Section 459 Collapse
Strategize, and the general will win a victory thousands of miles away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The use of catapults to "decapitate the enemy's chief" at close range was the work of Jing Dongling, chief of staff of the Tang Army, who did not participate in this battle, and he also assisted Li Jinxing in managing logistics on the Tangbo Ancient Road.
It was inspired by Wei Xi's instruction that "troops should be good at using the power at hand to strike at the enemy".
As the chief of staff, knowing the power of the movable counterweight catapult, Jing Dongling pondered it.
Because it came out for the first time, the Tubo people must not know the situation of the catapult, and they could not dream of the range of the counterweight catapult, and there is a lot to be done in it.
Ordinary catapults can't shoot very far, and they require a lot of manpower or animal power, and when they are used, they will arouse the vigilance of the Tibetan people.
However, the counterweight catapult is different, its range is far beyond that of ordinary catapults, which will surprise the Tibetan people.
Within the killing distance of the catapult, find the enemy chief to give them a fire bomb to taste, maybe there will be a big surprise.
He designed a set of combat plans, and the Tang army implemented it in accordance with it, in fact, it was only a possible hope, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish in the first firing before the battle, this blow was simply comparable to the Mongol Meng Ke Khan killing the Song army under the Great Song Diaoyu City and the Ming army killing the old wild boar skin under the Ningyuan City!
With Wei Xi here, Meng Ke Khan and the old wild boar skin should no longer exist, leaving only the legend of the Tang Army's catapult burning Tubo Zampu!
The oil that burned Zampu to death was also specially made, and the fire was fierce, and Wei Xi boasted triumphantly after seeing it on the test site: "This is the real fire of Samadhi, and the water can't be extinguished!" ”
The oil tank was immediately named "Samadhi True Fire"!
As a result, he made a contribution and burned Tubo Zampu alive, and his guards were helpless, watching Zampu burn to charcoal!
……
Zan Pu died, many Tubo people were indignant, chanting the slogan of "avenge Zampu" to kill the Tang army, and the Tang army had to wake up and fight with twelve points of spirit, and try to save their lives under the attack of the opponent's madman.
But more Tubo people are panicking, the Tang army can even kill Zampu and burn their gods to death, how to deal with such an enemy?
Are they not more powerful than God?
In particular, the Tang army kept shouting "Zampu is dead" in the Tibetan language, and the hearts of the Tubo people gradually lost their minds, their movements slowed down, their charges were slow, and deserters appeared all the time.
Like ice and snow under the sun, the Tubo army is melting!
Not only that, but Antelope Beach was lost, and it was a heavy place for military rations!
Even Lisa Ruo disappeared, and the Tubo people had no one to command.
Looking from a high place, the scene of the painter Yan Shigu is like a huge arc, constantly expanding, and when expanding, red light bursts out, like a blooming blood flower.
Tibet is poor! Yan Shigu was overjoyed.
In a few moments, the speed of the huge arc-shaped "sword light" of the Tang army suddenly accelerated, expanding in a semicircle, and the area of the Tubo people was constantly being swallowed up, becoming smaller and sparser, and the strength of the Tubo was constantly weakening.
There are more and more Tubo people who have fled, some of them are still fighting stupidly, while the elven Tubo people have already fled on horseback, and some Tang troops have already rushed through the defense line of the Tubo people and appeared in the rear of the Tubo people!
Shi Wanchao and Hei Fang Changzhi only looked at the place where Zampu was stationed and killed, and when they arrived there, they saw that all the people had fled, and they lost a place of flags, leaving only the charcoal-burned carriage and the small skeleton in the car, let's just count it as Xiao Zampu's, so the two generals shared the credit equally.
The exciting time came, on the endless steppe, the sea of clouds was churning, the smoke and dust were filled, the bowstrings crackled and crackled, and the chaotic Tang army light cavalry chased the fastest, shooting at the moving deserters as targets while chasing. The heavy cavalry and infantry also swarmed behind, and they ran so fast that they almost caught up with the light cavalry, and ruthlessly launched a massacre against the Tibetans.
