Chapter 137: A Difficult Defensive Battle
Chocolate is a rare brave general in the Tubo army, before leading the troops to Tuguhun, it can really be said that he is invincible, and has won the reputation of "sharp axe" for himself, but today this sharp axe has been rolled up, facing the tightly defended Tang army camp, like a dog gnawing hedgehog can not be mouthed.
"First ittle, then crossbow arrows, then bows and arrows, Tang Man, is there any end to this?" Chocolate was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but there was no way to jump his feet, and he could only honestly urge the soldiers to move on.
But Chocolate didn't expect that the Tang Army's methods were not finished, and he had not advanced a few steps, when he suddenly heard a dense sound of breaking the air, and he raised his eyes and found that it was a spear, and his complexion couldn't help but change greatly.
Because relatively speaking, although the range of the spear is short, its lethality is incomparable to that of the bow and arrow, and it may even penetrate one or two people, and there will be a situation where a spear nails two or even three people.
Especially the Tibetan army, because they wore light armor, was even more afraid of this kind of powerful spear.
So, almost at the same time as the color of the chocolate changed, the soldiers not far away cried out in horror: "Long, spearmen......"
With the sound of a terrible scream, as the robes around him were strung together, the last bit of courage of the Tibetan soldiers to fight was completely dissipated, and at this time, they no longer ignored the shouts of chocolates and began to prepare to retreat.
And at this moment, the sound of shouting and killing was suddenly heard, and the Tubo soldiers looked in the direction where the shouting and killing sound came from, and found that it was the soldiers of the Tang Army who had killed from both wings.
Before the soldiers of Tibet could react, they saw that the soldiers of the Tang army were like tigers descending from the mountain, cutting the team that was about to break up into three sections, and then launched a crazy massacre against them.
"Bold and barbaric, dare to rush our army! Accept the fate. Seeing that the soldiers were scattered, but he was still delusional about turning the tide, he saw a member of the Tang generals slaughtering his soldiers, and immediately rushed forward on horseback, trying to make meritorious contributions and reverse the decline.
Confident in his bravery, he swung his long-handled copper hammer and slammed it at the Tang general, and he was so satisfied with his speed and strength that he felt that he would definitely kill the enemy on the spot, or at least seriously injure him.
And when his long-handled copper hammer approached the opponent's top door, he believed this even more, because that Tang general seemed to be a little unclear-headed, and he didn't even know how to dodge.
But I didn't expect that at this moment, the Tang general unbelievably dodged sideways, and at the same time stabbed out the horse lance in his hand like a lightning storm, fortunately, the chocolate was blessed to the heart, desperately dodging, and this was able to avoid this fatal blow, but after all, the chocolate dodged in a hurry, and the opponent's horse lance still stabbed his left shoulder.
There was only a soft pop, and Chocolate immediately felt a stream of heat wrap around his shoulder, followed by a pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and Chocolate looked down and found that he had been dyed into a bloody man, and in an instant he dared to lose his strength, and he could barely hold the long-handled copper hammer.
How did Chocolate know that what he met this time was Zhang Wei, the strongest guard in Li Xian's mansion, it is said that this person's marksmanship has reached Li Xian's sixty percent fire, with Chocolate's Taoism, if you want to compete with him in martial arts, it is too much to do.
And at this time, Zhang Wu, another general in the Tang military camp, rushed over, waved the horizontal knife in his hand and slashed off the wolf's head of the chocolate, and then shouted loudly: "The main general is dead, you can surrender as soon as possible, you can avoid death, otherwise, this is the fate of you." ”
As Zhang Wu's voice fell, dozens of people around him shouted at the same time: "The Tubo Lord is about to die, the Tubo Lord is going to die, you can surrender as soon as possible, you can avoid death." ”
The Tibetan soldiers had already lost their will to fight, and when they heard that the main general was killed, they naturally lost their fighting spirit, and they were panicked like a lost dog, and the team suddenly collapsed.
Zanpo, who was guarding not far behind, saw his defeat, and couldn't help but be furious: "Chocolate is really a waste, it was defeated like this, Altai, Zig, Huswin, Manggu, etc. are known as the four tigers, today I will send these four tigers to fight together, a total of 20,000 people, if you still can't capture this front village, I will let the four people become four dogs, four dead dogs." ”
"The general can rest assured that the chocolate guy only knows how to use brute force, and it is okay to deal with those Tuyuhun people, but it is much worse to deal with the cunning Tang Man, and the four of us are known as the Four Tigers, not only because of their bravery, but also because the tigers are also cunning, this attack will definitely capture the front village of the Tang Army."
Altai, the first tiger in the "Four Tigers", smiled and said confidently.
