Section 6 Fierce Man
Cocoon Niang ran out of the shop, dragging Qu Zhuo desperately, she really wanted Qu Zhuo and the children to hide in the hole, if she wanted to die, she should die first.
"I can't hide, Cocoon Niang, I can't hide, there are too many people coming, this city must be destroyed, we are Tang people, we can't be burned to death in a hole like a mouse."
Qu Zhuo patted the cocoon's face, asked her to go back to accompany the child, and walked towards the city gate alone with a knife, he didn't greet these kneeling people, these people are all dead people, they have long lost their blood, and they are not worthy of fighting side by side with him.
A tall war horse in heavy armor appeared at the gate of the city, the feathers on the knight's head almost touched the top of the city gate, black armor, black cloak, holding a long knife in his hand, carrying five throwing spears behind his back, a strong crossbow with good strings hanging behind him, a flail inserted in the waist ribs, the huge hammer head swayed gently, the hideous armor was put down, and only a pair of gloomy eyes could be seen from the small anti-arrow fence.
When one comes out, there will be a second, and a third......
Qu Zhuo wanted to scream, but her throat was so choked that she couldn't say a word, and the cocoon girl screamed and stretched out her arms in front of her husband, she didn't want those beast-like knights to get close to her husband.
The knight at the head ignored Qu Zhuo, just took out the flail from his waist and threw it at Qu Zhuo's feet, and then ran through the street without stopping, and ran towards the back city gate.
The blade under Qu Zhuo's feet was constantly increasing, and when a horizontal knife was inserted in front of him, Qu Zhuo patted his cocoon Niang and let her into the house, in the confused gaze of the cocoon Niang, Qu Zhuo began to equip his body with weapons, and the palm-wide cow belt was tied around his waist, and the flail was lifted up and inserted with difficulty. Then he put the bow and arrow on his back, put his fork into his boots, and straddled his waist with a horizontal sword, and found no war horse, he walked up to the lord of the city who stuck his head in the sand, and said coldly: "Horse." I want horses, three! ”
The city lord raised his face stained with sand, stood up quickly, led three horses from behind the wall, knelt on the ground and used his body as a horse stone, the equipment on his body was too heavy, Qu Zhuo was on the war horse three times without success, the city lord called over four strong men, and then Qu Zhuo was put on the war horse.
A torrent of cavalry passing through the streets. It seems that these people are not seen, just silent and fast pass through the city.
"If my wife and children are damaged in any way, you will be trampled into mud by the horses." Qu Zhuo sat firmly on the horse, turned back to the city lord and gave an order, smiled at the cocoon girl, and urged the horse to run towards the back door with the cavalry torrent.
Cocoon Niang saw the big flag, and there was a very big Tang character written on it, which her husband had taught herself. So she also knows what it means. I vaguely heard the children's cries, and then hurried back to the storeroom. Pushing open the cabinet, he stood on the side of the road with two children and watched the army advance.
Countless warhorses dragged light ballistas through the street at a high speed, and the city lord did not see the tail of this team there, but secretly glanced at it, and continued to stick his head in the sand and wait for his verdict.
This is the army, Cocoon Niang wiped away her tears. At this moment, it was like a dream, she had seen the army of the Nanzhao people, the army of the people of the Western Regions, and the army of the Tubo people, and no army could compare with this army.
The children's immature Tang Yin. The soldiers in the army laughed and kept throwing the food over, and after a while, it was piled up like a hill, and the city lord was blessed to the soul, got up from the ground, and didn't know where to find four or five women, let them serve the cocoon girl, and carry the big basket himself, put all the food in it, and learn the etiquette of the Tang people to stand behind the cocoon girl and play the role of the housekeeper.
"Where's Qu Zhuo?" A young general stopped beside Cocoon Niang, teased the two children, and asked Wen Yan.
"My husband rode a horse to kill those Tibetan robbers." Cocoon Niang stumbled answered.
"What kind of Tubo can he kill, and where are the things I want him to collect? Give it to them. After Yun Ye said this, he put a handful of toffee in the hands of the two children, and rode away again.
The Dina Pass is not big, but it is the main road for merchants to enter and exit the desert, now there are large groups of robbers gathered here, they are messy in the east and west to eat, Tubo has never been a unified country, all the Tubo people belong to their own tribe and do not belong to some Luo, they advocate the lone eagle, only when robbing will be twisted into a rope, back to Tubo will be scattered back to their own tribe.
The Tibetan people's favorite object of robbery is the Tang people, only by robbing the Tang people can they get the best sword, the best spear, and even the best armor, this time they are planning to snipe the Tang army, while they are far away from the desert, exhausted when the blow is successful.
When the Tang people died of thirst in the desert, it was not too late to go to the desert to pick up those weapons, Shanshan City was their foraging place, and those people from the Western Regions left in a hurry after providing them with some food, these guys who were already cowards without tying the fox's tail were not warriors.
