Chapter 271: A Pyrrhic Victory

"Knock knock!" The dull sound of drums woke Chen Fei from his sleep, and when he got up, he saw that everyone else in the camp tent had serious faces, and they were busy wearing clothes and armor and hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, and soon, only Chen Fei and Yin Ping, who had not woken up, were left in the camp tent.

"What are they doing here?" Chen Fei suddenly woke up and hurriedly stumbled to get dressed.

"It is estimated that the camp is about to open, you should hurry up." Yin Ping glanced at Chen Fei with disgust, and continued to hold his arms coldly.

Chen Fei hurriedly took a piece of cake out of the camp, stuffed a few mouthfuls into his mouth, and went to the Zhongjun camp account to find Cheng Yanjin.

Fortunately, when the war came, the big guys were so busy that no one noticed that Chen Fei was late, and he escaped.

The war is getting closer and closer in the footsteps of everyone's hurried march.

The 15,000 vanguard army led by Cheng Yanjin arrived at the foot of Songzhou City first, and set up a formation to meet the attack, making a buffer for the troops behind.

The Tubo people seemed to know the strength of the Tang army, but they just stood on the city wall, looking at the army under the city wall indifferently, and no one opened the city gate to lead the troops to meet the enemy.

"It's a tough bone!" Cheng Yanjin squinted at the city wall, his face was not very good-looking. "It seems that the Tubo people plan to defend Songzhou to the death, and if they continue like this, once our army relaxes, they will immediately counterattack! If you don't take the Tibetan ...... before the morale fails"

Cheng Yanjin shook his head and sighed heavily.

A general beside him didn't care, and said nonchalantly: "General, do we think too highly of the Tubo people?" Their army is not very strong in combat, and if we launch a fierce attack, we may be able to take Songzhou in one go. ”

Cheng Yanjin glanced at him and didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"The troops behind are coming!" The silence was broken, and everyone looked back and saw a few horses hurrying forward, asking Cheng Yanjin to go to the Chinese military tent to discuss matters.

Cheng Yanjin came back in less than a stick of incense after leaving, and gave the order, "Siege!" ”

The three-way army opened, and the archers went up first, and sent round after round of arrows to the city wall.

There don't seem to be many archers in the Tibetans, most of them use dart guns, so the long-range shooters on both sides of the bow and arrow against the dart gun began to suppress each other first.

There were archers who died tragically with several darts and guns, and there were also Tibetans who were shot into sieves by the rain of arrows.

In the end, after all, it was the archers of the Tang army who were superior, the city walls were covered with a rain of arrows, no one dared to take the lead, and the soldiers of the Tubo people hid behind bunkers to avoid the rain of arrows.

Cheng Yanjin saw that the Tubo people were pressed, and immediately waved his hand fiercely: "The siege ladder is for Lao Tzu to erect!" What about siege engines? Go up! ”

"Kill!" Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the Tang army rushed out of a group of people, carrying siege ladders or pushing the roof of siege vehicles, and everything seemed to be developing quite smoothly.

But will the Tibetans really make it all go so smoothly?

Just when the siege vehicle was about to arrive at the city gate, suddenly, the city gate was opened, and countless Tubo people came out from inside, first the cavalry, followed by the Tubo infantry, looking at the momentum and equipment, this is the regular combat strength of the Tubo people, just came out, and killed the soldiers who pushed the siege vehicle or carried the siege ladder.

Cheng Biting Jin was shocked and shouted: "It's not good! The Tibetans are out of the city! Evacuate! Let the archers withdraw, what about the cavalry? Press up and cover the archers' retreat! The pikemen put up a horse rejection formation for Lao Tzu to meet the enemy! ”

The number of Tibetan cavalry was about four or five thousand, and after a round of charge, many archers of the Tang army were scattered and died tragically. There were only a few archers who fled back, only a hundred or so people.

Cheng Biting Jin's eyes were red, and he shouted: "Cavalry? Hurry up for Lao Tzu! Kill the fucking bunny! ”

The cavalry of the Tang Army set up a formation, and in the shouting of the generals, they urged the horses to attack, like a sharp knife, and pierced straight into the chaotic cavalry camp of Tubo without formation.

