Chapter 35: Miracles and Great Turnarounds
Shang Jiezan frustrated and gathered the more than 2,000 Tubo cavalry scattered behind, he knew that the defeat of the 5,000 Tubo cavalry meant that the previous achievements were wasted and sacrificed in vain, and the 3,000 Tianstrategist crossbowmen could be rewound and placed the crossbow arrows.
There is no problem with the response on his side, according to Zhang Xiancheng's intelligence, who would have thought that these Tiance infantry, who were farmers and homeless people more than two years ago, would have such a strong psychological quality?
It's a miracle!
They and Zhang Xiancheng naturally did not think that in view of the fact that when they went out to the South China Sea, some Tiance soldiers were frightened by the momentum of the big pirates, and for more than a year, Xiao Qubing specially added courage and courage training to the combat training of the Tiance army, and had already honed the psychological quality of each Tiance soldier very strongly.
In the three months before the expedition to Nanzhao, almost every day the infantry had to carry out the drill of carrying the cavalry charge in front of the infantry, and there was no meat to eat if they lost.
When Shang Jiezan gathered the scattered cavalry and commanded the infantry to slowly press, the Tubo Dalun Enlan Dazarugong, who was in command of the Chinese army, decisively reinforced 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry to the left ~ flank of Tubo.
In the center of the battlefield, under the pressure of 8,000 Tibetan cavalry and 4,000 infantry, Li Sheng, who commanded the Tang army, had no choice but to suppress the reserve of 1,500 people, leaving only 500 infantry and a dozen personal guards and herald cavalry by his side.
But Rao is like this, the Tiance Chinese army was still firmly suppressed by the Tubo who was several times its size, and was almost smashed by the Tubo cavalry to break through the spear and shield soldiers in the front row and rush into the crossbow array.
Critical moment. Fifteen hundred infantry, reinforced in the rear, quickly rushed to the front regardless of the formation. A thousand porcelain bottles with specially formulated gasoline were thrown. There was a burning cloth strip on the mouth of the bottle, and the blazing flames blocked the attack of the Tibetan army.
Seeing that the offensive that was about to break through the middle was defused in an instant, Enlan Dazaru was so angry that he almost jumped up.
What made him even more angry was that on the other side, in the direction of the left ~ wing of the Tiance Army of the Tubo Army, 10,000 Tubo cavalry successfully circled the flank of the Tiance Army, and the cavalry in front could already attack the 40,000 barbarians behind.
These 40,000 barbarians did not have the light armor that the Tiance Army could ignore ordinary cavalry bows, and even at least half of them were unarmoured, just when these Tibetan cavalry drew their cavalry bows and wanted to sweep over the flanks of the barbarians to play mounted archery. The outermost eight-bull crossbow and catapult of the White Barbarian Formation were launched.
The crossbow spears like the eight bull crossbows and shovels suddenly shot out a bloody path in the Tubo cavalry, although because of the number, the killing and wounding were not too much, but this effect made people shudder.
And the catapult fired not round stones, but large clay pots, which fell to the ground or smashed on the hands of the Tibetan knights, all splashed a large area, and soon a large area was wet, and before these Tubo cavalry who entered the area of fierce fire oil reacted, several rockets flew out. Two or three thousand Tibetan cavalry immediately fell into a sea of fire.
Enlan Dazaru glared at Zhang Xiancheng beside him with a tearful eye, meaningful. The Tiance Army still has this kind of weapon, why don't you know?
Also, why hasn't Xiao Qu's illness yet flare-up?
At this moment, Zhang Xiancheng changed his previous demeanor and chic appearance of standing tall, but his face was sallow, and there was a little hunchback on his back. In fact, his heart was even more anxious than Enlan Dazarugong, and Ah Youduo said that by playing a specific tune on the insect flute, the Gu worm larvae in Xiao Xiao's sick brain could be activated, and it would attack in about a moment.
It's been a quarter and a half now, why hasn't Xiao Qu's illness yet flare-up, and he has fallen off the horse?
Didn't they fall for this poison? Or is he really a fairy physique? Or did his immortal master give him a dream again?
Rewind the time to more than two minutes, when Shang Jiezan rode 10,000 steps to meet the enemy, Xiao Qubing and the eight hundred Tiance cavalry on the right~ wing of the Tiance Army were about to reach the southern edge of the battlefield, Xiao Qubing turned his head and glanced at the large array of the Chinese army in Tubo.
In Tibet, almost all the troops around the general Enlan Dazarugon had been dispatched, and only about 4,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry remained.
The time was ripe, Xiao Qu was sick and shouted, the two phalanxes, the eight hundred Tiance light cavalry instantly changed direction, from due south to east, turning ninety degrees to due east to north.
And the five thousand Tibetan cavalry led by Na Nang Shangjie Si Xiuting did not turn so fast because of the larger number of people, and in a hurry, only a small number of people completed the turn, facing Xiao Qubing and the eight hundred Tiance cavalry head-on, and most of the Tubo cavalry were facing the Tiance cavalry with oblique sides.
Before, the two sides were racing to the south together, so the distance was not much closer after running for a long time, but now Tiance almost went directly to the middle and rear sections of the Tubo army, and the distance was rapidly shortened.
Then just before these Tubo cavalry could react, Xiao Qubing rushed into the interruption of the Tubo army first, and behind him, two cavalry phalanxes of 400 people, like two tight chisels, instantly chiseled into the loose and disorderly military formation of the Tubo army, and it was face to side, almost like hot soup melting snow, like a quick knife cutting cream, and the momentum broke through the formation, cutting off the 5,000 Tubo cavalry at once.
