Lu Li smiled slightly at Wei Zheng, cupped his fists and saluted.
Afterwards, he put away his smile and looked at Li Xiao: "His Royal Highness, the firepower formation has been set up, and each person carries ten rounds of bullets. Please give instructions, Your Highness!"
"Save the bullets, just beat them away." Li Xiao nodded.
For Li Xiao, this bullet is very expensive and can only be used for special purposes.
For example, now, it is not used to consume the enemy's vitality. After all, even if the bullets are exhausted, these Turkic people cannot be killed.
Lu Li clasped his fists together: "Yes, Your Highness!"
"What are bullets?"
All the civil and military officials were covered in confusion.
At this moment, the Turkic cavalry was less than twenty feet away from Li Xiao's side.
The two riders in the front were unusually burly and full of flesh.
They are Bayan Tulu, the seventh warrior of the Turks, and Sunongjig, the eighth warrior.
At the same time, they were also the leaders of two major tribes among the many Turkic tribes.
"Bayan Tulu, let's compare, whoever kills more will own the armor!"
Sunongjige stared ahead with a greedy look on his face.
"Ha ha……"
Bayan Tulu sneered, and said: "Even if you kill more than me, your ranking is still behind me, and you will never beat me alone, so don't engage in these little tricks."
"As for these armors, the Great Khan will definitely not let them go. If you and I can get a pair of armors, it will be considered good."
"Hmph! Coward!"
Su Nongjige said with a look of disdain: "The boy killed Hu Yanjue, as long as I kill him, the sweat will definitely make me the second warrior of the grassland. If you are afraid of death, hide behind!"
"You really want to lure me to deal with those little soldiers, so as to steal my military exploits, no way!" Bayan Tulu narrowed his eyes slightly, "He is mine!"
During the conversation, the two were extremely confident, and they didn't put Li Xiao and others in their eyes at all.
No matter how strong the individual is, they are no different from paper in front of their cavalry charge.
This is the eternal truth.
As for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty holding iron pipes in the front row, they almost didn't laugh out loud.
You said you should take a shield, or a spear!
This has a certain effect on resisting cavalry charges.
But holding an iron pipe, he put up a battle to confront them head-on, isn't it funny?
While chatting and laughing, the Turkic cavalry army had rushed to less than ten feet in front of the Longxiang soldiers.
Cruel smiles began to appear on the faces of all the Turkic soldiers.
They seem to have seen the scene of the enemy army being smashed to pieces.
On the other hand, all the officials, civil and military, were ashen-faced, with despair in their eyes.
Cheng Yaojin also had a determined face, holding the weapon he picked up from the road, he was about to rush out to fight the enemy desperately.
However, at the next moment, Li Xiao gave an order: "Fire!"
"Fire!"
Hundreds of Longxiang fighters pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang..."
The dense gunshots rang out, like lighting firecrackers, incessantly.
Hundreds of rifles fired at the same time. This sudden movement shocked all civil and military officials.
"What's going on? What kind of weapon is this?"
"This iron pipe can actually breathe fire. I have never seen such a strange weapon!"
"Although this weapon is weird and powerful, those Turkic barbarians are not frightened. How could it be..."
The civil and military officials were discussing a lot, and before the last sentence was finished, they were shocked to see the Turkic cavalry in the front row falling down in pieces like harvesting wheat in the distance.
They can see clearly.
On the foreheads or necks of those Turkic soldiers, bloody flowers kept bursting out, and that was the main reason why the Turkic soldiers turned their backs.
What's even more weird is that they didn't see any weapons attacking the Turkic soldiers at all.
Even if it is a hidden weapon, it must have a flight path!
However, the attack from the weapon used by Li Xiao's subordinates was invisible.
You can't even see what is attacking you, so how do you defend against it?
The civil and military officials were completely shocked, and they stared at this one-sided massacre in dumbfounded.
At this moment, Sunongjige crawled out of the corpse, half of the left side of his face including his ears disappeared, and his face was distorted due to the pain.
There was still horror in his eyes at the moment.
Just now, when those Han people raised iron pipes to aim at him, he also instinctively sensed the danger, and focused his attention to deal with the enemy's attack.
But never expected.
The iron pipe on the opposite side only had a flash of sparks, and then a small black spot struck him like lightning.
The speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.
Then the little black dot came before his eyes.
