Chapter 214: Go to War

After the Battle of Shanzhou City, Zhang Bi and Murong Shun killed more than 30,000 people in Tubo in three consecutive days of pursuit, making the eastern part of Tubo almost no longer able to compete with the Pingxi Army.

Legend has it that Wu Zetian was overjoyed and intended to transfer Zhang Bi and Murong Shun to guard one side.

On the central back road, the Chinese army camp stood still, and on the right side were Yin Wenshan's Zhenwuwei and Ran Yangbo's Xuanwuwei.

Judging from the situation on the battlefield as a whole, the distribution of troops in the Pingxi Army showed a state of being light on the left and heavy on the right.

At first glance, it was intended to take the right side as the main direction of the assault, and correspondingly, the Tubo army paid equal attention to the two roads and advanced in unison, which was obviously a way of folding its two wings.

Even before the war, both sides of the formation were to hide their own motives and objectives.

But once the formation is opened, everything will naturally be exposed in broad daylight, and there is no point in concealing it.

Li Xingzhou took Zuo Yiwei as an arrow.

The marching commander Shi Cui An, the record officer Guo Shiheng, the soldier Cao joined the army Wang Xingjian, the cavalry Cao joined the army Xing Junya, the Cangcao joined the army Wang Sili, the cao joined the army Zhang Shouqi, the Fengche commander Park Jingtai, the deputy commander Wuyang, and Li Baishi were lined up beside him.

The 3,000 men under Xiong Yanfu, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, 3,000 under Lin Yun, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, and the 2,000 under Yan Tingzhi, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, are the arrows in the arrows.

Behind them were 3,000 men under Yan Shun, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, 2,000 under Wei Boyu, commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade, and 2,000 under Yang Jinghui, commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade.

Temporary changes on the battlefield are usually small changes in a small range, with the aim of fulfilling tactical requirements and maximizing one's own capabilities.

However, it is impossible to make a major change in the strategic layout, and it is impossible for the commander to shout a change of formation, and the people on the left will all run to the right.

The big war is about to start, the lineups of the two sides have been decided, even if the other party has any conspiracy now, it is too late to make changes, and can only make a response in a small area.

At this moment, when he saw the opponent's lineup, he immediately knew that the opponent's attack center of gravity could only be his left side, so he immediately gave an order.

"Pay attention to the left defense, Li Xingzhou will attack us from there."

However, knowing is knowing, how to fight and how to deal with it, that has to be known only after fighting.

However, before the battle begins, there is one more thing to do.

Before the battle began, the two armies were still in the midst of a confrontation, glaring at each other one by one, gasping for air in their noses, like red-eyed bulls.

This pre-war wait was particularly painful because of the long time it took to live.

This pre-war ordeal was a major test of nerves and wills, even for the officers.

If anyone can't stand it first, I'm afraid that before the big war comes, people will collapse first.

Fortunately, there was a change in the Tibetan army soon, and a herald suddenly flew out of the gap in the array and came to the center of the battlefield alone, and he shouted loudly.

"On the orders of the Prime Minister, there is a letter to be sent to General Li of your army."

Handing over the letter, the herald flew back.

Park Kyung-tae checked that the letter was non-toxic, and the letter was handed over to Lee Hang-joo. Li Xingzhou only glanced at it lightly, his face had changed greatly, and his body shook a few times.

The content of the letter is very simple, with only three words: Wei Hanshuang.

It's not shocking.

How do the Tibetan people know about Wei Hanshuang?

Now what is the purpose of Wei Hanshuang?

There is no answer to all this. The other party was very cunning, and only said the three words Wei Hanshuang, but did not say anything about the situation.

Li Xingzhou's heart suddenly swelled with monstrous waves, and he could no longer be calm.

Before the war, Zhu Dan sent such a letter to tell him about such a person.

It was obvious that he had the intention of confusing his mind, and wanted to make Li Xingzhou unable to effectively command the battle.

This psychological warfare has a great impact on Li Xingzhou.

"General, is something wrong?"

Li Baishi, who was beside him, asked.

"It's nothing, just persuade to surrender, don't pay attention to it."

Li Xingzhou replied coldly, but the hand holding the letter was already clenched into a fist, crumpling the mass of letter paper to shreds.

Looking at the huge array of troops on the opposite side from a distance, Li Xingzhou took a long breath and quickly calmed down his excited mood.

At this moment, even if the sky falls, he must calm himself.

Everything has to wait until after this decisive battle.

"Tell all the warriors that the ruler has sent me a letter of surrender and will surrender to me at the most critical time of the battle. And also...... The opponent will attack immediately. ”

In the face of the psychological attack of the ruler belt Zhudan, Li Xinghui played a beautiful counterattack, the two armies had not yet started the war, and the other commanders had already made a move.

