Chapter 374: The Power of the Javelin
Kawangdui saw the tragic situation of the Tubo soldiers and war horses who fell to the ground in front of him and almost fell off their horses in fright, and the fifty Tubo soldiers behind him were no better.
The continuous strafing of eight heavy machine guns almost knocked the Tubo cavalry in the front row into a sieve, blood flowed all over the ground, the heavy machine guns were powerful, and some of the unlucky ghosts who were swept by more than a dozen bullets were already in tatters and miserable.
Kawangdui hesitated, but the Dorjee Sambutan in the rear was impatient, took the spear in the hand of a pikeman next to him and threw it forward, the spear flew straight forward like a shock, and with a "poof" sound, it was inserted into a corpse in front of Kawangdui, penetrating the corpse and nailing it deeply to the ground, and the end of the spear was still trembling.
Kawangdui suddenly became desperate, he knew that this was Dorjee Sambutan warning him.
Zhang Cheng, who was observing the movement of Tubo with a telescope on the wall of the pass pass, was also startled by the javelin of Dorjee Sambutan, the distance between the Tubo army and Kawangdui was no less than two miles, and the siege crossbow was far from such a distance! It's almost as far as the range of a heavy machine gun!
I hope there aren't too many strange people like him in the Tibetan army. Zhang Cheng sighed secretly.
Afraid of another javelin flying behind him, Kawangdui had no choice but to cry and ride his horse slowly forward, nearly two hundred meters away, the ground was full of the broken corpses of Tibetan soldiers and war horses.
Walking through the corpse area tremblingly, the Tang army in front of him didn't seem to have any movement, Kawangdui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the gods heard his prayer, so Tang Jun didn't notice him.
Naturally, the defenders on the walls would not fail to see them. It's just that at such a distance, they don't have a problem with them, except for machine guns. And the machine gun was the secret weapon used to suppress the Tibetan army. It could not be wasted on such a small wave of cavalry.
Seeing that the Tang army did not react, the fifty Tubo soldiers who followed behind Kawangdui gradually became emboldened, and they even wanted to continue to step forward to test it, which scared Kawangdui into a cold sweat.
In his opinion, because this place is far away from the Tang Army Pass, the other party did not notice that he was such a person, so he did not use demon magic, and it would be dangerous to go further to attract the attention of the Tang Army, but these fifty soldiers were all warriors who were not afraid of death specially selected by Dorjee Sambutan, and in order to complete the test task, they simply ignored Kawangdui's pleas to retreat.
Ding Xiao'an, who was observing the movements of the cavalry of the Tubo squad through the scope on the machine gun, saw that they still dared to move forward, and said coldly: "These Tubo barbarians are really not afraid of death, if it weren't for the explanation of the Hou Ye, I really want to give them a few shots!" ”
Zhang Cheng was naturally not happy that the Tubo cavalry was so "arrogant". Thinking of the javelin thrown by Dorjee Sambutan, his eyes lit up, and he turned his head to the iron egg next to him and asked, "Iron egg, can you throw the spear that far?" ”
This place is only about two miles away from the Tubo cavalry squad, Tie Dan nodded when he heard this, Zhang Cheng was overjoyed, and ordered the soldiers to take a dozen spears and signal Tie Dan to give a few javelins to the arrogant Tubo cavalry squad.
This is not a difficult thing for Tie Dan, he picked up a spear and waved his hand and threw it forward, and the spear more than two meters long flew out like an arrow from the string, nailing it to the side of the Tubo cavalry squad, and the soldiers defending the city on the city wall suddenly let out an exclamation. Apparently shocked by the divine power of the iron egg.
Although this javelin did not hit anyone, it really startled the group of arrogant Tibetan cavalry, and Kawangdui was even more trembling on his horse. Walking forward to face the javelin of the Tang Army, and going back to face the javelin of Dorjee Sambutan, he really wanted to cry......
Seeing that the iron egg shot a javelin to attract everyone's amazement and worship, the cow on the side was not to be outdone, and also took a spear and threw it forward, maybe it was a blessing, or maybe it was blind, this javelin was impartial and straight to a war horse of the Tubo cavalry squad, the spear suddenly penetrated the body and nailed the war horse to the ground, and the frightened soul of the Tubo soldiers on the horse fell to the ground for a long time without coming back to his senses.
A burst of cheers erupted on the city wall, Niu Da raised his head triumphantly towards Tie Dan, and the two of them seemed to be competing, and they threw the spears around them forward, and the dozen or so spears that Zhang Cheng let people bring were all thrown by the two of them in a blink of an eye, and the two of them seemed to be a little unfinished.
More than a dozen spears failed to shoot a target, but the Tubo cavalry was scared, and they no longer looked like they were dead, and they turned their horses' heads and galloped back, and the Tubo soldiers who had no horses even ran back desperately while shouting.
Fortunately, this time Dorjee Sambutan did not use javelins to drive them away, and he also saw the javelins shot down from the Lingnan city wall, and his face became ugly.
When the Tibetan cavalry came back with a disgraced face, Dorjee Sambutan asked in a cold voice towards Kawangdui: "Have you seen clearly what our Tibetan warriors were killed?" ”
Kawangdui had already been frightened by the dozen javelins thrown by the iron egg and the bull, where did he know how to answer, besides, he only saw the Tubo soldiers and war horses in front of him die tragically, but he couldn't see that he was killed by something at all, and he was even more convinced that it was the magic used by the Tang army.
Seeing Kawangdui's cowardly and incompetent appearance, Dorjee Sambutan glanced at him with disdain, and looked at another Tibetan cavalryman, although his face was also a little pale, but it was much better than Kawangdui, and he thought for a while and said: "I saw that those corpses had many small holes the thickness of fingers, as if they had been pierced by sharp arrows. ”
Dorjee Sambutan frowned, when the Tubo army was attacked, he didn't see the Tang army shoot sharp arrows at all, and it was impossible for the bow and arrow to shoot such a long distance, even if his own divine power was amazing, there was no such strong bow that could withstand such a big pull.
I asked the other soldiers, and they all said the same. Dorjee Sambutan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he didn't know how the lost Tubo soldiers and horses died, and he didn't dare to attack easily, so he muttered for a moment and said, "You go and retrieve the corpses of a few Tubo warriors." ”
After hearing his words, the Tubo soldiers who had just fled back were all pale, and Kawangdui was even more reluctant to go back.
"What are you afraid of, the Tang Army's powerful methods must be limited and cannot be used easily, so just now they chose to throw the spear from the city wall, it is difficult to shoot the spear at such a distance, and there will not be much danger."
Dorjee Sambutan's speculation is very reasonable, but the people who have just experienced the escape of death do not have the courage to go through it again, and in the end, under the pressure of the military order, only a dozen or so Tibetan soldiers who are not afraid of death go to this dangerous task.
