Chapter 253: Firearms Show Might
The Tibetan cavalry rushed over the mountains and fields, and the formation was maintained very well.
Guo Ziyi's face was sè, knowing that the person who led the army in Tubo must be a general who can fight well, and he is not small
Look.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "The left wing step forward, the right wing step back, the left archer prepares!" Central defender firearms ready! ”
As his military order was issued, the formation of the Lingzhou guard on the left changed, the cavalry retreated, the shield hand stepped forward, and the archers interspersed behind.
The shield-bearers immediately took up their defense, and the three columns of archers, each with a thousand men, took up their bows and drew arrows, ready to shoot the enemy.
This is just a routine action in the era of cold weapons, and what Zhang Xuan really has high hopes for is not archers, but firearms.
The Divine Fire Raven was equipped with a thousand Divine Ce Army, carrying 7 concaves, while the newly developed Sky Shaking Thunder carried more than 100 pieces. However, although the number is not much, in Zhang Xuan's opinion, this is enough.
Nan Wuyun commanded his subordinates to push the three catapults in front of the formation, at the same level as the archers on the right flank, and then loaded the sky-shaking thunderbolt and prepared to attack. And the 1,000-strong rocket cavalry detachment of the Shence Army after the sky-shaking thunder was ready to charge and launch.
Guo Ziyi glanced back at the firearms team on Nanwuyun's side, and was somewhat suspicious in her heart.
Regarding the so-called firearms that Zhang Xuan repeatedly emphasized to use, he had not seen the power with his own eyes, so he could only be skeptical.
As a precaution, he deliberately strengthened the archers on the left flank, even if it proved that the power of the firearm was exaggerated.
The Tubo cavalry galloped closer and closer, and the Tang army's formation was less than 100 zhang, and it was already clear that the hideous and ferocious facial expressions on the faces of the Tubo cavalry could be clearly seen.
"Shoot the arrows!" Guo Ziyi gave an order, and the arrows rained down and flew towards the Tubo cavalry team.
The Tibetan cavalry had been prepared for a long time, and most of them held small shields. The Tubo cavalry has been fighting with the Tang Dynasty for many years, and has been accustomed to this traditional combat method of the Tang army, and has full experience in resisting the impact of arrow arrays. Therefore, although many Tibetan cavalry were hit by arrows and turned over and fell off their horses, they did not constitute much damage, at least the formation was not chaotic.
Seeing that the Tubo cavalry had entered the range of firearms, Nanwuyun immediately made a decision and shouted, "Release!" ”
The three catapults were launched in an instant, and fifteen sky-shaking thunderbolts flew out, whistling through the air, and rushed towards the Tibetan cavalry phalanx.
The rumbling explosion sounded suddenly, and the impact and damage of the explosion immediately made the Tubo cavalry confused, screaming and shouting, and the neighing of the horses became a mess, and many soldiers were injured and fell to the ground, and were immediately trampled into meat by the chaotic galloping horses' hooves.
This mysterious weapon, the first time the Tibetan people encountered it, they were frightened, and the formation was naturally chaotic.
In fact, there were not many soldiers who were really injured because of the sky-shaking thunder, but in this chaos, the war horses were running around, many of them fell to the ground and collided with each other, and at least hundreds of Tibetan cavalry died in their own chaos.
The formation of the Tang Army erupted in thunderous cheers.
Guo Ziyi gasped, and looked at the face of the firearms cavalry detachment behind Nan Wuyun, and the sè became much more solemn.
"Nanba, rush to kill!"
"Yes!" Nanwu Yunlang shouted loudly, "Sons, the Metropolitan Governor is watching me and others in the army, rush over with this general, don't fall into the prestige of the Divine Army!" Let the Tibetan dog thief taste the taste of the Divine Fire Crow! Come on! ”
Nan Wuyun personally led a thousand cavalry of the Shence Army equipped with five rockets to rush over, and they all fought bravely to be the first.
This is the first battle of the Shence Army in Longshuo after leaving the Beijing Division, which directly determines the status of the Shence Army in the Longshuo soldiers and horses in the future.
In the process of charging and killing, the thousand cavalry took turns to launch rockets in the gallop charge in a certain order, forming a certain rhythm of launching and attacking. The combination of charge and launch can maximize the lethality and deterrence of rockets.
The roaring rockets were so dense that the Tibetan cavalry had no time to dodge and react, and the rockets exploded directly, and the flames rushed, and some directly hit the Tibetan soldiers, igniting a raging fire in a miserable scream.
The military flag fell to the ground, and the people turned over on their horses and the fire soared into the sky, and the scene was very tragic.
Countless Tubo soldiers died directly under the lethality of the rockets, and more of them were frightened, and in panic, they turned their horses' heads and fled back, colliding with their own people who were charging towards the Tang army behind, and died in the chaos.
The firearms under his control exerted great power, directly shaking the entire Tibetan army, causing the rout of the first Tibetan cavalry.
Nanwuyun was very excited, shouting, "All of them!" Launch! ”
Thousands of rockets roared again and rushed into the Tibetan formation at lightning speed, exploding with a bang, making the defeated Tibetan military horses even more chaotic, and many soldiers fled in panic to the surrounding wilderness.
On the side of the Tibetan army, Stanley straddled his horse with a pale face, looking at the remnants of the defeated soldiers and horses, and roared angrily, "Mingjin collects the troops and quickly returns to the city!" ”
The firearms of the Divine Grass show their might.
