The method of using soldiers, ten is to encircle, five is to attack, and the enemy is able to fight, less can defend, and if not, it can be avoided. (The Art of War: The Attack)

Zhangye County is just the opposite, there are 100,000 people in Tubo, more than three times the opponent, but they do the opposite, choose to stick to the city, use the advantages of the city to fight a war of attrition, defensive warfare, ready to drag the opponent to death, consume to death, ruthless, cautious, very human.

However, Qin Huaidao's style of play is also unpredictable, and even looks very immature, but whoever knows a little bit of the art of war, who will use 30,000 people to surround and guard a city with 100,000 male soldiers? Isn't this the work of a reckless man?

Pumins stood on the city wall and watched for a long time, unable to do anything, and became more and more determined to test his mind, and a general next to him also couldn't see through it, and couldn't help asking: "Right marshal, what are the Tang troops digging trenches to stop our army from charging?" Could it be that they also want to fight a defensive war, besiege but not attack, and consume us? ”

"If that's the case, it's good, the food brought is enough for our army to consume for half a year, and the Tang Kingdom will face a life-and-death crisis in less than half a year, what will they consume with us? It's a pity that there are fewer troops, if you can attract 100,000 Tang troops over, the pressure on the second prince's side will be much less, and the chances of victory will be greater. ”

"It's not difficult for the Tang army to continue to increase troops, and if you try to be fierce for a while, it's best to defeat them, and if you lose the battle, you will increase your troops." The general next to him smiled a little smugly.

Putmins didn't answer, staring ahead.

The wind hunts, the flag crackles with the wind, the cold killing intent permeates the entire city, the defenders on the city wall are all dressed in linen and filial piety, and all the white clothes are more and more infiltrating in the sun.

A young general hurriedly came over: "Right commander, the attack army is ready." ”

"Beat the drums, strike!"

"Obey!" The young general shouted: "Beat the drum! ”

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

Thick, low drums rang out, shaking the heavens and the earth, echoing in the wilderness for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, the three gates opened, and each rushed out a cavalry of about 3,000 men.

Knowing the power of the artillery fire, Pumins could avoid the gate where Qin Huaidao was.

"Drive!"

The Tibetan cavalry desperately beat their horses and rushed forward, with a strange cry coming out of their mouths, like a pack of predatory wolves, arrogant, ferocious, and invincible.

Stubborn Sili is urging the army to speed up the digging of a good trench, although it has been formed, but the depth is not enough, not enough to trap the war horse, seeing the three thousand cavalry rushing out, the expression is suddenly awkward, shouting: "Digging brother, squat!" ”

The soldiers, who were desperately digging, heard the order and quickly crouched down, looking vigilantly at the cavalry that had come from them.

At this time, the command of the obsessive power continued to explode: "Everyone is ready to shoot!" ”

The army had already guarded against this one, and they all drew their bows and arrows, aiming ahead.

"Put!" Obsessed with thought power yelled.

"Bang!"

10,000 people shoot feather arrows, it doesn't matter if they can be shot or not, it all depends on the coverage.

Ten thousand feathered arrows rushed into the void like a dark cloud, emitting a terrible scream, like a bloodthirsty demon grinning at food.

"Puff puff!"

The feathered arrows fell on the heads of the cavalry that rushed up, knocking them down one by one, and screaming one after another.

As soon as the cavalry rushed out of the city gate and gathered together, before they had time to disperse, it was difficult to dodge, and in one round of attacks, nearly half of the three thousand cavalry fell.

Without waiting for the cavalry to react, the second round of feathered arrow attacks fell again.

On the city wall, Pumins's face changed greatly when he saw this scene, staring at the overwhelming feathered arrows in front of him, his eyes full of incredulity - how could there be so many archers?

The general next to him also shouted in shock: "No-no is impossible, why are all archers, this is impossible?" ”

Normally, an army cannot be a single army, and it should be a mixed configuration of swordsmen, cavalry, archers, etc.

At this moment, Tubo was stunned by the abnormal Tang army.

It didn't take much time for the cavalry to rush to the Tang army from the city gate, and this time was only for the archers to shoot about five times, but that was 10,000 archers.

After three rounds, there was not much left of the 3,000 cavalry, and they were so dashed that they turned around and ran, but another round of feathered arrows came, and all of them fell, and only a few survived and fled back to the city.

Pu Minsi looked at this scene steadily, suddenly realized that he had been tricked, and shouted: "Quick, go and check if the situation of the other three gates is the same, pass the order, and postpone the follow-up attack." ”

"Obey!" Immediately someone ran to give the order.

The general next to him was shocked and said, "Tang Jun is thinking about it...... Encircle and annihilate our army? Just 30,000 people? Who gives them self-confidence? It's just arrogant! ”

"Do you have a solution?" Pulmins turned to look at the other party.

