Chapter 413: The Great War (continued)
On the Gobi Desert, a few miles away from the Tibetan camp, Wang Yuan, Li Mi, Liu Dehai and others stood on horseback, with more than 10,000 Jiannan infantry behind them. Looking at the chaotic situation in the enemy camp where the smoke and dust were billowing from the sky, Wang Yuan's expression was calm and calm.
"Report! Nanzhao's soldiers and horses broke through the eastern camp of Tubo, and the two sides were fighting. ”
"Report! The front and rear battalions of Tubo reinforced the eastern battalion. ”
"Report! The soldiers and horses of Nanzhao were besieged by the Tubo army, and the situation was unknown! ”
"Report! ……”
Tanma reported the battle situation in front to everyone like flowing water, and Wang Yuan nodded every time and said: "I know, I will report again." ”
"Report! The little general, Liu Jun, asked for an immediate attack. "The cavalry sent by Liu Jun to ask for battle has finally arrived.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "This kid can't hold his breath, go back and tell you General Liu, you have to calm down, the time has not come." ”
The cavalry went back to give the order, and Liu Dehai said on the side: "Deputy marshal, don't you attack yet?" Taking advantage of the intractable inextricability of their killing, it was our opportunity to attack. ”
Wang Yuan sneered: "Chongdao is not dead, and the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao have not been annihilated, what are we doing with our troops?" Nanzhao soldiers and horses should also take out any skills. There shouldn't be only such a means to worship the Dao. ”
Li Mi said with a smile: "The deputy marshal is trying to force out Chongdao's housekeeping skills." ”
Wang Yuan said: "I'm thinking about the future, I heard that the Nanzhao barbarian soldiers' tactics are weird, and they are good at making evil methods, if you don't see their methods clearly at the moment, how can you deal with Ge Luofeng in the future?" ”
Li Mi nodded and said, "It turns out that the deputy marshal has already thought about the things that follow." ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "Take one step and look at two steps, I have to be like this." Besides, if Chongdao did not resort to the last resort, he would not be able to inflict a large number of casualties on the Tubo army. In that case, we may not be able to win the war. Don't forget, we only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but they are more than twice as many as us. ”
……
In the eastern camp of Tubo, less than 5,000 soldiers and horses of the 7,000 soldiers and horses of the Tubo army were left, and after the soldiers and horses of the front and rear battalions of the Tubo army outflanked and besieged the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao, the situation of the battle took a sharp turn. The number of Tibetan cavalry is also quite large, although their war horses are not many, but they have the unique camel cavalry of Tibet. It is a kind of long-haired camel unique to the plateau, running fast, not afraid of ups and downs, although the speed is slower than the war horse, but the impact is no less than the war horse cavalry. At this moment, thousands of camel cavalry and hundreds of horsemen and horsemen launched a ruthless charge and trampling on the Nanzhao soldiers and horses, under the strong resistance of archers and blowers, although hundreds of horsemen died on the way, but the other seven or eight hundred cavalry still rushed into the Nanzhao soldiers and horses formation. The snow-bright scimitar rose and fell, stirring up the formation of Nanzhao's soldiers and horses.
The Tubo infantry on the periphery took the opportunity to attack from all sides, and in an instant, the Nanzhao barbarians fell by more than a thousand. Of the 7,000 soldiers and horses, only more than 3,000 remained.
He scolded endlessly in barbarian language, and his eyes were blood-red. His lips turned purple. He understood that Wang Yuan had fallen for it, and the cavalry of the Tang Army was watching the excitement from miles away, and it was clear that he was waiting for himself to be killed by the Tubo people. He hated Wang Yuan in his heart, but at this moment he had to find a way to survive. As long as he is alive, he can settle accounts with Wang Yuan, he has the Gu poison he has planted, and all his losses must be made up for by him, otherwise he will let him survive and not die.
"Prepare for a miasma attack." Fu Chongdao finally showed the ability to take care of the house. The poisonous miasma attack is the killer weapon of the Nanzhao soldiers, and it is the most effective against foreign enemies, but it is also expensive.
The Nanzhao barbarians who live deep in the mountains and forests are accustomed to the poisonous miasma in the forest, which is divided into many kinds, but they all have the common characteristic of causing great harm to people. The Nanzhao barbarians live in this mountain and wilderness filled with poisonous insects and miasma, and they have long had a way to prevent poisonous miasma, and they have found a way to remove the poisonous miasma. Once they are not harmed by the miasma, the miasma becomes a unique weapon for them.
After Chongdao finally gave the order for the poisonous miasma to attack, all the barbarians immediately took out the small paper bag from their arms, poured the medicinal powder inside into their mouths and swallowed it with saliva. Then they took out small sturdy leather bags from their waists and placed them on the ground, and cut them with the steel knives in their hands. Suddenly, smoke of various colors such as red, yellow, white, green, purple, and black came out of the skin, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.
