On the morning of the next day, the entire Jiannan Army mobilized and began to prepare for the upcoming big battle. Wang Yuan www.biquge.info not a big man, and he fought against the 160,000 Tubo army with less than 60,000 soldiers and horses, which was considered by many people to be an extremely crazy act. However, Wang Yuan held a heavy weapon in his hand, and the thousands of thunderbolts were his hole cards, and Wang Yuan believed that he would be able to beat the Tubo people in a daze.

In addition to the Shenwei cannon and thunderbolts, in order to resist the attack of the enemy who was several times larger than the Tibetans, it was necessary to have the assistance of special fortifications. Therefore, Wang Yuan ordered the soldiers and horses to be cut down and hauled, and fortifications were built. He wanted to set up barriers around the camp, so that the Tibetans would have to pay a huge price for every step they charged.

On the periphery of the camp, Wang Yuan ordered the digging of trenches and fortifications as a line of defense. In addition to these fortifications, in order to resist the cavalry charge of more than 100,000 Tibetans, it was necessary to have special means of defending against cavalry charges. To this end, Wang Yuan ordered the logs cut and dragged from the snow-capped mountains to be simply trimmed, sharpened their heads, and enclosed the outer wall of a camp along the outer edge of the trench.

In this regard, Ge Shuhan and others were puzzled, and Wang Yuan gave them a simple demonstration. When Liu Jun led a group of cavalry to feign charging towards the camp, Song Jiangong waved the command flag, and the soldiers immediately knocked down the logs, using the excavated fortifications as a liner, and hundreds of logs instantly turned into giant spears pointing diagonally upward. A forest of giant spears was formed that was large enough for people to crash into and break their tendons. Liu Jun and the others were on guard in advance, and the speed of the horse was not fast, so they urgently reined in the horse and dodged before hitting the tip of the spear.

Actually, this is not a new idea, it is actually somewhat similar to the charging formation of anti-cavalry formed by pikemen. It's just that the pikemen put up their shields and stick their spears out of the gaps in their shields, threatening the charging cavalry. But under several rounds of cavalry charges, the flesh and blood could not resist it at all.

Wang Yuan didn't have so many soldiers and horses to exchange lives with his opponents, so he abandoned that method of defending against charges and evolved into this kind of wall of giant spears. The tail of such a giant wooden spear is against the pit of earth, and it can withstand the tremendous force of the impact. The giant spear is thick and strong, and no matter how many times the enemy charges, such a giant spear array will not be scattered. It's a good thing to deal with a large number of multi-wave charges.

Moreover, it is also extremely shading. I didn't know that I thought it was just a wooden fence on the periphery of the camp of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, but in an instant, it could become a giant spear array that killed the cavalry.

After watching Wang Yuan's demonstration, Ge Shuhan couldn't help but feel ashamed. This kind of small idea is actually very simple, and it is not a difficult way to come up with, but if Wang Yuan doesn't do this, he really can't think of this method for a while. Although it is impossible to use this method in normal combat, it is neither time nor necessary. But in the face of the upcoming charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, this method is definitely a good way to make a big difference. Ge Shuhan didn't say a word and took his soldiers and horses to join the team that went to the slopes of the snowy mountains twenty miles away to cut wood, Wang Yuan stopped him again and again, but he insisted on not listening, and could only go with him with a wry smile. Ge Shuhan fulfilled his promise, and he wanted to prove his words that he was willing to do everything for the revenge of killing the enemy.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Wang Yuan demanded that giant spear formations be set up on the northwest and south sides of the military camp, and fortifications should be excavated. This requires a lot of wood and manpower. Almost all the soldiers and horses in the army were dispatched, and more than 50,000 soldiers and horses were collectively transformed into coolies who cut down trees and dig soil. But everyone knew that this was to meet the arrival of the great war, and no one complained.

In addition to fortifications and spear formations, a large number of obstacles were needed in the open area in front of the camp. So, the craftsmen and thousands of soldiers in the army began to build wooden horses. It's much easier to build a rejection horse. As long as there is enough wood, several sections of logs can be spliced together horizontally and vertically to form a half-human-high obstacle. Wang Yuan didn't want these horses to be built with sharp horns like regular horse fences to injure the enemy's horses and soldiers, Wang Yuan only needed them to hinder the Tubo people's charge speed and allow the Tang archers to release a few more rounds of arrows. More than half of the soldiers of the Jiannan Army are equipped with bows and arrows, and if they have a few more rounds of arrows, they will shoot tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 arrows, which will also bring thousands of casualties to the Tibetan people.

On the battlefield, every detail determines the victory or defeat of the battle, although Wang Yuan does not participate in logging and digging, he is more tired than anyone else, and much busier than anyone else. Because he has to think about every detail. This war is too important to affect the success or failure of this crusade against Tibet. Wang Yuan had to think hard and think about it thoroughly.

