For breaking the hoplite phalanx, a formation with a turtle shell, the most convenient method of battle is neither the Roman legion's tactics of attacking from the ribs, nor the hard-fought tactics played by the Seledan people to encircle and annihilate the Spartan 300 warriors, in fact, the most suitable tactic is the set of the Mengyuan people to defeat the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry of Europe - make full use of the advantages of light cavalry mobility and flexibility, wander and shoot on horseback, and constantly scratch the enemy's heavy army cluster, Forced to panic or physical exhaustion caused by the formation of instability, and then take advantage of the chaos to cover up, so as to achieve the strategic goal of winning more with less, the essence of this tactic is the word "mobility", and only light cavalry can do this, although this tactic is similar to a scoundrel, but the effect is excellent, it can be called the nemesis of the heavy cluster, Li Zhen knows this way well, and has also deeply studied the advantages and disadvantages of this tactic, on weekdays when training rangers, he attaches great importance to riding archery and equestrian training, This coldly made the generals on the battlefield, and it was really a bit of a surprising victory, relying on a group of rangers wearing only leather armor, they simply tossed the heavily armored Tubo heavy infantry to death.

Seeing the Tang Army's light cavalry splashing arrows on the periphery, Bu Nie Po's face can be described as wonderful, unwilling, angry, angry, disappointed, and confused are all intertwined, he can't figure out how this group of well-trained heavy troops under his command was defeated so easily, and was defeated so badly, most of the fallen soldiers have become the soul of the Tang Army's arrows without even wielding a knife, but I can't figure it out, Bu Nie Po is a veteran after all, facing his own decline, He is still a little sober, knowing that there can be chaos at this time, and there can be no withdrawal, only by sticking to the help can there be a glimmer of life, otherwise, once the Tang army is driven to herd the sheep, not waiting for the arrival of his own reinforcements, I am afraid that the remaining 2,000 soldiers will end up with their lives, therefore, after the horn for help is sounded, Bu Niepa not only did not order a retreat, but loudly ordered the whole army to shrink the defense line again, trying to force itself to support until the reinforcements arrived.

Fight the snake to kill, kill the person to kill thoroughly, once the injured wolf recovers, it must be more ferocious, this truth is applicable everywhere, Dong Qianli is a ruthless person, not to mention that Li Zhen has confessed in advance, he must cut off Bu Nie Po's head, that is, no, Dong Qianli will never let go of such a great opportunity to beat the water dogs, as soon as he saw that the Tubo army array was chaotic due to the contraction of the front, Dong Qianli did not care that the Three Kingdoms Alliance army in the distance was speeding up, and shouted: "Take out the knife, kill it!" Dong Qianli moved like this, and the Tang Dynasty rangers, who were originally shooting at the target very happily, immediately responded to the order, each abandoning their bows and knives, and followed behind Dong Qianli like thunder, and the scimitar like a forest showed off its colorful light in the sun.

It's chaotic, it's all messy, just when the Tang Army rangers launched an impact, the Tubo soldiers were busy adjusting the formation, how could they be full of corpses of the war dead, plus the physical strength was almost exhausted, and the action could not be coordinated at all, not to mention the formation, that is, there were not a few soldiers who fell due to mutual collision, it was okay not to adjust, under this adjustment, the last trace of morale that had been left was gone, the shield array collapsed, and the gun forest also fell, how could it withstand the strong impact of the Tang Army rangers, without waiting for Bu Nipo to react, The Tang army had already reached the front.

"Block, block!" Seeing that the defeat was like a mountain, Bu Nie Po was anxiously red-eyed, and desperately rode his horse to meet Dong Qianli, who was rushing to kill. Not to mention, the Tubo army is indeed a strong army, although it is already at an absolute disadvantage at this time, but seeing that its own main general is rushing up, those Tubo soldiers who still have combat power immediately gathered together and desperately launched a counter-charge towards the Tang army rangers who were rushing to kill.

