Chapter 295: Hill! Eight! It! Soul!
Da Dou Tu Valley, on the Ebao Ridge, a one-sided battle is continuing. Flesh and blood flying, shouting and screaming.
From the very beginning, the panicked Tibetans were unable to organize a formed defense.
After the siege began, several soldiers of the silver-speared filial piety army put the rope on the wooden fence of the Tibetan people's city wall, and pulled it hard. The wooden fence, which was already fragile due to the wind and sun, collapsed in response.
Seeing that the "city wall" was broken, more than a dozen Tubo soldiers came back to their senses, and before they even had time to change their helmets, they rushed to the gap in the fence to fill their positions. Immediately, some of them were shot in the neck by several flying arrows and fell to the ground.
Wu Chengen and Wu Chengxuan, who are known as the two dragons of Yuanmen in the Hexi Army, have a big bow in their hands at this moment, and they are assisting the sharp knife troops in the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army to storm the city. He Changqi raised a knife and slashed three people in a row. A dozen soldiers behind him covered each other and burst into the city alternately.
Kill God when you meet God, kill Buddha when you meet Buddha!
There were also many elites of the silver-speared Xiaojie army beside him who used crossbow arrows to open the way, and the Tubo soldiers were knocked down one after another as if they had been cut wheat, and most of them didn't even have time to raise their shields. People kept rushing out of the alleys in the city, but like a tactic of adding oil, the system was scattered, and they could only fight on their own, like headless flies.
There are no gates to speak of, and wooden fences are everywhere.
The Tang Army's divine soldiers descended from the sky, and they had rushed into the city from several gaps at the same time, cutting down people when they saw them, like a wild beast rushing forward. The Tubo people, who didn't even wear armor, basically lost their combat effectiveness when they were hit by crossbow arrows, and the only thing left was to be hacked to death sooner or trampled to death later.
The Tubo people of the "chicken thieves", because of the harsh and changeable climate, generally do not wear armor, in fact, they cannot wear armor for daily patrols. Although the strict military regulations in the Tibetan army required that they must wear armor on duty, almost no one in Ebao seriously implemented them.
Legislators never know where the pain lies in grassroots implementation.
The climate in the valley is changeable, the cold comes to take off the armor, the heat comes to take off the armor, sometimes the cold and the hot weather reincarnate several times a day, each time less than an hour.
Patrolling in armor in this climate can sometimes kill people if you don't get it right.
And in the past few decades, no Tang army has come to attack Ebao, who in the Tubo army will have the heart to guard against thieves for a thousand days?
In the slavery of Tibet, many times the strict military orders were directly turned into decorations. As long as there is no fighting in the corresponding location for a long time, lax garrison is inevitable.
He Changqi led the first fifty people in the Silver Spear Filial Piety Festival, all the way from the gap in the fence to the tower of Ebao, and the white sheepskin clothes on his body were all dyed red. His helmet, cheeks, and hands were all covered in blood, and drop by drop fell to the ground, and even the horizontal knife was cut five times!
The dozens of people who followed him were almost all like this, all of them were red-eyed, and in the end, they only relied on their clothes to judge whether they were enemies, as long as they were not wearing white sheepskin clothes, they were all killed! Basically, it's a judgment of the eyes, and the body is reflexively judged whether to swing the knife or not.
It wasn't until they had killed Ebao that the heads of the gang calmed down, and the hot sweat on their bodies turned into cold sweat. They were frightened when they looked at the hideous corpses all over the ground, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Seeing the blood that had flowed into a ditch on the ground, he endured nausea and did not vomit.
Many of these soldiers were experienced in battle, but many were first-time soldiers. was selected into the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army, just because of their good health and excellent skills and tactics, it doesn't mean that they really killed ten people and hundreds of people with knives in their own hands.
These soldiers didn't think so much about it when they rushed to kill, and they didn't know how many lives they had in their hands. After the battle, they found that their team had become killing gods, and the other personnel of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army consciously used their repeating arms to open crossbows to fill their positions for cover.
Not only did He Changqi, who led the team, kill a lot, but there were also a lot of people in the team behind him. In just one hour, the two dragons of Yuanmen shot a total of ten quivers, with an average of fifty arrows in each quiver, and after the battle, their arms were trembling.
Under Fang Chongyong's high-pressure order in advance, the vanguard of the 1,000-strong Silver Spear Filial Piety Army, because they were worried that the enemy would have too many soldiers, was already in a blank state of brain during the battle. Even if the anger of the Tubo people collapsed later, they still raised their swords and killed the Tubo soldiers who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
In the feudal era, when the army fought a war, it was often about to collapse after 15 percent of the battle was damaged, and it was rare for one side to kill all the opponents in one go. The bloodiness of the Battle of Ebaoling lies in the fact that the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army has obviously achieved absolute superiority, but it does not listen to how the Tubo people beg for mercy.
Anyway, it's just one word: kill!
Kill until you're done!
They are not taking pleasure in killing, but unconsciously exerting all their combat effectiveness in a tense state, as if they have entered a fixed program, and they have gone crazy.
