Chapter 463: Victory
Chu Er was very nervous, his palms were slightly sweaty, so that the spear and shield in his hand were **. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn the evening, the Tibetans attacked, and instead of coming forward to support, he was assigned to work hard to improve the fortifications.
He didn't see the appearance of the Tubo soldiers when they attacked, but he heard many people say that the Tubo soldiers were like rainbows and had many people. Makes him nervous.
However, soon the speaker came, and everyone had dinner, and the speaker said that in history, the deeds of defeating the people with a small number of people, with less grams, are like the battle of fat water, Chibi (winning more with less, although it is a civil war. There is also a series of Cao Cao's exit from the plug, the big break of Karasuma, how Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, Wei Qing and Huo Quai's merits. There is also how Li Weigong used 3,000 light horsemen to break the Turkic deeds in the early years of the dynasty.
In addition to the early Tang Dynasty, Tianbao also had a series of countless deeds of the Tang Dynasty after the Great Destruction of Tibet. Use these deeds to illustrate how unbearable these Tibetan soldiers are, looking at their strong momentum, they are useless. Dirt chickens and dogs.
The reason why the Tubo people are so rampant is nothing more than An Lushan, a chaotic minister and thief, otherwise these Tubo people are not enough to fight.
Look at what the Tibetans are wearing, leather armor, and even cloth robes, and you have to have equipment, sell one for the three of them. The storyteller kept encouraging morale, 'Consider that you have been training hard all the time, several times more than the average soldier. They can all kill Tibet like dogs, let alone you. ’
After saying this, the people's morale soared, and their fear subsided a lot. Yes, these Tibetan people have nothing to do with it, and there is nothing to be afraid of. In the past, those trainings made them miserable, and I didn't believe that the Tubo people could compare with them.
Having said that, Chu Er was still nervous. After they had made some more lunches for tomorrow in the evening, as was customary, he became nervous when he was told that the Tibetans might attack the camp in the evening.
Suddenly, a hand slapped on his shoulder, and he turned his head to see that it was the captain, "You are afraid of a ball, the Tubo people are here to deliver food, look at you like a bear." ’
But, captain, there are a lot of them. ''What's the use of having more people, 10,000 pigs are more than us, and you are afraid of pigs.'' The captain disdained, and then kicked him on the buttocks, "Take it easy for me, otherwise when the Tubo people don't beat you to death, I will practice you to death when I go back and practice." ’
It's so strange that Chu Er is not nervous. It's a pity that he is not a descendant, otherwise he would have doubted whether he was M or not, how could he not be nervous when he was kicked twice by the captain.
Then they entered the tent to rest, Chu Er couldn't fall asleep, although he wasn't nervous, but thinking of the night attack, he could sleep, and that nerve was really big enough. Still, he rested for a while and lay down for a while. I don't know how long it took to hear the horn of the enemy's attack.
Instinctively, Chu Er grabbed the weapon with his backhand and jumped up. He has been training for a long time, and they won't take their weapons off even if they are sleeping, and today he didn't even take off his armor, so it's no wonder he can't sleep well.
Not only him, but the entire camp jumped up reflexively, fortunately, the camp was high enough, otherwise this jump alone would have overturned the camp tent.
After jumping, their first reaction was not to pull out their weapons and kill, but to be on guard, those with shields raised their shields, and those without shields gathered together with shields.
They will be trained in this way, mainly because they are afraid that if they are really attacked by the night one day, they will be killed together and kill all sides without knowing the situation, and as a result, after the fact, the dead people will be killed by their own people more than by the enemy, and it will be a tragedy. When the time comes, even if the enemy dies, he will probably die laughing.
When they came to their senses, they rushed out under the leadership of the captain and began to defend their positions. Only then did they see that many of the antlers had been removed from the camp and that the outer trench had been partially filled.
They fished close to the earthen wall, and used their shields as tall as men to block behind the wall, forming another wall, a wall of metal. It is even much higher than the earthen wall, completely blocking people from behind. Behind them, there are crossbowmen.
They bulldozed the tents that had been close to the earthen wall, lined up in two columns, and began to shoot continuously, at first because of the speed and proximity, so that no one could notice that these were strong crossbows. Shang Xijie also sent follow-up support.
But when they had destroyed the enemy in front of the earthen wall, and began to stretch back, things changed, and Shang Xijie's eyes were about to pop out, and he now regretted that in the evening, he should have made a tentative attack first.
