Chapter 954: Gu Shihan died, and Gamu fled
Almost at the same time, just when Gamu urgently ordered the rebels who were fighting against the Tang army at the head of the city to urgently start forming a formation against the Tang cavalry, the head of the city was struggling to resist the defenders who were almost completely annihilated.
"Great Khan! You see, reinforcements from our army are coming! They're finally here! ”
Tulubaihu looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and a smile appeared on his face with difficulty.
Damn, it's time for them to get it.
It's just that their coming is still meaningful to his soldiers, but it doesn't matter to his dying self.
People live for a lifetime, grass lives for an autumn, and it is really a little unwilling to die like this......
"Great Khan! Sweat! Look, look......"
The agitated guard suddenly stopped talking, like a duck that had been suddenly pinched by the neck, unable to make a sound again.
Because he saw that Gu Shihan Tulu Baihu, who he was holding in his hand, had already rolled his eyes up and was not breathing.
He's dead.
Perhaps, this is a good ending for Gu Shihan, who has always been ambitious and unwilling to live under others.
The guards wept loudly, but were muffled by the cheers of the surrounding defenders.
After all, for these people who escaped death, it is not easy to hold on until now, and the defenders are close to collapse in terms of strength and physical strength. The Tang Army, who came to help, came in a really timely manner.
For a time, the defenders under the city and under the city broke out with great combat effectiveness, and everyone's courage doubled, and with their strength, they roared and fought with the rebels who rushed up.
When the morale of the defenders was like a rainbow, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, all the siege rebels whose morale had risen to the point of madness wilted like frosted eggplants.
What's going on?
How could it be that when these desperately resisting defenders were about to be destroyed, and they were about to occupy the inner city of Lhasa after paying a huge sacrifice price, there were reinforcements from the Tang army urgently coming?
It's just a coincidence.
It could even be said that it was an incredible nightmare!
The rebels who had already entered the city were retreating in a crowded manner, and the soldiers defending the city, in addition to being frightened, would certainly not let go of this good opportunity to chase and kill the rebels.
For a time, the situation in the inner city of Lhasa was completely reversed, and the remaining defenders, their morale was extremely high, and they pursued and killed the rebels who had fled and dispersed.
The rebels at the head of the city were terrified and began to retreat down the siege ladder in large numbers, and many of the rebels who were so frightened that they had no time to withdraw could no longer bear it, and some even knelt down on the spot and begged the defenders at the head of the city for mercy.
And under the city, those rebel soldiers who retreated in a hurry no longer had the will to fight, they ran and fled, and no one could stop them from fleeing frantically at this time.
And even so, the archers of the defenders who had re-emerged on the city wall immediately began to pursue and snipe them, killing them until they lost their armor along the way, and they were extremely embarrassed.
Eventually, the rebels who had stormed the city, after paying a pile of corpses, were able to escape from the slashing and firing of the defenders, and they fled back to the rebel camp outside the city like a fed of frightened rabbits.
And at this most chaotic moment, the cavalry of the Tang Army finally roared and killed.
Seeing these Tang cavalry rushing like hell knights, the face of the rebel leader Gamu turned pale in an instant.
It's over, and it seems that his own fame and prestige are going to be ruined here.
Gamu's hunch was correct.
He finally witnessed with his own eyes the terrifying impact speed of the Tang cavalry, and also witnessed the unstoppable impact force of this elite cavalry, which can be called the strongest and unparalleled in East Asia in terms of equipment and soldier quality.
The horse's hooves rumbled, the iron cavalry burst forward, the swords pointed at the spears, and the Tang cavalry that rushed forward was like two black giant blades, from the left and right flanks of the rebel headquarters that were in a hurry to form a temporary formation, and fiercely plunged into it.
From the sky, the cavalry of the Tang Army, which broke into the rebel formation, was like two blazing and sharp knives, like knives cutting through butter, quickly cutting the entire rebel army into pieces.
The semi-circular battle formation formed by the rebels in a hurry was torn in half from the left and right flanks, and almost at the same time, two wide blood paths were quickly rushed out!
