Chapter 502: Killing the Enemy and Demonstrating
Along the Indus River to the southwest, the terrain tends to be gentle, the area of the alluvial plain of the river valley gradually increases, and large areas of arable land and dense forests can be seen everywhere, and abundant sunlight and water lead the way to abundance.
In a lush forest, more than a thousand people were ambushed and motionless, as if they had integrated into their environment and become a part of the woods.
A few days ago, the Tibetans sent scouts to let Bot not prepare a large number of pack horses and slaves to help transport the results back to the city.
Eliminating these Tubo people and taking over their wealth has become the most urgent goal of the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry to achieve.
Patience always pays off. Just after noon, a long dragon of people, horses, goods and goods was mixed from the lower reaches of the valley.
The six monkeys lay under a bush, silently counting the ploughing cattle in the Tibetan team hundreds of paces away.
God knows how many ploughing cattle there are downstream, in short, there are at least tens of thousands of Tubo people in the ranks from beginning to end. In addition to other camels, mules, horses and other livestock, there are countless of them.
"Obediently, the Tubo people are going to change their careers to farming!" Iron Bull couldn't help but smack.
The six monkeys whispered: "Plant a bird field, in the eyes of the Tibetan people, livestock are nothing but food and transportation. ”
Iron Bull smiled, this is indeed the case. The Tibetans used the looted oxen to pull cartloads of grain, and other goods were hung on the backs of camels and other livestock, including many 'women' who were tied to the back of horses, and of course, slaves who were strung together by ropes.
It took an hour for the six monkeys to see the dragon tail of the Tibetan people.
"Let's strike!" Tie Niu was inexplicably excited, and he was convinced that the general cavalry only needed one charge, and the Tubo people would be defeated. Although the Tibetans had the upper hand in strength, they were loose and unformed, and their attention was all focused on their results, and they had no sense of the danger that was imminent.
The six monkeys shook their heads, the general's intention was very clear, what he wanted was to annihilate everything, and the order given to him was to intercept the escapees and the fish that slipped through the net.
Lang Qin was quite satisfied with being the sweeper of the "sheepfold", this was a very lucrative job, although he only had 3,000 horsemen, but it was enough to deal with those farmers who were as docile as sheep. Not arrogant, practice proved that his ideas were correct. Millions of people from all the countries below the rank of Karma, under his nimble horses' hooves and 'fine' bow and arrows, had not organized a decent resistance at all, and if it were not for the fear that summer was coming, the Tibetan warriors, who were accustomed to the cold climate of the plateau, could not stand the heat, and Lang Qin would have wanted to continue down the river until the end of the downstream, where there was more wealth.
Perhaps because he was confident in his own strength, but more because he was paralyzed by the weakness of the valley states, Lang Qin's habit of letting go of scouts was completely forgotten when he reaped his richest fortunes, and he did not think that the soldiers of the valley countries could pose a threat to him, and he did not think that these tactically stupid river valley warriors had the courage to challenge them.
Entering the territory of the Karma Country, the Tubo people are even more relaxed, the monarch of the Karma Kingdom is a servile and servile person, it is too late to scold them, and he does not dare to rebel if he is given the courage, no, he said that he wants slaves and transport vehicles and horses, they are not obediently prepared and waiting in advance?
Getting the news that the prince personally brought more than 10,000 slaves and a large number of pack horses out to greet him, Lang Qin got carried away and laughed, and his expectations for entering the city increased rapidly.
As the army of the Masters approached, Lang Qin stepped forward, and as the distance narrowed, he saw that something was wrong. Behind Suga there were 10,000 people lined up neatly, silent, and on the surface, there was no doubt that he was with a well-trained and powerful army.
How can that be? Are the Karma Masters demonstrating to our warriors in Tibet? Lang Qin was furious. The news that Ning Yuan's iron cavalry crossed the Tanju Ridge did not reach his ears, and he did not know that the city of Sindo had been lost, so he thought that Su Jia was behind the soldiers of the Qiang Shi Kingdom.
Lang Qinda looked down on the country in his heart, and their soldiers were not beaten even if they looked at it, at most they were strong and middle-class.
"Bastard, you Suka......"
As soon as the scolding started, something incredible happened, Lang Qin couldn't believe his eyes, he actually saw a knight next to Sujia 'shooting' an arrow at him.
When will the people of the Karma Master country ride and 'shoot'? And who gave them such boldness?
As soon as the idea was formed, sharp arrows had fallen from the sky like meteors, piercing his 'chest' accurately.
Lang Qin shook and fell off his horse.
"Impossible!" Lying on the ground, Lang Qinkong's 'hole' eyes looked at the blue sky, and he stretched out his hand to pull out the feather arrow in front of his 'chest' to see what was penetrating the 'fine' chain mail on his body.
Lang Qin did not succeed, and before he died, he saw the feathered arrows in the sky like locusts, passing over him and pounced on the target behind him; As he was dying, he heard screams coming from behind him......
Of course, Sujia didn't have the guts or strength to provoke the Tubo people, and it was Li Huaitang who pierced Lang Qin through the heart.
Li Huaitang's arrow sounded the horn of the attack, and thousands of longbowmen created a 'wave' of dense arrow rain. Sharp arrows do not distinguish between humans and animals, regardless of human race, and they are either killed or injured when encountered. The head of the Tibetan team was immediately attacked, and all the people and livestock within a hundred paces in front were 'shot' hedgehogs.