Time, the key is time, at this time the Three Kingdoms Alliance army has moved, although there are still more than 400 steps away from the center of the battlefield, but for the cavalry galloping wildly, it is just a fleeting thing, if you can't completely defeat the resistance of the Tubo army before the arrival of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, once entangled by the large army of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, with the weak defense of the rangers and the fatigue after a long battle, the result is definitely not much better, this truth Li Zhen knows in his heart, but he knows better that the Tubo army is not destroyed, and Khotan is difficult to break, without him, Of course, the ranger tactics can easily defeat the hoplite squadron in the field, but once it comes to the time of the defense of the city, if you want to take down the hoplites, you have to rely on human lives to pile up, and that kind of price is Li Zhen can't afford to pay, so although he is quite uneasy in his heart, he is afraid that his own rangers will be damaged too much, but Li Zhen still did not order the withdrawal of the army, nor did he order the whole army to come to the aid - at this time, if Li Zhen's whole army presses, the result will be a melee, even if it can win, the loss is not small, And this is also not a result that Li Zhen can accept, so he can only wait, waiting for the opportunity to come.

In terms of resourcefulness, Dong Qianli is not ranked among the generals under Li Zhen's account, but in terms of personal martial arts, in addition to Li Zhen, he is one of the few masters, even if it is Yan Eighteen and Yingda are still a line behind him, he is definitely a fierce general among the fierce generals, at this time, seeing that the Tubo army does not retreat but advances, Dong Qianli can't help but be ecstatic in his heart, laughs wildly, and rushes to kill the war horse, and the scimitar in his hand shakes, blocking the two spears that are coming from the oncoming stab, and a diagonal split with the momentum, with the speed of the horse, Chopped a Tibetan soldier who hit the horse to the ground, and then, ignoring a few Tubo officers and soldiers who scattered to avoid the collision of the war horse, stared at the roaring and killing Bu Nipo, and roared: "Look at the knife!" As soon as the man stood on his horse, he slashed with all his strength with all his might, and slashed down at the head of Bunipa in the face.

Bu Nie Po has always been known for her bravery in the Tubo army, this time she was defeated without a formal battle, and her heart was already depressed and unbearable, at this time, seeing Dong Qianli so despise herself and come to the head, she was even more angry, and yelled: "Kill!" Holding the knife in both hands, he slammed it up, trying to fly Dong Qianli's knife with his own strength, but unfortunately he was wrong, extremely wrong - Dong Qianli's martial arts were beyond his Bu Nie Po's guess, but seeing Dong Qianli laughing, the scimitar that had been slashing down suddenly suddenly changed from fierce to soft, just so lightly trembling, the scimitar has drawn a wonderful arc, avoiding the knife momentum of Bu Nie Po, and then tightly attached to Bu Nie Po's knife body, shaking, internal force burst out, Bu Nie Po felt a hot pain in the palm of his hand, the tiger's mouth was hot, the big knife in his hand had come out of his hand, flew into the air, and before he could understand how all this happened, he saw a twist of his waist, turned sideways, and his empty left hand copied the situation, and between the two horses, he dragged Bu Nie Po, who was in a daze, out of the saddle, and clamped it under his armpit, and forced Bu Nie Po to scream and completely fell into a coma.

Crashed, completely collapsed! The last trace of the fighting spirit in the hearts of the Tubo soldiers disappeared without a trace with the capture of Bu Nepo alive, and the Tubo soldiers who were busy fleeing for their lives threw off their armor and fled to their own rear, and the posture of wishing that his father and mother had a few more legs fell in the eyes of the soldiers of the Tang Rangers, and immediately aroused a cheer, and everyone covered up the past, killing the Tubo soldiers crying and calling their mothers, how miserable.

