The Tibetan cavalry completely dispersed and fled, while the Tang Dynasty's ironclad artillery wagons launched a fierce pursuit behind, like a pack of wolves hunting yellow sheep. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The speed of the ironclad artillery car is much faster than that of the Tubo cavalry, and it can fire cannonballs while pursuing, blocking the retreat of the Tubo cavalry, so that the frightened Tubo horses are forced to turn back, so most of the Tubo cavalry is destined to not escape, and only a few can barely escape.

The bombardment of the artillery and the crushing of the iron wheels made the brave Tibetan cavalry feel the fear of extinction, and they were really powerless in this situation, and there seemed to be no better way than to surrender.

However, at this time, the ironclad artillery car is attacking with all its might, even if they want to surrender, they have no chance, the Tang Dynasty's war knife has been waved, and the Tubo cavalry can only be killed by the neck, this is fate, and the consequences of all this are caused by the wanton provocation of the Tang Empire by some ignorant Tubo nobles, which is the revenge of the Tang Dynasty and the just trial.

Since ancient times, if a strong country wants to maintain its effective rule, it must have a violent machine to deter the world, and at the same time, it must also have the courage to use this violent machine to teach the enemy who dares to invade and teach a harsh lesson, so as to maintain its rule and protect its subjects.

In later generations, the Wa Kingdom was destroyed in two cities, and then honestly respected the people who defeated him, and for Huaxia's Huairou, he was very disdainful, and even, refused to admit the violation of Huaxia, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, this is mainly because the Chinese Empire is too weak to the Wa Kingdom, and weakness will never be exchanged for the slightest respect, the so-called Huairou in the eyes of others, will always be a manifestation of weakness.

There is a well-known saying that if you do not have the ability to put your opponent to death at any time, then tolerance is weakness, and of course, even if you have such ability, but you do not have the courage to use it, or you are unwilling to take revenge on your enemy because of kindness, you are also weak

And weakness always means being bullied, this is the cruel law of nature, natural selection, survival of the fittest, I have seen the wolf eat the sheep, I have never seen the sheep eat the wolf in turn.

If the Tang Empire wants to dominate the world, it must be a wild wolf that has the courage to hunt, and must not be a hypocritical yellow sheep, only the strong can be respected, and the weak will always have the fate of being slaughtered.

The continuous shelling and crushing caused heavy losses to the Tibetan cavalry, and all the corpses of the Tibetan soldiers were all over the mountains, and the dead and dead horses were piled up together, forming a very sad picture.

In this battle, less than one-third of the Tibetan cavalry escaped, and the remaining men and horses were almost all annihilated, and the last wounded and captured soldiers were only a few hundred, and most of them were lightly wounded and uninjured, and the seriously wounded Tubo soldiers had no value of being captured at all, and all of them were directly crushed to alleviate the pain they suffered.

"Before half an hour arrived, most of the 10,000 cavalry in Tubo were annihilated, and my Datang has ironclad artillery vehicles, so why worry about not being able to dominate the world."

Li Yu poked his head out of the ironclad command vehicle, looked at the battlefield in the distance, and said very heroically, the Tang army has achieved such brilliant results, as the emperor and grandson of the Tang Empire, Li Yu is of course very proud.

"Tubo has gathered 300,000 soldiers and horses in Dafeichuan, which is much more than the main army of my Tang Dynasty, but as long as we are stationed near Shibao City, Tubo's 300,000 army will soon be cut off from supplies, so it will be a group of lambs to be slaughtered."

Li An raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Da Fei Chuan, and said confidently.

This battle has fully demonstrated that the flesh and blood of the Tubo cavalry is powerless to fight against the ironclad artillery carriages of the Tang Dynasty, and the 10,000 cavalry is a mess, even if 300,000 go together, it will not be victorious, Shibao City is the bridgehead of the Tubo invasion of the Tang Dynasty, but now, it has also become their burial place.

Of course, even if the Tibetan cavalry was unable to resist the Tang Dynasty's ironclad artillery trucks, Li An still had to arrange for all troops to take turns to be on guard, and replenish the ammunition lost by each ironclad artillery truck, and actively prepare to meet the next round of attacks by the Tubo army.

