Chapter 339: The Battle of the Logos (3)

On the fifth day of the eighth month of the second year of Guangqi, Yinshi.

The sweaty BMW under Gao Chibang's crotch looks particularly spirited, and the 32,000 iron-blooded soldiers have made all the preparations, waiting for Gao Chibang's final order, and they are about to launch the most fierce attack on Luo Qi.

Of the 40,000 troops who entered Tibet, more than 4,000 were killed or died of illness, more than 3,000 were stationed in Yucheng and other places, and 32,000 soldiers came to Dazi.

The significance of this battle was understood by all the soldiers, and they also believed that after this battle, there would be no large-scale battles in Tibet, and the rest would be sporadic fighting.

Zhu Wen and Qin Erhei were behind Gao Chibang, looking very quiet, the quiet atmosphere of the plateau had long taught them to stay calm, facing the endless land, the best way to face it was to watch quietly.

Gao Chibang pulled out the Tang knife and swung it forward, and the army began to slowly advance in the direction of Luo.

This is the habit and law of every battle, Dazi is sixty miles away from Luo, the battle will start at the hour of the hour, the time of two hours, the march will pass by the land, this is the warm-up, there must be sufficient warm-up time before the war, otherwise when the battle begins, many people will be unbearable.

Although the army was silent, although no one spoke, the momentum that erupted was amazing, and all the soldiers had the belief that they would win, and they were eager to charge and kill the enemy, and they were all eager to achieve a complete victory.

At that time, Luo Qi had fallen into a tense atmosphere, and the Tang army began to march towards Luo Qi.

The kings of Lhasa, Ali and Yaze all understood that the offensive of the Tang army was about to begin.

The army was quickly organized, and of course, this was also the busiest time for the mages, who did not forget to pray for the army and the sergeants at the end, eager to be blessed by the gods.

The army came to a place five miles away from the Potala Palace, where the terrain was flat and the best place for a decisive battle between the two armies.

The Tibetan army has certain characteristics in its arrangement. The front is the yak array, two thousand yaks will be at the beginning of the battle, launch a charge, these yaks are very brave, once stimulated, rampage, do not fall will not stop, in the confrontation with the Tang army, this kind of yak formation, has always been the most headache for the Tang army.

Followed by the yak formation. It is the cavalry of Tubo, a total of 20,000 people, the cavalry of 20,000 people, is the elite of the Tubo army, whether they can defeat the Tang army, their role is very important, once the yak array breaks the front of the Tang army, 20,000 cavalry will charge in the fastest time.

Behind the cavalry were fifteen thousand foot soldiers, whose main role was to wait for the troops to defeat the Tang army. To launch a charge, they not only had to kill the Tang sergeants, but also snatched the war horses, you must know that the war horses are in the eyes of the Tubo nobles. It is also a great asset.

The kings of Lhasa, Ali and Yaze were at the back of the army, and the three banners were behind them, so they did not need to charge into battle, and they could come to the battlefield to cheer. Even if it is a great gift, with them supervising the battle on the battlefield, the sergeants will definitely charge and fight desperately.

Two o'clock. The scouts reported that five miles ahead, the Tibetan army was already in full formation, the front was the yak array, the back was the cavalry, and finally the foot soldiers, the king of Lhasa, the king of Ali and the king of Yaze were all dispatched, at the back of the army, and the handsome banner of the Tubo was also at the back of the army.

A smile appeared on Gao Chibang's face, everything was expected by Li Rupei and him, it seemed that the goal of completely defeating and exterminating the Tubo army this time would definitely be achieved.

The army has a secret weapon, specifically to deal with the yak array, the Han people who came to surrender, also specifically talked about the yak array, the yak is very fierce, the strength is great, if it is really charged, the war horse can not resist at all, and the yak is not afraid of death, will not retreat at all, if it can not be taken seriously, the army will definitely suffer heavy losses, at least it is difficult to maintain the offensive formation.

The number of battles between the Tang army and the Tubo army is not too much, and some sporadic battles are rarely spread, it should be said that before the iron-blooded army entered Tubo, they did not know much about the combat effectiveness and tactics of the Tubo army, but this yak array had already been proposed by Li Rupei, and there was a special way to deal with it.

Gao Chibang didn't feel strange, anyway, Li Rupei was omnipotent.

At three o'clock, the distance between the iron-blooded army and the Tibetan army was only two miles, and the confrontation between the two armies began, and the time of this confrontation was very short, and the next thing would be a tragic battle.

The Iron Blood Army had not completely stopped, and among the Tibetan army, a strange voice appeared.

The yak instantly became irritable, its nose bubbling white, and it glared viciously ahead.

With many shouts, the yak began to rush towards the Iron Blood.

When the yak first began to charge, a huge explosion and screaming fireworks rushed towards the yak.

