Chapter 349: One Arrow Might

"The first regiment of the cavalry battalion rushed to attack!" With Zhao Ziliang's order, a thousand-man cavalry regiment lined up in ten columns, and under the leadership of the captain, rushed out of the military formation and rushed towards the right side of Qingshiping.

Dazaru Gong watched this Tang cavalry rush towards his left side at a very fast speed in a neat formation, and he and the Tubo army behind him were very puzzled and dignified.

"What are the Tang cavalry trying to do?"

Just when this thought arose in the hearts of Dazarugon and the 3,000 Tibetan soldiers, the sound of horses' hooves like rolling thunder swept in, and the momentum was extremely huge, and Dazarughan and the 3,000 Tubo soldiers couldn't help but change their faces greatly, and they were shocked by this momentum.

"Release the arrow-" When the Tang army rushed to the right side of the arrow away from Qingshiping, it suddenly turned to the left, facing the Tubo army formation of Qingshipping Mountain on the side, with the captain of the leading army shouting, he first shot the first arrow in his hand, and the rows of Tang cavalry behind him began to row arrows, the front row just finished releasing arrows, and the back row continued to release arrows, wave after wave, and the arrows fell in the middle of the Tubo army formation like a downpour.

"Mounted archery, this is mounted archery! Such a clever method of riding and archery, hiss-" Seeing this, Dazaru Gong couldn't help but scream, his face changed drastically, and by the time he reacted, the rain of arrows had already shrouded the military formation.

He had just shouted, "Stand your shield, put up your shield!" ”

The Tubo army had already fallen to the ground with pieces of arrows, and with only a breath of delay, the Tubo army in the army array suffered hundreds of casualties.

Of the 3,000 Tibetan troops, less than 1,000 were equipped with shields, and more than 2,000 were completely shrouded in the rain of arrows.

"Ah······h

"Flutter-"

Screams, the sound of spitting blood, and the groans before death spread all over the entire Qingshiping in the blink of an eye, and a large number of arrows fell on the Tubo army every second, and the Tang cavalry was always one stone's throw away from the Tubo army, in the range of bows and arrows, the Tang army's bows and arrows had an absolute advantage, although Dazaru Gong organized some archers to counterattack and suppress the Tang cavalry, but the range of the bow and arrow was insufficient, and the Tang cavalry used the speed obtained after this high-speed charge to launch arrows, which greatly improved the range. And it was always out of the range of the archers of the Tubo army, so that the Tubo soldiers could only be beaten passively but could not do anything.

Dazarugon kept swinging his broadsword and knocking the arrows that came at him, and his heart was dripping blood, even if he didn't have to turn his head to look back, just the sound from behind him could tell that the soldiers under his hand had suffered heavy casualties.

After a regiment of cavalry of the Tang army rushed in front of Qingshiping, the second regiment came one after another under the order of Zhao Ziliang, and it was another cavalry regiment of 1,000 people, which did not give Dazarugong and his Tubo soldiers a chance to rest at all, and a large number of arrows fell from the sky again in the Tubo army on Qingshiping.

The sound of horses' hooves rolling like thunder came, which meant that death had patronized, Dazarugon's face became more and more pale, he was not physically exhausted, not afraid, but distressed like this, according to this, the Tang army as long as the arrows were enough, they could continue to fight with this tactic until the arrows were exhausted and the horses were tired, and at that time, I was afraid that the Tubo army on the bluestone flat had already been wiped out.

"No, we can't be used as a live target by the Tang Army like this anymore, we have to find a way!" Dazarugon knocked the arrows that kept shooting in one hand, and his mind was quick to think of countermeasures.

That's right! Dazaru Gong immediately ordered: "The sword and shield men will stay in a circle to block the bows and arrows, and the others will all retreat behind the houses and tents to hide, quickly!" ”

Although this order was given a little late, it finally saved the lives of the Tibetan soldiers who had neither shields nor been shot, but dozens of people were nailed to the ground by arrows as they retreated to the back of the houses.

Zhao Ziliang, who had been riding a horse and standing still, saw that the soldiers of the Tubo army had withdrawn in large numbers behind some scattered houses and camp tents, leaving only a part of the sword and shield soldiers to protect them with shields and guard near the fence to prevent the Tang army from rushing to Qingshiping, so he ordered to stop the attack, and the Tang cavalry rode back to the military formation one after another, and lined up in a neat formation again.

Acting like the wind, swift as thunder, uniform, like an arm, this level of tactical literacy makes Dazarugon keep snorting, such a cavalry is simply terrible, it seems that this cavalry is still a little rusty in cooperation, but as long as time passes, this cavalry has the power to fight even in the face of an army of 100,000.

After the military formation was formed again, except for some war horses snorting, swinging horsehair and tails, there was no sound in the military formation, which made Dazaru Gong even more frightened, it was simply terrible to keep the army like this, no wonder the second prince Lang Zhidu, Iron Blade Xi Nuoluo and Marshal Mang Bu Zhi were all defeated and returned, Zhao Ziliang really deserved his reputation!

