Chapter 331: The Great War (1)

Compared with the cavalry of the Tang Army, which was divided into three, the allied forces of the various tribes in Tibet were gathered together, and the 40,000 cavalry, although they were all adult men temporarily drawn from various tribes, were 40,000 cavalry after all, and the scene was also quite spectacular.

At a glance, it seems that dark clouds are pressing down on the city, which makes people a little breathless.

The 10,000 cavalry of the Right Shence Army under the personal command of Liu Kui were located in front of the formation, although these forbidden soldiers did not fight too many battles, but this scene was not unseen.

This time last year, in Chang'an. The Shatuo army led by Li Keyong was larger than the formation of these Tubo people in front of him, not only cavalry, but also infantry, but in the end, it was the imperial army that won.

Now, the matter in front of us is the alliance of the Tibetan tribes.

In terms of strength, they are not as good as the Shatuo Army, what are they afraid of?

Soldiers should be proud of the horse leather shroud, and in their eyes, this is not 40,000 enemies, but 40,000 war exploits.

Before the battle, Liu Kui looked at the tens of thousands of well-armored soldiers in front of him and behind him, and he was excited, and he didn't know where to take out a simple horn, which was of course made by Li Ye, although it was not as good as the kind of horn in later generations, but it was better than a dry roar.

For this thing, Liu Kui also used it for the first time, and after trying the effect, he began to say loudly.

"Soldiers, in front of me are the Tubo people who occupied my Tang Dynasty Longyou before, and the Tubo people took advantage of the civil strife in my Tang Dynasty to rob and rob 。。。。。 Now, it is invading my Datang border, killing my Datang people, and enslaving our relatives and friends. ”

Liu Kui's eyes were resolute, his weapons were in his hands, and his gaze swept over the faces of these soldiers in front of him. Many of these people will surely die here today, unable to return to their hometowns to reunite with their loved ones, but this is their fate.

"Soldiers! In today's battle, I, Liu Kui, will kill the enemy with all the soldiers, and if there is anyone who retreats, there will be no forgiveness for killing! Today, let's pick up the weapons in our hands together, kill all the enemies in front of us, recover Longyou, and shine my Datang! ”

"Yao my Datang!"

"Long live Datang!"

"Long live Datang!"

Enthusiasm flowed in the hearts of all the soldiers, all of them held their weapons and shouted loudly, directly overpowering the Tubo coalition army that had begun to charge in the distance.

Although many Tibetan generals also heard the shouts of the Tang army and were a little shaken in their hearts, the cavalry had already begun to charge, and it was impossible to stop.

For today's plan, there is only one battle!

Many people have not seen tens of thousands of cavalry charging and killing, but now they have seen it.

The cavalry charge of tens of thousands of people is difficult to see in Longyou and even the whole of Hexi, and even if the Guiyi army fights with the Uighurs, it is rare to dispatch tens of thousands of cavalry in one go.

But now it has appeared.

These 40,000 cavalry can be said to have transferred more than half of the young and strong tribes in Longyou, if they win, it is fine, if they lose, the Tubo tribes in Longyou will really be seriously injured, and they will not be able to recover their vitality in a few years.

Seeing the charging cavalry, Liu Kui did not order his cavalry to charge, but waited for the infantry to counterattack.

After the Tibetan cavalry entered the firing range, the Tiance cannon and bow and crossbow of the Right Shenwu Army began to roar.

As soon as the flag waved, iron bullets and crossbow arrows filled with gunpowder flew towards the Tibetan coalition army with a whistling sound that tore through the air. www

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

The power of gunpowder and crossbow arrows was not something that could be stopped by the Tibetan coalition army, which did not even have iron armor.

The sound of the 'boom' explosion sounded in the camp of the Tibetan coalition army, and clusters of flames scattered out. Where had these nomads seen such a scene, and they thought that the gods were angry.

The heat wave of the explosion and the scattered fragments caused the horses that were charging at high speed to fall to the ground, and the cavalry on horseback fell directly, and before they could recover their senses, they were ruthlessly trampled under the feet of the horses behind them.

The Tubo soldiers who escaped by luck ushered in a rain of arrows, and the Tubo coalition army that rushed to the forefront for a time suffered heavy casualties.

