Chapter 638: Fierce Battle

At the front of the fortifications of the Jiannan military camp, Wang Yuan stood with a fully armed sword and watched the battlefield.

The Tibetan army chose to attack at night, but Wang Yuan couldn't ask for it. Horse rejection and giant spear formations can be used as a surprise. When the Tubo people went out of the city with great fanfare and put on an offensive posture, the Jiannan army arranged the rejection horses at a very fast speed within a distance of two hundred paces in front of the battalion, and the range of strong bows and ordinary bows and crossbows was within this range.

As expected, when the Tibetan cavalry was trapped and compressed by the rejection of the horses, the archers' several volleys were extremely lethal, and the Tubo people paid a heavy price. But what was different from what he expected was that Wang Yuan didn't expect that the cavalry of Tubo would brake urgently and stop patrolling, which was very rare on the battlefield. This fully shows that the Tubo army in front of them is actually only seemingly strong, and the recruits do not know how to advance or retreat on the battlefield, and the problem of being timid and afraid of death is exposed.

After a short period of panic, the Tubo people once again stepped into the quagmire of rejecting horses, and after the Jiannan army fired seven or eight rounds of arrow rain in a row, the Tubo cavalry finally rushed to a distance of thirty paces. From 200 to 30 paces, this short distance of more than 100 paces can be reached in a few minutes of cavalry charge. But on the battlefield at this moment, these more than 100 steps are hell and abyss step by step. In a short distance of more than 100 paces, Wangmu's Tubo cavalry paid huge casualties, with countless casualties.

But finally crossed this hell with flesh and blood, and when they saw the figure of ** who was huddled behind the wooden fence and released arrows, even the recruits in the Tubo cavalry gritted their teeth and accelerated towards the enemy camp, wanting to trample them into powder.

The distance of thirty paces was in the blink of an eye, and although there were many casualties, the momentum of tens of thousands of cavalry rushing in overwhelming the mountains was still impressive. There were also timid soldiers in the Jiannan army, and when they saw the Tubo cavalry that appeared from the night and rushed like a wave, they also stood with their faces like white paper. Thirty steps! Twenty-five steps! Twenty steps! It was close enough to see the hideous faces of the Tubo cavalry clearly, and smelled the fishy smell emanating from their bodies, Song Jiangong waved the order flag, and the ** behind the wooden fence moved together, and immediately pushed the wooden fence to the ground, and put it diagonally on the east edge of the trench. A row of spiky logs became a great wall of giant spears in an instant.

The distance was too close, the speed was too fast, and the Tibetan cavalry didn't even have time to react, so they crashed into it like a tide rushing onto a reef. A muffled snort sounded involuntarily after being hit by a huge force, and this muffled snort was more terrifying than the terrible scream. The entire platoon of Tibetan cavalry toppled to the sky, followed by the hoarse neighing of the horses and the terrifying screams of the soldiers. Countless Tibetan cavalry crashed into the huge spear tips, and luckily the horses temporarily held the knight's life at the cost of the scar of laughter from the sunken sternum. The unlucky one was poked from the horseback by the giant spear, like a chicken picked on the tip of the spear, and after a few swings, it fell to the ground with a bang.

Although the huge spears could not penetrate their bodies, because the giant spears were so thick, they could only knock the Tibetans and their horses to the ground, leaving a huge concave wound on their bodies. But this injury is even more fatal and effective than a puncture injury. The gap between the spears was so small that no knight could rush through the gap in the middle without the impact of the spears. Therefore, almost a whole row of Tibetan cavalry was blocked by giant spears and tumbled down in the trench.

** The soldier quickly stretched out his spear and stabbed it into the trench, killing them with men and horses. Then, the next wave of Tibetan cavalry also surged. Their fate was the same as that of the previous Tibetan cavalry, after crashing into a giant spear, they fell into the trench and were stabbed to death by ** random robbery.

This method of fighting and killing the enemy is simply a little too easy, giving people a very unreal feeling. Especially Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi, they felt that all this was beyond their imagination. When he led the army, he didn't feel like this when he fought against the Tibetan soldiers and horses, but in front of Wang Yuan, all this became so easy and logical.

