Chapter 939: Urgent Help, Frontal Fight
These Tang cavalry fired several rounds in a row, and then turned around and left, and Dayan Ozir was sad to see that more than 100 corpses had been added in vain in front of his own army.
And at this moment, the Tang army's military formation finally approached quickly.
Dayan Ozier saw that the formation of the Tang army was a long snake formation with a width almost equal to that of the Liukou, with more than 6,000 shield soldiers lined up, and there were two rows of sharp and sharp shields, like a temporary steel wall.
Behind the shield soldiers, there are dense spearmen, and on the steel wall built by the shield soldiers, above each shield, there is a 4-meter stainless steel spear with a cold light, like a poisonous dragon ready to attack, waiting for the prey that is getting closer and closer on the opposite side.
The Tang Army's spearmen had three layers, which could ensure that there were enough troops to fill the losses, and the entire formation was very strict and full of awe-inspiring murderous aura.
Behind the spearmen, there are Tang Army auxiliaries holding earth-shattering thunder, these unarmored auxiliaries are actually the killer existence of the Tang Army. Each of them had more than a dozen one-handed sky-shaking thunderbolts hanging from their waists, and they seemed to have no offensive power, but they were actually the Tang Army's biggest secret weapon.
Behind the entire Tang Army's gun and shield battle array, there were two cavalry divisions and two heavy armored marching troops, which were used to protect the security of the flanks.
While the Tang army was marching rapidly, the Tibetan army finally set up a formation and was ready to fight against the Tang army. Seeing that his own army was already in complete formation, Dayan Ozir did not hesitate to give the order for the whole army to attack.
A large-scale head-to-head confrontation has officially begun.
If you look down from the sky, you can clearly see that the Tang army and the Tibetan army are like two long thick black lines, of which the Tang army does not move. And the black line of the Tibetan army, like a wriggling worm, is rapidly approaching the Tang army.
Seeing the Tibetan army rushing towards the overwhelming force, Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the 13th town of the Tang Army, was scorching, staring closely at the dynamics of the Tibetan army, and when the whole Tibetan army was only about 200 steps away from his own front, he raised the command flag in his hand.
In fact, the current Tang army that has crossed the Basa Tonglamu Mountain is only half of the strength of the 13th Town, and the rest of the Tang Army, including the artillery of the 13th Town and a large number of auxiliaries, are not on the way to the trek.
Therefore, Liu Wenxiu now has only more than 15,000 troops in his hands, but after the battle of encircling and annihilating the more than 10,000 Tibetan troops, Liu Wenxiu is already full of confidence and is determined to have a head-on battle with the enemy army on the opposite side with twice the number of soldiers and horses he has.
So, as if by magic, above each of the shields of the iron, beside each of the spearmen who were ready to attack, there appeared a musketeer with a flintlock gun.
They quickly prepared, and the black hole spearmen in everyone's hands immediately aimed at the Tibetan army that was roaring and rushing on the opposite side.
The order flag in Liu Wenxiu's hand waved down violently.
"Ready, fire!"
With the angry shout of the commander of the Tang army, 3,000 guns fired in unison, and a total of more than 2,500 shots were fired.
"Bang bang bang! ……”
Rows of bright red embers flew together, like a long bright red ribbon, as beautiful as hellfire, with a unique beauty like a death ritual. A large cloud of choking white gunpowder smoke poured up, and more than 2,500 tiny three-dollar mini lead bullets, like a swarm of death bees flying away in unison, let out a slight but cheerful chirp, and swooped down on the Tibetan army opposite.
The roaring death bee swarm, chirping and smiling, quickly burrowed into the body of the Tibetan army on the opposite side.
The tiny lead bullets weighing three coins burrowed into the human body, breaking bones, tearing muscles, and the surging bullets churned the internal organs into a pulp, forming a terrible cavity effect.
The Tibetan army in the front row, many of them immediately bloomed like a trick, and those who were hit fell on their backs as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer.
The impact of this lead bullet was so great that those Tibetan soldiers who happened to block the lead bullet with bamboo and rattan shields could not withstand this huge impact, and they staggered backwards and fell. It's just that as soon as they fell, they were immediately trampled to death and injured by the Tibetan soldiers who were extremely fanatical and still rushed straight behind, and the scene was a mess.
Although the first round of firing was completely unaim-sighted, it also caused at least 600 Tibetan soldiers to be killed or wounded on the spot, causing chaos in the Tibetan army's formation.
When the Tibetan army's formation was scattered and the speed was slightly sluggish, the second round of fire salvos began again.
