Chapter 543: Beacon Fire (2)
The range of the needle gun is much farther than that of the bow and crossbow, and the power is much greater, but it is not without weaknesses, that is, it cannot be bent to shoot, and it is naturally impossible to hit the target hiding behind the obstacle, although the artillery can be, the problem is that although the artillery at this time has been manufactured, but because the quality of the steel is not too hard, the volume and weight of the artillery are too large, if it is a flat march, it is better, with the horse-drawn people pushing, it can still be moved, and this time it is a forced march over the mountains and mountains, The artillery battalion is still advancing with difficulty between the mountain roads, but it is difficult to say when it will arrive, at least it is impossible to rush to the battlefield within today, just relying on the needle gun to confront the turtle formation of the Tubo army, it is obviously a situation of loss, and when the battle is not long, nearly 30 soldiers of the pioneer battalion have fallen from arrows, and the battle situation has reached a critical juncture for the pioneer battalion.
"Get on the bayonet!"
In fact, in terms of infantry tactics, in the first brigade, he is also the number one figure.
"Click, click......"
The battalion commander had an order, and all the soldiers of the pioneer battalion did not dare to slack off, and they all pulled out their bayonets from their waists with a brush, and buckled them at the muzzle of their guns.
"When the two armies meet, the brave wins, rush!"
Seeing that the Tubo army was getting closer and closer, Lu Sansheng didn't dare to hesitate at all, raised the spear in his hand, roared, jumped on the stone wall that was not too high in a few steps, jumped down, and took a big step and rushed towards the Tubo army.
"Datang is mighty, Datang is mighty!"
After several days of marching and attrition, coupled with a day of bloody fighting, the vanguard battalion with a full strength of 366 people was only more than 270 at this time, and the loss was more than one-third, and although the Tubo army that came up was devastated, there were still more than 1,300 people, and the comparison of troops was very different, but the soldiers of the vanguard battalion did not have the slightest fear, regardless of the attack of the roaring arrows, roared the battle horn, and brazenly launched a decisive counter-charge.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The Tubo army didn't expect that the vanguard battalion with so few troops would dare to break out of the stone wall, and it was all chaotic for a while - the reason why the Tubo army put the assault team at the end was that it planned to use the giant shield soldiers and crossbowmen to consume the living force of the pioneer battalion first, and then launch an assault when it had to advance to the vicinity of the stone wall. Not only now, but also hindered the commando team from coming forward to meet the battle, as soon as this situation came out, the commander of the personal guard in charge of the command of the thousand households Ma Xin Ciji Ke was anxiously red-eyed, and roared and ordered the crossbowmen who were in a mess to get out of the way.
"Those who stand in the way, kill, kill, kill the Tang thief!"
Seeing that the crossbowmen in front of him could not give way, he no longer hesitated, roared, and slashed his own crossbowmen who retreated to the side to the ground, and led the assault team to rush into the chaos regardless of the ground, and strangled the soldiers of the ** pioneer battalion who came to the front, but seeing that the guns were like dragons, the swords were light, and the two armies were inseparable.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Lu Sansheng is brave by nature, and has the reputation of "desperate Saburo" in the army, this time he saw blood, and he was even more crazy, but he saw that he roared again and again, and the spear in his hand sometimes stabbed, sometimes provoked, and sometimes smashed across the handle of the gun, like a mad tiger rushing back and forth in the chaotic army, not counting, there were more than a dozen unjust souls under the gun.
"Battalion commander, be careful!"
Lu Sansheng rushed bravely and fiercely, and naturally attracted the care of many Tubo soldiers, even if his martial arts are good, but he is not a very top master, in this kind of chaotic army, how can it be possible to do a drop of water, just when he shot and killed a burly Tubo soldier, but did not notice that there were two Tubo soldiers behind him had rushed to the vicinity, two cold and shining knives crossed to Lu Sansheng's shoulders, and Lu Sansheng wanted to hide, it was too late, he was in a hurry, but he heard a loud roar, Immediately, a person crashed into Lu Sansheng's body with all his strength, and the huge impact instantly knocked Lu Sansheng to the side.
"Du Gaoshan, ah......, bastard! Take your life! ”
Lu Sansheng was extraordinary in the end, although he was knocked and rolled to the ground, but he quickly stabilized his figure, looked back, and found that it was the communication soldier Du Gaoshan who saved his life, and Du Gaoshan himself was split into four pieces by two big knives, his heart hurt, his eyes instantly became bloodshot and red, and he roared angrily, waved the spear in his hand, and a full-strength stab killed one of the two plotters on the spot, and then did not pull out the gun, raised his foot and kicked, kicked the other person to the ground, and let go of the handle of the gun. He threw himself into the arms of the struggling Tibetan soldiers, and wrestled with them.