The Tubo people did not become weaker, their charge was fierce and fierce, but they had to accept more than a dozen rounds of baptism of the ** arrow rain under the blockade of the horses, so it is not unusual for tens of thousands of people to die before they touched the ** battalion. In the face of the giant spear array, it is not surprising that the Tubo people can only accept the fate of being overturned and dismounted and slaughtered. It may seem unreal, but these things happen logically. Then all this can only be attributed to prior planning and preparation.

And smart as Li Guangbi also saw from a small detail how careful Wang Yuan thought about this battle. The trench around the wall of the Great Spear was not necessary for many people when they were dug up. It was impossible to dig a trench in such a hard, dry ground, to think of it as part of a fortification. Not only can't you dig deep and wide, but you can't even attract water. It was wishful thinking to form a moat-like line of defense on the outskirts of the camp.

Li Guangbi and Ge Shuhan also discussed it privately, and they both felt that this move was unnecessary and a pure waste of manpower. But they couldn't say these words, but they didn't say a word in their hearts. In fact, after the trench was dug, because the hard ground was only dug less than a foot wide and less than four or five feet deep, this was a small shallow ditch that could be crossed by a war horse with a jump, and people could quickly climb up if they fell. At that time, Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi smiled at each other, laughing without saying a word.

However, now, Li Guangbi finally discovered the magic of this trench, and he really admired Wang Yuan's meticulous planning down to every detail. This trench was nominally a fortification, but in fact it was a deep pit before the giant spear into which the corpses of Tibetan soldiers and horses fell. In a tragic battle, if the casualties on both sides are large, the impact of these corpses on the battlefield has to be taken into account. The accumulation of dead soldiers and horses is actually a factor on the battlefield that affects both the offensive and defensive sides. Especially in the current battle, if there is no trench before the giant spear, then the corpses of the war horses and enemy soldiers will be piled up, and after a few rounds, this will become a high wall of human flesh, which can be used for the Tibetan soldiers and horses to leap over the giant spear array into the camp, so that the defense ability of the giant spear array, the most effective defense line, will be wiped out.

And after having this trench, at least within a few rounds, these corpses will fall into the trench, and they will never become a factor affecting the giant spear array. It's the little details, and it's the difference between victory and defeat on the battlefield. It is the accumulation of these rings that makes the whole battle seem quite unreal in the eyes of others, because it is done to the extreme.

Li Guangbi, who boasted of being resourceful, sighed deeply, ashamed that he was far from Wang Yuan. He told Ge Shuhan about what he understood, and Ge Shuhan was silent after hearing it. He stabbed a spear into the body of a Tibetan cavalryman who had fallen into the trench in front of him, his face full of surprise and admiration, mixed with a hint of shame.

The giant spear array is unbreakable, and tens of thousands of logs have been cut down and shipped back in the past three days, and the wall of the giant spear that has taken more than 50,000 ** of a lot of effort and time to build has finally had the effect he deserves. Of course, this is due to the recklessness of the Tubo people who thought they could break through the ** camp in one fell swoop. They didn't need to rush so hard, but they chose this method of warfare, so they were restrained to death.

Wang Mu finally realized a serious problem, the Jiannan Army in front of him seemed to be a hundred times more powerful than the other ** he had seen. Before his soldiers and horses rushed into the ** camp, they had already suffered a large number of casualties. Wangmu didn't even dare to think about the number of soldiers and horses killed, he didn't want to hear it, it must be a terrifying number. Right now, under the rush, ** is blocked by the giant spear array, and the only thing that can restrain the giant spear array is to slowly rush up, and the slow speed can avoid being injured by the giant spear. But it's not impossible to use cavalry as infantry, but the problem is that if you charge up slowly, the ** archer can't shoot soldiers without any scruples. It's not fast or fast, it's slow and slow, it's like all the roads are blocked.

When Wangmu was muttering curses but could not do anything, he rode to his side, and he knew that this was the general of the personal guard under the great general. The thought of Guwangmu's eyes lit up, and his soldiers and horses were still outside the Lixu at this moment, but there was no sign of attack.

"Why didn't the general attack? What kind of heart do you have? Didn't you see that my soldiers and horses were badly lost? When Wangmu saw the lieutenant, fire rose from his heart, and he roared loudly.

"Attack? Will I die with you? The general has an order to withdraw your troops immediately, and the general must personally direct the attack. The lieutenant looked at Wangmu with contempt, and sped away at a gallop.

Wang Mu gritted his teeth and cursed, looked back at the soldiers and horses he was slaughtered by **, and finally ordered loudly: "Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops immediately." ”
