Chapter 19: The Bloody Battle of Xingshui

After Pei Min cut off the last Tubo soldier who landed in the city with a sword, he shouted: "Thrower, pour oil!" Archers, ignition! ā€

Hot oil poured down from the city, followed by lit rockets and hay, and the city turned into a sea of scarlet fire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Because of the arrival of the city, the Tibetan soldiers gathered under the city and gathered together.

Some agile Tibetan soldiers were lucky enough to crawl and dodge, but they couldn't avoid most of them being wrapped in them, and the screams were endless. More than 500 remaining soldiers rushed out of the flames, all on fire, struggling to flee back, some of them were knocked down by the bows and arrows of the city, and some of them fell to the ground in the middle of the run, and let the flames envelop their bodies and burn them alive.

The battlefield was filled with a scorching smell.

In the sea of fire under the opposite city, Tubo finally stopped the offensive.

Pei Min also breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that Tubo would have such a hand, the well-trained soldiers who climbed the city, the level of climbing the ladder in the city was not at the same level as ordinary soldiers, and they went to the city in one go.

But luckily he has his ladder over the wall!

At the moment when Tubo landed in the city, he immediately transferred the mercenaries.

Mercenaries are not of much use in the defense of the city, and their individual combat effectiveness is indeed strong, but when it comes to cooperating and obeying orders, they are far inferior to Tang soldiers. Defending the city requires cooperation, not individual combat effectiveness. For some reason, the mercenaries have been on standby near the Urn City, waiting to be deployed.

The Tibetan army climbed the city wall, and this was the time to show the value of mercenaries.

Pei Min didn't want the tired Tang army to make more sacrifices, so he directly transferred the mercenaries.

The mercenaries also reflected the quality of their individual combat effectiveness, and like the evil wolves, they left all the Tibetan soldiers who climbed the city to the top of the city.

The city was full of joy and morale.

The fire gradually went out, and at this time the siege equipment was destroyed, and although the Tibetan army was large and large, it was difficult to organize a decent offensive for a while. Pei Min was also relieved, and seized the time to fill his stomach, biting the stewed mutton in his mouth, but his eyes fell on the mercenary, thoughtfully.

Longzhou Xingyuan Xingshui bank.

The commander of the Tibetan Governor, Bi Folu, sat naked on a boulder by the river, just a pair of pants, wet, obviously just out of the water.

"What the hell!" Bi Fu Lu rubbed his hand on the fan roughly, and cursed in his mouth.

Commander Taber couldn't help but say: "Everything is good in the Tang Dynasty, it's just too hot...... Lives...... Hey, what's that? He set up a pergola with his hands, and saw several Tibetan rangers running over from afar, holding a flag high in their hands, waving their unique Tibetan flags.

"It's my own!" Bifer understood the meaning of the flag and waved his hand for the ranger to come closer and speak.

"General Biferre!" came to ride a military salute and said: "Commander Lana hopes to get the help of the general, the Tang Vanguard Army has passed through Yongxian County, Qizhou, and is heading to Xingyuan." ā€

Bi Fulu was furious when he heard this, and the horsewhip was whipped on the head. With a "snap", he only felt a sharp pain in his cheeks, and the pain in his ears throbbed, his head was dizzy, he was unsteady on his feet, and he fell heavily involuntarily.

"Fuck, what Lana eats. In just a few days, the Tang vanguard army passed through Yongxian. The marshal's request is that it cannot be fifty miles a day, and this is a hundred miles. Bi Folu is excellent in martial arts, fierce and unruly, and has a nickname "vulture" in Tibet, flattering to the top, but rough to the bottom, often beating and scolding, and never reasonable. But he was fierce and warlike, but his military exploits were brilliant, and he was very valued by the Tubo Marshal Kun Dayan.

Laiqi had already been mentally prepared to be beaten, and he didn't dare to touch his wounds, so he struggled to get up and said: "The Tang vanguard army is very powerful, they have 8,000 people, and Commander Lana attacked three times, but they didn't take advantage of the slightest advantage, and they lost a lot of soldiers and horses. ā€

"Phew!" Bi Fulu spat disdainfully: "No matter how powerful General Tang is, how powerful can he be?" Don't make excuses for your incompetence...... "These days, he has been wandering in Longzhou, sweeping villages and counties, plucking geese, and he has gained a little. None of the Tang soldiers who lived in the city had the courage to come out to fight, and for the Tang army, he now despised it from the bottom of his heart, and kicked it away and rode away: "Look upset, let him come and join me, and Lao Tzu will go to meet the 'powerful' pioneer to ride and see how great it is!" ā€

Panshi County.

Wang Haibin looked at the topographic map of Longzhou and counted some things in his heart.

"Brother Wang!" A young colonel strode to Wang Haibin and said, "The bridge has been repaired and can be passed by the army." ā€

"Well done!" Wang Haibin put away the topographic map and said, "Let's go directly to Xingyuan and go up the ...... along the source water."

Xiao Xiaoxiao's face was speechless and stopped, very unconvinced, and he didn't dare to speak. His name is Zhang Lan, and he turned out to be a pawn of Feng Anjun who was waiting for death, but under the influence of Wang Haibin, he became an ambitious teenager and Wang Haibin's deputy. In his eyes, Wang Haibin was brave and strategic, and he was one of the best heroes in the world.