Unless Fang Chongyong gave the order to die here, no matter who ordered them to stop, these people would not be able to carry out the military order.
Guo Ziyi, who was at the rear of the battle array, watched the whole process of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army killing the enemy, and did not participate in it, but took a few personal soldiers from the Chishui Army without saying a word, and watched silently like this.
No military orders were issued.
The pro-soldiers beside Guo Ziyi showed fear on their faces, and they forcibly held back, and their facial expressions were very tangled.
They really have never seen such courage in battle, He Changqi's style of play, it is like now is the last moment in his life, so he simply let it go!
Although his face was silent, this method of training the best of the best, the tactics of breaking the face with points, and the fierce and ruthless one-sided killing gave Guo Ziyi a great shock.
What broke down the popularity of the Tibetan people was actually the sharp knives that were effectively organized in the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army, and the number of them did not exceed 100. In the offensive and defensive battles of small fortresses like Ebao, the sharp knife troops of less than 100 people killed the Tibetan people and produced miraculous results.
More than half of the Tibetan soldiers were hacked to death by other silver-speared filial piety soldiers who rushed up after their morale collapsed, just like slaughtering chickens. On the contrary, the fighting intensity of these soldiers was not high, because the morale of the Tibetan people had been shattered by that time.
An hour later, the blood stains on his body had not dried up, and He Changqi, who was about to lose his true colors in the sheepskin coat on his body, came to Guo Ziyi with a human head, and threw the head to the ground very rudely and said: "This is the head of the defenders of Tubo Ebao. The number of people has just been counted, and the defenders of Ebao are less than 2,000 people, which is much less than expected. ”
According to the estimation in advance, Fang Chongyong thought that the Tubo army in Ebaoling should have 5,000 people, right? It's not easy to supply here, just relative to the Tang army in the Hexi Corridor, but the Kangyuan area is not far south of Ebaoling, and there is no mountain road to go.
It should not be too difficult for the Tibetan army to support 5,000 people to defend the key node of the source. After all, Qiyuan is the logistics base of Tubo, and Ebaoling can be regarded as next to the logistics base.
"Tubo is in Shanzhou to attack Shibao City, and it is necessary to gather troops, perhaps the main force of the Tubo army, which was originally near Kangyuan, has already moved south from Kangyuan.
The elite soldiers of Ebaoling should have also been withdrawn. ”
Guo Ziyi folded his arms and said thoughtfully, he thought of an extremely terrifying thing.
If it is really as he thinks, it can only mean that there are spies of the Tubo people in the center of the Tang Dynasty, or there are important ministers of the court who have fornicated with the Tubos.
This person knew very well how the center of the Tang Dynasty used troops, and also knew that the Hexi Army was going to expedition to the Western Regions, and it was impossible to send troops to support Longyou, so the Tubo people relaxed their precautions against Hexi Town, and transferred the main force of the northern front to the north of Shanzhou, preparing to attack the Hehuang Valley in the north and south, and seek to capture Shibao City.
It takes time for the army to transfer troops, especially the logistics strength of the Tubo people is far lower than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the preparation time required is longer, so they need to plan in advance.
Therefore, the Tibetan side probably knew very early that the Hexi Army was going to expedition to the Western Regions, and began to prepare very early.
That's why they can have today's strategic deployment, and in the defense area of the Longyou Jiedu envoy, the battle is in the upper hand!
It is impossible for ordinary border generals of the Tang Dynasty to know in advance the military situation of the Hexi Army to expedition to the Western Regions, right?
Even if they knew, it was a recent thing, and the Tubo people clearly knew about it a long time ago.
So who is this person who betrayed Datang's military deployment?
His status must be very high, right?
Is it in the military department, or is it in the ...... Around the saints?
Guo Ziyi thought about this terrible thing in her heart, and she didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
"Let's go and arm, Fang Jieshuai will be here in half a day."
Guo Ziyi said with a light sigh.
"Hmm."
He Changqi nodded slightly, with a look of disdain on his face, turned around and left.
"Envoy Guo, this silver spear filial piety festival is so unruly, and it is fierce and brutal, can it be repaid in the future?
Who can restrain them? ”
A soldier leaned over and whispered.
"Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second, it must be the person who should be in charge of them, you your heart."
Guo Ziyi waved her hand tiredly, too lazy to argue with a pro-soldier.
……
At the highest point of Ebao Ridge, more than 1,000 heads of the Tubo army were made into "Jingguan" and placed together. There are constantly scavenging birds such as vultures hovering in the sky, and it seems that they are impressed by the momentum of Kyokan and dare not come down.
Fang Chongyong looked at He Changqi who was triumphant in front of him speechlessly, and then looked at the heads of the Tubo soldiers who were built in the Jingguan, suppressed the fire temperament in his heart and asked, "How many heads are there in this Jingguan?" ”
"Hui Jieshuai, one thousand eight hundred and forty-five! There are no less than one! Not a single Tibetan army let go! ”
He Changqi almost didn't say "Praise me" on his face, if he had a tail, his tail would be able to rise to the sky.
"Do you say the number of these heads is too much or too little?"
Fang Chongyong continued to ask, his face expressionless, and he was already on the verge of breaking out.