"Okay, good, Sasse, bring your men on board, ready for reinforcements!"
Although the impact of the officers and soldiers of the vanguard battalion was fierce, they did kill the Tibetan army by surprise at the beginning, and achieved a lot of results, but the troops were too few, with the arrival of the Tibetan commando, the momentum of the impact was contained, and a big melee came down, but was at a disadvantage, as soon as this situation came out, Gar Mosodo, who was watching the battle at the bottom of the mountain, was overjoyed, and screamed excitedly, and ordered the general Saselle soldiers to step forward, intending to take this opportunity to rush to the top of the mountain in one fell swoop.
"Woo, woo, woo......"
Gar Mosodo's abacus was very loud, but unfortunately he was too happy, and before the reinforcements of the Tubo army moved forward, a terrible horn suddenly sounded, hundreds of Tang officers and soldiers in green uniforms had rushed out of the stone wall with their guns shouted, and slaughtered into the chaotic army like a tiger descending the mountain, sweeping down like a huge wave, and instantly rushed the Tubo army that was fighting endlessly with the vanguard battalion, and it was the second and third battalions of the first regiment that were dispatched!
"Block, block, don't mess around, don't retreat!"
Ma Xin Ciji was originally immersed in the joy of being able to crush the pioneer battalion, but unfortunately this mood did not last long, as the first regiment of the whole army into battle, the Tubo army has been completely defeated, so anxious that Ma Xin Ciji roared again and again, and killed several routs who tried to escape one after another, in order to stabilize the position.
"Bah, Bah, Bah!"
Fight bayonets are bayonets, but it doesn't mean that the needle gun can't shoot, Ma Xin Ciji's exquisite general armor is too conspicuous, plus it shouted and commanded in the chaos of the army, how can it not attract the focus of the first officers and soldiers, just when Ma Xin Ciji shouted, three gunshots rang out, three bullets have been shot into his head with high-speed rotation, poor Ma Xin Ciji didn't even have time to react, and he was shot in the head.
"It's over, it's all over, pounce on ......"
Under the impact of the officers and soldiers of the first regiment, the Tibetan army was already unable to support it, and then saw that the main general was dead, how could they still have the courage to fight again, they all lost their armor and fled down the mountain, and the offensive disappeared since then......
Ugly three moments, the night is already very deep, the wind is not small, it was originally a big wind in the Datong River valley swept like a wave, swinging a burst of wind howling like a ghost crying wolf, stimulating the sentries on the wall of the military village The eardrums are all painful, the sky is dark, and the five fingers are not visible, Rao is a group of light and dark sentinels are considered to be loyal to their duties, but it is difficult to find that only sixty zhang away from the military village, a black-clothed army that sneaked in at some point is looking at the wall that has lit up several dead wind lanterns.
"Up!"
A burly man in the black-clothed army, who was obviously the commander, carefully observed for a long time, and saw that everything was normal in the military village, obviously did not find that his army had sneaked to the vicinity, so he no longer hesitated, waved his hand, and gave an order in a low voice, and then saw more than 30 black-clothed men with strong crossbows bending down and sneaking towards the front of the military village, followed by more than 100 black-clothed men carrying wooden ladders, and the group successfully sneaked under the walled wall with the help of the cover of the wind and the dark night.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
More than 30 strong crossbowmen are obviously selected archers, all of them are like gods, and they have already calculated the target to be attacked, as soon as they stick to the distance of less than 20 zhang from the military village, they stopped, and unceremoniously pulled the trigger in a kneeling position aimed at their respective targets, and in a small sound of machine springs, more than 30 steel arrows shot on the wall in unison.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
This group of crossbowmen is indeed outstanding, more than 30 steel arrows almost missed, and most of the ** sentries who were on duty at the head of the city were shot and killed, only a few dark sentries hiding in the shadows escaped by luck, and they were all let go of their throats and shouted.
"Ladder!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the defenders in the military village have not yet reacted, more than 100 black-clothed people who have rushed to the wall shouted and turned over more than a dozen ladders, and more than a dozen black-clothed people who had already stood on the top of the ladder took advantage of the situation to turn over the city plate, tumbled and jumped up, and formed a formation to protect the ladders behind them......
