Chapter 154: Right Xiaowei's entire army is annihilated
On the top of the hill in the Aron River Valley, a man in black stood silently in the moonlight.
Looking at the cavalry team that gradually drove in, the man in black gradually calmed down.
"The spies are still counting the number of right guards cavalry entering the valley, and they have not yet been fully calculated."
A subordinate reported to him.
"It seems that the initial sacrifice is always inevitable."
The man in black said.
"Then light the fireworks and inform Kudayan."
Soon after his voice fell, a brilliant fireworks burst into the night sky.
This firework flew so high that it seemed to touch the bright moon, and I believe everyone in the valley could see it.
The man in black looked at the fireworks that gradually disappeared into the moonlight, and after a long silence, he suddenly said.
"The right cavalry guard of the Tang Dynasty is known as invincible in the world and has never been defeated?"
……
The Right Cavalry Guard is the most terrifying combat force in the field.
There is no resistance at all.
However, nothing is perfect, and heavy cavalry has its weaknesses.
The armored mount was too heavy to run long distances.
Moreover, due to the influence of armor, the flexibility in narrow areas is inferior to that of light cavalry.
This is the most obvious weakness of the heavy cavalry.
The biggest problem is that the maintenance cost of the right horse guard is really amazing.
A right cavalry guard needs to be equipped with a large number of auxiliary soldiers, and the consumption is extremely terrifying.
In today's world, except for the Tang Dynasty, there is no country that has the ability to organize a formed heavy cavalry.
But the right cavalry guards are called battlefield heavy weapons, which naturally makes sense.
This kind of cavalry, which has been given the mission of charging and charging again since the day of its birth, is a nightmare for countless enemies.
The valley of the Yalong River is long and dense, and logically speaking, it is not suitable for the right cavalry guards to set up a formation and charge.
Whether from a strategic point of view or from the perspective of specific tactical arrangements, Cheng Boxian has lived up to the name of a wise general.
If no accident happens, when the right Xiaowei crosses the Yalong River valley and reaches Shanzhou City.
The so-called elite troops of Tibet, after tonight, will become a small record in the history books and a joke on the street.
Fireworks light up the night sky.
The right Xiao cavalry near the river valley, carrying a long Pu knife on his back, looked up at the sky, and looked calm and confident.
Cheng Boxian looked at the fireworks and ordered softly:
"Sortie."
…………
The man in black also saw the fireworks.
The corners of his lips curled higher, and he looked very satisfied.
"Cheng Boxian is the most famous person in the Tang Dynasty, and he is used to calculating people's hearts with interests."
However, he forgot the most important point, that people's hearts can be calculated, but the general trend is irreversible.
The man in black looked at a group of subordinates around him and said:
"The curtain has been opened, this is the first battle of my party, so let's kill all these proud Tang people."
After saying this, he lightly lifted the reins of his horse and left with his subordinates.
……
The Aron Valley is particularly beautiful at night.
The autumn trees on the mountain are glowing with cold and poignant colors by the moonlight, like a fairyland.
The cavalrymen drew their scimitars and swung them forward, pinching their horses' bellies.
"There should be no problem."
There was not a single torch in the great straight road on the side of the Aron Valley, and no sound could be heard.
The moonlight that leaked through the trees fell on the body of the heavily armored right Xiao Guard cavalry, and the surface of the armor of people and horses was glowing with a cold light.
This is the cavalry battalion of the right Xiao Guard of the Tang Dynasty.
The general of the vanguard battalion pulled down his armor, slowly drew his straight knife, pointed diagonally at the night in front of him, pointed to the river with a murderous sound, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Run over!"
......
The horse's hooves gradually moved, and the heavy Xuanjia right horse guard stepped on the hard ground.
As it had done for countless years, the charge began again, and the earth began to tremble.
The entire valley of the Aron began to shake.
Cheng Boxian has been training soldiers for more than ten years, and all the details of the entire Right Xiaowei operation have been carefully arranged and designed, and he is very skillful.
There is a Tibetan sentry post in the Yalong River Valley, where more than 100 Tibetan cavalry are stationed.
Seeing an unfamiliar team entering, more than 100 Tibetan cavalry rushed across the river in turn.
Then they fell down one after another, and more than a dozen tripping ropes, like poisonous snakes, tore countless horses' legs.
The right guards who have been in ambush on both sides of the valley for a long time.
They began to shoot arrows, and arrows rained down, but in a matter of moments, the cavalrymen were screaming for their lives.
The battle never ends.
Almost at the same time, the entire valley resounded with the sounds of fighting and screaming.
Blood smeared the night, and severed limbs flew in the moonlight.
When the right Xiao Wei of the Tang Dynasty and the right Xiao Horse Guard rushed out of the straight road on the side of the valley like an iron stream.
