Chapter 348: Great War Eleven
When Wei Chigong saw that the Tibetans had converged, he did not rush to attack, but slowly approached, waiting for the infantry to encircle.
The main force has been besieged, and the other two Li Xiaogong and the three junior generals have begun to besiege.
"Drop! Or die! Yu Chigong shouted across the horse with a phoenix winged gilt boring.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The Datang soldier raised his weapon and roared loudly.
Surrounded on three sides, the morale of the Tang Dynasty is higher than that of the Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, Tubo is tired of attacking the city, and now it is surrounded again, ordinary soldiers only know that this is the Tang Dynasty reinforcements, and they can't see how many people there are, anyway, they think that they are surrounded, and they will definitely fall behind, and they will lose most of them from the heart.
Drinking Kumaro looked around and saw that many people were flustered, and hurriedly boosted morale and said: "Don't be afraid, we still have an army of 100,000, and these Tang people will not be the opponents of the Tubo warriors." ”
"Your prime minister has run away, surrender and avoid death!" Wei Chigong continued to drink loudly, attacking the hearts of Tubo and damaging their morale.
"Don't listen to their nonsense! The Tang people are the most cunning, kill them, and after entering the city, they will not seal the knife for five days! Seeing that many people listened to Wei Chigong's words, they were all frightened, and hurriedly said loudly with comfort and encouragement.
"Kill!" Seeing that the other party had no intention of surrendering, Wei Chigong raised his weapon and charged on his horse.
"Kill!" More than 20,000 cavalry roared angrily and followed closely.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The drums of the infantry formation were beaten, and the soldiers followed the drums, approaching in unison, shouting and killing, and the sound of neat footsteps stepped heavily on the ground.
Although many of the Tibetan warriors have experienced a lot of battles, they have never encountered a formation like Datang, training formations, neatly aligned, and before they have even fought, they have been frightened and timid.
"Dalang! Jiro! Attack with cavalry! "Drinking Kumaro is not a straw bag, and immediately let his two sons lead the troops to the top.
Turning back, Kumaro commanded the other tribes to meet the two lines of infantry.
Yu Chigong didn't fight for long just now, Gar Dongzan admitted defeat and retreated, he had already held back his anger, carried the phoenix wings gilt boring in his hand, and rushed forward quickly, and the guards behind him held the horse lance to protect the left and right.
Niu Jinda, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanshu are also fierce generals, so they are naturally not willing to lag behind, and they also take the cavalry to meet the battle.
Whether it is cavalry or infantry, the best equipped and most elite soldiers are often arranged at the front when charging.
"Kill!" Several people were like sharp swords, forming four conical formations, and rushed towards the Tibetan cavalry.
"Kill!" The Tibetans also charged!
Soon the cavalry collided with each other, and when it came to battle, no one was thinking about who was better than whom, and there was only one thought in the head, rush! Kill all enemies in sight.
At this time, the fierceness of the Tubo people was revealed, and they did not flinch, facing the Tang army, brandishing scimitars and spears, constantly attacking, attacking.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all veterans who have seen blood, and they did not show weakness, and they also did not hesitate to bump into them, but fortunately, the people who rushed in front were the personal guards of the generals, as well as some elite soldiers, the weapons and equipment were very sophisticated, and the combat effectiveness was also very strong, and most of them were horse lances, and of course the long weapons were more dominant, which offset the gap in numbers.
But cavalry combat, especially this kind of hedge, is more about persistence, and in the brave soldiers, they will also be knocked off their horses by a continuous stream of enemies.
Fortunately, most of the pro-soldiers are full body armor, even if they fall off the horse, as long as they are not injured by the war horse, they can immediately get up, pull out the horizontal knife, and continue to fight.
Wei Chigong has a special armor sent by his good son-in-law, coupled with divine soldiers and long weapons, constantly cutting the enemy in front of him into two with men and horses, and for a time he was particularly conspicuous in the crowd, constantly advancing forward, and the cone composed of the guards around him was fiercely inserted into the middle of the Tubo people.
Although Xue Wanjun and the others did not have divine weapons, their armor was all the best Mingguang armor, and the guards also had fish scale armor, which was very easy to kill.
The two sides are fighting together, although the number of Datang is small, but at this time it reflects the benefits of cooperation, Datang soldiers are often several people close together, horse lances, spears stabbed forward, and Tubo are all at their respective targets to swing knives.
The 70,000 people on both sides fought together, and the killing was inseparable for a while, but on the infantry side, the Tubo people suffered a big loss, although they were also numerous.
"Shoot the arrows!" When it entered the firing range, the Tang army array was a bow and arrow, flying towards the Tubo people.
At most, the Tubo people have some leather armor, hard bows and steel arrows to defend against the Tang Dynasty, which can be described as unsatisfactory, and they can be easily pierced.
From the emergence of blast furnace steelmaking in Datang, all arrows are made of inverted molds, all of which are three-edged arrows, and the size of the arrows in the inverted mold is the same, and they only need to be sent to the place to make the arrow shaft.
Another advantage of steel arrows is that they can be recycled, and you can just replace them with a shaft.
The Tibetan people usually fight on the plateau, and they face more bone arrows and tooth arrows, which are made of animal bones and teeth, and the leather armor can be very well defended, except for a little pain, there is no big problem.
But for steel arrows, leather armor is not as good as silk, several percent of silk can also entangle the arrow, so as not to get into the flesh, but the leather armor can be easily pierced, and the three-edged arrow, almost to ensure that the enemy of the arrow in the battlefield has no hope of survival, many enemies are bleeding, watching themselves die.
"Put!" As the military formation continued to approach, the generals were also constantly urging the release of arrows.
The tragic Tubo people, whether it is leather armor or wooden shield, the defense effect is too poor, even if it is a thick wooden shield, it will crack if it is shot many times by steel arrows, and even directly break the pure, just like cutting wood, after all, making wooden shields is to find a big tree, and will not consider what kind of wood to use.
The Tubo people also have bows and arrows to counterattack, but there are too few, the siege of the city for many days, the arrows have long been exhausted, and occasionally a few arrows, for the Tang Shield Array, completely ignored.
Of course, the Tubo people will not stand still, under the shouts of the centurion and the thousand-year-old, they run quickly, just like approaching the Tang soldiers earlier, so as not to be used as a target.
They did approach the Datang soldiers very quickly, but something more desperate happened, as soon as they got closer, the Datang shield fell to the ground, forming a wall, and the spears behind them kept stabbing out, harvesting their lives.
No matter how they slashed with their scimitars, the steel shield in front of them stood still, and the soldiers behind did not know the situation in front of them, and were still rushing up quickly, because only by rushing up could they not be shot by bows and arrows, and they had no backhand power.
The military formation of the Tang soldiers was originally designed to prevent cavalry, and the weapons and equipment were also aimed at cavalry, the big shield was thick and strong, and the spear was also a lengthened version, which only needed to be pierced, withdrawn, and pierced.