Yun Ye's army surrounded the Dina Pass in a semi-circle lightly, and he was surprised by the way, didn't these Tubo people even send scouts? In order to prevent the treacherous tricks of the Tubo people, Yun Ye slowly advanced almost step by step.
"Dashuai, this is how the Tubo people fight, they only believe in their own strength, impulsive like a yak, it is because of this way, Songtsen Gampo, and Lu Dongzan can conquer Tubo lightly in a short time, the way the Tubo savages in these places fight is to rush up and kill in a swarm, you don't need to be so careful. Qu Zhuo finally took a breath, and being fully armed was a burden for him.
If it is the Tang army, dare to arrange 5,000 soldiers densely in a radius of one mile, this commander will never escape the order to be beheaded by the emperor, if the 5,000 cavalry is placed in such a small position, the only possibility waiting for this commander is to exterminate the nine tribes, the Tubo people don't care, scrape together some money, grain and livestock to Songtsan Gampo, and then be happy to be their own big sa, with brave clansmen everywhere to rob, life is very happy.
By the time Yun Ye had arranged the Eight Bull Crossbow formations, those Tubo people were still eating, some were drinking, and there were constantly singing voices, and a few guys who were singing happily waved their robes and began to dance.
"Dashuai, the position we put on is a defensive position, and now this group of stupid pigs doesn't know that they have never fought such a battle, what should we do now? And the Tibetan people are consuming? Fan Hong scratched his head and was a little worried, according to the commander's orders, the crossbow array was at the front, followed by the Mo swordsman, then the spearmen, and finally the cavalry, this is the standard defensive position. The place is too small, the power of the crossbow array is infinitely magnified, but the ability of the cavalry is infinitely reduced. There's not even a room to go around from the side.
Yun Ye was about to send a small team to harass the Tubo people, who knew that a Tubo man who had nothing to do and liked to stand on a high place and sing, suddenly shouted excitedly, he saw the dense Tang army behind the mountain bag, his first reaction was not to be afraid, but to be happy, he had long wanted to wear the armor of the Tang people, what a chance.
When one person moved, all the Tubo people began to move, and the Tang people blocked some wooden shelves in front of the military formation, could these things hinder the attack of the Tubo warriors?
There is no organization, only the formation that is naturally formed during the robbery on weekdays, some of the Tubo people who have seen the weapons of the Tang people hesitated for a moment and fell behind slightly, those who have never been on the formal battlefield, only participated in the robbery of the young Tubo, roared and rushed over, they thought that this time as before, with their own force can break this military formation, in the Western Regions they have rushed across countless military formations.
Lai Chuanfeng opened his mouth and looked at the Tubo people who rushed over and asked his subordinates: "These people don't know the power of the Eight Bull Crossbow?" Or are they invulnerable from top to bottom? “
"Try it, general, let's try it, I don't believe that there are people in this world who can't be killed with a crossbow." Seeing that the Tibetan horse team crossed the rangefinder arrow, the commander activated the eight-bull crossbow with a single hammer.
These eight-bull crossbows are all products of the improvement of the academy, the volume has been reduced by as much as five times, but the power has not been reduced much, many wood parts have been replaced with steel, and the two crossbow arms are all made of soft steel, the previous eight-bull crossbows rely on elastic crossbow strings to provide enough power, but now it is different, the crossbow arms will also provide enough power for siege chisels.
Seeing that he was about to rush to the front of the Tang people's array, the first Tubo who killed felt that his body was flying, and it was flying backwards, and he crossed his companion high, at this time he felt that his chest was very painful, a thick crossbow pierced his body, he saw a heart flying backwards with him, and then he felt the boundless darkness invade him, and finally completely annihilated himself.
"General, you see, the eight-bull crossbow can shoot them, just now only one arrow killed, this time I will shoot arrows at a place with a lot of people, can you kill them? Can an eight-ox crossbow kill a dead person? “
The chatter of the general once again inspired the eight-ox crossbow, and this time, the sound of the eight-ox crossbow sounded like a thunderbolt in the desert, and a row of arrow walls made of siege chisels pushed flat from the crossbow array.
No matter how strong the Tubo people were, they were still as fragile as pieces of paper under the bombardment of the Eight Ox Crossbows, and with every shot, the siege chisel would open a no-man's road in the dense Tubo crowd.
After a round of crossbow arrows was fired, the battlefield was already in mourning, if it was shot to death once by the eight-bull crossbow, the wails of those Tubo people who had been chiseled through the arms and thighs by the thick siege chisels resounded through the Dina Pass.
Death did not frighten these Tibetans, they held the corpses of their companions, and once again rushed forward bravely, such an attack had made countless people fearful, and they imagined that this time would be no exception. (To be continued......)