I saw that a platoon of 1,000 Tubo cavalry, lined up in a horizontal column, rushed towards the Tang army camp that had been torn apart.
The iron hooves were like thunder, and the four hooves of the war horses were trampled on the ground, like thunder in the sky, shocking people's hearts, and four thousand hooves hit the earth hard, carrying the killing intent, and launched an impact on the Tang army. It is even more amazing than the previous third wave, because these war horses are all selected good horses.
The first three waves were different, and the fourth wave was originally going to charge. The third wave also had to destroy the earthen wall, so although the equipment was all leather armor, it could be regarded as light.
And the fourth wave is completely expected to rush into the Tang army camp and start a killing spree, so the men and horses are all wearing heavy armor, specially made leather armor, and set two layers, although it is inconvenient, but the defense is not lost to metal armor. In addition, he rode a tall horse, and the power was even more amazing.
The same is true of the fifth wave, two waves of armored cavalry, like a grim reaper, rushed towards the Tang army camp, Shang Xiknot, and is also ready to send the sixth and seventh waves of soldiers and horses, the seventh wave of the same armored cavalry, and the sixth wave, he intends to send, archers, to reach the covering cavalry attack.
These are the most elite troops he has at his disposal. Only under the four garrisons that are afraid of heat in the defense theory. (The Praetorian Guard, which was supposed to be the Zanpude Guard, was the only standing soldier in Tibet, and it was considered a sneak in terms of fear of heat.) )
As a result, the impact of the situation made him fall through the glasses, if there were any in this era. The Tang army's crossbow arrows were like meteors at night, reflecting a little moonlight, and fell on the Tubo cavalry. They had heavy armor on their bodies, and they couldn't defend themselves against such crossbow arrows, and those who were hit by the arrows fell off their horses one after another.
This was originally expected by Shang Xijie, the Tang crossbow was sharp, he knew it, but even if it was an infantry, at most three rounds, it would rush to the Tang army, and the strong crossbow was too slow to wind.
And the cavalry, even less needed, will rush in front of the Tang army in one round, and when the time comes, if the Tang army does not collapse, it will be a massacre.
This general of the Tang Army, like Xinding'a, relied on a low earthen wall and two rows of shield walls, just trying to block the impact of armored cavalry? In the past, the generals of the Tang Army, in the face of such an impact, would first send Mo Daomen to step forward to defeat the might of the heavy cavalry, and then supplement it with a strong crossbow. If it really doesn't work, it will retreat to the defense.
But this batch of Tang Army, you don't have a strange knife hand, you can also send spears. It's ridiculous to hold the position stupidly, even if there is an earthen wall and a shield wall behind it, it won't be able to stop it for long. Maybe the fourth wave will suffer heavy losses under bow and crossbow shooting, but the next two waves will definitely be able to break through the Tang army.
However, something that immediately surprised him happened, these 5,000 people won the Tang Army, and a metal shield wall composed of 1,000 people was formed in front of them, two rows. There were only 3,000 people behind. But there are too many crossbows.
According to his understanding of the Tang Army, in this batch of Tang Army, the proportion of strong crossbows is about hundreds. The baggage should be about 500 to 1,000 men, which is in line with what they had observed, and after their arrival, there were probably 1,000 men left before they came forward, and they were busy camping. Although the first 4,000 people are all wearing armor, and the crossbowmen should not be armored, this proportion should not be too high.
However, what is the situation now, it is dense with arrows, it shoots fast and urgently, it is so far away, and it is so strong that it has the ability to break armor, it is a crossbow, yes, but the rate of fire and density of this crossbow are too high. The speed is comparable to that of a bow and arrow.
However, the bow and arrow did not have such a high range, and the Tang army had a bow and arrow, even if it had to shoot through the armored cavalry, it would be within thirty paces. Just when he was stunned, the mounted cavalry of Tubo fell down one after another. These hundreds of steps became their final death charge.
In fact, in order to maintain the horse's strength, they did not launch an attack at first, but only walked slowly. As a result, it was hit intensively.
The dense blows caught these elite soldiers off guard, although they had the intention of taking two waves of crossbow arrows, but the Tang Army's crossbow arrows were not so dense and so fast before.
At that moment, they panicked, and everyone began to speed up, to rush to the front of the Tang army as soon as possible, the horsepower was too much to care about, so let's find his brother Louie.
Well, they all started talking nonsense in a panic, who knows what Louie was, as if something strange had run in.
