Chapter 188: Winning streak

The terrifying blue flame is devouring the Tubo cavalry at the same time is also devouring the courage of the Tubo people, in the hot Jiaozhi, the temperature of the flame seems to be more uncomfortable, only three white phosphorus bombs devoured more than a thousand Turkic cavalry, the distance of the land of three arrows lost more than one percent of the horses, and when the two armies engaged, the Tubo stormtroopers will lose at least forty percent, this result is unacceptable to Tu, and the dove can't accept it, just now he stuck to the heat wave to beat the war horse back, the war horse is afraid of the loud explosion and is more afraid of the flame, Fortunately, their cavalry grew up on horseback and knew how to quickly appease the frightened horse.

"Whew"

The horn made of yak horns sounded in Litu's army, the dove was just a general, the real command of the battlefield was still in the hands of Litu, the horn meant to tell them to go around in circles and move forward in a roundabout way, he estimated that the Tang army would not have many weapons that killed so much, just like the siege equipment stone blasting vehicle, the trajectory of the attack was fixed, once it was sent out, it could only hit the target in a fixed position, and the cavalry could use the advantage of their agility to dodge left and right to avoid the opponent's blow.

I have to say that Li Tu is a good military commander, if the person who led the Tang Army was not Yang Lin, he really could avoid the attack of the Tang Army's rockets with high-speed movement, but Yang Lin is different, he has a computer and a formula for calculating the moving target, this kind of simple math problem can be solved in seconds by the computer.

Three more rockets rose into the air, and the running Tibetan cavalry began to tilt their heads to avoid the terrible thing, but unfortunately the gunpowder was propelled and fired quickly. It would take time for them to disperse, and it would not be possible to escape so quickly, but the situation was much better than when they were at a loss. Three flowering bullets came down, and only more than 100 people died.

"This weapon of the Tang people has different effects after exploding, and it can actually attack the enemy at a distance of nearly a thousand meters, it is really unheard of, it is impossible for the army of the dove to please anything good, make a tentative contact, and prepare to collect the troops! Surround them. Slow down is the best policy. Li Tu cautiously said to several lieutenants around him. He had studied the battle reports from Shuzhong, so he expected the combat strength of the Tang Army to rise again and again, only 3,000 Tang Army cavalry. can actually make the 20,000 cavalry of the famous Tibetan general Zangbratu stop, but now it seems that his side is more like a lamb.

"The first column is all fired, and the second column is ready."

"The second column opened fire. The first column was quickly loaded. ”

There are not many second-stage rocket thrusters. Yanglin still has to be used when firing white phosphorus bombs, the speed of the Tubo cavalry is really fast, only two rounds of rockets have been fired to the Tang army's circle of 100 meters away, Yanglin must break them up in a round of artillery time, otherwise once they start to throw arrows rain, casualties will inevitably occur in the battle array.

"Boom" the earth is like it is about to crack, and the power of a hundred Shenwei cannons fired together is too fierce, and the cannonballs of the Tang Army have long been improved into flowering shells. The explosion in the enemy formation splashed dirt and gravel on the belly of the Tibetan cavalry, causing the horses to neigh in pain. began to jump and run around, and the Tubo cavalry, who had already pulled out the arrows in their quivers and were ready to shoot the Tang army with a rain of arrows, had to put down their bows and arrows and keep their horses steady with both hands, but the more time was delayed, the more they gave the Tang army a chance to load ammunition.

"At elevation three, the loaded muzzle is fired quickly." The shouting of the herald continued, and the battle flag in the hand of the flag speaker was waving a hula, and at this time the battlefield had a bit of a bloody atmosphere, and the Tubo people still stubbornly approached the Tang army's round formation.

"The sword and shield hand holds the shield, and the pikemen are ready to stab the enemy."

Yang Lin's order was only given for a while, and with a ding ding dong, the Tubo people who had already approached shot their bows and arrows, and the arrows hit the wooden shields, some of which were inserted, and some of them were knocked away, and many of the Tang soldiers who did not see the Ling Qi or were slow to raise their shields were pierced through the body by the arrows of the Tubo people.

The long hiss of the war elephants sounded, and the Tibetan cavalry finally collided, and the scalps and key parts of the war elephants were covered with thick armor, and it was difficult for bows and arrows to pierce their bodies, but the sabers of the Tubo people could leave some non-fatal wounds on their bodies.

"Poof, poof"

The sound of flesh and blood being pierced by sharp weapons came out from the front of the war elephants, and there were three or five Tang troops holding spears in the gap between each war elephant and the war elephants, and their sharp spear heads could even pierce the war horses of the Tubo people together, and they could not cross the flesh wall built by the war elephants, and the Tubo cavalry who approached suffered great casualties.

At this point in the war, there is no need to command, starting from killing the first person, the soldier's love will automatically enter the state of war, they will kill three times in a row, the Tang army that controls the Shenwei cannon in the second and third lines has been loaded at this time, but there is no need to fire, the Turks are almost under their own guns, there is no point in firing the cannon, they use their bows and arrows to shoot the Tubo people, Yanglin did not order the escort to participate in the battle in paper armor, nor did he use a series of new equipment such as grenades, As long as the war elephant's flesh wall was not breached, he thought it necessary to let these newly surrendered Jiaozhi soldiers have some hatred with the Tibetans.