"This ......," the general frowned and thought.

Pulmins continued: "The gate of the city is narrow, and only a part of it can be rushed out at a time, even if all the 100,000 troops go out to attack, they can only go out of the city in batches, and at most 5,000 at a time, but they are crowded together, and a round of feather arrows comes over and dies more, in front of 10,000 archers, there is no difference between 5,000 and 3,000, they are all live targets, and the enemy's position is beyond the range, and our archers cannot support, which means that the advantage of troops cannot be brought into play, it is easy to calculate, and it is worthy of the legendary god of war!" The use of soldiers is really unique. ”

"And what are they doing with the trenches?" The general asked with some confusion.

"Naturally, it is used to block the attack of our army, if our army attacks with a shield, there will be more people rushing up, as long as the trench is dug well, the people who rush up will even fall into it with men and horses, just a sword soldier rushes up, no one in our army can survive, so exquisite calculation, a little interesting." Pumins exclaimed, his eyes were full of fighting intent, and he had a bit of a chess opponent.

"Newspaper—"

A herald rushed over: "Qi Yu right commander, the other three gates were also blocked by archers, only a few survived and retreated, and the enemy army was all archers." ”

"That's right, herald!" Putmins suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

The loss of 9,000 people in one attack is not a light blow, and the morale that has been aroused hard will fall again if you don't fight back, the veteran of the Putmins battlefield, who understands the importance of morale, shouted: "Launch a second round of temptation, everyone holds a shield, and rushes up in three queues." ”

"Obey!" The herald ran quickly.

The general's eyes lit up when he heard the order, and he said excitedly: "The right commander is wise, he can block arrows with a shield, and three queues rush up, which can avoid crowding, reduce the attack surface of feather arrows, and can also stab into the enemy army like three knives, as long as the enemy army is in chaos, the follow-up army will have an endless source of energy, expand the results of the battle, and the battle will be decided!" ”

"Not necessarily, Tang Jun is cunning, don't be careless!" Pulmins said, but his eyes were full of confidence.

Three cavalry rushed out of the city gate again, with a rainbow of momentum, each with the same number of three thousand.

Seeing that the cavalry who rushed out maintained the formation, it was completely different from the previous swarm of swarms, and he knew it very well, his eyes were sharp, and he shouted: "Order, outflank the two wings!" ”

The large armies on both sides received orders and quickly rushed forward, preparing to attack from the flanks.

Stubbornly staring coldly at the rushing enemy, he calculated the distance, and when he entered the firing range, he shouted, "Archer, kill me!" ”

It was not trivial for three thousand cavalry to rush and kill, and the Tang army couldn't wait for a long time, and they shot one after another when they heard the order.

"Bang!"

After the terrible explosion of the bowstring, countless feathered arrows shot up into the sky, densely packed, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Many Tibetan cavalry were hit by arrows, fell off their horses, and were trampled by war horses, but with shield support, the casualties were obviously much less than the previous attacks.

Seeing that the effect was good, the Tibetan cavalry suddenly had a great increase in morale, screaming, desperately beating horses, as long as they were close, the infantry was a fixed live target, at the mercy of crackling and slashing.

At this time, the Tang troops outflanked on both sides also stopped, opened their bows and arrows, and shot at the Tubo cavalry.

In this way, the Tibetan cavalry faced shooting on three sides, and the shield could only defend one side, and suddenly many people fell off their horses, and the charging formation was chaotic, but no one stopped, but lowered their bodies and rushed forward desperately.

A force of 3,000 cavalry rushed out of the city gate, all screaming and screaming, their swords reflecting the sun, and their momentum was cold, ferocious, and violent.

A flash of melancholy flashed in his eyes, a fight is not a big problem, but it is different if he rushes over one after another, as long as three cavalry attack in three directions, his side will not be able to form a joint force, he reluctantly drew his knife and pointed forward, and shouted: "Guard the battalion, rush up to Lao Tzu and chop them." ”

"Obey!" A young general shouted: "Guard battalion, follow me!" ”

An elite cavalry of 500 men drew their swords, knocked their legs on the horse's belly, and rushed forward.

Lost in his mind, he continued to shout: "Archers listen to my orders, throw!" ”

The soldiers raised their bows one after another, and raised their angles.

"Projectile!"

"Bang!"

There was another terrible explosion of bowstrings, and the feathered arrows shot straight into the void, and when they were high enough, they fell one after another, past the rushing cavalry, and went straight to the newest cavalry rushing out behind.

The battalion of 500 guards rushed forward, blocked the surviving Tibetan cavalry in front, and fought in a group.

The situation has become unfavorable.
