Chapter 0337: Stone Fort Victory
The Tang Army's Mo knife array marched like a wall, and the long Mo knife, or chopping or stabbing, wrestled the Tubo cavalry that rushed to the front into minced meat, and the bow and arrow array behind it, the strong crossbow array, and the wave after wave of arrow rain covered the sun like dark clouds, covering the surging Tubo cavalry.
Under this three-dimensional blow, the Tibetan cavalry fell one by one like wheat, suffering extremely heavy casualties and howling in grief. Such a tragic scene made the follow-up Tubo army stand on end, and their courage was lost.
Wang Zhonghe's back hand was more than that, but at this time, thousands of cavalry of the Tang army suddenly slaughtered from the valley on the side, hunting banners, shouts like thunder, horse's hooves like rain, and murderous aura like mountains!
The people who led these two cavalry were none other than Wang Zhonghe's two favorite generals, Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi. The cavalry led by the two of them was like two sharp knives, fiercely plunging into the ribs of the Tibetan army.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't a stab in the ribs for a good friend. But seeing that Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi were both in the lead, prancing horses like dragons, a large rain of arrows also rose in the Tubo army array, shooting towards the left flank.
The two Tang armies braved the rain of arrows, and although people continued to fall from their horses, the rest still rushed into the Tibetan army without fear of death.
Looking down from the stone castle city, the scene was like a huge wave rushing into the sand, and the panicked Tubo army array collapsed under the fierce impact of the Tang army. The two cavalry were unstoppable and continued to rush into the depth of the enemy formation, like two huge ploughs, and the Tubo army formation was ploughed and constantly rolled to both sides, and the figures were like waves, screaming like a tide.
All the war drums of the Tang Army were beating at this time, and the drums were earth-shattering, making people's blood boil, and all the soldiers roared loudly at the same time. The sound is devastating.
Even the Tibetans who were attacking the mountain on the mountain road to the north were frightened by the changes in the battlefield on the north bank of the Yaoshui River and stopped attacking the mountain. Let Leon stop and watch the game.
The two iron cavalry of Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi continued to attack the enemy's position in depth, and the momentum was like a bamboo. In the end, the Tubo army was successfully chiseled through, and on the huge battlefield, the Tubo army could not take care of it, and there was a great chaos.
In the rumbling war drums, the Tang army began a comprehensive counterattack, and the majestic army array rushed towards the Tubo army like an angry wave.
After the two cavalry teams of Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi met in the center of the enemy line. Synthesize a force, continue to charge and kill the enemy's rear formation, the two tiger generals will fight side by side, open the bow left and right, roar, spear and lance and plow, with the help of the momentum of the war horse, constantly destroy the enemy's military formation, and cover the mild. It's like the two are in a killing race. Not to be left behind, the men and horses behind them are also fighting bravely, the war horses galloping, and the hooves flying. The sword light is like practice, killing the Tubo people with their heads and rats, and they can't form an army.
Footage of fierce war under the mountain. Seeing Li Ang on the high rock, they couldn't help but boil with blood and cheered enthusiastically:
"Dazaru Gong is defeated!"
"Tibet is defeated!"
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
"Ambassador Wang Zhongsi is mighty!"
"Kill! Kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ”
The cheers from the mountains came down one after another. When the Tibetan attacking armies on both sides of the mountain in the south and north of the mountain heard this, their hearts became more and more drummed. Where is there still the heart to attack the mountain.
The Tibetan army was really defeated! Under the continuous destruction of the Tang army, after tens of thousands of Tibetan troops were cut into two parts, the front army was already in chaos, scattering all over the mountains and wilderness, and the Tang army swarmed up, desperately chasing and killing.
Although the rear army of more than 10,000 horses can barely maintain the formation, it is also very scattered, and under the continuous impact of the two cavalry of Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi, they can only fight and retreat.
Dazaru Gong was also one of the best generals in Tibet, who had broken the Hui Dynasty and fought against the Tang army many times. The last time there was a fire in the backyard, and the battle situation was unfavorable, he resolutely threw down his baggage, retreated overnight, and saved the army of 50,000.