Mu Keduo quietly pressed his hand on his new combat knife, Yang Lin did not order the officers above the battalion level to fight, so he was doing nothing to count the battle losses of the two sides, but he was surprised to find that there were not many dead people on his own side, it seemed that the two armies were intertwined together in hand-to-hand combat, in fact, most of the Tubo people were stabbed to death by their own army, and even the leading Tubo strong man now has two blood holes and three arrows on his body, although he is still holding on with a ruthless force, But his blade can only be chopped on the iron chain connecting the war elephants, this combination of formation can be very effective against the Tibetan cavalry, it seems that the way of the battle formation, the Han is the originator.

Li Tu couldn't see the situation in front of the battle formation at all from a distance of one or two miles, he didn't have a telescope, but he clearly felt that the cavalry on his side was decreasing, and the thick team was thinning layer by layer, and he didn't realize that it was bad until Li Tu vaguely saw those Tang army war elephants covered in blood.

"Blow the trumpet, collect the troops."

Li Tu shouted, but at this time, how many soldiers were there for him to collect, more than 10,000 horsemen rushed out, and less than 3,000 horsemen could still run back intact.

"All the muzzles are there, the elevation is four, and a round of guns will be set off to send them off." Looking at the corpses of the Tubo people piled up on the ground, Tang Jun's feelings here instantly became high, and Yang Lin issued such an order in a relaxed tone in accordance with everyone's feelings, in fact, he wanted to cultivate the courage of these soldiers in such a tone, when they were used to seeing dead people and faced death easily, they would be more fearless of death on the battlefield.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The tongue of fire was swallowed in the muzzle of the cannon, and the Tubo cavalry who turned back and fled suffered another round of bombardment, leaving hundreds of corpses behind, Li Tu never expected that a tentative attack would actually bury one-third of his strength, and the Tang army was too fierce!

"The whole army listened to the order, pulled out the earplugs of the war elephants, maintained the position, and advanced at a uniform speed."

Yang Lin's order was given again, and the team of war elephants that were still like a city wall just now was driven by the mahouts after a while, and the few seriously injured elephants were chained off and slowly pulled to the back for treatment.

"The Tang army has moved, they can actually maintain such a formation to move, but the speed is too slow, and it is not suitable to continue to fight with them when we have not found a way to restrain them, and the whole army listens to the order and retreats to Dawang City."

Li Tu decisively withdrew, and even the corpses of their fellow clans were too lazy to collect, which also made Yang Lin feel at ease to stop the army repairing, this battle was not fought for a long time, but it was very consuming of people's mental strength, especially the Jiaozhi soldiers who did not have this kind of combat experience, Yang Lin ordered to move forward naturally to scare Li Tu, the water and food that the war elephants need every day are very huge, if they are surrounded here far away, or the Tang army itself will be in chaos in two days, but Li Tu, who suffered a huge defeat, takes it for granted that the Tang army has such a strong combat power, It will definitely solve such a problem, but Tang Jun was lucky enough to avoid trouble.

Rest for an hour or two to clean the battlefield, make a count of the wounded and the dead, the Tang army died 800 in this battle, more than 1,000 wounded, 9,000 Tubo people died, the wounded are not counted, that is to say, the Tubo people who fled back in the end are less than 2,000, this can be said to be a big victory, the Tubo people's swords, clothes, bows and arrows are not counted, hundreds of intact war horses are good things, with these horses, the Tang army's scout efficiency can be greatly improved, a small amount of supply can also be carried out quickly, the scene was used by Yanglin, The wounded and sick had to be transported back to Hongdu City to be treated by White Rose, and only a small number of male soldiers of the art troupe in the main combat unit on the front line were responsible for bandaging the wounded.

The army still has to continue to march, and there is no water source for such a large number of war elephants to repair, and at this time, the task of the land army has actually been completed, but I don't know what the expression of the heavy loss Li Tu was when he returned to the city of King Tony.

Peng Jian, who attacked King Tony City by water, finally raised his eyebrows for a while, the gate of King Tony City did not withstand the bombardment of his several cannons at all, with the help of King Tony's troops and the spies of the Tang army who were released back in the city, he solved the small number of defenders of the Tubo people very lightly, how could the Tubo people do a good job of attacking and defending the walled city, after robbing the Tony Palace, Peng Nut ordered all the soldiers on the landing ship to land, and dismantled dozens of Shenwei cannons on the battleship and hoisted them on the head of King Tony's city, King Tony, whose strength is the head of the Seven Kings of Jiaozhi, is too rich, the Tubo people have received all his property, and Peng Jian has received all the property of the Tubo people, and the gold, silver and jewelry here are enough for thousands of his brothers to break their legs and eat for a lifetime, not to mention the grain that is not calculated at all, and it can't be moved, so simply defend the city, and the Tubo people who want to come back from defeat have no siege equipment, how can they break the Tang army that is good at defending the city.