It is expected that when Li Xingzhou learns this news, he must be affected and must not miss the opportunity.

The banners of the Tibetan army waved, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, the heralds rushed like lightning, and the generals of all walks of life were making the final pre-war mobilization in front to boost morale.

The army is finally on the move.

The Tibetan vanguard army on the left and right flanks, with a phalanx of 1,000 people, armed with various weapons such as shields, swords, swords, and infantry spears, marched steadily with rumbling steps.

Their steps were firm and their fighting spirit was high, and they stepped into a thunderous rhythm that made the earth tremble.

"Crossbow machine ready!"

"Archer prepare!"

"Axe Ready!"

Seeing that the enemy troops are crossing the military buffer zone in a big way, they are coming this way.

....

The vertical lines between Li Xingzhou's eyebrows gradually stretched, and he said with a sigh of relief.

"It's up to this battle, give the order to prepare for war!"

Li Xingzhou said that he would do it, and after a while, the big drum of the Chinese army shook the heavens and the earth, and the forward cavalry brigade of the big bear set up an attack formation, slowly leaving the camp and marching forward.

The regiments marched calmly until they were 300 paces away from the Tibetan men, because the Tibetan army almost had almost no ordnance that could reach 300 paces.

Then the Tang army and horses charged from a distance of three hundred paces and pounced on the enemy, and the battle from the center immediately ushered in the decisive moment of thousands of troops and horses.

The galloping horses charged at a speed of ten paces per snap of their fingers, approaching as if flying.

With a charge of three hundred paces, it took only one-fifth of the incense to rush in front of the Tubo army, and in such a short period of time, the opponent only had time to shoot a messy horse.

The casualties inflicted on the iron-clad cavalry of the Don Army were minimal.

The long first column of lancers instantly poured into the enemy group, and the front was suddenly overturned.

In an instant, the second wave had arrived, and the impact continued for dozens of rounds.

In the vast sea of Tibetan soldiers, the column of knights who did not hesitate was as small as ants. Ants shake trees, but the Tibetan army is not a tree.

This kind of continuous charge killed people every moment, and the psychological shock caused by it can be imagined, and the front of the Tibetan army was quickly chaotic.

At this time, the left wing of Tubo rushed diagonally, and as soon as the gong sounded and the military flag waved on the side of the Tang army, the forward quickly transferred his horse and ran back. 、

A moment later the drums beat again, and a voice shouted.

"The general's order, the whole army assaults!"

The king rarely carried three small red flags on his back, with the word "order" written on them, and galloped wildly.

In the rough music of drums and horns, the Tang army horses sometimes galloped south, sometimes retreated north.

Since then, it has become more and more complicated, and the three armies are all mobilized. The vast land seems to be staged a singing and dancing event.

The men and horses between the two camps of the black pressure ran back and forth like ant colonies.

From the early morning battle to the noon of the horses' hooves, it was as if there had been a great earthquake here.

Casualties on both sides continued to mount but there were no real victories or defeats, the ground was littered with corpses, and ownerless horses were running in panic.

The Tang army rotated camps, the front army was repaired for the rear army, and a new group of men and horses who were in good spirits and geared up came up with weapons again.

Li Xingzhou groaned.

"The books say that if we don't break the enemy today, it will be more difficult tomorrow, and we must break the formation in the afternoon!"

Looking at the battlefield, the battle continued, and the tent of the king of Tubo was faintly in the middle, and the banner was fierce and motionless.

The position where Li Xingzhou stood was also where the battle flags of the Chinese army were located, and the golden drums and horns of all colors of the battle flags were in good order, and no one showed their defeated appearance.

At this time, Li Xingzhou said coldly.

"I personally led the elite of Zuo Yiwei to break through from the center, and the left and right formed a zigzag to respond, and attacked with all my might!"

The congregation will listen and hurry.

"The general sits in the center, and we are the forerunner!"

Big Bear also hugs his fists.

"Please ask the general for authorization to lead a frontal assault with me."

Li Xingzhou rudely refused.

"I've made up my mind!"

Everyone hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed to listen.

Li Xingzhou then hung three knives on his body and shouted.

"Zuo Yiwei is invincible! Let's go! ”

After saying that, he rode away, and General Zhu Meng and Zuo Yiwei's elite followed, and Zuo Yiwei also stepped forward to start adjusting the queue.

"Life and death advance and retreat together, rise and fall in this battle! Banzai! ”

Zuo Yiwei shouted "Long live", and the earth shook.

Eight thousand cavalry moved forward together, and more than 10,000 iron cavalry on the left and right also moved slowly behind, and the three armies approached the Tibetan camp in a zigzag shape.

Xue Ne of the Chinese army turned pale, nervously holding the order flag in his hand, and staring intently ahead.

