Chapter 576: Breakout
Xenobud sat under the banner of the Chinese army, wrapped the wounds on his hands, and seriously thought about how to fight this battle. The enemy's tenacity was beyond his imagination, and after fighting this day, the loss made him feel a little distressed. He didn't care how many Han soldiers died, and Zahu didn't care even more. But in this battle, the elite of his headquarters, every time he died, his heart twitched.
They can't run left and right, so it's better to wait for Delhi Chinan to take Muyu City. Although this will make Delhi China look down on himself, it is better than dying here.
Delhi Chinan is the coach, and he should be allowed to gnaw on the hard bones! Now Muyu City is an empty shell, he should have been roasting and drinking in Muyu City by now! The messenger he sent out should also arrive, stay here all night today, and wait until tomorrow Delhi China comes, and then take down these damned Tang troops in one fell swoop.
Xenobud, who was thinking about his thoughts, suddenly heard the sound of a military horn sounding on the other side.
This is the clarion call to assemble and prepare for the attack, although the opponent has only been fighting for a day, Xenobud also knows that whenever this kind of horn sounds, it is the time when the Don army is ready to launch a counterattack.
In the past, they sounded this kind of horn to counterattack when they were besieged, but at this time, their own family did not attack, and when they sounded this horn, there was only one possibility, they wanted to take the initiative to attack.
Or rather, they are ready to break through and escape.
To tell the truth, Xenobud also admired Peng Shuangmu, until now, he had always thought that the commander of the other party should be Peng Shuangmu, the guard of Muyu City.
It was not easy to make this decision, because the army surrounding them outside was several times larger than the defenders, and breaking through was almost a dead end.
But if you don't break through, you will also be too dead to die.
To be killed slowly or to die happily, it seems that Peng Shuangmu chose the latter.
I can't imagine that this general, who sends money and goods to Tubo every year, still has such courage.
But it's okay to leave the well-defended fortress of Kurenbao and choose to fight with the Tubo army in the field, which saved him a lot of trouble, and more than 10,000 people on his side can be killed even if they are piled up.
It also saves Delhi China from laughing at himself afterwards.
He stood up and gave a sharp order.
The infantry formed a thick formation, and the two wings of the cavalry were widely spread, ready to wait for the Tang army to attack the infantry phalanx, and from behind the two wings, completely surround them and then destroy them in one fell swoop.
"Come on, if you want a pleasure, I'll give you a pleasure!" Xenobud got on his horse and stood majestically under the banner of the Chinese army, laughing happily.
Under the bitter fort, the Tang army has been assembled.
At the front, fifty Tang troops led by Li Hai were already ready for everything, each with a cloth bag wrapped around their waists, which contained fierce fire bombs, and in their left hand, a blazing torch. They were responsible for throwing fire bombs to clear the way for the army.
The current fierce fire bomb can only be regarded as a primary product, although Li Ze's room fire pig has made gunpowder, but the power is only limited to what kind of swarm bees, the level of the monkey in the sky, it is okay to be scary, but it is not okay to hurt people.
The only thing that made Li Ze happy was that they made a barely qualified lead, which made the power of the fierce fire bomb go up a level, and when it was thrown, the time of the explosion could be calculated, so as to maximize the power.
Of course, such people also need to go through rigorous training.
Behind them were fifty intact chariots, the original horse-drawn carriages that looked harmless to humans and animals, first turned into a defensive fortress, and now turned into offensive weapons, and those craftsmen of Texas, for this purpose, this thing was built with great painstaking efforts, although it was the first time to set foot on the battlefield, but it had begun to show its hideousness. Even the war horse of the trailer was blindfolded at this moment, and the head was covered with protective gear, and the sharp spear that poked out before the protective gear was daunting.
Fifty chariots were followed by nearly two thousand foot soldiers.
The cavalry, which was already less than a thousand men, stood on both sides of the army in two ways, and at this moment they all tightly stuffed the ears of their horses.
If it is not blocked, the loud sound of the explosion of the fierce fire bomb will make these war horses who have never seen the world blow up their nests.
Yuan Changquan stood on top of one of the carriages, looked at Zhou's everyone, and arched his hand and said: "Brothers, come on, after passing this level, we will eat and drink spicy food in the future!" ”
A roar of laughter rang out.
The confidence and relaxation of the generals are also infecting the Tang army around them, although they are facing enemies several times their size, they seem to be full of confidence to kill out.
"Let's go!" Yuan Chang pulled out his horizontal knife and shouted loudly.
Several trumpets sounded at the same time, and Li Hai took the lead in rushing out, followed by fifty grenadiers.
Thousands of Tang troops, shouting in unison, rushed forward like a sea of mountains.
In the formation of the Tibetan army, the sound of war drums sounded intensively, and the cavalry on both wings destroyed the war horses and quickly closed towards the middle.
