Chapter 129: Wonju Victory
"Brothers, the one in front is the mulberry bear, let's kill him and catch him." Shi Jian saw Sang Xiong leading the team to rush up, his blood-stained face showed a terrifying and hideous smile, and Mo Dao rushed forward with a wave.
The attack of the Modao battalion was different from that of ordinary troops, so I saw Shi Jian Modao raised, and the Modao battalion quickly formed a team, and it was actually lined up on the battlefield, and 30,000 people alive at the moment quickly lined up a huge phalanx of about 5,000 people in each row of six rows in front and back, each row was scattered, and the space distance in the middle was about the same as the length of Modao.
Shi Jian's Modao Battalion had already carved these tactical moves into their bones, so these actions were completed almost instantly. When Shi Jian stood in front of the queue, Sang Xiong's 40,000 cavalry of the Chinese army also accelerated to the extreme, rushing towards the Modao battalion at a speedy speed.
"All the ballistas are reloaded, the explosives pack is ready, count down to three, three, two, one, fire." The commander of the Hellfire Brigade who followed Wang Houchun's Southwest Group Army raised a red flag in his hand, and hundreds of explosive packs flew into the sky at high speed, and then roared again: "The Hellfire Brigade will prepare immediately and launch it for the second time." ”
This is the second time to deal with the Tubo explosives bag, and for a year, Sang Xiong has been thinking about how to restrain this strange weapon, but the gunpowder thing is not even cleared in the Central Plains. In fact, in history, the appearance of gunpowder on the stage of the military field at the end of the Tang Dynasty was actually an extremely accidental event, and at present, this epoch-making weapon is still exclusively owned by the Tiance Army, and there is no other semicolon. However, although Sang Xiong didn't know what gunpowder was, he also studied a very useful countermeasure in his opinion, that is, to concentrate his troops when charging, not to scatter the formation, and to maintain the fastest speed to rush over, and to maintain that all the war horses that came this time were carefully selected and specially trained, that is, to deal with the appearance of explosives bags at any time.
So seeing these explosive packets flying out of the air again, Sang Xiong didn't even care about the crossbow arrows that were rushing by, and shouted directly: "I order, the whole army accelerates, don't ignore this, rush over for me, and kill the Han people on the opposite side." After saying that, he shook the horsewhip fiercely and took the lead in rushing forward.
"Boom Boom" These explosives bags began to explode one after another after landing on the ground, because Sang Xiong gave up dodging in order to emphasize speed, resulting in the formation of the troops being too dense, and this explosion directly set off countless personnel and war horses, and the black and red smoke rose into the sky like a pillar of smoke.
"Haha, brothers, kill, these days to kill the Tubo people, the descendants of Anxi are looking for you to avenge a hundred years of revenge." Shi Jian laughed and got up, and the Mo knife that was dragged upside down was also raised at this moment.
"Rise", the long and vicissitudes of Qin Yin convey the power across time and space, at this moment, all the Mo swordsmen who followed Shi Jian to raise the knife seemed to understand this unique voice in an instant, and also understood the invincible scene of the invincible army galloping across the country a hundred years ago.
"Fall", everything ended in this stagnant voice, the knife light was shining, such as a strong advance, the Mo knife fell, the head rolled, all the obstacles in front of him were ruthlessly crushed, countless high-headed horses were cut to the ground, and the knight on horseback was also beheaded with a knife.
After the first platoon attacked, it was immediately pushed aside, not even thinking that the comrades around him were not overrun by the enemy's horses. And the second row followed. The same Qin sound sounded again, and the same killing also befell this land again, unlike the bloody rain set off by the explosives pack, this kind of human-powered slaughter seemed to be truly terrifying. When Sang Xiong was in the first row, the war horse under his feet suddenly stepped on the body of a Mo knife hand, and ran to the back, but there was another Mo knife in front of him, and the bright knife light made Sang Xiong stunned, and then suddenly provoked, and at this moment, the Mo knife of the Mo knife hand also slashed the Sang Xiong's war horse at once, the horse's head was cut off at once, and the blood spurted far away.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Sang Xiong's forehead, if he had been a little slower just now, the huge sword light would definitely have split himself in half. After avoiding this catastrophe, Sang Xiong turned around, but he was immediately stunned, and then roared angrily, and the scimitar in his hand frantically slashed at a strange knife hand beside him.