Just when Dazaru Gong and his soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Ziliang stepped forward again and said loudly: "General Enlan, now that you are trapped in Qingshiping, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no door to enter the ground, and it is a matter of time before you are destroyed!" God has the virtue of a good life, Zhao's previous promise is still valid, as long as the general agrees to hand over the new city and lead the army back to the south of Chiling, Zhao will not be embarrassed! ”

Dazaru Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Zhao Ziliang's words, at this point, he didn't want to take the soldiers to withdraw safely, but if it was at the cost of handing over the new city and retreating to the south of Chiling, he really couldn't agree.

Taking a deep breath, Dazarugon said loudly: "Thank you General Zhao for your kindness, Dazarugon wants to ask the general, if the general is in my position, how to deal with it, and ask the general to teach me!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned when he heard this, and sighed: "Okay, since this is the case, then Zhao will make a bet with the general, if the general can take Zhao's arrow, Zhao immediately ordered to retreat ten miles, let the general lead his troops to withdraw to the new city safely, and Zhao will fight with the general in the new city in the coming day, if the general can't take Zhao's arrow, and the arrow is killed, then everything is over, Zhao immediately waved his troops to attack, and killed all the Tubo troops on Qingshipping!" ”

Dazaru Gong listened to another burst of bitterness in his heart, Zhao Ziliang's arrow had cracked his tiger's mouth before, and now it is not good, and now he has no information whether he can take it again, but at this point, he can only promise Zhao Ziliang, and immediately said: "Okay, if I can't take the general's arrow, and the arrow lives and dies, then naturally everything is over, the general can do whatever he wants, I can't stop it anyway, if I am lucky enough to take the general's arrow, please keep the general's promise to retreat ten miles, so that our army can return to Xincheng safely!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said solemnly: "I, Zhao Ziliang, guarantee it with a head, and the soldiers of the two armies can testify to it!" ”

Dazarugon nodded and said in a loud voice: "Then please start general, Dazarugon is ready!" After speaking, he tightened the broadsword in his hand, ready to block the arrows at any time.

Zhao Ziliang took out the treasure carving bow and the steel carved arrow, and while winding it up and aiming at Dazaru Gong, he asked Ma Lu: "Where are the infantry?" ”

Ma Lan arched his hand and said: "General, General Wang has already followed with the infantry, and it is only fifteen miles away!" ”

"Good!"

Just when Dazaru Gong paid close attention, Zhao Ziliang's hand pulling the bow was released, and the stainless steel carved arrow flashed away like lightning, and Zhao Ziliang pulled away sixty percent of this arrow, and the strength reached five stones, which was one cup more than the arrow shot before.

It was too fast, too powerful, Dazarugon thought that his reaction speed was fast enough, but it was still a little slower, and the knife in his hand swung out, cutting off the shaft of the arrow, but the half with the arrow still stubbornly penetrated his breastplate, piercing through the back and shooting through the bodies of two Tibetan centurions in succession.

Dazarugon's body froze, and as the two centurions behind him landed on horseback, his body began to shake, and he fell to the side as quickly as possible.

"General!" The few thousands of people behind him were shocked, and several people dismounted and gathered around him.

"General, wake up, you must resist it, our reinforcements are coming soon!"

The corners of Dazarugong's mouth were stained with blood, his face was pale and he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the three thousand commanders, and said to one of the thousand commanders: "Bayan, even if a thousand cavalry is transferred to Xincheng, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the Tang Army, the general of the Tang Army is too powerful, not only the archery is superb, but also the force is extremely superb, these are not terrible, the terrible thing is that he is proficient in the art of war, and has rich experience in commanding the battle, none of you are his opponent, I can't do it, Bayan, now I appoint you as the leading general, The use of the terrain should be able to withstand the attack of the Tang army during the day, and when it is night, the Tang army will definitely stop attacking, then you will collect all the wood in the houses, make a raft on the Datong River behind, let the soldiers and generals escape on the raft, and escape as much as they can, and when they reach the new city, they will retreat with all the soldiers and horses left behind, and withdraw to the south of the Huangshui River, with the troops we left in this generation can not stop the attack of the Tang army at all, and it is the best policy to retreat to the south of the Huangshui River to maintain strength······"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dazarugon spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted again, and the commander called Bayan shouted several times in a row, and after seeing Dazarughan fainting, he immediately ordered loudly: "The sword and shield soldiers stepped forward to resist, the archers came out to hide behind the sword and shield soldiers and suppressed, and the pikemen removed all the door panels in the village and blocked the front ······."

Although Zhao Ziliang saw Dazaru Gong fall from the horse, he did not immediately order the attack, he was waiting for the infantry to arrive, although Qingshiping is not a strong city, but the terrain is higher, it is too much to attack with cavalry, Zhao Ziliang does not want to make a senseless sacrifice, this is not cost-effective.

In fact, at the moment when Dazaru Gong fell off the horse, the battle situation has been decided, the Tubo army lost its main general while suffering heavy losses, and its morale plummeted, and now the reason why the Tubo army is not chaotic is because they are in a desperate situation, behind them is the Datong River, surrounded on three sides, and they can't escape if they want to escape, so they can only hold on to the death in Qingshiping, but this situation will not always change, when the casualties reach a certain level, the Tubo army will collapse, or Zhao Ziliang will send someone to surrender again, and the battle will end.
