Chapter Seventy-Five: Success

—— The sparks from the explosion after the rocket used as a communication signal shot into the sky had not completely dissipated, and the officers and men of the Tang Army, who were lined up in a skirmish line and ready to rush to the camp, began to attack at full speed. The place where this man and horse lurked before the impact was a low hillside two to three miles outside the Tubo camp, which could not only hide the traces of the army, but also shelter from the wind, and facilitate acceleration during the impact.

The soldiers of the Tang Army, wielding their swords, took advantage of the terrain and quickly pulled up their speed. Only the cavalry attack power that is fast is strong, this is a truth that any cavalry commander understands, and it is also the reason why Hun Mian chose to start accelerating a few miles outside the Tubo camp.

The terrain where the Tubo people camped was very gentle, and it was frozen, so there was no need to worry about encountering ditches and rivers when rushing to kill, and there was no need to worry about slipping the war horses that increased friction such as tied strips of cloth, and the soldiers of the Tang Army could rush and kill without scruples.

Before the army began to attack, at least 200 sergeants of the special operations team had already infiltrated the Tibetan camp, and the rocket explosion in mid-air was the signal for action, and the members of the special operations team who had infiltrated the Tibetan camp quickly set fire to it. The wind in the Dafei River area was quite strong at night, and the fire spread all at once by taking advantage of the wind. The lit camp tent became an excellent lighting at night, and the soldiers of the Tang army who rushed from all directions rushed up on this flat grass with the help of the bright light, and in a blink of an eye they had broken into the Tubo camp from all directions and went deeper.

In winter, tents are made of cloth coated with animal fat, designed to protect against rain, snow and wind, and the tents made of this cloth are very warm and durable, but have the fatal disadvantage of being easy to ignite. The members of the special operation team who infiltrated the Tibetan camp were a little angry, and the camp tent was immediately set on fire, and it soon spread out with the wind. Within a while, the camp of the Tibetans was on fire everywhere, and many Tibetans who had no time to escape were burned to death in their sleep.

After being awakened, many Tibetans rushed out of the set fire tent before they had time to put on their clothes, and soon the Tibetan camp was in chaos.

When the members of the special task force set fire to the fire, the grenades and explosives bags they carried with them also exploded in the Tibetan camp, and many tents were completely overturned by the air currents generated by the explosion. Some people even thought that the artifact was an artifact, and when they were attacked by grenades, they actually knelt down and kowtowed. When the Tang army attacked, it was around the middle of the hour, and most of the Tubo people fell asleep, and after being awakened, they didn't even have a chance or time to distinguish anything, everything was confused.

It's a pity that the number of grenades carried by the members of the special operation team is not large, and the lethality is not very large, but it has caused great panic to the Tibetans.

Grenades and explosives packs are very lethal and loud. At the time of the explosion, the ground shook and the mountains shook, which was very terrifying.

When the members of the special operation team began to move, the Hun Xuan troops began to raid the camp, and at about the same time, the Fugu Huai'en troops who arrived outside the Tubo camp also began to charge. They attacked the Tibetan camp from several directions, and the nightmare of the Tibetan people continued!

The Hun Gang took the lead in rushing into the camp of the Tubo people, and the Tang soldiers who rushed into the camp of Tubo rushed into the camp one by one under the leadership of their respective captains, brigade commanders, and team leaders. The grenades hanging on them were also taken off one after another and thrown into the tents of the Tibetans.

The explosion of grenades continued to sound in the tent of the Tibetan camp. There were deafening explosions everywhere, and the fragments of the camp and the fragments of the Tibetan limbs flew high together, and the screams and cries for help of the Tibetan people were constantly sounding in the explosion.

Because the speed of our army's action is very fast, the Tubo people did not know the whereabouts of our Tang army, and the effect of the very sudden attack is very good, when the soldiers of our Tang army rushed into the Tubo camp, most of the Tubo people were still sleeping in the camp tents, and many people did not have time to react at all, huddled in a heap, were killed and injured by grenades, or burned to death by fire.

The explosion power of the grenade that has been repeatedly improved is very amazing, and the grenades thrown into the camp tent can basically support the entire Tibetan soldiers in the tent to lose their combat effectiveness, and a few grenades are thrown into it, and the Tubo people crowded in the tent are injured without death. Even if some people were lucky enough not to be injured, they were scared to death. The Tibetan people did not know what this loud noise was, and the Tubo people who could blow people off their arms and legs, and the Tubo people who had encountered the explosion scene were all frightened, either lying on the ground and kowtowing vigorously, or running around, forgetting to resist.

Some Tubo soldiers who reacted quickly ran out of the camp after waking up, but the Tang cavalry soldiers who attacked the camp came from all directions, and these scattered Tubo people were immediately cut down to the ground by the Tang soldiers and soldiers holding war knives, even if they were not hacked to death, but under the continuous trampling of war horses with horseshoe equipment, the people who fell to the ground were basically killed.

