Chapter Seventy-Three: Chaotic War

The tide of men and horses slowly marching north is the Tubo Mo clan, and the leader is not the tribal leader (the head of the Mo clan was originally in the king's tent with the Qide Zuzan), but in the absence of the leader, his brother led the army. When they learned of the attack on the royal tent in the morning, they set camp north to rescue the Chinese army and join forces with other tribes to encircle the Tang army. Unexpectedly, after walking for a long time, the main force of the Shence army followed, and the Tang army in the direction of the king tent in the north was ordered by the Mo clan to ignore the men and horses behind and continue to move north, so the two groups of men and horses chased and encountered Xue Chongxun's department.

The Mo tribe can gather tens of thousands of horsemen to go out to the Great Khan of Tubo, and it is one of the largest tribes in Tubo except for the Qide Zuzan. A few years ago, the most warlike tribe was the Qinling clan, but after the Qide Zuzan inherited the throne of the Khan, the position was unstable and he began to clean up those forces that were not loyal enough, the Qinling clan was unfortunately listed as a first-class traitor, and when the new monarch integrated the internal forces, the Qide Zuzan led troops to attack the territory and slaughtered tens of thousands of people, since then the Qinling clan has withdrawn from the power stage of the city, and most of the surviving clansmen have taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty. Now the two largest clans of the Qide Zuzan faction are the Mo clan and the Lang clan, and both clans can raise tens of thousands of troops at any time to follow the Qide Zuzan to fight in the south and the north.

Compared to the sleek nature of the Lang chief, the Mo brothers looked a little stricter. I saw that there were three vertical lines between the eyebrows of the main general of the Chinese army, and his expression was usually more serious and rarely smiled. He was observing Xue Chongxun's department opposite.

Xue Chongxun's department, as always, was the same as when the other Tang armies were fighting, the camp was balanced and straight, and the queue was tightly organized, and the number was well estimated. I saw that they were arranged into ten groups of men and horses, according to the Mo clan's understanding of the Tang army, they knew that one of their regiments was two hundred people, and now a little observation showed that there were more than 100 to 200 people per unit, so the total was less than 2,000 horses.

The 10th Regiment of the Tang Army spread out horizontally, with five regiments in front and five regiments in the rear, and each regiment lined up in a horizontal line of about fifty people. In this way, there are about 200 riders in the horizontal direction, and only eight columns in the longitudinal direction...... The depth of such an arrangement is very small, and it is completely a wave of desperate suicide attacks, and it is easy to collapse and lose directly if the first battle is unfavorable, and there is not much leeway.

But the Tang army on the other side is so many, what other way is there besides this? A rare smile appeared at the corner of Mo's mouth.

Someone next to him said: "There are nearly 10,000 Tang soldiers behind us, and it won't be long before we catch up. ”

Mo Shi pointed to the front with a horsewhip and said lightly: "With less than two thousand cavalry, a sneak attack at night can still work, now?" What can they do with us? He paused and said, "The Tang Dynasty only had more than 10,000 troops to attack, and they attacked from afar, and they have almost not rested for a day and a night since yesterday, and they have fought two vicious battles. I wonder if their blades are all rolled up and can slash people? Do their men still have the strength to pull the bowstring and move their swords and spears? ”

At this time, an old man reminded the general: "The horse ridden by the Tang soldiers in front seems to be a Tibetan horse, which was snatched from our camp!" The Han people have a saying that put the dead and then live, you must not underestimate the enemy. ”

Mo shook his head and said: "Don't worry, everyone, no matter what, we have tens of thousands of horsemen, and the Tang soldiers are full of tens of thousands of people, is it possible for them to eat us in a short time?" Even if you can't wipe them all out, it's not difficult to hold back and wait for reinforcements to encircle them. Wait a minute, outflank from the left and right flanks, and surround the two thousand horsemen from the north; After the large number of men and horses in the south came, they lured the enemy deep into the depth of our army's forces, and then tried to divide and entangle, no matter whether they won or lost, they fought together, and the victory belonged to us! ”

"The general is wise!" The generals listened and praised.

Mo raised his hand and said: "Prepare for war, you must do your best, we happen to meet the enemy in the south, if we let the enemy soldiers go, the Great Khan will definitely punish the crime...... These people have attacked the king's tent! ”

The two armies marched in the opposite direction, gradually getting closer and closer; The main force of the Shence Army in the south also appeared in sight and was marching north. The magnificent men and horses in the wilderness are about to stage a bloody scene again. Field warfare is the top competition game, more than combat effectiveness than mobility, everyone has no place to hide, the strong win the weak and die, and that's it.

The number of people on the Tubo side was more than 20 times that of Xue Chongxun's, and the black pressure on the Tubo side was like an elephant, while the queue of the Tang army was as small as a sheep.

Legend has it that there is such a thing as a dragon in the world, and the beast will be afraid to retreat from the pressure it will be subjected to...... And how did the two thousand Tang troops bravely charge in the face of elephant-like behemoths? The Tibetans were completely incomprehensible.

Less than fifty paces, the Tibetan army rode and shot, and it was like a torrential rain under the sun. The Tang army did not use bows and arrows, because there were few people and there were not enough bows and arrows, and they endured the casualties from long-range attacks and began to accelerate their charge. The first few columns of cavalry roared with one or two long horses and lances, and a roar erupted from the battlefield, and in an instant the troops were close to each other.

There was no room for retreat at all, and the long weapon was directly inserted into the body of Tubo, and some people lost the long soldier as soon as they clashed, pulled out their sabers and killed them. Soon the wilderness shouted like thunder and slaughter, and only saw the bright sword and spear dancing, like a school of fish in a pot of oil dancing desperately.

In less than a stick of incense after receiving the enemy, the Tibetan soldiers outflanked from the left and right flanks, as if they opened a bloody mouth and swallowed it slowly. By virtue of their numerical superiority, they were much wider than the Tang Army, both in depth and horizontally. At this time, Xue Chongxun's department had no reserve and had no way, so he could only watch the momentum of death slowly form, and it was impossible to have any countermeasures now...... This is the burial place of the army, in the stomach of the Tibetan camp!

After a while, the Shence army in the south finally chased to the ground, and they directly killed them with cavalry as the front army...... The main general Xue Chongxun is surrounded by the Tubo army, what other strategies does the Shence army have?

In the charge, many of the overworked war horses of the Shence Army cavalry fell to the ground and died foaming at the mouth under the stimulation of the dramatic movement, and the cavalry also became a foot army, and the horses on foot ran like a tide into the Tibetan crowd. The infantry soldiers behind also rushed to the front of the battlefield on horseback, and they all got down from their horses and rushed up, they had to dismount to fight, because not everyone could dance on the horse with the Modao and other infantry weapons.

Fighting on the battlefield is really rare, because usually one side is basically a precursor to defeat, but now the scene on both sides is so chaotic that no side loses. G
