Chapter Ninety-Six: The Battle of Qiangtang (2)

"The wounded soldiers stayed, and the second brigade and the second team bandaged the wounded with five fires and cleaned up the battlefield. The rest of the people pursued in a horizontal formation. โ€

Xiao Yan's order was given very quickly, she didn't need to wave the flag, nor did she need the herald to fly, the fast and powerful voice sounded in the ears of every cavalryman, and when her last word came out, she had already led the cavalry in front of her to pursue it westward.

The cavalry of the fifth fire and the cavalry who were too injured to pursue were stationary in place, and when the surrounding cavalry generally went west, only they were left in this blood-stained battlefield, and the corpses on the ground - maybe there were still those who were not dead, this is the task of the fifth fire, cleaning the battlefield, including treating the wounded soldiers who have not yet died, and also mending the swords of the enemy who are still angry.

A regiment of cavalry pursuing the Tibetan army totaled 126 people, in the interception battle just now, they killed more than 40 people, seriously wounded more than 20 people, riding on horses to pursue the enemy, there were many wounded soldiers, intact except for Xiao Yan, only An Yexi, Ma Yongzhong and other more than a dozen people. However, on the battlefield behind them, more than 150 corpses of the Tibetan cavalry were left, which was a very proud achievement for the recruits.

The cavalry of the first regiment pursued the enemy in a horizontal formation in a horizontal formation, a formation that allowed all cavalry to shoot arrows at the same time. There were 340 Tibetan soldiers who fled westward, and the Tang army chasing behind them was actually less than half of them, but they had lost the will to fight, and they didn't even have the heart to turn around and shoot arrows, so they only fled westward with their heads bored.

Xiao Yan's arrows are like meteors, and every time an arrow is shot, someone will fall off his horse.

She shot the southern flank of the Tubo cavalry, and she shot whoever ran south, and every arrow was a headshot, so that the Tubo cavalry did not dare to flee south, and desperately fled to the northeast to the west.

An Yexi followed closely behind Xiao Yan with the banner of the first regiment, and smiled in his heart, "I was driven into a trap", and silently counted "one, two, three,......

When I counted to ten, I saw that several Fan riders who ran in the front were suddenly thrown out by the horse, and the war horses that rushed behind also tripped one after another, and the soldiers on the horse fell upside down, and the neck bone was broken on the spot, and the quick reaction may fall down on the side, the legs or arms were broken, or only a few ribs were broken, and there were also individual neat skills, and at the moment when the horse hoof tripped and the person was rushed out by inertia, a volley turned over and landed, without the slightest damage, but to push the war horse up and then gallop away, it was enough for the Tang army to catch up and shoot arrows.

The fan rider who ran behind was glad that he didn't run ahead, and his heart was in tears.

The girl actually has a stumbling block!

The grass in the Qiangtang grassland is not deep, and there are more than a dozen rope piles in the middle of such a long tripping horse, and the horses can definitely be found by galloping horses at ordinary times, but at this time, the Tubo cavalry are fleeing in panic, and there are chasing soldiers behind, and from time to time there are screams of arrows in the rear cavalry, everyone is afraid and nervous, and their eyes are staring straight ahead, who will look at the grass? The main thing is that no one would have thought that there would be a stumbling block at all!

It's just too cunning!

The riders behind all scolded "Tang Dog", hurriedly reined in the reins to slow down, and then accelerated after running over the tripping rope.

But after just a dozen breaths of deceleration, the Tang army chased a long distance closer, and was only fifty steps away from the Fan cavalry behind.

The cavalry of the 1st regiment whizzed and shot arrows.

From time to time, the neighing of war horses sounded.

The Tubo cavalry almost ran on horseback, which could not only reduce resistance, but also facilitate the evasion of arrows, and the cavalry of the first regiment except for Xiao Yan, Guo Houze, Ma Yongzhong and other more than a dozen people who were good at riding and archery could shoot people, the rest of the people shot at the horse's buttocks.

The horses screamed in pain and rushed to the front, and the Tubo soldiers who ran behind suddenly became those running in front, and these cavalrymen looked ahead in horror, worried that the war horses would not know how long they could hold out, and worried that there would be another tripping rope in front, and their eyes were wide open, staring at the grass in front.

Soon they screamed!

Pit! Ahhhh

The pit was swept away at a glance, about three zhang wide and one mile long, and it was very eye-catching on the short grass grassland.

The Tibetan cavalry tried their best to rein in the reins, but the horse with the arrow in the butt ran too fast and couldn't restrain it at all, and rushed into the pit as deep as two feet and five feet. It was also a man who could restrain the horse, and almost threw the cavalry off the horse, and immediately became the best target, and with a whooshing sound, the leather armor on his back was broken through by seven or eight iron clusters, and fell off the upright horse.

There were fifty or sixty Tubo soldiers who rushed into the pit in front of them, and there were thirty or forty horsemen who were hit by arrows outside the pit, and the remaining two hundred and thirty Tubo soldiers saw that they could not escape, so some people had the will to fight to the death, turned around and shouted: "Fight with Tang Dog!" โ€

Xiao Yan shot an arrow through his heart, even if he couldn't understand what he was yelling, it seemed that he was going to incite a death war, and this kind of person would have to be killed.

