Chapter 277: Bloody Battle to the Death
Big Tent. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Tubo Xianglu Dongzan, looked at the generals with a gloomy face, and said in a low voice, "You, do you know what kind of person this Tang army leader is?" ”
A general stepped out of the column and crossed his chest left and right, bowed and said, "Lord Xiangye, it is said to be General An and An Zhonglang of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"It's him, and he really lives up to his name. Ladies and gentlemen, the Tang Army saw that our defense was solid, and deliberately harassed our army in this way, trying to make our army take the initiative to give up the defensive position and attack, and then the Tang Army would wait for work again! Lu Dongzan sighed, "Originally, our army didn't have to pay attention to it, but now, Longzhou has been occupied by a surprise attack by a Tang army, and the road of grain and grass for our army has been cut off.......
"Therefore, knowing that it is a plan, we also have to fight to the death, put it to death and survive, as long as the main force of the Tang Army is eliminated, this Tang Dynasty will be at our fingertips." Lu Dongzan pondered for a while, Huo Ran stood up, "Pass on the order of the prime minister, assemble the whole army, and launch a general attack on the Tang army." Whoever bravely kills the enemy will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold, 10 slaves, and those who cower and retreat will be killed! ”
A desolate sound of bull horns sounded from the Tujiang camp, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves suddenly rose, and the dust in the sky flew up, forming a gray-black "mushroom cloud" over the Tubo camp.
An He smiled coldly, "I really can't stand it." Wei Chi followed Yu, passed on the handsome order, and Jin Ti immediately pulled out the camp and prepared to retreat. Remember, the formation must not be chaotic, and our army is taking the initiative to retreat to lure the enemy into depth, rather than fleeing. I've got that in mind. Anyone who does not follow the commander's orders will be beheaded! ”
Wei Chi Xunyu waved the flag, and the war drums sounded. The Tang army quickly mounted their horses and lined up for duty.
The deafening sound of horses' hooves rushed over, and more than 100,000 Tibetans rushed over with wild horses. Closer, closer, An He could even clearly see the bloodthirsty and rough look on the face of the leading Tubo general, as well as the dazzling cold light emitted by the scimitar wielding in the sun, he smiled lightly, "Give Ben Shuai a retreat!" ”
The Tang army turned its horse's head, held high the banner, and quickly and methodically retreated, and the Tubo people chased after it, and the Tang army withdrew, keeping a distance of several miles. Seeing that he had withdrawn for a hundred miles, and the Longye Plain in front of Longzhou was already in front of him, An He stopped his horse's head, looked up at the sunny sun that was slightly falling westward, and with a wave of his hand, 100,000 Tang troops suddenly stopped their horse's head and kicked off the smoke and dust that turned the sky.
"Wei Chi Xunyu, you lead people to rush back from the two sides, the pioneer battalion, rush back with the commander, and fight to the death with the Tubo people!" An He raised his spear and roared, "Soldiers, the time has come to defend the country, raise our spears, use our blood to cut off the heads of the Tubo people, and avenge countless Tang people!" ”
"Fight to the death with the Tibetans!" 100,000 people roared together, and the sound was like thunder.
"Rush!" An and spear pointed in the direction where the spit man was coming, and half of the horse rushed away. Behind him, Wei Chi Xunyu and another general each led tens of thousands of people to fight back from the two sides, while the 5,000 people of the Shenji Battalion followed closely behind An He's horse.
The reason why Anhe let the Tang army retreat for 100 miles was to consume the fighting spirit and physical strength of the Tubo army through long-distance pursuit, and second, to transfer the battlefield to this Longyuan area, which was conducive to the Tang army's combat familiar with the terrain.
In the gallop, the smoke and dust whistled, and An and the horse rushed into the Tuxuan army, with a long spear, and a Tubo cavalry was picked off the horse. In an instant, he was trampled into a pulp. A Tibetan cavalryman slashed diagonally with a steel sword, and An He leaned back. The spear struck at a snap, and the tip of the spear slid down his throat in an instant.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the Tibetan cavalry screamed and drowned in the bloody mud of the chaotic army.
The Tubo cavalry rushed forward in a hurry, and suddenly the vanguard met the counterattack of the Tang army, and the follow-up troops could not stop the momentum, and the whole formation was in chaos, and countless of their own people knocked over and trampled on their own people. But the Tibetan cavalry deserves to be a battlefield army that can be recruited on the plateau. The horseback nation is far superior to the Han people's riding skills. Soon, under the command of the generals, Tubo immediately stabilized the formation and divided into two ways to meet Wei Chi Xunyu and the other Tang troops who were attacking both sides along the way. The rest. Under the leadership of a majestic man, a team of Anhe greeted.
Scrimmage! Bloody battle! If it weren't for the color of the armor and uniform, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between friend and foe. The shouts of killing shook the sky. Blood was surging, and the air was filled with a strong murderous and bloody aura!
The horse's head sprinted, several Tibetan soldiers with hideous faces rushed to Anhe, the sword was shining, several knives were intertwined and waved together, Anhe's body shook, shook off the stirrup, slightly borrowed, and rose from the horseback, the spear in his hand slid an arc in mid-air, and the sharp tip of the spear pierced the throat of one of the Tibetan cavalrymen like lightning, his arm was withdrawn, the spear belt and blood light were drawn out and whistled towards the other Tubo cavalry leaning forward, the tip of the spear entered from the front chest, and the back chest came out.
An He fell back on the horse, his legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, the war horse retreated sharply, and the tip of the spear slashed out from the chest cavity of the Tibetan cavalry, hooking out a ball of red flesh. The Tibetan cavalry was nauseated, and was stabbed in the belly of the horse by An He in a trance, the horse neighed in pain, and the front hooves were raised, and the Tubo cavalry fell to the ground. The horse's hooves instantly trampled two deep blood bolts on his body, and before he could even scream, his consciousness turned into a wisp of blood and dissipated.
Not far away, a Tibetan general scolded angrily, took an arrow and drew a bow, and a feather feather flew out, poof! Ann was caught off guard and was shot slightly above the left armpit. The red blood flowed down the armor, the piercing pain made his body tremble, and next to him, the Tubo cavalry roared and rushed up, An He bit his teeth, grabbed the tail of the arrow with his right hand, and pulled out the feather feather that was almost submerged in the bone crack, blood spurted out, An He screamed, his body shook suddenly, and he almost fell under the horse.
Looking at the wild face of the Tubo cavalry who rushed up viciously, An He let out a long roar, and the bloody feather in his hand flew out with a whistling and penetrated through the left eyeball of the Tubo cavalry.
From the afternoon to the sunset, the Tang army annihilated more than 60,000 Tubo cavalry at the tragic price of dead and wounded and more than 10,000 people, and the remaining Tubo cavalry fled in the direction of Yuanzhou. Within a radius of several miles, by the streams, on the meadows, and at the foot of the mountains, there were everywhere the corpses of horses or people lying on the ground, and countless spears or steel knives were stuck in the corpses and in the bellies of horses, and the messy banners fell to the ground. Bloodstains are everywhere, corpses are everywhere, and it is probably such a tragic scene!
The Tang Army, whose morale was still undiminished after the victory, lined up on the Longyuan after the war, bathed in this bloody tragedy.
An He had become a bloody man, with blood stains on his face, armor, and even his horse. He slowly rode over with his spear horizontally, turned his horse's head, and stared at the more than 80,000 cavalrymen in front of him. Of course, Sergeant Tang didn't look much better than him.
