After the defeat of the Tibetan cavalry, there was a cheer in the Jiannan army. In the past three days, the transformation of the defenses around the camp has achieved miraculous results. The Tibetan cavalry came in waves, but they hit the rocks and retreated. However, the casualties of the Jiannan army were extremely limited, only more than 4,000 people were killed and wounded, most of them were killed by the arrows of the local cavalry archers in the rear, and a small part were killed and wounded during the battle in front of the battle. In this battle just now, the soldiers at the front were safer than the rear, and most of the Jiannan soldiers shot by the arrows of the Tubo people were soldiers who assisted in the battle in the rear, which can be described as a strange thing.

In the wilderness in front of the camp, the corpses of men and horses were piled up, and the air smelled of blood, and the people were disgusted. But the Tang army only cleaned up the corpses within a few dozen steps in front of the formation, and then they had to prepare for the next battle. Because they have already received the military order, hurry up and rest to recover their strength, drink water and eat dry food, and there will be even more tragic battles ahead.

On the earthen platform in the rear, more than a dozen senior generals gathered around Wang Yuan, and everyone was excited, congratulating Wang Yuan with gossip. Such a successful defense is certainly worth celebrating, and the fact that a fearsome battle has started in this way has undoubtedly given everyone a huge amount of confidence. Even the most pessimistic people have confidence in the victory of this battle at this moment.

Wang Yuan smiled and bowed his hand, accepted everyone's congratulations, and waited for everyone to finish their nonsense, then smiled: "Generals, it's not me who is ruining the scenery, this is not the time to celebrate, the next is the real bloody battle, it is too early to celebrate at this moment." I thought that the Tibetans would take turns attacking the camp, but I didn't expect them to retreat so quickly, which means that they realized that the attack was hopeless, and the next attack must be another way. ”

Ge Shuhan smiled and said: "Take care of him, the soldiers will block, the water will come to Tutun, who is afraid of whom?" This battle is really enjoyable, except for the battle in Stone Castle City, the battle I have experienced is the battle just now. ”

Everyone was speechless, and Ge Shuhan still put the battle of Stone Castle City before this battle, and it seemed that he was unwilling to let go of the stubbornness in his heart, reminding everyone that he had also led the army to a great victory.

"Wang Jiedu envoy, Tanma said that they are moving a large number of siege equipment to the front of the battle, this is to attack the big camp as a city. If they do this, the Giant Spear Formation will be useless, and we will only be beaten passively, which means forcing us to go out of the camp and engage them head-on. How did the envoy of Wang Jiedu arrange this? Li Guangbi asked thoughtfully.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Li Dashuai, what do you think should be done?" ”

Li Guangbi thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is no good way except to withdraw from the barracks." But once I leave the barracks, I will inevitably engage head-on, and I can't do anything for a while. ”

Li Mi smiled and said: "Li Dashuai, my handsome family has his own clever plan, you can just look at it." Take care to hold your chin so that it doesn't fall off. ”

Li Guangbi was surprised: "Could it be that Wang Jiedu has a corresponding strategy?" ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise there would be no need to fight this battle." was thrown on the head by someone's catapult, and our military camp was smashed to pieces. When the time comes, the Tubo people will have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and this will be defeated. General Li is right, just wait and see. Where is Liu Dehai? ”

Liu Dehai hurriedly stepped out and said, "Is everything ready?" Now it's up to you. If you can't do it, we're going to fly to the end. ”

Liu Dehai arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the commander must now set the positioning of the Shenwei cannon according to the distance of the enemy, and you need to wait for a while to get ready." However, the Shenwei cannon has been assembled, and the horses are ready, so just wait for the distance to be calculated, and nail down the stake to fix it. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Okay, there must be no mistakes, you must be careful in the placement and handling of thunderbolts, in short, everything must be careful." ”

"Don't worry, the marshal will personally supervise the preparation." Liu Dehai left in a hurry.

Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi were confused when they heard it, what kind of divine power cannon and what thunderbolt, this is the first time they have heard of these terms.

"What are the Kamui cannons and thunderbolts?" Ge Shuhan couldn't help but ask.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Some of the gadgets unique to my Jiannan Army are used to restrain the enemy army. ”

Song Jiangong also smiled: "Geshu Marshal still remember those behemoths covered with oilcloth in the back camp when I took you to the barracks that day?" At that time, you asked what it was, but I didn't tell you, those are the Shenwei cannons in our Jiannan Army. ”

Ge Shuhan said suspiciously: "Can this thing restrain the opponent?" Is it powerful? ”

Wang Yuan, Song Jiangong, Li Mi and others glanced at each other, and they all laughed.