The wedge is the scythe of death that harvests life, and it is an irresistible force and swift death, and all the rebels in front of the black wedge are thrown into the air like pieces of paper as if they were blown up by a sudden and unstoppable wind.
Then, the rebel soldiers, who were slammed into the air like pieces of paper, screamed loudly, crossed the long and short parabola, and fell backwards, then fell into a bloody patty.
Gamu, who was protected by a group of guards and hid behind the formation, saw the Tang Army's charging attack, which was so fierce and ruthless, and his face suddenly turned pale.
He saw with his own eyes that the chest of a rebel soldier who was very close to him was pierced by a whistling cavalry spear, like a thin piece of paper, which instantly broke through the solid armor, blood spurted out of his chest, and the tip of the cavalry spear with great momentum and unrelenting strength drilled out of his back, and the steel armor behind it was like a turtle shell.
Immediately, the heavy cavalry of the Tang Army abandoned the cavalry spear, drew his cavalry knife, and slashed at the rebel soldiers on the left and right, and the rebel soldiers who were hit by this shot, as if they had been pierced by a long needle, fell to the ground softly, and then struggled on the ground with their hands and feet and wailed in a low voice.
However, his pain did not last long, and another Tang cavalry rode over, and the galloping horse's hooves made his head like a watermelon, and the sound of a pop was completely stomped, and pink brains and red blood splattered everywhere.
Such a terrifying scene, Rao is Gamu has been in battle for a long time, and he is also shocked to shrink in his heart.
At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that although another rebel soldier was holding a shield to resist, it was just that, under the action of a huge and powerful force, this thick wooden shield was also like paper paste, and it was easily pierced by the snort of the horseman.
After the shield was pierced, the spear continued unabated, and then violently pierced his left arm, and the soldier screamed, and then, as if he had been hit head-on by a huge bison, he soared into the air, flew back more than ten paces away, and was finally trampled alive into a pancake by the chaotic hooves of the horses.
Such a cruel and tragic way of killing, although Gamu has been in battle for a long time, it is also the only one in his life.
The Tang cavalry formations in two places, the wedge-shaped tips of the wedge-shaped battle formation, were so strong and ferocious that all the rebel infantry who stood in the way of this deadly bloody road were almost all killed instantly, even if they were lucky not to die, they were seriously injured and could not survive.
For a time, the rebels were in chaos, with repeated wails, and the urgently formed military formation collapsed almost instantly.
The remnants of the rebels, scurrying in terror, trampled to death the wounded soldiers who were rolling and wailing underground, and at the same time the whole remnant of the formation rushed into more chaos.
The rebel army formation was instantly crushed by the Tang cavalry, and the entire Tang army cavalry formation was suddenly full of morale, and they pulled out their cavalry swords and slashed and killed the chaotic rebel army formation.
Gamu was horrified to see that the Xuanhu heavy horseman, who was quite close, had already slashed and killed three rebels one after another by this time in the battle, but he was still murderous and full of momentum. The knife in his hand flickered, and the bloody riding knife in his hand stabbed into the eye socket of a rebel, and when he heard the rebel's scream, his face was bloody, and he laughed like a devil.
Haha, don't feel too cool to kill the enemy and plunder the formation, exchanging the enemy's life and blood for the ladder of your own promotion.
In the chaotic military array, there are still an unknown number of Tang cavalry like him, they are like bloodthirsty and cruel devils from hell, facing these panicked rebel soldiers and soldiers, killing them without mercy, screaming and wailing everywhere the sword light goes.
And after the battle, seeing the rebels who had just formed an emergency formation, they collapsed in front of him almost without any resistance, and the muscles on Gamu's pale face were trembling constantly.
I really didn't expect that the Tang Army would be so strong!
At this moment, Gamu was sure that even if they were also cavalry, their own side, whether in terms of equipment or fighting spirit, could hardly match the Tang Army's iron cavalry, let alone the infantry. It is simply whimsical and ridiculous to want to use these improvised infantry to fight against the iron cavalry of the Tang Army!
For a while, Gamu's mind was blank, and he didn't know how he was going to deal with it next.
