Chapter 845: Fighting Again with the Same Sect
Half an hour of bombing, the Tibetan side did not hesitate to bombard the consumption of thunder, stunned that a small raft was not allowed to go ashore, the Tang side is this countermeasure, there are not many soldiers on the big raft, all the small rafts are put down, half an hour to put down thousands of small rafts, just to consume the enemy's thunder.
Looking at the seemingly endless small raft in the center of the river rushing over, Li Mingxin vaguely felt that something was wrong, it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty not to care about the life and death of the soldiers, after all, they only had 50,000 soldiers available, and the loss of a thousand boats, at least the death of 5,000 soldiers, could not repel them?
He hadn't figured it out yet, comparing Li Mingxin's specialization in technology in the academy, not a military general and strategist.
Datang anchored in the center of the river, directly a row of big boats and set up in the center of the river, one to be a suspicious soldier, the other to be a small raft launcher, the more Tubo consumes thunder, the better Datang's strategic purpose will be completed.
When half of the thunderbolts in Tubo's inventory were consumed, Li Xinzhong found that something was wrong, at this speed, after a night, Tubo would lose the thunder, wouldn't it become a tiger with teeth extracted?
"It's not good, it's a straw boat borrowing arrows." Li Mingxin exclaimed.
It was only at this time that Li Mingxin woke up and thought of a book of the Three Kingdoms that he had read, Li Xinzhong listened to his brother's explanation and scolded the other party for being shameless.
But if you want to say that this way to crack it, the best thing is to ignore the boat, knowing that the other party is a fake person and a fake boat, and then consume ammunition needlessly, isn't it a fool?
But Tubo is difficult to ride a tiger, and it can't stop the launch of thunder at all, because who knows if Datang will replace the dummy with a real person to cross the river to attack after stopping the defense? Tubo doesn't dare to gamble, and he can't afford to gamble, this is the upright conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty.
"Hey, it would be nice if we also had a projection device with a long range and low consumption like Datang, but it's a pity." Li Xinzhong sighed, after all, Li Mingxin is a stealing teacher to learn art, even if he knows that Datang may have transformed the bed crossbow into a ballista, but he does not have this ability, he can only do a good job of air defense and anti-explosion measures on the shore, and his own bombing still relies on catapults.
The generals on the Datang side in the center of the river laughed and said, if they continue to consume each other like this, if they don't wait for the boat to finish, the other party may not be able to hold it, it is impossible for the Tubo thunder to accumulate hundreds of thousands in one winter, and it is an overestimation of him to have 100,000 pieces.
"Hehe, let these boys blow us up with thunder, and wait until dawn, it's time for us to turn around and take revenge." Cheng Huaimo said with a smile.
"Such a conspiracy, Prime Minister Cao Cheng also sent 100,000 arrows to ensure safety back then, how could the two half-hangers on the opposite side block it?" Li Ye said disdainfully.
Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "Master's war book wrote a kind of naval warfare weapon, called a mine, which is specially used for shore defense, and the enemy's landing warship will inevitably explode if it touches it. ”
Everyone nodded, in that case, it seems that there is no need to even arrange the catapult, many people who have not read this military book have praised Li Chengqian for reading a wide range of books, in fact, this is also the emperor Li Er's order, Zhongnan Academy is a treasure trove, and there is a chance to draw more treasures to the family.
Seeing that the thunder was still consumed, Li Xinzhong knew that the situation was not good, and it was possible that the enemy would be able to counterattack in the morning, so while there was still a trace of vitality, it was time to retreat, this second natural danger could not stop Datang, damn it, what the hell is this weather.
"Second brother, the Tibetan River can't be defended, we should withdraw, withdraw to Luoqi City, we still have a chance to live." Li Xinzhong said distressedly.
Li Mingxin's face was lost, and he was powerless to ask, "Withdraw?" Is the city of Les still safe? Isn't the city of Metuo strong? We can't crack Datang's ballista, brother, I'm afraid we won't have a chance. ”
"Hmph, what are you talking about, I have already made a deal with the Western Turks, as long as our brothers hold out for a month, there will inevitably be chaos in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, there are still seven days, we will have a chance to hold on for seven days." Li Xinzhong shouted.
