The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

The Byzantine army was completely in chaos. No one had ever experienced this kind of explosion. The panic it caused spread like a plague among the army. The psychological defenses of all the soldiers had been completely destroyed, and everyone screamed in panic. He ran backwards, trying to escape from this death zone.

But there are explosive barrels everywhere under their feet! There is no way to escape!

The border defenders' attack with thunderbolt bombs was just a prelude. They did not intend to kill many enemy troops with thunderbolt bombs. Their real purpose was to detonate the explosive barrels!

"How can it be! what on earth is it!"

Yang Chao swayed slightly, almost losing his balance and collapsing to the ground, but his face still turned extremely pale.

Shouldn't the killer weapon of the Tang Dynasty army be the Sixth Company Crossbow? How did these explosions occur!

Short In a short period of time, the army's casualties exceeded 100,000! But the explosions on the battlefield still did not stop!

Yang Chao's face became paler, and a cruel look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said angrily:"Send the order! Keep rushing! Can't go back! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

Even in panic, he still keenly discovered one thing, that is, there was no more explosion in the land after the explosion. They could only have a chance of survival if they continued to rush over!

But the speed of the explosion far exceeded the speed at which his order could be conveyed. , and suddenly a group of defenders came out from behind the army, throwing thunder bombs at their rear! There was another series of explosions, and the explosive barrels buried behind the army were also detonated, and they exploded in a chain towards the front. The formation behind the army There was chaos in an instant, with countless casualties.

The retreat was completely blocked, and the Byzantine army had no way to escape!

Yang Chao stood alone on the chariot, and the subordinates around him had fled in fear, and he was the only one left. One person.

The overall situation has been decided.

Before being engulfed by the flames of the explosion, Yang Chao stared at the unreachable, insurmountable city wall like a natural chasm, and roared:"I am not willing to accept it.——！！"

The next moment, a series of explosions overwhelmed him.

This earth-shattering explosion lasted for three sticks of incense. After the last explosive barrel exploded, all that was left was silence and corpses on the ground.

After the smoke dissipated, the defenders on the city wall looked at the empty battlefield. The 300,000 troops that existed before had now become corpses and broken limbs all over the ground. Not many were even whole corpses.

Many defenders stared at this scene blankly. Even if it was caused by their own hands, it still made them feel a bit unrealistic.

The 300,000 troops...are just gone?

This is 300,000 people! Even if you stand in front of them and stick out your neck for them to kill, it will take several hours!

"This can no longer be regarded as a war. The Sixth Battery Crossbow is really just a toy compared to this.……"

One general muttered to himself that he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if this weapon were used on them... Just thinking about it made him feel scared.

Not only these generals and soldiers, but also Li Jing was shocked by the terrifying power of gunpowder. After a long time, he came back to his senses and ordered with a complicated expression:"When the army goes out of the city to clean the battlefield, remember to dig holes and bury all the corpses. Stop causing the plague"

"yes!"

The generals ordered, but after taking a look at the battlefield, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

There was no need to dig holes. The entire battlefield was full of bombed holes and floating soil.

This victory... was really too easy. Got it

……

……

The great victory on the northern front was not unique. Such scenes were also staged on the northwest and southwest fronts.

The armies of the Dashi Kingdom, the Persian Empire, the Rong Dynasty, and Koguryo were all without exception. After being introduced into the death zone where the defenders had planted explosives in advance, all the armies were blown up, leaving no intact corpses.

Even if there were survivors, they were captured or killed under the sweep of the defenders.

……

……

In 662 AD, a million-strong coalition of five countries attacked the Tang Dynasty and destroyed all the Tang Dynasty's northwest, northern and southwest border passes.

This battle severely dampened the vitality of all countries and became a turning point in Datang's counterattack against the five countries. Datang took a big step forward on the road to becoming the most powerful country.

……

……

The news of the destruction of the millions of armies of the Five Kingdoms was quickly transmitted back to Chang'an through the Shadow Guard's intelligence system.

The officials in the court were excited and overjoyed, but Li Changqing took it calmly and was not surprised by the result.

It is no exaggeration to say that this victory was within his expectation. In order to prepare so much gunpowder, the manpower and material resources he used were terrifying, which directly made the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who had always been wealthy, anxious. The Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs I was so angry that I almost crashed to death in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the marshal asked his subordinates to tell you that the power of gunpowder is too terrifying. I hope your Majesty can strictly control it and never let lawless people use it to cause chaos, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

The shadow guard continued.

After Li Jing saw the power of gunpowder with his own eyes, he was extremely wary of it. The role this thing can play on the battlefield is too terrible.

Li Changqing nodded and said:"I naturally know that I can order the army. Master, please return to the court. Everyone has contributed a lot to the fight against the Five Nations Allied Forces. I must reward the three armies well!"

After hearing this, the ministers in the palace wanted to say something, but they stopped talking.

"Changqing, this time the Five Kingdoms invaded the Tang Dynasty, I think it is not enough to simply destroy their armies, and we should take this opportunity to launch a counterattack."

Li Xiuning said suddenly, his jade face full of coldness.

Many ministers' eyes lit up and they all said:

"That's right, those foreign barbarians dare to offend our Tang Dynasty Tianwei, and we must give them the most violent revenge!"

"I second the motion! If I don't teach them a lesson, they will think that I, the Tang Dynasty, can be bullied!"

"Raise troops to counterattack the five countries!"

……

……

At this time, all the ministers, without exception, sounded the voice of war.

Li Changqing smiled lightly and said:"I will never forget the counterattack. It won't be too late to reward the three armies and build up morale before raising troops to counterattack. My dear friends, why should you be in a hurry?"

"Let them live a little longer, and one day I will be my own charioteer, marching my army westward, and conquering Europe, Asia, and Africa!"