Li Xingzhou glanced sideways at the westerly sun, the radiant sunlight drying the ground and making the air as clean as a spring.

At this time, he was very excited and a little nervous, but there was no fear at all, and everyone was not much afraid.

After all, having so many people together only makes people feel emotional.

……

As an atheist, he did it all about getting a spiritual uplift.

"Silk!"

With a soft, metallic sound, the long knife quietly left its scabbard.

Li Xingzhou clenched the hilt of the knife and closed his eyes in good wishes.

Waving his flat finger ahead, the horse's hooves went from slow to urgent, ticking and ticking......

Zuo Yiwei's grass-roots officers carefully measured the distance while methodically laying out various orders, and the veterans who had been on the battlefield quickly and accurately carried out the officers' orders.

Despite the overwhelming opponent, 40,000 troops were dispatched as soon as they struck.

But a warrior who has long been trained by the fire of war and whose nerves are as tough as iron bars is fearless.

Because behind them, there is a hero who seems to be a legend.

They believe in him, as long as he is here, Zuo Yiwei will not lose!

This kind of soldier's worship of the general is the basis for the soldier's achievement.

It is the source of their confidence to move forward.

It is the basis for their constant victory, as if they were religious.

The warriors were fanatical, heroic, and full of dedication.

The next moment, accompanied by the order of the persimmon.

"Put!"

Countless strong bows and crossbows shot out the clamor of death and rushed into the sky, falling into the enemy crowd, and the blood exploded.

"Brothers, charge, kill!"

As the Tibetan army crossed the buffer zone, it entered the range of Zuo Yiwei.

At the same time that Zuo Yiwei's marching commander Shi Cui Anpersim gave the order to shoot, this thunderous roar also exploded in the Tubo army.

The infantry phalanx, which had been steadily advancing, suddenly dispersed, and the originally angular and well-spaced array turned into a huge line of strangely long skirmishers that stretched for several miles in the blink of an eye, and suddenly turned from an iron-clad turtle to a raging tide.

They shouted the slogan of killing, and the shields were held high above their heads, sweeping like stormfish, and they were greeted by rockets, poison arrows, crossbows, arrows, and all kinds of long-range weapons, weaving a dense artificial rainstorm in the sky, and smashing down like knives.

The sound of the bowstring resounded at this moment, endlessly, like thunder, blood flowers bloomed in the crowd, composing the most magnificent poetry in life.

In warfare, the distance of the charge within the effective range of the opponent is often referred to as the death zone, and the active attacker is destined to withstand the all-round powerful attack of the defender's ranged weapons.

In contrast, due to distance, their own forces are unable to provide sufficient long-range support in a timely manner.

Rushing through the death zone was destined to cost their lives, and one after another Tibetan warriors fell on the way to the charge.

Experienced veterans could still use their skilful footwork and shields to resist the seemingly inexhaustible rain of arrows, and the recruits were in dire straits, looking at the oncoming meteors, they didn't know what to do with them, and they fell down one by one with a wail.

However, even for veterans with a lot of experience in charging, it is not so easy to rush through this death zone.

Zuo Yiwei's long-range strike means are fierce and arrogant, in the gap between Zuo Yiwei's defense line, a giant crossbow bow was pushed out, opened and closed, and ejected a huge crossbow as thick as an arm, sweeping the ground and firing, piercing the square shield, piercing the human body, and not stopping until several people were pierced.

Even if you manage to dodge the deadly crossbows and arrows and rush in front of the enemy line, you still have to watch out for the fierce axe cutting of the opponent's axeman.

However, the charge at the cost of life is destined not to achieve nothing.

The charging wave organized by the Tubo people, while bearing the huge long-range blows of the opponent, also kept pushing their position forward.

One warrior fell, and more swarmed up to fill the empty space ahead.

The black waves came with a monstrous momentum, but the big bear in the forward only sneered contemptuously.

Seeing that the tide was getting closer and closer to him, the soldiers at the forefront of the array shouted at the same time, the tower shield was erected high, and the spear stood in the sky, forming an iron wall of defense, like a dam blocking the river, swearing to resist the opponent's attack.

Rumble!

The huge wave crashed head-on into the dam.

......

Once the war started, Li Xingzhou's mentality had returned to normal.

After experiencing too much life and death, I have long looked down on the way of death and life.

Qi Dai Zhu Dan tried to use Wei Hanshuang's to affect his mood, but he didn't know that this psychological exam had been experienced too many times for Li Xingzhou, and it was not difficult enough.

He didn't need to ignore Wei Hanshuang's safety, but he could suppress this concern and focus all his attention on the immediate situation.

These countless lives are rising in the rainbow at the moment of nirvana, and the safety of one person is no longer insignificant.