"Brother Shu, the power will be known in a while, everyone, each go back to the camp to lead the army and prepare. There are still some fights in this battle, so you should be mental, but don't doze off. Wang Yuan shouted in a deep voice.

All the generals surrendered their promises in unison, and they all went down from the earthen platform and returned to their respective defensive positions to prepare for the battle.

Wang Yuan sighed and wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead. Someone brought a chair to Wang Yuan to sit down. And took a glass of water. Wang Yuan drank a cup of hot tea, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Where did the hot tea come from?" ”

The army is fighting fiercely, who has time to boil water and make tea, so Wang Yuan feels strange.

"Marshal, it was Mrs. Aluo who ordered someone to send tea, and Mrs. and Miss Gongsun made some tea in the back tent and ordered each general to send one." Tan Ping replied in a deep voice.

Wang Yuan laughed and said: "I see, they are comfortable, and they have the leisure to boil water and make tea, but it is not bad, which shows that they are confident in our victory." ”

Tan Pinglian claimed that it was.

……

In front of the ancient formation, more than 200 throwing buildings have been put in place. Although the Tubo people throw the building, they can throw a boulder of thirty or forty catties to a distance of 380 to 420 steps, which can be described as a sharp weapon for attacking the city. However, the Tubo people used the throwing tower to a new height, and in the past dozen siege battles, they invented the role of setting the throwing tower in the city wall as a defense against the enemy's siege. Although a little reluctant, this pair is not good at defending the city, and is even better at fighting in the wilderness outside the city. The hard-fought Tubo people with guns can be regarded as making up for some shortcomings.

And now, these big guys have been pulled several miles away from the city, and all of them are arranged in front of the Tang army's formation, and they are about to bombard the Tang army's camp.

In addition, more than 300 trebuchets were also transported to the battlefield. The range of the catapult was much shorter, and it had to be about two hundred and fifty paces. But even then, this is out of range of a large number of long-range bows, and only a handful of bed crossbow strongbows can shoot them, but that's not a cause for concern.

Time passed slowly, and a lot of time was consumed in the installation and positioning and even the transportation of stone bullets, from the third watch to the fifth watch, it took nearly two hours before these behemoths were officially in place and ready to be launched.

Enagu sat on the horse in no hurry, and asked about the progress and the news of the Tang Army from time to time. Finally, when everything was ready, Enagu gave the order to immediately launch an attack on the Tang army camp.

At the sound of an order, two hundred boulders thrown from the building pierced the dawn sky and smashed towards the camp of the Tang army. The rubble thrown by hundreds of catapults also rained down in front of the Tang camp. These boulders fell from the sky with a low sound of wind and thunder, enveloping the distance of nearly a hundred steps in front and behind the Tang army's military camp, and with only one round of attacks, the giant spear array blasted open a gap dozens of steps long.

The boulder fell into the formation of the Tang army, and the big stone could smash people to death in an instant, and the small stone also broke people's tendons and fractures. The soldiers of the Don Army were killed and wounded by this round of attacks, and hundreds of people were wounded.

Looking at the huge stones in the Tang army camp from a distance, the smoke and dust were falling, and the Tang army was scattering and fleeing, and said to the generals around him with a smile: "See? That's what wars call wars. Strike the enemy's short with my strengths. Teach them not to shrink back and face them head-on. Otherwise, we will suffer a catastrophe. That kind of blind rush and fierce attack will not succeed, and now the era of this kind of rushing and fierce attack has long passed, and whoever does not know how to plan will have to accept the fate of failure. ”

The generals thought so, and even Wangmu, who was silent on the sidelines, actually recognized this in his heart. Sure enough, this method can inflict heavy damage on the enemy army and force them to engage head-on, which is much smarter and more effective than charging and slamming it yourself.

"Order the cavalry to get ready, not less than half an hour, the Tang army will not be able to stand up, and then it will be time for us to annihilate them. General Wangmu, can your soldiers and horses fight again? This is your chance to turn the page. The general still decided to follow his promise and let your soldiers and horses serve as the vanguard army, giving you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. "Uh, that's the ancient road.

"Thank you, General, my soldiers and horses are ready to fight to the death with the enemy at any time." Wangmu gritted his teeth.

Enagu smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "General Wangmu, what I admire most is your character of not giving up until you reach your goal. This time you're going to have to take your chance. Don't worry, I will send 30,000 cavalry on each wing to respond, this is the most benevolent and righteous to you, right? ”

"Thank you, General." Wangmu replied with a deep bow.