Whether it was the Lingzhou guards and horses, the soldiers and horses of the Minzhou guards, from the generals to the soldiers, they all gasped, and their eyes became awe-inspiring and enthusiastic.
Guo Ziyi shouted violently, "Pass the order, the left wing and central defenders are there, go all out, and strive to rush the Lanfan army formation in the shortest possible time!" ”
The desolate and majestic sound of the military horn sounded again, and it looked strangely harsh in the neighing of people and horses.
"Datang is mighty! Our army is mighty! Invincible! ”
The 10,000 cavalry of the Lingzhou Wei and the 10,000 soldiers of the remaining Shence Army rushed towards the Tubo army like chicken blood, and the deafening shouts of killing made Zhang Xuan's ears buzz.
The ferocious Lei Wanchun brandished his Mo knife and charged at the front of the entire team, he roared angrily and beheaded the approaching Tubo cavalry, and then drew his knife hatefully and swung it forward, the blood beads on the blade flowed down, flashing in the sunlight with a strange and tragic light.
"Rush to Lao Tzu! If anyone is a bad seed, Lao Tzu will kill him! Rush, rush the fuck! ”
"The credit can't all be taken by Nanba, kill, kill the Tubo dog thief, and most of the governors will be rewarded!"
As he spoke, Lei Wanchun had already led more than 100 cavalry to rush into the Tubo formation, shouting wildly, waving a long Mo knife, rushing left and right, and in a moment, there were several Tubo soldiers who died under his knife.
"Kill!" Lei Wanchun roared almost madly, the bloodthirsty and belligerent nerve in his heart was pierced by blood, and a Tubo soldier rushed over viciously, and when the two horses staggered, the scimitar in the hand of the Tubo soldier slashed at Lei Wanchun's shoulder.
Even though Lei Wanchun dodged quickly and wore leather armor, he was still slashed, and blood suddenly flowed from his shoulder.
"You fucking dismount Lao Tzu!" Lei Wanchun gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and the Mo knife in his hand slashed hard, and actually cut down the Tubo soldier and the horse head to the ground, and the blood splattered Lei Wanchun's body, almost becoming a bloody man.
………,………,…………………………………,………,…,…,
On the periphery of the battlefield where the entire Tang and Tibetan battles were engaged, there was a high slope on the right.
The rainbow 7 cavalry was ready to go, and the scimitar in his hand was shining cold, and he went straight into the sky.
Although he was unwilling to go out with Zhang Xuan to fight head-on with the Tubo army and horses, Gele and Su Hudong were still Zhang Xuan's safety after all, so they asked Su Hudong to lead the 7 cavalry to ambush more than ten miles behind the battlefield, ready to rescue Zhang Xuan at any time.
Standing on a high place, Su Hudong and his subordinate generals saw clearly the situation of Tang Fan's frontal collision on the battlefield.
Su Hudong originally thought that under the impact of the Tubo Iron Cavalry, it would be difficult for the Tang army to resist, and it would definitely gradually rout. Under the command of Guo Ziyi, the whole army covered up the past, and the Tubo army was defeated, and the battle and retreated, fleeing to the city, with heavy casualties.
The corpses of the Tubo soldiers were left on the battlefield, and the messy half-burned Tubo military flag was hidden on the ground, which was shocking!
Su Hudong stared ahead in amazement, and his bright face gradually turned red.
Although she knew that Zhang Xuan's soldiers and horses controlled a mysterious firearm, which was not small, she did not expect that this firearm would play such a significant role in the confrontation between the two armies, and its deterrent power far exceeded its lethality.
"Princess, our army also rushed over to help the war, Tubo was defeated, and there was no doubt that it would be defeated, at this time, our army" A Hui general asked Su Hudong for his life.
Su Hudong shook his head with a complicated face, "No need, Tang Jun hasn't done his best yet." You see, there are more than 10,000 state guards and horses on standby. It seems that Governor Zhang Xuan is also guarding against the Tubo people from another ambush and covering up from behind. ”
"Our army is here, if there is another ambush in Tibet, we will come forward to help the battle, if not, just leave it."
A very strange feeling rose in Su Hudong's heart, which could not be described in words.
She never thought that Zhang Xuan, a powerless scribe, would really dare to come to the battle array and lead the army to fight a decisive battle with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Tubo, and there were really signs of a big victory!
In the midst of the chaos, Stanley fled to the city under the protection of the guards, and shouted angrily, "What about Gyatso's people? Why hadn't Gyatso's soldiers and horses arrived yet? Bastard, delay the military plane, this king will never spare him! ”
In fact, Gyatso's 10,000 soldiers and horses were ambushed behind the White Horse Camp, and from the White Horse Camp to this side of the battlefield, a distance of more than ten miles. Originally, the plan was so thorough that as long as Stanley's side fought with the Tang army for half an hour, Gyatso's ambush troops would come from behind.
But no one expected that the firearms of the Tang Army showed their might, and the Tubo cavalry was in chaos during the time of tea, and the soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and they couldn't control it. ”
The firearms of the Divine Grass show their might.
Whether it was the Lingzhou guards and horses, the soldiers and horses of the Minzhou guards, from the generals to the soldiers, they all gasped, and their eyes became awe-inspiring and enthusiastic.
