The deputy protector of the Anxi Prefecture, Xiu Mingren, led 15,000 elite soldiers, and they also marched hard in the desert, but their situation was slightly better, because they carried a lot of baggage, but it was also dangerous, and when there was still a certain distance from Shule City, the Tubo elite cavalry brigade poured out!

They shot arrows along the dragon-like Tang army, and dozens of Tang soldiers and civilians fell, causing chaos in the Tang army, but not to the point of unbearable. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiu Mingren also had two deputy capital guards, and his troops urgently gathered, put the vehicles together, and then concentrated the bows and crossbows, and shot the enemy!

The establishment of the Tang army has already said that it attaches great importance to bows and arrows, and has time to practice more, and the bow power of the foot bow is stronger than that of the riding bow!

And the Tang army also has crossbows!

When the Tibetans rushed to the camp in close proximity, they were greeted with bows and arrows, as well as crossbow arrows.

The crossbow is a variant of the bow and arrow, and the crossbow has many advantages, such as longer range, high accuracy, etc., but the real outstanding advantage over the bow is the delay in its launch. The crossbowman can wind up the crossbow and aim carefully and slowly, or follow the commander's command to pull the crossbow.

Therefore, for the people, the crossbow is more useful.

However, the bow has three to four times the normal rate of fire (the number of arrows fired per unit of time) than the crossbow. Considering the operation of the crossbow when reloading, it is safe to say quadruple, and triple is already a bit optimistic. What does this mean, it means that in about 12~15 seconds, an average archer can shoot four arrows, and a crossbowman can shoot one.

Crossbow arrows can be used even by the people, long-range shooting with bows, close-range shooting with arrows, the Tubo people do not notice, there are more than a dozen horsemen left in the desert forever.

Don't underestimate the Tang Dynasty people, the people on the front line of the border may be trained more strictly than the nomads who are half-pastoral and half-soldiers, the Central Plains Dynasty fought with foreign peoples, and most of the encounters were cavalry, so long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows are very important and are the focus of learning, as "Seong Lost Horse" wrote: "...... Hu Da entered the plug, and Ding Zhuang led the battle. "This is the Ding Zhuang on the border line, all of whom can draw bows and shoot arrows.

There is no way, the soldiers with hoes shoot arrows better than the Tubo people, this is forced out.

Moreover, the industry of the Tang Dynasty was developed, and the bows, arrows, and crossbows were well-made, so the Tubo people did not do it, and they tried to attack with half-pastoral tribes, and the arrows fell like rain. It's a pity that the bows and crossbows used are all soft, far from being comparable to the strong bows and hard crossbows used in the Tang Army. Bathed in such a rain of arrows, as long as you have heavy armor, you are simply fearless, and even ordinary armor, as long as you don't hit the vital point, you can save your life.

The Tubo people tried many places in a row, but in addition to throwing dozens of corpses, they couldn't take advantage of the Tang army.

And then the brigade cavalry of the Don Army arrived!

The Anxi Protectorate is at the forefront of the anti-Tibetan resistance, the treatment and equipment are equivalent to the central forbidden army, and the training is not bad, and the Tubo tent soldiers dare to fight in the field!

But it was only a squad battle, and there was no large-scale confrontation, and everyone looked at each team of 100 people.

Ride and shoot!

Horse Battle!

First of all, the Tang army was only two more dead than the Tibetans, with sixteen Tang soldiers killed and wounded, and fourteen Tibetans killed and wounded.

The remnants screamed and rushed together fiercely, setting off waves of blood and flesh in an instant, arrows flying everywhere, swords and axes slamming and splashing fire, spears piercing the neck and abdomen, and yellow sand and mud flying in the air.

Fighting with the tent soldiers, the Tang army will not fall behind!

They advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, commanded properly, and in the end, the Tang army of seventeen people chased after the Tubo thirteen people, and the Tubo people fled in disarray!

The reason why the Tubo people won that time was to fight 100,000 with 400,000, first use the recruited half-herding and half-soldiers to continuously consume the combat power of the Tang army, and then put up the account soldiers, so they can win.

After the battle of the hundred-man squad, the Tibetans retreated, and the leader of the group, Zander, had a headache.

That's right, this is Zander's troops, he fought Feng Xiaobao once, but he didn't return to the city, and then summoned more than 2,000 reserve troops, a total of 5,000 people, and his strength has been seriously weakened.

So he lured the enemy with 1,000 and encircled 4,000, and he was no longer so hard.

Knowing that the Tang army is not easy to provoke, the strength of this group of Tang troops is stronger, and they do not seek merit but no fault, the Tubo people lure their cavalry to attack, but the Tang cavalry will not go far, only in the line of sight of the infantry, Leng is a tiger does not come out of the nest.

Once something happens, the infantry catches up, or the cavalry returns to defense, and the infantry and cavalry cooperate, the Tubo people will not be able to please at all.

The Tibetans were like buzzing flies, constantly circling around the Tang troops, stinging and touching from time to time.

However, it was found that the camp of the Tang army consisting of cavalry, infantry bows and Mo sword soldiers was as impregnable as a copper wall, and the main general was experienced and not subject to the tricks of the Tubo people.

The swords of the Mo sword soldiers of the Tang army flashed, which made the Tubo people frightened and stayed away.

Mo Dao Formation, knowing their strength, a fool will fight with them.

In desperation, the Tibetans began to spread rumors, and those who could speak Chinese claimed that the Tang cavalry in the vanguard had been completely wiped out, and behold, this was our capture!

The Tibetans took out a few flags of Feng Xiaobao's troops obtained on the battlefield (which they had collected), as well as forged Tang army marshal flags, as evidence that they had eaten Feng's troops.

The Tang Dynasty has been at war with Tubo for many years, and it is pediatrics to learn that the Tang army has many details, and forging two handsome flags is pediatric.

He also pulled out a "precious" captive, which was indeed snatched from Feng Xiaobao's troops, and let the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Protectorate take a closer look, and then mistreat him.

Beating and cutting the flesh, the Tibetans said triumphantly: "Look, this is the captive of your vanguard team!" ”

I wanted to hit the morale of the Tang army, but unexpectedly, the two soldiers of the Tang army with loud voices shouted: "You show the heads of those people in our vanguard team!" If you win, you will shine your head! ”

"If there's a kind, let that soldier of ours speak!"

The Tubo people were miserably told by the Tang Army's request and were speechless!

That's right, why don't you have any heads to show off after winning the war, do the Tubo people also talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?

I heard the two Tang soldiers say again: "My family has said that the front of our army will definitely defeat your army, if not, we will recognize you as Aya (father), if so, you are our son!" ”

"Do you dare to admit it? Son! My good son! Tang Jun asked three times in a row.

Hearing this, the Tibetan people were speechless, short of breath for three minutes, and weak in response.

And no matter how stupid the Tang army is, he understands that the front army has won!

The morale suddenly swelled to the peak, and the laughter kept rushing towards the Tubo people!

The Tang Army, in turn, mocked them: "Your subordinates are defeated!" ”

They were Feng Xiaobao's defeated subordinates, and they scolded the Tubo people so that they were weak and frightened.

……

The officers and men of the Tang Army acted cautiously, camped in an orderly manner, and the experience of the veteran came in handy, maybe he had no way to attack, but it was difficult for him to lose.

There may be a chance to win the battle, but the price to be paid is unimaginable to the Tibetans.

Against this kind of enemy, the Tubo people are tigers pulling turtles, and there is nowhere to speak, and Zander can only watch the two rounds of the Tang Army go smoothly together!

The Tang army is under the city of Shule! (To be continued.) )
