Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

As the distance was getting closer, Ashina Suni lost sight of the face of the person coming, his face darkened, and he shouted in a cold voice: "Ashina Zhong, you dare to leave your post without authorization?"

Ashina made a salute and said, "Father Khan, there is something strange going on outside the northwest city. We dare not open the city gate to check at night, so we are here to report to Father Khan."

Ashina Suni was taken aback for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Northwest?"

……

On a snowy night, in order to prevent the target from being exposed, no lanterns and torches were lit on the top of the city. The Turkic soldiers defending the city basically relied on their memory to move around the city wall.

Lighting a torch at this time will undoubtedly become a target for the enemy.

However, Ashina Suni did not hesitate, he needed to figure out what the hell the enemy troops outside the city were doing.

Under his command, a grease-soaked spherical object that had been prepared was ignited on the top of the city, and then quickly thrown down from the top of the city.

Ashina Suni, who was hiding behind the watchtower, stared at the city wall indifferently. The fireball drew an arc and fell below the city, illuminating several people who were crouching and holding some tools to perform certain actions. The figure of a soldier of the Tang Army.

The Turkic archers at the head of the city had already filled their bows, but without orders, they did not shoot arrows at these exposed targets.

The soldiers of the Tang army extinguished the fireball with the simplest speed.

Ashina Suni pointed to the two corners of the city wall with his fingers.

Ashina Zhong understood, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

After a while, two identical fireballs were ignited simultaneously on the east and west sides.

It's just, it's a pity.

Before the fireball could be thrown down, a dozen or so Turkic soldiers around the fireball were hit by hidden arrows from the city and nailed to the city wall.

If you think you are smart, sometimes you are looking for a dead end.

If Ashina Suni hadn't lost his wit, in order to improve Shengle City's defense capability, he had people pour hot water on the city wall, and use the cold to freeze the water into solid ice.

In this way, the solid ice will form Shengle City's largest armor.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even the high-explosive bombs of later generations cannot smash down the walls of Shengle City.In order to take down the city wall of Shengle City, the method of attacking the city with ants must be adopted.

Of course, this is Chen Ying's most hated tactic, not one of them.

In this long-distance raid, because the trebuchet was too heavy, Chen Ying's entire army did not carry the trebuchet.

Chen Ying had no choice but to take advantage of the wind, snow and night to let the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army approach the city wall.

Chen Ying and Ashina Suni played a game of mouse and cat.

Ashina Suni lit a fireball on the city wall, and Chen Ying ordered the crossbowmen to shoot all the surrounding soldiers to death. Anyway, the Tang army's crossbows had a long range and great power.

In this way, both sides come and go.Until Liu Rengui reported to Chen Ying: "The general is ready!"

Chen Ying, who was outside the city, stared coldly at the Turkic people on the city wall.

He said with a cold smile: "It's all over, the era of the end of famous generals!"

Liu Rengui asked curiously: "What is the end of the era of famous generals?"

"This general is not a weapon-only theorist, but I also believe that no matter how sharp a weapon is, it must be used by a human being. Human beings are the soul of a weapon. But you won't understand, the power of that thing, now you It's still far away, and when you can see it, I'm afraid your perception of the so-called famous generals will be completely rewritten..."

Chen Ying paused, and said seriously: "In the future era, whoever can make good use of that thing will be a famous general; the so-called famous generals of this era, in front of that thing, will soon cease to be famous generals..."

At this time, the Lancers of the Dingyuan Army had retreated to a position four or five miles to the northwest, while the infantrymen of the Dingyuan Army, the Spearmen and the Sword and Shield Soldiers, stood in front of them.

With the long shout of order: "Hold the spear, hold the shield!"

More than [-] soldiers of the Dingyuan Army began to arrange a charge formation.

At this moment, Ashina Suni, who was standing on the city wall, thought he was dazzled, and dozens of red dots appeared on the snow several feet away from the city.

It stands out against the white snow.

He looked at these red dots seriously, and with the faint sneering sound, Ashina Suni murmured: "What the hell..."

Theoretically speaking, there are many kinds of explosions...Gunpowder is still a new thing in this era. It was not until the wars in the middle and late Tang Dynasty that there was no example of using a trebuchet to throw explosive packages.

However, it is difficult to say that the effect of the few times of war use is very good. After all, black powder is not yellow powder, and the inferior fuse made of rope soaked in grease is also extremely unreliable. Even if it is successfully detonated, the package is simple and leaks on all sides. Even if the explosive pack explodes, it is difficult to cause greater damage to the enemy.

The power of this kind of primitive mortar is sometimes not as great as throwing stones directly. It is normal for the lead wire to burn out in mid-air and explode, or the lead wire is too long to be extinguished by the enemy or kicked off the wall. It is very accidental that it can explode on the city wall. matter.

The effect of explosives is mainly focused on the loud noise and the thick smoke produced by the burning of black gunpowder during the explosion.

The former can effectively intimidate the enemy and attack the morale of the enemy, while the latter can cover the enemy's sight and provide cover for the actions of one's own army.

Neither of these two tactical effects alone can determine the outcome of a battle.

As the saying goes, a slight difference is a thousand miles away.Although the ancients invented gunpowder, they did not understand the relationship between density, sealing and explosive power, but Chen Ying understood these...

Chen Ying felt that this moment was very delicate, everything seemed to be slowed down.

That roaring sound was so strong and swift, with a distance of a hundred steps, the sound waves swept past, and almost everyone's ear drums emitted a terrifying hum at the same time, and the next moment, everything between the heavens and the earth changed , there is no longer any sound in the world, and it is as silent as a ghost.

At that moment, the world paled.Everything in front of him turned into black and white.

Three thousand catties of black powder were packed in a trapezoidal cast carriage.This sled was fixed under the city wall, and the blasting angle was directly facing the city wall of Shengle.In order to prevent the lead from going out due to other reasons, Chen Ying had people prepare hundreds of fuzes at one time.

Three thousand catties were detonated in an instant, and more than 800 million liters of carbon dioxide gas produced had nowhere to go, and the ground was hard and thick.Explosives of this magnitude.Haven't challenged the power of the earth yet.

As a result, the angry and fanatical gas molecules roared in unison in the only direction they could move...

The thick and solid wooden city gates turned into wooden sticks in an instant, and the subsequent denser and more powerful explosion waves restored these wooden sticks into sharp and slender wooden thorns without any suspense...

Ashina Suni on the city wall, and his son Ashina Zhong, including the future of all the Turks, the hope of the East Turks, all crumbled to shreds with the gate tower...

The ground was shaking violently, and the warriors in hard armor were trembling. Many old warriors who were used to seeing blood had to lean on their swords, shields or spears to barely support their bodies.

No one screamed, no one groaned, there was no clash of weapons or vicious curses, amidst the roaring sound, the world was terribly silent.

Chen Ying looked at his masterpiece very easily, and said with a faint smile: "What kind of shit famous general..."

"The era of famous generals...is this the end?" Liu Rengui muttered to himself, as if he was asking himself.He seemed to be asking Chen Ying beside him.

"No!" Chen Ying sighed, "The era of famous generals has just begun..."

Shengle City collapsed for more than [-] feet. In fact, less than a hundred East Turkic people were killed on the spot.

However, this shocking explosion blew away the last will and vitality of the East Turks!

"Attack...attack!"
