My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 406 Battle One
The trumpets sounded, and the war drums rumbled.

Both sides, who had ended their mutual temptation, began to prepare for battle.

People in the Central Plains followed the strategy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War. Mou Gong Chapter", although this handsome man named Sun Wu broke the battle etiquette before the Warring States Period.

However, the unparalleled art of war written by Sun Tzu was highly respected by generals, and he was called a son.

Surround it by ten, attack it by five, and divide it by double.

Apparently King Dulu Ashina claimed to be a strong soldier, or he had never read military books and tactics. It is a taboo for military strategists to attack Yingzhou City guarded by [-] dragon guards with [-].

The mighty Turkic people who stretched for several miles gradually became clear in the eyes of Longwuwei soldiers, and they slowly approached Yingzhou City.

The infantry's siege equipment was gradually exposed, and there was nothing but shoddy ladders and clumsy chariots.

The Turkic people thought they were the mighty army on the grassland, they were always invincible, and they always disdained the direction of the dragon who was guarding by their ministers.

In all fairness, the Han Chinese are indeed inferior to the Turkic people in field battles. There are too many factors that cause the Turkic people to grow up eating beef and mutton and drinking horse milk, and their physique is more than twice that of the Han people who grew up eating whole grains.

In addition, the war horses of the Turks are even more powerful than those of the Han people, and field battles are indeed incomparable.

The champion Hou Huo Qubing, who was able to beat the Huns, ran away with his head in his arms, leaving behind the title of sealing the wolf and living in Xu, which is inseparable from the Heshuo Grassland initially occupied by the Han people. In addition, Zhang Qian went on an envoy to the Western Regions to buy a lot of Dawan horses.

After several years of recuperation, the war horses of the Han Dynasty were no weaker than the Huns, and the weakness of the Han people was weakened, and the Huns had no choice but to flee.

However, the current Dalong is not as strong as it was in the Han Dynasty. The Heshuo Grassland was occupied by the Turks. The Silk Road in the Western Regions had lost control in the Jin Dynasty. There is also the Kingdom of Jin eyeing the area.

It is no small victory to be able to stop the Turkic Jin Kingdom from being unable to go south for hundreds of years in the face of a weak situation.

Even bravely going northward left an indelible disaster to the Turkic Jin people.

It was also at that time that the Turkic people understood that it was not that the soldiers of the Dragon Dynasty did not dare to go north to meet the enemy, but that the Holy Majesty had never ordered to go north.

More than 20 years ago, 30 Dalong Six Guards could go north to the border, and 20 years later, the Dalong Wuwei could also go north to the frontier with 30 people to fight the enemy bravely.

It is not that the Han people lack blood, but that they are waiting, waiting for an imperial decree, waiting for a decisive imperial decree to kill.

Just like the imperial decree 20 years ago, the six guards came out together and went north to avenge their shame.

Zhang Kuang looked at the Turkic cavalry covering the siege infantry with a stern expression, and gently raised the shogi in his hand: "Fireworks ignite."

Hundreds of torches were lit on hundreds of crenels on the Yingzhou city wall, and the fixed fireworks were ignited.

The sound of the explosion directly overshadowed the rumbling sound of the war drums, and hundreds of fireworks bombs flew towards the Turkic cavalry with bright lights. The first time gunpowder was used in military warfare was not artillery but fireworks.

For the first time, the black gunpowder swore his arrival in Zhang Kuang's hands.

The Turkic people didn't know why this thunderous voice sounded from the city of Yingzhou, and when they realized it, they had already been thrown high by the war horses.

Although the fireworks were no longer effective under Young Master Liu's control, they were filled with black gunpowder after all, and the sound and light of the explosion in the ears were enough to make horses and cavalry instantly deaf and blind.

Especially the war horse was frightened by the explosion of fireworks and became agitated.

The Turkic people, who had always been proficient in riding, found that their war horses, which they could easily control on weekdays, could not stop calling.

