The horses' hooves are rolling, and the grass and mud are flying. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe 35,000 cavalry of the Tang Dynasty made a desperate bet and charged in the face of the 40,000 Tubo cavalry blocking the road ahead. This is the last madness, and everyone understands that perhaps none of the 35,000 people today will be able to go back. But at this point, there are no complaints, no lamentations, and those are useless. Put on their armor, take their blades, and ride their horses, and they are ready to die at any time, which is their fate.

The 40,000 cavalry of the Tibetan cavalry on the opposite side did not hesitate at all, and they occupied an absolute superiority in strength and a psychological superiority. Although they were on par with the other side, they only needed to drag the Tang army for half an hour, and the other 50,000 cavalry could rush into the Tang army's formation from their backs, and then it would be a full-scale strangulation.

When the Tang army charged towards the Tibetan soldiers and horses, the leading generals of the Tubo army also gave orders in a deep voice. Suddenly, the low sound of a trumpet resounded across the shores of Lake Namtso, like an elegy of death echoing in the sky. The next moment, the Tubo cavalry shouted strangely, holding dazzling scimitars and rushing straight towards the soldiers and horses of the Tang army.

Like a horny fisherman who sees naked lying on the bed, there is nothing in front of either side. Drama and teasing, some are just rough and crazy. The cavalry on both sides were red-eyed, like a frenzied herd of rhinoceros crushing each other and never looking back. At this time, there is no formation to speak of, what cone formation, what hook line formation, what bow formation, what fish formation, what long snake formation, to hell with it. Now there is only one formation, and that is the Charge Formation.

It was as if a thunderclap had been remembered in the sky, and the moment the two armies collided, it seemed that even Namtso Lake and the surrounding mountains trembled. And then in the midst of this thunder, the sound of blades clashing, the sound of broken bones, the sound of swords and guns penetrating flesh, the neighing of war horses, the sound of cursing, the roar of rage, the sound of screams, the sound of wheezing, the sigh of death, were intertwined. Even you have a million ears that can't tell how many sounds are on the battlefield at this moment, but you can put them all together, and that's the sound of death coming.

The initial collision took hundreds of lives in an instant. There was actually a meadow three or four miles wide on the shore of the lake, which made the formation of the two sides infinitely dense and compressed, and also made death come faster and more densely. The cavalry on both sides barely had the distance to maneuver, slew one, and before you could catch your breath, another enemy appeared in front of you. And so close that you can see the pores on his face and the shadow of himself in his pupils.

The sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark. But in terms of strength, these 40,000 Tibetan cavalry were no match for the 35,000 Tang cavalry. The cavalry of the Tang army are all elite, but the reason why the Tubo people can get together so many cavalry in a short period of time is not that they have so many cavalry in their establishment. That's because the Tibetan people are good at riding and archery, and they grow on horseback all year round.

Almost all of the Tibetan men and women were good at riding horses, and this alone was enough for them to quickly get into a large number of cavalry. If necessary, all the soldiers of the Tibetan kingdom could become cavalrymen, as long as they were given a horse and a sword. But such cavalry is obviously far from cavalry in the real sense, and the real cavalry is the real lore of this era, the king of soldiers. An elite cavalry needs to go through a long period of training and battlefield baptism, and it is obvious that the cavalry of the Tibetan State is not fully equipped with this. The reason why they dare to hedge is because they have another 50,000 helpers galloping here, and it is also because of the courage in their bones.

However, even so, hard power should not be underestimated. Although the Tang cavalry fell one after another, more Tibetan cavalry fell in a pool of blood. In particular, the 8,000 cavalry led by Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi cut into the formation of the Tubo people in two columns like two steel knives, cutting the deep queue of the Tubo people into three sections.

Goshuhan roared in rage, brandishing his machete. He doesn't know how many more souls there are under his sword. Every time he fought, he took the lead in rushing to the front line. Killing was as common to him as eating and drinking. Although the thousands of cavalry led behind him kept falling. But his team can still fight their way through the small places and maneuver back and forth.

"Brother Shu Dashuai, Li Dashuai is trapped in the side and rear and is under siege." A lieutenant general, covered in blood, rushed to Geshuhan and shouted.

Ge Shuhan pulled the Daguan knife from the neck of one of the Tibetan cavalrymen and looked back. In between, near the lake, Li Guangbi and thousands of cavalry were encircled. The Tubo people recognized Li Guangbi's identity, because Li Guangbi was not as rushing forward as Ge Shuhan, he was more in the middle of the team, so his handsome banner was not thrown aside as early as Ge Shuhan. Because of this, he became the biggest target. At this moment, it is surrounded by tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry, and the situation is dangerous.

"Go and save him." Geshuhan shouted.

Originally, if you rushed a few miles further, you could break through the defense line of the Tubo people and get out, but if you turned back to save it, you would obviously put yourself in a heavy encirclement again. But at this time, no one raised any objections, and no one made any rebuttals. Thousands of cavalry, led by Goshuhan, made a sharp turn and killed back.