Hun Lu is a Hu man, follow his father Hun Shi to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, has already regarded himself as a Tang person, today's rush is his first battle in this campaign, the attack is very smooth, he is proud of his heart, a horse in front of the front, waving the long lance in his hand to kill the enemy, behind the guards and other sergeants to follow quickly, the straight Tubo people scattered and ran.

"Brothers, kill!" The loud and muffled voice even drowned out the explosion of the grenade. The few wooden-handled grenades he had with him were unused. Although this powerful weapon can receive unexpected results, it is far from the enjoyment of slashing with real knives and guns, and the highly excited state of silence only thinks about using the long lance in his hand to kill the enemy.

In the rapid rush, the long lance in his hand struck at a Tubo soldier who ran over in panic for some unknown reason, the Tubo warrior lost his life before the voice came out, blood splattered, and the halberd in Hun Mian's hand once again elegantly drew an arc, hitting the chest of another Tubo warrior, and in the terrible scream, the chest of the Tubo warrior was shattered by the mud.

Several of the guards around Hun Mu also used their already proficient swords to slash and kill those Tubo warriors who met him.

When the Hun Silent Department was desperately rushing to kill, the Fugu Huaien Department and the Wang Sili Department also rushed into the camp of the Tubo people one after another. The three men and horses finished in a zigzag formation, and went straight to the depths of the Tubo camp, and the grenades carried by the soldiers frequently exploded in the Tubo camp.

It was not the first time the grenade had been used, and the soldiers were familiar with it, but they didn't seem to like this kind of firearm very much, because they felt that it was too unpleasant to kill the enemy in this way, and after entering the camp, they threw away the few grenades they were carrying. The grenades were thrown, and the swords were also waved, and the forest of knives flashed with a fiery red light of death under the light of the fire.

The pre-war arrangement was that the Hun Wing Division, which had the highest speed of action, attacked the middle direction of the Tubo camp, that is, the position of the Tubo people's Chinese army, and the Fugu Huai'en Department was the northwest direction of the Tubo camp, and the rear army position, Wang Sili's department was the direction of the Tubo people's front army. The Fugu Huai'en Department also had a very important purpose, that is, to attack the place where the grain and grass of the Tubo people were stacked.

It's just that after they rushed to the camp, they quickly lost their direction in the face of the sky-high fire and the dense camp tents, and after a few rushes, they didn't know where the Tubo people stacked their grain and grass. This made Fugu Huaien very frustrated, and he was afraid that he would be punished by Yang Xi if he failed to complete the purpose of the attack.

However, Fugu Wynne's worries only lasted for a moment, and he soon saw the signal for guidance.

There are rockets rising into the sky in several places in the Tubo camp, which is the members of the special task force lurking in the camp to signal the Tang soldiers who rushed into the camp to attack the target, and the location of the rockets is near the main tent of the Tubo army and the place where the grain and grass are stacked.

The big tent where the main generals of the Tubo people lived and the place where the grain and grass of the Tubo people were stacked were the main targets of this battle, and if they effectively attacked these targets and succeeded, even if the Tubo people had the opportunity to organize a counterattack, they would not be able to change the final outcome.

It's just that these places are heavily guarded by the Tibetans, and the defenses are very tight, and it is difficult for the small number of members of the special operations team to launch effective attacks, and it is already very good that they can point the way.

Where the rocket was raised, a large number of officers and soldiers of the Tang Army immediately rushed over in a large scale.

After reconfirming the position, Fugu Huaien immediately commanded the five thousand soldiers around him to quickly rush over. The attack of the plundering camp is very particular, that is, the soldiers who rush into the camp do not love to fight, do not pursue any Tibetan people who escape, and only go to the depths of the enemy's camp or the established destination, so as to cause the opponent's greatest confusion and eliminate the opponent's important targets.

Zhenghuan, who was killed by Hun Mian and Fugu Huaien, did not encounter any resistance, and when they broke through to their respective attack targets, the men and horses led by Wang Sili also progressed smoothly. Wang Sili and his subordinates quickly rushed to the depths of the Tibetan camp, effortlessly threw grenades, blew up the big tent of the Tibetans, and slashed the Tibetans fleeing in all directions with the weapons in their hands.

Whether it was Wang Sili, Hun Mu and Fu Gu Huai'en, or Gao Shi who then rushed into the camp, the thousands of men and horses they led were all attacking places where rockets were constantly rising, and those places were important parts of the Tubo people, and they must be attacked first.

This was repeatedly ordered by Yang Xi before the war, and it was also verified in the previous battles, including the raid on Sun Xiaozhe's troops.

Yang Xi asked the soldiers to attack the camp at any cost to attack the big tent where Shang Jiexi and other main Tibetan leaders lived and the place where the grain and grass were stacked, and strive to kill or capture the leaders of the Tibetan army at the beginning of the war, and burn the grain and grass of the Tubo people.

There is no need to question the victory of this war, and the balance of victory has tilted towards my Datang! (To be continued......)
