Chapter 333: Heroic Tears of the Golden Iron Horse (2)

Hundreds of soldiers hurriedly got up, some in armor, others looking for weapons, and were busy.

Gradually, the Tubo people arrived, and the black and oppressive brigade of men and horses could not see the end at a glance. Not only that, but in the distance, there were war horses that continued to run like thunder.

Su Hegui narrowed his eyes and looked at the Tang Army on the hillside. Some didn't even have time to put on their armor, so they took up their weapons and stood on the top of the slope to prepare for defense. He looked at it carefully, just as Linghu Zhitong thought, one was prepared to fight, the other was unprepared, and there were different results.

Being prepared means that you know in advance that they are coming. I am not afraid of this, what I am afraid of is that since I know that they are coming in advance, someone will definitely go back to report it, and Shancheng is on guard. Therefore, I also discussed with Ronzanpo that if you are prepared for battle, you should withdraw. can't fight, capture Shancheng, the nature is different, and the Tang army will be cut off at once. If Shancheng cannot be captured, then these 15,000 soldiers will become a lone army. There is a high probability that the whole army will be annihilated.

Looking at the terrain, it should be said that the Tang army on the opposite side is the elite soldiers of the Tang people, and they woke up in such a hurry, but they moved very quickly, and they even occupied their respective positions without the orders of the main general, and some soldiers moved their defensive weapons over by themselves.

But the Tang Dynasty was crazy about money, and it was about to start, but the city of Fan was still not closed. The city of Fan is not closed, and the trade road must be moved, so the camp is set up on the side. If it is rooted in the middle of the road, it will take a lot of effort to attack. He shouted, "Ah Shu Shitai, you lead a thousand soldiers to rush forward." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Ashu Shitai led a thousand iron horsemen and rushed over.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty soldiers on the Huling slope were still very afraid, and the enemy came too much. Especially in the moonlight, it looks even more terrifying. Linghu Zhitong said: "What are you afraid of, the general has already ordered someone to go back to move the rescue soldiers." There are countless iron horsemen in Shancheng City, and they will arrive in a while. ”

Saying it doesn't have much effect, but it's better than not saying it. These five hundred soldiers were also carefully selected, and many of them were veterans who had silently taken up arms. There were no swords, but the camp was equipped with a large amount of gunpowder, various bows and crossbows, and ten small trebuchets that were easy to operate. The projectile distance is not far, and the projectile must not be too heavy. But there is a condescending momentum, enough to throw lit gunpowder bags one by one under the mountains.

Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Ling Hu Zhitong shouted: "Release!" ”

Ten gunpowder packets were ignited and ejected, and this time the gunpowder packs were improved again, with some iron beads, tribulus terrestris, and iron nails. Don't look small, in this era, there is no suitable mold, and the cost is equally expensive. It wasn't Li Wei who came up with it, it was the craftsman who saw the power of the gunpowder explosion and had a whim. So the gunpowder pack was improved, and it has just been put on the battlefield, and it has not yet shown its power. When Li Wei found out, he was very ashamed. But I thought of one thing, chili powder, if you put chili powder in the ** bag, once it explodes, what effect will it have. Peppers have no hands, but there are some spicy plants instead, so the third generation of gunpowder was produced. However, the effect is not great, and the high temperature generated during the explosion can quickly evaporate the spicy taste.

Ten gunpowder packets fell to the ground and exploded rapidly, and for a time the people on the mountain road rolled over, and many people were thrown into the air by the power of the explosion, and let out a miserable cry, and fell to the ground. But the lethality is always limited, and the wisdom of Qinling is extraordinary. After seeing this situation, he immediately ordered all the war horses to wear an earplug, so the war horses would panic, but not too flustered. Then he bought a large number of firecrackers and sent people to crack them.

But after this firecracker has been "improved" by Li Wei's faction, it has become a "safety firecracker", which is more noisy than burning bamboo, but is that powerful...... And then there's the recipe inside, which is even more messy. and all of them are in powdered form, and the Qinling Tomb is to call the entire Tibetan craftsmen to study for fifty years and one hundred years, and they may not be able to get the real formula. This concept of secrecy still exists, and like the Mo knife, longbow, and crossbow, these instruments have always been kept secret in the Tang Dynasty. As a result, many of the techniques were lost.

Ten ** bags were thrown, killing dozens of Tibetan soldiers, and overturning some war horses, causing chaos to the Tubo people, and then rushed up again. Linghu Zhichong said: "Put! ”

Another ten ** packs were projected, but Linghu Zhitong said: "The crossbowmen are ready." ”

This is the second step of defense.

