefield. He can only hope that they can be quick-witted and rushed into the mountains in the north before the cavalry arrived, and wait until the war calmed down before retreating."

"The losses of three thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry are definitely a great event for the Qingyi Army. After returning, I can only recruit 10,000 mature Khitan households and 10,000 mature Khitan herders. Fortunately, I have made some money in recent years, otherwise I will not be able to erase this gap."

"Well, let's talk about Sun Xiurong, the sect's wolf-like ambition, colluded with Yang Shouzhong of Xi's army, and broke into Guizhou from the damaged wall outside. Wu Chengyu led his troops to fight, killing countless enemies, and finally outnumbered, and died heroically for the country. Then he paid a little more money and barely raised ten thousand people."

Just as he was thinking, his 300 silver-san Khitan soon arrived at a narrow place on the post road on the north bank of the Yanghe River. Since a thousand infantry and powerful crossbow soldiers were broken in the rear, he believed that he could still withdraw to Guizhou with his 300 personal soldiers.

but......

Not far ahead, a ray of light shines brightly under the sunset!

It is said that it is a narrow place, but in fact it is two or three miles wide, but apart from the post road on the north bank of the Yanghe River, the remaining places are naturally packed and pits, uneven, and it is not easy for the cavalry to pass by calmly.

Just in the center of the post road, a unit was waiting there for a long time, and the Mo Dao Bing brought by Naren Xiaofeng!

Wu Chengen's pupils contracted!

This weapon has not been equipped with the command of the French governor of Fanyang, but is only equipped in Anxi, Beiting and Hexi. There are also Wanqi Battalions in the capital. Not long ago, he saw it when he went to the capital to meet the holy. Of course, Wanqi Battalions are all cavalry and are equipped with few Modao. Even so, the head of the body that is ten feet long and made of fine iron, with three pointed and two edges, and its shiny appearance makes people shudder. It is definitely true.

He also heard that this object was a powerful weapon to deal with cavalry. As soon as he saw this object, he believed it, "It was so long and heavy that even if you erect your spear like the heavy infantry of the Tang army, it could stop the cavalry, let alone a blade that was two feet long?"

His hesitation immediately made the three hundred silver saddle Khitan stop.

One of them was the leader of the Yinan Khitanzhi. He had never seen Mo Dao before. When he saw Wu Chengen like this, he said: "The military envoy is just some infantrymen, holding some long swords. When we approached, we first shot out a throwing arrow, then threw out short axes and other objects. Taking advantage of the chaos, let the heavy cavalry enter and we will be able to cut a passage."

"After the heavy cavalry enters, the enemy's infantry will definitely be scattered. At that time, will it continue to run towards Guizhou City or stop and kill them."

This person's words reflect a fact that the Silver Sad Khitanzhi built by Wu Chengen is not as simple as a simple cavalry team that can ride and shoot powerfully.

In his troop team, known as the "Silver Sad Khitan" for the first time in history, there were a hundred cavalry, the front half of the war horse was wrapped tightly, and even the head was only exposed with two eyes. The cavalry was even double armored, and they were holding heavy weapons such as iron spear, slalom, iron whip, corrugated mace.

If such troops are intercepted by the enemy, if used properly, they are very likely to break the enemy's formation and allow the subsequent troops to escape calmly.

Thinking about Li Shiming's Xuan Armored Essence Cavalry, it is only one or two hundred, and it can defeat tens of thousands of people who defeat Dou Jiande!
