Chapter 21: The Great Destruction of Tibet (Part II)
The Tibetan army shouted and killed the sky, and their eyes were full of bloodthirsty light, like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb.
The Tubo army, which was brain-congested by the wonderful blueprint outlined by Du Song Mangbu, did not take the Tang army in their eyes at all, in their eyes the Tang army was a lamb to be slaughtered.
However, the reality is cruel, and they will be greeted by a merciless blow from the Tang Army.
Li Longji rode on the back of the Lion King of the Night, looked at the surging Tubo army, smiled slightly, and said, "At this moment, the Tubo army is heroic!" They are very courageous, and they have the heroic courage of God to block and kill God, and Buddha to prevent and kill Buddha. However, the battlefield is unforgiving, and courage alone is not enough, but also strength. Let's let the Tibetan army recognize the form. ”
"That's right." The generals echoed loudly.
Li Longji is right. Courage is an indispensable part of the battlefield, but courage alone is not enough, it is also necessary to have strength. Strength includes training, orders, tactics, tactics, and equipment, and Tubo is too far behind the Tang army in this regard.
Zhang said. Li Longji turned his head and nodded at Zhang.
"Please rest assured, I will fight this battle." This time, Li Longji still handed over the matter of commanding the operation to Zhang Shuo, and did not personally command it.
This is of course a trust in Zhang Shuo, and it is also a tempering of Zhang Shuo. Zhang said that he is a great talent, the first in the world, and he is proficient in the way of military affairs and has the talent of a famous general. If you give him the opportunity to hone in your training, then he will be even better. Such a big battle is a good opportunity to hone his training, and Li Longji naturally wants to fulfill him.
"Strong crossbow, release!" Zhang Shuo's right hand was raised high and swung down heavily. Ordered loudly.
The Tang army carried tens of thousands of strong crossbows this time. Placed on the battlefield. Like an ancient beast. Tens of thousands of powerful crossbows were placed together, and the formation was shocking at a glance, just like tens of thousands of ancient fierce beasts.
A branch of crossbow arrows is placed on the arrow, like the fangs of a fierce beast, shining in the sun, making people chill.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Zhang said an order, and the earth-shattering sound of the engine rang out.
The sound was too loud. It shook people's ear drums.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! A sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and I saw countless crossbow arrows appear in the air, so many that even the sunlight could not penetrate it, and the ground was pitch black.
Countless crossbow arrows formed a huge net of arrows, which covered the Tibetan army.
The sight of the crossbow bolts flying through the air was very powerful, and the strong wind whistled and blew the grass on the ground like a wave of wheat blown by a strong wind.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! The dull sound of flesh came and went, and many Tibetan soldiers were shot by crossbow arrows.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! The screams of the Tibetan soldiers rang out. It thundered.
The bolt is too powerful, no matter how it shoots. Or shoot horses, often can shoot a transparent hole, blood does not have time to fill this hole, can pass through the light. In an instant, blood filled the hole, blood splattered, and beautiful blood flowers bloomed.
In the daylight, these beautiful blood flowers are bewitching and indescribably weird.
The penetration of the crossbow bolt is so strong that it will never just kill one person and one horse, but often shoot several people or horses before they are exhausted and fall to the ground.
Instead of simply falling, it will skewer people or horses into meat skewers, and this fall will soon pile up into a mountain of corpses.
The people or horses in the corpse mountain, some of whom are not yet dead, are shouting loudly and struggling, making the corpse mountain tremble constantly.
Even a dead man or horse, because life is still alive, will twitch.
At first glance, it looks like an Asura slaughterhouse.
With only one round of shooting, the surging Tibetan army was like a boulder smashed into a lake and a big hole appeared, and the Tibetan army evaporated out of thin air, as if they did not exist.
"This ......"
"It's horrible! It's horrible! ”
"Oh my God, is this a crossbow? How can a strong crossbow be so powerful? ”
"Am I dazzled?"
When the Tubo soldiers saw it, their faces changed greatly, and they thought they were dazzled.
It is true that Tubo fought with the Tang Dynasty for decades, most of them were small in scale, and the Tang Dynasty invested limited strong crossbows. Even in the first battle of Dafeichuan twenty years ago, the Tang Dynasty only sent a total of 50,000 troops, and the strong crossbows invested were only three or two thousand.
And this time, the Tang army invested tens of thousands of strong crossbows to exert their might together, this kind of thing, Tubo is the first time to experience, and it is impossible for the Tubo soldiers not to be dumbfounded.
"Oh my God! The crossbow is terrible! "It was also the first time in his life that he had seen so many strong crossbows, and his face changed greatly, and he felt that his eyes were black for a while, and his heart was beating with fright.
The Tang army's strong crossbow was only a round of shooting, and the Tubo suffered a lot of casualties, and if the fight continued like this, even if there were more Tubo troops, it would not be enough for the Tang army to kill.
"......" big and small discussions, they were directly speechless, their mouths opened wide, and they were speechless.
The crossbow is terrifying, they know it, and they have seen it. However, with so many powerful crossbows at once, such a terrifying scene, they were still the first time in their lives that they were so shocked that they couldn't be speechless.
"Kill! Kill all the Tang Army! Grab the Tang Realm! The Tibetan army, which was shot by a strong crossbow and was a little stunned, didn't know which one was carried away by Facai, so he raised his throat and roared.