The hundreds of captured Tibetan cavalry, all tied together with ropes, and guarded by twenty Tang soldiers, the fallen Tibetan soldiers on the battlefield were buried on the spot, and the horses killed in battle were collected first and then cooked, which was the best delicacy and could not be wasted.

Of the 10,000 cavalry in Tibet, less than one-third fled back, and these one-third of the soldiers described the terrible ironclad artillery of the Tang Army, and made the 300,000 Tubo soldiers in the battalion all scared enough.

The Tubo general was also taken aback, which was tantamount to telling him that Shibao City had been captured by the Tang Army, and that the elite troops of the Tang Army had firmly controlled the passage near Shibao City, and no matter how many soldiers and horses he commanded, it was impossible to recapture Shibao City, and in this way, the logistics of the 300,000 army would be gone.

In fact, after understanding the strength of the Tang Empire, most of the Tubo nobles were unwilling to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty, but a few nobles insisted on refusing to recognize the gradual strength of the Tang Empire for the sake of their own interests, and wanted to bring down the Tang Empire.

However, the Tibetan nobles still despise the power of the Tang Empire too much, most of the Tibetan nobles have not been to the Tang Dynasty, and they still lack the most intuitive understanding of the advanced degree of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, in the face of such a critical situation, the generals of Tubo began to have different opinions, some accused some nobles of provoking incidents, causing the current passivity of the Tubo army, and some were extremely emotional, asking for a hard lesson to the Tang army, giving the Tang army a little color to see, some insisted on fighting to the end, and some asked for peace talks, and the Tang Dynasty rebuilt the old friendship, in short, all kinds of opinions filled the high-level generals of Tubo, so that the Tubo generals were quite a headache.

However, any nation has self-esteem, and choosing to surrender when there is still the strength to fight is obviously not in line with the wishes of most Tibetan generals.

Through the description of the soldiers who fled back to Tubo, the Tubo soldiers generally understood the strong combat power of the Datang ironclad artillery car, and immediately felt that even if they tried their best to attack, they might not be able to defeat the Datang ironclad artillery car, and their front was the main force of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and their strength should not be underestimated.

After repeated comparisons, the Tubo soldiers felt that it was more reliable to do their best to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Tang Dynasty, after all, they occupied the advantage of troops, and the main force of the Tang army was not equipped with the terrible ironclad artillery vehicles, and they only needed to defeat the main army of the Tang Dynasty, and they could go down the trend and directly enter Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and rely on robbing the people of the Tang Dynasty all the way to supply supplies.

I have to say that the idea of the Tubo generals is still very good, once this goal is achieved, Li An's troops are also powerless, however, the Tubo generals obviously despise the strength of the main force of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhongsi is now under the command of the Hexi Longyou soldiers and horses, is the elite division of the Tang Dynasty, in addition, there are 20,000 Shuofang elites in this, Wang Zhongsi in order to deal with Tubo, specially transferred from Shuofang, even if Tubo has twice the strength, it is impossible to defeat the Tang Dynasty's more than 100,000 main army, besides, At this time, the main force of the Tang Dynasty has been equipped with a small number of artillery units, and the main artillery force in the capital should also have been reinforced.

The Tibetan generals made a desperate bet to prepare for a decisive battle with the main force of the Tang army, and immediately made preparations in many ways, ready to attack the main force of the Tang army at any time.

There must have been many signs of preparing for battle, and these signs were quickly discovered by the scouts of the Tang army, and immediately reported to the main general Wang Zhongsi, for which Wang Zhongsi immediately began to prepare for battle, preparing to give the Tibetan soldiers and horses a head-on attack.

"Tubo's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and they dare to take the initiative to provoke our Tang Dynasty, they think that they can defeat our army only by relying on a large number of troops, which is simply wishful thinking."

Wang Zhongsi looked at the topographic map in front of him, and said loudly, just from the movement of the Tibetan army, he could judge that the Tibetan army was about to attack him.

"Jie Shuai, there is an important situation, we caught a Tibetan spy, according to what he said, an elite army of our army has captured Shibao City, the Tibetan army sent 10,000 cavalry to help, the losses are extremely heavy, and the logistics of Tubo have been cut off, so we are desperate to fight a decisive battle with the main force of our army as soon as possible."