The yaks had seen such a formation, such explosions and shining fireworks, which were the things they feared the most, and for a while, the two thousand yaks were at a loss, and many of the yaks that rushed in front began to turn around and rush towards the Tibetan army.

It was also at this time that the rumbling drums accompanied by the sound of explosions and the screams of fireworks appeared at the same time.

The secret weapons of the Iron Blood Army to deal with yaks are fireworks and firecrackers, which is a special arrangement made by Li Rupei.

Fireworks, in the eyes of the common people, is a festive and auspicious celebration, but in the eyes of the yak, it is the biggest enemy, where have the yaks in Tubo seen fireworks, the huge explosion sound for the yak, is the most deadly thing.

The Tubo cavalry in the front row was caught off guard, their formation was instantly scattered by the yak, even if someone kept shouting yaks, but in front of the sound of firecrackers and screaming fireworks, the yaks would not obey the command at all, and still rushed towards the Tubo troops, the charging formation of two thousand yaks was amazing, many of the Tubo cavalry were knocked off the horseback by the yaks, and they were trampled into meat paste by the yaks before they had time to scream.

The cavalry of the Iron Blood Army quickly moved forward, and when it was still a mile away from the Tibetan cavalry, the rain of arrows and the whistling bows and crossbows in the sky headed towards the Tibetan army.

The Tubo cavalry, who were dealing with the impact of the yak, did not care about the rain of defensive arrows and crossbows at all, and more screams appeared, and the sergeant of the war horse who was shot by the bow and crossbow was hit by the huge impact force, and the sergeant who was hit by the arrow screamed and fell off the horse.

The yak became even more frantic and began to scatter in all directions......

The formation of the Tibetan army was completely disrupted.

The drum beat changed instantly, and the sharp and rapid drum beat began to appear.

Zhu Wen raised his spear high and roared loudly in the direction of the Tibetan army.

"Brothers, kill ......"

The huge shout, accompanied by the rumbling of horses' hooves, instantly covered up other sounds, a torrent rushed towards the Tubo army, a huge crash and screams appeared instantly, the torrent with an overwhelming advantage, forced the Tubo cavalry formation to compress backwards, which made the foot soldiers who followed behind also suffered an impact, and the shape was also a little messy.

The expressions of the kings of Lhasa, Ali and Yaze have changed, they did not expect that the Tang army was so strong, although they had suffered many defeats before, but they did not see the courage of the Tang army.

This is when something even bigger happens.

In the midst of the Tibetan army, there was a sudden loud shout.

"The Tang army is coming, brothers, it's ......"

Among the Tibetan cavalry and foot soldiers, someone suddenly turned his spear and moved on the sergeants beside him, these sergeants wrapped white cotton cloth around their foreheads and began to attack the Tibetan army.

All the attacking officers and soldiers of the Iron Blood Army knew that these people were Han Chinese in the Tibetan army.

The kings of Lhasa, Ali, and Yaze were ready to flee, and the battle proceeded so quickly that they had not expected, but in a quarter of an hour or so, the army had been completely routed, and they were not even ready to retreat.

The three of them thought too simply, they were the focus of the Iron Army, how could they be ignored, how could they escape easily.

One thousand special forces and the two thousand cavalry, the most elite cavalry under Zhu Wen, a total of 3,000 people, began to exert their strength, and they tore a hole in the army and rushed towards the direction of Shuai Qi.

The notch was torn open in a very short time.

The kings of Lhasa, Ali, and Yaze were guarded by personal soldiers, and there were 3,000 men in all.

It's a pity that these 3,000 people have no chance to resist in the face of the iron-blooded army's special forces and elite cavalry.

The kings of Lhasa, Ali and Yaze were surrounded in the middle, and they watched the soldiers screaming and falling, but unfortunately they had no chance to escape, and they were surrounded by the soldiers of the Iron Army.

The tragic fighting did not matter in the eyes of the king of Lhasa, Ali and Yaze, at this time they thought of being able to escape, as long as they could save their lives, they would have a chance to make a comeback.

The tragic fighting continued, it was a completely one-sided fight, the Tibetan army did not organize to resist effectively, the yak array and the sergeants defected, so that all their preparations came to naught, at this time, the gods could not bless them, but the Tibetan soldiers who fled were still very few, despite the massacre, they were still struggling to persevere, and even some of the sergeants were ready to rush over to protect the king of Lhasa, the king of Ali and the king of Yaze.

When Zhu Wen and Qin Erhei led a part of their soldiers to rush towards the kings of Lhasa, Ali and Yaze, it was a sign that the battle was coming to an end.

When Zhu Wen's spear stabbed at the king of Lhasa, there was thunder in the sky, he did not stop, and decisively stabbed the king of Lhasa off his horse...... (To be continued......)