After running out forty or fifty paces, the eight hundred Tiance cavalry divided seven hundred and quickly turned around, ready to face the tail of the almost beaten Tubo cavalry again.
The remaining 100 cavalry followed Xiao Quai, and 30 guards turned due north towards the middle of the Tibetan army, and by this time, Enlan Dazarugon had already excluded 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry to reinforce Shang Jiezan's left ~ flank army.
Just when Enlan Dazarugong stared at Zhang Xiancheng with tears in his eyes, and Zhang Xiancheng was also puzzled, Xiao Quying had already returned from the battlefield in the south with one hundred and thirty cavalrymen, and at this moment he was less than four hundred steps away from Enlan Dazarugong.
With the exclamations of several guards around him, Enlan Dazarugong and Zhang Xiancheng finally found Xiao Quai, who was in the lead and rushed towards him on a single horse, as well as thirty guards who were more than twenty steps away from him, and one hundred Tiance light horses twenty steps away.
At this moment, Xiao Quai's distance from Enlan Dazarugon was close to three hundred steps.
Enlan Dazarugon reacted. Xiao Quai's tactical killer move turned out to be an all-out attack to divert his left flank. Chinese Army. After the reserve, he personally took his personal guards and a hundred cavalrymen to carry out a decapitation operation on himself!
I have heard Zhang Xiancheng say that the king of Lanling in the Tang Dynasty is a disciple of the gods, born with divine power, he has a nine-stone treasure bow, and he is a unique condor archer, and at this moment he has already taken down the giant bow on his back. Bend the bow and arrow, aim at the target, and it is yourself!
The nine-stone treasure bow, the peerless condor archer, with a distance of less than three hundred steps, will definitely not miss!
At this moment, it was as if the mind and soul of Enlan Dazarugon were frozen, he went to war at the age of fourteen, and began to lead the army to fight at the age of sixteen, and it has been nearly twenty years now. It can be described as a battle-hardened battle. There have been many hard battles, and he has always been comfortable coping with them.
Only this time, he suddenly felt a creepy fear, his pupils dilated infinitely, his heartbeat was almost bursting, he was sweating all over, and he wanted to dodge quickly, but he felt that his hands and feet did not obey the command at all, and he would not move.
At this moment, he saw Xiao Quzhi loosen the bowstring that had been drawn into a full moon.
Shout!
A carved arrow came like lightning, infinitely magnified in Enlan Dazarugon's eyes, at this moment Enlan Dazarugon thought of not hiding, but this Xiao Quai's illness is really calculating, not only can he train troops, but the tactics of leading troops to fight are crazy enough, and he is far from him......
Anyway, it would be nice to die at the hands of such a hero, Enlan Dazarugon thought, closing his eyes, and then he felt someone pull his arm, and his body began to fall, and then he felt a loud noise in his ears, and then the howling wind passed through his ears, and then his ears ached.
It's still alive......
After a moment of brushing shoulders with death, Enlan Dazarugon opened his eyes, and then found that he was still falling, and on the other side of the field of vision, the Tang God of War named Xiao Quai's illness once again mounted a carved arrow, pulling the nine-stone treasure bow to the full, aiming at himself.
And he was stuck in mid-air at the moment and couldn't make a move, there was no way to hide, just now it should have been Zhang Xiancheng who pulled himself when he was in a critical situation, so Xiao Quai's arrow escaped with his life, and the carved arrow flew almost close to his ear, only a fraction of a second, it was a miracle.
But this second arrow, I still have to die, there will be no more miracles!
But this time, he didn't want to close his eyes again, he bit the eagle arrow shot by Xiao Quzhi head-on, and flew into his body. At this moment, what he thought in his heart was that it was a pity that he thought that the hero of the world was born in the Tang Dynasty, the sworn enemy of Tubo; hateful Zhang Xiancheng swore a curse, saying that Xiao Qu's illness would definitely attack, and he was in pain, and he actually believed his nonsense......
Enlan Dazarugon thought so, and then fell heavily to the ground, as if there was still a person pressing, it should be Zhang Xiancheng. The guards and a thousand cavalry shouted in horror, but these people could not save themselves, and as soon as Xiao Quai's feather arrow was shot, he was doomed.
However, Enlan Dazarugon did not wait for Xiao Qu's feather arrow, and the moment he landed, he clearly saw Xiao Quai, who was riding on the incomparably white horse two hundred and fifty paces away, suddenly his face distorted, showing an extremely painful expression, and then he convulsed, and the eagle feather arrow shot into the sky, and then the hero of the world fell off the horse and flew out.
A miracle happened!
The Gu worm in his brain had an attack!
God bless Tibet, the biggest enemy of Tibet, is finally going to die!
At this moment, Enlan Dazarughan couldn't help but burst into tears, and couldn't help but quickly kneel down and thank the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
Also excited with tears in his eyes is Zhang Xiancheng, the terrifying opponent who made himself have demons, is finally going to die, and in the future, he can have thoughts again!
"Get out of here and kill him! Kill him! ”
The two shouted almost in unison, while dozens of Enlan Dazarugon's personal guards, as well as a thousand Tibetan cavalry on the right, were still a little stunned and unresponsive.
On the other side, the thirty guards and one hundred Tiance cavalrymen who were following Xiao Quai's eyes widened, looking at the faith in their hearts in disbelief, the invincible god of war of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly fell out without any warning, and then a heart-rending shout came.
"Grand Commander!"
"King Lanling!"
"Save the Grand Commander!"
"I fought with the Tibetan barbarians......
What everyone didn't expect was that the decisive battle between Tang and Tubo on the second day of August in the thirteenth year of Tianbao would suddenly take a big turn in such a way...... (To be continued.) )