"Blow the trumpet, collect the troops!" Li Zhen, who has always been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, saw that Dong Qianlisheng had captured Bu Nie Po, and did not hesitate to issue an order to collect the troops - as long as Bu Nie Po was in his hands, Li Zhen would not worry about Fu Yanxiong not fighting to save him, and there was no need to chase and kill the few remaining remnants of the Tubo army at this time, if he lost the rangers because of this, it was not worth it.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Dong Qianli held the unconscious Bu Ni Po in one hand, and slashed left and right with a knife in one hand, and was rushing to kill happily, when he suddenly heard the horn of the withdrawal of troops in this formation, he had to stop the ** war horse, waved his scimitar, and waved the army towards his own formation, and at this time, the forward Hersa of the Three Kingdoms Alliance who rushed to kill had been killed a hundred steps away, and saw that the Tang army rangers had withdrawn, and they refused to collect their troops, and even ignored the Tubo infantry who were fleeing towards their own array, and chased after the retreating Tang army rangers with a roar, Those Tubo infantry who finally escaped from under the Tang saber were unlucky, not dead under the Tang saber, but were trampled to death by their own horses, but in this chaotic army, in addition to scolding the Shule people for not dying well, they can only be trampled in vain. As the most elite of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Tubo Army can be regarded as completely confessed to this Baizhang Plain.

The capture of Bu Neipa obviously disrupted the original strategic deployment of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and the retreat of the Tang Army's rangers without a fight made the previous instructions of the commander of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, Fu Yanxiong, fall into the void, and the two wings of the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army who rushed out at this time were in some confusion due to scheduling problems - Fu Jayong saw that Bu Nieba was captured, and the original acceptance of waving the army to entangle the main force of the Tang Army was obviously a superfluous move, although it was also charging forward, but there was hesitation about whether to launch an attack according to the original plan, and the army was not fast, However, in order to rescue Buniepo, Hersa pursued with all his might, and at this point, the two wings that were originally flush were disjointed and fell into a situation of fighting separately.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill!" Hersa is a young man, and the eldest son of the king, he has the pride of a young man, and he has fought several victories in the country to exterminate the sand bandits, he has always considered himself brave, and does not think that he is much worse than Li Zhen, this time he was ordered to go on the expedition, and he also had the idea of competing with Li Zhen in his heart, he saw that the Tibetan army was defeated so completely, although he was shocked in his heart, but he did not care very much, in his opinion, the cavalry is the king of the battlefield, for the five thousand elite cavalry under his command, Hersa still has enough confidence, At this time, seeing that the Tang rangers had captured Bu Nie Po, they refused to give up, and followed the Tang army rangers to the Tang army's main formation, and the momentum was also very strong.

"Damn Shule, it's going to be bad!" At this time, when he saw that his two wings were disjointed, he suddenly felt bad, and after scolding angrily, he ordered loudly: "Blow the trumpet, order Fu Yanyong to speed up, attack the right flank of the Tang army, and cover Helda's department!" "With the sound of the horn of Khotan's main formation, the Fu Jayong Division, which originally didn't know whether to continue to move forward to cover the killing, also began to accelerate, but due to the previous delay, and the fact that the Fu Jayong Division was a mixed infantry and cavalry army, the action was already not fast, although it had accelerated, it was still a big step behind the Helsa Division, and the fighters of the Tang Army appeared!

Details determine success or failure, especially for the ever-changing battlefield, even more so, a small mistake often causes a tragic consequence, and whether you can catch the flaws exposed by the opponent is the key to whether a general is qualified, Li Zhen is a meticulous person, at this time seeing the disconnection between the two wings of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, he immediately realized that the victory was in front of him, the corners of his mouth bent, laughed, waved his hand, and ordered loudly: "Order: The right wing of Chen Wu's department immediately mounts a horse to attack, and must entangle the left flank of the enemy, The left wing of You Sifan's department is on standby, and it is not allowed to attack without authorization, and the middle lane Lin Chenghe's department is going all out to meet the incoming enemy, and it must be completely defeated! ”

Seeing that the Tang army's main formation was getting closer and closer, Hersa bowed down, arched his back, and stuck tightly to his horse, the straight-handled scimitar in his hand was raised obliquely, and he ordered loudly: "The whole army attack, capture Li Zhen alive, kill!" With a kick in the horse's belly, they rushed to the forefront like a sharp arrow, and when the Shule cavalry saw that their prince was so brave, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all roared and swarmed forward, and for a time the shouts of killing were loud.