A general strode into the big tent and reported.

"Okay, that's great, Ben Shuai knows."

Wang Zhongsi was overjoyed, the four artillery brigades reinforced by the imperial court had arrived a few days ago, and brought an important news, that is, the ironclad artillery car troops led by Li An had set off, ready to go to the deserted and dangerous place, and sneak attack on the back of Tubo, and now there is news that Shibao City was captured by the Tang Army, which is enough to prove that this army that attacked Shibao City is the elite army led by Li An.

"Marshal, this elite unit must be the ironclad artillery car unit we have seen! In addition to this army, what other troops can beat the 10,000 cavalry of Tubo like this, haha! ”

"That's right, this elite army is indeed the most elite ironclad artillery car unit in my Tang Dynasty, now, they have firmly controlled Shibao City, and cut off the retreat of the Tubo army, forcing the Tubo army to immediately fight a decisive battle with our army, so that our army can not be in a hurry, immediately send an order to go down, and the army will retreat thirty miles after pulling out the camp."

Wang Zhongsi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and gave the military order to withdraw from the camp.

"The commander is wise, the more anxious Tubo is to find us for a decisive battle, the more we can't be in a hurry, retreat some distances one after another, let Tubo light the enemy, and then set up an ambush to inflict heavy losses on the Tubo army."

The ministry general analyzed.

Wang Zhongsi nodded and said: "Let the army retreat first, how to hit the main force of Tubo hard, this commander still needs to think about it." ”

After the order was issued, the main force of the Tang army began to slowly retreat, and gradually disengaged from the Tibetan army, and this news was discovered by the Tibetan soldiers and immediately reported.

Seeing the retreat of the Tang army, they took it for granted that the Tang army was afraid, so the whole army pressed on and prepared to launch a pursuit battle against the main force of the Tang army.

Wang Zhonghe's main Tang army retreated for more than 100 miles in a row, and finally sent an elite cavalry of more than 10,000 men and horses to engage several times the Tubo cavalry, and after a while, they were defeated.

The Tibetan cavalry won a great victory, overjoyed, and immediately pursued the main force of the Tang army with all their might, and unconsciously entered the encirclement preset by the Tang army, and the four artillery brigades reinforced by the capital were deployed here, and adjusted all the artillery ports, aimed at these pursuing Tibetan soldiers and horses, and a large number of infantry cavalry were also ready to attack at any time.

"Marshal, there are only 100,000 troops chasing after Tubo, and there are 200,000 soldiers and horses behind, do you want to let go of this army and fight the main force behind?"

"No need, these 100,000 cavalry are the main force of Tubo, as long as they are severely damaged, the main force of Tubo will be dispersed, pass on my generals, and immediately open fire."

Wang Zhongsi looked at the main cavalry of Tubo who had entered the encirclement, and decisively gave the order to open fire.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Three hundred cannons roared at the same time, hitting three hundred cannonballs into the Tibetan cavalry, and instantly causing a large number of casualties among the Tibetan cavalry, moreover, these cannonballs were scattered and aimed, some blocked the two ends to prevent the Tibetan cavalry from escaping, and some aimed at the most dense position of the Tibetan cavalry, so as to kill and injure more Tibetan cavalry and inflict heavy losses on the Tibetan army.

The sudden artillery attack made the Tubo cavalry begin to panic, and the main force of the Tang army confronted for many days, and also fought a few battles, but never found that the main force of the Tang army was equipped with artillery weapons.

The continuous artillery bombardment caused heavy losses to the 100,000 cavalry of Tibet, and the most important thing was that the formation was in chaos, and the morale was greatly weakened.

"Stop the shelling, the whole army will attack."

Wang Zhongsi seized the fighter plane, ordered to stop the artillery bombardment, and let the main force of more than 100,000 Tang troops pounce on the Tubo cavalry, which was already in chaos.

"Kill ......"

After a fierce battle, the Tang army won a complete victory, the 100,000 main cavalry of Tubo was severely damaged, more than half of the losses were lost, less than 20,000 soldiers fled, and tens of thousands of Tubo cavalry were captured alive, in short, the Tang army achieved an extremely brilliant victory.
