Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth chapter announced to the public
The first battle was won, and the two battles in one day costed more than 40,000 Turkic horses, almost half of the total force heading south. Such a record shocked the soldiers on both sides.
The Turks were frightened and full of confusion and fear for the thunder that shocked the sky.
The soldiers of Dahua were very excited and were curious and excited about the endless weapons of the imperial court.
Luo Zhaoyun ordered the withdrawal of troops, returned to the camp to rest, rectify the army and horses, leaving some people to sort out the battlefield, and bring back the uninjured war horses and back to the camp.
Some of the wounded and wailed Turkic soldiers shot directly to prevent them from suffering and would not spend their energy to treat them.
When the Tang army and Liang army looked from behind, they were confused and puzzled when they saw the Turkic Iron Cavalry defeated again. Why did the Turkic Iron Cavalry be so majestic and mighty, so why did they suffer from Dahua twice?
Originally, they felt that after the three-party coalition, strong troops would definitely bring overwhelming advantages to Dahua and defeat Dahua's army. The result was contrary to their wishes. The first day of the confrontation ended in a crushing defeat.
"What's going on? What weapons can Dahua have? It can be like a shocking thunder, blowing the Turkic cavalry into blood and blood, and it will collapse without fighting."
"It's deafening, like a wave of thunder, landing in the sky!"
Some Tang and Liang generals fell into suspicion and felt pressure and fear in their hearts.
They had no idea what kind of weapons Dahua had, which could have such lethality. When the Liang army confronted each other and such thunderous weapons landed, their army would be defeated.
For a time, there was a layer of haze in the Liang army and the Tang army's barracks. Even the Turks began to become unconfident.
In fact, the Dahua Army’s Shenji Camp does not store much black gunpowder. In this era, it is difficult to achieve mass production. There is insufficient supply in all aspects. There are certain difficulties in finding and mining of nitr, carbon, and sulfide.
Luo Zhaoyun returned to the camp and summoned civil servants and military generals to the same party. Seeing many people's expressions of questioning but not daring to ask, he couldn't help but feel funny. Now this is no longer a secret, so he began to briefly introduce it to everyone.
"Today's powerful weapon to break the Turkic Republic, called black gunpowder, was the prototype of crude gunpowder that I accidentally invented several years ago. Then I was anxious to develop together with the flint craftsmen. Finally, I successfully developed black gunpowder last year. It has the power of blasting, can explode city gates and strong objects, and can also bomb the enemy." Luo Zhaoyun explained.
"Black gunpowder!" Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, Du Ruhui, Chen Yu, Qu Tutong and others were all surprised, chewing the name and were amazed.
"With this weapon, no wonder Your Majesty is confident." Many people suddenly realized.
Luo Zhaoyun continued to explain: "This is my secret weapon of Dahua. It can't be imitated for at least a few years. Unless you get spot stock, find someone to study the matching, or find out from my Shenji Camp, then, in the world and the princes fighting for hegemony, only my Dahua soldiers have this huge weapon. But with the technology now, it is impossible to mass-produce on a large scale, so in the end, it is not enough to rely solely on erotic skills, and it also requires thousands of soldiers to fight. To appease a region, it is even more difficult to conquer with force, but rely on benevolent government and the hearts of the people."
"Your Majesty said very much that fighting the world depends on force, and pacifying the local government depends on benevolent politics. Dahua has both killing weapons such as black gunpowder and a kind king like Your Majesty. I believe that the unification of the world in the future will be completed by my Dahua." Du Ruhui took the opportunity to praise him.
"Your Majesty is wise!" All the other civil officials and military generals were tactful and followed them to congratulate.
Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly and said, "The next thing is how to resist the joint attack of the three armies, and then concentrate the troops to eliminate one, and the other two will inevitably retreat."
Guo Xiaoke said: "Your Majesty, why are we afraid of the three-way coalition forces attacking this? The Turks lost more than 40,000 cavalry, only half of which were left. It is probably already panicked. Although the Liang State has a large number of troops, there is no elite force and weak combat power. The Tang army led more than 30,000 people from Yin Kaishan, and the main force was in the area of Meicheng, led by Zhang Zhenzhou, and was competing with two generals, Lai Huer and Hou Junji."
Luo Zhaoyun said: "Don't be careless. Our black gunpowder is limited and cannot be used infinitely. It can only be used in critical moments. Temporarily confront the enemy, then find an opportunity to attack the Liang army camp at night and blow up the Liang army's granary. This will hit the morale of the Liang army. Among the three armies, the troops in the Liang army's capital have the worst combat effectiveness and the lowest quality, but the number of people is the largest, and it is a piece of fat meat to be cut."
Xue Wanren volunteered to say, "I am willing to lead troops to attack the Liang army camp at night."
"Don't worry, after a few days, we will decide again according to the situation!" Luo Zhaoyun did not immediately allow, and wanted to observe the enemy's movements.
............
Turkic camp.
Chi Ji was in his big tent with a gray face. Today, he was defeated, not only felt ashamed, but also felt a little scared.
He has always been a character of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When he commanded 100,000 soldiers, he felt that he could break through the Central Plains and sweep across Dahua, and was full of confidence. However, after two battles today, 40,000 cavalry were killed and injured. Those grassland athletes died tragically, which made him feel angry and helpless.
Especially Dahua's thunderstorm weapons made him afraid. If he hadn't been a little cautious at that time and had not rushed over directly with the first wave of soldiers, his fate would probably be like the left general Habiru, who died in the explosion of the chaos and was smashed to pieces.
"There are less than 60,000 soldiers, and they are also war-weary. They are very resistant to weapons like Dahua and are unwilling to fight Dahua." Right General Tuoba Gu sighed so hard.
Chi Jixin was unwilling to say, "What's going on? Is Dahua invincible?"
Tuoba Gu analyzed: "There are too many legends about the Emperor Luo Cheng of Dahua. In the past ten years, it can be said that the Central Plains is the most famous. King of Continuing the Chaos, Pacifying Tuyuhun, Fighting Liaodong, Resolving the Yanmen Siege, Passing the Hexi Corridor, Retreating Tubo, etc. These are the fame that came out of the battle. We are not convinced of that area, but these military achievements cannot be erased. Our opponent is too strong. Now, as the king, we have developed this mysterious killing weapon, which has the power of thunder and cannot be hostile."
A Turkic adviser, Zhemaganye, said: "I don't believe that there will be countless things like them. If they can be used all the time, we can rely on the advantage of cavalry to disperse the impact. In addition, the army of Liang and the Tang army can explore the way in the front and we charge behind. In this way, our army will suffer less casualties and will also give Dahua a fierce attack."
