Section 127 The Great Grinding Disc of the Bow and Arrow
The news of the murder of Baliza (the uncle of Gar Zannedob) reached the Dafeichuan Stone Fort at noon the next day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that the news is messy, some say that it was killed by the Tang Army, and others refute that it is not at all, and they have never seen the banner of the Tang Army unfurled.
The stone fort is a large fortress, built against the mountain, its buildings are all flat-roofed, according to the terrain into a stepped shape, mainly responsible for supporting the main force of Tubo in the direction of Shanzhou, and sending military resources continuously.
The lord of the stone castle, Bulgain, was white-skinned, thin-skinned, and brutal, and his men were often punished, whipping his subordinates was common, and the execution of slaves was common.
Hearing about the matter of Baliza, he was a relative of the great minister, and Buljain did not dare to slack off, and he did not care who the other party was, so he sent Shaheba to lead three hundred elite horsemen to go.
Baalza's nest was in ruins, and 3,000 men could not defeat others, but Burgain thought that his own 300 men were enough
It doesn't matter what he thinks, the problem is that Shaheba is also underestimated by the enemy, he is stout and short, strong, good at riding and shooting, and he once participated in the battle against the Tang army last year, claiming that the total defeat of the Tang army did not have his share of credit.
After receiving the order, Shahiba hurriedly set out with three hundred horsemen in the afternoon of the same day.
Bul Gayin led 500 tent soldiers and cavalry to march slowly, and then sent four heralds, holding his golden arrows (used by the Tibetan nobles to transfer troops) to various tribes to recruit troops.
The Tubo people are all soldiers, and it is the best policy to use the warriors of all tribes and let them be cannon fodder.
……
Shahiba rode two horses, alternating back and forth, and traveled quite fast.
They first arrived at the camp where the accident occurred, and then moved forward to engage the Tang army scouts on the morning of the third day after the army was raised!
The five Tang cavalry saw ten Tibetan cavalry chasing after them, and they rushed forward to shoot a round of feather arrows, then turned around and ran away!
As a result, three Tibetan cavalrymen fell to the ground, one dead and two wounded, and the counterattack of the Tubo people did not hit a single Tang army
"Son, you can run away pretty fast!"
The arrow branch was pulled out and forwarded to Sha Xiba, and after he saw it, he said that it was Tang Jun!
"Let's go, wipe out all the Tang Army!" Shahiba said excitedly.
The subordinates responded violently, and the horses' hooves shook the ground, like a turbid current rushing straight to the Tang Army's own team.
After crossing a hill, I saw thousands of people and horses of the Tang Army Brigade, many of them.
Further on, there are thousands!
Looking far away, there are still thousands!
"Well, the more people, the faster you kill!" Shahiba was not afraid of the ratio of one to ten and ordered the charge.
He didn't go crazy with his head, and the order given to every cavalryman was to fight if he could beat it, and run away if he couldn't beat it!
If the Tang army is not easy to provoke, the second set of plans will be implemented: pester the Tang army, wait for the rear team to come up, and then gather and annihilate it.
The Tibetan cavalry first trotted from three miles away, and when they reached the vicinity of the Tang army, they blew their horns and shouted repeatedly, urging their horses to charge the Tang army in a large group!
The earth trembled, and the green earth retreated rapidly, and it was said that this place was really fertile, and the grass was dense, and thousands of horses' hooves stepped on it without dust, and there was no such grandeur as the dust carried.
The Don Army retreated!
Thousands of people and horses panicked and fled all the way, everyone was whipping their horses, desperately trying to escape!
Now both sides were in sight, and Shaheba looked at them and knew why they were fleeing: no armor, weak bows, poor knives, and bad horses!
In contrast, the Tubo people even have all the men and horses and cavalry armor on their bodies, most of them are still in iron armor, and the horses are also armor-wearing, only revealing a pair of eyes of each person and horse!
Once upon a time, the Tang army bullied the nomads with its sophisticated weapons and armor, but now it is so down.
