Section 270 Persistence is Victory (2)
On Zander's appearance, even like the Tang people, with the air of Confucianism, he has a noble status, and is an important member of the famous Ludongzan family in Tibet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After the death of Songtsen Gampo, the power of Tubo was held by the great discourse Lu Dongzan. In the fourth year of Qianfeng (667), Lu Dongzan died of illness, and the sons were in charge of the military and political power of Tubo, and the eldest son was the commander of the 100,000 Tang army in Dafeichuan, and Zande was the younger brother of Qinling!
So the tent soldiers he led were not the most elite, but also quite elite, in his opinion, the army was waiting for work, the Tang army came from a long distance, walked in the desert, and shed a layer of skin without dying (this is a fact, many Tang troops have sunburned off a layer of skin). Therefore, when he dealt with the Tang Army, he straightforwardly crushed it with dignified soldiers, and did not engage in any conspiracy.
No, the battle was one-sided, and the Tubo people beat the Tang army to the ground, so he couldn't believe his eyes.
He blinked, and it must have happened.
But I saw that the Tang cavalry spread out on both sides, revealing the spearman from before, holding a Mo knife, leading a phalanx of Mo knife infantry to charge.
They have the same armor, all of them are black helmets and black armor, this is the mountain infantry division acting as a Mo knife soldier formation, they definitely can't play cavalry shooting, then use Mo Dao.
Although they went into battle halfway, the Mo Dao hand used the Mo Dao to move the Mo Dao as if it were similar, they moved forward firmly, like a solid wall, but it was more like a killing machine that took people's lives and chopped everything in its way to pieces!
They rushed into the enemy's herd of horses, their movements in unison, the same movements of horizontal slashing and slashing, shouting "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"
If the knife is cut down, the current Tubo people will be hacked to death.
Ah Yi showed his might, the Mo knife in his hand was like a demon devouring life, every time the knife went down, there would always be a different head, leaving a piece of flesh on the ground, even the war horse they were riding was no exception.
The road that the Mo Dao soldiers walked had a large amount of blood splattered, it was an out-and-out blood road, and the blood in some places even accumulated into small pools.
Blood-drenched and shocking.
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty seems to be inferior to the Tubo cavalry in any condition, but they do not show weakness to attack against attack, fiercely launch an attack, and when the battle is the most fierce, the scene of exchanging life for life abounds, and the killing is covered in blood, like a madman.
The horizontal ones are afraid of the flute, and the one who is afraid of the flute is not dead!
The Tang people are crazy, and the Tubo people are not crazy.
How can a sane person win a madman?!
Therefore, the Tubo people chased and fought the Tang army, the back blocked the front, and the front caught up with the Tang army, cut down, and killed.
Random knives cut down, flesh and blood flying, and died without even screaming, the elite of Tibet? Slaughtered by the Tang Army like a chicken, that's scum! Dregs! Dregs!
On Zander, I'm going to scold!
Seeing this terrible scene, it is too late for Zander to repent!
"If I knew that Tang Jun was a group of madmen, I should have used the method of dealing with madmen!"
It's too late to find another way, and Zander's heart is retreating.
Unlike the Tang Dynasty's army, which is state-owned, if a force is exhausted, as long as it dares to fight and has touching deeds, the imperial court will definitely replenish them with men, or even more.
The soldiers and horses of Tibet are all privately owned, and it is a private matter to pull up the team and supply, and Zand's troops are cavalry, elite cavalry, and the infantry units are easy to replenish after the battle, but once the cavalry troops are devastated, it will be extremely difficult to replenish them.
The half-pastoral cavalry was useless in fighting in the country, and the cavalry of the Tang Army was also an abused role, and only the professional tent soldiers were the backbone.
The number of soldiers will affect one's voice and status in the country and in the family.
If you fight hard, the troops will be gone, and you won't dare to go out!
He raised his right hand and was about to give an order, when a tall black-armored horseman next to him boldly said, "City Lord! (On Zander is the lord of Warm Spring City), although the enemy is crazy, it will not last, and our army can win a big victory if it persists a little longer! ”
Speaker, the Turkic Ashina Chixin is also!
Ashina is the surname of the Turkic country, since the Tang Dynasty broke the Turks, many Ashina invested in the Tang Dynasty as an official, and some of the enemies of the Tang Dynasty continued to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty, this Ashina Chixin is one of them, many times with the Tang army at war, the last time also in the Tarim River to help the Tubo people attack Feng Xiaobao, but unfortunately the success fell short, this time next to the praise of the Zande to give him advice.
Zander was not without vision, but he pointed to the rear of the Tang army, where the stationary troops looked more refined than the Tang army, and the banners were more and bigger.
This is the reserve of the Tang Army, and it is also the first army led by Feng Xiaobao, a descendant army.
"Although the Tang army is elite, our army is better than the Tang army!" Ashina Chixin pointed out that it was the account soldiers led by Zander himself, the descendant troops, who also acted as reserves.
Comrade Ashina is right, the main force of the Tubo people still exists, and if they really want to fight Feng Xiaobao, they may not be defeated.
When the courage of the Tang army runs out, and the essence/spirit/numbness/drunkenness/medicine runs out, they will be weak, and it will be the turn of the Tubo people to teach the Tang army a lesson (lesson).
The question is, to annihilate this Don army, how many people can Zander's troops still stand?
Therefore, Zander could not hold on.
"Retreat!"
The horn blew, and the Tubo people rushed like a receding tide, and the Tang army could not catch up.
The wolf cubs he forked fled so fast, the Tang army broke the skins of the horses, and they still couldn't catch up with them.
Looking at their distant backs, everyone in the Tang Army exhaled heavily, feeling that their hands and feet were out of strength and exhausted, and many of them were too tired to move.
They couldn't believe it: we won the war like this?!
The superstition of Feng Xiaobao in the army has been raised to a new level!
The battle lasted less than an hour, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The Tibetans suffered 2,000 casualties, 2,000 to be exact, because all of their wounded were mended and killed.
The Tang army suffered 1,200 casualties, half of whom were killed or seriously disabled, and the number of losses was not small.
……
A day later, the Tang army appeared under the city of Shule, thousands of horses rumbled and shook the earth, arrogantly marched on the road on the edge of the city, the tall standard-bearer team held high the banner of the Tang army, blowing and blowing, showing off their might around the city around the city of Shule, their cheers were like a tsunami to the Tubo and Shule people in the city were shocked!
The rangers of the Tang army, like vicious wolves, went everywhere to loot people and materials, and robbed everything useful: grain, grass, livestock, money, wood......
Personnel are necessary, and the necessary materials for attacking Shule City to "fill the ravines" in the future will be as good as possible.
Tang Jun didn't have a good temper, when he encountered resistance, he was killed, and the slow-moving leather whip was whipped over, and only those Shule people who could speak Tang dialect could be treated better.
After collecting a lot of things, Feng Xiaobao's troops waited for Xiu Mingren's infantry to arrive before they could attack the city. (To be continued.) )