She fired three arrows in a row and exploded the heads of three Tibetan horsemen who raised their bows to shoot arrows, and shouted in a Tibetan language that every soldier must learn: "Surrender and don't kill!" Dismount, abandon the go, and hold your head in your hands! โ€

She stood in front of her on horseback, and behind her a group of cavalry formed a horizontal formation and pressed over, raising her bow and arrows fifty paces away, the tips of which shone with cold light.

Xiao Yan's hard bow was like a full moon, and the tip of the arrow was not aimed at anyone, but every Tubo cavalry on the opposite side felt that they would be shot in the head by that arrow at any time.

Their will to fight has already been destroyed, coupled with the fact that they were tripped by the horse rope in front, their morale was extremely low, and those who wanted to resist โ–กโ–ก also shot their heads crisply and neatly, and the string in their hearts finally snapped under the threat of Xiao Yan's arrows that could kill them at any time and the momentum of the opposite Tang army raising their bows and arrows full of fighting intent...... I don't know whose spear fell to the ground with a "bang", and the people who followed left and right threw their spears, drew the swords at their waists and threw them on the ground, jumped off their horses, and held their heads in their hands.

With those who took the lead in surrendering, the other soldiers lost their opinions when the commanders were all dead, and they threw spears and swords with the crowd, and surrendered.

Xiao Yan gave an order to Guo Houze, the commander of the Second Brigade, to tie more than 200 Tibetan prisoners with the rope of the tripping horse and string them into a long zongzi, leaving only 30 relatively short and thin Tibetan soldiers, who were responsible for scooping up the wounded Tibetan soldiers and war horses in the pit.

Guo Houze secretly praised Gao Ming and responded to the order.

An Yexi carried the flag and followed Xiao Yan's side, and said with a smile: "The captain is really a good move, a rope and a pit, so that we can catch more with less." โ€

It is not difficult to win more with less, and the Tang army's battles against the Hu people are often won with less - less, not weak, which shows the strength of the Tang army. But it is not easy for a recruit to win more with less, and to capture twice as many enemies as himself, and it is easier to defeat than to capture alive, which is a truth that everyone knows.

The cavalry of the first regiment admired Xiao Yan to the end at this time, and they thought that this stumbling rope and trap would not play a role - it was too obvious! Who knows, it is this trap that a discerning person can see, but it will work in this situation!

Even their butt shooting is in the lieutenant's calculations, tsk, this scheming......

In short, none of them escaped!

Their interception mission was simply done perfectly!

It's true that they dug a pit all afternoon yesterday.

The soldiers of the regiment laughed, and the battle was really painful.

After Xiao Yan gave the order, he immediately ordered fifteen cavalry cavalry riding โ–กโ–ก Zhan, including An Yexi and Ma Yongzhong, to return to the battlefield, leaving Guo Houze to lead the other cavalry to clean up the battlefield and escort the prisoners.

Two or three miles away, they galloped back to the battlefield.

The cavalry of the Fifth Fire had already cleared the battlefield, and the wounded soldiers had been medicated and bandaged, but the tip of the spear had been pierced into the chest and abdomen, and the wound was too bad, and they had also mended the knives for these companions, so that they could go quickly. Seeing Xiao Yan galloping forward, the fire chief stepped forward to salute and report the casualties, and his mood had not yet eased from the pain of sending his partner on the road with his own hands.

Xiao Yan nodded, war is so cruel, life and death are only in an instant, and if you want to survive, you must keep getting stronger.

At this time, the battlefield on the western flank had come to an end, and under the charge of the heavy cavalry of the Tang army, a thousand cavalry had fallen in pieces, and more than 400 cavalry were fleeing to the south, and two hundred light cavalry of the Jingnan Army pursued the past.

On the battlefield where the infantry in the middle of the road fought against the Fan cavalry, because most of the light cavalry on the west flank broke away from the battlefield on the west flank and entered from the rear of the Fan army, the 2,000 Fan cavalry that attacked the infantry formation had fallen into the front and rear of the Tang army's infantry and cavalry, and the defeat was a matter of time.

The battlefield on the east flank has been fought more than ten miles away in the southeast, it is the main battlefield of the cavalry, 5,000 Tibetan troops and 5,000 Xiao cavalry are fighting, the Tibetan army is fighting and retreating, but the Xiao cavalry is biting, not to defeat this Tibetan army, but to annihilate them.

After the victory of the Tang Army's heavy cavalry on the western flank battlefield, they immediately galloped to the southeast with thunder and thunder and threw themselves into the eastern flank battlefield.

Xiao Yan took a spear from the Fan Cavalry and stuck it on the ground, jumped to the top with one foot to observe the battle situation, and then jumped down and landed on Chifeng's back.

An Yexi had already handed over a group of flags to Guo Houze, carrying an ash pole gun and riding a horse beside Xiao Yan, and asked excitedly: "Captain, what are we doing next?" โ€

Xiao Yan said: "Do you dare to do a big job?" โ€

She glanced at the fifteen people behind her, and saw a pair of burning eyes.

Ma Yongzhong held the horse lance and said, "Of course I follow the captain!" โ€

Everyone else said, "Let's follow the captain!" โ€

Xiao Yan turned around and ordered the soldiers of the Fifth Fire to stay on the battlefield and stand by, she raised her knife and pointed to the southeast, and said, "Let's go over there!" โ€

To the southeast, it is the direction of the Qingtang Palace.
