Chapter 293: The shield sword shows its might
As soon as the Tubo cavalry saw that the main general was under control, they shouted and swarmed up, trying to rescue Bu Rang from under Jiang Zhongshi, but they were stopped head-on by the 3,000 volt soldiers led by Jiang Zhongshi, and the two sides were in a scuffle.

Seeing the continuous influx of Tubo cavalry, the 3,000 volt soldiers led by Jiang Zhongshi finally fell behind due to the huge disparity in strength. Suddenly, thousands of feather arrows flew like raindrops from the oblique thorns, shooting directly into the formation of the Tubo army, and hundreds of horsemen were shot over when they landed.
Here, step let was pressed under Jiang Zhongshi, and struggled hard, but he didn't move, knowing that he was struggling with his strength, he would never be able to get out of Jiang Zhongshi's body, and he had a wit, so he used the magic skill of shrinking bones, and there were bursts of gurgling sounds at the joints of the upper and lower joints of the body, and the muscles of the whole body were contracted, and the whole person became thinner than before. ”
Because the use of this bone shrinking skill is very consuming internal force, and at the same time was pressed under the body of Jiangzhong Shi Zhuang like a brute bull for a long time, although Bu Rang successfully broke free from under the Jiangzhong stone, but for a while he couldn't help but feel dizzy, almost unsteady on his feet, fortunately the Tubo cavalry was numerous, seeing that the main general escaped, he struggled forward to break through the barrier of the crane cavalry, and pulled the physically exhausted step on a war horse, and rushed out of the battle formation with front and rear support.
The Tibetan army received the order of the main general to withdraw, and they turned their horses' heads and retreated in the direction of Hongshi Fort. Seeing this, Lai Xing'er pointed the long sword in his hand forward, and passed the general order: "The shield knife hand is forward, stop them." ”
Due to the continuous campaign, not only was there a serious shortage of war horses in the Tubo army, but even the war horses needed by the officials and troops in the Middle Earth were also insufficient, so Jingyun gathered the strength of the whole army and barely gathered 4,000 cavalry, all of which were transferred to Lai Xing'er to help him charge the mourning platform. The 6,000 men and horses led by Lai Xing'er were all infantry. Before setting off from the Lingtai, Lai Xing'er specially confessed that all the 2,000 jumping teams were changed into crossbowmen, with more arrows, in order to enhance the combat power of intercepting the Tibetan cavalry from a distance, and the other two teams were combined together to form a unique shield and knife team, which was specially designed to deal with the light cavalry of Tibet.
The shield knife team is a combat unit with two people holding a shield and one person attacking with a Mo knife, and the two sergeants each hold a shield higher than one person to cover the opponent's cavalry from the bottom to the bottom of the stab, while the Mo knife hand is responsible for attacking the oncoming enemy cavalry, using the length of the Mo knife to cut the legs of the enemy cavalry.
Not long ago, Jiang Zhongshi led the ambush soldiers from the red pine forest at the same time, Lai Xing'er ordered the crossbowmen to send arrows to support Jiang Zhongshi's department, the team of shield swordsmen had quietly approached the Tubo cavalry battle formation, at this time the Tubo cavalry got the order to retreat, pulled the horse's head, wanted to retreat, and happened to meet the shield swordsmen head-on.
In the sunlight, a handle of Mo knife from the tall and strong shield brush brush, in an instant, there are hundreds of horses in the knife fall, the horseback knight far to the ground, and these knife fell to the ground and blocked the retreat of the companions, for a while, the Tubo brigade of cavalry squeezed into a group, no matter how the cavalry shouted, they stepped down the war horses were unwilling to step on the body of their companions to retreat, the speed of the entire team retreat immediately slowed down.
"Little Stone, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you chase and kill Fan Kou quickly!" Lai Xing'er saw Jiang Zhongshi standing blankly on the edge of the red pine forest from a distance, and he didn't understand how Bu Rang got out of under him, and couldn't help but remind him loudly.
Jiang Zhongshi heard Lai Xing'er's call, woke up like a dream, immediately turned around and picked up his sword and mounted his horse, leading 3,000 cavalry to cover the ass of the Tubo army and kill the past. And before that, Luo San'er, who was led all the way into the red pine forest, was greedy for merit because of this, which led to too many casualties among the sergeants under his command, and he was eager to make up for the merits.
In this battle, from early morning to dusk, the Tibetan army reluctantly gathered the formation, tore a gap, and fled all the way back to the Red Stone Fort after dropping more than 10,000 corpses of men and horses.
Lai Xing'er saw that it was getting late, and he was afraid that the reinforcements of Tubo had arrived, but he was not in a good position, and did not order a fierce pursuit, but also took the opportunity to collect the troops and led the men and horses to withdraw to the Lingtai.
After this battle, the 20,000 light cavalry of the Tubo vanguard lost nearly half, and the Shenhe army only lost less than 1,000 men and horses in addition to the 1,000 cavalry under the command of Luo San'er to lure the enemy, which can be called a great victory. Qian Dashun had already learned the news of the victory at the front, ordered people to kill sheep and chickens, and prepared a sumptuous dinner for the victorious sergeants to reward the soldiers of the whole army and celebrate the victory in the first battle against Tibet.
For the time being, how Xing'er and the soldiers celebrated the victory in Lingtai Town did not show it, but said that the Tubo vanguard general Bu Rang, led 10,000 remnants of the defeated general to withdraw to the Red Stone Fort barracks, and there were sergeants to report: the two roads of soldiers and horses responded to Gongga and the main general of the West Route Army have been informed of the news of the defeat at the front, and strictly ordered Bu Rang to lead the army to continue to retreat to Bailing, fifty miles away, to join the Chinese army, and report in detail the process of engaging with the defenders of Lingtai.
Bu Rang was ashamed and ashamed, and ordered his own soldiers to tie up their own flowers, escort them to Gongga and Shedu, and be willing to apologize with death.
When the society heard that Burang and the Zhongtu official army were engaged in the first battle, they lost more than 10,000 horsemen, and they were so annoyed that they asked the sergeant to push Burang out of the Chinese military tent and behead the public, but was stopped by Gongga, who was sitting on the side.
Gongga approached Shedu and whispered in his ear for a while, and Shedu's face gradually softened, but he still refused to say the words of sparing concessions, and only said to Gongga in a cohesive manner: "This is your idea, Master, or you should explain it to this guy." If it doesn't work out, just ask him to just cut it off on his own. ”
Gongga paced over, untied the rope for Bu Rang with his own hands, and comforted him with kind words: "General Bu Rang has been running around for days, and it is really hard. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and generals must not blame themselves too much. The poor monk and the general of Shedu have received a secret report from the scout, and the one who led the army to garrison the Lingtai in China is the so-called Shenhe Yidu will come to Xing'er, thinking that the poor monk was still a hostage in his hands for eight months, and the general was defeated in a battle, what is it. ”
Seeing that Bu Rang was moved by his words, his face recovered, Gongga patted him on the shoulder, and then said: "The general has a strong martial arts, although he was defeated in front of the two armies, but the poor monk still has a very important mission, and the general must be competent.