If he hadn't instinctively turned his head to the side, it might not be as simple as just losing one ear at this moment.
"help me……"
Suddenly, a faint cry for help came from a pile of corpses not far away.
Sunongjige looked subconsciously, but saw Bayan Tulu calling for help.
And on Bayan Tulu's neck, there was a shocking wound, which was spraying blood.
After shouting a few times, Bayan Tulu was completely silent.
Endless fear welled up in Sunongjige's heart.
The body couldn't help shaking slightly.
The seventh and eighth warriors on the dignified grassland are one of the most powerful people on the entire grassland.
But even if they were as strong as them, they would not have the slightest resistance against the opponent's weird weapon.
Not even time to dodge.
too strong!
He reckoned that even if the number one warrior came over, he would also have to drink his hatred on the spot.
It seems that in front of the enemy's weapons, there is no difference in their strength, and they all die.
What completely made Sunongjige lose the courage to resist was that the opponent had hundreds of such weapons.
Isn't this invincible in the world?
Who else can stop it?
No!
He must tell Khan this information, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Sunongjige forced his trembling hands to calm down, and slowly crawled towards the rear.
on the battlefield.
In just a moment, there were not many Turkic cavalry who charged aggressively just now.
There were scattered war horses everywhere, running wildly in panic.
The Turkic infantry phalanx in the rear has completely stopped advancing.
All of them were stunned by the scene before them.
In just a few breaths of effort, thousands of cavalry in front were dead!
"What the hell did they do?"
"Boyan Tulu and Su Nongjige didn't even survive a single round..."
"Could it be witchcraft? It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, some big tribes had a high priest who knew witchcraft. They could make the living die and the dead live..."
"This prince of the Tang Kingdom, did he find the lost witchcraft?"
The Turkic infantrymen behind were discussing with horror on their faces, and at the same time their bodies retreated involuntarily...
Chapter 423: Just Come Out
The movement outside the city also attracted Jieli Khan's attention.
He originally thought that Li Xiao and the others wouldn't be able to run very far.
But when he looked around, what he saw was that all the cavalry he sent out were lying in a pool of blood, and the infantry phalanx behind him stopped because of fear.
He was both angry and puzzled.
"What's going on? What happened just now? Why are all the cavalry dead?" Jieli Khan asked angrily.
"Khan, I don't know, I just saw a flash of fire over there, and then our cavalry fell down like wheat." The warrior beside him also said with a confused expression.
The key is that the opponent doesn't even have a bow and crossbow.
Without bows and crossbows, how to accomplish large-scale long-distance killings?
On the city wall, everyone present was lost in thought.
At this time, the impression of Li Xiao in their minds changed from mysterious to weird.
This boy who appeared suddenly had too many strange methods that they had never seen before, and it was hard to guard against.
"Great Khan, this subordinate will send more troops to chase after him!" said the leader of a tribe.
"Watch out for those strangely shaped chariots!"
Jieli Khan frowned.
At this time, less than a hundred feet behind Li Xiao and the others, countless strange chariots they had never seen before were galloping, obviously coming to meet Li Xiao.
Suddenly, the man in black robe, that is, the Turkic national teacher, hurried over.
He looked anxious, and when he saw Jieli, he immediately shouted: "Khan, I can't chase anymore!"
"National teacher, you came just in time!"
Jieli Khan took a deep breath and said apologetically, "This Li Xiao is really not easy to deal with. I blamed you before."
After a pause, he asked patiently, "Why can't you chase after?"
"Khan, there is a saying in the Central Plains that poor bandits don't chase after them!"
The Turkic State Teacher said with a serious face: "I have also heard about what happened just now. Since Li Xiao dared to come alone, it is obvious that he has already prepared a way out."
"And our army has just gone through this siege battle and has not had a moment's respite. If we rush out of the city to pursue it, once we fall into the trap, we will suffer heavy losses."
"My subordinates implore the Khan to call back the troops, give the soldiers time to rest, and also give the subordinates time to find out the details of Li Xiao. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle!"
Hearing this, Jieli Khan fell into deep thought.
He thought carefully for a moment, then looked unwillingly at Li Xiao outside the city, and then shouted: "Everyone return to the city immediately to defend, rectify the armament, and don't go out to chase the enemy privately!"
"Khan is wise!"
Hearing this, the Turkic national teacher was relieved.
"I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer!" Jieli Khan said with a cold face.
……
outside the city.