He Changqi remembered the scene of the meeting before departure, and said reluctantly: "It is much less than expected. ”
"yes, you know less than expected, so what does that mean?"
Fang Chongyong asked rhetorically.
"Description...... The Tibetan people don't pay attention to Ebaoling? ”
He Changqi asked suspiciously.
"Idiot! This shows that the source is empty! The main force of the Tibetan army has been transferred!
Why don't you know how to lead the troops to rush to the source when you step on the horse! Wait for me to come over, you wait for a fart!
If I on the road for a day, will you wait a day? ”
Fang Chongyong roared loudly at He Changqi, and the generals and soldiers at all levels within dozens of meters around him could hear it clearly, but no one dared to laugh.
"This time, the handsome brought two thousand silver guns for the filial piety festival, one person and two horses.
Now, leave fifty people to guard Ebao Ridge, and the rest of the people will rush to the source with this section of Shuai.
He Changqi, if you dare to delay the military plane again this time, this section will cut off your head first to sacrifice the flag!
Walk! Let's go now!
Those who step on horses, have time to do Jingguan and have no time to fight, I'm angry with Lao Tzu! ”
Fang Chongyong pulled out the Wind Phantom Knife, pointed at the silver spear Xiaojie sergeant who was in a sluggish state not far away, and scolded: "Look at Nima, prepare it for Lao Tzu, and pull it out after a stick of incense!" Do you think you will win by defeating Ebaoling, you are really not afraid of the Tubo people counterattacking, why don't you hurry up and prepare to pull! ”
Hearing this, the generals scattered as birds and beasts, they had never seen Fang Chongyong make such a big fire.
"Fang Jieshuai, are we waiting for Liu Jun to make them come with the main force of the Great Dou Army, now Ebao has less than 3,000 soldiers......
Guo Ziyi walked up to Fang Chongyong and whispered.
Holding Ebao Ridge is already invincible. On the contrary, before the soldiers and horses arrived, they took the vanguard army to send it, and the Ebao Ridge was gained and lost, which would cause great strategic passivity.
The task now should be to defend this key battlefield node!
Guo Ziyi's suggestion is actually very pertinent.
"The Silver Spear Filial Piety Army is the Son of Heaven's pro-army.
Only the Tibetan people are afraid of us, and there is no us who are afraid of the Tibetan people.
Now that the time, place, and people are on our side, if the soldiers of the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army do not dare to rush, then there is no need for this army to exist.
An army without a military soul is not worthy of being an elite.
Guo Jun's envoy should guard Ebao, Liu Jun's envoy (Liu Gong) should have set off with the Dadou army, and the commander of this section had already sent someone to inform him to bring his troops over. ”
"Fang Jie is handsome...... If our more than 2,000 silver-speared filial piety troops can sweep away Qianyuan, then what's the point of letting the big fighting army come over? ”
Guo Ziyi, who is quick thinking and proficient in the art of war, asked Fang Chongyong a question that hit the soul directly.
If Liu Gong is allowed to come, there will definitely not be enough soldiers, and if there are not enough soldiers, he should not set out to attack Kangyuan now.
If it has been decided to set off now, it means that there are enough soldiers and horses, and there is no need for Liu Gong to "travel" with the Great Dou Army.
Fang Chongyong, what kind of trouble is this?
Guo Ziyi was very puzzled in her heart.
"Well, this section commander doesn't know either.
Anyway, where to rush this time, what if we break through the Tubo army on the northern front?
This section commander only knows that the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and it can fight in the last person, and the horse leather shrouds and return.
Only we can't be afraid of wolves and tigers, let's go, goodbye. ”
Fang Chongyong turned over and beckoned to Guo Ziyi.
Now Guo Ziyi doesn't know that in the future, the only thing he can rely on to make a living in Datang is the knife in his hand!
With a great opportunity in front of you, how can you give up sharpening your knives?
Fang Chongyong secretly complained in his heart, but he wouldn't say these words.
He actually wants to be a civil official who grinds his lips and is chic everywhere, but the reality forces him to be strong and martial arts.
When the environment can't adapt to you, you can only actively or passively adapt to the environment!
This is the choice of life!
Fang Chongyong put the Wind Phantom Knife back into its scabbard, and looked at the green grassland below the mountain with a determined gaze.
If you can suppress the lawless Qiu Ba of the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army, the main general can't be coaxed! After the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is gone, the cowards do not deserve to live.
In this battle, Fang Chongyong wants to make the name of the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army a taboo in the Tubo Army, and the color of the talk will change! Become the irreplaceable trump card by Brother Ji's side, and become the killer weapon of his own foothold in Datang!
What does it mean to be afraid? A sneer appeared at the corner of Fang Chongyong's mouth.
A group of soldiers of the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army began to take off their sheepskin coats and other cold-proof equipment in an orderly manner, loaded them into their bags, and hung them on their horses.
Then they changed into leather armor and prepared to march on horseback.
The next target is the logistics base of the northern line of the Tibetans: Qianyuan!
The ignorant world doesn't know at this moment that the legend of the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army kicked off from here.