"Bang bang bang! ……”
The guns rang out, the embers flew away, and more than 2,500 guns were fired, and more than 2,500 lead bullets roared out, causing more than 800 Tibetan soldiers to be killed and wounded as the Tibetan army moved closer and closer.
The formation of the Tibetan army suddenly became more and more chaotic, and the speed of the impact became more and more reduced, and the original fanatical and bloodthirsty expressions on the faces of those Tibetan soldiers who rushed to the front began to recede, and many people showed extremely frightened expressions, because they did not know when such bad luck would befall them.
Dayan Ozir, who was monitoring behind the battle, saw that his own soldiers were not yet able to shoot in the dense range of the Tang army, and they began to appear chaotic and shaken, and the speed and strength of the impact were greatly reduced, and he couldn't help but be angry again.
Damn, two rounds of salvo shots disrupted their own formation, these death-fearing ghosts are really useless, and they really embarrass my Zheng family.
"Give it all to Lao Tzu! Rush up and fight the Tang Army to the end! Don't fucking act like you haven't had enough to eat! Dayan Ozir's eyes were blood-red, and he roared with his sword.
After Dayan Ozir scolded sharply, he ordered his guards to step forward to supervise the formation, reorganize the formation, and force these Tibetan soldiers who were driven away from pigs and sheep to continue to rush forward, attack the place of the shield, and go to fight the Tang army in hand-to-hand combat.
"No! The prince must not be impulsive, the Tang army has dense firepower, and our army is insufficient, so we must not let it rush forward again! It is not too late to wait until the king of Khan sends reinforcements to come and then organize a charge! ”
A lieutenant general on the side, seeing that Dayan Ozir was so impulsive, anxiously shouted to stop him.
Dayan Ozir was also shocked by his shouting.
He thought about it for a while, and felt that the adjutant general's words seemed to have some truth. Therefore, he immediately ordered the whole army to suspend the attack and disperse on the spot, and the person with the bamboo and rattan shield stood in the front, so as to reduce the damage of the Tang army's shooting.
When the Tang army was about to launch the attack, the envoys sent by Dayan Ozir had already rushed back to Naqu City to urgently defend Gu Shi Khan Tulu Baihu.
After listening to the messenger's report, Tulubaihu's face turned white, and fine sweat quickly broke out from his forehead.
No, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were all wiped out by the Tang Army after just a few hours, which is unimaginable.
And Dayan Ozir's attack this time, not only has he lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but now he is directly fighting a decisive battle with the Tang Army in person, so his eldest son, this Dayan Ozir, who has always been arrogant and conceited, will really be the opponent of the Tang Army who has been in battle for a long time?
It seems that there is no need to ask this question at all.
It is conceivable that under the premise of not having sufficient troops, the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses of Dayan Ozir will never be the opponent of the Tang army.
Now, there is only one way to go with the reinforcements of Dayan Ozir.
Otherwise, the remaining more than 30,000 soldiers and horses will not be guaranteed, and his eldest son, the heir he values the most, is afraid that he will also hang here.
It was nothing short of a nightmare result.
Therefore, Tulu Baihu almost did not hesitate to give an order, so that the other half of the other half of the more than 50,000 soldiers and horses immediately dispatched from Naqu City to urgently go to join the Dayan Ozir Department to rescue its critical situation.
Just as he was hurrying out of the city with 50,000 reinforcements, the Tang army had already started a head-on fight with the Zheng army on the opposite side.
It turned out that seeing his soldiers, although they were scattered in a formation, they were still shot by the Tang army in the distance, as if they were lined up to shoot, and took turns to kill Dayan Ozir, who was helpless, he couldn't help it, so he ordered them to rush forward and fight the Tang army at close range.
Damn, the reinforcements don't know when they will come, if they don't rush into battle again, and if they are beaten by the Tang Army like this, the whole army will collapse, what a fart!
"Rush! Give it all to Lao Tzu! If anyone doesn't rush, they will be killed! Dayan Ozir shouted angrily, "The dog is in! The Tang army fired several rounds of volleys, and they beat you into a mess, what is the use of Lao Tzu raising you such a waste! The more afraid you are, the faster you die, all for Lao Tzu! As long as you can rush forward and engage the Tang army in hand-to-hand combat, it will be a victory! ”
With no way back, they were shot forward, and these poor fellows, whose courage and will had been weakened at this time, were still forced to rush forward, and the situation was quite miserable.