It's just that in the past few days, he has been really aggrieved in his heart, and Tubo has attacked them three times in a row, but he has not begged for benefits. These three times there were obvious opportunities to pursue, but Wang Haibin unusually stopped them, obviously they were good at fighting at close range, but they had to let them use northern horses and crossbows to guerrilla, and let Tubo retreat calmly.

Wang Haibin patted Zhang Lan's shoulder and said, "What's the hurry, how can that bit of meat be enough for us to eat?" Wait, it's going to be a tough battle. ā€

Zhang Lan looked at Wang Haibin, who was full of confidence, and shouted in a low voice: "Brother Wang, this is trying to swallow the Tubo Youyi Army in one bite?" ā€

Wang Haibin shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not so big-hearted, I can't eat three ways, but two ways are still okay...... We don't have that big face either, let them deal with us in three ways. ā€

Dawn.

On the banks of Xingshui!

The rising sun shy showed half of its face, and in the early morning of summer, the sky and the earth were also white, without wind and fog, and even a little stuffy!

The heavy and chaotic sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground shook Xingshui like a war drum, making the surface of Xingshui tremble and ripple.

The cavalry rode up and rushed over. Despite being the vanguard of only 4,000 men, the loose lineup, billowing smoke and loud shouts made them look like a flood.

Wang Haibin squinted his eyes and said to Zhang Lan: "Act according to the plan!" I'm going to give them a little bit of color and see. After my cavalry goes into battle, this place will be handed over to you. ā€

Zhang Lan patted his chest, looking resolute.

Wang Haibin waved his big hand, and with the dull and dense sound of war drums, hundreds of flags at the head of the formation waved, and two thousand elite horsemen roared up to meet them.

The two vanguard forces are lightning close!

Wang Haibin whistled!

Two thousand cavalrymen crawled on horseback, and instantly accelerated their charge.

Almost at the same time, the arrows of the Tibetan cavalry had already attacked.

The sound of whistling arrows echoed throughout the battlefield, and the vanguard led by Wang Haibin rushed out of the range of arrows first, and less than 100 people were hit by arrows. Precautions were taken in advance, most of the arrowmen were in vests, they had leather armor to protect themselves, although they were injured, they were not fatal, and they still had the strength to fight.

A round of arrows fell, and Wang Haibin's cavalry only lost three people...... They were unlucky, and the horses were so badly wounded that they fell to the ground.

Wang Haibin's cavalry are all meandering war horses, and the biggest feature of the meandering war horses is strong explosiveness, short-distance sprints, unparalleled in the world.

With the essence of the Tibetan cavalry, the cavalry facing Wang Haibin did not have time to shoot the second round.

After a few breaths, the elite cavalry of the Tang army was fiercely wedged into the Tibetan cavalry, and large pieces of blood and corpses fell from the horses to the ground, and were immediately trampled into flesh by countless war horses.

The collision of the two cavalry teams, the Tang army took the initiative with the advantage of destroying the withered and decaying.

Wang Haibin knocked his feet on the horse's belly, and the horse lance in his hand fell, and the huge horse lance pierced the chest of a Tubo soldier in front of him, lifted him up with one hand, and threw him forward violently, smashing the six or seven cavalry in front of him off the horse.

In the distance, Bi Folu looked at the battlefield with an embarrassed face, his face twitched, and he scolded: "Lana damn it......" He got the news that the Tang cavalry rode a northland horse, running like flying. Where is this Northern Horse, it is obviously a Hequ Horse!

The explosive power of the Hequ horse is far from being comparable to the military horses of their guerrilla army, which is comparable to the assault, how can they be the opponent of the Tang Army riding the Hequ war horse.

No hesitation!

Bi Folu shouted: "Tai Bo, Moer, you each lead five thousand horsemen, go around left and right, destroy the six thousand foot soldiers behind the Tang army, surround him, Lao Tzu will stomp on him!" ā€

With his order, 10,000 horsemen made a detour left and right, sweeping across the riverbank and grassland like a whirlwind, and killing the Tang army in a roundabout way.

Three hundred, two hundred and fifty, two hundred, two hundred, one hundred and fifty steps......

The two armies are getting together!

Suddenly, one by one, the elite Tibetan cavalry rolled to the ground inexplicably, fell off their horses, wailing and crying.

Where they rolled, there was blood, and the blackened thistles on the green-haired grass were bubbling with scarlet blood.

Shoot!

Zhang Lan looked at the Tubo cavalry who had been messed up viciously, and licked his lips!

The four thousand Tang troops, who were armed with strong crossbows, pulled the bracket machine.

Wang Haibin heard the miserable screams behind him, and shouted loudly to the soldiers he had trained with one hand: "Soldiers, follow me to charge in that direction!" ā€

As he spoke, he pointed with a spear, and that was where the Tubo Daxu was.

Tribulus terrestris was sprinkled after his attack, and the word "retreat" didn't even come to his mind.

Either you die, or you don't rush!

Waving the giant horse lance, Wang Haibin roared and urged the horse forward, forcibly separating the waves of flesh and blood of the Tubo army, and the autumn wind swept through the encirclement like falling leaves, pointing directly at the Tubo Daxu!

In the battle of Xingshui, Wang Haibin fought a bloody battle of 13,000 Tubo Guyi Army with 8,000 Tang Army, and broke the crowd, Longzhou and Qizhou Prefecture, and did not see a single soldier of the Tubo Guerrilla Army!