There are long bows, horn bows, and slight bows. The horn bow was powerful, long-range, and expensive, and many soldiers used ordinary light bows. Then there is a kind of bow and arrow that extends from the horn bow, the longbow. It is not the English longbow of later generations, it is very long, including the tip of the bow, and can be as long as one and a half meters. The range of this bow may not have been as long as that of the later English longbows, but it was also very long. There are also many flaws, which require soldiers to have strong arm strength. In addition, the cost is more expensive.

In addition to these three types of bows, there is also a checkered bow, if the slightly bow is an ordinary hunting bow, then the checkered bow can only be a decorative bow. When Li Xian was a teenager, the bow that Li Wei gave him was a checkered bow.

In addition, there are many types of crossbows, such as crossbows, horn bow crossbows, wooden single crossbows, large wooden single crossbows, bamboo pole crossbows, large bamboo pole crossbows, Fuyuan crossbows, there are individual crossbow machines, large crossbow machines. Among them, the individual crossbow machine is the most powerful, which can reach 230 steps, followed by the horn bow crossbow machine, which can reach 200 steps. It is also necessary for the soldier to have strong arm strength. The Fuyuan crossbow requires several people to pull it out, and the sound is like thunder when it is fired, but it is not conducive to field combat, and it is okay to defend or siege the city. Similarly, Fu Yuan crossbow, this time Linghu Zhichong did not bring it, but brought a large number of Zhang crossbows and horned bow crossbows.

Hundreds of arrows galloped down, in fact, in terms of lethality, the lethality of the arrow crossbow in the field is no less than this tactic of dropping ** bags. If you don't see it, you can understand why the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are so developed, and they are still trapped in the Manchu Dynasty, and even the hoes and shovels of the peasant rebel army. It can only be said that something is better than nothing, and there is also that everyone is not familiar with it and has not used it properly.

Thirty ** bags were put in, plus several batches of arrows, and half of the 1,000 people who rushed up fell.

Su Hegui was happy if he was not angry, and thought to himself, it seems that this Tang prince is not a real nerd, although there are few soldiers stationed in the Tang Dynasty, they are all elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. He shouted again, "Helian City, bring another thousand soldiers." ”

"The last general obeys," Helian Cheng rushed forward again with a thousand soldiers as the second echelon. This Helian Cheng is a famous brave general in the hands of Su Hegui, but he was born in the Huns, which also hindered his career in Tuyuhun.

Linghu Zhitong shouted: "Carry the stone." ”

This was prepared in advance, and dozens of boulders were erected on the side of the avenue, each weighing a thousand catties. One by one, a hundred soldiers moved the stones and pushed them down the mountain. The huge stone led the soldiers of the Tugu Army on the mountain road to roll over the horses.

"It's hard to bite," Su Hegui said to himself.

The price paid for the strong attack was inevitably great, and he shouted: "Withdraw." ”

The trumpet sounded, and the army withdrew. Su Hegui looked at the terrain on both sides and said, "Helian City, Ah Shu Shitai, you lead the rest of your troops to dismount and rush up from the foot of the mountains on both sides. ”

"Yes."

The remaining thousand or so soldiers, divided into two teams, dismounted from their horses, and climbed the peaks on both sides. Therefore, there is a disadvantage of not camping in the avenue, and it is impossible to form an effective defense. In fact, at this time, Linghu Zhitong could still order a retreat, at least to save the lives of most of the soldiers, but he gritted his teeth and said: "Chun Yudi, you lead a team to see the south slope, Zhang Demu, you lead a team to guard the north slope." The others, who will guard the way of the Lord. ”

Su Hegui stood at the bottom of the hill and watched, and when he saw the soldiers on both sides gradually climbing up, he said, "Then Lou Kunyan, you will lead a thousand men and horses to rush to the top of the slope." Remember, this time the team formation should be spread out to reduce the damage of the opponent. ”

"Yes!"

Chun Yudi and Zhang Demu were already engaged in close combat with the Tuyuhun army that climbed up on both sides, but Ling Hu Chong was still indifferent. The Tuyuhun people gradually approached the top of the slope from the main road, and screams were heard from both sides from time to time, including Tuyuhun people and their own men.