It was only the first firework bomb that caused the Turkic people to panic. Liu Dashao fired more than a dozen to dozens of fireworks, and the continuous roar bloomed beautiful flowers in the Turkic battle.

"Don't say anything, are our horses' ears plugged up?"

"What? General, please speak up? You don't know clearly!" Huo Buyan covered his ears with one hand and approached Zhang Kuang. The sound of fireworks couldn't help deafening the Turks. Long Wuwei, who was standing on the city wall, also felt his ears. Humming, quite uncomfortable.

"Did I say that the things inside the ears of our warhorses are stuffed with cotton?"

"Don't worry, the general, the horses of the light cavalry and heavy cavalry are all plugged up."

Finally hearing the general's voice clearly, Huo Buyan answered.

The explosion of thousands of firework bombs almost crushed the Turkic cavalry. If the Turkic cavalry hadn't pulled the reins tightly, the horses would have gone away long ago.

Behind the Turkic army, Dulu King Ashinamo looked a little flustered: "What's the matter, what are the southerners using? It's as bright as lightning and looks like thunder. Is this a punishment from heaven?"

"My lord, the tens of thousands of war horses are restless. It is not wise to attack the city at the end of the day. Why don't we change the time?"

Ashina squeezed the horse's belly tightly: "No, the horses can't stand the weather outside if we delay any longer, so we ordered the whole army to attack and attack the city forcefully."

"Follow the order."

The general under his command turned his horse's head in embarrassment and shouted at the trumpeter: "Your Majesty has ordered the whole army to attack."

The sound of the horn outside the city became majestic and powerful, and the Turkic people used their superb riding skills to the extreme to avoid the fireworks on the city wall.

But no matter how superb the riding skills are, they can't avoid the power of the black powder. The firework bombs fired are so fast that they can't be covered by thunder.

The war horses no longer obeyed the command, and many Turkic people were shot directly in the face by fireworks, and the fate can be imagined.

Many Turkic people covered their faces and their heart-wrenching eyes began to howl immediately, which can be said to be beyond recognition.

Hearing the wailing of those unfortunates, the Turkic warlord pulled out the scimitar from his waist and slashed straight down. His head flew out immediately, and hot blood sprayed his face.

"Those who dare not to go before will be killed without mercy."

The Turkic leaders didn't want to do this either, but those who wailed and screamed would affect the stability of the army.

On the city wall, Huo Buyan's expression was cold: "General, these Turkic people are cruel enough to kill even their own people."

Zhang Kuang also looked serious: "This is to stabilize the morale of the army. They have made a determination to die. Today is a difficult and tough battle. Order Zhong Qiang to fire arrows from the eight-ox crossbow. Shoot all arrows without leaving any arrows behind." go out."

"Order."

The crossbow arrows on the city wall began to shoot through the air at the Turkic people, but the Turkic people had already been hardened by the decisive warlord.

He just started attacking the city against the arrows.

The Turkic man who was killed by the two-meter-long arrow pierced his body without even uttering a scream.

But the Turkic people around him still gritted their teeth and rushed towards Yingzhou City with red eyes.

The effect of the rain of arrows was not obvious. The Turks didn't charge as hard as before this time. Whenever the rain of arrows came, they would hold up their shields to cover them.

But the rain of arrows on the city wall of Yingzhou shot out as if desperately.

Tens of thousands of archers shot tens of thousands of arrows every time, and the Turkic people suffered heavy losses and did not hesitate, and no one retreated.

At an angle that could not be covered by the rain of arrows, the Turkic cavalry began to gallop on horseback, and the longbows in their hands began to fight back.

The one-sided situation turned around. Just as Zhong Qiang said, everyone in the Turks is a sharpshooter, and casualties began to appear in Yingzhou City.

And it was quite serious casualties. This time, there were not only 5000 Turkic people, but the rain of arrows shot by 2 Turkic people is definitely a kind of damage that cannot be underestimated.
