They had seen it clearly when the two thousand cavalry attacked just now. In fact, the impact of the cavalry was not much stronger than that of their grassland cavalry, but the little gadgets in their hands were very powerful, as if they could shoot hidden weapons from them. The cavalry on the grassland were all killed by this thing. Now, the people behind Li Xiang each have one of these things. It would be a miracle if we can dodge it.
The general deliberately slowed down his speed, but the other soldiers hadn't noticed it yet. They rushed forward like crazy. This is how fighting on the grassland is. You have to speed up. If you are slow, you are not far from defeat.
When the two sides were still fifty meters apart, the soldiers under Li Xiang immediately raised their left hands and fired a burst of shots in front of them. The Xueyantuo soldiers also understood that they didn't want to fight us in close combat at all. The thing in their hands was too powerful, and even if we were wearing armor, we couldn't defend against it.
A large number of people fell from their horses one after another like dominoes. Because their impact speed was too fast, even if the hidden blade could not take their lives, if they fell to the ground, the cavalry behind them would not be able to dodge at all and would be trampled to death directly. This kind of thing was not uncommon.
After just one encounter, the Xueyantuo cavalry could no longer maintain their original formation. They were thinking of retreating, but the cavalry behind them didn't understand what was going on and were still thinking of rushing forward. Both sides caused huge chaos on the spot. The soldiers in the sky saw clearly that at this moment both sides were rushing back and forth, and the Xueyantuo soldiers were like dizzy ants.
"Charge."
Seeing that his men's hidden blades were almost fired, Li Xiang raised the steel knife in his hand. Most of these 8,000 soldiers were exchanged from the system. Their strength was not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers. Now that the enemy was in such chaos, one charge could eliminate their 5,000 cavalry. After eliminating these 5,000 cavalry, we can attack the Xueyantuo army.
The Tang soldiers rushed over in a cone shape from a distance. The Xueyantuo soldiers saw it clearly and wanted to rush up and fight, but the people around them were in chaos. Let alone rushing up to fight, you would be lucky if you could walk out of this chaos.
The general in charge had seen through the situation long ago, so he had already run far away. Without the general's command, the chaos below became even more chaotic. When Li Xiang's army rushed in, it was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The five thousand elite soldiers did not cause any ripples at all. In just over ten minutes, these people were defeated by Li Xiang's men. Although dozens of soldiers still fled to the distance, they were no longer a concern.
Xueyantuo Khan almost fainted after seeing this scene. He had thought that he could rely on 5,000 cavalry to block the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty so that he could lead the remaining soldiers to make a final attack. Unexpectedly, these 5,000 soldiers could not even make a move. After the Tang Dynasty army defeated these 5,000 soldiers, no one took any rest, but instead rushed towards his central camp.
While they were lamenting the strong fighting power of the Tang soldiers, the Tang soldiers were also lamenting their good luck. If it hadn't rained today, we would have just used artillery shells against you. Why would we actually engage in a battle?
Walk……
Xueyantuo Khan was not willing to suffer a loss in the face of the current situation. He knew that there was no time to make other arrangements at the moment, so he ordered two teams of a thousand men to meet the enemy, and then led the rest of the people to retreat to the northern desert.
The Turkic army also realized that their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Tang army. They had no chance of winning against the King of Wu's army. Now a more powerful army had arrived. If they didn't run away now, they would not even have a chance to escape. Without waiting for Xueyantuo Khan to call them, they retreated to the northwest with their men.
The two thousand-man teams were naturally useless. They were dealt with by Li Xiang in just a stick of incense. After the large group of people reunited, they did not pursue the Xueyantuo troops. The most important thing now is to see our brothers. They have persisted here for several days, and many of them are probably seriously injured.
King Wu Li Ke wanted to stand up, but he had lost too much blood and was unable to do so. When Li Xiang stood next to Li Ge, he didn't know what to feel in his heart. After all, he was his uncle. Although they had different political views, he had tried his best in the battle just now.
Li Xiang took out a medical kit without saying a word. This thing was used by the US military in World War II. It was much better than what the Tang Dynasty army carried. But except for Li Xiang's direct subordinates, other armies did not have such a thing. The main reason was that there were restrictions on the exchange of this thing, so there was no way to popularize it throughout the army.
Li Xiang opened Li Ge's wounds. There were more than a dozen wounds all over his body. Li Ge had fainted from the pain. Li Xiang took out the anesthetic and used it on Li Ge first, and then bandaged the wound carefully.
The other soldiers did not need to be ordered to quickly take out their medical kits and treat the injuries of the soldiers on the spot. The situation around them was really tragic. They also admired the Tang Dynasty army. They were surrounded and fought for several days and nights, but they were still able to maintain an undefeated record. This was indeed admirable.
This army admired Li Xiang's army even more. They had fought here for several days and nights and had only managed to hold on with great difficulty. However, less than two hours after Li Xiang's army arrived, the Xueyantuo army was defeated by them.
The gap in combat effectiveness has reached an outrageous level. It turned out that there was a rumor within the court that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's troops were powerful. At that time, they did not believe it, but now they all believe it. Although they are the elite champions of the Tang Dynasty and have always been the best in the world in combat effectiveness, compared with Li Xiang's army, they still have to admit the gap between them.
"Light a fire and sterilize everything."
After bandaging the King of Wu's wound, Li Xiang had to start cleaning up the mess. Although now was a good opportunity to pursue, Li Xiang didn't rush his men to pursue. He wanted to settle our people first. The Xueyantuo people killed so many of our brothers, do you really think you can escape?