The Tibetan soldiers subconsciously looked to the north, and then they saw those big right guard cavalrymen who were all black.
"Tang people!"
"There are Tang people!"
"Retreat!"
The Tang Xuanjia Right Xiao cavalry guard simply ignored the exclamation of the Tubo cavalry, maintained the most perfect speed, and continued to charge towards the river valley with a terrifying momentum.
Everywhere you go, the grass fades away.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
The hillside at the mouth of the valley collapsed with a bang.
Immediately afterwards, several adjacent hillsides collapsed one after another.
Smoke and dust. Countless bricks and wood blocks, piled up like hills, blocked the retreat of the river valley.
The anxious and frightened look on the face of the Tibetan cavalry general became hideous.
He held the scimitar in his hand, looked at the right guard who still maintained a charging position, and no longer retreated.
The remnants of the Tibetan cavalry no longer retreated.
On the chaotic river valley straight, more stumbling ropes suddenly appeared, entwining the hooves of the horse's horsemen on the right side of the Tang Dynasty.
The right cavalry fell to the ground heavily, and the heavy armor collided with the hard ground, making a dull sound, and blood flowed out of the gray armor.
In the mountains on both sides of the Yalong River Valley, more Tibetan troops appeared, and they began to shoot arrows at the right Xiao Guard cavalry.
The rain of arrows suddenly raged, and the edge of the armor of the right Xiao Guard cavalry actually shot several feathered arrows at the same time.
From time to time, the hillside collapsed, and the straight road of the river valley became an insurmountable obstacle for the right cavalry guards.
There were cavalry, along with mounts, which were buried by the collapsed hillside and could no longer stand up.
It was indeed an ambush.
The right Xiaowei of the Tang Dynasty is invincible in the world.
Can we remain invincible today?
Cheng Boxian looked at his subordinates who kept falling, his voice was cold, he looked at the Tubo army on both sides of the Yalong River Valley, and said.
"Kill them all, and we'll get out."
Cheng Boxian looked at the Yalong River Valley in the night, holding the Pu knife tightly with both hands, and his knuckles were slightly white.
He squinted his eyes and was silent for a moment, his right hand loosening.
Then he gave three military orders.
"The whole army is scattered, kill people at will, and be sure to hold out until dawn."
Cheng Boxian looked at everyone and said:
"We've been defeated!"
"Then you're going to lose beautifully."
After saying this, he glanced at the party member in the army.
That party member is the clan elder of the Xifeng clan, Xifeng Beiying, otherwise he would not be qualified to appear here.
The West Wind North Eagle smiled miserably and committed suicide with his sword.
"We've lost."
Cheng Boxian looked at everyone and said.
"Then you have to lose beautifully, if there are still people alive among you after this battle, remember to bring a message to the queen. This defeat is in the word trust, so Datang can no longer trust anyone except the Tang people.
…………
Cheng Boxian is a leader of the middle-aged generation of the Tang Dynasty, who is known for his resourcefulness.
In addition to the raid on Tibet, he did not forget to make his own arrangements.
To be on the safe side, he left about a thousand cavalry on the right side to arrange a rear route.
The military order was transmitted to all parts of the valley through the scouts, and the cavalry soldiers of the right guard fought bravely to kill the enemy, desperately killing the rear, and gradually gathered together.
If the right cavalry is allowed to join forces and then rush out of the river into the wilderness, then the dead land will become a living place.
If you want to annihilate tens of thousands of right guard cavalry, it will become very difficult.
With years of forbearance and disguise, the Tibetans and black-clothed people got such a good opportunity.
How could such a thing be allowed to happen, and at the beginning of the battle, the whole river was filled with stones.
The methods of the Tubo people are very ruthless and very desperate, and they directly seal the river with 10,000 catties of stones.
As a result, even after the war, the river was abandoned.
However, if you do this, even if the right Xiao Guard cavalry reaches the mouth of the river, it will not be able to get out at all.
Ten thousand catties of stone were only a few feet away from the tunnel and rolled down, and the ground of the river was covered with blood, and the corpses of the defenders of the Tibetan State were lying in a pool of blood.
I heard a loud bang.
Ten thousand pounds of stone fell.
The iron gate slammed into the ground.
……
The guard looked at the fireworks rising in the east to warn, and his face turned pale.
Cheng Boxian stopped, but the expression on his face was still calm.
He said after a moment of silence.
"Since you can't go, then you won't go."
Ambushes took place throughout the Aron Valley.
The right cavalry suffered an extremely heavy blow.
However, they still charged fearlessly, brandishing the Pu knife in their hands, stabbing the spears in their hands, and continuing to charge.
The right guard faced the toughest situation.