This roar made the Tibetan army frightened, and their morale soared, and they roared: "Kill!" Kill all the Tang Army! Grab the Tang Realm! "Roaring and charging, as if the terrifying crossbow did not exist.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! The strong crossbow once again exerted its might, and countless crossbow arrows appeared in the air, like poisonous snakes, covering the Tibetan army.
After this round of shooting, the Tubo army suffered many casualties, and the formation was already messy and slowed down somewhat.
In this way, the strong crossbows of the Tang army were fired one after another, and they kept shooting, and every time the Tibetan army took a step forward, they had to pay a lot of price. Stimulated by the beautiful blueprint, the Tibetan army was extremely heroic, and although it suffered heavy casualties, it still charged.
Soon, within the range of the bow and arrow, the Tang army bent its bow and set up arrows and fired arrows at the Tubo army.
Archery is a necessary skill of the Tang Army, regardless of the type of troops, you must be proficient in archery, otherwise, it is impossible to join the army.
So many Don troops fired arrows at once. I saw dense arrows appear in the air. Go to the Tibetan cover. The Tibetan army suffered many casualties, and the screams rang out.
The armor of the Tibetan army is very poor, mostly leather armor, as for the iron armor, where can it defend against arrows, or it will not be possible to suffer heavy casualties.
After being shot with bows and arrows, the Tibetan army was already weak, and many of the surviving Tibetan soldiers had turned around and fled. Only a handful of Tibetan soldiers were still charging.
These charging Tibetan soldiers were lucky. Misfortune again.
It is said that they are lucky because some of them rushed to the front of the Tang army, brandishing scimitars and shouting viciously: "Kill the Tang army!" ”
However, they were greeted by a cold and glistening Modao. I saw thousands of Mo knives raised high, forming a shining wall of knives, and slashed down at these Tubo soldiers who rushed to the front.
Mo knife slashed, fierce and fierce, the bright sword light was like thunder and lightning, making the Tubo soldiers feel terrible.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! There was a dull sound of flesh. Blood splattered, blooming beautiful blood flowers.
These Tibetan soldiers, who were still charging a moment ago, were broken into pieces. Stumps and broken arms, broken internal organs, and gushing blood prove that they once existed.
Their death was worse than being shot with a terrible crossbow.
The strong crossbow was shot, and there was a human form at all, and he was chopped to death by the Mo knife and directly became pieces.
That's their misfortune.
"Phew!" When the Tibetan soldiers saw it, their faces changed greatly, and they gasped coldly.
At this moment, the Tibetan soldiers were cerebral congested and didn't care much about death. However, the fact that they died so miserably that there was not even a single complete part was too frightening for them not to be shocked.
Although I have long known that the Mo Dao battle array is powerful and will split people into pieces, when you see it with your own eyes, it is another matter.
"Phew!" Du Song Mangbu saw it in his eyes, and he also inhaled the cool air, and his face changed greatly.
He knows Tang Jun very well, he knows that Tang Jun is very good, he has dealt with Tang Jun a lot in his life, and he has seen how powerful Tang Jun is. However, at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
It's really that Tang Jun's style of play is too terrifying.
"Zampu, you have to boost the morale of the army." Da Tan endured his fright and reminded Du Songmang.
In the first round of the attack, Tubo paid a huge price, but the casualties caused to the Tang army were negligible and negligible, only a few Tang troops were too unlucky to be injured, and even fewer Tang troops died.
This was too great a blow to the morale of the Tibetan army, and it had to boost the morale of the army.
"Warriors of the Great Tibet: Kill! Kill all the Tang Army! Du Song Manbujie clenched his scimitar and roared loudly.
"Kill the Tang Army!" The morale of the Tibetan army could not be exhausted by just one round of setbacks, and as soon as they heard this, they immediately launched a second round of attacks.
This round of attack, compared with the first round, is not inferior in any way, the morale of the Tibetan army is still so high, and the fighting spirit is still so fierce.
However, their offensive still failed to make progress, and even the slightest bit of it only increased casualties.
In this way, the Tibetan army attacked one after another, one after another, as if they were not dying. It's just that it can't shake the Tang Army's formation, it's just to send it to death.
"This is the difference in strength!" Li Longji has no lack of admiration for the courage of the Tibetan army, however, in the face of a huge gap in strength, any courage is in vain.
By noon, the morale of the Tibetan army had been drained, the fighting spirit had dropped sharply, and the charge was no longer so powerful and sharp.
Dusong Mangbujie saw it in his eyes, was worried, and ordered to stop the attack and ask the Tibetan army to eat war food.
The Tang army also had to eat war meals and did not take the opportunity to attack.
Du Song Mangbu knot gnawed on the jerky, gathered the big talks, small discussions, and the whole thing together to discuss the military plane, and said: "The Tang army is very terrible, we have been fighting with the Tang Dynasty for decades, but we have not been able to take advantage, and we have lost more and won less. Even in the Battle of Dafeichuan 20 years ago, the Great Tubo could not completely annihilate Xue Rengui's remnants with ten times the force, which impressed the Great Tubo. However, today, seeing the Tang Army under the command of Li Longji, Ben Zampu knew that the Tang Army was even more terrifying than we knew before. ”
"In just one morning, we have suffered nearly 30,000 casualties, and 60,000 casualties a day. In this way, our army of 580,000 will be killed by the Tang army in less than ten days. Da Dian had a sad look on his face.
"Tell me all about how to deal with the Great Tibetans?" Du Song Mangbu said helplessly. (To be continued......)
