Yanglin didn't find any good way to restrain the Turkic cavalry, the speed of movement on land is the shortcoming of his army, although now the number of his army has reached 80,000, but in his opinion, there are less than 3,000 qualified soldiers, the Tubo people can consolidate their territory with peace of mind, their population is more than twice as small as that of the Tang Dynasty, so their thirst for food is not as strict as the Tang Dynasty, if Yanglin does not take the lead to launch an attack, they even have the intention of dividing the land with the Tang Dynasty, In their opinion, Shuzhong and the Qinghai wasteland were more suitable for them to fight against the Tang army.

The fleet on the sea moved, half of the combat ships and all the landing ships sailed into the Mekong River, and it was their task to bypass the enemy and attack the city behind the enemy. The war elephant array is the only thing that Yanglin came up with to fight against the Tubo cavalry, in front of the Tubo people who come and go like the wind, in fact, the power of the Shenwei cannon is very limited, and the slow firing of the great range reduces their lethality to the enemy soldiers, and the war elephant with simple armor and blocked ears can just become the meat shield of the army, capture the city, and then capture the city, and do not leave a foundation for the Tubo people is what Yanglin has to do, in the absence of cavalry, the advantage of the Tang army is always to defend the city.

"Report, there are a large number of Tibetan cavalry thirty miles ahead, at least no less than 10,000."

"Report, a large number of Tibetan cavalry were found thirty miles away from the left flank, and the number of troops was no less than 10,000."

"Report, a large number of Tibetan cavalry were found thirty miles away from the right flank, with no less than 10,000 troops."

The scouts on donkey-like ponies sent back information about the enemy forces in front of them one by one, but there was no way. There are no good war horses in the land of Jiaozhi, and this thing can run faster than an elephant is already a good riding livestock, according to Yanglin's estimate, at this time when they rode back, the army of the Tubo people may have advanced for another ten miles.

"More than 30,000 horsemen are out together, it seems that the Tubo people want to eat us in one bite! The order was given, a circle was formed on the spot, the war elephant was the head, and all the muzzles were raised to four levels, ready to meet the enemy. ”

Yang Lin decisively gave the order. The tortoise shell-like circle formation is the way Yang Lin thought of to fight against the Tubo cavalry, the tall and large armored war elephants block the periphery, and tie iron chain links to them, unless the weapons of the Tubo people can cut the iron chains, it is difficult to break through the formation, and behind the war elephants stands a team of spearmen holding a long spear, the pikemen are flanked by sword and shield soldiers, the cavalry of the Tubo people is not weaker than the Turks, and the configuration of spears and swords and shields can just resist their arrow rain and sprint.

And after two teams of soldiers. It was a Shenwei cannon arranged in an arc, and the soldiers near the gun carriage were all shielded, and their operations could be carried out completely with one hand, and in the center of the large array. It is already an absolutely safe area, even if it is the Condor Hands of Tubo, their arrows can't fly here, and now this place has been assumed by Yang Lin himself to set up several rocket launchers. The rocket thrusters and some of the boxes that were braving the cold were carried out of a tightly covered compartment by his guards, and even Yang Lin himself was in a state of shock when he saw those things.

"The defense was good. But the speed of the Turkic cavalry was very fast, and they found it difficult to break the formation, so they easily retreated, or surrounded us from a distance and did not attack, trapping us here, Commander-in-Chief, should we think of other ways? ”

Mu Keduo is the original general of King Yingji, and the other two king's subordinate generals are the same as Lishi and Qishan, and now they are appointed by Yanglin as the capital to follow Yanglin to fight beside him, in their opinion, the Tubo cavalry will definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the war elephants, as long as the war elephants are used to disrupt the cavalry formation of the Tubo people, they can win lightly, but how do they know that the Tubo cavalry never needs any fixed formation to fight, as long as they find themselves running faster than you, you have almost no way to live, It will not be like the battle of the seven grass kings of Jiaozhi, one side of the formation is scattered, and there will be a situation of breaking up and fleeing for their lives immediately.

"Look, in my eyes, the life of every soldier and war elephant is very precious, and if I can win this battle without the dead, I will not allow the situation of the dead to happen." Yang Lin glanced at Mu Keduo with some approval, assembled three launchers with the help of Scorpion and others, and after conducting test firing one by one, he clapped his hands, climbed on the back of the tallest elephant, and used binoculars to check the movements of the Tubo cavalry.

"Boom"

The sound of 30,000 horsemen rushing forward is much more terrifying than that of 800 elephants, but Yanglin, who has seen 100,000 horsemen in the battle of Weishui, has not been frightened by the posture of Tubo.