Those enemies who came like a tide, those Tibetan barbarians with terrifying archery skills, it seemed that they could not be killed.
But how can there be a real enemy in the world that cannot be killed?
All the Right Guards had one conviction.
Just like the general said, as long as we kill all these enemies in front of us, then we will naturally be able to get out.
The terrible sound of fighting, the dull sound of collision, resounded constantly on the river.
Like a tide, the Tubo army was actually scared of being killed by the right Xiao guard cavalry.
In the wide area where the two armies intersected, a gap appeared.
Cheng Boxian handed over the Pu knife that had been cut out of the gap to his left hand, and said in a deep voice:
"Keep charging!"
As long as they rushed out of the river, the Tibetans could no longer organize an effective interception.
Then he could follow the generalissimo's prior plan and make a surprise attack on Tibet.
He didn't look back, and he knew that less than half of the 30,000 right guards under his command were now left.
This was the heaviest blow suffered by the Tang cavalry in decades.
But he was not sad, because he believed that every cavalry under his command had killed at least several times his own enemy before he died.
That's enough.
This way you can puff up your chest and go back proudly.
Cheng Boxian lifted the reins of the horse, rode forward, and slashed down with a knife, cutting a Tibetan cavalryman in half from the sword and arrow to the body, and then passed through the blood rain and rushed forward.
Suddenly, his injured right hand, which was holding the horse, became a little stiff.
The mount, which was already a little tired, then stopped.
The hundreds of guards behind him also fell silent.
The Tibetan cavalry had already been scattered by them, and the formation was disorganized and scattered on the side.
However, the gap that seemed to allow the right Xiao cavalry to leave had been filled by the Tibetan cavalry.
Cheng Boxian squinted slightly, lifted his visor, and looked across the river.
He wiped the blood from his face, was silent for a long time, and then burst out laughing.
"I want to prove one thing all my life, you Tibetan cavalry are only worthy of carrying horse boots for us, but I didn't expect that before I died, I actually ushered in such an opportunity."
Cheng Boxian's laughter gradually subsided, slowly raised the Pu knife, and said:
"Who wants to kill me with me?"
The hundreds of right cavalry behind him responded in unison, without fear, only with a desperate fighting spirit.
……
It's getting dark.
There were dead bodies everywhere in front of the river.
There are Tang people and Tibetan people, and the blood that has not yet completely coagulated flows out like a stream.
Looking at this tragic scene, the Tubo Duowei general Kun Dayan was extremely pale.
I secretly wondered if these right-hand cavalry were human beings.
How could there be such a terrible determination in such a desperate situation?
Tubo and Tang have been hostile for many years, but they have never won victory on the battlefield, and have always been on the side of being humiliated and bullied.
Last night's war was undoubtedly the greatest victory ever won by the Tibetans in the war against the Tang Dynasty, and it deserves to be written about to express the grievances of the Tibetan people for many years.
In a corner of the Yalong River Valley, a young Tibetan army found a cavalry soldier of the Great Right Guard who had not completely died, swinging his knife and cutting it down, looking extremely numb.
The right guard cavalryman was already dead, and he didn't feel much pain after being slashed with so many knives on his body at this time.
Indifferently looked up at the young Tubo army, his eyes full of sarcasm.
He spat at the Tibetan soldier, his chest and lungs had already pierced countless holes, his breath was about to stop, and his saliva was bloody.
He couldn't vomit far at all, so he landed on his chest and died.
The young Tibetan soldier was startled, threw away his sword, and fled crying.
……
"Listen to the Han people in the valley, we, Lord Kundayan, have said that as long as you lay down your arms, we will guarantee that you will live."
A Tibetan man shouted in half-baked Chinese.
There were also a few horsemen of the Right Guards standing in the street, standing in the midst of the encirclement.
They put Cheng Bo in the middle.
Cheng Boxian's body was covered in blood, and there was no expression on his face.
A moment later, several more cavalry of the Right Guard fell to the ground.
"General, what do we do now?"
Several guards were looking at Cheng Boxian, hoping that Cheng Boxian could get an idea for them.
"Brothers, are you afraid of death?"
Cheng Boxian wiped the blood on his face and suddenly laughed.
"General, the brothers have died so many times, how many of us are missing?"
One of the guards laughed too, perhaps numb to death.
The army gradually divided.
The man in black and Ku Dayan looked at Cheng Boxian, who was standing with his sword in his hand.
Obviously, they successfully calculated this famous Tang Dynasty general who is known for his resourcefulness.
In the end, he won, but he didn't feel much joy.
Looking at the general in front of him, the man in black even felt a little cold
During last night's battle, he suffered an extremely severe knife wound to the shoulder.
The strength of the right cavalry is simply terrifying.
