"Unique weapon?"
All of them widened their eyes in disbelief.
Are you kidding me?
Do you think this destructive aura is Li Xiao's unique weapon?
Is this a weapon that humans can make?
While everyone was shocked, they were also dubious.
After all, this is too bizarre.
However, they did not continue to quarrel and want to leave, but quietly looked at the gunpowder smoke covering the sky and the sun.
At this time, the bombardment of artillery fire has not yet ended.
Round after round.
Every time a cannon was fired, the huge vibration made Baiguan's heart beat violently unconsciously.
In less than a moment, artillery fire swept across the entire Turkic camp.
The center of the Turkic camp was bombed for miles around.
But this only covers most of the Turkic camp, there are too many of them...
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of artillery fire finally stopped.
"Your Highness, there are still half of the shells left, do you want to continue..." Lu Li stepped forward and asked Li Xiao for instructions.
Again?
When everyone heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched.
Just standing here and feeling the shocking movement made their feet numb.
"Forget it, save some shells, there are still many places to use!" Li Xiao said without thinking.
Bombardment is only a means of suppression, a means to destroy the enemy's formation and state, not to kill.
Otherwise, no amount of cannonballs will work. After all, the range is too large and there are too many enemies. Cannonballs alone cannot kill them all.
At this time, the gunpowder smoke slowly thinned, revealing an unrecognizable battlefield.
There are mutilated corpses and charred pits everywhere, as well as the ubiquitous flames.
However, there were originally tens of thousands of Turkic troops, but at this moment, not a single figure was still standing.
A dead silence.
Only farther away, on the edge of the battlefield, there are many Turkic soldiers fleeing.
Abandoning soldiers and armor, ghosts crying and wolves howling and running away frantically.
The civil and military officials looked at the scene in front of them, and they should have been cheering, but at this moment they were silent.
Yes, judging from the current situation, the Turks lost and they won.
It's just that the weapons used by Li Xiao left a deep fear in their hearts, which could not dissipate for a long time.
"Don't stand around stupidly, take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results!" Li Xiao scolded dissatisfiedly.
"Cheng Yaojin, don't you want to try the new equipment you just got?"
"Ninth brother, don't you want to avenge your master?"
"Other generals, do you want to see the remnants of the Turkic army flee back to Turkic?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone woke up with a start.
Under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin, a dozen generals rushed out on horseback.
After receiving Li Xiao's order, Lu Li led the Longxiang fighters to kill them.
However, Li Zhi stood there without moving. He stared at Li Xiao intently, and asked, "Brother Xiao, what happened just now? It's just a weapon?"
He still couldn't believe it.
This was beyond his comprehension.
Based on what he has learned in his life, it is impossible to explain what happened just now.
Therefore, he unconsciously thought of witchcraft and witchcraft in his mind.
His younger brother is likely to be able to demon magic!
He knew he shouldn't ask, but he was too confused.
If he didn't ask clearly, he might not be able to face Li Xiao head-on in the future.
On the side, Changsun Wugou also frowned, staring at Li Xiao closely.
"Ninth brother, I know you are confused, but there are too many unknown things in this world."
Li Xiao thought for a while, then slowly said: "For example, before Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs, who knew that so many herbs could cure diseases? After he did this, people were shocked, and then they understood, and gradually Just accept it."
"Another example is the iron sword in your hand. A long time ago, people used weapons made of stone. At that time, you took an iron sword and showed them. Their mood is your mood at the moment."
"Although it is difficult to accept, you have to accept it."
After Li Xiao finished speaking, Li Zhi froze in place, his eyes were filled with brilliance.
After a while, he raised his head solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiao, that is to say, this is not some sorcery or sorcery, but a weapon made of human power? It already exists in the world, but no one Just know."
"And Brother Xiao, he was the first to discover them!"
"It's almost like this. In a word, for the whole world, the field of our human exploration is too rare. People must have awe of everything in the world. At the same time, they must also have a desire to seek the truth." Heart." Li Xiao said solemnly.
"I see, thank you brother Xiao for clarifying the confusion." Li Zhi bowed his fists to Li Xiao with a serious face, and then asked, "I wonder if I can see the true appearance of that mysterious weapon?"
Hearing this, Li Xiao frowned slightly and said, "I know what you're thinking, but this kind of weapon cannot be leaked now, otherwise it will cause irreparable damage to the common people in the world."
As far as history is concerned, the appearance of artillery was hundreds of years earlier because of his appearance.
Whether this is good or bad, Li Xiao does not know.
He only knows that since the artillery came into existence because of him, he must take on the responsibility of protecting it.
Otherwise, according to the greedy mentality of these ancient people, they will inevitably use artillery to launch endless wars.
"Brother Xiao, I understand your hard conscience, and I won't ask any more questions in the future." Li Zhi nodded.
On the other hand, the eldest grandson Wugou's face gradually became gloomy.
But she looked around at Li Xiao's soldiers and horses, and finally said nothing.