In the middle of the city, the general of the Shenchuan capital, Enargu, received a report about the movement of the Tang army's camp, and he hurried to the east city, climbed the top of the high east city tower and looked in the direction of the Tang army's camp. As reported to the case, the Tang army camp was in full swing, and several groups of cavalry were constantly transporting timber from the snow-capped mountains in the southwest. The dense Tang Army soldiers were digging soil and planting trees in front of the barracks, and they were very busy.

A general beside him said softly, "What are these Tang people busy with?" Is this an expansion of the barracks? Could it be that a large force of Tang troops will come to reinforce it? ”

Er Na Gu sneered and reprimanded: "Reinforcements are a fart, the Tang people only know how powerful I am in Tubo now, but it's too late." At this moment, the mobilization of soldiers and horses for reinforcements will not take at least more than a month to arrive, how can the distant water quench the thirst of the near? ”

"So what are they doing? Busy in full swing, is this to strengthen the barracks to live here permanently? ”

"Hehe, they're not going to live permanently, they're hurrying to build the camp fortifications. This Jiannan Jiedu made Wang Yuan not a straw bag, he knew that we were about to attack them, so he was in a hurry to build fortifications in front of the barracks. ”

"General, in that case, should we just watch? It is better to attack before they have built the fortifications. Once they are allowed to build fortifications, will it not be disadvantageous for our army to attack? ”

"Stupid words, if you want to attack this general, you have already attacked, and you still allow them to stay in the city for more than ten days? Zampu and Prime Minister Dacheng urged me many times, but I didn't do anything, at this moment, the soldiers and horses of Beichuan are about to arrive for reinforcements, but am I in a hurry to attack? Ehna reprimanded.

"That's that, but my subordinates actually don't understand, the Tang army only has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside the city, and we have 100,000 troops in the city, why didn't the general order to attack?"

Er Na Gu sneered and said: "You won't understand the truth of surrendering soldiers without a fight. Fighting a war is not something that can be won by a large number of people. Obviously, the Tang army has fallen into a desperate situation, it does not dare to attack, it does not dare to retreat, and the supply line of grain and grass materials is long, and it will soon collapse the morale of its own army, so why should I send troops to fight? They are exposed to the wind and sun outside the city, let's just defend the city, and it is not an overnight thing to treat their army into chaos, but why take this risk? ”

"Oh, I see, I was taught. The general really planned a clever plan, according to the general's words, we really shouldn't fight them. ”

He sighed imperceptibly and said, "Besides...... Do you think that our 100,000 men will be able to defeat his more than 50,000 soldiers and horses? I don't think it's that easy. Wang Yuan is cunning, he doesn't attack the city because he wants me to attack him. I'm not a Tang Dynasty man who is majestic and destroys his own ambition. Judging from the many years of experience of the general and the Tang people, the elite soldiers of the Tang army are famous for their courage and skill. The Jiannan Army led by Wang Yuan has fought a lot of tough battles in the past two years, and it is definitely not good. You don't want to think about it, what are the ways of our 100,000 soldiers and horses, forty percent of them are newly recruited soldiers and horses, and the defense of the city can still be dealt with, and I am afraid that I will pee my pants in a head-to-head confrontation. It's not that you don't know their virtues. ”

The general nodded again and again and said, "What the general said is very true, these recruits really can't succeed. But General, why did you agree to attack the Tang Army this time? ”

Enargu smiled and said: "Inspired by the great victory of the Beichuan army over the Tang army's northern route army, Zampu and the great prime minister asked for a counterattack and gave the order to die, how can I not respect it?" Moreover, Wang Mu was anxious to perform, and brought 60,000 cavalry from Beichuan to reinforce me, with them taking the lead, why wouldn't I do it? He wanted to make meritorious contributions, so General Ben gave him a chance, and with his 60,000 cavalry to help, I was sure of this battle. ”

"The general really thinks about Zhou Xiang, Wang Mu wants to be the general of Beichuan Capital, so he came with soldiers and horses to reinforce, and he must be working very hard. The battle was won, but the credit was not his, but I was afraid that he would work in vain. The general snickered and whispered.

He reprimanded with a heavy face: "It's not necessarily a good thing for people to be too smart sometimes, so you are a little too smart." ”

"The lowly knows the wrong, and the lowly knows the wrong." The general hurriedly bowed down and admitted his mistake and slowly retreated.

Ernargu's gaze crossed the flat land of six or seven miles, looking at the soldiers and horses in the busy Tang camp in the distance, a smile flashed on his face, and he muttered to himself: "It's too late to hold Buddha's feet now, and let you jump for two or three days, and then you will all die here." Hey, Wang Zhonghei was defeated in my hands, and now this Wang Yuan is also defeated in my hands, looking at the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be no strong opponents in the future. Didn't I become an invincible handsome man in the world? Invincibility! Invincible is really lonely. ”
