Chapter 306: Madness
Gao Huan's troops in front were already ready, and the trebuchet was arranged on the east bank of the Jinsha River, and the dragon boats rushed over quickly, and soon, thousands of sampans followed and rushed over, because the dragon boats were so noisy just now, and many ships gathered together.
"Got into range, fire the bomb!"
Gao Huan stood on a high platform in the camp and waved the Ling Flag, and everyone saw that the Ling Flag immediately moved, and more than a hundred stone bombs were bounced into the air and flew towards the fleet.
"Boom, boom!"
Gao Huan had already calculated the time, and after the stone bomb flew out, it exploded three or four feet away from the water before it fell into the water, and the debris was splashed, and the Tibetan soldiers below were beaten to the head and bleeding, and the heads of the people who were close were shattered, and there were three or four hundred casualties on the spot.
"Call me!"
The trebuchet is constantly launched, this small sampan is very small, there is no cabin on it, the soldiers can only sit in it to rest, these are good, the unobstructed soldiers have completely become targets, some people react faster, and they jumped into the water to avoid the splashing rubble, but they forgot that at this time the fleet was moving rapidly, and the ships going down the river were not easy to stop, and many soldiers floating on the surface of the water made the speeding fleet seriously injured.
Even if the ships that had passed the trebuchet's range crashed directly into the wooden wedges below, the sharp tips of the wedges easily rowed the wooden boats away, and the soldiers inside fell overboard again.
"Quick, get ashore, all on the West Bank!"
The commander had no ability to lead his troops, and he was already frightened by this horrific unknown weapon, and he ordered the fleet to come to the west coast, because there seemed to be no one there, and as long as he got ashore, he could escape the attack of this terrifying weapon.
Where can Gao Huan give them a chance, the west shore has long been transformed into a steep shore wall by him, and if you want to get ashore, you have to jump on the seven or eight feet high shore wall, which is not as gentle as the east bank, and you can go ashore directly.
As a result, 30,000 soldiers rushed to the west bank in confusion, and then they all climbed upward, and at this moment more than 2,000 soldiers armed with crossbows jumped up from the ground and suddenly appeared in front of them, and without saying a word, they began to shoot wildly at them.
The banks of the river three or four miles long are full of Tibetan soldiers, nearly 30,000 people, dense and dense, there is no need to aim at all, and one arrow can shoot a person at will, even if someone can jump over the bank wall and jump in front of them, what awaits them is a soldier wearing iron armor and holding an iron broadsword, and even if the other party attacks, he will not be able to break through the defense of this iron armor.
At this time, the dragon ship once again rushed into the enemy's fleet, crushing and ramming at will.
"Bang bang bang!"
The musketeers also rushed up at this moment, and fired a volley at those soldiers who wanted to escape, shooting the opponent on the spot from a distance of dozens of feet.
This is simply a massacre, a massacre without suspense.
"Give it all to me!"
Gao Huan saw that the overall situation had been decided, and with an order, the soldiers who controlled the trebuchet all picked up their crossbows and guns and rushed forward desperately, not to kill the enemy, but to accumulate their own merits.
The sound on both sides of the Jinsha River shook for nine days, but it was only the shouting and killing of the Tianshui soldiers, and the sound of the Tibetan army screaming and howling.
A great victory without suspense lasted just over two hours, and after two hours, the voice gradually became quieter, and Gao Huan's troops had already begun to clean up the battlefield.
"Tell the general, the enemy has been annihilated, only more than 1,000 people have fled, we have sent people to pursue, and the rest of the people have suffered more than half of the casualties, and we have wounded more than 500 people, and only 135 people have been killed."
The casualties were only 700 people to wipe out the opponent's 30,000 army, this result can only be said to be a miracle, but in Gao Huan's opinion, there is not much pride, and the difference in equipment is too great.
"Clean up the battlefield immediately, leave three thousand men to deal with the captives, and the rest bring the trebuchets and follow me to meet Gesar."
It's no longer a matter of concern here.
Someone immediately dismantled the trebuchet and put it on top of the chariot, Gao Huan jumped on the war horse and led the crowd to rush towards Gesar's release.
At this moment, Gesar also met with the main force of Shile Chang Yuchun, Gesar gave an order, 10,000 cavalry immediately charged, and the infantry behind also ran wildly with swords and guns, they wanted to make war achievements and become nobles.
As a result, they were greeted by stone bombs falling from the sky, which blew them up and could not find the north, and even the cavalry formation was scattered.
If you rush and kill, even if your arms are cut off, the Tibetan soldiers will not flinch, but this kind of flying and exploding weapons are too scary, the people of Tibet believe in gods, and these people are flying all over the sky with flesh and blood, this situation is like a scene of hell, and most of their momentum was knocked out at once, and even Gesar was frightened and panicked.
Fortunately, Gesar had seen the world and immediately judged that this must be some kind of powerful weapon of the opponent, as long as he could rush into the opponent's position and get close to the enemy, he would dodge the attack of this weapon.
"Don't be afraid, rush forward!"
The flag kept shaking, ordering everyone to rush forward desperately.
Soon, the cavalry in front rushed through the long-range strike of the trebuchet with nearly a thousand casualties, and then they were faced with hundreds of musketeers at close range!
"Bang bang bang!"
The musket volley, and in just a few blows, more than 2,000 cavalry fell to the ground, and this time the cavalry team had already suffered more than half of the casualties.
"Okay, it's my turn, Gesar, you devil, I, Songtsen Gampo, am going to slash you today!"
The commander of the vanguard was Songtsen Gampo, who was dressed in iron armor and held an iron broadsword in his hand, and led the 5,000 cavalry who were also equipped behind him to rush towards the other side.
"Boom!"
The five thousand cavalry collided with the opponent at the maximum speed, and at this time, Gesar's cavalry had already been beaten and dizzy, and many people were directly knocked out before they could react.
Songtsen Gampo slashed frantically with a broadsword in his hand, and the sharp blade easily cut the enemy's body, and more than a dozen people died under his knife in one charge.
"Kill! Don't let Gesar escape! ”
50,000 Tianshui soldiers fought with 70,000 soldiers on the other side.
"Bang bang bang! Boom Boom! ”
At close range, the musket formation of the other party formed a phalanx and advanced steadily, no one could kill this opponent within thirty zhang of the front, even if they rushed in, even if they rushed in, these people were not afraid.
However, the most lethal is the repeater, after all, there is one in 20,000 of these 50,000 people, and they are in groups of 10 and 20 people, cooperating with each other to continue to advance, and the enemy is like leeks being harvested frantically.
As for Shile's cavalry, now all of them have become heavy cavalry, even with men and horses and heavy armor, especially the three thousand cavalry led by him personally, all of them are iron armor produced by the system, and Fu Jian's iron armor army, these people don't need to defend at all, they only need to attack, and no one can stop them.
The trebuchet team also followed, firing stone bombs incessantly, and the bombs landed steadily in the middle of the enemy's army, so that it was impossible to organize an effective charge formation to cut off the opponent's formation.
Or that sentence, the equipment of the two sides is too far apart, whether it is a close battle or a long-range attack, not to mention Gesar's group of Tibetan soldiers who are not strong, what can Daqin's iron cavalry do? Isn't it still being abused by Liu Yuetian?