All kinds of smoke mixed together, turning the air above the battlefield into a large dye vat, as chaotic and unspeakably strange. The Tibetan soldiers and horses in the smoke arrived in an instant, their eyes began to burn, their mouths and noses began to be unable to breathe, and their whole bodies fell into a state of numbness, but the internal organs of the five organs were as painful as poisonous insects. This is the terrifying poisonous miasma attack of the Nanzhao soldiers and horses.
Under normal circumstances, they do not attack with a miasma, because the cost is too great. First, it is very difficult to collect the miasma, and it is necessary to go deep into the forest to collect the powder floating in it, and finally there will be miasma powder. A small pinch of miasma powder can emit a large area of miasma, but collecting it is dangerous and time-consuming. Usually the people who do this kind of thing are captured captives and old and weak people.
In addition, sometimes a miasma attack can injure oneself, and the solution is a drug that can be taken beforehand to protect oneself from death. But this medicine is born between the cliffs of the Great Snow Mountains, and it takes a lot of manpower every year to dig up these drugs and grind them into powder. And the number of people who fell off the cliff and died and injured is innumerable. Therefore, although the miasma attack is powerful, it is not something that can be launched at will from time to time. Especially between the various tribes of Nanzhao, this kind of attack sometimes not only fails to hurt the opponent, but often loses its deterrent power after it is used, and becomes the target of public criticism.
The reason why Chongdao did not use the poisonous miasma attack for a long time is not only because of the huge cost, but also because this poisonous miasma attack is extremely effective in the mountains and forests, because the effect of air stagnation is long-lasting, but the wind above the Gobi wilderness is not small, and it is not cost-effective to use it to attack. Therefore, if it weren't for the fact that his life was in danger, he would never use the poisonous miasma.
Sure enough, although the wind was not strong in the morning, the miasma soon dissipated, and was blown south by the wind and gradually became weaker. Even so, in this short period of time, thousands of Tibetan soldiers and horses shrouded in the poisonous miasma still suffered heavy losses, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and their bodies were stiff, like ghosts.
The Tang army was shocked when they witnessed the entire process of the poisonous miasma attack. At this moment, fortunately, the wind is blowing to the southwest, if it is a south wind, it will not affect the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses. With such a vicious and powerful attack method, it is no wonder that the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao have no fear. Fortunately, this poisonous miasma has limitations, at least it has limited effect in the open area, otherwise the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao are afraid that no one in the world can defeat them.
"Summoned Liu Jun and prepared to attack. Chongdao's last resort was useful, and he was afraid that he would take the opportunity to escape, let Liu Jun charge, block his retreat, and force him to continue to fight with the Tubo soldiers. Wang Yuan ordered in a deep voice. The herald rode away, and soon after, Liu Jun's cavalry brigade began to move slowly, and the charge began.
As Wang Yuan had predicted, taking advantage of the momentary opportunity created by the poisonous miasma, Chongdao eagerly ordered the evacuation of the battlefield. Like an octopus sprayed with ink, the poisonous miasma is his last means of getting out. However, after escaping hundreds of paces, Chongdao found that the Tang cavalry was charging head-on in the direction of his retreat. He scolded angrily and had to turn around and head south. There were Tubo infantry, but Fu Chongdao knew that even if he encountered the Tubo infantry at this moment, it would be better than being trampled by the 4,000 Tang cavalry.
Thousands of soldiers and horses lost their combat effectiveness in an instant after the Tibetan army was attacked by the poisonous miasma, and when they found that the cavalry of the Tang army was charging forward, Yixiang Yele and Iron Blade Xinoro understood everything, everyone was tricked by the Tang army, to be exact, it was played by Wang Yuan.
At this point, there is no other way but to fight with all your might. Although the soldiers and horses of the Nanzhao inexplicably attacked and lost nearly thirty percent of the soldiers and horses, there were still nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in hand, and there was still the capital of the First World War.
"Cut off Wang Yuan's head for me, I will put his head on the tower of the city of Wangzhou for three days and three nights, and then crush his bones and scatter ashes. Otherwise, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart. Yi Xiang Ye Le roared angrily.
Iron Blade Sinoro said: "Now the prime minister won't say that he is stupid, who is the most stupid, everyone knows it." ”
Yi Xiangye rolled his eyes happily, but at this moment, all he could rely on was the iron-bladed Sinolo, and he could only pretend not to hear.
Liu Jun took the lead, and dozens of healthy horses around him were all big black slaves from the Kunlun camp with big shoulders and round waists. Behind him, thousands of iron horsemen rumbled over, like a huge torrent, rushing into the Tibetan camp. In the rear, more than 10,000 infantry in Netzhou lined up in dozens of phalanxes, swords and rumors, guns and halberds like a forest, shouting and covering up.
The sun rises and shines on the barren Gobi Desert. To the east of the hill, a bloody battle of 40,000 or 50,000 people officially kicked off.