After the Tang Army's mid-lane infantry group gave way to the retreating own rangers, the formation on both sides was combined, and a tight defensive formation was formed again, with 1,002 archers in the front row divided into three columns, followed by 800 swordsmen armed with thick/long knives in two columns, and then 2,000 shield swordsmen in the back, and in front of the array were 12 Shenji chain crossbows parked - this crossbow was the first generation of products developed by Li Zhen's laboratory, using the potential energy of twisted clockwork to fire crossbow arrows, not only ratchets, The system is returned, the outer package and firmware of the launch switch, even the twisted clockwork and bow arm are all made of steel, the clockwork sleeve is made of bronze, wound with human or animal power, and can fire ten large crossbow arrows at a time, which is several times more powerful than the ballista used in the Tang Army nowadays, the range is long, and the accuracy is a little lacking, there are wheels under the car, which can be pulled by horses, which can be used for field battles and urban offensive and defensive warfare, this is the first time that this type of ballista has been tested on the battlefield, as for the specific effect, it remains to be tested.

Closer, closer, the crazy charging Hersa's department was extremely fast, and in an instant, it had rushed to a distance of only a hundred steps away from the Tang Army's main formation, and Lin Chenghe, who had always been silent, finally issued a combat order: "Release the arrows, the ballista is ready!" The 1,200 archers who got the order released the bowstring in their hands at the same time, but when they heard a buzzing sound, more than a thousand feather arrows roared towards the Shule people who rushed to kill, and in an instant a blood wave was set off in the Shule people's charging queue, and more than 100 cavalry screamed and were completely swallowed by the wave of the charge, turning into a pile of meat on the grass, and the Shule people were still very brave, and did not stop the charge because of the blow of this arrow rain, but rushed a little faster, and had the courage to step on the Tang array in one fell swoop.

"Ballista, let's go!" Lin Chenghe was not moved by the momentum of the Shule people's desperate charge, and when the Shule people rushed to about fifty steps, he raised his eyebrows and ordered the ballista to attack.

There are five soldiers in charge of each ballista, in addition to a commander in charge of command, aiming, loading, and firing have their own people, this team as a whole, although it is the first time to participate in the war, but all the soldiers are veterans selected from the army, and they are very familiar with the atmosphere of the battlefield, and they are not stage frightened at all in the face of the surging Shule cavalry, and when they get the order to prepare, they have completed the aiming and debugging of the crossbow machine, and wait for Lin Chenghe's order. The twelve crossbow riders pulled the tow rope at the same time, and suddenly the sharp sound of breaking the air was loud, but seeing one hundred and twenty huge crossbow arrows densely packed towards the oncoming Shule cavalry brigade, such a huge impact force could not be blocked by human power, and every crossbow arrow flew through, it was a huge blank, and everything that stood in front of it, whether it was a man or a horse, was all torn to pieces, and the tragic situation of such flesh and blood was really appalling, not to mention the Shule people who suffered from it, Even the soldiers of the Tang Army, who had been in battle for a long time, were numb in their scalps and smacked their tongues in their mouths.

The momentum of the ballista launch is very huge, but in terms of its actual results, in fact, it did not kill many Shule people, one-third of these one hundred and twenty giant crossbows were shot into the air, and one-third were shot on the same line, just tearing the minced flesh into more pieces, one launch, that is, killing less than two hundred Shule people, compared to the previous bow and arrow rain is only slightly stronger, however, its effect is not comparable to the rain of arrows - Shule people are nomads, has long been accustomed to the baptism of arrow rain, even if the people around him fall from the horse, they can still charge desperately, but seeing the people around them being torn to pieces by huge crossbow arrows is far beyond their bearing, the army's heart is in chaos, and the entire charging formation is suddenly scattered, and it is no longer the previous indomitable momentum, but it did not turn around and run away, still under the leadership of Hersa, gritted his teeth and pounced on the Tang army's main formation, which was close at hand, and the bloody hand-to-hand combat began!