This time, he drank Wang Zhonghe's footwashing water, and Wang Zhongsi dared to use the lives of thousands of Tang troops as bait, and dared to risk the collapse of the whole army to carry out such a Jedi counterattack, which Dazarugon never expected.
Normally, the infantryman's butt is against the cavalry, and there is absolutely no physiology.
But Wang Zhongsi calculated accurately, although the Yaoshui River was not deep, it could effectively hinder the speed of the Tubo cavalry, so that the one or two thousand Tang troops had the opportunity to escape back to their own position.
and then use the Tang army's big killing weapon, the Modao Formation, to block the impact of the Tubo cavalry; At the same time, it cooperated with the bow and crossbow array to inflict a large number of casualties on the Tubo cavalry and frustrate its sharpness; Then break the formation with the cavalry hidden on both flanks and divide the enemy army.
These tactics are not complicated, but they are fraught with great risks. On the battlefield, the two armies fought each other, and neither could guarantee that the war would go as they expected.
Once the time difference is a little bit, the front army is chased too closely, the Tubo cavalry can rush into Wang Zhonghe's Chinese army, in the case of the Tubo cavalry and the front army entangled and rushed in, what Mo knife formation, rejection horse gun formation is useless, waiting for the Tang army will be a tragic massacre!
But the so-called risk is the uncertainty of benefits! Failure is proportional to gain. High risk, which may bring about devastating losses, will inevitably require huge returns. Looking back now, this battle was completely unreasonable!
It was at such a great risk that Dazarugon drank a basin full of footwater. Of the 30,000 Tubo army, except for the 10,000 rear army, which was able to retreat to the south bank of the Yaoshui River, the rest were all intercepted by the Tang army on the north bank, fiercely besieged and pursued.
Seeing that the defeat was decided, Dazarugong was ruthless again, throwing down the 20,000 Tibetan soldiers on the north bank and fleeing in the direction of Bailugou with more than 10,000 people on the south bank.
Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi did not give up, and chased and killed all the way, and Dazarugong personally led 2,000 elites to delay the attack, so as not to cause the more than 10,000 men and horses to collapse.
On the north bank of the Yaoshui River, 20,000 Tibetan soldiers fled all over the mountains, because they were mostly cavalry, and the Tang army was mostly infantry, which created an embarrassing situation, killing the enemy, but unable to catch up.
Wang Zhongji had no choice but to quickly transfer back the cavalry of Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi and join the pursuit. In this way, the embarrassing situation was finally reversed.
However, this allowed more than 10,000 men and horses of Dazarugun to successfully withdraw to Bailugou, and escaped from Shengtian under the response of the prince Kaqin of Tuyuhun.
On the day of the Chiling Pass at the south gate of the stone fort, thousands of men and horses, after learning that Dazarugon was defeated, where was they still thinking about attacking the mountain, and they couldn't even care about the corpses of their companions, so they hurriedly withdrew.
Along with Narisong, the 5,000 cavalry of Princess Dolma had been evacuated, and she had not yet reached the Chiling Pass, and before she could enter the battle, Dazarugon's army had been defeated.
In any case, her son's life was worry-free, and Princess Zhuoma was secretly relieved. The defeated Tibetan army is all relatives, and only she and Dawa are secretly happy.
The 20,000 Tibetan soldiers on the south bank of the Yaoshui River were either killed or captured under the encirclement and interception of the Tang army.
What a victory! It's definitely a rare victory!
This time, not only did he recapture the stone castle, but he also fulfilled the king's wish, and also annihilated more than 20,000 enemies in one fell swoop! Such a great victory made the Tang soldiers under the mountain so excited that it was difficult to express it in words.
And on the high stone castle city, a big banner with the word "Tang" is rising. Under the banner, there were also cheers, and some soldiers jumped and laughed with excitement, and their eyes were full of tears of excitement.