Then the "Four Tigers" ordered all the officers and men under their command, and a full 20,000 people immediately rushed towards the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army who were fighting bravely.
Altai and the others were vigorous this time, and they were ready to annihilate the Tang soldiers who walked out of the walled gate in one go, and eliminate the living force of the Tang army, so that it would be much easier to attack the city in the future.
But they didn't expect that when they were about to approach the Tang army's soldiers, they heard the sound of Mingjin coming from the back of the Tang army, and then they saw the Tang army's soldiers retreating like a tide, and they walked away cleanly in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Altai and the others couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and they felt that a punch was punched out, as if it had hit cotton.
However, this depression only disappeared in an instant, because they had a further goal, that is, to capture the Tang army's camp and slaughter the Tang army.
"Kill!" Altai and the others roared again and again, leading the army to attack fearlessly.
What they faced next was still crazy bows and spears, although these bows and spears were still fierce, but after all, the number of people they commanded was 20,000, four times the number of the previous chocolate army, so a small loss was still completely bearable for them.
So this army was still very close, and soon approached the camp of the Tang army.
At this time, the Tang army seemed to have no strength, and they no longer shot arrows or threw spears, and there was an eerie silence.
The Tibetan soldiers didn't care about this, and continued to run forward, but not far away, suddenly heard a scream, although it was daytime, but the sound was no less terrible than a ghost in the middle of the night, which was terrifying.
In fact, the soldiers in the back row didn't know what was going on at all, but the more they didn't know, the more frightened they became.
The soldiers in the front row understood that not far from their feet, there was a deep horse pit, and the pit was also full of thistles, antlers, bamboo sticks, sharpened branches and other things, as long as they fell, they would immediately be stabbed or even killed by those sharp things, and some were not dead for a while, and the terrible screams made the soldiers behind even more frightened.
But the problem now is that although the soldiers in the front row understand the danger and are naturally reluctant to move forward, they are surrounded by the soldiers in the back row and move forward, many of them are pushed or squeezed into the trap pit, and bear the same pain as the soldiers who have fallen into the pit in front of them.
And the thing is not only that, just when the formation of the Tubo soldiers became a little scattered because of the trap in the horse pit, suddenly the sound of breaking the air came, it turned out to be the Tang army camp in the bow and crossbow fire, they once again suffered from the crossbow arrows, and the screams were endless.
"Withdraw, withdraw ......" saw that the 20,000 army was killed and wounded more than 5,000, and even Altai was lost and shot, fortunately the injuries were not serious, but the soldiers who could fight were getting fewer and fewer, and the morale was extremely low.
"Waste, 20,000 people have announced a small front village, what do you say I raise you? Come on, drag me out and cut them all, and cut them all. Seeing that the "Four Tigers" had become the "Four Dogs" - the four lost dogs, Zanpo couldn't help but be furious, and immediately ordered to drag out the four men and the chocolates that had been defeated before and cut them down, but fortunately, the generals interceded, which spared their lives.
"Hmph, it seems that this kind of small fight is not effective at all, in this case, our army will put out all the 200,000 troops tomorrow, surround his camp, and attack day and night, if the enemy army does not surrender, we can still pile up into a mountain of dirt, condescendingly release arrows into the village, see how long Tang Man can hold on?"
Zanpo is worthy of being a famous general in Tubo, and this countermeasure is indeed the best way at present, so, from the next day, the Tubo army will surround the entire camp, and then divide the soldiers into two groups, attacking day and night, in addition, the Tubo army is still piling up earth mountains, if they are allowed to build, they can not only condescendingly attack the camp, but also see the movement in the camp clearly, so that it is absolutely unfavorable for the defense of the camp.
Therefore, the Tang army is now in a very serious predicament, which is attacking day and night, which not only seriously damages the defense of the camp, but also makes the soldiers feel extremely tired, and the casualties have begun to increase.
If they are allowed to build a mountain of earth again, so that the movements of the Tang army are completely under their control, I am afraid that this kind of loss will be serious.
Therefore, the current Tang army urgently needs to get a precious respite, on the one hand, to step up the repair of the damaged defenses, on the other hand, so that the soldiers can get enough rest, and at the same time to find a way to slow down the progress of the enemy army to build the earth mountain.
But Zan Po is not stupid, and Tang Jun can't order them, how can Tubo obediently listen to Tang Jun's words.
However, Li Xian had a way, he summoned the generals overnight and had a secret discussion with them to implement a bold plan.
"Surrender? This, how is this possible? The king is a dignified son, his identity is so respected, and he has not insulted the prestige of the court by doing such a thing! A general listened to Li Xian's plan and immediately expressed strong opposition, Zhengse said. (To be continued.) )