"Bang dang" There was a loud bang, Sang Xiong's arm was shocked and numb, and the Mo knife hand in front of him was shocked by this huge force and flew out, but what surprised Sang Xiong was that his steel scimitar hit with all its strength and did not hurt the other party in the slightest, and this time obviously made the other party angry, and after getting up, Mo Dao slashed up again.
Sang Xiong hurriedly raised his knife to block the slash, but at this time, a sharp pain suddenly came from behind him, and he fell to the ground in the dark, and the last sentence came from his ears: "Old boy, if you have a big fate, one person will dare to create in my Mo Dao Array, if it weren't for the order of the big handsome, I would have cut you directly." ”
However, after Sang Xiong was defeated, the first three rows of the Modao Battalion could not maintain the formation, and the Tubo cavalry like Sang Xiong, who had broken through the first two sword formations, arrived in the formation.
"The whole army changes formation, let me rush forward." Shi Jian didn't care about this, and led the Modao battalion to continue to rush forward, cutting the big cake of the Tubo cavalry layer by layer like a huge long knife.
"Xu Ying, you lead the team to rob and kill the stragglers behind the Modao Battalion, and I will lead the team to complete the task of the commander." After Li Tianyi and Xu Ying worked together to take Santo, they decisively changed their plans when they saw this scene. Let Xu Ying stay behind to clear the field, and he took the seventh battalion to bypass the Chinese army and go towards Wonju City from the south.
Xu Ying saw Li Tianyi and turned around and took his sixth battalion to divide a group to besiege and kill the stragglers, and the rest of the hellfire brigade was ready to advance with the Modao battalion. At this moment, the Hellfire Brigade has stopped firing explosive packs due to the chaos of the battlefield, and has changed to crossbow arrows to target sniping. The improved ballista can now follow the infantry freely on the battlefield.
With the giant knife of the Modao Battalion advancing in front, Xu Ying even felt a trace of leisure on the battlefield, and this kind of extreme power that advanced and destroyed the withering and decaying made Xu Ying feel a little emotional. But then this thought was removed from his mind, and he began to abide by his duties, following the troops to keep up with the pace of the Modao Battalion, and began to cover its actions from the side.
Besides, since the Chinese army of the Tubo cavalry lost the command of Sang Xiong, it began to lose its central brain, and with the passage of time and the massacre of the Modao battalion, the ills of losing command gradually expanded, and finally began to gradually collapse.
Shi Jian felt that he was almost numb from the beginning of the battle, and the Mo knife he was holding was no longer as powerful as before, but the enemy in front of him made his blood continue to surge, and a typical qi was supporting him. Like him, the soldiers of the Modao Battalion are still very tired, and the thirty-pound steel armor on their bodies has become extremely heavy, but they are rushing forward vigorously, as if as long as there is an enemy in them, they will never be tired.
"The enemy began to retreat, general, the rear of the Tibetans began to retreat." Xu Ying finally rushed down in front of Shi Jian with his own people, and the guards on the front line reported this important news.
Shi Jian and Xu Ying glanced at each other, and they both saw the ecstasy in each other's hearts.
"Immediately send an order to the whole army, no matter who it is, as long as all the people who are in the right way to take up arms for me, kill me, and win or lose in one fell swoop." Xu Ying immediately asked the horn of the army to inform the war drum team, and the whole army assaulted, and pursued frantically forward.
"Brothers, kill me." Shi Jian felt that he had inexhaustible strength again, and Mo Dao began to move forward, calling on his Mo Dao battalion to step forward bravely.
So the most bizarre scene in history appeared, a group of infantry began to chase the cavalry, and these cavalry were not ordinary cavalry, but the Tubo people who had been crisscrossing the northern Tibetan plateau for a hundred years.
At this time, the Tibetan Chinese army had completely collapsed, and the forward plus the Chinese army had been killed by half of the total number of Tibetan cavalry, and the remaining cavalry began to rush away from the direction of the rear army.
However, this time the pursuit immediately showed the inferiority of the infantry, even the infantry of the Southwest Army had a lot of advantages over the other infantry in speed, but it was still far inferior to the cavalry, and after only a short distance, the two immediately disengaged.
"What about the direct battalion? Where did Lu Yi go now? Shi Jian watched the cavalry in front of him drift away, and said angrily. But before he could finish his words, the cavalry in front suddenly turned back again, and with an earth-shattering bang, the figures in the firelight scattered like falling petals, and the chaos was incomparable.