It's just that their charge, the last time in their lives to launch a dying struggle, is also in vain, they are in vain, the closer they are, the more accurate this arrow is, the fourth wave of death, finally, the fifth wave rushed closer to the Tang army.
Closer, closer, the eyes of the Tubo soldiers flashed with revenge, murderous intent, and hatred, and there were too many meanings to look at, and they wanted to resist the casualties and rush into the Tang army to fight. However, at this time, groups of war horses neighed and fell.
They were already slow, and they were carved out, and they got dirt roads over the trenches, and the range was limited, and the corpses of people and horses fell to the ground, blocking the road, which had slowed down their speed. But many more fell, further hindering the charge.
'It's a pity. In the darkness, the horn of Tibet's retreat sounded. Xiaohu secretly shouted that it was a pity, why didn't this Tubo commander send more people to die, and in vain he deliberately gave them a way.
'Huh. Li Chengyi smiled, "Brother Hu, you are greedy, as long as he is not stupid, it is right to retreat, after all, they still have reinforcements behind them." ’
That's right, Xiaohu and they deliberately made a slack defense to lure the Tubo people to attack. However, if it is too slack, it will also make the Tibetan people suspicious. So there's still some defensiveness.
However, the purpose of these defenses was not only to pretend, but also to slightly limit the offensive routes that the Tibetans could attack.
By using strong crossbows to get accurate, shoot some of them dead, fill in the trenches, and pull away the antlers to get the Tibetan soldiers, so that they can attack in a limited range.
In this way, the crossbow bolt can exert a greater effect, hitting intensively. And the enemy is not only limited in the direction of attack, but also because of the corpses on the ground, which leads to the disadvantage of the attacker. If it is infantry, it may be possible to overcome these obstacles on the feet.
And what about the cavalry? Speed is their biggest dependence, and if they lose speed, they are simply slaughtered by others. By the time you get closer, you'll be almost dead. So Shang Xijie had to retreat. You can't go down like this.
It's late, though. The first and second waves received some blows, but they were able to sustain some damage, and after the third wave of cavalry, they were almost completely killed and wounded. Only the back quasi-back stepped forward to support a few waves and retreated.
Shang Xijie could hardly believe it, but in just one hour, he lost more than 2,000 soldiers and horses. Well? You said that it should be more than 3,000, forgive the Tubo people for their bad arithmetic, not to mention that he was too shocked.
'Win! When the enemy retreated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they had won. Chu Er loosened his stiffness and succeeded, just now he and the captain were at the front, but they never engaged, only a small number of enemies approached, but they were not in his area.
Now that he had won, he was deflated, and that sense of urgency disappeared, almost making him lose his strength. But for a long time, good training, or honing, didn't let him sit down right away.
really won, he raised his eyes to the sky, it turned out that he seemed to be an invincible and strong enemy, and he couldn't even take a face. Thinking of the hard training in the past, practicing every day, morning and evening, cold and summer, it seems that everything has paid off. Looking at the Tibetan people in front of them who were either dead or seriously injured and could not afford to be injured, thinking of the people who were rescued by them, his body was suddenly full of strength, and we can rely on us to save this country.
The enemy retreated cleanly, and Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time regretted that their cavalry was not enough. In the heyday of the Tang Army, an army of 20,000 people, cavalry should be between 5,000 and 6,000. However, they only had a small number, and a thousand people were able to get through the cheek tribe, which was still incorporated after the battle of Victoria.
If they have more cavalry, they can now rush out and take advantage of the enemy's weakness to deliver a head-on attack. It's a pity they didn't.
Although the whole army has horses, neither riding skills nor horses can be put on the stage. They were just infantry who could ride horses. Real cavalry, it is not easy to train.
Therefore, it is necessary to devise a plan to lure the enemy. Try to lure them over, and then give them a head-on blow, otherwise, the other party will run around and consume them to death.
Now, it seems to be quite successful. Although there were only cavalry. But officially because of the cavalry, so it's just right. It can not only fight the fear of heat, but also force the other party to attack with the whole army.
Now, just wait for the fear of fever to come. However, they have prepared a big meal for the fear of heat, and they haven't finished it yet, and now it's just a few snacks.
Waiting, Xiaohu and the Shence army all have a desire for revenge at this moment. Just wait for the fear of heat to come and send him to death. Before that happens, though, let's clean up the battlefield first. (To be continued.) )