Li Hai stuck the torch on the sloping bridge of the saddle, pulled out the Heavenly Punishment Bow, and tied a fierce fire oil bomb to the arrow. The arrow sank slightly, lit the fuse above the torch, and in the whistling green smoke, Li Hai shouted lowly, and the bow flew out like a full moon.
The arrows were like lightning, and a Tibetan officer who poked his head out from behind the big shield to command fell to the sky, but what was even more terrifying was the loud sound like thunder that followed.
Countless porcelain pieces splashed away, and in the interlayer of the porcelain bottle, small iron beads bounced away at an invisible speed, and in an instant, a large piece of the ground where the explosion occurred was conveniently lying down, and some people were screaming and jumping around, and the originally strict formation was instantly chaotic.
Xenobud was also confused by this loud noise, and before he could figure out the situation, explosions began one after another, and the shield wall of the Tibetan army collapsed in an instant. The wails rang out, and countless Tubo troops fell, and the thin leather armor on them could not resist those sharp porcelain pieces and tiny iron beads, and what they were even more afraid of was the thunderous sound of the sky.
After a sound, his ears buzzed, and he couldn't hear anything, and he couldn't put out the fire when he saw it starting, and he couldn't put it out, and he couldn't calm down anymore when he saw the fire burning on him, and he heard his muscles squeak.
The chariot of the Tang army plunged headlong into the crack.
The horses of the trailer were deaf and blindfolded, unable to hear or see, and could only rely on instinct and let the riders of the cart drive them forward.
Yuan Chang laughed.
He saw that the spear on the head of his war horse stabbed a Tibetan soldier in front of him, and he ran forward with him, running many steps, and felt extremely uncomfortable, so the war horse shook its head and shook off the long-dead Tibetan soldier.
He saw that the sharp blades on the axle of the car easily cut off the legs of the Tibetan soldiers in the high-speed rotation, and the enemy with the broken legs rolled on the ground, wailing.
He grasped the handrail of the carriage tightly with one hand so that he would not be thrown off by the bumpy carriage, and with the other he brandished a horizontal knife that he could reach as long as he could reach it.
The wounded soldiers, who were lying or sitting in the carriage, stared wide-eyed, and from time to time poked their spears out of the carriage, and when they were withdrawn, they were often stained with blood.
The sound of explosions continued to be heard.
The cavalry on both flanks of Xenobud blew up as Yuan Chang and the others expected.
At the beginning on the banks of the Yishui River, Yi Hai had seen with his own eyes how Zhang Zhongwu's 20,000 cavalry were shocked by the sound of explosions.
Xenobud's horse was pulled down again, and he stood a little stupidly under the banner of the Chinese army, looking at his own army, and in an instant he was defeated.
The enemy's chariots were rampant, the enemy's cavalry was slaughtering, and the enemy's foot soldiers were like a sharp blade, cutting a huge wound in the middle of their troops.
What was even more unacceptable to him was that the armies on both sides were fleeing.
They were simply scared.
It was the first time that a fire bomb had exploded in their heads, and before, such a loud sound could only be seen when God was angry overhead.
But that doesn't do real harm.
Li Hai aimed at the banner of the Chinese army.
With a whoosh, a sharp arrow with a fierce fire bullet slashed through the sky and landed accurately on the flagpole.
The sound of explosions rang out.
Several of Xenobud's guards pounced on a tiger, and some of their confused generals fell down, and the banner of the Chinese army fell down violently, pressing on these people, and the backs of several guards were blurred with blood, and they ate this heavy banner and pressed it, and suddenly blood spurted wildly in their mouths, and they couldn't live when they saw it.
The fall of the banner of the Chinese army hastened the rout of Xenobud's army.
The road to a breakthrough appeared before the Don Army.
"Don't fall in love, speed up the disengagement!" After finally cutting down a Tibetan army with his own hands, Yuan Chang's head was finally liberated from the frenzy of battle, and he shouted loudly, crushing the trumpeters on the side, and blowing the horn to break through.
Sooner or later, the enemy will wake up, especially the panicked horses and the Tibetan cavalry scurrying all over the ground.
The Tang army was like a torrent that escaped from the gate, leaking through the Tubo army. Left a messy battlefield behind.
The sky slowly darkened, and the Tang army, which had been running wildly for more than ten miles, could no longer hear and see the enemy, and the exhausted soldiers bent over, held their knees, and breathed in the air like fish on the shore.
"Don't stop, go forward, don't stop, go forward!" Li Hai and Tang Ji galloped back and forth in the ranks, shouting and urging the soldiers who wanted to stop and rest.
"Let the soldiers throw away some of their goods." Yuan Chang, who was sitting in the carriage, said weakly.
He wasn't tired, but he was thrown up all the way by the carriage.
