Chapter 245 Blood-stained Grassland Two

In just a moment, in a burst of dust, the messy formation of the Western Turks was about to be connected with the vanguard of the Hebei infantry cluster.

Seeing the rolling dust rolling up at the enemy's formation, the Hebei Army's infantry cluster stopped. Rows of shield-armored soldiers were already holding knives in one hand and shield in the other. Countless steel shields quickly laid a thick layer of steel walls on the formation.

The shield armored soldiers pressed their shoulders against the thick shield and continued to move forward step by step.

Seeing a steel wall appearing on the enemy's formation, the Western Turkic archers, who were planning to use long-range archers to destroy the enemy's vanguards, put down the bow and arrow on their backs.

Countless cavalrymen were clamoring and galloping, and the scimitar in their hands was already raised high.

Facing the enemy's shield and armored soldiers, they mocked them in their hearts for being a group of turtles hiding behind the shield.

Although the Western Turkic army was defeated last night, they did not feel that the enemy was brave or heroic. In their eyes, the enemy, or the Han people, were just a group of turtles.

The reason for their defeat last night was that they felt that it was because their strong enemy, the Eastern Turkic troops and horses were involved in their own teams, and they were forced to retreat if they killed one by one.

In their hearts, they were not defeated by the Han people at all. They were defeated by their own ethnic group, the Eastern Turks. The Han people were just a group of timid guys who could play conspiracies and tricks.

The cavalry of the Western Turks shouted, and groups of cavalry pressed towards the Hebei army formations like chaotic tides.

Although it is several hundred meters, under the horse's hooves of the cavalry, the distance between these hundreds of meters is crossed by the horse's hooves in a short time.

It's just a moment, a trance, a moment.

The sound of steel knives slashing on the steel shield sounded. The sound was extremely harsh. It was the sound of pure steel collision and slashing, just like the sound of an iron saw rubbing against a rail. No, it was the sound of countless iron saws rubbing against a steel shield. Amid the harsh sounds, the shield armored soldiers of the Hebei Army were forced to advance by the Western Turkic cavalry riding on the war horses.

Countless shields carried on their shoulders gathered together, and the shoulders of the Hebei Army infantry were tightly adjacent. The infantry behind them used their arms and shoulders to help the infantry in front carry the heavy force pressed by the cavalry.

The Western Turkic cavalry laughed wildly, waving the steel knife in his hand fiercely. The steel knife splashed sparks on the steel shield, and the harsh sound could not hide the crazy laughter of the Western Turkic cavalry.

Amid the bursts of crazy laughter, a strange sound came from behind the shield-armored soldiers, but the sound was too small compared to the harsh sound of steel collision, and it was completely overwhelmed by the friction between the crazy laughter and the iron tools.

And the next moment, on countless steel shields, thousands of spears stretched out from the gaps in the shield. The time when these spears were extended was very good. It was the moment when the enemies rushed to the front of the steel shield in groups and were neglected to guard against them.

For the Han people, the Turks may have many reasons to look down on them, but for the weapons produced by the Han people, even the fierce grassland nomadic cavalry has to admit that they are very high-quality in workmanship.

These spears equipped for Hebei infantry are even more of the finest. You know, they were directly driven by Liu Shan at this time, and Liu Shan's emphasis on logistics and weapons is definitely not comparable to others.

The defense of the Turks has always been very garbage. They may praise them for their defense against garbage. For most Turkish nomadic cavalry, they have no defense at all, and they are wearing traditional clothes of herders. It can be said that they are nomadic cavalry because they took a scimitar and rode a horse. Even the cavalry with higher status is at most a piece of leather armor. Iron armor is simply too luxurious for the Turkic cavalry. Or, these Turkic cavalry are brave and do not want to defend themselves with iron armor.

But at this time, in front of countless spears poked out from behind the shield, the Turkic cavalry, who had no defense at all, immediately became victims under a spear.

In just a short moment, pieces of brilliant blood flashed in the Turkic cavalry team. These blood were bloody, and more were horse blood.

Because there are too many Turkic cavalry in front of the shield-armored soldiers, often after a long spear pierces a cavalry, the blood-stained spear tips have to be stabbed into the cavalry behind them.

The war horses were blinking constantly in pain, and some war horses even felt pain and stood up.

With the cooperation of the spearmen, the shield and armor soldiers quickly broke out in front of the steel shield. The shield and armor soldiers quickly pressed forward like walls, and the spearmen behind them kept stabbing the spears out of the gaps in the shield, forcing the enemy to retreat continuously.

At this time, intentionally or unintentionally, the formation of the shield and armor soldiers gradually changed. Rows of shield and armor soldiers were constantly separated, and teams of spearmen rushed out from behind the shield.

At this time, the nomadic cavalry in the grassland seemed to see hope, and the enemy finally crawled out of the thick shell.

The nomadic cavalry was ready to kill themselves in the enemy's spellet array, and prepared to use the enemy's blood to wash away their shame.

At this moment, infantrymen who had no weapons appeared from the formation of the spearmen.

Of course, these infantrymen appear here and cannot attract the attention of the enemy. After all, it would be strange if there are one or two people who are not armed in the hundreds or thousands of teams standing there.

However, at this moment, these people mixed in the team made an action. This action would definitely not belong to the early Tang Dynasty, but should belong to the later generations. This action is a person holding an explosive with a lead or gunpowder, and holding a fire note for making fire in one hand.

Of course, the next time they all lit the leads and threw the gunpowder that was emitting blue smoke in their hands and burning fuses at the enemy cavalry not far away.

I have to say that this is a very risky thing, because the two sides' formations have been handed over at this time, and the gunpowder thrown out is very likely to hurt their team. But unfortunately, these are gunpowder, not explosives, and the power of the explosion is not very great. If gunpowder can be as powerful as nitroglycerin in later generations, there would not be so many people in later generations who spend their entire lives studying explosives that are extremely difficult to store and transport.

Unfortunately, the sound and effect of gunpowder explosion are really shocking. This shock may not scare the soldiers, but the shocking effect is extremely powerful for animals. Perhaps, some people in the countryside should know that during the Chinese New Year, if they are in the chicken coop or other animals when the explosion is set off, they can definitely be fried.

It was the early Tang Dynasty, so it was naturally impossible for animals to be immune to the sound of gunpowder explosion...