No prisoners will be left in this battle!
The military order was issued, and Wei Xi wanted to weaken the strength of the Tubo people as much as possible.
The cheers of the Tang army, the screams of the Tibetan people and the roars of the horses were mixed together, like the roar of ten thousand thunders, and the troops were like sharp arrows stuck behind the enemy, unstoppable, and it was really a grand and magnificent field battlefield that no one had ever seen.
The field was full of the corpses of the Tubo, the cavalry of the Tang Army trampled over the corpses and wounded soldiers mercilessly, and the infantry scrambled to follow, rushing like wolves and tigers, and killing the Tubos when they saw them!
The Tubo army was defeated in large numbers, and countless men and horses were driven away and fled for their lives, until they fled to the Nu River.
The upper reaches of the Nu River, also known as the Naqu River, where the water rushing with white spray is turbulent and deep, and people and horses cannot wade through the water, and the Tubo people set up three suspension bridges there to facilitate the transition, which is how they came before.
However, when the Tibetan deserters fled to the river, they were in disarray, dusty and unrecognizable.
The physical fatigue and dirt were nothing, and their hearts were as cold as the water of the river, and they were surprised to find that the wooden planks for erecting the drawbridge had not been removed by anyone, only the bare iron chains remained, and the defenders who were originally by the river were also nowhere to be seen!
Who did this to you?
Some of the Tibetan people tried to climb the chain to cross the river, but they were not the eighteen warriors of the Red Army Dadu River, crawling and crawling, listening to the roar of the river below, the waves splashing wet clothes, and couldn't help but tremble and weak, and the hands and feet slipped, and they slapped through the water, one after another, and disappeared into the river immediately.
It's too late to curse is a good thing done by a ghost who lacks morality, and the sound of the Tang army killing behind him is gradually sounding, and the Tubo people are in a hurry!
What can I do?
Some fled along the banks of the river, many went directly into the water with horses, and the once powerful Tibetans lost the confidence to fight, and few dared to turn back to fight, although they still had tens of thousands!
Maybe they're right, too, it's good to fight, but it's faster to die.
The Tang army was so big that the army was in chaos, everyone rode horses and ran with the crowd, and the horses became chaotic like sheep.
But it's nothing, I know in advance that I can't run until I can't run.
The generals of the Tang Army almost rushed to the front, they couldn't stop at all, they killed happily, they ran happily, there was nothing more refreshing than chasing the dead north, they galloped across the country, and they could kill no matter how they wanted. Rushed straight to the bank of the river and almost rushed into the river.
Stopped the horses and shot their bows and arrows in rows into the river.
However, it was soon found that the effort was in vain, the river was windy, and the bow and arrow were often lost.
Why do you need a bow and arrow, let alone a saber, the natural water helped the Tang army to eliminate the Tubo people, the turbulent river swallowed the Tubo people, and there was not one in ten who could cross the river.
The drowned Tibetans went down the river, and the corpses of people and horses piled up in the gentle part of the current, and so many of them died, even covering the surface of the river, it was really shocking to look at.
Finally, I couldn't run anymore, and there were no Tubo people in sight.
Victorious
The Don Army cheered loudly and roared in a hoarse voice, their throats already smoking and fiery after a day of use.
But I didn't shout much, because the military order was issued quickly, everyone drank water, took medicine (Rhodiola), chewed tea, didn't run more, didn't talk much, calmed down, and returned to the camp as soon as possible to rest.
If the previous river water helped the Tang army to eliminate the Tubo people, then the altitude sickness caused by the violent exercise killed a lot of Tang troops!
Such a way of playing, running violently, when fighting, there is nothing for both people and horses, but as soon as it stops, the horse immediately dies, and according to later statistics, 85% of the horses participating in the war died!
If it weren't for the spare horses, the Tang army would have been ready to drive the eleventh line to Luoxia overnight.
Many brave soldiers, after the war, walked and walked, fell headlong, and could not get up again!
The field hospital of the Tang Army was open all night to rescue the wounded and sick. (To be continued.) )