The soldiers who rushed to the front inevitably collided with each other, horses collided with horses, flesh and bones shattered, and the screams of people before death echoed clearly on the battlefield.

After the cavalry charge of the Don army, they quickly formed a formation in the rear of the enemy and once again charged towards the enemy. The horseman's riding skills were not as good as the Tang army, and the infantry would not put up a horse formation, so they suffered a big loss in a hurry, and the cavalry and infantry were scattered, and many Tubo people simply lay on the ground to avoid the cavalry of the Tang army.

However, the Tang army did not give them a chance to buffer, and after two rounds of cavalry charges, the infantry charged. With 100 people as a team, the Tubo people on the battlefield were cut into pieces, and the front and back could not be connected, and they were moved and destroyed in batches.

There was a one-sided situation on the battlefield, the more the Tang army killed, the more momentum the Tibetan army retreated, just when the morale of the Tang army was the highest, suddenly more than 10,000 Tibetan soldiers and horses were killed in the mountains and forests on the left and right, and went straight to the middle camp of the Tang army!

"Not good! Ambush! Cheng Yanjin's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the Chinese army hurriedly met the enemy.

However, the Tubo people are not vegetarians, perhaps their frontal combat strength is not as good as that of the Tang Army, but their ability to sneak attack must be very strong.

More than 20,000 soldiers and horses attacked the middle camp of the Tang army on the left and right, because almost all the soldiers of the Tang army were sent out, and the soldiers and horses in the middle camp were less than 5,000, and the army of the Tubo people was almost killed in an instant!

Chen Fei, who was close, could clearly see the bloodthirsty expression on the faces of the Tubo people because of excitement. In the eyes of the Tubo people, these generals of their Chinese army are military merits and rewards!

Human desires are infinitely magnified in blood! So the bloodshed is even more tragic, like hell on earth!

"Mo Dao Team! Left and right! Cheng bit the gold and shouted, the soldiers on the left and right sides of the middle camp suddenly dodged, and the two thousand-strong Mo knife teams lined up in formation and quietly stared at the Tubo people in front of them, fierce beasts, about to show their fangs!

Be quiet! The battlefield fell silent for a moment!

The solemn atmosphere in the air stimulated the hearts of the soldiers on both sides, and the Tubo people looked at the Mo Dao team in disbelief, as if they smelled the bloody smell emanating from the Mo Dao, they no longer screamed, but instead panicked!

"Drink!" The Mo knife team suddenly burst into a shout, and the Mo knife in their hands danced like a cutting machine, unlike the cutting machine, what they were going to harvest was human life!

The Tubo people didn't know the strength of the Modao array, and saw that there were only a thousand people, although the momentum was amazing, but the number of people was too different, and the Tubo generals gave an order, and the army pounced on it again with a strange scream.

However...

"Ahh A Tibetan soldier screamed, his body was cut out of a huge gap by the Mo knife, blood gushed out like a fountain, fell to the ground and pulled out, and soon, he was indifferently trampled under the feet of the advancing Mo knife team.

"Uhhhhh

..........

As the soldiers who rushed forward died tragically one by one, the Tubo people finally discovered in horror that this thousand-person Modao team was not something they could afford to provoke!

They have already paid several times the price, but the Tang army has not hurt their bones at all!

The Tubo people were afraid, and at this time, the troops in front of the Tang army retreated, killed the Tubo people with a return gun, and the Tubo people who were disillusioned could no longer hold on, leaving more than 1,000 corpses and fleeing back to the city, and the siege battle came to an end for a short time.

In this battle, more than 8,000 Tibetans were killed and wounded, and 4,000 people and horses of the Tang army were killed and wounded.

Victory! A real fiasco!

The Tang army retreated for ten miles, the camp was full of screams of wounded and sick, and a dark cloud was cast over the camp, pressing on everyone's hearts and lingering!