"Hahaha, the cowardly Tang people think that hiding behind the war elephants can resist my Tibetan iron cavalry, general, and watch me tear them to pieces, take their war elephants and carry grain for my Tibet."

He is the strongest warrior in the Tubo country, the barren Tubo can rank second in the world in the early Tang Dynasty, it is because there are many warriors like him in the Tubo army who can tear the tiger and leopard alive, the Tang army light cavalry dares to fight against the Turkic cavalry with the same number, but never dared to fight the Tubo cavalry with the same number, the war horses they sit on are taller than the Turks, their bodies are stronger than the Turks, the Tubo of this period is the product of the mixed blood of the Han and the Middle Easterners, The skin is dark and yellow, the body is taller than the Han and Middle Easterners, and the strength of the body directly determines the strength of the body, and in terms of the strength of the strong charge, they are better than other Asian peoples.

"Don't despise the Tang army, the letter from Prime Minister Lu Dongzan to me once mentioned that today's Han people are no longer the lambs of the past, they defeated the Turks in Weishui, obtained their war horses, and only two years have their own expeditionary cavalry troops, the cavalry of the Tang army has appeared in Shuzhong and the wasteland, although there are not many of them, but they can restrain our army to the death, it is because we can't cross the border to their territory to plunder, this place has become so important, I think, since they dare to plot here, The power in our hands should be enough to fight us. Dove, I will allocate 5,000 cavalry to you, and send 3,000 on the left and right flanks to respond, you try to charge me against the Tang army's battle formation, if the casualties are too great, withdraw it! Although they can resist the enemy in such a battle formation, they also trap themselves here, we just need to surround them from a distance and slowly chop them to pieces. ”

Lu Dongzan is smart, the people he uses are not garbage, Litu is a rare wise general among the Tubo people, and he can see the shortcomings of the Tang army's defensive array at a glance, and the Turks don't even have to force a confrontation with it, they only need to send light cavalry to shoot the Tang army's main formation with rounds of arrows, and they can kill and injure the Tang army again and again.

"Order."

After a while, a cavalry team of thousands of people was assembled in front of the Chinese army in Litu, and got the flag signal from both sides, and the dove waved his horsewhip, and thousands of cavalry rushed towards the camp of the Tang army like a torrent.

"One hundred meters, fifty meters The target is about to enter the attack range, the white phosphorus bomb is thawed, the bomb is loaded, and the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 launchers are ready."

Yang Lin gave the order, and several leaders of the escort team began to get busy, Yang Lin himself was also the first time to use white phosphorus bombs to fight, and he was cautious in his heart, and all the people who were responsible for the control were his cronies. The Tibetan people are too strong, and their fearless psychology will make them extremely brave when fighting, so Yanglin must make them feel scared at the beginning, and only the army that knows how to be afraid will be more likely to be defeated.

Two miles of land is just a moment of time for a galloping horse on the plain, and perhaps the naked eye cannot see each other's faces clearly. But under the telescope, a qiē is so clear, the two armies are about to engage, but the commander still has to give any orders, there are many Jiaozhi soldiers whose faith in the Tang Army is not firm enough The palms and soles of their feet began to sweat profusely, and the other party rushed over was the cavalry of King Tony's subordinates who had been proud of the kings, at that time King Tony only had two thousand horsemen, but he was able to rank first among the seven kings, this is because he can be a little faster than others in Jiaozhi who is accustomed to a slow-paced life, and now, there are as many as 30,000 cavalry, It is more than ten times stronger than King Tony's most powerful period, and whether the Tang Army can defeat such a powerful combat force, everyone, including the Tang Army himself, is a little worried.

"Launch." Yang Lin gave the order again, and in an instant, three things with flames and smoke tails rose into the air, and the gunpowder used for propulsion was not smokeless gunpowder, so the soldiers could clearly see the whereabouts of the three things that were lifted into the air, and the officers at the battalion level raised their binoculars, which was a habit they developed after obtaining this novelty, as long as they looked at something far away, they would naturally touch their telescopes to their chests.

"Boom"

The sound of the explosion sounded nearly two miles away, Yang Lin had a mobile phone calculator to calculate and record the range and landing point of the rocket, the warhead would naturally explode perfectly in the position he wanted, a cloud of smoke exploded in the front team of the three Turkic cavalry, and immediately turned into a blue flame, the range of the flame was actually not large, only a few zhang square, but the cavalry who were charging kept rushing into the fire, they really couldn't stop the car, Yang Lin collected his telescope and continued to adjust the launch frame, the effect of this appetizer was already good, He couldn't see the scene of the living being burned to death in such a tragic way, and he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted, so it was better to defeat the enemy before he relented!