However, the bravery of these Tibetan soldiers also surprised the Tang army a little, even so, these rabble, regardless of the comrades who died in front of them, directly stepped on their corpses and continued to rush forward.

The right Shenwu army behind continued to fire cannonballs and crossbow arrows, and even if the Tubo people were brave and could withstand the first round of attacks, they would not be able to withstand the successive attacks.

After a few rounds, the Tubo soldiers who were charging finally became timid, especially the ones in front, and directly turned their horses' heads and wanted to flee the battlefield.

But you've come all the time, and you still want to run?

"Listen to General Ben's orders and attack!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Long live Datang!"

"Your Highness, Liu Fuma has already rushed into battle!"

Li Jiepi, who was in the middle of the infantry, also saw Liu Kui rushing out with 10,000 cavalry, and in front of the 40,000 Tubo cavalry, these 10,000 cavalry were obviously a little weak.

In such a grand battle, the infantry of the Right Shenwu Army did not want to be absent, and they all looked at Li Jiepi.

But the cavalry engaged, and the infantry went to participate in the loss.

"Tell me to go down, be ready for battle, and don't attack without permission." Li Jiepi finally chose to wait first, waiting for Liu Kui to give the order that the infantry could attack.

"Your Highness, but Liu has only 10,000 cavalry!"

"But we're more than this cavalry."

Li Jiepi's implication was naturally the cavalry on the left and right flanks, counting these, in fact, there was not much disadvantage, on the contrary, his own army was obviously superior to the Tubo coalition army in terms of morale and weapons.

Just before Li Jiepi's words fell, the cavalry of the Right Tiance Army on the right flank was dispatched, but it was not a combination of soldiers, but divided into two groups, detoured to the enemy's flank, and attacked the enemy's waist and ribs.

It can be seen that if Yuan Zhiqing knows some art of war, the cavalry on the Tang army's side does not have an advantage in numbers, even if they are combined with the Right Shence army, they will not be able to change this status quo, and they will be very passive.

But if you attack the enemy's flank, you can cut off the enemy's waist, make him head and tail, disrupt the enemy's command, and even throw the enemy army into confusion.

Yuan Zhiqing was even more ruthless, dividing the 10,000 cavalry into two units.

Don't think that the Tubo coalition army is a fool, as a people on horseback, they fought for an unknown number of years in Hexi and on the plateau, and soon realized the intentions of the Tang army on the flank.

Shang Daze shouted, "Leader of Hunmo, take your tribe, as well as the warriors of the Heishui and Tushan tribes, and stop the Tang army on the flank. ”

A man in his forties hugged his fists and said, "Leave it to me!" ”

Although the end of Hun was attacked by the Right Shence Army before and suffered heavy losses, its strength is still there, and with the assistance of two medium-sized tribes, it is enough to meet the two Tang armies that fought from the side.

Soon, the three tribes including the end of the Hun tribe were killed, and Shang Daze was looking at the battle situation in front of him and thinking about how to break the enemy.

Although they have a numerical advantage, the Tang army is wearing iron armor, and the weapons in their hands are better than them.

In the end, Shang Daze paid attention to the infantry behind the Tang cavalry, and when he saw the Tang infantry protected by only a few thousand cavalry, Shang Daze knew how to break the enemy.

"The third! Give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, I will give you 10,000 cavalry and kill those Tang infantry, can you do it? ”

Shang Ying looked at the Tang infantry in the distance and began to be a little worried, but when he saw that there were only a few thousand cavalry covering, his face showed joy, and he hugged his fists and said, "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely make them regret coming here." ”

"Sons, kill me, kill these Tang people!"

As a result, a cavalry of tens of thousands of people broke away from the Tibetan camp, bypassed the battlefield from the flank, and directly attacked the infantry phalanx of the Tang army.

For a time, the attention of the entire battlefield turned there.

The Tubo coalition army suddenly divided 10,000 cavalry, which greatly reduced the pressure on his front, and as for the side of the Right Shenwu Army, he was not worried.

10,000 cavalry also want to break away from my Datang's infantry phalanx?

He didn't know how to describe the Tubo people in front of him, was he smart? Or are you stupid?