"Haha, Brother Xu Ying, Lu Yi is here, only the directly subordinate battalion can directly block the retreat of these people, let's hurry up, don't let anyone go this time." Shi Jian rushed forward, and the sound of wild laughter shook the heavens and the earth.
Naturally, it was the directly subordinate battalion that came, but the chaos was not created by the directly subordinate battalion, but the third battalion and Wang Houchun, who disappeared from the beginning.
"Marshal, should we rush up with the battalion now?" Xue Yang saw Wang Houchun standing there alone, watching the directly subordinate battalion beside him continue to pass over him, rushing towards the Tubo people, and came over to ask.
"What's wrong? Itchy hands? Didn't enjoy it just now? Wang Houchun looked at Xue Yang's eager appearance and smiled: "Okay, I won't tease you, don't you still have an explosive bag that hasn't been used up, order the troops to go and fight with the seventh battalion to take Yuanzhou City together, and this will be the jurisdiction of our Tiance Mansion in the future, and it is also the outpost position of the former northern Tibet, you take it easy, don't blow it up." ”
"Don't worry, Dashuai, when this side is over, I promise to cooperate with General Li to take Yuanzhou City." As soon as Xue Yang heard this, he immediately became interested, saluted Wang Houchun, and then began to assemble the third battalion and head towards Yuanzhou.
There is no suspense on this battlefield with the arrival of the new force of the battalion directly under it. The Modao Battalion and the Sixth Battalion don't even need to move forward, just close the encirclement, and the rest are all driven back and forth by the direct battalion, and these Tubo people who have lost their fighting spirit are driven in, and directly start to capture prisoners, and some are dissatisfied and go up directly to slaughter, compared to the devastating slaughter of the Modao Battalion, the people of the direct battalion seem to be very elegant, and the war horses gallop back and forth, taking away a fresh life, and every time the improved saber is waved, it will bring a rain of blood.
"General Shi, it's been a hard work, why don't you take the brothers of the Modao Battalion to rest." Xu Ying saw Shi Jian's figure beside him shaking, thinking that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, I'm okay. Don't worry, brother, I'm excited. This is the second time that our Tiance Army has defeated the Tubo people. Shi Jian waved his hand and smiled: "But what my brother said is right, the Modao Battalion is estimated to have lost its strength after fighting for so long, but at this time, you can't mention resting, otherwise this breath will no longer be able to muster up, and our Modao Battalion is fighting with this breath." ”
"Then let's go to the direct battalion to help the leader, the cavalry is not good at capturing prisoners." Seeing this, Xu Ying didn't say much, pointed ahead and smiled.
The two men commanded the troops to begin to narrow the encirclement, sending men into the battlefield to assist in the rapid handling of the Tibetans who had laid down their arms. In this way, it was equivalent to liberating the combat power of the battalion directly under it, and the 30,000 cavalry against the Tubo cavalry, which had lost their soul and lost their command, lasted only half an hour, and the war was basically over. Xu Ying took the initiative to take over the capture and detention of the prisoners, and was ready to let the Modao battalion rest, and let the direct battalion go to Yuanzhou to support Li Tianyi and others. But at this time, Wang Houchun rode a horse and hurried.
"General Xu, take the prisoners and the people left behind in the battalion, and the others will follow me into Yuanzhou City as a team." Wang Houchun said after taking a look at Shi Jian's Modao camp.
"Dashuai, hasn't Yuanzhou City been fought yet? Go now? There were more than 30,000 captives. Xu Ying was very surprised by this order, and glanced at the captives who had already begun to be tied by their own soldiers in groups of ten with their feet and hands tied.
"Listen." Wang Houchun made a rare joke, pointed to Yuanzhou City, where the city tower could be seen in the distance, and said with a smile. With his gestures, as if he had made an appointment, there was a loud noise again from the castle tower, and the appearance of the earth and stones bursting could even be felt by them seven or eight miles away.
"Okay, the team of 20,000 people will enter the city, and the worthless city defense of the Tubo people will be cleaned up by the time we rush over." Okay, the direct battalion goes first, the others go with me, the Modao battalion is delayed, and the prisoners are handed over to the sixth battalion in the middle, and let's set off towards Yuanzhou. Wang Houchun was also stunned for a moment and said with a smile.
Ordering the armies to move immediately, a huge long dragon quickly rushed towards Wonju. This big war after a year has basically come to an end.