"Seven days? Can you trust the Western Turkic barbarians? Bai Fan is a person who will repay him, Li Yuanji and Li Yuanba, the emperor can't order. ”
"Success or failure, retreat first and then talk, we can't sit here and wait, leave a thousand people bluffing, we retreat overnight, the fog can give us half a day to retreat and march."
Hong Qianli and the others in the center of the river saw that the sound of the other party's thunder had become sparse, and the boat even began to land through the net, and the enemy did not go up to capture it.
"It's not good, the enemy wants to flee, quickly, the ballista will open the way, and the army will get on the ship and land on the beach." Cheng Huaimo ordered loudly.
It was still a thousand ballistas, and the covering bombardment was carried out a few hundred meters away, and the soldiers left behind in Tibet were covered by a slash and a cover before they could react, and by the time everyone knew that they had hid in the air-raid shelter to avoid the artillery, nearly half of the 1,000 abandoned sons had been killed.
The Tang Dynasty bombed all the way non-stop, and the 50,000 troops sat on huge rafts, lined up in two miles and landed on the shore, and quickly exterminated the remnants of the Tubo soldiers who did not dare to show their heads, and under the leadership of Qin Huaidao and other generals, they quickly pursued the Tubo army.
This time on the edge of the Tibetan River, the Li brothers were defeated, the last time the canyon official road Datang lost in the geographical advantage, this time Tubo lost in the sky.
Although Qin Huaidao did not have cavalry in hand this time, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and the majority of the infantry in Tubo had already seen the tail of the enemy after an hour of pursuit.
I can't help but say that a thousand crossbow artillery set up a position, directly covering from a distance, and a thousand thunderbolts exploded at the tail of the enemy, causing heavy casualties, so that the enemy's escape speed increased by three percent, and many Tubo soldiers only hated their parents for missing two legs.
After an hour of pursuit, the army of Tibet was sharply reduced from 70,000 to 20,000, and the remaining 50,000 were either killed or captured.
Seeing that the enemy was in hot pursuit, the city was still far away, and the 20,000 people couldn't carry it far, Li Xinzhong was disheartened, and finally recognized the reality, I am afraid that this time it is difficult to escape.
After leaving 20,000 to defend the decision, he took 2,000 elite soldiers to escort the Li family's clansmen out of the army, and Li Xinzhong waved his hand to stop the team.
"Second brother, by now, we have almost no way out, we can't even escape, my last breath of vitality in Longxi is leaning on you and me, someone must sacrifice." Li Xinzhong said to Li Mingxin with a solemn face.
"After I go to break off, I will be in the same door, I can hold them back for a while, the same is a foot pawn, my brother led the clan to escape from Tibet, and went west over the snow-capped mountains to take refuge." Li Mingxin said resolutely.
Li Xinzhong smiled bitterly: "Hehe, how can it be so easy, the big snow mountain in the west is known as the first day of danger in Tubo, and if you want to pass through, it is impossible to die, and Datang will not give us time and opportunity."
Have you forgotten, as I said, you are the future of my Longxi Li clan, anyone can die, but you can't, so this time, after breaking off for your brother, you have to take your clan to live. ”
"Big brother is my only relative, if you die, how can I be the only child?" Li Mingxin said stubbornly.
"Confused, what is important to continue the family bloodline?
It's a pity, at this time, my brother really understood the mood of my grandfather to survive, and Li Xinzhong, a descendant, was wrong.
Second brother, I have acted too viciously in my life, and it is impossible to survive after making countless mistakes, but you are different, you are the most promising person to find a way out for the clansmen in the hands of Datang, you can't be stupid. Li Xinzhong suddenly let out a sigh of emotion as if he had been enlightened.
"Hehe, how is that possible? I've killed so many people, and I've almost killed a lot of my fellow disciples, and there's no way they'll be able to tolerate me. Li Mingxin said in despair.