Li Guangbi saw Ge Shuhan bringing people to kill, and frowned anxiously and shouted: "Leave me alone, just break through quickly." ”

In the midst of the chaos, his words were drowned out in a cacophony. watched as Ge Shuhan rushed over with a bloody path. The two soldiers and horses finally joined forces.

"Brother, I'm here to save you." Ge Shuhan's facial features were already covered in blood, only a row of snow-white teeth were exposed, and there was still a smile on his face.

Li Guangbi sighed: "Hey, Brother Shu, why are you so troubled." Let's talk about it, break through first. Why did you come back to save me? You see, the 50,000 enemy troops in the rear are already approaching. ”

At the bend of the lake beach in the rear, 50,000 Tibetan cavalry were already rolling in two miles away. The distance of two miles was not enough for the cavalry to drink a cup of tea.

"Brother, how could I let you die here, this time it was my fault, you reminded me from beginning to end, but I was a fool and couldn't listen. If you and I had to die, I would be the one who died, not you. Geshuhan laughed.

Li Guangbi sighed helplessly, although Ge Shuhan is a brave and unscrupulous person, sometimes stubborn and stupid is annoying, but he is a kind and righteous person, and he did not abandon himself at a critical time. And the whole thing is not his fault, although he has always had some worries in his heart, but he failed to stick to his own opinion, and he actually has to bear a lot of responsibility.

"Brother Shu is handsome, don't say it, it's important to break through immediately, how much can you go, you can't all die here." Li Guangbi shouted.

"That's what I'm saying, brothers, rush with me, let's rush out. Don't be afraid, it's a big deal that my brother Shuhan will die with you, and everyone will be very busy on the road to Huangquan. Geshuhan shouted.

On the battlefield, Ge Shuhan is undoubtedly the idol of the soldiers, and with him, the soldiers have the backbone, because the commander of Ge Shu rushed to the front like them, and even had the deeds of blocking a knife for the soldiers in order to save the soldiers. Although I don't know if it's true or not, the fact that this incident can be spread is enough to show that Ge Shuhan takes great care of the soldiers and is deeply loved by the soldiers. At this moment, the words of Marshal Ge Shu gave the soldiers a shot in the arm, and thousands of Tang cavalry shouted loudly, and they were bold.

Ge Shuhan turned back to Li Guangbi and said, "My brother has followed closely with your people, and I will hand it over to you behind me." ”

Li Guangbi said in a deep voice: "Don't worry. ”

Ge Shuhan shouted loudly, brandished the Daguan knife and rushed forward, and thousands of Tang cavalry followed with a clamour, rushing towards the dense Tubo cavalry in front. Li Guangbi shouted an order, and the thousands of cavalry around him also followed in the footsteps of Ge Shuhan and rushed away.

Although there are only more than 6,000 cavalry left, the energy of people is incomparable when they are desperate, let alone under the leadership of a fierce general like Ge Shuhan. The cavalry of the Tang Army was like a sharp blade cutting through the formation surrounded by the Tubo people in front. Ge Shuhan's big knife drew an arc of death in the air, but those who stopped in front of his horse, whether it was a general or an ordinary soldier, cut down the horse with a knife, and he was brave. Under his leadership, the officers and men of the Tang Army worked hard, increased a lot of courage and force, and rushed all the way to the northeast mountain pass.

The 50,000 cavalry of Tubo in the rear finally arrived, but the chaos on the battlefield and the corpses everywhere and the crowd of war horses with blades already running wildly made it impossible for them to catch up with the soldiers and horses of Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi for a while. When they finally rushed to the middle of the melee, they found that Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi had led thousands of cavalry to break through the encirclement and were heading along the lakeside.

"Chase. Chase them to the ends of the earth. "The leader was the Beichuan Cavalry Governor Wangmu, looking at the backs of Li Guangbi and Ge Shuhan fleeing in a hurry, Wangmu did not have the slightest frustration, on the contrary, he laughed. Only a few thousand people escaped, and this battle was already an earth-shattering victory, enough to avenge the stone castle city. And where can the remnants of Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi flee to? In the territory of the Tibetans, it may not be so easy for them to escape.

20,000 cavalry divided their troops to pursue and kill the remnants of Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi, and the rest joined the battle group on the spot to clear out the small Tang army that was still fighting fiercely. Soon, with the addition of a large number of Tibetan soldiers and horses, the battle on the lake beach quickly came to an end.

After counting the results, even Wangmu was a little surprised, it turned out that the big victory he thought of was not an absolute victory. Under such circumstances, the Tang army still inflicted great casualties on the Tibetan army. In addition to the more than 5,000 cavalry of the Tang army who broke out of the encirclement and escaped, the remaining nearly 30,000 cavalry were all annihilated. And the price paid by the Tibetan army was as high as 28,000 people. That is to say, in such an absolute superiority situation, it is still allowed to let the Tang army kill soldiers and horses equivalent to its own casualties, if you look at the results of the battle, it is actually a five-five game.

It's just that for Wangmu, the purpose of this battle has been achieved, and it is a good deal to exchange one for another, the number of the Tang army is limited, and the number of the Tubo army is several times more than them. A new round of conscription of soldiers is underway in the city, and this loss is nothing at all.