Su Jia opened his mouth into a circle, petrified on the spot, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have guessed how terrifying Ning Yuan's iron horse's strength was.
Li Huaitang glanced at Su Jia with a smile, the effect he wanted had been achieved, and in this life, I am afraid that Su Jia would not even have the idea of resisting.
"Onward! No mercy! "Li Huaitang burst out with arrogance and ordered the Tiger Horse Soldiers to 'hand' over and replace the pressure.
The tiger rider obeyed the order, and two spear and shield men mixed with a crossbowman entered like a wall, and the crossbow arrows flew out from time to time, rushing to the target aimed by the crossbowman, and the Tibetan cavalry screamed and fell off their horses.
In the panic, under the leadership of a centurion, dozens of famous knights rode out, bent down on horseback and rushed straight to the thick formation of the tiger horse.
Poor Tubo people, almost no one realized that they were facing the powerful Ningyuan Iron Cavalry, and thought that the attackers were the people of the Qianshi country who wanted to eat black. So the warriors of Tibet were out of anger, and planned to use their scimitars to teach these inferior beards who were not long-eyed.
A strange horn sounded, the spear shield and crossbowmen in the front row knelt down on one knee, and the crossbowmen in the back row raised their crossbows in front of the 'chest' and pointed forward.
The crossbowmen turned and stepped back, and the crossbowmen behind them stepped forward and continued to release their bolts.
After two rounds of crossbow arrows, all the cavalry charged by the Tibetans fell in a pool of blood.
The Tubo people finally saw it clearly, and they also figured it out, it was a strong crossbow that slaughtered them, and the inferior Hu did not have a strong crossbow, and the enemy in front of them was either the Tang Army or the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry!
The identity of the enemy is no longer important, what matters is whether or not you can escape the hunt of a strong enemy.
In front of the strong crossbow array and the spear and shield array, the Tibetans did not think that they had a chance to break through, they only had less than 3,000 cavalry, and any counterattack seemed pale and powerless and futile.
At this time, there was no need for anyone's orders, and the Tibetan cavalry turned their horses and fled for their lives.
Ning Yuan's iron cavalry shouted and killed, and thousands of cavalry launched a pursuit from both flanks. These thousands of cavalry are made cameos by the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Cavalry, and the war horses come from the capture of the previous battles with the Tubo people, they are not professional cavalry, but their riding skills are not bad, and they are fully qualified to take advantage of the opportunity to cover up the work, and the threat to them from the Tubo people who cannot form an army is basically zero.
On the plains of the river valley, the fugitives scattered in panic, and the pursuers outflanked the wolves on their wings.
If hard battles are compared to the cultivation period, then the pursuit of victory is the harvest period. Of course, Li Huaitang is indispensable for the peache-picking operation, and at this moment, there are only two personal soldiers by his side, Hu Yijian and Zhang Qiu.
There is a saying that when the book is used, there is less hatred, Zhang Qiu is not good at archery, and he watched Li Huaitang and Hu Yijian reap the fruits unhurriedly.
The train is not pushed, and the archer is not blown. Ning Yuan's two most powerful archers don't come out, who will compete? With the sound of strings, a Tibetan knight screamed and fell off his horse. Li Huaitang 'shot' four hits, and Hu killed five people with one arrow and five arrows.
"Mitsubishi arrows, give it to me!" Li Huaitang stretched out his hand to ask for an arrow from Zhang Qiu, who had not fired an arrow. Mitsubishi arrows can effectively penetrate the chain mail on the Tubo people, but this kind of arrow is relatively heavy, and the number of them is not much, only five per horse, and Li Huaitang consumed one when he 'shot' the main general of the Tubo.
Zhang Qiu smiled bitterly and pointed at Hu Yiji. Li Huaitang saw that there were still four stocks in Hu Yijian's quiver, and another one was already on the string.
Li Huaitang didn't have to guess to know that the two of them had been following behind him, and Hu Yijian had already made a small move to deceive Zhang Qiu's heavy arrow.
"Kill!" Li Huaitang roared angrily, and then pulled out his war knife and drove the horse forward. Zhang Qiu listened to the order of the 'spirit' and was shocked, and raised his horse lance to follow the left flank protecting the general.
Zhang Qiu is not good at arrows, but he is naturally good at guns, horse lance is a kind of gun, after the guidance of horse lance instructor Xue Ling, his horse lance kung fu is becoming more and more 'fine' Zhan.
Taking advantage of the fast speed of sweat and blood, Li Huaitang easily caught up with a Tibetan cavalryman, wielding a knife to harvest his life, but unexpectedly, a horse lance on his side intercepted first.
"Protecting the General, it's my duty!" Zhang Qiu smiled shamelessly.
Li Huaitang laughed, pulled the horse's head lightly, leaned to the right, and caught up with an enemy soldier, wielding a knife to kill, unexpectedly, a feather arrow took the lead, and the results fell side, and he didn't have to look back to know that this was Hu Yijian's masterpiece.
"Good!" Li Huaitang was not angry, and continued to chase to the next target, the battlefield was full of deserters, his war horse was fast, and he did not worry about harvesting.
After Li Huaitang wielded his sword and killed two Tibetan soldiers, the enemy soldiers entered the ambush circle of the six monkeys, and more than 1,000 generals rode out of the woods with a roar, directly taking the Tubo people who fell into despair.
The lives of the Tibetans depend on the speed of their war horses, however, in the plains and hilly areas, their war horses cannot outrun the war horses, and the total destruction of the army is their only fate......