However, the guard next to him reminded him loudly, "King, now that the whole army has been defeated, and the Tang army is about to close the siege, we must retreat quickly, otherwise, if the Tang army makes dumplings, you won't be able to escape if you want to!" ”
When Gamu heard this, he knew that now was the last chance, and if he didn't retreat, it would really be too late.
Alas, a thousand miles of siege of the city, the success fell short!
This can be regarded as providential.
So, he let out a long sigh and immediately gave the order to retreat.
"The whole army listened to the order, gave up the battle with the Tang army, and immediately retreated, and the whole army retreated westward and retreated to southern Tibet!" Ga Mu finished roaring, and took the lead in escaping with a group of guards.
When he gave this order, his heart was inexplicably sad.
Because he also knew that until the war, the rebels he led had been scattered in all parts of the city, and the soldiers who were fighting with the Tang army defending the city had not yet surrendered, so this order was really meaningless and purely a coping move.
Now seeing the rebels breaking through, the defenders of Lhasa, who had counterattacked the outer city, let out deafening cheers almost at the same time, and continued to wield bloody waist knives and slashed at the rebels who remained at the head of the city.
Cool!
The ending that was originally thought to be defeated was completely changed by the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Army, and now it is appropriate to chase the poor and brave in the battle situation, which is simply the most wonderful result for the defenders who are struggling to defend the city.
Although their leader, Tulubaihu, had long since been killed in battle, it was nothing compared to his own survival.
The current rebels, whose morale has plummeted, are not in the mood to make an effective counterattack against the Tang army that is chasing after them, and they are like a group of stupid pigs who do not care about their heads, they follow Gamu all the way, hurriedly leave Lhasa, and retreat to the south.
Seeing the rebels fleeing like a low tide, Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the Tang army, had his eyes blazing.
Here's your chance!
Take advantage of your chaos and kill you!
"Pass on my military order, all the cavalry immediately pursue the enemy with all their might, and all the spearmen will follow the attack, and try their best to expand the results!"
"Order!"
After receiving the order, the cavalry of the Tang Army, which had been rushing and killing non-stop, finally roared out like a hideous death, like an arrow that burst out of the string, rumbling through the wilderness, and rushing straight to the scattered and fleeing rebel rout.
After the cavalry, a large number of spearmen were like a black heat wave rolling out, holding sharp and shining 4-meter stainless steel spears, shouting loudly to chase the tail dust of the cavalry, and rushed forward to kill.
Such a one-sided battle to hunt down the remnants of the enemy is simply the happiest thing in the world.
As the two cavalry of the Tang Army's assault arrows, the horses' hooves rumbled all the way, but they were very skillfully divided into two armies, like two large and sharp black arrows, and chased after the large number of routs and surrounded them.
After approaching the enemy soldiers, these Tang cavalry were like bloodthirsty beasts, letting out a sharp howl, like a tiger coming out of the mountain, and like a sword out of the box, everyone fought bravely, one by one, and slaughtered the fleeing rebel soldiers like a tide.
It was noon, the fog had cleared, the sun was shining in the sky, and the tens of thousands of Tang cavalry in armor and murderous spirits were like death, with horses' hooves rumbling, guns pointing at knives, slashing and killing the rebels who could not escape.
Such a one-sided and merciless slaughter, don't be too cool.
At the same time, a large number of Tang army spearmen in full armor and armed with sharp steel spears hurriedly walked quickly, following the rebel soldiers who were fleeing towards the rout, and followed the pursuit.
As soon as they got closer, the 4-meter-long stainless steel spear and the sharp and terrifying three-edged blood trough spear head stabbed towards the rebel soldiers who were fleeing 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 rebels screamed again and again, and continued to struggle and fall to their deaths.
As far as the eye can see, the entire area around Lhasa City has become a Shura field for the Tang army to practice killing, and countless enemy soldiers have been stabbed to death by spears or hacked to death by sabers, and the entire battlefield is blurred with blood and flesh, and screams are repeated. It was like a human slaughterhouse, the ground was covered with the corpses of rebel soldiers, horizontal and vertical, shocking, and the blood overflowing everywhere actually merged into a red river of blood on the ground where the snow had not melted. The river of blood meandered and flowed, making people's hearts palpitate and chill, which shows how cruel this killing was. ()