His eyes were fixed on the ramp, and this time the combined formation of the Tubo and Tuyuhun people was very scattered. I thought to myself, this Su Hegui is really a battle-hardened veteran. If you come up from the slopes on both sides of the mountain with the help of the dense forest, you can avoid the gunpowder and the bow and arrows. But in the end, it was lost to the geographical advantage, one was condescending, the other rushed up from the difficult hillside, the situation was still different, this time to use the advantage of cavalry and the avenue, using speed and both sides of the side. It should be said that it is the best way for the Tuyuhun people to attack now.

In fact, Su Hegui is afraid that there will be many dreams at night, otherwise there are several ways to take the big camp of Huling, and there will be fewer sacrifices. But time is in a hurry, so I have to do this.

The cavalry on the ramp was getting closer and closer, and the horses shook so much that the ground was faintly shaking, so that Hu Chong shouted: "Throw, put the two medicine bags together and throw them." ”

There is no need to think about the range, you must throw all the medicine bags away when you leave, otherwise it will become a sharp weapon for the Tuyuhun people to hurt their comrades. Another explosion sounded, raising clouds of dust and mist. Ling Hu Chong shouted again: "Push the stone." ”

The huge stone rolled down again. But this time there is a lot of loss, there are not many boulders on the top of the slope, and there are gradually only twenty or thirty bags left. While fighting fiercely, Chun Yudi turned his head to look at it, and shouted loudly: "General Linghu, withdraw." ”

It's all on this one, it's the prince's carelessness, it's not that they don't do their best, there are too few people. And for the sake of the trade route, it is not allowed to build a camp in the middle of the avenue, how to defend it?

But that's it, Linghu Zhichong didn't dare to tell the truth, and said: "Let's go!" ”

The mountain road was filled with dust and mist, exuding a thick smell of gunsmoke, and it was impossible to see the enemy clearly, only to hear the sound of coughing from time to time in the dust and fog, to judge that the enemy was still stubbornly attacking.

Linghu Zhitong said: "Withdraw." ”

Fighting to this point, it is not a fake drama and real singing, but a real drama and real singing, and it is time to evacuate.

When Helian Cheng heard his order, he was so angry that he shouted, he had sacrificed many soldiers just now, and most of these soldiers were his clansmen. shouted loudly: "The Tang people are going to run away, block them." ”

After hearing Helian Cheng's shout, the Tuyuhun people immediately became demoralized, screamed wow, and rushed up desperately.

Chun Yudi saw that the form was not good, and said: "General Linghu, you lead people to withdraw, and your subordinates will resist for you." ”

There was no way, Tuyuhun's cavalry had already rushed to the top of the slope, and the men on both sides also let the Tuyuhun soldiers be entangled with their lives. Linghu Zhitong said with tears in his eyes: "Withdraw, retreat to Huling." ”

The mountain road they are in is not Tiger Ridge, it is an unnamed peak, the real Tiger Ridge is the nameless peak turned down, and the mountain peaks behind are also not very high, but after crossing the Tiger Ridge, there are lofty mountains and mountains. As he spoke, he carried a horizontal knife and wiped it out with one sword, hacked to death a Tuyuhun man who rushed up from the north of the slope, and rushed to the top of the slope with his men.

Suddenly, I heard Chun Yudi shouting: "Mother's, Lao Tzu fought with you." ”

I can't see it, and I can't stop to look at it, and when I hear this, I know that Chun Yu is more than lucky. Linghu Zhitong killed another enemy, and blood burst out of his face, but he thought of the conversation with Chun Yudi just now in his mind. The requirements are really not high, I just want to get a fief in Qinghai, so that I can bring my wife and children and reunite the family. Thinking of what he had done to protect himself before, tears rolled down his face, and he suddenly howled loudly, saying, "Chun Yudi, I will let a thousand Tuyuhun people bury you with you!" ”

Mournful voices wafted through the mountains.

But he didn't hear Chun Yudi's answer, so Linghu Zhitong yelled again: "Kill." ”

Killed a Tuyuhun again, not many people escaped safely, some panicked, as Linghu Zhitong expected, fled to the main road, wanted to flee to the direction of Shancheng, this time Tuyuhun are cavalry, the result can be imagined.

But the remaining 100 soldiers, following behind Linghu Zhitong, were in a very sad and angry mood, one by one like a tiger descending the mountain, they were already descending the mountain, borrowing some speed and momentum from going down the mountain, Tuyuhun finally retreated, and did not dare to stop it. After a while, he rushed down the valley, climbed up the Tiger Ridge again, and disappeared into the vast night.