It's just that they have no choice, knowing that their current self, the only way to survive is to rush to the front of the Tang army as soon as possible, and engage the Tang army in hand-to-hand combat, so that they can no longer fight the firecrackers, the only way to save their lives.
As a result, the Tibetan soldiers were still staring at the blood-red eyes, shouting and rushing forward, and the Tang army's firearms were also ruthlessly fired in turns, and in this distance of only about a hundred paces, the Tibetan soldiers kept wailing and falling.
Because the Tibetan army has reinforcements to join, with a large number of people, without fear of death, they desperately advance, and finally arrived at about dozens of steps away from the long shield formation, at this time, in the Tang army array, those more than 2,000 Tang army auxiliaries who have been holding still, have used their strength to eat, the burning individual soldier in their hands shook the sky, and threw it vigorously towards the rolling Tibetan army formation.
Bang bang! ……”
Dozens of steps away, the deafening sound of continuous explosions resounded into one piece, almost bursting people's eardrums, the dazzling golden firelight, in the large cloud of suffocating whistle smoke from time to time, broken limbs and blood in the air burst out in all directions, screams one after another, the scene was like a bloody hell.
The Tang Army's unexpected earth-shattering bombardment can be described as a fatal blow to the Tibetan army.
These fragments had a killing radius of more than 10 paces, and the lethal effect on the Tibetan soldiers was very terrifying.
More than 1,600 of the 2,000 earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown by a single soldier, killing more than 3,000 Tibetan troops in an instant, and countless others were wounded.
Many people's ears have been shaken to the point of deafness, and they are stunned in place, not knowing what to do next.
For a time, the Tibetan army's formation was in chaos, and its morale fell to the bottom.
At this time, the second round of individual thunder throwing by the Tang Army's auxiliaries began again.
"Bang bang bang! ……”
Dozens of paces away, there was another series of violent explosions, human stumps and blood and internal organs flying in all directions, and as many as 1,000 Tibetan soldiers who had no time to retreat and disperse, were killed in an instant.
Immediately after that, another third round of throwing began.
And when the earth-shattering thunder was mighty, the three thousand flint guns were fired in unison, and the dense gunfire and the deafening explosions were intertwined with each other, deafening, and did not stop for a moment.
In the face of such a powerful firearm attack by the Tang army, in the face of this violent massacre of almost absolute death, most of the Tibetan troops who charged in flesh and blood, only more than ten steps away from Haogou, almost a stone's throw away from the Tang army, finally many Tibetan troops completely collapsed.
A large number of Tibetan troops threw away their weapons one after another, turned around and fled in tears, like a group of pigs who did not care about their stomachs, and there was no organization and discipline at all, everyone was desperately retreating and running, lest they fall behind, and they would become the ghosts of the Tang army.
After paying heavy casualties, the rest of the Tibetan army, extremely lucky and almost subconsciously rushed to the front of the Tang army's big shield, but before they had time to wave the weapons in their hands, a large number of Tang army spearmen with complete armor and armed sharp steel spears could not hold back, they used all their strength, with the 4-meter stainless steel spear that had been stored for a long time, towards these Tibetan troops in a chaotic and low formation, stabbing fiercely.
A 4-meter-long stainless steel spear with a sharp and terrifying three-edged blood trough head stabbed towards the Tibetan soldiers who fled for their lives as if they had eyes.
Being stabbed by the three-edged stainless steel spear head engraved with a deep blood groove is like being kissed by a poisonous snake, which can be said to be dead when touched, and dead when touched. Under the ferocious stabbing of the Tang army's spearmen, the Tibetan soldiers screamed again and again, constantly struggling and falling to their deaths.
"Don't run away! If there are escapees, kill them! Seeing that Jianfang was already close to the Tang army, but such a formation was in chaos, Dayan Ozir was furious, he gritted his teeth and ordered fiercely, "Go, kill all those who escaped from the battle!" ”
A large number of cavalry guards roared away, slashing and slaughtering the routs who had managed to escape to the rear, killing the poor fellows with great sorrow and screaming.
Under the strong suppression of Dayan Ozir, the Tibetan soldiers began to restore order, and they rushed over like crazy beasts without fear of death, and began to make a strong impact on the Tang army's gun and shield battle array.
Because the enemy had already arrived in front of the battle, in order to avoid killing or injuring their own people, the Tang army auxiliaries had to retreat together with the musketeers, but at this time of the battle, they had already killed and wounded more than 3,000 Tibetan troops together with the musketeers, and the efficiency was amazing.
More brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat has officially begun.