Chapter 433: Ambush in advance
When a group of generals from the Tang Dynasty rode their horses to the battlefield, seeing the scene in front of them, which seemed like Shura's hell, made their scalps tingle.
"Just now there were [-] Turkic troops here, and after less than an hour, there were only wreckage left..."
Wei Zheng had a complex expression, filled with emotion in his heart.
"I also thought there was a tough battle to be fought! The result is that the [-] Turkic army is gone before it is shot. It's boring!"
"There is no sign of the Turkic soldiers on the city wall. They probably fled after hearing the news. Now it's all right. There is no need to attack the city. Chang'an has returned by himself."
"You say, this time His Royal Highness King Yue will make a strong comeback, will he be interested in that seat?"
"Don't talk rashly, be careful not to protect your head!"
"Hurry up and chase, we must not let these barbarians go back!"
More than a dozen generals talked about it.
The Turkic army was defeated like a mountain, their morale fell to the bottom, and they had no thought of resistance at all, they just wanted to escape, so the generals were also fearless.
At the same time, in the Weishui River in Chang'an, a group of people were running for their lives.
The leader is none other than Jieli Khan.
He was riding a horse, sweating profusely, looking back from time to time, with a nervous expression on his face, so that when the horse was crossing the river, he accidentally fell off the horse and sank into the water.
"Sweat!"
At this time, the Turkic national teacher also looked embarrassed, and rushed over to pull Jieli Khan out of the water.
"Huh...huh..."
Jieli Khan tightly grasped the hand of the Turkic national teacher, with a look of rejoicing: "Thanks to the foresight of the national teacher, let me evacuate early, otherwise I..."
As he spoke, deep fear appeared in his eyes, as if he was recalling the scene on the battlefield just now.
"Khan, now is not the time to talk about this, let's go!"
The Turkic national teacher looked back, with an anxious expression on his face.
When the news of Ashina Diluozhi's death came earlier, he sensed that something was wrong, and he couldn't calm down Xieli.
In desperation, he could only forcibly retreat to the rear of the army with Jieli Khan, and was almost ordered to be dismissed because of this.
Fortunately, he guessed right, the army suffered a devastating blow immediately, and tens of thousands of troops were engulfed in flames.
Frightened, Jieli Khan was trembling with fright, and fled desperately.
After passing the Wei River, Jieli Khan still looked dull, and muttered, "What the hell is that? Could it be that they really can't do witchcraft?"
"Khan, you and I know very well that witchcraft is just a cover to stabilize power. There is no such thing as witchcraft in this world." The Turkic national teacher said with a frown.
"Then what method did Li Xiao use to deal with me just now? There are such heaven-defying methods in the world? How do you explain it?" Jieli Khan asked with a gloomy face.
"This... subordinates don't know."
The Turkic national teacher said thoughtfully: "But... Do you remember the Great Khan? Those Han captives mentioned that there is a sacred object in the Tang Dynasty called burning fire powder, which is a secret weapon to be used against us. "
Jieli Khan nodded and said, "Of course I remember, didn't you say that this fetish was bestowed by heaven?"
"Khan, the army of the imperial court should not be confused with Li Xiao's army. If the imperial court really had this thing, it would have been used long ago. Otherwise, Chang'an would not have been captured so easily by us."
The Turkic State Master looked contemplative, and continued: "My subordinates suspect that this burning fire powder may indeed have such a thing, but the court also has only a half-knowledge. The person who has mastered such fetishes."
"Having said so much, where did this thing come from?" Jieli Khan looked irritable.
"Excavation of ground veins, and things from the Western Regions are all possible!" The Turkic State Master frowned, "Khan, we have too little information."
"Damn it!" Jieli Khan looked unwilling, "When I go back, I must find out what this fire powder is!"
"Big Khan, Li Xiao still has that strange bird that can fly. Sooner or later we will be found." The Turkic State Teacher said, "A hundred feet away from the front left is the forest. Let's go there."
"There will be no ambushes in this forest, right?"
Jieli Khan had some worry on his face.
As soon as the words fell, a group of people came out of the woods.
The leader was none other than Ye Tianchen in armor.
"Hahaha! Your Highness really knows everything like a god, and you really came to your door!"
Ye Tianchen looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, with an excited expression on his face.
The battle ended so quickly that he didn't even have time to make a move.
He won by lying down completely, without any merit at all.
How can this work?
And in front of him, there is a great contribution.
Only by capturing Jieli Khan alive can he live with his face.
"Not good! There are enemies!"
The Turkic national teacher shouted nervously.
The Turkic soldiers who escaped with Jieli Khan touched about a thousand people, and they drew their weapons one after another, as if they were facing a big enemy.
Jieli Khan was also extremely flustered in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "They are only a hundred people, follow me to kill them!"
"Khan, you go first, and the subordinates are dead!"
The Turkic national teacher took the spear from the soldier beside him with a determined look on his face.
Jieli Khan couldn't control that much, and rode away with dozens of people on horseback in another direction.