It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi!
……
The Tubo people chased and killed, and the Tang army fell from their horses, and immediately trampled the Tubo people who caught up into pulp!
The Tubo people were even more excited, and before they knew it, they chased and killed the rear army of the Tang army and ran through three miles, revealing the middle army of the Tang army on the side.
"Whoosh!"
Three cloud-piercing arrows let out a strange roar and flew into the sky.
This was the signal to charge, and the Tang Army's Central Army Brigade drove out and flanked the Tibetans.
Shahiba has a lot of experience, and as soon as he saw this batch of Tang troops, he knew that the army was going to be bad.
The equipment of the Tang army in the attack was very different from the previous Tang army, and it was almost the same as the Tubo people, and they were Hexi horses!
Shahiba horses grew up on their backs, and at first glance they were Hexi horses, because they were taller than Tibetan horses, had longer legs, and were more beautiful in his words for horses.
Compared with the Tubo horse, the Hexi horse is fast in short-distance sprints, and the long-distance horse is not as good as the Tubo horse, and the Hexi horse must have a supplement of concentrate feed (feeding soybean meal and the like), if there is no fat, it will lose fat, not as easy to raise as the Tubo horse.
The Tang Army Brigade rushed out, and there were at least six hundred horsemen!
Escape?
In the current situation, the Tubo people have lost their horsepower and cannot escape the Hexi horses who are waiting for work.
Then you can only fight!
"Turn, turn!" Shahiba shouted loudly, and the military flag beside him was raised according to the order, waving in the wind.
The Tubo tent soldiers deserved to be a first-class strong army, closely followed the military flag, completed the turn in a very short time, and met the Tang army.
The two sides approached quickly, and it was only natural that bows and arrows were the first weapons to be used in cavalry warfare.
Almost at the same time, everyone raised their bows and arrows.
No, there are also people who "sneak away", Feng Xiaobao, Tang Tian and Uncle Borza, who rushed to the front, released the arrows first!
Three arrows flew out, and the three Tibetan people who rushed forward fell off their horses.
At this time, a bowstring sounded, and everyone released their arrows in unison.
The Tang army did not have any advantage in bows and arrows, because they were facing the elite troops of Tibet, and their bows and arrows were even better than those of the Tang army.
The arrows staggered through the air, and then fell with a sharp sound of wind, flashing light and shadow, first black light, then blood light.
"Puff puff puff ......" In the terrifying sound of entering the flesh, people kept shouting to fall off the horse, and the war horse rolled to the ground with a wail, and the sound was muffled.
The Tang army's front team turned, did not engage the Tubo in close combat, and fired bows and arrows all the way with a horizontal bar similar to a T-shape.
This is nothing, as long as the Tubo people chase and kill them, the Tang army will shoot back to kill and injure the Tubo people at most.
And the Tubo people rushed forward, and there was a forward kinetic energy to accelerate, which was better than the return horse arrow.
The problem is that the Tang Army also has another team of 300 people, which also followed and made another side attack!
In a hurry, the Tibetans did not have time to turn and divide their troops for the second time, and they firmly welcomed the baptism of a wave of arrows.
The two Tang armies maintained a formation, galloped and spun on the grassland, shooting and killing the Tubo people all the way, and sometimes they ran straight into the way when they encountered scattered Tubo people blocking the way, and the horses collided together, and the people turned on their backs and did not care at all.
"Bow and arrow grinding plate!"
Feng Xiaobao's army did not have a long battle formation, the only strength is the bow and arrow, and he has also tried his hand on the saber, it is okay to fight the tribe of half-herding and half-soldier, but it is necessary to fight with the elite Tubo tent soldiers, save it.
I can't guarantee that people will slash one by one, and it is not a problem to stomp off Tang Jun.
Therefore, they are just archery, desperate archery, whether the enemy wants to PK with us, or better than archery, I will eat all over the world.
It's good to rely on the horse, it's purely that there are more people and fewer people, 600 people fight 300 people, we are so shameless!
